Amongst its pages, there are many familiar names—Oscar Wilde, Quentisn Crisp, Sappho, James Baldwin, Freddie Mercury — but also many we might not expect: Florence Nightingale, Marlene Dietrich, Cary Grant, J. Edgar Hoover, Eleanor Roosevelt, Tchaikovsky, Greta Garbo, Richard the Lionheart, even Abraham Lincoln, along with 1000 other stories of artists, generals, politicians, kings, despots and many more figures drawn from 5000 years of hidden culture. Keith Stern came to the Bureau to talk about his extraordinary encyclopaedia ‘Queers in History', what drove him to write it, and why it matters. The book is more than a who's-who of queer life —it's a challenge to the official version of the past, a reminder of how history gets made, unmade, and remade, depending on who's telling the stories, inviting us to consider how queerness has always existed, and has contributed to the culture. And we get into the subject of whether Gandalf was Queer - yes, we really do…

From social media activism to systemic change, this conversation explores how creativity and innovation can fuel a global movement for good.⸻ Article ⸻ Sometimes, the best stories are the ones that keep unfolding — and Michael Sheldrick's journey is exactly that. When we first spoke, Global Citizen had just (almost) released their book From Ideas to Impact. This time, I invited Michael back on Redefining Society and Technology because his story didn't stop at the last chapter.From a high school student in Western Australia who doubted his own potential, to co-founding one of the most influential global advocacy movements — Michael's path is a testament to what belief and purpose can spark. And when purpose is paired with music, technology, and strategic activism? That's where the real magic happens.In this episode, we dig into how Global Citizen took the power of pop culture and built a model for global change. Picture this: a concert ticket you don't buy, but earn by taking action. Signing petitions, tweeting for change, amplifying causes — that's the currency. It's simple, smart, and deeply human.Michael shared how artists like John Legend and Coldplay joined their mission not just to play music, but to move policy. And they did — unlocking over $40 billion in commitments, impacting a billion lives. That's not just influence. That's impact.We also talked about the role of technology. AI, translation tools, Salesforce dashboards, even Substack — they're not just part of the story, they're the infrastructure. From grant-writing to movement-building, Global Citizen's success is proof that the right tools in the right hands can scale change fast.Most of all, I loved hearing how digital actions — even small ones — ripple out globally. A girl in Shanghai watching a livestream. A father in Utah supporting his daughters' activism. The digital isn't just real — it's redefining what real means.As we wrapped, Michael teased a new bonus chapter he's releasing, The Innovator. Naturally, I asked him back when it drops. Because this conversation isn't just about what's been done — it's about what comes next.So if you're wondering where to start, just remember Eleanor Roosevelt's quote Michael brought back:“The way to begin is to begin.”Download the app. Take one action.

En esta plaza singular que es X, donde las palabras son estoque y los argumentos muleta, vamos a presentar a dos invitados de lidia mayor. Y lo haremos con el lenguaje de los ruedos, no por folclore, sino porque nada como la tauromaquia para retratar el valor, el estilo y la acometida con que estos dos tuiteros se enfrentan a las fieras del pensamiento dominante. Aquí no hay paseíllo por cortesía: entran directamente a los medios, desafiando a la plaza. Dos espadas de la palabra digital, dos figuras que no rehúyen ni el quite ni el embroque: Vaitovek a vuelto @Vaitovekisback y el periodista y escritor Manuel Valera @mmvaleraes. Cada uno, con su capote de opiniones afiladas, lidia en la plaza virtual con un estilo propio: Vaitovek corta con derechazos polémicos, desafiando narrativas sociales y políticas, mientras Valera traza naturales profundos, embistiendo contra el poder y la censura con una faena que busca el clamor del tendido. Por desgracia mucho del publico se encuentra todavía en sombra y ni los ve ni comprende su toreo. Son maestros que, con sus publicaciones, torean el albero de las ideas, dejando huella en cada pase para quienes siguen sus lances en esta plataforma. El primero en salir al ruedo es el diestro @Vaitovekisback, que no se anda con tanteos: entra de frente y por derecho, con una faena cargada de arrestos y verdad. «Como saben quienes me leen soy ateo. Pero además tengo sentido de la justicia e instintivo gusto por dar de hostias a los matones. Y hoy está claro que los católicos son especie perseguida, por tanto este diablo ateo fostiara siempre que pueda a quienes les ataquen injustamente.» Desde los primeros lances ya se ve que no es torero de salón. Con el capote bien asentado y los pies clavados en la arena, suelta verónicas afiladas que cortan el aire de lo políticamente correcto. «Qué hasta los cojones estoy de la moralina hipócrita del "odio". Si alguien viola a tu hija o te incendia tu casa y no le aborreces con todo tu ser y no descansas hasta hacer justicia y castigarle exactamente como merece, al milímetro, ESTÁS MUERTO IMBÉCIL.» Sus muletazos —con carga polémica— no esquivan las zonas calientes: feminismo, victimismo, moralina hipócrita, plandemias, holocuentos… «Soy incapaz de expresar lo increíblemente harto que estoy del supremacismo victimista, histérico, llorica, hipócrita, despótico y lunático de la gran mayoría de las mujeres, las cuales se han vuelto, feministas y no, absolutamente insoportables en todo y para todo.» No hay quite templado ni media verónica para el lucimiento. Aquí cada pase es una estocada a la línea de flotación de los discursos dominantes. Habla de la pandemia