Podcasts about engaged

Actor and comedian Patton Oswalt joins Sam to catch up where they left off during the first Trump administration and how they simply can't believe we're doing round two of this shit. They discuss how there's money in outrage and how it drives engagement, and how news channels take advantage of your cortisol levels to keep you engaged with constant alerts of BREAKING NEWS. Patton explains why he no longer interacts with people on X but still can't leave his followers behind, and why they both now mostly use social media to self-soothe, while others are left to raw-dog their boredom. They talk about the need for young nerds to go into politics and what Trump would be doing if Sam was still on TV. A girl can dream! Check out Patton's new special, Black Coffee and Ice Water, available on Audible. Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and X.

The Buddha taught a path of awakened living, but how does that manifest in today's world of constant connectivity and widespread suffering? How do we keep our hearts open without being defined or hardened by the pain that surrounds us, whether personal, collective, or historical? How do we navigate the paradox of holding both pain and joy, without mistaking suffering for punishment or personal failure? Can we infuse our compassion with wisdom and perspective to find the agency to take meaningful action in our communities? In her new series, Engaged Compassion, Sharon delves into these questions and more, engaging in candid conversations with a diverse group of teachers, activists, and changemakers.

A Garrison Institute Fellow, Shelly has been called one of the “12 Powerful Women of the Mindfulness Movement” by Mindful.org and teaches self-care and resilience at organizations and to audiences around the world. She is also the author of several books, “Sit Down to Rise Up” and “How We Ended Racism.” This is her second appearance on the Metta Hour Podcast.In this conversation, Shelly and Sharon speak about:• What motivated Shelly to get her PH.D.• The definition of Mutual Aid • Mutual Aid across history• Peter Kropotkin's view of society • Cooperation vs competition in society• Thriving interspecies ecosystems • How Shelly's practice has evolved over time• Finding a balance in our compassion• Prioritizing self-care in engaged compassion• How Shelly has let go of her caregiving guilt• The signs that burnout is lurking• Seeing resentment as a signal flare• Shelly's advice to change-makers• Activism with our own sustainability in mind• Asking for help before falling into burnout• Joy is not an abandonment of responsibility • How Shelly finds joy in nature and with musicAdditional ResourcesThe episode closes with Shelly leading a lovingkindness meditation.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever started a story with your students and felt like everything was going beautifully until you noticed the glazed expressions, delayed responses, and side conversations beginning?It is easy to assume the story is boring or that students simply do not care. But a drop in engagement does not necessarily mean the story failed.In this episode, I sit down with world language educator, author, and presenter Eric Richards to explore how we can use stories and reading to support language acquisition while keeping students engaged.Eric shares how he builds engagement through two essential elements: confidence and curiosity. We also discuss how to make stories more comprehensible, recognize when students' attention is beginning to fade, and respond with quick resets instead of falling into what I call the judgment trap.This conversation is filled with practical, low-prep strategies you can use with any story, reading, proficiency level, or curriculum.✨ TakeawaysWhy comprehension itself can make a story compelling for beginning learners.How confidence and curiosity help students continue listening and reading.Simple ways to add movement, drawing, personalization, and interaction.What to do when you notice student engagement beginning to drop.How to check comprehension without turning every reading into a test.Why the response students give should match the purpose of the activity.

As Lana Fontenot, Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement and External Relations at South Louisiana Community College, states, "Engagement is not a one-time thing, it happens day in and day out, year-round. You never stop doing it.

Traditional Worship | Bishop Bob Hayes |When we use or hear the phrase “the good life,” the first thing that comes to mind is a life defined by comfort, ease or success. However, throughout Scripture there are many ordinary people who discover that the good life begins when they respond to God's call to live fully in His purposes and plans. This sermon series takes a look at five characters in the Bible who are called, equipped, awakened, engaged and empowered to trust God completely. It is a unique perspective that calls upon all of us to pursue the good life. Thank you for joining us in our traditional worship service. You are welcome here!

What separates the highest-performing franchisees from everyone else? Barb Moran believes it starts with something many leaders don't measure closely enough: franchisee engagement. Many franchisors focus on growing their systems, but long-term success depends on something far less obvious: building franchisees who are fully engaged in the business and invested in the success of the entire brand. In this episode, Barb Moran, CEO of Moran Family of Brands, shares why engagement has become one of the strongest predictors of profitability inside her organization and how intentionally building the right culture helps franchisees embrace change, collaborate with one another, and build stronger businesses.Barb also reflects on her journey from being told she would never lead her family's company because she was a woman to ultimately becoming CEO and expanding the business into Canada. Along the way, she shares practical lessons on succession planning, building core values that shape everyday decisions, creating meaningful collaboration between franchisees, and helping owners become active contributors to the success of the entire system.Whether you're launching a franchise brand or leading an established system, this conversation offers practical strategies for building stronger franchise relationships, increasing engagement, and creating sustainable, long-term growth.Connect with Barb:Email: BMoran@moranbrands.comWebsite: https://moranfamilyofbrands.com/Episode Highlights:Why franchisee engagement drives profitabilityMeasuring franchisee engagement and accountabilityBuilding a franchise culture around the DRIVE core valuesCreating collaboration through peer groups and town hallsGrowing up in the family business and becoming CEOBuying the family business and navigating successionEmbracing AI and technology as opportunities for growthExpanding Moran Family of Brands into CanadaPreserving culture during acquisitions and growthLeadership advice for both franchisors and franchiseesConnect with TracyPersonal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-panase/JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsaleJBF Franchise System - https://jbfsalefranchise.com/Email: podcast@jbfsale.comConnect with ShannonPersonal LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonwilburn/       JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsaleWebsite - https://shineexecutivecoaching.com/Email - shannon@shineexecutivecoaching.com

