Podcasts about finding truth

My guest today is Sarah Guo, founder and managing partner of Conviction, the venture firm she built to back AI-native companies from their earliest days.  Sarah has become one of the most sought-after early-stage investors in AI, often the first check into the companies defining the frontier.  In this conversation, we go inside that frontier: what the small group of people actually building AI believe right now, why some of the field's best researchers are wrestling with their own sense of purpose, and how close we are to robots in the home and a genuine acceleration in scientific discovery.  At the center is Sarah's conviction that no single company will own the future of AI, and what that means for founders, investors, and anyone allocating their time and resources in a world moving this fast. Our managing editor Dom Cooke wrote a profile of Sarah for Colossus, "Sarah's Wager," on how she built the firm closest to the AI frontier and why she's now betting against its biggest companies.  Please enjoy this conversation with Sarah Guo.

You're doing everything yourself. You're answering every email, attending every meeting, and somehow still ending every week exhausted with nothing meaningful to show for it. Here's the truth: buying back your time isn't a luxury you earn after you get rich. It's actually how you get rich in the first place.

Because time is the only asset you can't make more of. And if you don't value yours, nobody else will either. In this episode, you'll learn: Why billionaires refuse to do $20 an hour tasks and how the dollar per hour rule forces you to stop lighting money on fire every week The Four D's: delete, defer, delegate, do, and why most people start at delegate and end up paying someone to do work that should never have been done at all The FREE system: favors, remote, executive, envoy, and how to build your support ladder from zero to chief of staff without wasting money on the wrong hire Why your open door policy is killing your productivity and how to replace come talk to me with send me a brief so half your meetings solve themselves Block it, batch it, assign it: the three calendar rules that stop your team from hijacking your time and force them to carry the weight of their own work Why swooping in to save the day robs your team of the lesson that would make them great and how letting them drop the ball teaches more than your rescue ever could Stop being your busiest employee. Start protecting the one asset you'll never get back. Your time isn't something you spend. It's something you invest.

This sermon was delivered June 9 in Charlottesville, VA as part of the Iowa Preachers Project preaching slam.After spending a year listening to people in pews, hospital rooms, and everyday conversations, I've become convinced that many people are asking two basic questions: Is God real? And if God is real, does any of this actually matter? Drawing on Andrew Root, Ryan Burge, and Paul's words to the Corinthians, this reflection suggests that the church's challenge is not merely convincing people that Christianity is true, but showing that it offers real life in a world shaped by loneliness, anxiety, consumerism, and the endless pursuit of “more.” The gospel is not simply about life after death—it is about life before death. And in a culture convinced that fulfillment comes through status, success, and acquisition, the good news of Jesus remains a surprising and much-needed alternative.

What was superstar #MichaelJackson really like when he wasn't performing, particularly when he was much younger? Darls Centola, who wrote "Finding Truth With Michael: A Memoir of Friendship, Faith, and First Love" takes us there in a way that's never been done before. Darls befriended Michael and sister La Toya during their high school years, and she was one of the only friends outside of the Jackson's performing world to cut through all the noise and just be a friend. The memoir chronicles the everyday life of the famous Jacksons, from roller skating in Sherman Oaks to joyriding in her beat-up yellow Toyota. It also talks about the faith they shared, and the crush she ultimately developed on the superstar Michael Finding Truth With Michael offers a personal look at Michael away from peering eyes, and is certainly well-timed with the release of the film "Michael," sharing his nephew Jaafar Jackson. Please find my full interview with Darls on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

In this powerful episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Bob Gardner, father of six, martial artist, entrepreneur, and self-described “God nerd,” for a deeply honest conversation about addiction, identity, healing, and personal transformation. Bob shares his remarkable journey from battling a decades-long pornography addiction, crippling self-doubt, depression, and suicidality to discovering a new path rooted in truth, self-awareness, and personal responsibility.Drawing from his experiences growing up in a military family, constantly feeling like an outsider, and carrying the belief that something was fundamentally wrong with him, Bob reveals how unresolved emotional pain shaped his life and nearly cost him his marriage and family. He opens up about the moment he was forced to confront his reality, the courage it took to publicly share his struggles, and how vulnerability became the catalyst for lasting change.The conversation explores the power of honesty, the danger of identifying with your problems, and why true healing goes beyond mindset work and into the body itself. Bob explains his unique approach to helping others overcome addiction and trauma by retraining instinctive responses, shifting deeply ingrained patterns, and creating transformation from the inside out. Through compelling stories, practical insights, and profound wisdom, Bob demonstrates that no matter how broken someone may feel, change is possible when they are willing to face the truth and engage in the battle within.This episode is a powerful reminder that our greatest struggles can become our greatest purpose, and that real freedom begins when we stop running from ourselves and start discovering who we truly are.Website- https://thefreedomspecialist.com/

