In the interview, Mark and Johnny talk about: Johnny's return to this podcast (with neither of them being able to remember how many episodes he'd been on previously). Technically, this is his fourth time. Two previous episodes were interviews, and the other was Johnny's brief guest reflection spot in Episode 300 Why Johnny's new book THE ARTISAN AUTHOR is a much-anticipated and needed book in the industry A definition of what it means to be an artisan author, which is kind of the opposite of being a "rapid release, Kindle-only eBook" author The importance of taking away that stress-cycle of having to pump out so many books as a single prescription "how to do it" answer Remembering an important thing that, just like there is no single "the way" neither is being an artisan author The paradigm shift and mindset change that is required as a fundamental starting point How readers outside of the eBook/Kindle-only marketplace aren't as focused on lower price points and are okay with higher prices The reality of the publishing landscape in terms of the books being sold and money being earned The misinterpretation of the book Johnny and Sean Platt released years ago called WRITE, PUBLISH, REPEAT How there are two kinds of writers. The type who approach the business as trying to solve a puzzle and the type who approach it as a way of telling a story that they really want to share How a call of "go slow and make art" is not nearly as sexy as a "solution" The experience of driving off to meet a couple of long-term fans to sign and sell directly to them Connections and humanity being a key element of the artisan author experience The value of authentic connection, regardless of whether or not it's in person or online That powerful experience Johnny had doing one of his first major live book signing events as an author at Author Nation in Vegas and how that led to doing a lot more in person events The ability to adapt to a customer based on their reactions in person Look at it as connections, and then if sales happen . . . great! Being really generous with your time and attention Some of the logistics of doing an in person book signing A couple of unexpected and amusing anecdotes from selling books in person The Kickstarter that Johnny is doing for this book, which runs July 15 through Aug 14 (johnnybtruant.com/artisan) The additional "continuum of education" that Johnny is including in this Kickstarter (Artisan University) The importance of authors entering into things with conscious decisions rather than just blindly following the generic advice they've found And more . . .   After the interview Mark reflects on a few specific points from the discussion.   Links of Interest: Johnny B.

You want to be someone who can rest without guilt. Someone who can be present, have fun, enjoy the moment, but it feels hard. Like another thing on your to-do list. In this episode, we unpack why things like rest, play, and downtime feel so exhausting when they're supposed to feel good. I walk you through why it's not about laziness or being “too Type A”… it's about safety. Nervous system safety. And if you've ever thought, “I know I'm allowed to relax… but I just can't let myself,” this one's for you!! Instagram Post Referenced   Action Steps: Name the thing you wish you let yourself enjoy more. “Something I wish I let myself enjoy more is…” Notice the fear behind it. “What am I afraid will happen if I actually let myself enjoy this?” This could be fear of being lazy, losing control, being judged, or not being good enough. Shift from ‘allowed to' → ‘letting myself.' Say it out loud: “I'm not just allowed to enjoy ____. I'm letting myself enjoy it.” This is the difference between knowing something and actually practicing it. Start with five minutes. Choose one low-pressure moment this week to practice letting yourself enjoy that one thin, even for just five minutes.   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Fun feels exhausting 01:45 – It's not your personality, it's your nervous system 03:00 – When enjoyment becomes another task 05:00 – You don't need more hacks, you need safety 06:30 – You've Googled how to be more fun + here's what's missing 08:00 – You don't want more, you want less 10:00 – My therapist asked if I had any hobbies 12:20 – What are you afraid will happen if you stop proving yourself? 14:00 – Your body doesn't speak logic, it speaks survival 15:00 – Rest feels like danger when your worth is tied to doing 16:00 – Allowing vs. letting: the energy difference 18:30 – Why joy and pleasure aren't wastes of time 19:45 – Escaping your life through food, work, or distraction 21:00 – You don't need more fixing, you need more understanding 22:00 – The 5-minute challenge 23:00 – Practice now for ease later 24:30 – Let yourself enjoy one thing, just a little more   BINGE EATING UNCHAINED  The last program you'll need to stop binge eating.

