Wir sprechen über Festivals, wie man sich motiviert hält auch bei schlechtem Wetter, warum zu viele geile Bands genau so schlecht sein können wie zu wenig und wieso es keine Ausrede mehr gibt, auf dem Festival nicht mehr zu duschen. Außerdem wundern wir uns über den neuen Formal-1 Film und wieso es eigentlich keine Fahrerinnen gibt. Wir spielen ja eigentlich nicht Lego, aber wieso ist das Zeug so teuer und wieso bezahlen so viele diese Preise? Das ist doch alles nicht mehr normal.

In a culture obsessed with fixing weaknesses, Whitney Hopler invites us to shift our focus to our God-given strengths. Drawing from Romans 12:6-8, this devotional encourages believers to identify, celebrate, and use their unique spiritual gifts and talents instead of dwelling on flaws. Embracing your natural strengths not only aligns you with God’s design but also empowers you to serve more confidently and effectively in your personal and professional life. Highlights Many people spend too much time trying to fix weaknesses, losing sight of the powerful strengths God has given them. Formal strength assessments or simple reflection can help you discover your unique spiritual gifts and natural abilities. Romans 12:6-8 encourages using your strengths faithfully rather than obsessing over weaknesses. God’s purpose for you is best fulfilled when you lean into what you’re naturally good at, making a greater impact for His kingdom. Focusing on your strengths leads to greater confidence, wise decisions, and freedom to be your true self in Christ. Strengths-based living helps overcome weaknesses without becoming paralyzed by them.
In this fascinating exposition, Stephen Wolfram connects two of the most important breakthroughs of our time: AI and the ruliad.I ask Stephen how he thinks about knowledge hypergraphs, which I'm exploring at Open Web Mind.He offers several important insights.Stephen draws a distinction between human-like minds and formal knowledge.Human-like minds include both our own brains and Large Language Models. Such minds, Stephen suggests, are good at making broad but shallow connections.Formal knowledge, on the other hand, is deep and precise. Stephen has spent a lifetime building computational towers of such knowledge.He proposes that Large Language Models might serve as interfaces to formal knowledge. He warns, however, that much of this knowledge might be inaccessible to minds like ours.To illustrate the difficulty, Stephen contrasts the 50,000 or so concepts to which we humans have assigned words, such as “cat” and “dog”, with the infinite variability an AI can generate, both within human concepts and in the interconcept space in between.Tying this back to physics, Stephen Wolfram posits that the concepts of space, time, energy, etc. we have internalized occupy only a tiny part of the ruliad.—Stephen WolframStephen WolframThe Wolfram Physics ProjectWolfram InstituteWolfram Institute Community DiscordRelated writings from StephenGenerative AI Space and the Mental Imagery of Alien MindsHow to Think Computationally about AI, the Universe and EverythingThe Concept of the RuliadMore on knowledge hypergraphs at Open Web Mind:Open Web MindOpen Web Mind YouTube channelSign up for my newsletter—The Last Theory is hosted by Mark Jeffery founder of Open Web MindI release The Last Theory as a video too!

The Psychology of Peak Performance — Dr. Adam Formal on What High Achievers Get Wrong About SuccessWhat happens when you reach the top of your game — and suddenly everything feels harder, not easier? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Adam Formal, a clinical psychologist who works with Team USA athletes, C-suite executives, and elite performers who look superhuman from the outside but are very much human on the inside.From Olympic athletes dealing with post-career identity crises to executives burning out despite having "everything," Dr. Formal shares insights that cut through typical success narratives to reveal what actually drives sustainable performance — and what destroys it.We cover:Why adding rewards to something you love actually decreases your motivationHow social media creates "need substitutes" that feel like connection but leave you emptierWhy most elite athletes retire before 24 and struggle more than anyone talks aboutHis "donut hole theory" — why we can't see our own patterns even when they're obvious to everyone elseThe uncomfortable truth about why people who "have it all" often feel the most lost

Race and Everyday Friction – Ending Well in Counselling Training In Episode 343 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they explore the importance of having an online and telephone informed supervisor when you work in this way. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Sarah Henry about her concept of race and everyday friction - how these subtle, often hidden experiences shape identity and create barriers in life and therapy. And finally in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss the significance of ending well in counselling training - how to navigate goodbyes with your peers and why these endings matter in your development. Why Have an Online and Telephone Informed Supervisor? [starts at 03:12 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken unpack the ethical importance of having an online and telephone informed supervisor when you practice in these ways. Key points discussed include: Supervision is an ethical requirement to ensure your practice is safe, effective, and supportive of clients. When working online or by phone, you need a supervisor who understands the specific challenges of these settings—like missing visual cues, managing silences, and the different technical considerations. Formal training in online and telephone working is essential, as supervisors who lack this training might not be able to guide or support you fully. Ethical frameworks (like the BACP's) and supervision competencies in the UK highlight the need for supervisors to hold formal training in any special areas of practice. Supervisors with this training will understand nuances like the disinhibition effect (when clients behave differently online) and data protection considerations. Race and Everyday Friction [starts at 18:53 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Sarah Henry, a counsellor and trainer who explores the concept of everyday friction. Those small, often overlooked experiences of race that shape a person's daily life. Key points from this conversation include: Everyday friction can be things like plasters (band-aids) that don't match darker skin tones, or seeing few Black people on greeting cards - small examples of how whiteness is often the default in society. These small frictions are constantly present and shape identity in powerful ways. White people may not recognise these frictions because they are not impacted by them directly. Conversations about race often start by talking about these everyday frictions - it's how we build bridges and develop understanding. Recognising and exploring these micro-moments of exclusion can help therapists be more attuned to the lived experiences of their clients. Ending Well in Counselling Training [starts at 40:41 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken share insights on ending well in your counselling course—whether you're finishing a term, a module, or the whole course. Key points include: Good endings help to close the chapter, mark growth, and ensure no regrets are left behind. Reflect on what you've shared and learned with your peers - acknowledge the support, challenges, and personal development. If there have been tensions with others, consider repairing or at least acknowledging them to avoid unfinished business. Remember that even if you see some peers in future courses, each group dynamic is unique. It's important to close this chapter properly. Taking time to end well helps you carry the experience forward as a positive part of your development.