In this exploration of Jesus' identity, Hamish examines the weight of the Savior's declaration as the light of the world, contrasting the superficial "truths" of modern culture with the exclusive and inclusive nature of Christ. Drawing on the historical backdrop of the Festival of Tabernacles, the sermon illustrates how Jesus positioned Himself as the fulfillment of the ancient pillar of fire that once led Israel, yet He now seeks to illuminate the darkness within the human heart rather than just the circumstances surrounding it. The message emphasizes that following this light requires a difficult but necessary course: a total surrender of the self and a symbolic death at the cross to overcome personal sin and pride. Ultimately, Hamish concludes that this path leads to the beautiful possession of resurrection life—a continuous, life-long process of becoming like Christ and experiencing an enduring dividend of peace, joy, and love that far surpasses the world's fleeting happiness.Referenced Scriptures:Psalm 34Psalm 63:1–5Exodus (The Pillar of Fire)John 8:12Acts 2 (Pentecost)Philippians 1:6

Two Women Inspiring Real Life with Stephanie Coxon and Kathy Anderson-Martin – Public policy and economics. Military activities. AI and data centers. Health and environmental concerns. There is A LOT coming at us. ALL. THE. TIME. The news can get overwhelming. It's particularly difficult when you don't really know who to believe. Is the information/source credible? Are the statistics...

High-control religion can shape identity, silence intuition, and leave lasting trauma—especially when faith, purity culture, and authority collide during adolescence. Darls Centola is a trauma therapist who explores how navigating faith under intense control shaped her path out of religious trauma and into healing. Darls shared a teenage friendship with Michael Jackson inside the Jehovah's Witnesses. Her new book, Finding Truth with Michael: A Memoir of Friendship, Faith, and First Love, offers a deeply human counterpoint to celebrity narratives and a timely lens on reclaiming one's voice.

I'm finding an occurring struggle when talking with women about all things health: the noise, the chaos, all the different "experts" and advice thrown at them does 2 things, 1. creates overwhelm & confusion, 2. creates analysis paralysis, and they stay stagnant and not taking action because they just aren't sure what to do when it comes to their health. In today's episode we are gonna chat some TRUTH and about how listening to 47 other voices isn't what God has called us to do. The real problem isn't that you are doing anything wrong, or that you don't have enough information, the problem is Satan loves confusion & chaos, where as Jesus brings PEACE and clarity. We don't have a lack of information, we have a lack of "anchors". Trends are always changing which also means there no real consistency. Today we talk about the basics, and the one and only TRUE voice that matters!

Have you ever stepped out in faith… only to watch everything fall apart?My dear friend, if you've ever wondered “Did I hear God wrong?”—this conversation is for you.In today's episode, Rachel shares a heartbreaking adoption story that didn't end the way she believed God had promised… and yet, in the middle of that pain, she discovered something deeper about God's voice, His presence, and His purpose.

Trauma therapist Darls Centola has written a unique, never-before-told story of young Michael Jackson and the relationship that changed both their lives, in FINDING TRUTH WITH MICHAEL: A Memoir of Friendship, Faith, and First Love, coming out on April 7th. Darls recounts her and Michael's close, tender friendship forged during their time spent in a small, private high school in Los Angeles, where they held private Bible study sessions as teenage Jehovah's Witnesses. Part memoir chronicling Darls' and Michael's secret friendship and spiritual bond as they both struggled under the weight of high-control religion, and part cultural lens, this book traces Centola's path into—and eventually out of—an environment of high-control faith and spiritual abuse that shaped their lives. The memoir arrives amid a cultural shift toward understanding spiritual abuse, purity culture, and religious deconstruction. As a therapist, Centola has spent decades working with the complex impacts of adverse religious experiences and the restoration of personal sovereignty from authoritarian belief systems. As an author, she offers clarity, compassion, and an insider's perspective on a rarely explored chapter in pop history. Centola would also love to discuss the intersection of celebrity, religious drama, and the clinical path to reclaiming one's voice. About the author:Darls Centola is a licensed clinical social worker, educator, and EMDR consultant whose professional path has been shaped by the lived experiences explored in this memoir. She holds a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Hawaii and is based in Los Angeles, where she works as a trauma-informed therapist. Much of her work explores the impact of high-control belief systems and the process of reconnecting with self and self-trust.Learn more at www.findingtruthwithmichael.com

Austin Falter, media creator and strategist, shares how he felt a clear pull to step into faith-based media.We talk about the world Gen Z is growing up in online — the constant stream of information, the confusion around identity, and the pressure to find truth in the middle of digital noise. Austin explains how to meet young people where they are and how storytelling and short-form media can be powerful tools for clarity, connection, and hope.

