In this episode, filmed in London, England, I am once again joined by Delson Armstrong, spiritual teacher, meditation virtuoso, and author of ”A Mind Without Craving”. Delson recounts his recent close encounter with death in severe floods in Missouri. He recalls fighting for his life as ten feet of water filled his retreat cabin, and how he escaped with deep laceration in his foot. Delson describes the surprising consequences of this experience including what he calls a “crotchety old man” attitude towards spiritual practice as entertainment or escapism, symptoms of trauma, and a new perspective on meditation and enjoying life. Delson also talks about the dimension of spiritual luminosity, why he hasn't meditated since the floods, his openness to a change in life direction, and the relationship between the will to live and the ego. … Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:01 - Delson's close encounter with death 06:07 - Pure survival instinct 08:47 - Escaping the flood 12:25 - Recovery 13:45 - Becoming a “crotchety old man” about spirituality 14:39 - Loosh and the demiurge 16:43 - Impatience with spiritual entertainment 17:25 - What's important when you die 17:55 - Delson and Steve sit in silence 23:12 - Luminosity and the thinking mind 26:29 - Delson's experience of luminosity 31:49 - Spiritual practice as escapism and avoidance 36:28 - How to embrace the present moment 40:53 - Delson's intention to live to the fullest 42:15 - Waves and the ocean 42:54 - The importance of the spiritual journey 47:38 - Is Delson traumatised? 51:51 - Jhana-assisted therapy? 55:07 - Why Delson hasn't meditated since the flood 57:38 - The spiritual ego 01:01:04 - There was no God that came at the point of death 01:02:14 - Meditation just for fun 01:04:01 - Surrender and openness to change of life direction 01:06:58 - Might Delson give up teaching? 01:08:26 - How to completely give up ...

8 weeks of meditation is enough to produce measurable changes in the connectivity of your prefrontal cortex. But most people won't do it because they don't see immediate results. My guest this week is Brandon Cowling, a neuroscience student at the University of Texas and the voice behind Brandon's Brainwave, where he's making the science of self-change something anyone can use. Predictive processing was the first idea that stopped me. Your brain is not showing you the world. It's showing you a filtered version based on beliefs you probably didn't choose. The lion is gone, but your amygdala still thinks the boss meeting is one, and your prefrontal cortex pays the price. Brandon describes long-term potentiation, why meditation measurably shifts the default mode network, and the concept of limbic friction, which reframes willpower as a design problem instead of a character flaw. If you've ever wondered why the phone wins every time, the answer is not that you're weak. You'll learn: [0:00] Introduction [3:45] Becoming your greatest self when your brain is wired to predict and protect [14:26] Simple but not easy, how practice physically rewires the brain [21:03] Deconstructing a 36-year habit and how quickly the brain can change [28:22] Phones prey on unconscious processes by design [35:21] Limbic friction and buying back mental real estate from decision fatigue [42:54] Escaping the cult of seriousness to explore the mystery of consciousness [53:32] Pornography's effect on the brain and refusing the defeatist mindset [59:42] Bridging neuroscience and spiritual awakening through the brain's built-in blueprint [1:04:54] Rejecting doom thinking and training your brain to spot opportunity  Resources Mentioned: Brick | Website Brain Performance Institute at the Center for Brain Health | Website Find more from Brandon: Brandon Cowling | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube Find more from Ste: Ste Lane | Instagram Radical Health Radio | Instagram | YouTube Heart and Soil Supplements | Website | Instagram | X | YouTube

Anika sat down with Nani Israel to explore how service-based founders and entrepreneurs can escape the trap of key-man risk, overcome perfectionism, and transition from hustle to strategic delegation. Drawing from her extensive background in digital marketing and her work as the founder of AirAssistant IO, Nani shared practical insights into building premium digital infrastructures, leveraging warm audiences through conversion events, and positioning businesses for high-ticket success. In This EpisodeScaling AirAssistant IO to install digital growth marketing infrastructures for service-based founders and consultantsMoving past key-man risk and breaking the trap where everything in the business depends on the founder's mood or memoryThe core realization that tying something as finite as time to something as infinite as money guarantees a ceiling on growthOvercoming the primary barriers to delegation: perfectionism, unnecessary work distractions, and fearLeveraging warm audiences through short-form conversion sprints and high-converting launch eventsHarnessing the power of human connection, strategic brand partnerships, and done-for-you elements in an AI-driven economy Timestamps00:01 Introduction: Uncovering stories, strategies, and secrets of thriving business leaders01:29 Nani Israel's daily life as a founder, mother, and creator of AirAssistant IO02:52 Key-man risk and the trap of wearing all the hats in a service-based business05:07 Finding purpose by solving a major problem and transitioning from charm school to digital infrastructure08:56 The difference between a hustle problem and a leverage problem, and investing in high-level mentorship17:48 Why perfectionism and distraction prevent founders from delegating authority and outcomes24:15 Pre-selling belief systems through indoctrination engines before sales calls begin31:45 The enduring power of human connection, done-for-you services, and strategic brand partnerships37:13 Special offers for listeners: scaling CEO assessments and multi-million dollar strategy vaults40:25 Guiding principle: making large amounts of money quickly by becoming the person capable of the journey Key Insights & TraitsInsight 1: Time is Finite, Money is Infinite Tying a finite resource like personal time to an infinite concept like income guarantees that a business owner will eventually hit a growth ceiling. True leverage requires building systems, automation, and delegation. Insight 2: Delegation Means Assigning Outcomes True delegation is not just handing off random tasks; it is assigning the ownership of specific departmental outcomes to people who are experts in their areas of genius, allowing the CEO to focus entirely on top-of-funnel visibility and bottom-of-funnel conversion. Insight 3: High-Ticket Pricing Requires Radical Self-Belief Founders often underprice their services due to scarcity mindsets. Shifting toward value-based pricing and serving a small, concise group of premium clients changes the entire economic model of a business. Insight 4: Marketing Fundamentals Never Change While artificial intelligence and automation enhance efficiency, the core drivers of business growth—human connection, relationship building, and strategic brand partnerships—remain timeless. Insight 5: Warm Audiences Drive Immediate Cash Injections Founders with small followings do not need massive cold traffic to scale. Tapping into existing email lists, text message databases, and social media followings through a targeted conversion sprint creates fast, high-converting revenue.

