After 15 years helping shape the storytelling behind Disney's most iconic experiences, former Vice President of Global Creative Jim Real joins The Courageous Podcast to talk about what it means to leave a dream job in pursuit of what's next. Drawing on a career that spans Disney, global agencies, and years spent building brands across the U.S. and Asia, Jim shares why courage is less about fearlessness and more about moving forward before the path is fully clear. Ryan and Jim explore the power of storytelling and the importance of curiosity. Jim also reflects on lessons from his father's journey to sobriety, and why the next chapter of his career is focused on helping leaders, brands, and teams find the stories only they can tell.

This lecture discusses the 20th century Analytic philosopher, Thomas Nagel's essay "What Is It Like To Be A Bat", and focuses upon he portion of his article in which he begins to explore what subjective experience of other species would be and whether we have the capacity to imagine or understand what it is like to be to be that animal. He selects bats in particular since they are mammals but have a very different sensorium from us, in that they rely upon echolocation and have weak eyesight.

Episode 3597: Christina Browning explains how a high savings rate, combined with long-term investing and compound growth, can dramatically shorten the path to financial independence. By breaking down the 4% Rule with practical examples, she shows how reducing expenses and increasing investments can make retiring in under ten years a realistic goal for some households. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.ourrichjourney.com/post/how-to-retire-in-under-ten-years Quotes to ponder: "The key to retiring in less than ten years is all about increasing your savings rates." "Whatever method you choose, the goal should be to increase your savings rate by as much as possible." "The point is that by increasing your savings rate, you are propelling yourself closer to FIRE."

Andy Stumpf is a retired Navy SEAL, world-record-holding wingsuit BASE jumper, martial artist, and author. We discuss the mental framework and moment-to-moment decision-making process that can allow anyone to build discipline and resilience and better navigate both everyday life and life's most challenging moments. Andy explains several simple-yet-powerful tools gleaned from his time in — and after — his SEAL career that can help you determine where to focus your actions and how to clear your mind of things you can't control or that hold you back mentally. Andy also shares and reflects on lessons learned from some of the deeply personal challenges he faced outside of combat and freefall. Finally, we explore the all-too-frequent tragedy of people — including high performers — taking their own lives, and consider what might be done to prevent more such losses.

Have you ever felt the weight of an offense sitting in your chest like a stone, keeping you from the peace you know you're meant to carry? In this episode I sit down with Pastors April and Micahn Carter to get real about the "spirit of offense." We're cutting through the noise to expose how holding onto hurt isn't just a spiritual issue, it's a physical and relational cage. If you've been feeling isolated, exhausted, or stuck, this conversation is your key to freedom. We're breaking down the roots of bitterness and bringing you the spiritual tools to walk in true liberation.In this episode, we dive into: The Roots of Bitterness: Micahn pulls back the curtain on why we get offended—often it's the entitlement, the embarrassment, or the unrealistic expectations we hold over others. The "Proximity" Trap: Why the people closest to us; our church family, our familia, our dearest friends; are the ones who wound us the deepest. Decisional vs. Emotional Forgiveness: We aren't just talking about saying "I forgive you." We're teaching you the difference between the choice to let go of revenge and the daily work of replacing resentment with compassion. Prayer as an Anointing: Learn why it is impossible to stay angry when you are actively, fervently praying for the very people who hurt you. Owning Your Story: True healing starts when we realize we've all been the offender at some point. We discuss how to swallow our pride, listen to the pain behind the conflict, and walk in grace. Grab your Bible, get a cup of coffee, and join @michancarter, @therealaprilcarter and me @biancajuarezofficial as we choose freedom over bondage.

Send us Fan MailIt is Shawna Rosenzweig's vision to bring the benefits of structured outdoor experiences to all kids. If she is seeing farther than some, it is because she stands on the shoulders of the benevolent 100-year-old giant that is Camp Fire. Shawna and I discuss how outdoor experiences boost self-efficacy and equality, Camp Fire's pioneering legacy, the hallmarks of great outdoor programs, and how to bring those programs, or elements of them, to the kids in your life.

On Monday's Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Brandreth Canaley, Michael Goldin, and Jamie Lane break down where STR demand is actually coming from right now and who controls the guest relationship as platforms make their next big bets. The conversation opens with the FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States booking story every operator in a host market needs to hear. Hotels priced up and set minimums and the surge has not arrived the way anyone expected. Short-term rental bookings tell a different story, with host market reservations more than doubling since April. From there, the team digs into Vrbo's launch of sponsored listings and what a paid visibility layer means for independent hosts, and closes with Brian Chesky's bet that creators are Airbnb's next big Experiences opportunity and what that means for the operators already building businesses on the platform.

