In the beginning, there was nothing but air. The supreme being breathed upon it, and the air became water. Air and water moved together, forming mud. Seeing its shape, the supreme being breathed again – and life began. Today, we'll be exploring this creation story – born of Afro-Brazilian philosophy – forged under conditions of extreme violence, displacement, and resistance. During the transatlantic slave trade, more than four million Africans were forcibly taken to Brazil – far more than were sent to the United States. They brought with them their gods, their rituals, and their philosophies. Despite sustained efforts to suppress them, these traditions not only survived, but developed into sophisticated systems of thought that remain living practices today. We'll be exploring these traditions with José Eduardo Porcher Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. José is currently Director of the Spiritual Realities, Relationality, and Flourishing: Brazilian Contributions to Philosophy of Religion project, and has been centrally involved in a number of major research initiatives examining alternative approaches to philosophy of religion – including the John Templeton funded project Expanding the Philosophy of Religion by Engaging with Afro-Brazilian Traditions. In this episode, we'll explore the Afro-Brazilian religious tradition of Candomblé: its account of creation, its distinctive conception of God and the deities, and its striking vision of a world enchanted by a vital life-force that flows through people, objects, nature, and the divine. We'll ask what it means to live in a world where gods possess human bodies, where objects can be sacred, and where divinity is powerful yet limited. And we'll consider what these traditions might teach us about evil, responsibility, nature, and how to live well in a world that is far stranger than Western philosophy ever thought. This episode is produced in partnership with The Global Philosophy of Religion Project at University of Birmingham, funded by the John Templeton Foundation.

After two turbulent decades in the ice trade, Frederic Tudor had finally made it. Expanding into the American South had paid off, with cities like New Orleans delivering steady profit. But Tudor's insatiable appetite for risk kept pushing him to bet everything – again and again – even as losses mounted and disaster loomed.As he entered his 50s, Tudor seemed ready to slow down. But when he was offered the opportunity to ship his ice halfway around the world to India, he couldn't resist expanding his business once more. And just when it seemed he had mastered the trade he built from nothing, one final gamble threatened to undo everything he'd spent decades building.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Slavery did not end in the nineteenth century—it persists today, hidden in global supply chains, religious justifications, and systems of power. Kevin Bales and Michael Rota join Evan Rosa to explore modern slavery through history, psychology, and theology, asking why it remains so difficult to see and confront.“It's time some person should see these calamities to their end.” (Thomas Clarkson, 1785)“There are millions of slaves in the world today.” (Kevin Bales, 2025)In this episode, they consider how conscience, power, and religious belief can either sustain enslavement or become forces for abolition. Together they discuss the psychology of slaveholding, faith's complicity and resistance, Quaker abolitionism, modern debt bondage, ISIS and Yazidi slavery, and what meaningful action looks like today.https://freetheslaves.net/––––––––––––––––––Episode Highlights“There are millions of slaves in the world today.”“Statistics isn't gonna do it.

Was the American Revolution just a regional rebellion on the eastern seaboard, or something far larger? Professor Richard Bell, author of The American Revolution and the Fate of the World, argues it was a geopolitical earthquake that reshaped the global order. In this episode, Bell explores how France, Spain, and the Netherlands entered the conflict for their own strategic reasons, why Jamaica mattered more to Britain than Virginia, and how foreign intervention proved decisive at battles like Yorktown. Along the way, he shares remarkable stories: Benjamin Franklin organizing his own privateering fleet from Paris, 50,000 ordinary Americans taking to the seas as state-sponsored pirates, and Harry Washington, a man enslaved at Mount Vernon who escaped to British lines and eventually led his own anti-colonial revolution in Sierra Leone. A fresh perspective on America's founding as a truly global event.Timestamps00:54 The American Revolution as a Global Conflict04:55 The British Empire and the Value of Jamaica07:27 Expanding the Patriot Coalition Beyond 13 Colonies09:44 Why France Joined the War13:21 Spain's Strategic Goals: Gibraltar and the Caribbean17:16 Dutch Financial Support and the St. Eustatius Arms Trade19:34 How Foreign Intervention Boosted British Morale24:06 From Philadelphia to Yorktown: Foreign Aid on the Battlefield27:11 Patriot Privateers and the War on British Commerce38:28 Harry Washington: From Mount Vernon to Sierra LeoneHost: Jeff SikkengaExecutive Producer: Jeremy GyptonSubscribe: https://linktr.ee/theamericanideaHomepage: https://ashbrook.org/the-american-idea-podcast/

