The Falklands and the Wreck Eric J. Dolan Left for Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World The American sealers sought valuable fur seals and elephant seal blubber in the Falkland Islands, a harsh, virtually uninhabited region characterized by constant high winds averaging 18 mph and cold temperatures averaging 49°F in summer. The treeless landscape features tusk grass, which grows up to nine feet tall and yields peat useful for making fires. While the Nanina hunted seals, the Australian transport ship Isabella wrecked on Eagle Island due to Captain George Hickton's ineptitude and drinking. The 54 survivors, including Marines and pardoned convicts, made it ashore, though many were inebriated and convinced they would perish in this desolate location. 1849 FALKLANDS

It's Friday morning which means Joe Ostrowski and Sam Panayotovich are discussing their Friday Feels, hitting on the one major elephant in the room.

We explore how avoidance, disguised as politeness, slowly erodes trust — and how courageous conversations can actually strengthen relationships and performance. Katherine breaks down what “calling out the elephant” looks like in practice: reading the emotional landscape, choosing timing over impulse, and speaking truth without weaponizing it.From emotional intelligence to communication frameworks, we examine how leaders can replace fear with curiosity — and transform tension into alignment.TL;DR* Avoidance kills trust faster than conflict ever will.* Clarity + compassion = productive honesty.* Name the issue early — silence grows resentment.* True kindness includes telling the truth.* Courageous dialogue builds stronger, safer teams.Memorable lines* “Kindness without honesty is just avoidance in disguise.”* “The longer you avoid the elephant, the bigger it gets.”* “When you name what's real, people finally exhale.”* “Courage isn't about comfort — it's about connection.”Guest: Katherine Lazaruk — Founder, LZRK Consulting | Executive Coach & Keynote Speaker LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katherinelazaruk/ Website: https://lzrkconsulting.com/Why it mattersEvery organization has its unspoken truths — unaddressed conflicts, performance gaps, or cultural tension. Leaders who learn to name those realities, with empathy and clarity, create workplaces where honesty isn't feared but valued. The courage to speak the unsaid is what separates management from leadership.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

On this week's episode of Fearless we're returning to our “Elephant in the Room” series, this time tackling a topic almost no one talks about: generational sin. I didn't want to talk about this today either, but after a season where both public and private sins seemed to be everywhere we looked, I felt led to address it here. We talk about how all sin starts out small, but if we're not careful to guard our hearts it will inevitably grow into something we maybe didn't plan, but definitely can no longer control. Sin is also not just a private issue—remember the Coldplay concert couple we all saw cheating on their spouses this summer?—sin affects every area of our lives, including our most important relationships. If left unconfessed and unchecked, sin has the power to be passed down to our kids, our kids' kids, and all the way down the line. Generational sin is a real thing, and it's something we as the church need to be addressing. But even though this topic is on the heavier side, we're not without hope when it comes to combatting the sin in our lives. We have the power, through Christ living within us, to stop sin in its tracks and prevent it from affecting the generations to come. If you're needing a healthy dose of conviction today, you'll find it here, but we'll also leave you with the encouragement, next steps, and practical tools needed to stop sin from becoming a generational problem before it starts. 

In this episode, we examine new polling on tax policy and the debate over taxing the rich, analyzing how effective tax rates and government spending affect deficit reduction. We discuss a breakthrough in medical innovation that has helped restore sight to patients with macular degeneration, and highlight the growing problem of political crassness in this week's foolishness. We address a listener question on state pension reform and the inefficiencies of public bureaucracy, and explore how economic incentives influence behavior in areas such as conservation, resource management, and everyday decision-making. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:25 Taxing the Rich to Reduce Federal Debt 09:06 The Problem with Corporate Taxes 11:22 The Only Solution to the Spending Problem 12:33 A Cure for Blindness 15:25 Karoline Leavitt's “Your Mom” Joke 18:03 Trump's No Kings Protest AI Video 19:57 Municipal Workers Held Captive by State Pension Systems 23:16 Perverse Incentives Sustain Bureaucratic Systems 29:33 The Human Drive to Utilize vs. Cultivate Resources 35:38 The Consequences and Dangers of Internet Dependence 38:57 The Fragility of Internet Infrastructure 41:20 Conclusion Learn more about your ad choices.