Can You Cultivate Genius?The question is: can you cultivate genius? What do you think?First, a quote from my mama, Caron McCloud. She says, “I decided early on that I mattered.”Today's episode shares how my mom Karen McCloud encouraged me to cultivate my genius, why I think it's important for women to learn to cultivate their genius, and how brainwave shifts can show us what we do not usually see — including a meditation to access the theta brainwave for your insights, as well as an exciting invitation that includes Amy Ahlers. Hint: it includes the genius we share about money, sex, and influence. So here we go.Let's talk about genius, my friends, and why it matters. First, a question: What would it take to be able to say, I am genius, without qualifying or needing to prove? Most of us don't think we are. This isn't about other people thinking you are, but about cultivating a genius space where fresh thoughts can arise.The term genius comes from the Latin verb gignere, meaning to beget, to produce, or to bring forth. This same root gives us the words generate and genetics. In Rome, your genius was the birth spirit that shaped your personality, guided your destiny, and protected you throughout life. And I can't help but think about the word genie being the root of genius.Very little space is given to the development of our innate genius, and this concerns me. We need more women living in the fullness of their power.But there's a problem. We might not know this is a choice — that we get to cultivate our genius. It may never occur to us that we have a genius to access at all, really. Most of us have never spent hours, let alone days, watching what truly wants to come through us: an insight, an innovation, a worldview built to actually design our lives and relationships.The drafting table Mama gave meI want to start with a personal story that even now kind of blows my mind. Let me take off my shoes now and step onto the ground as I remember this.My mother Karen McLeod was a genius. She encouraged me to write and recite poetry. She bought me a drafting table for my 13th birthday and told me, this is where you work out your ideas. Draw here, paint here, write here. She said, I want you to think as if the thing you're thinking about could be life-saving for yourself and for others. I want you to treat yourself as if you absolutely matter. And the world will be a different place unless you inhabit it with everything you're carrying.She'd send me to my room saying, go write a poem and don't come out until you have a draft. She taught me to treat my thinking as if it completely mattered — and as if I did.If she hadn't given me that framework to explore myself, I doubt the thought would have ever crossed my mind. Because it's audacious, isn't it? It is audacious to devote an hour or a day to your own genius just to see what's available to you.That is what I'm doing right now with two of my genius friends. We are in a sister mind, each quietly working on our own material, then discussing, then back to the drawing table for a 24-hour cycle. This — the cultivation of your genius — is what I've invited women to do for over 30 years. It's what I've built a long-term business and community on.What if our brilliant ideas are in the future? And what if that future is just a few minutes in the future, and accessible — like, right now?Why We Don't Go ThereThere are reasons we don't create the time to cultivate genius. Here are a few.Ego. We're taught not to have an ego. Not to get too big for our britches. Not to be too smart.Fear. We're warned that if people knew how much sacred medicine we're carrying, we could be a danger to ourselves or others.Worth. In the same breath, we're told we aren't worthy, and that there's no real value in cultivating our consciousness. Don't be too big — but be big enough.Those of us in the business world get another script entirely: be more masculine, hustle, grasp, win at all costs, even at cost to yourself. Experiences like hustle and win are almost a deadening place for genius. Genius doesn't grow in the hard ground of striving. It grows in a field of wildflowers, where you lay back and gaze at the sky and ask questions of your own consciousness.And I think the most obvious reason we don't go there, into the space of genius, is simpler. We don't know how. We haven't been shown. We've been prevented from it, and taught to devalue it.Here's how. Access flow state within. Focused, intentional inquiry. That is how. Focused, intentional creativity. That is how.A Little Brain ScienceLet me show you why. Here's a little of the brain science, because it's worth understanding. Our brains move through different electrical rhythms, and each one gives us access to a different kind of thinking.Most of our waking day runs on beta — the busybody, alert, task-managing state. This is the ground of usual day-to-day being. Beta is where we answer emails and cross things off lists. It's useful, but it's narrow. It can only show us a certain number of things, and we can come to think beta is the only place there is — just like we think we are only so smart, and that's how we're born. The issue isn't beta. It's in not knowing how to get out of it into new territory.When we soften and let the mind open, we can visit the bridge to alpha — the relaxed, imaginative, daydreaming state. This is the bridge. It's the gentle threshold between doing and receiving, the en route that takes us into possibility. We can feel the change in our body as our brain loosens its tight grasp on what there is to do and moves into presence.And just past that, theta — the slow, intuitive, dreamlike rhythm we touch as we fall into deep meditation and self-expression. Theta is where the subconscious becomes available to us by choice, where we can even dip a toe into the unconscious. This is where the eureka lives: the vision, the aha, the change we want to make in the world. It's so often conceived here, in expanded possibility.But can we get it back into beta? That's one of our questions.Here's the curious catch. That brilliant idea is conceived in theta, and then we have to carry it all the way back to beta — back to the day-to-day world of action steps. Many people cultivate a vision for years and never find the steps to ground it. So in our community, we travel into theta on purpose, and then we consciously bring that realm of information back into beta, so we can take decisive action on behalf of the vision.As Gertrude Stein puts it, being a genius takes a lot of time sitting around doing nothing. I just call that tea with the muse. It's the pause that makes the cultivation possible.A Ritual to Try TodayIf you want to try it today, here's a ritual.Sit quietly and look out a window. Pick a point as far away as you can see, and fix your gaze there. Pretend you can travel to that spot while staying exactly where you are. Let your breathing deepen and lengthen. Feel your belly soften, and the space between your eyebrows soften too. Let loose the grip, smooth the worry lines, and begin to listen to your inner world.Then state your intention three times: I am here to cultivate my genius. I am here to cultivate my genius. I am here to cultivate my genius.And then you pause. You just be. You just listen. If nothing comes, say, show me one thing I need to know today. And wait. It may take time. You may need to return to this for a week or two.Mama McLeod says this: keep looking at the stories that we tell, and the stories that we don't tell, and take responsibility for them. Create a context that's big enough to live a big life — and then live into that context. Context provides a theme, and it provides a perspective: a way of going about living our lives as a great adventure, and making choices about what we want that story to be. A context defines, and provides an identity to occur from.So the answer is yes. You can cultivate genius by choice. I do. You can too. Let's do it, and teach the others around us. I'm right here with you — in the heart, in the field, in the quantum now.P.S. — Keep your eyes out…I have exciting news. If you're a woman looking for a breakthrough in midlife — in money, sex, and influence — watch this space for an emergent invitation from me and Amy Ahlers, my incredible coach and BFF for the past 16 years.Amy and I have been working on a project behind the scenes to serve women entrepreneurs and those in corporate spaces, to claim their superpowers of prosperity, sexuality, identity, leadership, and intuition. It is a hybrid of virtual private one-on-one coaching and in-person gatherings — the ultimate mastermind, a council for powerful women. This is a dream of ours, and we're bringing it to you. We've been teaching together since 2012.Applications for Powerhouse are opening soon, and we begin in September.Thank you so much for tuning in to Tea with the Midnight Muse.Much love, Shiloh SophiaThis is a video from 10 years ago where you can hear Caron McCloud speaking about mattering.