como una farsa sin ruedo, de las vacunas como veneno con etiqueta oficial, y de las élites como resabios de inquisidores modernos. «Operación COVID: Sólo hay un crimen más execrable y perverso que envenenar masivamente a la población de medio mundo, niños incluidos, a saber: Hacerlo engañándoles, convenciéndoles de que el veneno es una vacuna contra una enfermedad fantasma inventada y representada al efecto.» Como buen matador de fondo, no rehúye el tercio de varas: se planta y aguanta los pitos del respetable que no quiere ver como flojean al toro, y lanza pases largos a la inmigración subvencionada, a la corrupción mediática y a lo que él llama "el culto al gilipollas". «¿Asesinar al Presidente del Gobierno de otro país para promover un cambio de régimen conforme a los intereses del tuyo es un golpe de Estado extranjero o una "transición política pacífica y modélica”?» Sus reflexiones sobre inmigración, con las que apunta a las subvenciones como cómplices de salarios rácanos, o sus desplantes a los medios tradicionales, comparados con un culto ciego, levantan polvareda en los tendidos. «Soy "racista". Y estoy orgulloso de serlo. Y voy a por los hideputas racistas musulmanes, judíos y de toda laya que están jodiendo a mi gente. Y tú no eres "racista" sino un pobre gilipollas nenaza que piensa que si les chupas la polla lo bastante la cosa no será tan mala.» Desde 2023 hasta este julio de 2025, nunca ha salido por la puerta de chiqueros: siempre está al sol, toreando en abierto. «Qué interesante sería un estudio exhaustivo sobre la relación matriz-filial entre logias masónicas (y think thanks, fundaciones, etc. asociados) y partidos políticos, comenzando por las Rev. inglesa, francesa, americana, bolchevique, etc. hasta nuestros días.» En resumen, un torero bronco y con raza, que no busca trofeos fáciles sino remover los cimientos. Y tras el primer toro arrastrado ya por las mulillas, aparece de luces Manuel Valera, que le cae como anillo al dedo, con el porte y la gallardía que mandan los cánones del arte taurino. ¡Ole maestro! grita un exaltado desde el tendido nada más ver como se echa la muleta a la izquierda con serenidad y temple. Su estilo no es el del golpe seco, sino el del pase largo y profundo, con hondura crítica y aroma de disidencia ilustrada. Celebra el despertar colectivo frente a narrativas como la pandemia o la ingeniería climática. «Ahora estamos mal, pero estamos mejor que antes, porque antes estábamos bien, pero era mentira. No como ahora, que estamos mal pero es de verdad.» Hay en sus tuits algo de vieja escuela, como los naturales de Curro Romero o los cambios de mano de Rafael de Paula: no muchos, pero cada uno deja eco. Sus mensajes destilan propósito, convicción y una pulsión ética que no necesita ruido para ser contundente. «Un propósito en la vida. Una misión. Tomar lo tuyo como un monacato, levantarte y ponerte a ello sin que nada sea capaz de pararte.» Desde 2022 aqui en Twitter, y con especial fuerza en este 2025 donde nos regala su Nautilus todos los días, su faena se ha centrado en desenmascarar el relato oficial, denunciar la ingeniería social y reivindicar la lucidez como forma de resistencia. «La risa deshace el miedo, provoca que se tambaleen los cimientos del poder y libera a los presos del terror.» No rehúye ni el tercio de muerte: entra a matar con la palabra justa. Acusa a farmacéuticas, a gobiernos, a medios, y a quienes siguen el rebaño por inercia. Y si en la plaza hay censura, la señala con precisión quirúrgica. «La gente empieza a hablar abiertamente de invasión, de ingeniería climática, del robo de todos los políticos, del veneno de las farmacéuticas... Quizá esté siendo tan progresivo que no se haya notado, pero vaya cambio desde 2020. Ningún disidente se vuelve obediente. Sí al revés.» En sus crónicas, los poderosos son criminales, los ciudadanos despiertan, y el cambio ya está en marcha. Su muleta no busca el aplauso fácil: busca verdad. «Están pataleando inmersos en el barro, literal y figurado, de su miseria moral. A los que os acabáis de dar cuenta de que nos gobiernan criminales, a nivel mundial, y son todos, sólo deciros que eso es lo que muchos llevamos diciendo desde hace tanto.» Pero —¡ay!— como en toda buena corrida, llega el momento de cambiar de tercio. Y es entonces cuando estos dos toreros, que han dominado la plaza con arte y arrojo, se transfiguran en toros. Dejan el traje de luces y se desvisten en pelo negro de Miura: bravos, astifinos, impredecibles. Vaitovek se crece al castigo y embiste con la mirada fija en el burladero de lo correcto. Valera, encastado, mete los riñones con cada tuit y no deja un metro sin pisar en el redondel del pensamiento. Y aquí estoy yo, capote en mano, dispuesto a recibirlos a puerta gayola. Sí, porque en este Spaces, los lances serán míos. Aqui estoy plantado en el centro de este coso digital, dispuesto a templar sus embestidas, a sacarles pases por bajo, a dejarme rozar la taleguilla si hace falta, y a buscar, en cada frase, ese olé que nace del buen toreo. El respetable está listo. La plaza de X vibra. Que suene el clarín: empieza la entrevista. ………………………………………………………………………………………. He elegido esta estructura taurina para presentar el Spaces del día 22 a las 22 horas porque, más allá del arte del toreo, este encuentro es un pequeño homenaje al glorioso Dúo Sacapuntas, ese par de genios del humor que todos recordamos vestidos de toreros en el mítico Un, dos, tres. Y por supuesto porque se, Manuel, que tu eres un grandísimo aficionado. Porque sí, amigos, cuando uno ve a @Vaitovekisback y @mmvaleraes juntos en acción, no puede evitar pensar en aquel inolvidable “¡cómo estaba la plaza, abarrota!”, y su archifamoso 22, 22, 22. Aunque aquí en vez de chistes vienen derechazos dialécticos y naturales argumentativos. Así que prepárense, que el tendido digital se viene arriba… ¡y sin falta de subirse al carro de las mulillas que aqui no va a servir