Can AI help us better understand animals and, if it could, what might we discover? This week's episode was recorded live at the 2025 Masters of Scale Summit where Reid and Aria sat down with Aza Raskin, co-founder and CEO of the Earth Species Project. Aza and his team are using AI to decode the languages and cultures of non-human species. From dolphins that invent new tricks together to crows that raise each other's young in communal “villages,” Aza reveals the startling complexity of animal communication and what it teaches us about our own. During the course of their conversation, Reid, Aria and Aza explore why recognizing the intelligence of the animal kingdom might spark a new Copernican Revolution, one that changes not just science, but who we believe ourselves as a species to be. It's a thought provoking journey through language, empathy, and the limits of human perspective that will make you listen to the natural world a little differently.

Most of all, it asks: what if, in the future, everything breaks humanity's way? Tune in for grounded and speculative takes on how technology—and, in particular, AI—is inspiring change and transforming the future. Hosted by Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger, each episode features an interview with an ambitious builder or deep thinker on a topic, from art to geopolitics and from healthcare to education. These conversations also showcase another kind of guest: AI. Each episode seeks to enhance and advance our discussion about what humanity could possibly get right if we leverage technology—and our collective effort—effectively.

Waylon speaks with the Elephant community about a Buddhist teaching that will always bring you back to the truth, especially when things  are at their hardest and it feels like the world is going to crap. Lean on this notion. “Impermanence is a teaching that reminds us that when we can't find any ground, when there's chaos…that's actually good news because we're living in the truth that there is no solidity. That who we are doesn't really stop with who you are and doesn't really stop with this tree over here or with the sky above. Impermanence actually makes us an environmentalist because we care about everything—the greater good—including ourselves.” ~ Waylon H. Lewis

There's an elephant in the room that's keeping you sick, stuck, and afraid—and almost no one is talking about it.Trauma isn't just the big things that happened to you. It's the feelings that never got expressed. The shame that never got released. The hurt that never got processed. The beliefs you learned about yourself that keep you trapped. The grief you never fully let in. All of it—stored in your body—keeps you stuck in cycles of suffering.After 4 years of research with cancer patients, I discovered this truth: until we address what's actually at the root, we stay on a hamster wheel of healing.Liber8 isn't just for cancer patients.

All of this is happening to help you meet a part of you that IS the medicine.Listen now to discover how Liber8's new 12-week program can help you decode the message your body has been trying to send you—and finally break free from the patterns that have kept you sick, stuck, and playing small.

Fr. Mike illustrates the story of Eleazar and the abandonment of peace terms between the Jews and the Greeks. He also recognizes the pain that children and family members who don't follow the Lord can bring about, and uses wisdom from Sirach to address this prevalent struggle. Today's readings are 1 Maccabees 6, Sirach 16-18, and Proverbs 22:17-21. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Last Thursday, New York Attorney General Letitia James was indicted by a grand jury on two counts. This, on the heels of former FBI Director James Comey's arraignment, where pre-trial motions were granted around vindictive and selective prosecution. Mary and Andrew use these two examples to explain why targeting individuals instead of crimes violates some of the Justice Department's most sacred norms. Next, they walk through the latest court battles around federalized National Guard troops in Oregon and Illinois, with a 7th Circuit ruling in Chicago and oral arguments in the 9th circuit over the Portland deployment. Last comes a notable article from Professor Caleb Nelson, one of the nation's foremost originalist legal scholars, who questions granting increasing executive authority to the presidency.    Further reading:Here is Professor Nelson's article written for NYU Law's Democracy Project: Special Feature: Must Administrative Officers Serve at the President's Pleasure?Want to listen to this show without ads?

With Antiochus IV Epiphanes' death in Persia, the throne passed to the boy-king Antiochus V Eupator and his standing regent Lysias in 164. Between the Maccabean Revolt, would-be usurpers, and arrogant Roman emissaries, few of the kingdom's subjects had faith in the ruling pair. This was sensed by Prince Demetrius, the son of Seleucus IV held hostage in Rome, who escaped captivity with the aid of Polybius of Megalopolis and returned to Syria to reclaim his birthright.

The weather yesterday led to some very tragic travel. Billy told a very emotional elephant story that has us all tearing up! Listen to Billy & Lisa weekdays from 6-10AM on Kiss 108!   