In this heartfelt episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares a beautiful conversation with her friend Magda about creating a life and home that feels intentional, soulful, and truly your own. Magda has been lovingly beautifying her forest home — bespokeing every detail, handcrafting spaces with care, personality, and warmth. From the outside, everything looked peaceful and stunning. But then she discovered a martin had made its way deep inside the walls and created a nest hidden within the home. At first, she tried to handle it herself. But eventually, she realized she needed to call in an expert — someone with wisdom, experience, and the ability to help with what was happening beneath the surface. Candace reflects on how deeply this mirrors our own lives. We can style our hair, nourish our skin, decorate our homes, curate our wardrobes, buy beautiful things, and work hard to create lives that look peaceful from the outside. But sometimes, inside us, there are still hidden places carrying old pain, fear, grief, stress, or unresolved emotions quietly nesting in the background. This episode is a gentle reminder that healing is not about perfection. Even the cleanest, most beautiful homes become messy simply from being lived in. The same is true for us. Life happens. Emotions build up. Experiences leave marks. The goal is not to become flawless — it's to become aware. Candace talks about the importance of checking in with ourselves, tending to the hidden rooms within, and allowing ourselves support when needed. Sometimes our own rituals, practices, and self-awareness help us move through things. And sometimes healing asks us to reach out to someone with deeper expertise to guide us through the murky places we cannot navigate alone. This episode is about inner peace, emotional honesty, self-awareness, and creating a life that feels beautiful not just on the outside, but deep within the walls of who we are.