AVA GLASS Learn more about Ava Glass at https://www.avaglass.uk Ava Glass is the UK's biggest selling female spy writer with over 2million copies sold, who writes about the world of female spies from firsthand experience and has been dubbed the “female heir to James Bond” by James Patterson and “the new Queen of spy fiction” by The Guardian. Having worked in British intelligence for just shy of a decade, Ava Glass uses her novels to reveal the hidden world of female espionage in compelling and realistic spy writing that shatters the James Bond stereotype. Ava Glass's fourth novel The Hiding Season is published by Penguin Cornerstone in paperback on 13th August and explores the damage that spies do to those who accidentally cross their path, something Ava has experienced herself. In a completely fresh direction for Ava Glass, The Hiding Season is set in America's wild west state of Montana following an ordinary American woman running for her life after she witnesses the murder of one of America's most powerful senators – the perfect read for fans of hit shows The Night Manger and Yellowstone. Her many years working with MI6, MI5 and the FIB, mean that Ava Glass (not her real name) has signed the official secrets act, has been befriended, vetted and duped by spies, seen everything from the real Bond Girls – Britain's brigade of female spies; participated in terrorist simulations on British soil - where the British Government blow up more buildings than a Mission Impossible film so spies can practice for the real thing; and has some brilliant stories to share from the secret spy nod, secret spy doors, to why not to tussle with a spy in public. Prior to working with MI5 and MI6, Glass had a previous career as a crime reporter in the USA covering murders & kidnappings alongside the FBI and has written for the New York Times and Reuters. Ava also frequently appears on BBC Radio 4 and Sky News covering the latest spy stories. Current Release THE HIDING SEASON PENGUIN | 13 AUGUST 2026 Trust no one. Move fast. From the UK Queen of spy fiction, comes a brilliant new spy novel set in the heart of America. Exploring the damage that spies can do to those who become entangled with them, The Hiding Season follows an ordinary woman running for her life after she witnesses the murder of one of America's most powerful senators. Escaping from a broken marriage, Maya Landry moves to Bozeman, Montana, the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. Working at an exclusive private ski-resort in the off season, Maya's new life of quiet reflection in the mountains is going exactly as she'd hoped . . . until she stumbles across a dead body. With no phone signal, she races down the mountain to get help. But when she returns with the police, the body is gone and no-one believes her. Later that night Maya is told by FBI agent Riley Maguire that if she doesn't leave the state tonight, she'll be dead by morning. Forced to change her identity, leave everything behind and move across the country, Maya trusts Riley to keep her safe. But, when her hiding place is compromised, should she trust him? And are the feelings she's having towards him too good to be true? From a ski lodge in the Rocky Mountains to the Dirty Sixth in Austin, and from an anonymous safehouse in Texas to the headquarters of the FBI in Chicago, this is a page-turning, pulse-pounding thriller that explores the collateral damage of an FBI operation gone wrong.

Then the trip: Royal Air Maroc business class on Alaska miles (the seat is fine, the service is another story), a night in Lisbon that started with Uber chaos and ended at a rooftop sunset, and a TAP flight with seatmates Mark will never forget. The Azores themselves might be the best value trip in the Atlantic, with Hawaii-level scenery at mainland Europe prices, smoked pineapples, thermal springs, and an Amex FHR stay in Ponta Delgada. Plus how Mark dodged the Boston storms for free, whether he should have taken $700 to wait, and why short whirlwind trips are worth it for busy parents. Have you been to the Azores?