ninguno para hacer rabo de toro! ………………………………………………………………………………………. "Las mentes grandes discuten ideas; las mentes promedio discuten acontecimientos; las mentes pequeñas discuten sobre personas.” Eleanor Roosevelt ………………………………………………………………………………………. Bueno, ya sabéis que no creo en casualidades, así que hayamos coincidido los tres en un dia 22 a las 22 horas me indica una sincronización muy importante en nuestros caminos ya que este numero está cargado de una energía especial ligada a la construcción, el poder y el cumplimiento de metas. Ya sabéis que una de las cosas sobre las que hablo es la numerologia, lo hice en mi primer libro sobre Blasco Ibáñez, explicando un poco como en numerología están los números básicos que van del 1 hasta el 9 y luego números especiales que no se pueden reducir a una sola cifra, números llamados “maestros” como el 11, 22, 33. El número maestro 33 combina los poderes más competentes de expresión y realización (la del número 3) con el maestro y el tutor por excelencia, el 6. El rosario islámico tiene 33 cuentas. En la mitología hindú el 33 expresa perfección. Una de las cifras preferidas de todo masón que se precie y que desea lucir dentro de su estrella de seis puntas. Su verdadera esencia constituye la última etapa en la evolución espiritual, el Maestro de maestros. El 33 es el número maestro que en su perfección no se puede transformar en un 6. Tenemos un 6 infértil, un 6 egoista, un 6 que no es humano sino inhumano, del demonio del ego. Para el que no lo sepa este número representa la edad de la Maestría en la Iniciación de Jesús (su muerte, resurrección y ascensión), aparte de otros detalles esotéricos. El "33" simboliza el grado alto de consciencia espiritual por parte del ser humano”. Ese 33 representa plenamente a Blasco Ibáñez, en su maestría, en su autoidolatria, en su soberbia que lo impulsaba a ganar más y más dinero. Cuando hablamos de masones, y Blasco lo era, el 33 es el número de los maestros iniciados, el más alto grado dentro de la masonería. Y para ellos son muy importantes las columnas del templo. En la numerología caldea, cada letra del alfabeto porta un valor numérico que revela significados profundos y conexiones místicas. Las palabras Jachim y Boaz, nombres de las emblemáticas columnas del Templo de Salomón, encarnan un simbolismo poderoso ya que si sumamos el valor de cada una de sus letras nos dará el número 33, considerado un número maestro en diversas tradiciones espirituales como he dicho antes. Pero es que tenemos también el 11, ya que cada columna podría ser representada por un uno de forma individual. Curiosamente en la biblia, en Reyes 7 se describe la construcción del templo y termina hablando de ellas en el verso 22. Siendo estos los versos 21 y 22: «Estas columnas erigió en el pórtico del templo; y cuando hubo alzado la columna del lado derecho, le puso por nombre Jaquín, y alzando la columna del lado izquierdo, llamó su nombre Boaz. Y puso en las cabezas de las columnas tallado en forma de lirios, y así se acabó la obra de las columnas.» Jachim, que representa la fuerza, la estabilidad y el principio activo, y Boaz, que simboliza la sabiduría, la receptividad y el equilibrio, se alzan como guardianas del equilibrio cósmico en el umbral del templo. Que ambas palabras converjan en el valor 33 no es casualidad: este número, asociado con la maestría espiritual, la compasión y la elevación de la conciencia, refleja la unión armónica de lo divino y lo terrenal. Así, Jachim y Boaz no solo custodian la entrada al espacio sagrado, sino que invitan a quienes las contemplan a integrar la dualidad en un camino hacia la iluminación, resonando con la vibración de la perfección espiritual que encarnan el 11, el 22 y el 33. Pero vamos a dejarnos de zarandajas y descorrer de par en par el velo que guardan estas dos columnas. ¿Por dónde empezamos? ………………………………………………………………………………………. Del 11 y del 33 se ha hablado mucho, pero a menudo dejamos en segundo plano al segundo número maestro por excelencia: el 22. Este número no solo posee una vibración poderosa, sino que también está profundamente enraizado en múltiples tradiciones espirituales y sistemas esotéricos. El 22 guarda una conexión simbólica con los 22 Arcanos Mayores del Tarot, que representan el viaje del alma hacia la conciencia plena, así como con las 22 letras del alfabeto hebreo, fundamentales en la Cábala. Esta antigua tradición mística asocia el número con los 22 senderos que conectan los diez sefirot del Árbol de la Vida, canales por los que fluye la energía divina y que reflejan etapas del crecimiento espiritual y humano. En la Biblia, este número aparece implícitamente a través del simbolismo de las 22 letras hebreas, mientras que en el hinduismo, se relaciona con las 22 consonantes fundamentales del sánscrito, cada una portadora de resonancias sagradas utilizadas en mantras y rituales. Asimismo, en la cultura china y el feng shui, el 22 se considera un número auspicioso que representa doble bendición, éxito, y una profunda armonía entre el cielo y la tierra. Numerológicamente, el 22 es conocido como el "Maestro Constructor", ya que combina la intuición y sensibilidad del número 2 con la fuerza práctica y estructuradora del número 4 (2 + 2 = 4). El 2 es la pareja, la dualidad y el cuatro es la casa donde esta pareja criara a sus hijos. Esta dualidad le permite convertir sueños elevados en realidades tangibles, construyendo sobre cimientos sólidos. Es un número que conjuga la visión con la acción, la espiritualidad con la materia, lo abstracto con lo concreto. Quienes vibran con el 22 poseen un potencial excepcional para planificar, liderar y materializar proyectos de gran escala que tienen un impacto positivo y duradero en la sociedad. Son visionarios pragmáticos, dotados de una capacidad singular para traducir ideales en estructuras estables, ya sea en el ámbito social, político, artístico o espiritual. Sin embargo, esta energía también conlleva un reto: el peso de su propio potencial. La presión por alcanzar metas elevadas puede generar bloqueos, inseguridad o una tendencia al perfeccionismo paralizante. Por ello, el 22 exige madurez emocional, firmeza interior y una fuerte conexión con un propósito superior. Solo así puede desplegar toda su fuerza constructiva sin caer en la dispersión. En su expresión más elevada, el número 22 representa la sabiduría aplicada, el servicio desinteresado y la construcción de un legado que trasciende al individuo. Es un puente entre lo divino y lo humano, entre la idea y la forma. Un número reservado para aquellos llamados a dejar una huella profunda en el mundo, no solo con sus acciones, sino también con su visión de futuro. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Os voy a leer 22 axiomas alquímicos que dan mucho que pensar: 1.Nada resiste a la voluntad del hombre cuando conoce la verdad y quiere el bien. 2.Querer el mal es querer la muerte. Una voluntad perversa es el comienzo del suicidio. 3.Querer el bien con violencia es querer el mal; pues la violencia produce el desorden y el desorden el mal. 4.Se puede y se debe aceptar el mal como medio del bien; pero es necesario ni quererlo ni hacerlo, de otro modo se destruiría con una mano lo que se edificaba con la otra. La buena fe no justifica nunca los malos medios; ella los corrige cuando los sufre y los condena cuando los toma. 5.Para tener derecho de poseer siempre es necesario querer pacientemente y por largo tiempo. 6.Pasar su vida queriendo lo que es imposible de poseer siempre es abdicar la vida y aceptar la eternidad de la muerte. 7.Cuanto más la voluntad salta obstáculos más fuerte resulta. Por eso Cristo glorificó la pobreza y el dolor. 8.Cuando la voluntad se dedica al absurdo, queda reprobada por la eterna razón. 9.La voluntad del hombre justo es la voluntad de Dios mismo y es la ley de la Naturaleza. 10.Por la voluntad la inteligencia ve. Si la voluntad es sana, la vida es justa. Dios ha dicho: «Que la luz sea», y la luz es. La voluntad dice: «Que el mundo sea como yo quiero verlo», y la inteligencia lo ve como la voluntad ha querido. Es lo que significa la palabra “Así sea”, que confirma los actos de fe. 11.Cuando se forman fantasmas, se llena el mundo de vampiros; precisa alimentar esas puerilidades con pesadillas voluntarias en las que intervienen la sangre, la vida, la inteligencia y la razón sin saciarlas jamás. 12.Afirmar y querer lo que debe ser, es crear; afirmar y querer lo que no debe ser, es destruir. 13.La luz es un fuego eléctrico puesto por la naturaleza al servicio de la voluntad; ilumina a los que saben emplearla, quema a los que abusan de ella. 14.El imperio del mundo es el imperio de la luz. 15.Las grandes inteligencias cuya voluntad no se equilibra bien, se parecen a los cometas, que son soles abortados. 16.No hacer nada es tan funesto como hacer mal; pero es más cobarde. El más imperdonable de los pecados mortales es la inercia. 17.Sufrir es trabajar. Un gran dolor sufrido es un progreso realizado. Los que sufren mucho viven más que los que no sufren. 18.La muerte voluntaria por abnegación no es un suicidio; es la apoteosis de la voluntad. 19.El miedo es solo una pereza de la voluntad y por ello la opinión difama a los cobardes. 20.Llegad a no temer al león y el león os temerá. Decid al dolor: quiero que seas un placer y llegará a ser, no solo un placer, sino hasta más que un placer, una dicha. 21.Una cadena de hierro es más fácil de quebrar que una cadena de flores. 22.Antes de clasificar a un hombre como feliz o desgraciado, sabed que es lo que ha hecho con la dirección de su voluntad. ¿Sabéis quién escribió estos 22 principios? Pues nada más y nada menos que el ocultista francés Alphonse Louis Constant, más conocido como Eliphas Levi (1810-1875), sí, el del baphomet. Este escribió su famoso libro, en realidad son dos, Dogma y ritual de la Alta Magia y lo estructuró en 22 capítulos, paralelos a las cartas de Tarot, y que además de sus hechizos, talismanes, amuletos e invocaciones, contiene una serie de conocimientos arcanos y estas 22 proposiciones para mejorar como seres humanos. Me he leido entero dogma y muy poco el denominado ritual, aunque os digo que contienen mucha información respecto de la magia blanca y la magia negra, pactos con el demonio, nigromancia, y los peligros de introducirse en estos ámbitos sin los conocimientos adecuados. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Y como hago a veces, hoy nos vamos a despedir el programa con algunas citas, por supuesto de nuestros dos invitados. Empezamos con Váitovek y esta demoledora y potencialmente problemática cita sobre uno de los tabúes de nuestro tiempo, los judíos: «El judaísmo bíblico es supremacismo racista absoluto. Su deidad tiene como objetivo EXPRESO para su pueblo el saqueo, esclavización y exterminio final de todas las naciones, ie, de TODO EL MUNDO. Ergo es con mucho la ideología más criminal, execrable y deforme de la historia.» Le toca el turno a Manuel Valera, casi mi tocayo por parte de apellido, que lleva deleitándonos con su Nautilus desde 2015, que a modo de cuaderno de bitácora nos cuenta todos los días lo que siente un escritor de la mejor forma que sabe hacer, escribir: «La risa deshace el miedo, provoca que se tambaleen los cimientos del poder y libera a los presos del terror. Con cada carcajada se escucha el sonido de las cadenas que caen y el estruendo de los muros de las prisiones mentales, deshechos. Por eso al que manda le viene mal que la gente ría libremente.» No tengan miedo y cuiden de sus familias, esa es mi cita recurrente para despedir estos Spaces…hoy, además, les dejo con una de Carl Jung, psiquiatra y psicoanalista suizo, fundador de la psicología analítica, simplemente para hacerles pensar: «Ningún árbol puede crecer hasta el cielo a menos que sus raíces lleguen al infierno.» ……………………………………………………………………………………….