Non-Rev Travel Stories, Gate Challenges, and Airline Benefits TalkMonique and Tyler record at Monique's house and discuss recent travel and work experiences in the airline world. Monique recaps a Flagstaff trip for Hayden's 21st birthday, including tight non-rev flights, a risky slip-and-slide game on gravel, and the stress of getting Zachary home after losing a seat, helped by friends at the airport. They compare non-rev benefits and policies—check-in time vs seniority, buddy passes vs a second registered companion, and not paying for upgrades—and reflect on how flight benefits enable frequent travel and occasional lie-flat first class experiences. Tyler shares work updates, including bidding cooler basement duties, handling oversized bags, mentoring challenges during a hectic boarding, meeting Gabby Giffords on a flight, and operational delays from a tire change and a dead jet bridge that required towing.00:00 Welcome Back Setup00:50 Pajamas And Halara01:22 Lara Scarf Swap02:09 Flagstaff 21st Trip04:29 Slip And Slide Games05:43 Nonrev Flight Chaos09:36 Southwest Codeshare Talk11:36 Basement Bag Room Shift17:29 Mentoring At The Gate23:44 Gabby Giffords Flight25:23 Jet Bridge Breakdown29:06 Airline Seniority Years31:54 From Side Gig to Career33:24 Pay Scales and Perks34:23 Trips Made Possible35:39 Lie Flat Weekend NYC38:20 TWA Hotel Detour39:54 Benefit Rules and Retirement42:39 Imposter Syndrome Up Front44:16 How Flights Stay Full47:07 Best and Worst Policies55:00 Job Joys and Flexibility59:33 StaffTraveler and Italy Plans01:01:14 Wrap Up and Sponsor01:02:10 Farm Feed and Thumbs DownCheck out Route Explore from StaffTraveler   https://route-explorer.com/StaffTraveler wants our feedback to help build Route Explore before it is officially released.  Send any feedback to support@stafftraveler.comStaffTraveler is offering a 10% code for any of our listeners who buy their eSIM.Use the Promo code ST10NONREVLOUNGE  https://share.stafftraveler.com/nrl-esim✈StaffTraveler is a great app that can assist your non-rev travels!

Paranormal and HIghly Strange Experiences with Guests Mario, Nansi and TonyNansi Glover Bio: After 20+ years of having personal encounters with the spiritual side of the paranormal, Over the last 3 years with the introduction of surveillance cameras to her home, Nansi Glover (pseudonym) began to encounter a twist to the phenomena. Those very same surveillance cameras began to show what at first appeared to be the rolling in of a strange mist illuminated by the infrared beams of her cameras. What made this mist so strange? The apparent manifestation of figures in the mist. It's at this point that Nansi was reaching out to paranormal investigators with her photos and video in a pursuit to harness answers.Tony Harris Bio: This is where Tony Harris, Captain of Strange Happenings Investigators of the Paranormal (S.H.I.P) came to investigate what was occurring on this property as a boots on the ground investigator. Tony has been a paranormal investigator for more than twenty years in the Wellington region, based out of Fergus, Ontario.Mario A. Neophytou Bio: Seeking for a third opinion, Nansi brought in Mario A. Neophytou, Founder of New Light Paranormal, who would analyze clips, differentiating a parallel between the conventional explanation and an open minded approach to what possibly presents itself as paranormal. Mario is the founder of New Light Paranormal based out of Keswick, Ontario. Having experience phenomena throughout his life, Mario seeks to bridge the paths of what is the mundane explanation with the possibility of what a boundless paranormal world can offer whilst understanding the importance of remaining grounded with critical thought.The three discuss and evaluate the possibilities of what is occurring on Nansi's property, reviewing images and videos of what is caught on the security cameras. It is theorized that Nansi is within proximity to a portal that utilize non conventional methods to materialize. From spirits to an interdimensional presence. The portal is open and we are watching. Links:NLP Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewLightPara?rdid=Hk4We1llU6yIAHns&share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F1FRc2ENH2G%2F#SHIPFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/1StrangeHappenings1?rdid=OqKQDEa8g9OrsBZO&share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F18fdSpu4DR%2F#TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nansi.glover?_r=1&_t=ZS-95jeOflNrsIYouTube Videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtVZzHipoQpCTEWcmC1Vd8KDW986xnnyQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byakhopehDghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3W-JDkMF7M