What do elite performers, world-class cops, and Olympic athletes have in common? They train the mind as hard as the body. In this mind-expanding conversation, Travis Bader is joined by Jeff Johnsgaard, veteran police officer, Force Science Institute consultant, and founder of Training on Purpose by Design.Jeff has taught use-of-force and high-stakes performance across four continents and multiple tier-one units.

It's for anyone who wants to perform better when it counts.

Is more money the key to happiness? Or is there more to life than what meets the wallet? People often seek financial success in the pursuit of happiness, believing that a substantial income and material wealth is equivalent to a more fulfilling life. While money certainly plays a crucial role in meeting basic needs and providing a sense of security, the relationship between money and happiness is complex and multifaceted. Garrett Gunderson, through his book Money Unmasked: Unlearn, Unlock, and Take Back Control of Your Finances and Life, delves into the intricacies of financial well-being and challenges conventional wisdom about money. Beyond the punchlines and laughter, Garrett is a vocal advocate for financial education and literacy. In fact, he founded Wealth Factory, a company focused on providing education and coaching to help individuals and businesses optimize their financial strategies. In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Garrett joins Darius to reflect on his venture into comedy and to talk about the motivation behind his book Money Unmasked, explaining the concept of money personas and shadow personas, and exploring the intricate relationship between money and happiness. The discussion will also touch upon the struggle to break free from busyness and confronting insecurities, along with various other compelling topics.

Learning to manage emotions is one of the most difficult parts of sobriety. Many people don't think they were drinking to cope, only to find out once they try to quit that they were. When I was drinking and in the first couple of years of sobriety, I used to make things more difficult for myself because I couldn't manage emotions. I would ruminate, avoid, or escape with other self-destructive things like sugar, blowing up at people, or feeling completely overwhelmed. Part of being sober is learning how to deal with life in healthy ways, and not making things worse for ourselves. That's what this episode is all about.

Lochhead warned of the “existing market trap”—a scenario where up to $13 trillion could be lost as AI vendors focus on optimizing legacy markets instead of inventing new ones. He urged companies to think like AI-native startups and embrace a bold “stop, change, start” strategy to drive meaningful transformation. Karkera introduced Soul of the Machine, a platform designed to compress the ideation-to-prototype process from months to hours. He emphasized that true innovation lies in blending AI with human creativity and design, paving the way for a new era of value creation.

Can we read the Bible without reducing it to a rulebook, a road map, or a political weapon? In this episode of Thinking Christian, James Spencer sits down with pastor and author Zach Lambert to explore his new book Better Ways to Read the Bible. Together, they unpack four common but harmful lenses—literalism, apocalypticism, moralism, and hierarchy—and replace them with a healthier, Christ-centered, Spirit-guided approach grounded in humility, flourishing, and fruitfulness. This wide-ranging, incisive conversation covers everything from the misuse of Revelation and American foreign policy to the liberation theology debate, Rachel Held Evans, Jordan Peterson, and the way Jesus reframes the Old Testament. With warmth, nuance, and pastoral insight, James and Zach wrestle with how to let Scripture breathe—and how to read it not for confirmation, but for transformation.

We live in a culture where saying “I'm exhausted” is met with admiration. It's often seen as a badge of honor, especially among high-performing professionals. But what if your fatigue is not from effort, but from misalignment?In this episode of The Mindset Debrief, we challenge the idea that burnout always means you've worked too hard. The truth is, most people are not tired because they've done too much. They're tired because they've done too little of what truly matters. They're reacting instead of leading. Consuming instead of creating. Escaping instead of engaging.If you've ever felt like you're running on empty but can't point to anything meaningful you've done, this episode is for you. Through a blend of real-world reflection, purpose-driven insight, and clarity-first thinking, you'll discover how to reclaim your energy, not by resting more, but by focusing better.This isn't about hustle. It's about direction. It's about recognizing that in the uncertain space of personal or professional transition, what drains you isn't always the job. Sometimes, it's the distraction. And sometimes, it's the lack of clarity about where you're going next.This episode will challenge your assumptions about exhaustion, and show you how to refuel by recommitting to what matters most.Subscribe for weekly mindset insights focused on self-control, personal accountability, and showing up stronger every day.Share this episode with someone who's been waiting too long to begin.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: WEBSITE: LinkedIn: SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:SPONSORS:Trident CoffeeGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://tridentcoffee.comPromo Code: TDP15