Jeannette examines the intricate dynamics of family businesses and the challenge of attracting top-tier executive talent while preserving the company's culture, values, and legacy. She discusses the importance of bringing in external leaders to drive innovation and growth in an increasingly competitive market, while also emphasising the need for clarity in governance, deep cultural immersion, and a balance of autonomy with guardrails Jeannette explains why: Family businesses face the challenge of attracting top-tier executive talent while preserving their culture, values, and legacy. It's essential to find a balance between modernisation and maintaining the emotional identity of the business. Establishing clear governance structures is crucial for family enterprises. Formal frameworks help clarify decision-making processes and power dynamics, allowing external leaders to operate effectively without confusion. Successful onboarding of external executives involves deep cultural immersion. Leaders should connect with the family's story and values to foster emotional investment and lead with purpose, not just logic. Great leaders thrive in environments where they have the freedom to innovate while understanding the non-negotiable values of the family business. Clear boundaries help maintain the company's core identity while allowing for evolution. Subscribe to Brave Bold Brilliant for weekly wisdom on leadership, legacy, and living boldly.

In this enlightening discussion, I sat down with Melo Calarco, a seasoned mindfulness coach and author renowned for his work on overcoming burnout and achieving balance. In this episode, we explore the multifaceted nature of burnout, delving into Melo's personal journey of cycling 30,000 kilometres around the world and how this challenging experience shaped his understanding of resilience and self-belief. Alongside his exploration of the critical role mindfulness and gratitude play in combating burnout, this conversation offers invaluable insights into identifying the signs of stress and how to shift your mindset towards a healthier, more balanced lifestyle. What You'll Learn: Understanding Burnout: Melo provides a comprehensive explanation of burnout, beyond the work environment, emphasising that it's largely about chronic stress. Key Signs and Symptoms: Early indicators of burnout such as physical tension, emotional withdrawal, and behavioural changes. The Role of Mindfulness: How integrating mindfulness into daily practice can serve as a powerful tool to manage stress and enhance mental clarity. Stress Responses: The distinction between challenge and threat perceptions of stress and their impact on motivation and behaviour. Practical Mindfulness Techniques: Simple yet effective strategies for implementing mindfulness and meditation into a busy schedule. Gratitude and Positivity: Exploring how gratitude can rewire the brain for positivity, counteracting stress and promoting better mental health. Key Takeaways: Burnout extends beyond the workplace; it is the result of chronic, unmanaged stress which can accumulate from various life sources. Self-awareness is crucial in identifying stress signs early. Listening to your body's cues and recognising emotional shifts can prevent deeper burnout. Mindfulness and meditation are not just practices for moments of stillness. They can be woven into daily routines to enhance focus and reduce anxiety. Adopting a challenge-oriented mindset, supported by self-belief and past experiences, provides a protective buffer against burnout. Simple practices like daily gratitude can have profound impacts on mental health, promoting a positive outlook and resilience.

This week, Ones Ready goes nuclear with Matt Cubbler — Army veteran, retired cop, and the man Special Operations would really prefer you ignore. We dive into why Matt's been dubbed the “SEAL Killer” (spoiler: it's not because he stormed a compound) and how decades of government gaslighting, backroom deals, and military industrial self-worship led to the cover-ups of heroes like John Chapman and Job Price.From exposing the Wizard-of-Oz level fraud inside the SEAL brand, to calling out the government's disturbing addiction to "just trust us, bro," this episode rips the mask clean off. If you're still clinging to bedtime stories about flawless American heroism, go ahead and unsubscribe now — it's about to get real uncomfortable.Stay tuned, stay mad, and don't forget: If you're not questioning it, you're part of it.
The New Abnormal hosts Andy Levy and Danielle Moodie think the Trump administration's handling of Kilmar Abrego Garcia's wrongful deportation is a bad omen for its view of the constitution. Then, Douglas Rushkoff, author of Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires, joins the show to talk about all things tech bros. Plus! Formal federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner stops by to explain why America is in the midst of a constitutional crisis—and what to expect next. Hosted on Acast.
