Guiding Question: What's your North Star—and do you have a clear vision of what you want to be, do, and leave behind before you die? Key Takeaways: Living with the End in Mind, Practically: Robert Lewis introduces a practical life tool called the “North Star”—a simple but profound exercise to help men clarify their life purpose. It's a personal vision statement built around this prompt: “Before I die, I want to…” Completing that phrase across several categories helps a man live with intentionality. Key Categories for the North Star Tool: Be – Who do you want to become? Do – What do you want to accomplish? Have – What experiences or possessions do you desire? Help – Who do you want to serve or impact? Enjoy – What brings you joy that you want to prioritize? Leave – What legacy do you want to leave behind? The Danger of Drift: Many men go through life burdened and bent by responsibilities, pressures, and comparison—Robert calls this the “reactive life.” It leads to burnout and purposelessness. Instead, he urges men to live a “proactive life,” guided by purpose, conviction, and vision. Two Ways to Live: Comparing and Competing – Living based on what others do or have, leading to exhaustion and envy. Envisioning and Enjoying – Living by looking forward, anchored in a personal vision, leading to clarity and joy. Personal Vulnerability and Modeling: Robert shares his own “before I die” goals—ranging from coaching football again to writing a screenplay and helping plant 100 transformational churches. He models how this exercise applies at any age, affirming that it's never too late to start dreaming—or start over. Encouragement by Age: For Older Men: It's not too late. Reclaim your second half. For Younger Men: Start now. Your dreams can be purer, bigger, and more long-lasting if formed early. For Everyone: This tool is your compass, your GPS, and your life's alignment check. Final Charge: Robert emphasizes that crafting this North Star vision may be the most important thing a man ever does as an adventurer. It shapes not just what he does, but who he becomes and how deeply he lives. Key Scripture References: Ecclesiastes 4:4 – Rivalry and comparison as vanity. Ephesians 5:15–16 – Walk wisely and make the most of your time. Proverbs 16:9 – A man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. Genesis 1:28 – God's design for man and his purposes. Proverbs 20:5 – Drawing out the deep purposes of a person's heart.

Today's guest is Dr Doris Schneeberger of the Vienna University of Economics and Business. Doris's academic background is in animal ethics and animal organizational studies. We're discuss her 2024 Palgrave Macmillan book Envisioning a Better Future for Nonhuman Animals: Towards Future Animal Rights Declarations. This is one of the three books shortlisted for the Australasian Animal Studies Association's inaugural Siobhan O'Sullivan Book Prize. (The others are Josh Milburn's Food, Justice, and Animals: Feeding the World Respectfully and Yamini Narayanan's Mother Cow, Mother India: A Multispecies Politics of Dairy in India.) The winner will be announced this month. In her answers to her quick questions, Doris mentioned Peter Singer, Pablo Castelló, Claudia Hirtenfelder, and Nico Dario Müller.

Lydia Brown, director of public policy at the National Disability Institute, discusses two issues preventing people with disabilities from excelling in the workforce and in general: policies that trap them in poverty and artificial intelligence that discriminates. Antiquated Social Security rules with asset and income limits create a poverty trap that limits a disabled individual from seeking more pay or career advancement. In terms of AI, algorithms are being used that may screen out candidates with disabilities based on certain characteristics such as gaps in employment history, or length of time it took an individual to graduate from college. Often these characteristics are unrelated to a job function or job performance. Brown says these are two of the major issues of this generation for not only disability rights groups but also policymakers. They represent larger issues regarding policies, laws, socioeconomic structures, and the need to address our fundamental values as a society.

Guiding Question: What will heaven really be like, and how should the promise of eternity shape the way I live today? Key Takeaways: The Power of Envisioning the End: Robert Lewis continues the theme of “sacred ground”—reflecting on death and eternity—as essential to a well-lived life. He illustrates this with the story of Alfred Nobel, whose accidental obituary inspired him to reshape his legacy. Similarly, men are called to think ahead to their end and live accordingly. Two Worldviews, Four Outcomes: Building on the previous week, Lewis recaps the two metaphysical worldviews (traditional religious vs. secular scientism) and the four outcomes people commonly choose regarding the afterlife. Most Americans believe in an afterlife, but their assumptions vary widely. Heaven Described as Dynamic, Relational, and Rewarding: Lewis dismantles the dull, caricatured views of heaven (clouds, harps, robes) and instead offers six compelling biblical insights: A place of resolution – where life's injustices and mysteries are clarified. A place of altered states – where we receive transformed, physical-yet-glorified bodies, capable of operating in new dimensions. A place of personal rewards – where how we lived matters eternally; faithfulness is honored with real commendation and reward. A place of new status and position – where people's earthly faithfulness determines their roles and responsibilities. A place of adventure and creation – not a static eternity, but one full of exploration, challenges, and creativity. A place of endless surprises – experiences beyond our imagination, prepared by a generous and relational God. Not Everyone Will Go There: The Bible is clear that there will be judgment. Heaven is not universal, and not everyone will enter. The big question isn't just how good you are—but whether you recognize your need for help. Sobering and Motivating: Lewis calls men to be honest about where they stand in relation to eternity, challenging the idea of being “good enough” and urging listeners to grapple with grace and truth. Key Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 9:26 – Living with aim and intention. 1 Corinthians 13:12 – “Now I know in part; then I shall know fully...” Ecclesiastes 12:14 – “God will bring every deed into judgment...” 1 Corinthians 15:19 – “If only for this life we have hope in Christ...” John 14:2 – “I go to prepare a place for you.” 1 Corinthians 3:12–15 – Works tested by fire, rewards given. Matthew 19:27–30 – Rewards and positions in the kingdom. 1 Corinthians 2:9 – “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard...” Matthew 25:31–46 – Separation of the sheep and the goats.

