Young, a PhD-trained theoretical physicist, alchemist, and author of A Fool's Wisdom.

The "particles" are in the human mind; the data are waves.We get into CERN's Shiva statue and the Celtic deity it's named after, why Hiroshima and Nagasaki are thriving modern cities, what yellowcake really is, and why sulfur, not uranium, may be what's powering reactors.We also talk about Aether as the bridge between science and spirituality, alchemy as the operative wing of Christianity, and why the old world looks the way it does.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[10:07] Every time someone says "quantum" they actually mean Aether[34:29] How they "prove" atoms exist by shooting light and measuring the scatter [56:10] Aether as the bridge between science and spirituality, and why they severed it[1:08:21] Thought forms create vortices in the Aether that sustain themselves indefinitely[1:18:17] Hiroshima isn't a wasteland, and what the bombs actually were[1:23:26] The yellowcake deception and why nuclear power is really just sulfur[1:49:50] Alchemy is the operative wing of Christianity and Jesus was the master[1:58:59] The millennial reign, Satan's little season, and why everything is inverted[2:09:49] How the four elements simplify health and why your body knows how to healRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Dismantling Scientism and Demystifying Alchemy featuring Dr. Steven Young | YouTubeThought, Light & The Liquid Language of God with Veda Austin | YouTubeThe Biggest Lies We Ever Bought About Earth, the Aether & the Universe | Dr. Robert Bennett | YouTubeChrist's Millennial Reign & Satan's Little Season with Paul Stobbs | YouTubeResources Mentioned:Hiroshima Revisited by Michael Palmer | BookCan You Catch a Cold? by Daniel Roytas | BookThe Red Lion by Maria Szepes | BookFind more from Dr. Steven:Dr. Steven A.

What if the key to solving employee disengagement, burnout, and turnover isn’t another productivity tool or incentive program, but intentional joy? In this conversation, host Bryan Bibbo sits down with Dave Caperton, internationally recognized keynote speaker, former stand-up comedian, and author, to explore how joy can be fuel for performance, innovation, and retention.  Dave draws a critical distinction between fleeting happiness and enduring joy, defining joy as “happiness firmly rooted in purpose.” Through personal stories, including a touching memory of his first day of school bus driver who knew his name, Dave illustrates how small acts of presence and recognition create lasting impact.   Key Topics:  Defining Intentional Joy: Understanding joy as happiness rooted in purpose that endures even through suffering, and why making joy a mission-level goal can change everything  The Four Elements of Joy: How practicing passion/enthusiasm, gratitude, kindness, and humor creates cultures where people thrive and why presence is the prerequisite for all four  Gratitude as the Cornerstone: Why gratitude is a powerful force in interpersonal relationships, how to practice it internally (perception) and externally (recognition), and the concept of “aspirational gratitude”  The Power of Presence: Why the greatest gift you can give others is your undivided attention, how distraction erodes connection, and the simple phrase “I just need your eyes” that transforms interactions  Building Joyful Cultures: Recognizing the top three employee needs (recognition, inclusion, being cared about), and why embeddedness trumps compensation in retention  Humor That Connects: The critical question “Does it require a victim?” and guidelines for using humor as a tool for connection rather than a weapon that alienates

Why your best life isn't about having the right answers, but about asking the right questions.Finding meaning and purpose in life isn't about having all the answers. For Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, it's about having the courage and curiosity to constantly engage with the questions.As designers, Burnett and Evans have careers spanning everything from academia to companies like Apple, Electronic Arts, and Hasbro. But beyond fashioning better products and user experiences, they've also put their expertise toward the transcendent, writing several books about designing and living lives filled with meaning and purpose.“Compasses say North, not Seattle,” says Evans, highlighting how many mistakenly think of purpose as a single destination. “We're all a dynamic, flowing, constantly changing thing. So how could a changing thing have one static right answer?” Instead, he and Burnett maintain that meaning is more about “going the right direction, not [finding] the right destination.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Burnett and Evans join host Matt Abrahams to explore their strategies for leading a purposeful life. Rather than “rehearsing [an] answer,” their method involves “living [a] question” — embracing curiosity and designing a life through dialogue with ourselves and with others.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Bill BurnettDave EvansBill and Dave's Book: How to Live a Meaningful LifeEp.181 Why Happiness is a Direction, Not a Destination: Communication, Happiness & WellbeingEp.138 Speak Your Truth: Why Authenticity Leads to Better Communication  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:02) - Meaning & Purpose as a Direction (01:42) - Coherence & Living in Alignment (02:23) - Design Thinking for Life Decisions (03:56) - Prototyping Conversations (05:29) - Odyssey Plans: Three Possible Futures (07:33) - The Four Elements of Meaning (09:22) - Wonder Glasses: Shifting Perspective (10:48) - Transactional vs. Flow World (12:36) - How to Build a Formative Community (13:59) - The Practice-to-Production Trap (15:07) - The Final Three Questions (18:35) - Conclusion

Rabbi Alan Morinis, founder of the Mussar Institute, is a leading figure in the contemporary revival of the Mussar movement, a 1,100-year-old authentic Jewish personal and communal spiritual tradition. A Rhodes Scholar and anthropologist (whose focus had been Hindu religious pilgrimages), he reached a personal turning point in his life in 1997 that led him to seek out the late Rabbi Yechiel Yitzchok Perr, an accomplished master who stood in an unbroken line of transmission of the Mussar tradition.Following years of study, he reinterpreted the ancient Mussar learnings and practices for modern audiences in Climbing Jacob's Ladder (2002) and Everyday Holiness (2007).