Episode DescriptionIn this electrifying episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Chris Schembra sits down with transformational speaker, coach, and author Juan Bendana, whose new book Confident by Choice is poised to reshape how we think about courage, action, and self-belief.This conversation dives deep into a liberating truth: confidence isn't a fixed trait—it's a daily decision. Together, Chris and Juan unpack the Confidence Cycle, a four-part science-backed framework (Micro Energy → Micro Courage → Micro Action → Micro Proof) designed to help everyday people break through fear and build an inspired life—one step at a time.But this episode is more than a framework. It's a heart-to-heart about mentorship, identity, failure, and the beauty of baby steps. Juan opens up about battling binge eating, hitting rock bottom, and how a good friend's invitation to California helped him reset his entire life. From the weight of imposter syndrome to the surprising science behind confidence and Olympic achievement, Juan reminds us that we are all capable of change—especially when we stop trying to get it perfect and start moving with purpose.If you've ever felt stuck, scared, or unsure where to begin, this episode is your signal to start. Listen in, take a breath, borrow some belief, and get ready to build the life you know is waiting for you. 10 Quotes from the Episode:“Confidence is not the absence of self-doubt. It's the willingness to act anyway.” – Juan Bendana “The way out is through. And the way through is trust.” – Chris Schembra “Confident people spend more time with self-doubt than less confident people. They just have a better relationship with it.” – Juan Bendana “When something bad happens, most people ask, ‘What's wrong with me?' Confident people ask, ‘What do I do next?'” – Juan Bendana “Energy is the spark. Courage is the ignition. Action is the engine. Proof is the fuel.” – Chris Schembra “You can borrow someone else's confidence. Just try on their life like it's a fresh pair of Jordans.” – Juan Bendana “You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.” – Eleanor Roosevelt (quoted by Juan) “The people in your life need you more than you think. Build your confidence, then give it away.” – Juan Bendana “Olympians aren't born more confident. They just commit to small steps over time.” – Chris Schembra “I'm not there… yet. That single word creates space for growth, grace, and transformation.” – Juan Bendana 10 Key Takeaways:Confidence is a process, not a personality trait. It's something we build through micro decisions, not something we're born with or without. Micro Energy is the foundation. Whether it's rest, excitement, curiosity, or joy—building momentum starts with finding even the smallest spark. Micro Courage means choosing discomfort on purpose. Confidence grows when we lean into fear, not when we avoid it. Micro Action is where transformation begins. Even walking to the gym without going inside can be a powerful first step. Micro Proof is confidence in motion. Success and failure both offer evidence that we're capable of growth. You don't have to do it alone. Mentorship, community, and borrowed belief are part of the journey. Failure builds confidence when it's reframed. Trying and failing proves you had the courage to show up, and that's enough. Imposter syndrome is a sign of growth. It shows you're operating at your edge, where confidence can be forged. Language matters. Swapping “I can't” for “I can't… yet” changes fixed mindsets into growth mindsets. Confidence creates identity shifts. When you accumulate enough proof, you don't just act differently—you become someone new. Suggested Follow-Up Actions for Listeners:Pre-order Juan's book Confident by Choice (link in show notes)—and send it to someone who needs a boost of belief. Do one micro action today toward a goal you've been putting off—send the email, take the walk, make the ask. Reflect and journal: Where in your life are you telling yourself "I'm not enough"? Rewrite that story with "...yet." Send a voice note to a friend or team member with words of confidence. “You're amazing. I'm glad you're here.” Reach out to Juan on LinkedIn and say “You're welcome”—as a callback to the moment he thanked all the strivers listening. Episode Links:
I vividly remember the day after Christmas 2022. Not because I was relaxing, but because I was at my laptop, updating my university courses and diving headfirst into AI tools for my business and podcast. ChatGPT had just launched, and I knew instantly: this was different. This wasn't just another tech trend; this was a transformation. In this episode, I share the talk I recently delivered at the ElleX Summit, where I wove together history, technology, and the urgent need for women's voices in AI. From Ada Lovelace and the women of NASA to Eleanor Roosevelt and the Brontë sisters, women have always shown up when new technologies emerged that gave them a voice and a platform. And now, it's our moment again. You'll hear: Why AI isn't just a tool - it's a force shaping how we work, teach, govern, and live Shocking examples of gender bias baked into AI systems Why your perspective, leadership, and storytelling are essential in this new era How I'm using AI to save time on the computer, so I can do more of the work that makes me feel human AI can either reinforce the past or help us create a more inclusive future. It's up to us to choose. Let's make sure future generations find plenty of women in the history books of this AI era.