Kenya & Pupy's first steps togetherPlease note that this episode was recorded prior to Pupy's sudden passing.The moment we've all been waiting for since Kenya's relocation to Elephant Sanctuary Brazil on July 9, 2025, is finally here! Pupy and Kenya are now sharing the same yards, and can begin exploring this next step.Scott and Kat share how Kenya is learning to channel her big energy as she realizes that Pupy needs more reassurance in this new relationship. We also explore how Pupy's past elephant interactions have shaped her personality, and why—just like with humans—being the same species doesn't automatically mean becoming best friends. Expectations need to be realistic and never forced onto the elephants.With Halloween just around the corner, we also talk about Kenya's foot health and the fundraiser dedicated to it. Decades of captivity and little to no medical care have taken their toll on her feet, and she will require ongoing, long-term care.

“Sometimes you need someone outside of your family and friends to tell you, ‘This part doesn't make sense,' or ‘Try it this way.' That honest feedback is what makes your writing stronger.” – Christine Devane  Christine Devane spent 13 years as a second-grade teacher, where she fell in love with story time and noticed something missing on the shelves—books that spoke directly to shy children. Drawing from her own childhood experiences as a quiet kid, Christine set out to write Elephant Beach, a debut picture book that blends her love of reading, teaching, family, and her collection of lucky elephants. In this episode, Christine shares how her journey from the classroom to becoming a children's author unfolded—starting over a decade ago, taking her through critique groups and writing conferences, and eventually leading to publication in a wonderfully unexpected way. We talk about the importance of writing communities, the challenge of finding objective feedback, and the personal touch of including a red-haired main character, inspired by Christine's own childhood (and later reflected in her daughter). Key Takeaways: Filling a gap for shy kids: Christine saw that children's literature rarely centered shy personalities, inspiring her to write Elephant Beach. The long road to publication: She began the manuscript ten years ago, honing it through critique groups, conferences, and classes before it was finally picked up. The power of writing communities: Honest, constructive feedback from fellow writers gave her perspectives friends and family couldn't. Personal touches matter: Giving her main character red hair made the story authentic—and later mirrored in her own daughter. Persistence pays off: Even after stepping away from teaching and focusing on her family, the story found its way into the world.

Nous sommes à la fin de l'été 55 av. J.-C., à Rome. Pompée dit « le grand », qui en est à son deuxième Consulat, a pris la décision de consacrer un temple à Vénus Victrix (« Vénus la Victorieuse »). L'événement est marqué par des spectacles sacrés, les ludi, qui sont également conçus pour sanctionner solennellement la construction, attenante au temple, du premier théâtre en pierre de la ville éternelle. Un témoin rapporte que le dernier jour des festivités, la foule voit dix-huit éléphants s'avancer sur la piste du Circus Maximus pour lutter contre des guerriers, probablement des esclaves déguisés en chasseurs africains. Les animaux amenés sur la piste viennent d'Afrique, ils appartiennent très probablement à l'espèce des éléphants de forêt, plus petits que ceux de la savane africaine. Une espèce bien présente à l'époque dans la région de l'Atlas marocain et de l'Afrique du Nord-Ouest. Ces pachydermes sont au cœur d'un événement sensationnel, qui va faire parler des générations entières de Romains. Un événement qui va entraîner aussitôt une perte importante de prestige et de respectabilité pour Pompée. En effet, les éléphants refusent le rôle de bêtes féroces qui leur est assigné. Et, sous l'effet du stress et de la douleur, ils se mettent à adopter des postures de détresse, ils se rassemblent en cercle et lèvent leur trompe en émettant des sons interprétés comme des pleurs et des appels à l'aide. Le public, à son tour, se met à pleurer, forçant Pompée à mettre fin au carnage. Depuis l'Antiquité, au moins, les animaux subissent domptage, labeur, enfermement et manifestent leurs émotions, interagissent avec les humains. Ils participent à l'Histoire. Et pourtant, celle-ci, jusqu'ici, prend rarement en compte leur contribution et, pourquoi pas, leur point de vue. Comment pouvons-nous rendre aux animaux leur rôle dans l'Histoire … Avec nous : Éric Baratay, professeur d'histoire contemporaine à l'université Jean-Moulin-Lyon-3, spécialiste de l'histoire des animaux. « Une histoire animale du monde - À la recherche du vécu des animaux de l'Antiquité à nos jours » ; Tallandier.