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Do you feel constantly worried about shrinking organic visibility, heavier ad pressure, and constant change? Running an agency has never been a straight line. Platforms change, algorithms shift, and what worked five years ago can quietly stop working overnight. Organic visibility is shrinking, ads are getting more expensive, and uncertainty feels constant. Today's featured guest knows that reality and will share her journey from agency employee to founder of a 43-person local SEO agency, along with her honest perspective on Google, AI, remote teams, and why growing bigger can actually create more freedom and impact when done for the right reasons. Joy Hawkins is the founder and owner of Sterling Sky, a specialized local SEO agency focused on helping businesses rank on Google Maps and local search results. She has been working in the SEO industry since 2006 and is widely known for her deep understanding of how Google's algorithm works, especially in local search. Sterling Sky is a fully remote agency with team members spread across Canada and the United States. What started as a small consulting experiment has grown into a 43-person team over eight years. In this episode, we'll discuss: Google, AI, and the future of local SEO Why SEO agencies must diversify to survive Building a fully remote team.

From Agency Employee to Founder of a Local SEO Agency After more than a decade inside agencies, Joy realized she was more interested in how systems worked than in selling them. When disagreements about services and sales responsibilities reached a breaking point, she decided to try consulting (fully prepared to dip into savings and return to a job if needed). Clients came faster than expected. Eight years later, that experiment has grown into a 43-person remote agency. Google, AI, and the Future of Local SEO One of the biggest challenges Joy sees in the industry right now is the pace of change inside Google's ecosystem. Features are constantly being swapped out, organic real estate is shrinking, and small businesses are feeling the impact more than ever. While agencies can usually adapt, clients often struggle because Google still represents such a large percentage of their lead flow. A major concern Joy sees is how Google is pushing more ads and limiting organic exposure, especially in local results. On mobile devices, users are now seeing local service ads dominate the top of the screen, followed by AI-driven local results that are shrinking from three listings down to one in some cases. For businesses that used to rely on being second or third in the map pack, this shift can mean a dramatic drop in calls almost overnight. Despite the fear around AI, Joy does not believe Google is going anywhere. As she points out, Google's real advantage is data. Reviews, location history, calls, visits, and behavior all live inside Google Maps. That depth of information is something other platforms struggle to match. Local SEO is still viable, but it is no longer free traffic in the way many business owners became used to. The bigger lesson is not about Google itself, but about dependency. When an agency or a business relies too heavily on one channel, any change can feel catastrophic. The agencies that struggle the most right now tend to be those built around rigid, cookie-cutter systems that cannot flex with the landscape. Why SEO Agencies Must Diversify to Survive Agency owners who want time to adapt should keep in mind it's always better to have an outbound strategy, an inbound strategy, and partnerships that you can rely on. If all your business comes from one channel and that channel changes, you are forced into reaction mode. The opportunity here is for agencies to guide clients toward broader strategies. That might include paid ads, partnerships, or even old school tactics like direct mail and local sponsorships. The exact tactic matters less than the mindset. Businesses need multiple levers to pull so they are not held hostage by one platform's decisions. For instance, right now everyone's scrambling to adopt AI in their processes, services, and more. But you should also try to understand the economics behind AI and advertising. The massive data centers, energy consumption, and infrastructure costs mean that today's low prices will not last forever. Platforms are investing heavily now with the expectation that monetization will follow. For agency owners, this reinforces the importance of pricing correctly, setting expectations with clients, and building offers that account for rising costs and shrinking organic margins. Building a Fully Remote Agency Joy's agency started more as a practical decision than a remote-first experiment. After years of working from home she saw no reason to take on the overhead of an office. The cost savings