A lifelong lover of music, sports, and Hawaii, Larry's story is filled with twists and turns that reflect resilience and the importance of forging your own path.Raised in a devout Mormon family, Larry embraced the religion's demanding lifestyle, including serving a two-year mission and adhering to the strict rules.  Larry explained how the church's high expectations and guilt-driven culture often take a toll on mental health, especially for women, who are frequently subjected to intense judgment and impossible standards. One of the most moving parts of the interview came when Larry discussed the loss of his son, Dusty, in 2018. This devastating event, coupled with his departure from the Mormon Church, tested his resilience and emotional strength. He credited his wife of 44 years, Judy, as his rock during this challenging period. Larry candidly shared how the family coped and how his other son, Crosby, continues to struggle with Dusty's death.Larry also reflected on the beauty and challenges of living in Hawaii. Though he adored the Aloha spirit, the financial reality of life on the islands eventually led him and Judy to settle in Southern Utah. His passion for music, sports, and storytelling remains central to his life, as evidenced by his own podcast Nobody Knows Your Story, where he explores the richness of human experiences.Throughout the conversation, Larry stressed the value of community—both in and out of religion. He also shared a poignant insight about personal growth: “You can't change the past, but you can always aim to do better moving forward.”This episode is a heartfelt reminder that mental health journeys are rarely straightforward, but with the right people in your corner and a willingness to seek truth, healing is always possible. Whether you're grappling with faith, loss, or life's uncertainties, Larry's story offers wisdom, humor, and hope for finding peace on your own terms.Invictus  - William Ernest HenleyOut of the night that covers me,Black as the pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may beFor my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstanceI have not winced nor cried aloud.Under the bludgeoning's of chanceMy head is bloody, but unbowed.Beyond this place of wrath and tearsLooms but the Horror of the shade,And yet the menace of the yearsFinds and shall find me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate,How charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate,I am the captain of my soul.

But this reluctance to fully acknowledge and integrate death as a natural part of the human experience has rendered us less able to cope with the end of life and less prepared to show up for ourselves and the people around us as we inevitably navigate loss. But what if a more skillful engagement with death and grief could actually offer us a more mindful approach to living? In this conversation, Nate is joined by Stephen Jenkinson, a cultural activist and author on the topic of grief, loss, and dying, to discuss his extensive work on grief literacy and the shortcomings of the dominant cultural attitudes towards death. Stephen reflects on his experiences as a palliative care counselor, offering insights on how to navigate the complexities of life and death, advocating for a more profound participation with grief. What if we viewed grief as a skill rather than an affliction? What opportunities and insights become available to us as we more deeply understand and accept death as a part of life? In what ways does modern culture's reliance on hope act as a distraction from facing reality – and how does this harm us towards the end of life?  (Conversation recorded on June 12th, 2025)   About Stephen Jenkinson: Stephen Jenkinson is a cultural activist and author on the topic of grief, loss, and dying. Along with his wife Nathalie Roy, Stephen co-founded the Orphan Wisdom School, where he writes and teaches about the skills of deep living, making human culture, and how to die and grieve well – skills he believes we have forgotten in our culture today. Stephen holds a master's degree in theological studies from Harvard and an additional master's degree in social work from the University of Toronto. Additionally, he served for years as the program director of a palliative-care center in a major Toronto teaching hospital, where he provided counseling at hundreds of deathbeds. He is the author of many books, including the award-winning Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul, as well as his upcoming book titled Matrimony: Ritual, Culture, and the Heart's Work.   Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Embracing wellness throughout our lifespan is crucial for maintaining physical, mental, and emotional health as we grow older. Here are some key strategies to promote healthy aging and ensure we live our best lives at any age.   1. Stay Physically Active Regular physical activity is one of the most important aspects of healthy aging. Exercise helps maintain muscle strength, flexibility, and balance, reducing the risk of falls and injuries. It also supports cardiovascular health and aids in weight management. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week, including activities like walking, swimming, or cycling, as well as strength training exercises.   2. Eat a Balanced Diet Nutrition plays a vital role in healthy aging. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats provides essential nutrients that support overall health. Pay attention to portion sizes and hydration, and limit the intake of processed foods, sugar, and salt. Incorporating foods rich in antioxidants, such as berries, nuts, and leafy greens, can help combat oxidative stress and promote cellular health.   3. Prioritize Mental Health Mental health is equally important as physical health in the aging process. Engage in activities that stimulate your mind, such as reading, puzzles, or learning new skills. Social connections also play a crucial role in mental well-being. Stay connected with friends and family, join clubs or groups, and participate in community activities to foster a sense of belonging and support.   4. Get Regular Health Check-ups Regular medical check-ups are essential for early detection and management of health conditions. Keep up with screenings and vaccinations, and communicate openly with your healthcare provider about any concerns or changes in your health. Preventive care and early intervention can significantly improve outcomes and enhance your quality of life.   5. Practice Good Sleep Hygiene Quality sleep is fundamental to healthy aging. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night and establish a consistent sleep routine. Create a comfortable sleep environment, limit exposure to screens before bedtime, and avoid caffeine and heavy meals in the evening. Good sleep supports cognitive function, mood regulation, and overall physical health.   6. Manage Stress Effectively Chronic stress can have detrimental effects on health. Incorporate stress-reducing practices into your daily routine, such as mindfulness meditation, deep breathing exercises, or yoga. Finding hobbies and activities that bring joy and relaxation can also help manage stress and improve overall well-being.   7. Stay Hydrated Hydration is crucial for maintaining bodily functions and overall health. As we age, our sense of thirst may diminish, making it important to consciously drink enough water throughout the day. Aim for at least eight glasses of water daily, and adjust your intake based on activity level and climate.   8. Avoid Harmful Habits Avoiding harmful habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption is vital for healthy aging. Smoking and heavy drinking can lead to numerous health issues, including heart disease, cancer, and liver damage. If you need help quitting, seek support from healthcare professionals or support groups.   9. Maintain a Positive Attitude A positive outlook on life can greatly influence your health and well-being. Cultivate gratitude, practice self-compassion, and focus on the things that bring you happiness and fulfillment. Engaging in activities that you are passionate about and setting achievable goals can provide a sense of purpose and direction.   10. Stay Engaged and Active in Your Community Being active in your community can provide a sense of purpose and belonging. Volunteer, join clubs or groups, and participate in community events. Staying engaged with others helps maintain social connections, which are crucial for mental and emotional health.   Healthy aging is about embracing wellness throughout the lifespan by making conscious choices that promote physical, mental, and emotional health. By staying active, eating a balanced diet, prioritizing mental health, and maintaining social connections, we can enhance our quality of life and age gracefully. Remember, it's never too late to start making positive changes that contribute to a healthier, happier life.

If you've ever felt stuck in the loop of making beats alone in your room, wondering if you're on the right path, this conversation is for you. I recently sat down with D3signer.Dr3ams, a Staten Island producer who's become a cornerstone of New York's Producer community, and what he shared completely re-frames how we think about the producer journey.This isn't just another "how I made it" story. This is about why stepping outside your comfort zone – literally leaving your bedroom studio – might be the most important move you make for your creative growth.Support ProducerHeadIf you value ProducerHead and want to support the show, consider a premium subscription (just $6 per month, even less on an annual basis). For less than a plug-in, you can directly support and grow the show while keeping the core content free for everyone.Who is D3signer.Dr3ams?D3signer.Dr3ams has built something special in the NYC beat scene. From discovering the Brooklyn Beat Syndicate to becoming a fixture in the SP-404 community, he's proven that authentic connection and old-school craft can cut through all the digital noise. His approach isn't about chasing trends – it's about diving deep into community, embracing limitations, and letting genuine relationships fuel both personal growth and musical evolution.What We Dive IntoIn this conversation, we explore territory that every producer navigates but rarely talks about openly:The Community Question: Why isolation kills creativity and how engaging with local scenes transforms your entire approach to making music. We get into the vulnerable truth about performing your beats for other producers and why that feedback loop is irreplaceable.Hardware Philosophy: D3signer breaks down his decision to work exclusively on hardware and how the SP-404's limitations became his greatest creative asset. This isn't gear worship – it's about understanding how constraints can unlock your distinctive voice.Competition vs. Community: We tackle the delicate balance between healthy competition and genuine support. How do you stay motivated by others' success without falling into jealousy? How do you compete while lifting others up?The Real Work: From vinyl digging to maintaining work-life balance while staying community-engaged, we cover the practical realities of sustaining both creativity and connection.Three Game-Changing Insights1. Community Over IsolationStop hiding in your bedroom. Engaging with local scenes, attending events, and performing for peers provides feedback and inspiration that streaming platforms can't replicate. Your growth accelerates when you step into real connection.2. Limitations Breed CreativityWorking within constraints forces more intentional decisions and helps develop your distinctive sound. Instead of getting overwhelmed by endless options, embrace the power of focused tools and deliberate choices.3. Competition vs. CommunityHealthy competition should inspire growth and learning, not breed contempt. Supporting fellow producers through purchases, promotion, and genuine interest creates momentum that lifts everyone. Your success doesn't require someone else's failure.Time to Step OutsideIf you take only one thing from this conversation, here is a line from D3signer that has stuck with me: "The bedroom is where you practice, but the community is where you grow."This 90-minute conversation will challenge every assumption you have about what it means to be a producer. From the vulnerability of playing your beats live to the unexpected creativity that comes from hardware limitations, this isn't just inspiration – it's a blueprint for transformation.Can't listen right now? Here's your challenge: Find one local beat event, producer meetup, or music community gathering happening in your area this month. Just find it.