Daryl is planning his wedding… but his fiancée is “losing the plot” over one thing: his super-close friendship with a female colleague that everyone calls his “work wife”. They text most days, swap memes, and she even rang him late at night in bits after a row with her boyfriend — a call he answered while in bed with his fiancée.Is his fiancée a jealous “bunny boiler”… or is Daryl crossing lines and emotionally cheating without realising it?Can men and women be 'platonic friends' or is it always doomed to failure?

Drawing from our recent collaborative publication titled Ethnographic reporting meets engaged journalism and offers untapped resources in Facts and Frictions, Adam Gamwell and Emily Kennedy explore how journalism and anthropology have each undergone periods of reckoning—grappling with questions of representation, power, and the need to reimagine their relationships with the communities they study or report on. We'll reflect on surprising parallels in the histories of both fields, the resurgence of ethnographic methods in journalism, and the practical value of deep, community-driven research for newsrooms navigating turbulent social and technological change.Join us as we explore how ethnography—a powerful research method from anthropology—is revolutionizing engaged journalism.

Employee engagement is key to a successful organization, and getting team members engaged should begin even before their first day of work as a new hire. New hires naturally feel a mix of excitement and anxiety, but leaders must capitalize on the excitement while minimizing the anxiety to stimulate employee engagement from the outset. According to Lana Fontenot, Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement and External Relations for South Louisiana Community College, effective pre-boarding and onboarding programs are effective ways to not only stimulate excitement and reduce anxiety but to build engagement and increase retention rates. Listen to the first part of Dr. Janet Pilcher's two-part interview with Ms. Fontenot as they discuss her model for pre-boarding and onboarding and her personal experience as a new hire that instilled within her the passion for effective onboarding and employee engagement. Recommended Resources:  Focus on Employee Engagement, Increase Employee Engagement with RecognitionFollow Host Dr. Janet Pilcher on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janetpilcher/

We've all experienced moments where we feel emotionally disconnected—distant from God, withdrawn from the people we love, or simply "off" without knowing why. But what if those moments aren't meant to be ignored or pushed aside? What if they're invitations to deeper healing?In today's episode we're continuing our Freedom Series by sharing ones of Elliott's recent sermons he gave. Elliott explores why emotional engagement is essential to spiritual maturity and healthy relationships. Drawing from Scripture, psychology, and years of counseling experience, he explains how God created us as emotional beings and why suppressing, repressing, or avoiding our emotions often leads to fear, conflict, isolation, and unhealthy patterns.He explores the difference between passive, aggressive, and healthy emotional responses, and why our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are so deeply connected, and gains practical tools for recognizing, processing, and surrendering your emotions to God. Elliott also introduces the "R.A.C." framework—Recognize, Accept, and Consider Change—a simple yet powerful way to move from emotional reactivity toward emotional maturity.Whether you've felt emotionally numb, overwhelmed, reactive, or simply disconnected, this episode offers a biblical vision for living with greater honesty, freedom, and intimacy—with God, with others, and with yourself.Dr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http://loveandlifemedia.com/Empowered Dating Playbook: smarturl.it/EmpoweredDatingBookInstagram: @dr.karin | @pastorelliottanderson

Brockman takes the opportunity of Justin Herbert's engagement to singer Madison Beer to throw serious shade at the L.A. Chargers QB. Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Davis and Rich discuss what to expect from the Broncos' offense with head coach Sean Payton relinquishing play calling duties, says if Christian McCaffrey, Jahmyr Gibbs or Derrick Henry is the NFL's best running back, what Aaron Donald's return would mean for the Rams' Super Bowl chances, and more. The guys debate not “if” but “when” we'll see a college football super league break away from the NCAA. In ‘Overreaction Tuesday' Rich weighs in on the lack of long-term extensions for Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield and Rams WR Puka Nacua, if Patrick Mahomes and Daniel Jones will be ready for the Chiefs and Colts by Week 1, the Buffalo Bills new grey alternative uniforms, LeBron James to the 76ers, and if Steph Curry should ask the Warriors for a trade.

Nick Lloyd continues: by late 1915, commanders on both sides realized that the trench deadlock could not be easily shattered through traditional maneuvers. During the Second Battle of Champagne, the French and Germans engaged in a constant evolution of defensive and offensive technology, with the Germans thickening their lines with pillboxes, machine guns, and barbed wire in response to massive Allied artillery barrages. Lloyd emphasizes that the war's complexity forced a logical but painful shift in thinking as the dream of a grand "shattering breakthrough" faded into a grim reality of local gains. Amidst this carnage, figures like General Castelnau emerged, representing the human side of high command; a deeply religious man who personally suffered the loss of three sons, he serves as a counterpoint to the cliché of "cardboard cutout" generals. This narrative seeks to bring these individuals to life, showing them as humans wrestling with the desolation and horror of a war they could not easily win. (2)MONASH