Mary welcomes back J Warner Wallace, author of the classic apologetics work, “Cold Case Christianity” to talk about how working leads in cold cases can yield so much spiritual wisdom. Can you imagine the learning curve in the life of a detective in a major city? How to be one step ahead of people, how to follow up on leads without compromising anything, and why in the world did so-and-so do that to that person? In our lawless world, we are all faced with sorting out such dilemmas at one time or another. In talking to Jim today, we look at a handful of leads that are used in the process of solving crimes, hot or cold. Who did they know? What were their priorities? Why do they keep running even when we know they are surrounded? How can we successfully ID the dangerous types in a world in which everyone is looking for their own ID, true or fake. Motive? Opportunity? While the world loves a good mystery, it does tell us a lot about who we are as humans, and while it seems we are determined to get to the truth in these cases, are we really the lovers of truth we claim to be? Especially when those truths are inconvenient and challenge our status quo. An enlightening hour with a very wise and discerning man. Book ’em Dano.

They explore the importance of transformational experiences and how simple gatherings can lead to deeper connections among men. Key Insights Transformational Experiences: Men often seek meaningful experiences that can lead to personal growth and connection. Frank shares how participating in F3 and Warrior Heart boot camps has profoundly changed his perspective on leadership and relationships. Gathering for Brotherhood: The act of gathering, whether for workouts or casual meet-ups, is crucial for building community. Frank emphasizes that men need spaces where they can connect and share their experiences authentically. Authenticity in Leadership: Leaders should prioritize creating environments where vulnerability is encouraged. This can be achieved by moving away from rigid lesson structures and focusing on genuine interactions. Shifting Perspectives: Frank discusses the importance of recognizing limiting beliefs and perspectives that can hinder personal growth. Leaders should help others see beyond their current views to embrace a broader understanding of their purpose. Simplicity in Engagement: Simple gatherings, such as meeting for hot dogs or casual discussions, can effectively draw men together and foster meaningful conversations, making it easier for them to engage with one another. Leadership Applications Focus on Gathering: Latter-day Saint leaders can prioritize creating informal gatherings that encourage connection among men, such as breakfast meetings or service projects, rather than strictly adhering to lesson plans. Encourage Vulnerability: Leaders should model vulnerability and openness in their interactions, creating a safe space for others to share their thoughts and feelings, which can lead to stronger bonds within the group. Challenge Limiting Beliefs: Leaders can facilitate discussions that help members identify and overcome limiting beliefs, encouraging them to explore their divine potential and purpose within the community.

Laura was born to teen parents in South Carolina in May 1984 and was adopted through Catholic Charities by a wonderful and loving couple who could not have biological children. An adopted brother joined the family seven years later.  She always knew she was adopted, and while adoption was spoken about openly and positively, it was understood by both siblings that searching for biological family would not be supported. The birth of Laura's second child sparked a curiosity to begin the search through an ancestry kit. With the help of a search angel, she was able to identify her biological parents and connect with aunts and an uncle on both sides of her biological family. Reunion has brought answers to many questions, healing, and a continuing unpacking of issues that have always been nagging but not understood. Today, Laura lives with her husband and three children and is a child welfare attorney.

In the three months since Charlie Kirk's assassination, our nation—and world—has grappled with how to respond: whether to fight, join hands, or stay silent. To lend some much-needed truth and clarity to a tragedy that's become plagued by misinformation, I invited Charlie's good friend and mentor, Dr. Frank Turek, back on Fearless this week. Together Frank and I talk through some of the conspiracy theories (a few involving Frank himself) that have cropped up since Charlie's death, how to discern truth from lies, and why preaching the Gospel and making disciples has become increasingly vital. Frank shares the truths of Scripture that have sustained him in his own grief, and breaks down the foundational truths every Christian should know and be able to share: the facts of Jesus' life and resurrection. Yes, Charlie's murder was a wake-up call for many of us, but we've also seen the church stay silent when it should be speaking out boldly for the Gospel. Let this conversation serve as a reminder to all believers: the lies of the enemy will continue to permeate our culture, it's up to us as the church to stand for truth and refuse to compromise, even when it costs us. 