What if the next stage of growth in our business comes not from adding more, but from deliberately taking things away? In this episode, we examine the owner trap; how work stays on our plates because we are fast at it, familiar with it, and emotionally attached to being needed. We explore how complexity creeps into services, scheduling, pricing, communication, and client exceptions, and why every extra variation quietly raises the cost of running the business. We walk through a five-question subtraction audit: should this stop, can it be simpler, can we standardize it, can we automate it, and who should own it? By learning to remove what no longer deserves to exist, we can create more capacity for the work, people, and systems that actually move the business forward. Main topics: Escaping the owner dependency trap Reducing operational complexity deliberately Standardizing policies and exceptions Stopping work before automating it Building capacity through subtraction Main takeaway: "A better business isn't the one doing the most. It's the one that has figured out how to do fewer things exceptionally well." Growth has a funny way of convincing us that the answer is always more. More services. More software. More meetings. More processes. More exceptions. But every new thing we add creates something that has to be priced, trained, scheduled, communicated, monitored, and eventually handed off. Sometimes the best thing we can do as business owners is stop asking, "How can I get this off my plate?" and start asking, "Does this need to exist at all?" Before you automate it, delegate it, or write another SOP for it, give yourself permission to remove it. Your next stage of growth might not come from adding another thing.

What followed was hours of combat in Fallujah.Then, on April 7, everything changed.While moving through the city in an M1 Abrams, Alex spotted armed fighters appearing with RPGs and AK-47s. Moments later, an RPG struck the tank commander's hatch.His tank commander lost his right eye.Alex was hit by shrapnel and badly wounded in both hands.But surviving the battlefield was only the beginning.Alex also opens up about returning home, losing the career and identity he thought he would have, struggling with his mental health years after the war, seeking help, and eventually trying to rediscover a sense of purpose through service and teaching others.This is a story about war, brotherhood, injury, identity, and what happens when the fighting stops but the battle isn't necessarily over.CHAPTERS:00:00 — The RPG Attack in Fallujah01:10 — Growing Up in East LA06:16 — His Grandfather Inspires Him to Serve07:33 — 9/11 Changes Everything09:24 — Proving He Could Become a Marine11:12 — Injured During Boot Camp13:27 — The Marine Who Never Made It Home16:54 — Becoming an M1 Abrams Tank Mechanic19:07 — Arriving at 29 Palms22:21 — Preparing for War25:23 — Heading to Iraq28:42 — First Incoming Fire30:04 — Life Inside an Abrams Tank36:45 — Blackwater Killings and Fallujah38:09 — The Battle Begins40:46 — 13 Hours of Combat44:50 — April 7th45:30 — Watching an RPG Fly Toward the Tank47:04 — Drawing Fire Away From the Marines48:59 — RPG Strikes the Tank49:21 — “I'm Pissing Out Blood”50:47 — Escaping the Burning Tank51:31 — Surgery and Recovery53:57 — Returning to the Fight57:43 — His Wife Deploys to Iraq58:30 — Coming Home1:02:12 — Losing His Sense of Purpose1:04:29 — Mental Health Begins to Collapse1:06:33 — Calling the Crisis Line1:07:58 — Finally Finding the Right Help1:09:46 — Learning How to Move Forward1:11:27 — Finding Purpose Again1:12:14 — “Pick Your Head Up and Continue to March”

Transhumanism. Space colonization. Virtual reality. ASI. Immortality. These are all visions which revolve around escape. Escaping from the human condition. Escaping from our planet. Escaping from reality. Running, running, running away in a mad scramble to get anywhere but here. Reading by Tim Foley.

Do you constantly find yourself dreaming about your next vacation, the weekend, or just getting away from everyone for a little while? There's nothing wrong with needing rest, but what if you're not just tired? What if your life feels like it is asking too much of you? In this episode of Making Shift Happen, we're talking about how to build a life you don't constantly need to escape from. We'll look at boundaries, capacity, rest, relationships, and – perhaps most importantly – communication. Because sometimes what you actually need isn't another coping strategy, but instead it's having a conversation you've been avoiding. We'll talk about how to recognize what your “escape fantasies” might be telling you, have crucial conversations with the people who place demands on you, communicate your needs without waiting until you're resentful, and make your everyday life more livable.

We met Joudeh in his new home in San Diego. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy

You built a firm with great clients, steady profit, and a name that means something. But if you stepped away tomorrow, would any of it still be standing? For a lot of accomplished attorneys, the honest answer is no — and that means the practice you built may own you more than you own it.In this episode, Gary sits down with M&A advisor Brian Zapf to unpack a truth most law firm owners discover too late: a practice built entirely around one person often can't be sold at all. Brian shares the personal loss that reshaped his career, walks through what buyers actually pay for, and shows why the changes that make a firm sellable are the very same ones that give an owner their life back now. If you're thinking about succession, an exit, or simply taking a real vacation, this conversation is your early warning and your roadmap.Key takeaways:Diagnose your firm's founder-dependency before a health scare or burnout forces a rushed, discounted sale.Apply the WORTH score — Works without you, Organized operations, Repeatable systems, right Team, Healthy stats and story.Shift from heroics to stewardship: stop being the single point of failure your firm can't survive without.Start by dumping every task out of your head, then hand off what doesn't truly require you.Understand how private equity and MSO structures are changing law firm valuations and creating new options.Define where you want to be in five years before building the plan to get there.About the guest: Brian Zapf is an M&A advisor and strategic CFO for founder-led law firms, and the founder of Flight Financial. A CPA and Certified Exit Planning Advisor with two decades in finance and dealmaking, he helps owners build practices that hold real value and can run — and sell — without them.If this episode spoke to you, subscribe so you never miss a conversation, and leave a review to help other attorneys find the show.