Two of the more common questions, especially from stores that are new to the Workstand platform, are ‘what are the keys to selling more?' and ‘what are the really successful stores doing to grow?'. Generally speaking, a shop needs to have four elements to generate revenue.  These four elements work together, and missing just one can kill growth.Products that are in demand - Shops need to have products that customers are searching for.  That can be 'the next cool gadget', the hot color way of a bike or helmet, or simply the right size.  Supplier Sync items are great, but having products in stock will lead to more sales. I would encourage stores to have a strong representation of a brand instead of 4 headlights from 4 different brands. Watch our recent inventory tips episode for more details on stocking and merchandising strategies and tacticsCompetitive pricing -  To have competitive pricing doesn't necessarily mean to have to beat the lowest price on the market, but at least match the lowest price.  Online shoppers are inherently looking for deals, so by not being competitive, you are removing your shop from a sales opportunity. Understand when/where you have pricing power and when you don't Competitive shipping - Nobody wants to pay for shipping.  If your shipping rates are not competitive, especially for an item that can be generally purchased from 20 other shops, then you will most likely lose that opportunity. Shipping rates and rules can easily be changed, so take some risk and get a good feel of what works.Leverage Supplier FulfillmentListen to the recent episode where we discuss shipping as a marketing toolGoogle Ads - You can have the above 3 elements covered, but without ads, your products are less likely to be seen.  However, without all 3 elements mentioned above, your ads can be ineffective.  Bonus - have all of the payment options for customers, Stripe/CCs, PayPal, FinancingFinally, don't forget the basics. Merchandising matters in the store and on the website. Keep it updated, keep it fresh, keep it seasonally relevant. Most of all, keep it accurate. Provide clear calls to action, focus on providing value and actionable information to your customers/the customers you want.Be sure to email your questions to podcast@workstand.com.

SummaryToday we slip into a cosmic campfire chat with Debra Silverman based in Colorado—where psychology shakes hands with the stars & the four elements (wind, earth, fire and water) become our guides. Debra's journey weaves scepticism with wonder, showing how astrology (despite its esoteric nature can actually ground us in community and help us really see ourselves through practical, lived experience.Together Jade & Debra dig into the pull of ritual & nature, the strange hum of technology in our relationships, & the quiet wisdom our elders carry.

Today's topic is all things matrescence as we look at the book, Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage. We will discuss the process of matrescence and the developmental steps that many people do not understand. Join us to learn more! Jessie Harrold is a coach and doula who has been supporting women through radical life transformations and other rites of passage for over 15 years. She works one-on-one with women and mothers to facilitate mentorship programs, women's circles, rituals, retreats, and nature-based experiences. Jessie is the author of Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage and Project Body Love: my quest to love my body and the surprising truth I found instead. She also hosts The Becoming Podcast. Jessie lives on the east coast of Canada, where she raises her two children, writes, and tends the land. Show Highlights: What is matrescence? Comparisons between matrescence and adolescence (both transitions are processes that take time) Jessie's model of matrescence: The Four Elements of Radical Transformation: Earth – Orient yourself to what's true, and name the change. Water – (Think tears.) Grief over the self you were before this transformation is a normal part of transitioning to motherhood. Air – The liminal space of the “in-between” when you haven't fully integrated into the identity of being a mother. Fire – An igniting of the ember within you as you integrate into the identity of motherhood. This motherhood transition is an opportunity to let go of other things that aren't serving us well. Systemic factors that force women into “losing themselves in motherhood” The challenges we face in motherhood are part of the development into matrescence, but we still need the tools and resources to navigate them. “The Mother Powers”- the things that help us get through matrescence Matrescence is a beautiful process.