mattered early on, but the flexibility mattered even more. Without a commute, Joy could better balance work and family life. That same benefit extended to her team. Many of her early hires were former coworkers from an agency that later shut down, people she already trusted and respected. Since they were geographically spread out, an office would have created unnecessary friction. Expanding into the United States was also a strategic move. Joy wanted access to a larger talent pool so she could be extremely selective about who she hired. Being remote made it possible to hire people who were already passionate about local SEO instead of settling for whoever happened to live nearby. Culture, Connection, and Team Building at Scale One of the risks of running a remote agency is losing human connection. Joy is very intentional about avoiding that. While informal meetups happen more often in Canada, the entire team gets together once a year for an in person retreat. The goal of these retreats is mostly relationship building. Joy genuinely likes the people she works with and considers many of them friends. She believes that strong relationships create trust, better communication, and a healthier work environment overall. Joy sees firsthand how flexible work, reasonable boundaries, and a supportive environment can be life changing for employees who came from toxic workplaces. That impact has become a meaningful part of why she continues to grow the agency. Why Scaling the Agency Became a Mission When she first started her agency, Joy wanted a small team. Ten people or fewer. Highly experienced. Minimal management. That vision changed a few years in, and the reason surprised her. Around two years in, her agency began supporting a charity in Uganda, and the more she built that relationship, the more Joy saw how far a single dollar could stretch there compared to North America. Visiting in person made the impact real. She realized that by growing the agency, she could dramatically increase the good they could do through that partnership. The same realization applied to her team. As the agency grew, Joy saw how stable, flexible work improved her employees' lives. That sense of responsibility and opportunity shifted her perspective as she figured out her purpose. Now growth was no longer about ego or scale for its own sake. It became a way to create more impact both inside and outside the business. Leadership, Delegation, and Hiring for Your Weaknesses Agency owners who wish to keep their businesses small are often thinking about the nightmare that running a big agency can be. They imagine that the headaches they deal with at ten employees will just double if the team doubles. However, this was never the case for Joy. When she thinks about overworking she thinks about her time working for others. This is probably because Joy has always been very clear about what she does not enjoy. Accounting, taxes, and people management are high on the list, and instead of forcing herself to become good at everything, she hired people who genuinely enjoy those areas. A strong accountant removed massive mental load early on and hiring leadership team members who thrive on managing people allowed Joy to focus on strategy and innovation. She believes this is one of the biggest unlocks for agency owners who feel trapped. Delegation is not about offloading busywork. It is about trusting capable people to own outcomes. Joy prefers hiring experienced professionals over entry level talent because she does not want to micromanage. Her expectations are high, but so is her respect for her team's autonomy.

My guest today is Reed Hastings, the co-founder and former longtime CEO of Netflix. Netflix is an example of two ideas that everyone talks about, but are extremely hard to do in practice. The first is finding a simple idea and taking it extraordinarily seriously. Reed talks about how even the DVD business was nothing more than a stepping stone toward streaming, which they envisioned from the company's inception in 1997. The second is talent density, and what it actually takes to set and sustain an exceptionally high bar over decades as a company grows.  We talk about how those ideas shaped Netflix's culture and strategy, what Reed learned from mistakes like Qwikster, and why Netflix treated content like a venture portfolio. We also discuss Reed's work today. He shares how he's thinking about AI, what he's learned from serving on the boards of Microsoft, Meta, Anthropic, and Bloomberg, and what excites him about Powder Mountain, the ski resort he acquired after Netflix.

Flexibility in Activities: Leaders are encouraged to adapt ideas and resources to fit their local context, recognizing that not every ward or stake will have the same capabilities or traditions, but all can create impactful experiences centered on Christ.