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm absolutely honored to introduce you all to: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control, Secret Space Program and Montauk Project survivor and overcomer, visual artist, musician and songwriter, published writer and author, meditation practitioner and coach, spiritual guide and intuitive healer through his coaching business Antarean Journeys, gifted poet and Margaret Randall Poetry Prize winner, empath, dancing extraordinaire, starseed, dark chocolate lover, and absolute warrior: Alandra MarkmanBorn into a satanic family in New York, Alandra's early years were marred by the horrors of satanic ritual abuse, MK ULTRA, the Montauk Project - also known as the Rainbow Bridge, and the Secret Space Program. His lineage, carrying unique DNA tied to esoteric bloodlines, made him a target for a global network of exploitation, where he was subjected to ritualized torture and mind control programming from birth. As a child, Alandra endured extreme trauma, including ritualistic abuse orchestrated by a network involving high-profile figures and secret societies. Forced into roles such as a breeder for ritualized conception, his mind was fragmented through sophisticated trauma-based mind control techniques, designed to exploit his innate psychic abilities for espionage and occult purposes. These experiences left deep scars, both physical and psychological, with memories buried under layers of dissociation. Despite this, Alandra's spirit remained unbroken, and his journey toward healing began with a courageous escape from the cult that ensnared him, a pivotal act of defiance that set the stage for his remarkable transformation.The turning point in Alandra's healing came through years of dedicated work to integrate his fragmented memories. Escaping the cult was only the beginning; piecing together his memories and confronting the spiritual betrayal of a family cloaked in satanic deception required immense courage. His openness about his experiences with ritual abuse and programming, including the Montauk Project and Secret Space Program, validates the stories of other survivors, fostering a community of healing and disclosure.JOIN THE FULL DISCLOSURE CONFERENCE: https://www.fulldisclosure.live/CONNECT WITH ALANDRA: Email - Alandra@riseup.netAntarean Journeys - https://antareanjourneys.com/Poetry - https://poetryuponrequest.com/Website - https://www.alandramarkman.com/FB - https://www.facebook.com/alandra.markman.39/IG - https://www.instagram.com/alandramarkman/X - https://x.com/alandramarkmanCONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES: https://realrifetechnology.com/15% Code: 420CZTL METHELENE BLUE:Support the show

How to Dodge a Cannonball is a razor-sharp satire that dives into the heart of the Civil War, hilariously questioning the essence of the fight, not just for territory, but for the soul of America.How to Dodge a Cannonball (Henry Holt, 2025) is funnier than the Civil War should ever be. It follows Anders, a teenage idealist who enlists and reenlists to shape the American Future―as soon as he figures out what that is, who it includes, and why everyone wants him to die for it. Escaping his violently insane mother is a bonus.Anders finds honor as a proud Union flag twirler―until he's captured. Then he tries life as a diehard Confederate―until fate asks him to die hard for the Confederacy at Gettysburg. Barely alive, Anders limps into a Black Union regiment in a stolen uniform. While visibly white, he claims to be an octoroon, and they claim to believe him. Only then does his life get truly strange.His new brothers are even stranger, including a science-fiction playwright, a Haitian double agent, and a former slave feuding with God. Despite his best efforts, Anders starts seeing the war through their eyes, sparking ill-timed questions about who gets to be American or exploit the theater of war. Dennard Dayle's satire spares no one as doomed charges, draft riots, gleeful arms dealers, and native suppression campaigns test everyone's definition of loyalty.Uproariously funny and revelatory, How to Dodge a Cannonball asks if America is worth fighting for. And then answers loudly. Read it while it's still legal. You can find author Dennard Dayle at his newsletter. And I am your host, Sullivan Summer. You can find me online, on Instagram, and on Substack, where she and Dennard went to talk about Cannonball spoilers. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we embed ourselves deep inside the myth, the legend, the cautionary tale that is Fire Island. Our mission? To uncover the truth behind the infamous Belvedere Hotel, an all-nude, men-only boarding house perched just beyond the bounds of good judgment. What begins as an overnight getaway quickly spirals into blackouts at drag brunch, fighting for our lives in the Meat Rack, and late-night cruising that felt more like The Blair Witch Project than a vacation.