Mark shares a recent Dr. Joe interview with attorney and author Christopher Early, where they explore how vulnerability, mindfulness, and the I-M Approach can help us heal from childhood trauma and move toward growth. Christopher shares his journey as told in his memoir Scaling the Wall, opening up about family struggles, anger, and the lessons of resilience he's carried into his professional and personal life. The conversation highlights how small changes, daily practices, and choosing vulnerability over defensiveness can help break generational cycles, resolve conflict, and create healthier paths forward. Get your copy of Scaling the Wall: One Man's Journey of Healing Childhood Trauma to Find Fulfillment and Success and get in touch with Chris on his website! This episode was originally heard on The Dr. Joe Show Takeaways Conflict often stems from a desire to feel valued. Healing requires confronting and processing trauma. Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. Daily practices like meditation can enhance self-awareness. Everyone is doing the best they can with their circumstances. Good habits and bad habits both compound over time. Storytelling can be a powerful tool for healing. Understanding the influence of our past can help us grow. It's important to respect others' experiences, even if we don't agree. The journey of personal growth is ongoing and requires effort.

An immersive journey into the author's lifelong attachment to video games, revealing how they shape us, shatter us, and give us the courage to start again Of Floating Isles: On Growing Pains and Video Games (Arsenal Pulp Press, 2025) is a captivating collection of personal essays that unpack the mystifying and often intimate roles that video games play in our lives. Interweaving memoir with cultural critique, Kawika Guillermo explores the subtle yet transformative influences of video games in shaping them as a queer and mixed-race grandson of two preachers; as a traveller, immigrant, and games scholar; and as a father, caregiver, and mourner. Through a mixture of fanciful musing, rigorous inquiry, and unflinching self-reflection, Of Floating Isles reframes the gamer's retreat from others not as social isolation, but as a quest for a different community, one where they feel seen, heard, and understood. This deep-seated longing to belong, Guillermo suggests, forms the imaginative worlds of video games and the floating isles they conjure. By exploring their own lifelong attachment to video games, Guillermo shows how games can spark rage, confusion, and the desire to escape, but these emotions are not necessarily bad - they are the growing pains that many young people must work through. So too can games provide reflective realms to dwell, to imagine, and to build spaces for queer, trans, racialized, and neurodiverse groups. Envisioning games as forms of poetic interaction, Of Floating Isles boldly conveys their truth-telling powers: their ability to offer guidance in times of loss and hardship, and their power to reveal the oppressive mechanisms of our "real" world. Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since 1985. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds two PhDs in game studies (LMU & University of Passau). Currently, he's teaching as a professor for game design and game studies at the HNU University of Applied Sciences Neu-Ulm, Germany, has submitted his third dissertation at the University of Vechta, holds the position as lead editor at the online journal Titel kulturmagazin for the game section, hosts the German local radio show Replay Value and is editor of the weekly game research newsletter DiGRA D-A-CH Game Studies Watchlist.

Kai studied forestry and literature at Yale University, where he also received a certificate in Business Plan Development from the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute. He serves as an adjunct faculty member at the Western Washington University College of the Environment, and has coordinated research projects in forestry with the University of Washington, University of Montana, and Oregon State University since 2014. He has co-authored peer-reviewed articles in Biogeochemistry and Agriculture, Ecosystems, and Environment, and has written extensively for publications such as Growing for Market, Civil Eats, New Society Publishing, The Sound Consumer, Rodale Institute, and Stone Pier Press. Kai is also a Washington State Certified Burner and a US Forest Service C-Level Sawyer, and holds on foundational interest in integrating academic, cultural, and field based knowledge.  Jayden Alp is the Communications and Engagement Manager at Envisioning Labs, a Vancouver-based climate innovation and R&D firm.