“Many women don't have the information they need to understand what's going on with their hormones.” - Kate WellsWhile the conversation around menopause and hormone therapy has progressed significantly in recent years, many women remain unaware of their options and lack access to practitioners who can guide them through these transitions. When you add the fact that many of the symptoms associated with these hormone changes are still highly stigmatized, it's no wonder women are left feeling isolated and uncertain.The good news is that more practitioners and companies are changing the way they approach women's health. Expanding their focus beyond efficacy, they're building a more engaging and empowering experience for their customers.Today, I'm excited to introduce you to someone who's doing just that - menopause advocate and self-proclaimed biochem nerd, Kate Wells. Recognizing the need for more education on and access to hormone therapies, Kate and Kirsti Hegg founded Parlor Games. Being a clinician and a businesswoman can be hard, and Kate has been able to successfully meld the two and pursue a new purpose, starting in midlife.In this conversation, Kate and I discuss why so many women are finding themselves on a new path after 50, her journey in creating accessible hormone products, the challenges of educating women about hormonal health, the significance of community support, what to think about when choosing over-the-counter hormone therapies, why practitioner guidance is important, common misconceptions about estrogen, why Kate is passionate about the educational aspect of Parlor Games, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/what-are-bioidentical-hormones-with-kate-wells/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).Find and follow us @integrativewomenshealth on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@integrativewomenshealth) and Instagram (

He's dedicated to expanding the reach and impact of rowing through innovative marketing approaches.  Rowing is the ultimate team sport, but NGOs often overlook the stories of individual athletes.

Midlife has a way of getting your attention, especially when your body starts changing in ways no one really prepared you for, and menopause is often right at the center of it. In this conversation, we talk honestly about what's really happening during this season and what women can do to feel more like themselves again. You'll hear how small, intentional shifts can lead to more energy, clarity, and resilience over time. This episode is about moving from just getting through midlife to actually feeling good in it.   I sat down with Dr. Sangeeta Pati, MD, FACOG, ABOIM, a Board-Certified OB/GYN and Integrative Medicine Physician with over 30 years of experience, and the Founder of MD Prescriptives and the SaJune Institute. We break down her simple but powerful five-point model covering hormones, nutrition, detoxification, mind-heart balance, and the physical body. She also shares how lessons from the Blue Zones apply to women's health, especially during menopause. Everything we discuss is practical, doable, and rooted in real science.   Dr. Sangeeta opens up about how her global work in maternal health and her own healing journey completely changed how she approaches women's care. We talk about stress, the nervous system, burnout, and why so many women feel overwhelmed in midlife. This episode connects the dots between everyday habits and the body's natural ability to heal. If you're craving a grounded, reassuring conversation about menopause, longevity, and whole-body wellness, you'll feel right at home here.   Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] Introduction.

From celebrating women's representation to demanding true systemic disruption, I'm opening 2026 with a hard look at why nearly half of new businesses are started by women, yet so few ever cross the million-dollar mark.In this solo episode of She Leads, I unpack a paradox that should stop every founder and leader in her tracks: women launched 49% of new businesses in 2024, but only 4.2% reached $1 million in revenue. This isn't a conversation about confidence or competence, it's about systems. And more importantly, it's about how women who succeed within existing frameworks are rewarded, while those who challenge and redesign those frameworks face resistance at every turn.I introduce a three-level disruption framework that reframes how we think about success in entrepreneurship. Level one is representation and women building profitable companies in spaces never designed for them. Level two is model disruption and changing how industries operate, from regenerative construction practices to ethical beauty brands that challenge labor and sourcing norms. And level three is systemic disruption, where success redistributes power itself, creating new pathways through employee ownership, transparent supply chains, and reinvestment into underrepresented founders.This episode also confronts uncomfortable truths: how venture capital flows toward “acceptable” women-led industries, how algorithms and infrastructure quietly reinforce bias, and how family responsibilities still disproportionately force women out of business. The data is clear, and the issue isn't ambition or ability, it's a system built around invisible labor and outdated definitions of success.As we step into 2026, I invite you to ask a bigger question: not just how much you want to build, but what you're building toward. Because hitting a million dollars may require grit, but building something that lasts, scales, and changes the rules demands disruption. Tune in for a powerful redefinition of what it truly means to lead.Chapters