He helps estate planning and business law owners build practices that hold real, transferable value — firms that can run and sell without depending on one person. A CPA and Certified Exit Planning Advisor with two decades in finance and dealmaking, Brian has worked both sides of the M&A table, so he knows exactly what buyers pay for and how to build it before a sale. His mission is deeply personal: after watching his father's 40-year medical practice prove unsellable, he committed to sparing other owners that same outcome — an approach he sums up as stewardship over heroics.Would you like to learn what it looks like to become a truly Free Lawyer?

Jack Raines turned $6,000 into roughly $400,000 trading SPACs, then lost $157,000 in three minutes after taking a very different bet. The author of Young Money joins Matt Zeigler to discuss what that experience taught him about investing risk, the urge to chase more, and the time a growing portfolio can cost you.The conversation follows Jack Raines from SPAC warrants and market narratives to a broader question: how do you allocate money, time, and risk to build a life you actually want? They explore the limits of a trading edge, why cheap stocks can get cheaper, and how debt, career choices, and status shape the decisions investors make beyond their portfolios.Young Money: A Field Guide to Wealth and Purpose in Your Twentieshttps://amzn.to/4AtUsDoJack Raines' Young Money newsletterhttps://www.youngmoney.co/Jack Raines on Xhttps://twitter.com/Jack_RainesTopics covered:How Jack Raines grew his Roth IRA through SPAC warrants and pre-merger common shares, and why those positions carried different risks.Why an edge in one corner of the market did not translate into a successful concentrated earnings bet.How a million-dollar target and constant account checking changed Jack Raines' relationship with money and time.What SEC filings, Discord research, and market narratives contributed to his trading process.Why Jack Raines bought Figma after questioning the market's AI narrative and speaking with designers.Applying portfolio thinking to careers, creative projects, and opportunities that change with each stage of life.Weighing retirement saving against other opportunities, and why Jack Raines treats expensive debt as a constraint on taking risks.Escaping the "someday" trap while giving long-term venture investments time to develop.Combining steady income and index funds with independent bets, while treating status as a tool rather than a goal.Why Jack Raines believes investors learn about risk through experience, with stakes they can afford to recover from.Timestamps:00:00 Jack Raines on the lessons of losing money04:57 Inside the SPAC trades and the $157,000 loss15:16 Separating market hype from downside math22:18 Building a life with portfolio principles29:45 Retirement saving, trading obsession, and the cost of time36:56 Debt, freedom, and the trap of waiting for someday44:33 Venture investing: acting quickly and waiting patiently51:03 Using status without making it the goal56:08 The investing lesson experience has to teachLearn more about the Excess Returns podcast network:https://excessreturns.coNo information discussed in this podcast should be construed as investment advice.

Have you ever known an impulsive decision would probably end badly and still felt like you had to do it anyway?In this episode of The BPD Bunch, Xannie, Mo, Céline, and Melanie talk about what actually helped them manage BPD impulsivity, from sleeping on decisions and distracting themselves long enough for an urge to pass to checking their choices against their values.They also get into the deeper part: why impulsivity can become a way of escaping emotions, why consequences don't always stop the behavior, how they learned to trust their judgment, and what changed as impulsive urges became less intense during recovery.Topics include:*BPD and impulsivity*Acting on intense emotions*DBT skills for impulsive urges*Escaping and avoiding emotions*Thinking through consequences*Trusting your own judgment*Core values and decision-making*Reducing impulsivity in BPD recoveryIf you've ever looked back at an impulsive decision and wondered why the consequences felt so obvious afterward but not in the moment, this conversation is for you_____This season, we're discussing BPD through the lens of the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD). To meet criteria for BPD in this model, a person must have difficulties in at least two areas of personality functioning (Criterion A): identity, self direction, empathy, or intimacy, along with four or more pathological personality traits (Criterion B): emotional lability, anxiousness, separation insecurity, and depressivity (which are sub-traits of negative affectivity), impulsivity and risk taking (sub-traits of disinhibition), and hostility (a sub-trait of antagonism).In the first two episodes of the season, Dr. Carla Sharp, Dr. Frank Yeomans, and Dr. Alex Stein explain what the AMPD is, how it changes from the current categorical model, and how the BPD diagnosis is changing.

Ben Humble escaped communist Romania as a kid, lived in a refugee camp, moved to Canada, failed math twice, started a cleaning business... and somehow ended up doing hundreds of real estate deals.So yeah, we had a lot to talk about.Ben joins Cam and me for a conversation about his journey into real estate, the lessons he learned after trying just about every strategy in the book, and the framework that eventually changed the way he looks at buying properties entirely.We also get into a surprisingly deep conversation about ego, humility, social media, and whether successful people have a responsibility to share what they've learned.In this episode:

In this episode, Lauren sits down with Dara Melnick, a licensed therapist who has lived with T1D for 38 years, to talk about the side of “good” diabetes management beyond the numbers.Dara spent years trying to keep her numbers as perfect as possible. She tested her blood sugar up to 30 times a day before CGMs, developed strict rules around food, and eventually stopped eating breakfast to avoid the spike. Her A1C looked great, but managing T1D was exhausting. Through Risely coaching, Dara learned how to loosen those rules without sacrificing the blood sugars she had worked so hard for. Today, she has a 5.7 A1C while eating based on what her body is asking for, salmon and sourdough or Cheez-Its and pretzels.Lauren and Dara also get into what 38 years with T1D has taught Dara as a therapist, a mom, and a woman, from using the “power of the pause” when diabetes goes sideways to why asking for help can be one of the most powerful things you do for yourself.WHAT WE COVER:How trying to keep her blood sugar “perfect” led Dara to a 6.1 A1C, testing up to 30 times a day, and eventually skipping breakfast altogetherThe Risely secrets that helped Dara go from strict food rules to a 5.7 A1C while eating what she craved, when she craved itWhen “good” diabetes management crosses the line into diabetes controlling your lifeWhat led Dara to ask for help even though she's a licensed therapist who'd managed T1D for decadesThe “power of the pause” and how Dara uses it to respond instead of react to CGM readingsWhat T1D has taught Dara about raising her 10 and 13-year-old kids, including the lesson they learned when she suddenly went low on a family hikeWHAT'S NEXT:

Escaping Optimization Culture to Restore Health, Meaning, and a Life That Fits with Ramona Roemer & Andreas Heigl    Some of the healthiest-looking patients Ramona Roemer and Andreas Heigl have ever treated were also the most quietly falling apart. Two decades of running a private longevity clinic taught them something the wellness industry doesn't advertise: chasing perfect numbers can make people feel worse, not better.   If you've ever tracked every metric you could find and still didn't feel like you had answers, this conversation names exactly what's missing. Ramona and Andreas explain the pattern they see over and over in the patients who fly in from around the world to see them, and why the fix usually has less to do with adding another protocol and more to do with subtracting one.   What was covered: Why patients with textbook-perfect lab values are often the most depleted and disconnected people they treat A leaky gut case that standard medicine treated as a diet problem for over a year, until a very different root cause surfaced Why fragmented specialist care creates real clinical mistakes, and who ends up compiling the report nobody double-checks How they define purpose with clients as a "North Star," something that changes shape but not direction across a life Epigenetic patterns and inherited trauma that show up physically long before anyone can name where they came from Why the patients who track the least often seem the most at peace with themselves   About Ramona Roemer & Andreas Heigl: Ramona Roemer and Andreas Heigl are co-founders of VIMED CELL, a private longevity clinic based in Switzerland and Germany. Together, they work closely with high performing individuals across diverse cultural and personal contexts, combining advanced diagnostics and cell-based therapies with cognitive, emotional, energetic, and purpose-oriented perspectives. Their work is shaped by years of hands-on experience with highly individualized cases, revealing a recurring pattern: people doing more for their health, yet experiencing less clarity. Their book, Unlongevity, challenges the assumptions driving modern longevity culture and offers an integrative alternative. Rather than adding more protocols, their approach focuses on discernment, timing, and alignment - helping individuals move beyond fragmented health optimization toward a more integrated and sustainable state of coherence.   Links: Website: www.unlongevity.com (alternative: www.vimedcell.com ) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramona-roemer/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unlongevity/   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Dr. Laura welcomes Fab Morvan, artist, singer, songwriter, performer, speaker, and former member of Milli Vanilli, to Where Work Meets Life™ for a powerful conversation about resilience, healing, and personal reinvention. Fab takes Dr. Laura behind the public story of Milli Vanilli to share what it was like to be a young artist who found himself trapped in an arrangement he didn't fully understand and how it felt to eventually become one of the most visible faces of a global music scandal. He reflects on being trapped financially and in terms of his reputation, losing trust in the people around him, and living with the intense stigma that followed. Through it all, Fab describes how music became an essential part of his healing and how curiosity, creativity, and determination helped him rebuild his confidence, his career, and, ultimately, his relationship with himself. Fab and Dr. Laura explore what his journey can teach anyone whose life or career has been shattered by circumstances they never expected. Fab shares how he learned to step away from being co-dependent, say no, forgive the people who hurt him, and forgive himself. He explains why authenticity became central to who he is today and how listening to his inner voice helped him silence self-doubt. Now a father of four, Fab speaks about love as an emotional compass and shares his excitement about his upcoming memoir, Blame It on the Game, new music, and the freedom of creating on his own terms. His story is an invitation to recognize that painful experiences don't have to define the future and that rebuilding is possible when people reconnect with themselves, put in the work, and find the courage to move forward. "The truth takes the stairs while the lies take the elevator. But the truth always comes up, always prevails. Might take a long time sometimes, but it will show up." - Fab Morvan About Fab Morvan: Paris-born Fabrice Morvan first met his future partner, Rob Pilatus, in Munich at a local club. The two penniless teenagers—17 and 19 years old—jumped at the chance to sign a contract with German producer Frank Farian. Within months, they had created a captivating stage show that would go on to amaze millions. Milli Vanilli sold more than 7 million copies of their debut album, Girl You Know It's True, in the U.S. alone. The duo quickly rose to MTV stardom, becoming one of the biggest musical acts of the late 1980s and early 1990s, with worldwide sales exceeding 30 million singles and 10 million albums. Along the way, they were drawn into a notorious lip-syncing scandal, which ultimately led them to publicly return their Grammy Award for “Best New Artist” in 1990. For decades, Fab Morvan has been at the center of one of pop culture's most infamous controversies. With his recent Grammy nomination, his journey of resilience and reinvention has entered a powerful new chapter. Today, his story resonates more than ever—one of redemption, honesty, and the courage to reclaim his own voice.