He breaks down practical effects, dream research, faith, simulation theory, and what it really means to create from both sides of the veil.He also discusses his early years breaking into the industry, performing stunts, and writing screenplays in 1980s Hollywood.

This week on The Power of Community & Collaboration Podcast I speak with Kristina McKean about The Elephant Project in Thailand. We discuss her love for animals and how it inspired her to start this amazing project that has saved thousands of elephants and now cats and dogs as well. This is a thought provoking conversation that will hopefully deter you from riding elephants when you learn about what those poor animals have to endure at the hands of humans who want to break their spirit. I also suspect that listening to Kristina, who is a great role model for how powerful one person can be,  will inspire you to tap into your own leadership energy so that you can find your own way to make a difference and contribute to community.  I am sharing the link to The Elephant Project and Kristina's TED Talk that illuminates the power of one! https://www.theelephantproject.com/?gad_source=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJXmFxJ6LPQClick on the platform of your choice to listen to the latest podcast episode, follow the podcast, and write a review so we can spread the news and reach more people!

Hello, everyone! We are back with Golden Bachelor Mel and his journey to find a woman who doesn't care about what he said months ago about wanting to find a match who is fifteen years younger than he is, with no artificial joints. Isn't this fun? ABC wasted no time finding delightful women with very forgiving hearts. They think Mel is a catch, and they will stop at nothing to prove to him that women in their golden years are full of life! Full of energy! And, if your name is Nicholle, full of cringe-worthy moments that involve her tongue down Mel's throat. Can someone find me a couch cushion to hide behind, please? Thanks!

We meet Sean Ono Lennon to explore his music and life with art, plus we discuss the forthcoming box set Power to the People, that Sean has produced, of his parents' Yoko Ono and John Lennon's 1972 fundraising live New York concert. We consider activism in art, especially the legacy of John and Yoko's timeless work together (as also documented in the recent One to One documentary).Recorded live at Madison Square Garden, New York City on 30 August 1972, the Power to The People box set includes 31 Live Tracks from John & Yoko's two historic sets at the One To One Concert backed by Plastic Ono Band, Elephant's Memory and Special Guests. They were John Lennon's only full-length concerts after leaving The Beatles and the last two full-length concerts that John & Yoko performed together. Released from 10th October 2025. Learn more: https://www.johnlennon.com/news/power-to-the-people-deluxe-box-4lp-2lp-2cd-1cd-preorder-now/Sean Ono Lennon is a world renowned musician, songwriter, and producer. “He has always chosen his own musical path, following it deftly as he splits the difference between pop and experimental pursuits. He came of age in the kaleidoscopic '90s, working with Cibo Matto and issuing his first solo album, 1998's Into the Sun, on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label, while beginning a long stint playing in his mother Yoko Ono's band. In the following decade he formed the psychedelic duo the Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger and the improvisational prog group Mystical Weapons. As his musical interests expanded further, he teamed with Les Claypool to form the hard-to-categorize project the Claypool Lennon Delirium, branched out into film scoring, explored more mainstream territory as he worked with artists like Lana Del Ray, Lady Gaga and Lily Allen, and delved into jazz as well. His first foray into that style was 2024's Asterisms, a fully instrumental album of electronics-fused jazz and psychedelic soundscape music. The son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Lennon was born in New York City in 1975. During his childhood, he was educated in Swiss boarding schools, but occasionally appeared on his mother's albums and sang on the 1984 Ono tribute Every Man Has a Woman. In his early teens, he was occasionally seen decked out in a plastic Thriller jacket and hanging out with Michael Jackson, but his first official step into the spotlight was in the form of filmed interviews for the 1988 documentary Imagine: John Lennon. Three years later, he organized -- with Ono and Lenny Kravitz -- a star-studded re-recording of his father's "Give Peace a Chance" as a protest to the Gulf War. That year, he also appeared on Kravitz's album Mama Said.” Biography by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi.In 2025, Sean is working on a new Claypool Lennon Delirium album (their 3rd) and is directing a documentary film on the crazy genius fashion designers 3as4, who have designed outfits for Bjork and Yoko among many others.