The string quartet known as Brooklyn Rider features the usual two violins, viola and cello.  And that's about all that's usual with this band. Over the past two decades they have played with Yo Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble, Mexican singer Magos Herrera, Irish fiddler Martin Hayes, and banjo wiz Bela Fleck.  They've commissioned a bunch of new pieces, and now, to celebrate their 20th anniversary, they've released a new record called The Four Elements - a wide range of music from the past and the present which is representative of, or directly inspired by Earth, Air, Fire, Water. And in parallel, the record is also designed to raise the alarm and bring “attention to the powerful forces of climate change which represent the single greatest challenge of our time”, (Bandcamp). Brooklyn Rider plays new works and an older piece, in-studio.Set list: 1. Colin Jacobsen - A Short While To Be Here... - I.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 744How does astrology reveal your cosmic blueprint?Astrologer Debra Silverman joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 744, to reveal how the patterns of sacred geometry and planetary cycles can act as a shortcut to self-awareness, why astrology was silenced by religion, how the four elements unlock your highest potential, what it really means to be an “old soul,” and why true authenticity blooms when you align with your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs."You come with an assignment to learn or to do something, and you have to remember it. And that's what astrology's for. You can have a personality type that has problems. You can have a psychology that's really difficult but that's the contract that you signed at the beginning. And the minute you accept what you were handed, it becomes magic." - Debra Silverman

Welcome to episode 88 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino discuss one of the Buddha’s key teachings: the four immeasurable minds. When cultivated, these four qualities – love, compassion, joy, and equanimity – can help heal negative emotions and lead to a more fulfilling, compassionate life. Both hosts share personal stories and insights about how to apply these teachings, and how to help transform suffering and cultivate a deeper understanding and connection with ourselves and those around us. They emphasize the importance of self-love, deep listening, and embracing interbeing, as well as the power of small acts of kindness, the role of playfulness, the wisdom of non-discrimination in leading a more fulfilling life, and more.

The Earth doesn’t discriminate; it accepts all and is the mother of all.” “Understanding is love, and it’s the most profound love because, when you understand, there’s no longer a barrier between you and me as separate people.” “The safest foundation is understanding. When you have that, you can work tirelessly because your understanding is your compass. And it can give you so much insight and so many ways of bridging the separation.” “One word can release suffering, one action can save a life.” “Looking with eyes of compassion, we can listen deeply to the cries of the world.” “There is a truth in Buddhism that, no matter what condition you’re going to find yourself in, suffering’s going to be there; your mind is going to create moments of ‘you’re not enough'.” “Why not be soft? There is so much strength in softness.” “Thay talked about how we can find joy in everything, that we can find joy in a pebble on the beach, we can find joy in a flower. We can find joy in someone’s smile. We can find joy in the fact that we’re alive. We can find joy in the fact that we can see all the textures and colors in the world. It doesn't have to be a big thing, but it is the recognition of what it is to be alive.” “I love the idea that one smile from somebody can restore our faith in humanity. Often, we think we have to act in big ways; that we have to carry out bold actions to create change. But one smile can genuinely save someone’s life. As Thay said, one small action can save a life; even a smile can change a life. We underestimate the power of the small things in life. We’re taught to see things in grand ways, but, often, seeing things in the small ways can be more important.” “Non-discrimination is the wisdom that we all are children of this Earth and we manifest on this Earth and we will return to the Earth.” “We should never be too sure of ourselves, our views, and our feeling of righteousness, because that only leads to more division.” “When you touch these elements of true love, loving kindness, compassion, and joy, your interbeing becomes stronger. Because if you have joy and you’ve tasted it, don’t you want others to have joy?” “Non-discrimination is for the more-than-human world as well; it’s for all beings. Because it’s very easy to separate ourselves from the natural world and to forget that, actually, the health of the trees is our health and the health of the oceans is our health; that, actually, the love that Mother Earth gives to us is also the love that we can offer back. So there’s a real feeling of reciprocity there.”

What is a calling? How does it shape our work and life? What's the hidden cost of pursuing it (and what can we do about it)? In this engaging, high-energy conversation, Michael and Megan sit down with Dr. Arianna Molloy—calling researcher, author, and professor—to unpack the power and pitfalls of purpose-driven work.Arianna reveals the four key elements of a true calling, practical safeguards to prevent burnout, and three concrete shifts anyone in any field can make to start experiencing a greater sense of purpose and meaning at work.  She also explains why humility—not just passion—is the key to sustainable success. If you've ever struggled to balance meaningful work with a healthy life, this episode is a must-listen.Memorable Quotes“Burnout from a calling isn't just, ‘I don't know what I'm doing anymore.' It's, ‘I don't know who I am anymore.'”“To learn how to rest well, to learn how to have good boundaries actually protects that healthy sense of your calling.”“It is so important that work is not all that you have and all that you are because, guess what? At the end of the day, [your work] is going to change and shift… If we hold that with a closed hand, it's not going to go well.”“[Calling is] really relational. It's a relationship with yourself, the caller, and it's a relationship with the community that you impact.”“Most of the time, [calling] happens upon reflection… In the moment, it's not so obvious. This subtle sense of peace, or just a feeling like, ‘I think this is right.'”“We don't honor that need and importance of play as much as we could.”“The lynchpin is humility. Part of humility is the willingness to learn more, to know that you don't know everything and that is not a threat—it's actually exciting.”Key TakeawaysThe Bright and Dark Sides of Calling.