What if the most valuable asset you can build as an entrepreneur is not your company, but your relationships?Jayson Gaignard built one of Canada's largest ticket-wholesaling businesses, only to realize he had created a company he hated. When circumstances left him approximately $250,000 in debt, with a six-month-old daughter and a new marriage, he began investing in the one thing no one could take from him: his relationships.That decision eventually led Jayson to create MMT, an invite-only entrepreneurial community built around intentional connection, carefully curated experiences, and the belief that success should never be pursued alone.In this episode of From Start-Up to Grown-Up, executive coach and bestselling author Alisa Cohn sits down with Jayson to explore how entrepreneurs can build meaningful professional relationships, make the most of conferences, overcome social anxiety, and develop the courage to enter rooms where they do not yet feel they belong.Jayson also shares the story behind buying 4,000 copies of Tim Ferriss's book, his “eight seconds of courage” strategy for doing intimidating things, and the leadership decision that put nearly $2 million at risk during the pandemic.This is a candid conversation about entrepreneurial community, relationship building, leadership, discomfort, comparison, and why proximity to the right people can change the trajectory of your life.You'll learn:How Jayson turned a financial and personal crisis into a new entrepreneurial pathWhy meaningful relationships are among the safest investments a founder can makeHow to build an aspirational network before you have status or connectionsWhy attending the right events can accelerate years of relationship buildingHow to prepare for conferences and follow up before the excitement fadesHow “eight seconds of courage” can help you move through social anxietyWhy MMT prioritizes character and connection over financial successHow Jayson made an integrity-driven decision involving nearly $2 millionWhy comparison can quietly damage otherwise meaningful relationshipsHow founders can balance ambition with their health and long-term well-beingWe talk about:00:00 Meet Jayson Gaignard, founder of MMT and author of Community Made03:12 Building a successful business he ultimately hated05:00 Facing $250,000 in debt and searching for what came next06:00 Why Jayson began investing in relationships07:00 Buying 4,000 copies of Tim Ferriss's book09:16 Using regret minimization to make difficult decisions12:00 How the right room can change your life16:06 Building an aspirational network from scratch22:22 How to make the most of conferences and large events28:15 Managing social anxiety through preparation29:45 Using eight seconds of courage to do hard things34:07 Why personal growth requires discomfort37:47 Building MMT as an invite-only entrepreneurial community42:48 Leading a community like a company45:15 Making a nearly $2 million decision during the pandemic47:19 Why leaders cannot avoid difficult conversations49:06 Escaping comparison and jealousy around successful peers55:20 The long-term cost of entrepreneurial stress56:51 Jayson's advice for founders growing into leadersFollow Jayson onLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaysongaignard/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaysongaignard Website: https://www.jaysongaignard.com/ Read Community Made: The Truth About Success and the Relationships That Create ItConnect with Alisa!Follow Alisa Cohn on Instagram: @alisacohnTwitter: @alisacohnFacebook: facebook.com/alisa.cohnLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alisacohn/Website: http://www.alisacohn.comDownload her 5 scripts for delicate conversations (and 1 to make your life better) Grab a copy of From Start-Up to Grown-Up by Alisa Cohn from Amazon

In this message, Pastor Marco takes us through Genesis 6–7, where humanity's depravity has reached its height and God brings judgment upon the earth. But God shows favor to Noah and his family and provides a way of escape through the ark. In the same way, God has provided a way of salvation from the coming judgment through Jesus. Our response is to trust Him and obey His Word, just as Noah “did all that God had commanded.”

Former Bad Boy rapper G. Dep sits down to tell one of the most unbelievable stories in hip-hop history. Growing up in Harlem during the height of the crack era, G. Dep went from hustling in the streets and battling drug addiction to landing a record deal with Bad Boy Entertainment and becoming one of the label's rising stars. But behind the success, the music, and the fame was a secret that continued to haunt him. In 1993, at just 18 years old, G. Dep was involved in a fatal shooting in Harlem. He was never arrested for it and eventually moved on with his life, signing with Bad Boy and building a successful rap career. But nearly two decades later, the guilt became too much. In December 2010, G. Dep walked into a New York City police precinct and confessed to the crime — 17 years after it happened. In this episode, G. Dep opens up about growing up in New York City, selling drugs, getting arrested repeatedly, discovering hip-hop, signing with Bad Boy, working around Diddy and some of the biggest names in rap, battling addiction, and the incredible decision that ultimately sent him to prison. He also explains what was going through his mind when he confessed, why he was willing to face the consequences, his trial and prison sentence, the road to clemency, and what it feels like to finally be free and making music again. This is the story of G. Dep — from the streets of Harlem to Bad Boy Records, prison, redemption, and a second chance at life. Go Support G. Deb!