Folklorist John A. Lomax found this song in 1909 when he made his first field trip to the Brazos area of Texas for Harvard University.“I found Dink scrubbing her man's clothes in the shade of their tent across the Brazos River from the A. & M. College,” Lomax wrote when he and his son Alan published the song 25 years later in their seminal 1934 work, American Ballads and Folk Songs.Harvest Professor James C. Nagle had been the supervising engineer of a levee-building company during that first trip, and he invited the senior Lomax to come along and bring his new Edison recording machine.Among the levee workers who had traveled from Mississippi to work on the Brazos, Lomax found one who pointed out Dink, saying she “knows all the songs.”But Dink was uninterested in helping — “'Today ain't my singin' day,” she said — until “I walked a mile to a farm commissary,” Lomax wrote, “and bought her a pint of gin. As she drank the gin, the sounds from her scrubbing board increased in intensity and in volume. She worked as she talked.”“That little boy there ain't got no daddy an' he ain't got no name,” Dink told Lomax. “I comes from Mississippi and I brung along my little boy. My man drives a four-wheel scraper down there where you see the dust risin'. I keeps his tent, cooks his vittles and washes his clothes. Some day I gonna wrap up his wet breeches and shirts, roll 'em up in a knot, put 'em in the middle of the bed and tuck down the covers right nice. Then I'm going on up the river where I belong.”The TuneLomax's original record of “Dink's Song” — which the storyteller eventually sang for him — got broken long ago, but not before John, Alan and others in the Lomax family all learned the words and melody.Poet Carl Sandburg, who included the song in his New American Songbag in 1950, compared Dink's lyrics to the best fragments from the Greek poetess Sappho. “As you might expect,” Lomax commented, “Carl prefers Dink to Sappho.”The elder Lomax lost track of Dink after his 1909 field trip. "When I went to find her in Yazoo, Mississippi, some years later,” he wrote, “her women friends, pointing to a nearby graveyard, told me, ‘Dink's done planted up there.' I could find no trace of her little son.”The first commercial recording of “Dink's Song” came eight years after the Lomaxes published it in their songbook, when Libby Holman waxed it as “Fare Thee Well” in a recording with Josh White for Decca Records.Oh? You say you don't know who Libby Holman was? Oh boy, do we have a story for you!Libby's LifeA Cincinnati-born actress and singer — her career began as a torch singer on Broadway in the 1920s and ‘30s — Libby Holman was a controversial figure, known for her turbulent personal life as well as for her activism, which included unstinting support for civil rights.When she was in her late 20s, Holman was at the center of a highly publicized case surrounding the death of her first husband. Zachary Smith Reynolds, heir to the R.J. Reynolds tobacco fortune, who died of a gunshot wound at their estate in 1932. Initially, Libby was accused of murder, but the charges eventually were dropped. The coroner ruled Smith's death a suicide. For her part, Holman said she couldn't remember exactly what happened, telling a friend, “I was so drunk last night I don't know whether I shot him or not.”RelationshipsHolman was known for her intimate affairs with both men and women, including a significant relationship with DuPont heiress Louisa d'Andelot Carpenter. The tabloids of the day had a ball with Libby's openness about her bisexuality.Folk/blues artist Josh White also has a significant professional and personal connection with Holman. In the 1940s they became the first mixed-race male and female artists to perform together, to record together and to tour throughout the United States.Together they challenged segregationist policies in the entertainment industry, breaking down racial barriers in many previously segregated venues. During World War II, the two tried to organize performances for servicemen, but they were rejected due to the prevailing segregation in the U.S. Armed Forces, despite a recommendation from Eleanor Roosevelt.As “Fare Thee Well,” “Dink's Song” was among a half dozen songs Holman and White recorded for Decca in 1942. Three years later, White recorded the tune again on his first solo album, Songs by Josh White, for Asch Records, a predecessor of Folkways. He recorded it at least once more later in his career, on the 1957 Mercury album called Josh White's Blues.Our Take on the TuneIn the Floodisphere, Randy Hamilton has reinvented this century-old tune into something as fresh and sweet as a summer breeze.And if listening to it has you hankering for more music from Randy, just swing on by the free Radio Floodango music streaming service and tune in the Randy Channel.

Send us a textEver wondered what separates those who merely survive trauma from those who transform it into a force for change? Carolyn Moore, founder of Modern Widows Club, returns to the podcast to introduce us to the concept of the "super survivor" – individuals who don't just overcome personal tragedy but return to create support systems for others walking similar paths.Drawing from the groundbreaking research of Dr. Stephen Southwick (whose book "Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life's Greatest Challenges" enters its third edition this September), Carolyn shares her personal journey from struggling widow to recognized change agent. The transformation wasn't immediate or easy. Initially motivated simply by providing basic needs for her young daughters, Carolyn gradually discovered the profound impact widowhood had on every aspect of her life – physically, emotionally, financially, and spiritually. Her turning point came during an appearance on Oprah, when she was described as "a hero who didn't know it," prompting her to ask: what if I became the hero of my own story?What makes Carolyn's work through Modern Widows Club so powerful is how it addresses the exact components of resilience she once lacked – role models who had navigated similar losses and spaces where widows can both give and receive support. The four-stage journey she describes (choosing life, reaching out, getting moving, and giving back) serves as a roadmap for anyone navigating grief. Her latest project, "Legendary Widows: Stories of Legacy," highlights twelve extraordinary women including Coretta Scott King and Eleanor Roosevelt, showcasing their remarkable accomplishments after losing their spouses – contributions that often go unrecognized in historical narratives.Whether you're personally navigating loss or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers profound insights into how trauma can become a catalyst for positive change. As Carolyn reminds us, "A formidable woman is a terrible thing to waste," and recognizing someone as a super survivor might be the most powerful gift you can give them. The journey from surviving to thriving begins with understanding that resilience isn't just about enduring – it's about taking responsibility for writing the next chapter of your story.Support the showDid you know you can now Help Us Continue Making Awesome Content for Listeners Affected by Grief!Thanks for listening!

Send us a textThere is a richness to the new children's book, Like That Eleanor: The Amazing Power of Being an Ally by writer Lee Wind and illustrator Kelly Mangan, that affords a caregiver and a child myriad opportunities for discussion, exploration, and, ultimately, connection. It weaves history lessons with contemporary, school scenarios that young children will recognize in a way that entertains while modeling skills that young children need. I think Lee and Kelly have created something special, and I was excited to talk to both of them about their process and what they want kids and adults to take away from this book.

Aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart became the first woman to cross the Atlantic by air on June 18th, 1928… but on this occasion didn't actually fly the plane; she was a passenger aboard the Friendship, a three-engine seaplane piloted by Wilmer Stultz and co-piloted by Louis Gordon. Originally, a wealthy heiress was meant to take the flight, but her family vetoed it as too dangerous. So Earhart, smart, skilled, and camera-ready, was chosen to be “Lady Lindy”, and that one journey launched her into the stratosphere of fame. She wrote a book, became a Cosmopolitan editor, endorsed everything from cigarettes to watches, and even launched her own fashion line. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly revisit Earhart's iconic joyrides, including the one alongside Eleanor Roosevelt; consider the impact of her work to elevate women pilots, given that 95% of pilots are still men; and speculate about one of aviation's greatest mysteries: what happened to her plane on the day she went missing?