As a scholastic player, James Black Jr. was an All-American who won numerous national titles and trophies, both as an individual competitor and as part of the famed IS 318 chess program in Brooklyn, New York, as featured in the documentary Brooklyn Castle. Alongside FM Joshua Colas and IM Justus Williams, James became one of the youngest African-American National Masters in U.S. history. After stepping away from competitive chess for several years, James has recently returned to the game, both as a player and as a coach and mentor. In a full-circle moment, he is now teaching at the same school where he first made his name while also building his own organization, KnightShift. James joins me to discuss: • Why he came back to competitive chess, and his goals for the future • The "four pillars" he emphasizes when teaching young players • How chess training has changed since his rise in the early 2010s, and what he needs to do to catch up Plus, we discuss a unique chess book recommendation, his memories of Webster University, and his reaction to the news that its chess program is coming to an end. This was a fun conversation, and I am excited to see James's comeback unfold. 00:00 Intro+ What brought James back to chess after an OTB hiatus Mentioned: Brooklyn Castle https://www.rescuedmedia.com/brooklyn-castle GM Alex Lenderman, GM-elect Liam Putnam Background info we mentioned: https://grokipedia.com/page/james_black_jr 10:59 Teaching and Learning: Evolving Chess Education Watch James vs. Magnus in 2012 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfbpC3dQWw 17:16 Opening Strategies: Adapting to Modern Chess 23:25 Inspiration from Legends: Shaping a Chess Career 29:28 Beyond the Board: Life Lessons Through Chess 34:36 Reflections on Growth: Embracing the Journey 36:12 Impact of Mentorship in Chess 38:48 Teaching Chess to Young Minds 43:00- Favorite chess book!  Mentioned: WNYC video featuring James as a kid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiOVyiR5jUU Knight Moves by Charles Alexander- https://www.ebay.com/itm/126711532470?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&google_free_listing_action=view_item&srsltid=AfmBOopTKnSuidd7Eg5M3-xYtoYzP97-jcvhVtZSPv1S1T25hE9dzgcXGsU 48:58 Experiences at Webster University Webster terminates chess program: https://www.chess.com/news/view/spice-chess-program-terminated 53:49 Advice for Aspiring Chess Players Thanks to James for sharing his story!

Most leaders think they are delivering a great customer experience. Pierre Charchaflian of IBM says they are delivering yesterday's version. The new standard is not fixing problems when customers report them. It is knowing about the problem before the customer does, and solving it before they have to ask. That shift, from reactive to anticipatory, is what separates the brands that customers stay loyal to from those they leave without explanation. The technology to do it exists right now. Most companies are not using it. Pierre has spent 25 years at the intersection of data, technology, and customer experience, and he says this transformation is unlike anything he has seen before. The window to act is open. It will not stay that way. What You Will Learn About Anticipating Customer Needs With AI: What agentic AI actually is in plain language, why it is fundamentally different from prior AI capabilities, and what it means for your CX strategy starting now Why IBM's research found that technology stack limitations, not budget or talent, are the number one barrier preventing CMOs from delivering the customer experience they already know they need to deliver How agentic search engines are becoming a direct threat to brand digital presence, and what leaders need to do before their customers' AI agents start bypassing them entirely Why anticipating a customer's need before they express it is now a measurable competitive advantage, and what separates the companies building that capability from the ones still reacting How AI can read sentiment, detect frustration signals across structured and unstructured data, and trigger a response before a customer decides to leave Why conversion is the metric that tells the truth about whether your customer experience is actually working, and what NPS and CSAT consistently miss Download IBM's Win the Moment report now: https://www.ibm.com/thought-leadership/institute-business-value/en-us/report/customer-intent?utm_id=Stacy-Sherman-AdobeSummit-LinkedIn-IBVCMOStudy-04-16-26 #IBMPartner Have a question or thoughts to share?

Today's guest is Claudette Zepeda, award-winning chef, mom, self-described border kid, poet, and author of the new cookbook “Cooking the Borderlands: Spice and Smoke Between Mexico and the States.” Claudette's book is a deeply personal celebration of the food, family, and culture that shaped her, from Tijuana and San Diego to Jalisco and beyond. Claudette joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the long road to writing her first cookbook, why she was determined to create something that would stand the test of time, and how her identity as a border kid informs everything she cooks. She shares stories about her family, her kids, the recipes they inspired, and the women who taught her resilience, creativity, and the power of the village. They also dive into recipes from “Cooking the Borderlands,” including her White Widow salsa, arroz poblano, birria, and the Chinese-Mexican dishes that reflect the food culture of Tijuana and Mexicali. Plus, Claudette talks about her San Diego airport restaurant project with Tony Hawk, her salsa macha collab with Señor Lechuga, and the life-changing experience of walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain.