Have you ever read the story of Jonah? It's famous for second chances, but we often forget that Jonah wasn't the only character with a second chance. Come join us at Fusion Christian Church as we study the book of Jonah. In week 2, Pastor Zac talks about Jonah's attempt to escape from God.Sin always has consequences.When Jonah ran from God, he probably hoped that there would not be any consequences. He probably hoped that God would choose someone else and leave him alone. God doesn't work like that. Instead, God sent a storm after Jonah to remind him that his sin had consequences. One aspect of this that we often forget is that there is really no such thing as a "private" sin. Our sin affects the people around us even if we cannot directly perceive how.Escaping reality doesn't change reality.Often we try to avoid the consequences of our sin through a number of coping mechanisms and distractions. We might choose sleep, medication, alcohol, social media, video games, or any number of other "escapes." Ultimately, we cannot escape reality because reality is built on top of God himself. There is no way to evade reality just as there is no way to evade God. The best option is to reach out to God rather than to run from him.The door is still open.Until death, the door is always open for us to run back to God. He is always waiting for us to return to him, and he may be sending us constant messages to remind us of him. Jonah needed a storm to be sent to remind him to go back to God. Perhaps we need equally strong reminders in our own life. Either way, God is drawing us to himself, and once we have accepted the call we are to help draw others. God wants us to participate with him in the mission of spreading the gospel around the world. Will you take up that calling? Or will you try to escape the inescapable God?

Would you put your kids in public schools in El Salvador, 40 to a class and no English spoken, to give them a future you couldn't see in Canada? Charity Hagenaars did. Her family of five lives on $3,000 to $3,500 a month, and if you've searched cost of living in El Salvador you've probably seen her videos on living in El Salvador. What you can't see from a video is whether rent in El Salvador comes with a stove, or whether a public school takes report cards printed in Ontario.I sat down with Charity, a retired Canadian government worker, former foster parent, and YouTuber who moved her family from Ontario to Lourdes in August 2024. Her $850 house has four bedrooms and sits in a complex with pools and soccer fields, where six families of expats living in El Salvador have built a small community. Getting there meant Marketplace listings that were photos of posters on telephone poles, and leases where leaving early costs the full year.Car shopping took a friend, a mechanic, and seven phone numbers, because the Chivo ATM caps withdrawals at $1,000 a day per number and she needed $7,000 in cash for a car she ended up passing on. Opening a bank account took a residency card and an hour in the waiting room, and then Banco Agrícola made her wait three months before YouTube could wire her a dollar. Bitcoin and Wise carried the family's money down instead. She'll also tell you what happened at Dollar City when the cashier skipped Lightning.The school story is the honest one. Her daughter got the same classmates two years running, was bullied, and stopped learning, so she's in a homeschool hub now. Her older son is out too, halfway through grade 11. Charity funded the school's parking lot and paint through her channel anyway. Then there's the spare bedroom. Two months ago Maria, the grandmother of two boys from Charity's Saturday English class, lost her home, and Charity offered the room. The boys swim every day.Her WhatsApp group grew to almost 200 members, about 30% already here, four more arriving this week. Some came to retire in El Salvador on a pension, and young families came because they couldn't see a future where they were. If you want an expat El Salvador group that screens out the salesmen, she runs one. Charity describes what it costs a foreigner to live here so nobody arrives with the wrong picture, then chose to stay and put eight people under one roof. That's what belief in this country looks like! If you're weighing moving to El Salvador with kids or a pension, listen to this one.—Bitcoin Beach TeamLearn more about Charity Hagenaars:X: https://x.com/HagenaarsFamilyWhatsApp: 503-7291-1480Website: https://hagenaars.com/Email Address: YouTube@Hagenaars.comYouTube Channel(Main): https://www.youtube.com/@HagenaarsFamilyYouTube Channel(2nd): https://www.youtube.com/MakingItInElSalvadorSupport and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com STAY AT BITCOIN BEACH: https://www.stayatbitcoinbeach.com/punta-mango-villasBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro02:53 Why are Bitcoiners moving to El Salvador from Canada?07:23 Is Canada safe for Bitcoiners after frozen bank accounts and the trucker convoy?09:10 How to rent a house in El Salvador as a foreigner12:47 Where do expats live in El Salvador: Lourdes, the beach, or San Salvador?15:47 How to buy a used car in El Salvador and what to check first25:40 How do expats move money into El Salvador with Bitcoin, Chivo ATM, Wise, and banks?35:46 How much does it cost to live in El Salvador for a family of five?42:15 What is life like for an expat family in El Salvador?48:15 Are public schools in El Salvador good for expat kids, or is homeschooling better? Live From Bitcoin Beach

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with internationally recognized author Richard Barrett to explore his groundbreaking book, The Architecture of Human Consciousness: The Hidden Structures Shaping Human Evolution. Are you reacting to reality, or merely viewing the world through the distorted lens of your unintegrated fears? Barrett shatters traditional views of self-improvement, revealing that true growth isn't about building a new self—it's about unmasking who you truly are by confronting the protective shadows that hide your soul. Together, they unpack the revolutionary Triadic Model—which maps 7 levels of depth and 9 worldviews into 63 distinct ways of being—to explain how shrinking identities trigger political polarization and personal anxiety. By dismantling "the myth of arrival," Barrett offers a captivating look at how releasing the illusion of a final endpoint allows us to gracefully unfold our potential and align with universal intelligence.