China has the leverage when it comes to rate earth minerals, Trump is now making a move on Myanmar. Trump is now cracking down on banks that ban conservatives. Countries are now begging Trump to back off of tariffs, the investment amounts that countries have to invest in the countries are fines to get the money back. Watch the market. The [DS] tried to trap Trump with Epstein narrative, they tried to use it as a distraction and now it has backfired on them. Trump is now putting them on the spot because they are guilty. The fake news is doing exactly what Trump thought they would do, keep the grand conspiracy going, the fake news has not admitted that what the D's have done is criminal. We are now watch movie 1, Russia, Russia, Russia. Movie 2 coming this fall, will it be election rigging?   Economy Trump's Decision Could Break China's Rare Earth Leverage in Myanmar's Civil War The Trump administration is reportedly weighing two proposals to remove China from critical U.S. supply chains. One option involves negotiating a rare earth mineral trade deal directly with the Myanmar junta. The other, and potentially more strategic, approach is to bypass the junta entirely and engage with the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), a powerful ethnic armed group that controls resource-rich territory and has been fighting the junta since it nullified Myanmar's democratic election and seized power in 2021. Engaging with the junta risks legitimizing a brutal regime responsible for widespread atrocities, including airstrikes and ground assaults on civilians, hospitals, schools, refugee camps, and villages. Signing a deal with the junta could be perceived as endorsing its rule. In contrast, partnering with the KIO would send a powerful signal that the United States recognizes the de facto legitimacy of the revolutionary forces now functioning as local governments across much of the country. However, any attempt to redirect rare earth exports away from China would likely trigger backlash. Most of Myanmar's rare earths currently go to Chinese markets, and Beijing would almost certainly pressure the KIO to block such a deal. The junta, too, may respond aggressively, by escalating military attacks on Kachin-held areas or attempting to obstruct exports. Still, for the people of Myanmar, any action that challenges China's economic dominance and undermines the junta's power would be a welcome development. China not only profits from rare earth extraction in Myanmar but also helps sustain the junta's war against its own people. Breaking that link, both economically and symbolically, would mark a significant step toward weakening a regime responsible for daily violence and repression across the country. Today, Kachin-controlled mines produce nearly half of the world's heavy rare earths, particularly terbium and dysprosium, used in electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, and other advanced technologies. China, which controls over 80% of the global rare earth supply chain, increasingly relies on Myanmar for these critical elements after cracking down on illegal domestic mining and tightening environmental laws in 2015. Myanmar now accounts for more than 57% of China's rare earth imports, due to lax regulations and production costs up to seven times lower than in China.

In this Trinity Forum Conversation, author Lanta Davis, along with special guest host and Trinity Forum Senior Fellow Jessica Hooten Wilson, delve into the power of imagination and its role in our spiritual formation. The discussion centers on Davis's book Becoming by Beholding, which explores Christian imagination through art, literature, and historical practices.These friends and scholars discuss the transformative potential of engaging with sacred art, the virtues, and traditional practices like Lectio Divina:"In Jesus's parables ... He's constantly showing us that there's more hidden behind the surface than we think. The mustard seed is not just a mustard seed. Yeast is not just yeast ... Jesus shows us heavenly meanings ... This is what the incarnation helps us understand, that the divine is not just up above. It's all around us. It's here and now. That when God became matter, all the material world changed because of it."We hope this conversation will resonate with you as you explore the good, the true, and the beautiful in your own corner of creation. This podcast is an edited version of our Online Conversation recorded in March 2025.
