"It's like when my daughter plays dress-up. They're playing with identities — the most extreme version of the thing they're trying to inhabit." Brian sits down with Dr. Hannah Spier, the Norwegian psychiatrist behind the Psychobabble Substack, on what her field does to men and what it hands out to women. Also: why she argues much of the autism and late ADHD now diagnosed in women is poor socialization nobody will name, the diagnosis as a story of redemption, psychiatrists as the gatekeepers who stopped saying no, and what her own maternity leave taught her about the literature on women's wellbeing. "That is when you have a breakthrough — when you get your male client to start crying. That's when you're really going someplace. But men find it quite provoking to sit face to face and chat. Men heal by doing." Support the show: feedthebadger.com/support Send us a message: feedthebadger.com/justthetip Join the community: badgernation.online

A protagonist is only as strong as the wall they're trying to break through. Your antagonist isn't the obstacle to your story — your antagonist IS your story. Pull up a chair. Before we dive into Workshop 4, Hank Garner and Abby sit down for a relaxed fireside conversation about the most underrated character in fiction: the one standing in your hero's way. We're talking villains, rivals, systems, storms, and the quiet "no" that forces your protagonist to change. If you've ever written a bad guy who felt flat, cartoonish, or too easy to beat, this one's for you. This is the warm-up. Grab a coffee, settle in, and come to the workshop ready to build an antagonist readers can't look away from. In this chat, Hank and Abby get into: - The difference between a villain, an antagonist, and a plain old obstacle - Why the best antagonists are the protagonist of their own story - How a villain's "no" drives your plot forward, scene by scene - Desire, wound, and lie — how the tool that builds heroes builds their enemies too - Sympathetic vs. hateable: when to make readers understand the villain, and when not to - The antagonists we can't stop thinking about — and what makes them work - The most common mistakes that make a bad guy fall flat - Force-of-nature and internal antagonists (when there's no villain at all) #WritingCraft #Antagonists #Villains #WritingTips #AmWriting #NovelWriting #CharacterDevelopment #Fiction #WritingCommunity #StoryStructure

In this episode of The Capital Raiser Show, Richard C. Wilson sits down with Marcus Ridgway, founder of F6 Partners and co-founder of Invitation Homes, for a fireside chat on attracting institutional capital at scale, building frameworks that earn the trust of the world's largest investors, and why extreme conservatism - not big risk - is what created one of the most impressive real estate track records in the country. Marcus shares how building institutional-grade systems from day one led to Blackstone wiring $35 million before a single document was signed, and how they ultimately scaled that relationship to $1 billion - all because the architecture, software, and reporting were airtight from the start. The conversation dives into risk mitigation frameworks, optionality as an insurance policy against volatility, the mindset shift from hustle to architecture, what separates centimillionaires from founders who never scale, and why Marcus believes fat tail risk is the defining challenge facing every investor in the years ahead. Topics covered include: Securing $4 billion from Blackstone and taking Invitation Homes public on the NYSE Why institutional investors never look at IRR - only downside risk Building architecture that creates returns vs. relying on hustle to create results Why exactness and transparency with institutional capital is non-negotiable Creating an investment committee even for a single house purchase How a cold call from an industry researcher led directly to Blackstone Optionality as an insurance policy against volatility Returning $200 million to an investor when the strategy no longer made sense Offshoring decisions so the business doesn't depend on one person Separating ego and identity from outcomes as a founder Student housing and senior housing as the top opportunities right now Fat tail risk - why black swan events are increasing in frequency and what to do about it How conservative structuring, not big bets, built a billion-dollar platform The Capital Raiser Show brings together billionaire investors, family offices, elite entrepreneurs, and capital allocators to discuss investing, scaling, strategic growth, and wealth creation.