www.commsolutionsmn.com-The news is starting to come out about how ill Joe Biden was as president. The whole world could see it, even though the media was denying it. Jake Tapper might have released a book now, but where was he while Biden was still in office? We just found out that Joe Biden has prostate cancer and that it has metastacized to the bone. With as bad as it's been, he most likely had cancer for quite a while. So this begs the question: what did the people around him know and when did he know it? This isn't the first time that this has happened. Just like Jill Biden, Edith Wilson and Eleanor Roosevelt kept their husbands' medical states hidden from Congress... and America. So who was more at fault- the First Lady, his advisors, or was everyone so busy trying to stay in power that they all hid the truth from us? No one is supposed to wield the President's power except the President of the United States. Who was running our country? We need answers and people need to go to prison. Use the 25th Amendment, if it's warranted, but you can't hide behind a weakened president and use the power for yourself.
Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Wisdom of Wives: What Women Have Taught Me About Life May 29, 2025 | Episode 5104 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description In this episode, I discuss the valuable lessons I've learned from the women in my life—my wives, moms, daughters, and other influential women. I share wisdom from historical figures like Abigail Adams and Eleanor Roosevelt, exploring how women have shaped my perspective on life, relationships, and personal growth. From the “look” that every married man knows about the constructive power of silence, I reflect on how women's wisdom has guided me through nearly two decades of podcasting and life itself. Featured Story Scott reflects on his relationships with the important women in his life, sharing personal insights about marriage, wisdom, and the complementary roles that men and women play together. He weaves personal anecdotes with historical quotes from first ladies and influential women, creating a tribute to the feminine wisdom that has shaped his journey over 19 years of podcasting. Important Points Women possess a unique wisdom that often guides and “tames” the men in their lives, creating balance in relationships. True strength is revealed when women face challenging situations - they rise to the occasion with remarkable resilience. Marriage is an active verb, not a passive noun. It requires daily effort and intentional love to make it work. Memorable Quotes “Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure.” “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” “Marriage is not a noun. It's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do.” Scott's Three-Step Approach Pay attention to the wisdom of the women around you and actively listen to their insights. Recognize that men and women are different but complementary, bringing unique strengths to relationships. Apply the lessons learned from feminine wisdom to become a better partner, father, and human being. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

HOUSE-CALLING ON DR. WIN THE WAR: 2/4: Mr. Churchill in the White House: The Untold Story of a Prime Minister and Two Presidents by Robert Schmuhl (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Churchill-White-House-Presidents/dp/1324093420 Well into the twenty-first century, Winston Churchill continues to be the subject of scores of books. Biographers portray him as a soldier, statesman, writer, painter, and even a daredevil, but Robert Schmuhl, the noted author and journalist, may be the first to depict him as a demanding, indeed exhausting White House guest. For the British prime minister, America's most famous residence was “the summit of the United States,” and staying weeks on end with the president as host enhanced his global influence and prestige, yet what makes Churchill's sojourns so remarkable are their duration at critical moments in twentieth-century history. From his first visit in 1941 to his last one eighteen years later, Churchill made himself at home in the White House, seeking to disprove Benjamin Franklin's adage that guests, like fish, smell after three days. When obliged to be attired, Churchill shuffled about in velvet slippers and a tailored-for-air-raids “siren suit,” resembling a romper. In retrospect, these extended stays at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue take on a new level of diplomatic and military significance. Just imagine, for example, Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky spending weeks at America's most powerful address, discussing war strategy and access to weaponry, as Churchill did during the 1940s. Drawing on years of research, Schmuhl not only contextualizes the unprecedented time Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt spent together between 1941 and 1945, but he also depicts the individual figures involved: from Churchill himself to “General Ike,” as he affectionately called Dwight D. Eisenhower, to Harry Truman, and not to mention the formidable Eleanor Roosevelt, who resented Churchill's presence in the White House and wanted him to occupy the nearby Blair House instead (which, predictably, he did not do) JANUARY 1942 WHITE HOUSE

The Will To Change: Uncovering True Stories of Diversity & Inclusion
In this episode, Jennifer is joined by author Sarah Miller as they explore the deeply intimate and complex relationship between journalist Lorena “Hick” Hickok and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Drawing from Sarah's extensive research and thousands of personal letters, they discuss how love, identity, and intimacy were expressed—and often obscured—before the language of modern queer identity existed. Together, they reflect on how this relationship redefines historical narratives, challenges binary thinking, and uplifts queer voices too often overlooked. This episode offers a powerful reminder to younger generations that they have always existed, and that queer love, in all its forms, has always found a way.