What happens when you've done everything right, hit the milestones, followed the plan, built the “good life” and still feel like something's missing? In this week's episode, I'm joined by transformational coach and spiritual mentor Hélène Caniac for a powerful conversation about what it really means to move from achievement to fulfillment. Together, we explore the embodied, lived-in practice of self-trust, pleasure, and presence; how to sustain your power and purpose without burning out or betraying yourself.We dive deep into the systems that have systemically severed our self-trust, from capitalism and productivity culture to patriarchal conditioning and the ways spirituality itself can become another form of performance. Hélène unpacks how disconnection has been woven into our collective DNA for generations, and why rebuilding trust with ourselves is one of the most radical, world-changing acts we can take.If you've been craving a softer, truer way of living, a way that honors both your depth and your belonging, this episode will feel like a homecoming.In this episode, we explore:The shift from achievement to fulfillment — how to move beyond external success and create a life rooted in alignment, joy, and embodied purpose.The systems that sever our self-trust — unpacking how patriarchy, capitalism, and performance-driven spirituality keep us disconnected from our power.Expanding capacity for joy and freedom — practical tools to cultivate presence, discernment, and nervous-system resilience through seasons of chaos or change.Pleasure as a path of leadership — how enjoyment, play, and authenticity become fuel for purpose, creativity, and sustainable impact.Embodiment in everyday life — living your spirituality “in traffic,” in your relationships, and in the ordinary rhythms of work, motherhood, and leadership.Redefining success — shifting from output and performance toward integrity, connection, and fulfillment that actually feels good in your body.The power of collective healing — remembering that true transformation happens in relationship, through community, curiosity, and shared humanity.Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Hélène Caniac:Website: helenecanhelp.comInstagram: @helenecanhelpJoin Le Salon — Hélène's free Telegram community for thought-provoking seasonal musings, voice-note journal prompts, and early access to upcoming offerings.

Expanding your reach, republishing content, and prioritizing your time with Chris and Scott Scheuer of The Cafe Sucre Farine.  ----- Welcome to episode 551 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, we're sharing the replay of a Coaching Call that we released earlier this year with Chris and Scott Scheuer of The Cafe Sucre Farine.  Coaching Call: Expanding Your Reach and Republishing Content with The Cafe Sucre Farine In this Coaching Call, Bjork is joined by Chris and Scott, the husband-and-wife team behind The Cafe Sucre Farine, their daughter Cait, and daughter-in-law Lindsay! On their site (which they started 14 years ago!), they share food that tastes amazing and actually works in real life through easy, elegant recipes that bring people together and help build meaningful connections around the table. Their goals for their blog include expanding their reach through social media and email marketing, introducing new team members to their audience, republishing and updating their arsenal of almost 2,000 (!!!) recipes, and figuring out how to prioritize their time. Here's a quick overview of the questions answered during the episode: Our audience has built a deep connection with Chris and Scott over the years. We want to expand our reach, but not at the expense of the community that has been there from the start. How do we introduce our audience to new team members without alienating them? We have close to 2,000 recipes on our blog and haven't gone back to update or republish any of our content. Where do we start?!

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Trader Ferg to the show. Trader Ferg is Full-time Trader & Author of the Trader Ferg Substack. Trader Ferg provides a comprehensive analysis of the precious metals market, with a particular focus on platinum group metals (PGMs). He highlights the significant developments in the platinum market, notably China’s launch of new futures contracts and their strategic cornering of above-ground platinum inventories. Ferg estimates that approximately 85% of global platinum inventories are now held in China, creating a potential supply deficit that could drive prices significantly higher. They also explore the complex dynamics of platinum, rhodium, and other PGMs. Ferg challenges the narrative that electric vehicles will dramatically reduce demand for catalytic converters, arguing that hybrid vehicles actually require more catalytic converter material. Ferg also sees substantial potential in rhodium, having invested 5% of his net worth in the metal and believing it could experience another substantial price surge. Expanding to the broader precious metals complex, Ferg discusses the evolving market dynamics for gold, silver, and other commodities. He emphasizes the increasing importance of physical delivery markets, particularly in China, and the potential breakdown of paper trading markets. Ferg has an optimistic outlook on precious metals, driven by fundamental supply-demand imbalances, central bank buying, and increasing physical demand. His investment approach focuses on finding asymmetric opportunities in overlooked or undervalued sectors. He looks for markets with limited supply responses, consolidated industries, and fundamental misunderstandings about long-term demand. Beyond precious metals, he shows interest in energy services, offshore drilling, and tin production.