Joshua Bentz grew up in Connecticut, watched his parents split, felt unwanted by his mother, took to the streets, became a White Crip, cycled through juvenile detention, Connecticut state prison, and eventually the federal prison system — navigating addiction, prison politics, gang life, and the specific difficulty of finding work as a felon — before finally finding sobriety and the turning point that everything that life had cost him desperately needed. _____________________________________________  #federalprison #prisonstory #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Maye Musk is a model, dietician, and author. But before any of that success, she was 50 years old, newly single, and unable to make rent. Today, Maye joins Nicole to talk about her new memoir, Timeless, and the financial reinvention that came after everything fell apart. Maye opens up about the financial abuse she experienced in her first marriage, including how her ex-husband removed her signing rights from their joint account and took her savings, and why she still advises women to keep some money of their own, no matter how it might be received. She shares what it was like starting over in a new city with almost nothing, working her way back from a $2,000-a-month apartment she could barely afford, and the confidence it took to build two entirely new careers from scratch in her 50s. Then, Maye and Nicole get into why she didn't become a full-time model until her 60s, how she reframes aging as an asset instead of something to hide, and the mindset that let her keep saying yes to jobs, rejection, and reinvention well past the age most people consider their prime.

I sat down with Dr. Shefali, clinical psychologist trained at Columbia and the voice behind the Conscious Parenting Movement for over two decades, to explore what it really means to parent from awareness instead of ego. We talk about the illusion of the perfect parent, why children are our greatest mirrors, and how the wounds we carry from our own childhoods get passed down unless we do the work to see them clearly. Dr. Shefali doesn't offer a script. She offers a practice of humility, one that asks us to look at ourselves before we look at our kids.What We Dive Into:1. Dr. Shefali explains that most parenting struggles trace back to ego, the desire to control, to be right, to see your child as an extension of your own unmet dreams. Real conscious parenting means constantly questioning whether your actions come from your child's essence or your own unresolved story.2. Without rites of passage or male mentors, boys are left to figure out masculinity through porn and the manosphere. Dr. Shefali argues that testosterone, purpose, and physical challenge need healthy outlets, and that community, not isolation, is what turns raw masculine energy into something protective and grounded.3. Dr. Shefali describes how social media exploits children's developing brains, especially girls', feeding insecurity and manufacturing endless standards to chase. She calls it algorithmic abduction, a process that outsources parenting itself and leaves children disconnected from their own inner voice.Know Thyself, but not by yourself.

Donald interviews C Derick Varn and Daniel Tutt, authors of "The People Are Not One" in the wake of their recent tour promoting their book. With MAGA losing steam and centrist liberalism, a left-wing populist movement within the Democratic Party seems to be on the rise. Our guests bring their work to bear on this phenomenon, discussing the long-term viability of left populism (and premature obituaries), their debate with Geese Magazine, the fraught discourse around "wokeness" and escaping the framings of the bourgeois media, the question of the PMC and their unique take on it and how the internet has impacted mass politics.

Hip-hop once raged against the machine—but did it eventually become the machine?In this solo episode of the Ern & Iso Podcast, Ern tackles one of hip-hop's biggest contradictions: a culture born from rebellion, struggle and giving a voice to overlooked communities becoming one of the world's most profitable industries.From glorifying drug dealers while condemning snitches, to artists speaking against exploitation while profiting from street imagery, violence and trauma, Ern asks where storytelling ends and exploitation begins.The conversation also examines the divide between hip-hop generations, the disappearance of radio as a place for breaking local artists, streaming economics, the loss of mixtape culture and why so many rappers eventually use hip-hop as a stepping stone into another industry.Success isn't the problem. Escaping poverty isn't selling out. Building wealth isn't betraying where you came from.But what happens when you escape the struggle while continuing to sell the struggle?Did hip-hop defeat the machine, join the machine—or become the very thing it once fought against?Tap in with Ern for a conversation about hip-hop's past, present and what could happen to the culture if it refuses to evolve.

CAPTOPN 1846 IRELAND FOOD RIOTEscaping Famine Saving Pennies Finding FootholdsTyler Anbinder, author of Plentiful Country: The Great Potato Famine and the Making of Irish New York, Part One: This discussion details the Famine Irish's harrowing escape to New York and their early survival. Starting with Kate Murphy's emotional return to Irish soil in 1896, the narrative traces the potato blight's biological origins in South American guano and damp Irish weather. British landlords cleared estates, sending tenants on deadly coffin ships to America. Arriving destitute, immigrants crowded into Five Points' notorious Old Brewery tenement and undertook grueling construction day labor. Traumatized by starvation, they diligently saved money in the Emigrant Savings Bank, while ambitious entrepreneurs like tailor George Fox and charcoal peddlers forged early paths to prosperity. (1)