幸福感是一种体验,是我们生活中无数种体验中的一种。童话总是会告诉我们,最后公主和王子live happily ever after。似乎只有经历过艰辛的努力,最终才会有获得幸福的权利。然而事实真的是这样吗?撰写童话的人,也只是在借童话故事表达自己对于生命体验的感悟而已。真正的幸福感,应该有我们自己来定义。现代心理学研究揭开了一个关于幸福感的真相:持续记录"微小时刻"的人,幸福感比设定宏大目标者高出37%。那位每天给阳台绿植唱歌的老园丁,地铁上用素描本捕捉路人微笑的少女,深夜为流浪猫放置温水的外卖员...他们幸福感的是瞬间并不是经过"努力争取"的仪式,却像野草般在专注生活的缝隙中自然生长。而心理学中的"心流"理论早已揭示:当人们全神贯注专注于当下的体验时,幸福感早已像藤蔓般悄然爬满这段不被时间定义的时光。学习英语,也是如此。让我们忘我的投入到每一次的学习中吧!体会声音中的每一个音符的跳动,每一个生命的独一无二。那份幸福感,与外在世界的定义毫不相干。但却深深滋养着每一个想要不断向上成长的灵魂。安娜·埃莉诺·罗斯福(Anna Eleanor Roosevelt,1884年10月11日-1962年11月7日),美国第32任总统富兰克林·罗斯福的妻子,她是美国著名的政治家、社会活动家、外交家和作家。曾为美国第一夫人,罗斯福总统在任12年,她做了12年的“第一夫人”,创了美国历史之最。New Words:by-product [ˈbaɪ prɒdʌkt] n. 副产品;附带产生的结果The factory produces some useful by-products.这家工厂生产一些有用的副产品。well-lived [ˈwel ˈlɪvd] adj. 过得充实的;A well-lived life is not just about material possessions.善度的生活不仅仅关乎物质财富。Quote to learn for todayHappiness is not a goal...it's a by-product of a life well lived.——Eleanor Roosevelt翻译幸福不是目标…… 它是善度此生的副产品。—— 埃莉诺・罗斯福语法结构分析“well lived” 是过去分词短语作后置定语修饰 “life”。更多卡卡老师分享公众号:卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信:kakayingyu001送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包,帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路

Adlai Stevenson famously eulogized Eleanor Roosevelt, saying, 'She would rather light a candle than curse the darkness.' When today's guest, Sherri, first heard this quote, she knew that she wanted it to apply to her life as well. Sherri's youngest daughter, Conni, battled through addiction and mental illness for 10 years. Sherri stayed by her side for all of that time, supporting her through the good years as well as the bad. She attended 12-step meetings with Conni and learned about addiction during Conni's low moments and celebrated with her when it seemed she was beating the addiction at last. She learned to love and support Conni while hating her addiction. Months after Conni died by intentional drug overdose, Sherri thought of that famous quote. She had a decision to make - 'I can curse the darkness or I can light a candle.' It would be so easy to want to curse the ugliness of the world when watching a loved one battle addiction. It would be easy to simply sit in darkness after your child dies by suicide. However, Sherri did not make the easy choice. She made the heroic choice to light a candle instead. Sherri realized that her journey with Connie taught her three valuable lessons. Firstly, Sherri has far more compassion for others in pain. Secondly, she is far less judgmental of others and their actions. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, Sherri is not afraid of ugly. She has lived through the ugliest of the ugly and is still breathing. Sherri knew that she could demonstrate to others that they can do the same. She started posting on Instagram as @itsalifeunexpected to show that it is possible to love and support people through addiction without losing yourself in the process. You see, Sherri knew that she was not going to be the last mom to watch their child battle addiction. She would not be the last mom whose child took their own life. Sherri also knew she wanted to be a light to those who would come after her. She wanted to hold a candle for them and work to light hundreds more along the path so they would not feel quite so lost and alone.
It's the trifecta of listener-favorite subjects: an American First Lady, World War II, and a secret adventure. Shannon McKenna Schmidt joins us to share about her new book, The First Lady of World War II:, which chronicles Eleanor Roosevelt's journey to the Pacific theater during wartime. The five-week trip took her through the South Pacific, and began as a secret when she hitched a ride on a transport airplane next to sacks of mail. Tune in to hear what happened when she touched down in Australia.

MANDATE FOR THE UNELECTED NEW DEALERS, 1936: 3/8: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal by David Pietrusza (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Roosevelt-Sweeps-Nation-Landslide-Triumph/dp/1635767776 Award-winning historian David Pietrusza boldly steers clear of the pat narrative regarding Franklin Roosevelt's unprecedented 1936 re-election landslide, weaving an enormously more intricate, ever more surprising tale of a polarized nation; of America's most complex, calculating, and politically successful president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, at the very top of his Machiavellian game; and the unlocking of the puzzle of how our society, our politics, and our parties fitfully reinvented themselves. With in-depth examinations of rabble-rousing Democratic US Senator Huey Long and his assassination before he was able to challenge FDR in '36; powerful, but widely hated, newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst, who blasted FDR's “Raw Deal”; wildly popular, radical radio commentator Father Coughlin; the steamrolled passage of Social Security and backlash against it; the era's racism and anti-Semitism; American Socialism and Communism; and a Supreme Court seemingly bent on dismantling the New Deal altogether, Roosevelt Sweeps Nation is a vivid portrait of a dynamic Depression-Era America. 1936 ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
2/4: Mr. Churchill in the White House: The Untold Story of a Prime Minister and Two Presidents by Robert Schmuhl (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Churchill-White-House-Presidents/dp/1324093420 Well into the twenty-first century, Winston Churchill continues to be the subject of scores of books. Biographers portray him as a soldier, statesman, writer, painter, and even a daredevil, but Robert Schmuhl, the noted author and journalist, may be the first to depict him as a demanding, indeed exhausting White House guest. For the British prime minister, America's most famous residence was “the summit of the United States,” and staying weeks on end with the president as host enhanced his global influence and prestige, yet what makes Churchill's sojourns so remarkable are their duration at critical moments in twentieth-century history. From his first visit in 1941 to his last one eighteen years later, Churchill made himself at home in the White House, seeking to disprove Benjamin Franklin's adage that guests, like fish, smell after three days. When obliged to be attired, Churchill shuffled about in velvet slippers and a tailored-for-air-raids “siren suit,” resembling a romper. In retrospect, these extended stays at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue take on a new level of diplomatic and military significance. Just imagine, for example, Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky spending weeks at America's most powerful address, discussing war strategy and access to weaponry, as Churchill did during the 1940s. Drawing on years of research, Schmuhl not only contextualizes the unprecedented time Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt spent together between 1941 and 1945, but he also depicts the individual figures involved: from Churchill himself to “General Ike,” as he affectionately called Dwight D. Eisenhower, to Harry Truman, and not to mention the formidable Eleanor Roosevelt, who resented Churchill's presence in the White House and wanted him to occupy the nearby Blair House instead (which, predictably, he did not do) 1943 FDR Churchill Casablanca Conference