In this episode, Laurence Joss speaks with Daniel Ryan, a UK attorney, about the challenges and realities of the court system, particularly in family law. They discuss the need for a fundamental change in how disputes are handled, the complexities of parental alienation, and the often negative outcomes of court proceedings. Daniel emphasizes the importance of understanding the court's limitations and the need for better resources and support for parents navigating these difficult situations. They also explore the role of children in court proceedings and envision a more inclusive and supportive family court system.Key TakeawaysThere needs to be a fundamental change in the court system.Nobody wins in court; everyone loses.Parental alienation is often misunderstood and mishandled in court.The court system is designed for conflict, not resolution.Children should be involved in the court process to minimize their impact.Judges often lack the psychological expertise needed for cases involving parental alienation.The current approach to parental alienation is overly simplistic.Mediation and counseling should be prioritized before court proceedings.The backlog in the court system exacerbates the issues faced by families.A more relaxed and inclusive court environment could benefit all parties involved.Chapters00:00 - The Need for Change in the Court System05:02 - Understanding the Reality of Court Proceedings09:41 - Parental Alienation: A Complex Issue15:03 - The Role of Children in Court Proceedings19:47 - Envisioning a Better Family Court SystemFor more detailed information, please click the link below:https://www.mckenziepicave.com/If you wish to connect with Lawrence Joss or any of the PA-A community members who have appeared as guests on the podcast:Email - familydisappeared@gmail.comLinktree: https://linktr.ee/lawrencejoss(All links mentioned in the podcast are available in Linktree)Please donate to support PAA programs:https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=SDLTX8TBSZNXSThis podcast is made possible by the Family Disappeared Team:Anna Johnson- Editor/Contributor/Activist/Co-hostGlaze Gonzales- Podcast ManagerConnect with Lawrence Joss:Website: https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/Email- familydisappeared@gmail.com

Today's episode of the Punk CX podcast is with Greg Kihlström from The Agile Brand. Greg is a best-selling author, speaker, and entrepreneur, and serves as an advisor and consultant to top companies on marketing technology, marketing operations, and digital transformation initiatives. A couple of months ago, Greg invited me to be a guest on his show, and we took the opportunity to meet up and record the episode while he was in Scotland recently on vacation. We covered a lot of ground, including the state of customer experience, what brands get right and what they don't and hyper-personalisation. It went so well I thought I'd release it as an episode on the Punk CX podcast too. This interview follows on from my recent interview – Envisioning a personal AI agent for every customer – Interview with Malte Kosub of Parloa – and is number 552 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders who are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.

In this episode we discuss the state of so-called “LeftTube” and “The Left YouTube Pipeline.”  We discuss Yugopniik's funnel theory, whether he still believes in it, drama within The Online Left, Leftist infighting, and balancing theory with real-life organizing.In the two-hour Backroom episode on Patreon, Yugopnik and I dive deep into the Contrapoints drama with regard to Israel-Palestine and the left. We discuss how progressives are not always necessarily socialists, and how, in many cases, progressivism can sometimes be a barrier to socialism.  We also discuss the technicalities of the socialist strategy and how the Separation of Powers and multi-party democracy could function under socialism in order to avoid the pitfalls of past Marxist-Leninist Regimes, and what MLs today in general miss. Oh, and we also dispel some dumb rumors circulating on Reddit with regard to me and the Deprogram boys.

https://www.cultivatingself.org/ ... Today, we're incredibly honored to feature Raji K. Brar, a true trailblazer whose journey from humble beginnings to the highest levels of public service is nothing short of remarkable. Born and raised in Fresno County, Raji's story is rooted in the hard work and determination of her immigrant parents from Punjab, India, who started their lives as farmworkers. That foundation propelled her to earn degrees in biology and healthcare administration from Cal State Bakersfield, eventually leading her to play a key role in her family's thriving real estate and development firm, Countryside Corporation. But Raji's impact extends far beyond business. In 2006, she shattered barriers by becoming the first Sikh woman ever elected to a municipal government seat in California, joining the Arvin City Council. This historic achievement earned her the prestigious Woman of the Year by the California State Assembly. She's a four-time gubernatorial appointee and lends her expertise to influential boards like the California Chamber of Commerce and Kern Medical. Most recently, Raji was appointed as a Trustee on the California State University Board, a testament to her dedication to education and public service. Beyond her impressive professional and political career, Raji is also the co-founder of the Bakersfield Sikh Women's Association, a powerful organization dedicated to empowering her community through health, wellness, and educational initiatives. ... https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/board-of-trustees/meet-the-board-of-trustees/Pages/raji-kaur-brar.aspx ... https://shiningsikh.com/meet-raji-kaur-brar-a-trailblazing-sikh-woman/ ...

Envisioning the Empress illuminates dynamic and powerful empresses who impacted not only women in their own time but whose influence extended to later generations of royalty, creating a greater role for imperial women and elevating the status of women's roles at a crucial juncture in Japanese history. The central focus of this book is visual monarchy, exploring how the empress' biographies were primarily expressed in visual culture and how their images worked in support of Japan's imperial policies in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.  The book begins with a brief overview of premodern and modern imperial women to orient the reader. In each chapter, different media, audiences, and distribution channels for constructing the narrative of feminine imperial power in Japan are addressed alongside biographical information. It is argued that the ultimate purpose of all of these images was to elevate the empress and promote her image as a conventional role model for modern women, but one with enough celebrity cache to maintain popularity. The images of the modern empresses, as distributed by the Imperial Household Agency, strike a balance between propaganda and popular media, noble philanthropist and upper-middle class role model, celebrity and mother of the nation. The modern empress image was crafted to be both exalted and approachable and worked to establish individual biographies while simultaneously establishing the position of the empress as timeless in the public eye. Envisioning the Empress introduces students of royal studies as well as modern Japanese history and art history to this fascinating element of the history of monarchy and women's history more broadly.