In this episode of the Journey to an ESOP podcast, Jason sits down with Danny Massey, Head of Strategy and Communications for Expanding ESOPs--a national coalition working to dramatically broaden employee ownership across the United States. Danny shares how he became involved in the ESOP world, and the conversation dives into the powerful benefits of employee ownership, why it matters now more than ever, and how expanding access can create lasting impact for workers and businesses alike.

The lecture addresses the final theme of Advent: love, in the context of the connection between the manger and the cross. The speaker reflects on their experiences and observations leading up to Christmas, noting how Christmas decorations evoke a sense of warmth and cheer that contrasts with the somber elements often associated with Easter. This distinction is explored in light of the overarching Christian narrative that binds both events together. Beginning with an examination of the angel's message to Joseph from Matthew 1, the speaker emphasizes the significance of this divine communication amidst Joseph's turmoil upon discovering Mary's unexpected pregnancy. The notion of love is intricately woven into Joseph's acceptance of the angel's words, urging him to embrace Mary and her child, who is to be named Jesus. This connection evokes the deeper truth of Emmanuel—God with us—revealing a profound identification that God has with humanity through the incarnation.Expanding on this, the speaker draws attention to the radical nature of God becoming human and the implications of this miracle. Through the lens of C.S. Lewis, they illustrate the gravity of the incarnation, where God deliberately chooses to experience the fullness of human life, including its pains and joys. This act of humbling is highlighted with poignant examples demonstrating how Jesus understands struggles from a deeply personal level. The lecture articulates that God's intention in becoming human is not for His enlightenment, but for ours—to affirm that He knows our experiences intimately and profoundly.Furthermore, the speaker discusses the duality of reception and imitation as essential applications for the audience. Recognizing the isolation many feel during the holiday season, they encourage the congregation to receive and share God's love actively. They underscore that while God's love draws near to each individual, it also compels believers to reach out and identify with those who are suffering or marginalized, hence reflecting God's love in action. As the discourse transitions to the cross, the focus shifts to the purpose of Jesus' life and death. The speaker revisits the announcement made to Joseph, highlighting that Jesus is destined to save His people from their sins. They acknowledge the mystery of salvation through death and the inherent connection to the manger, reinforcing that Christ's incarnation culminates in His sacrificial love at the cross. This linkage between the manger and the cross is further illuminated by referencing Simeon's prophecy, which anticipates Mary's grief as the mother of a savior whose mission would bring both hope and opposition.The lecture culminates in an invitation to communion, emphasizing the continuity between celebrating the birth of Jesus and acknowledging His sacrificial death. By partaking in communion, attendees are reminded not only of the love that brought Christ to earth but also of the encompassing love that beckons believers to embody the same compassion and empathy demonstrated by Christ. The session ends in a collective confession that seeks to align the hearts of the congregation with the true meaning of love as depicted over Advent and leading into the celebration of Christmas and the promise of new life through Christ.

What if the most powerful way to step into a new year isn't by setting goals—but by honoring how far you've already come? In this end-of-year reflection, Jessica and Kelly look back on 2025 with honesty, humor, and heart. They celebrate growth, name what felt hard, and introduce the Bright List—a simple but meaningful exercise to help you reflect on what you're proud of, what you're ready to release, and what you want more of as you step into 2026. Inside This Conversation: Reflecting on the past year helps in personal growth. The Bright List exercise encourages positive reflection. Releasing negativity can lead to a more fulfilling life. Expanding joy and presence is essential for well-being. Surprises in life can lead to unexpected growth. Healing often comes from acknowledging struggles. Life is messy, and that's part of the journey. Intentions for the new year should focus on self-improvement. Embracing change is crucial as children grow and leave home. Living life to the fullest is a key takeaway for 2026.