Diese Folge wird remote aufgenommen: Isabel am Wörthersee, Lukas in Wien – und das Türkis des Sees ist, so viel sei verraten, bereits im ersten Satz zu spüren. Lukas kommt frisch aus einer vollgepackten Woche zurück: Fireside Chat in München mit dem Wiener Gesundheits-Startup NYRA HEALTH, Gespräche mit Gründerinnen, Unternehmerinnen, Family Offices und eine Erkenntnis, die hängen, die von der darauffolgenden Uni-Vorlesung bleibt – nämlich warum das amerikanische Rechtssystem auf Einzelfallentscheidungen basiert, während wir in Europa Gesetzestexte haben. Und dann noch ein Zitat, das die ganze Woche zusammenfasst: Take your work seriously, but not yourself. Der eigentliche Kern der Folge ist das Thema Stundenwert – wie bepreist man sich als Selbstständige/r, wenn die Leistung längst nicht alles ist, was zählt? Netzwerk, Marke, gelebte Erfahrung: das sind Dinge, die man schwer in eine Rechnung packt, die aber den Unterschied machen. Ein Studienkollege brachte es auf den Punkt: Es dauert so lange, wie man alt ist. 42 Jahre bedeutet, es hat 42 Jahre gedauert, um zu wissen, was man jetzt weiß. Die gesamte Lebenserfahrung steckt in der Stunde — und genau das ist ihr Preis. Wer das früher versteht, verliert weniger. Lukas erlebt im ÖBB Railjet Business Class – seinem klaren Favorit für österreichische Strecken – eine äußerst amüsante und sagen wir individuelle Bestellsituation. Buchempfehlung der Folge: Poor Charlie's Almanack von Charlie Munger. Isabel will Lukas' “Love Language” herausfinden, aber das gelingt ihr nicht ganz…

Topics covered include: The "jockey, horse, and track" framework for evaluating any deal How AI deal screening tools cut through hundreds of opportunities in seconds Deep due diligence in teams and why diverse professional backgrounds matter Minimizing risk vs. eliminating it - and why you can only do one Portfolio strategy before individual investment selection Diversification vs. de-worsification and finding the right balance Stress testing sponsors through the Fed rate cycle of 2022-2023 When to walk away quickly and take no for an answer The biggest misconception private investors have about succeeding in alternatives The Capital Raiser Show brings together billionaire investors, family offices, elite entrepreneurs, and capital allocators to discuss investing, scaling, strategic growth, and wealth creation.

OA1269 - It's official: Donald Trump has nominated Acting Attorney General “Two Taint” Todd Blanche to run the Department of Justice for real. We review Blanche's three-year career as Trump's personal defense attorney before considering the questions the Senate Judiciary Committee should be asking to determine just who Blanche has been really working for in his time at DOJ so far. Then: the U.S. is hosting the world's biggest international sports event at a time when our immigration system has never been less hospitable, and even before the first World Cup kickoff Trump's CBP has been giving red cards to players, coaches, support staff, and fans who had  already been cleared by the refs at U.S. consulates abroad. Matt explains the immigration law logistics of international tournaments, and how this administration's harsh immigration policies are actively working against the system's efforts to make things easier for World Cup visitors. Finally, in this week's listener-requested footnote: why an outdoor sportswear brand is reluctantly suing a drag queen, and our predictions for one of the strangest trademark lawsuits in U.S. history. “Trump Trial Opening Statements (Defendant),” Gavel Gavel (11/1/2024) “People v.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) In this talk, you are invited into a relaxed, fireside chat exploring awareness as the mind-heart's capacity to know without grasping, fixing, or becoming entangled in what is known. Through reflections on aspects of the Naturally Arising Practice Method (dharmaground.org/teachings) including: inward-staying (from Upasika Kee Nanayon's pointer), knowing experience from within experience, and letting go of the mind's habitual leaning toward objects, the talk points toward the fruits of stillness, coming home, wellbeing, equanimity, and joy. This exploration of awareness supports a more spacious and wise relatedness to daily life, where even difficulty can be met with greater presence, choice, and a quiet freedom.