There's no hurt like church hurt.As we move through this Christmas season, Angie pauses to address a reality many of us know too well: spiritual wounds that leave us questioning whether community, worship, and trust in spiritual leaders are worth the risk again.With compassion and honesty, Angie shares part of her own story, reflects on John 10:14, and walks through five common struggles believers face after church hurt. Through Scripture, she reminds us that while human shepherds may fail, the Good Shepherd never does.Whether you're actively engaged in a church community or still finding your way back, this episode will meet you with gentleness and invite you to take a small, Spirit-led step toward healing. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeAngie's personal story of disappointment with a spiritual leader and what the Holy Spirit taught her about truth and discernmentThe comfort of John 10:14 and how Jesus, the Good Shepherd, contrasts with failed earthly shepherdsFive common struggles that follow church hurt and the Scriptures that speak healing into each oneEncouragement for those who feel spiritually weary, disconnected from worship, or hesitant to re-enter communityA gentle invitation to take a small step toward re-engagement this ChristmasResourcesDownload When Church Hurts: 5 Common Struggles and How Scripture Helps Us Heal It's a free companion resource that offers verses and reflection questions to help you process your own journey.Download When Church Hurts here:https://steadyon.myflodesk.com/churchhurtIf you're ready to take another step toward community, consider joining us for Gather, our upcoming study inside Steady On University.

This is a re-run of an episode that was very powerful... so powerful it got deleted from YouTube. This is my wish to release it again to you and see if we can keep it up this time! Dr. Naomi Wolf joins me to go over the serious information that her team uncovered in the Pfizer documents. At dailyclout.io, she assembled a team of over 3,500 medical experts to comb over the thousands and thousands of pages of Pfizer documents that the FDA tried to have sealed for 75 years. Luckily, a judge did not allow that. Also, Naomi and her team discovered many of the reasons that Pfizer didn't want that information to be public. There was not incompetence on their part, but rather outright maliciousness. They knew the harmful effects and the wide variety of them and hid them from the public. We go through many of them in this short episode, and the end result is population decline, which appears to be a feature, not a bug. We get into all of this, along with issues of repentance, punishment, forgiveness, spiritual warfare, good vs. evil, and more.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The murder of Charlie Kirk and Ukrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutska reveals the fierce spiritual battle raging beneath today's headlines. Young people especially feel this tension as anxiety—a cognitive dissonance between what their hearts know to be true and the lies bombarding them from culture.The Claymore apostolate, named after the Scottish broadsword, equips young men with a blueprint for navigating this spiritual war. Knowledge becomes medicine to alleviate fear and confusion when we understand what's happening around us. Drawing from John Paul II's teachings, this three-step blueprint begins with developing friendship with Jesus Christ through daily practices like "knees before phone"—praying before engaging with technology each morning. By viewing temptation as an invitation to prayer rather than an occasion of sin, young men learn to transform struggles into opportunities for growth.Scripture reveals two paths: the wide gate leading to destruction and the narrow gate leading to life. Society follows what might be called an 80-20 rule: 20% actively follow Christ, 20% actively work against human flourishing, while 60% remain lukewarm. This apathetic majority has allowed cultural deterioration by refusing to stand for truth.Charlie Kirk exemplified speaking truth in love before his life was tragically cut short at 31. His legacy reminds us that authentic discipleship carries costs but also transforms culture. Through weekly podcasts, Substack articles, and community building, Claymore forms young men who, like Charlie, can become witnesses to hope in a world desperate for meaning.Ready to join the 20% who actively build a civilization of love?

We get to the heart of mystery in this mind-bending episode with Andrew Holecek, one of the most brilliant and poetic explorers of consciousness I know.We go deep into the transformative crucible of dark retreat—something I experienced firsthand. What happens when you face your own mind in complete darkness? No distractions, nowhere to hide. Magic happens, that's what.Andrew weaves together decades of wisdom from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, offers cutting edge dream research on lucid dreaming, and shares his own profound encounters in the dark. The stories he tells will leave you questioning the very fabric of reality.This episode has it all—quantum physics paradoxes, Sufi teaching tales, and practical tools for your own path of discovery. Andrew has a way of making the most esoteric ideas feel like a chat with a wise friend. That's a rare gift.Andrew is also the host of the "Edge of Mind" podcast, where he interviews luminaries in science, philosophy, spirituality, and psychology.

Nancy Rommelmann returns to Walk-Ins Welcome fresh from reporting on ICE raids for Reason Magazine. She and Bridget discuss LA's unprecedented triple crisis—immigration crackdowns, devastating wildfires, and Hollywood's exodus—and what might be next for the city, which leads to the larger question of whether America itself is resetting. They cover why Gen Z might be our saving grace, the return to real-world connections (cooking, gardening, live events, dinner parties) as an antidote to digital decay, why they still believe in Americans, why Gen X is the only generation still partying, and why you should always use the good soap. Sponsor Links: - Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.
