In this episode, Fr. Anthony examines the nature of ultimate reality—God, gods, and the arche'—through Scripture and the Fathers. With insights from Journey to Reality, he shows how God transcends all categories and draws us into worship and transformation.  Enjoy the show! ------ Ultimate Reality: God, gods, arche' Fr. Anthony Perkins; 10 September 2025 Text: Zachery Porcu, PhD. 2025. “Chapter 2 – Ultimate Reality” in Journey to Reality; Sacramental Life in a Secular Age.  Ancient Faith Publishing. Verses to Frame the Discussion Exodus 24:10. And they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet as it were a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness. Exodus 33:11. Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tent. Isaiah 6:5. And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!” HE IS GREATER EVEN THAN THIS (SOME FUN WITH AN “INCONSISTENCY”  Exodus 33:17-20. And the LORD said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.” Moses said, “I pray thee, show me thy glory.” And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim before you my name ‘The LORD'; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. But,” he said, “you cannot see my face; for man shall not see me and live.” St. Ambrose: “Who shall see my face and live?” Scripture said, and rightly so. For our eyes cannot bear the sun's rays, and whoever turns too long in its direction is generally blinded, so they say. Now if one creature cannot look upon another creature without loss and harm to himself, how can he see the dazzling face of his eternal Creator while covered with the clothing that is this body? St. Gregory of Nyssa: He would not have shown himself to his servant if the sight were such as to bring the desire of the beholder to an end, since the true sight of God consists in this, that the one who looks up to God never ceases in that desire. For he says, “You cannot see my face, for man cannot see me and live.” Scripture does not indicate that this causes the death of those who look, for how would the face of life ever be the cause of death to those who approach it? On the contrary, the divine is by its nature life-giving. Yet it is the characteristic of the divine nature to transcend all characteristics. Therefore he who thinks God is something to be known does not have life, because he has turned from true being to what he considers by sense perception to have being. Job 38:19-20.  “Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and where is the place of darkness,   that you may take it to its territory and that you may discern the paths to its home? 1 Timothy 6:16. I charge you to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;  and this will be made manifest at the proper time by the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,  who alone has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. John 1:18. No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known. On the resulting religion: Revelation 9-11.  And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever; they cast their crowns before the throne, singing,  “Worthy art thou, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for thou didst create all things, and by thy will they existed and were created.” 2 Corinthians 3:18.  And we all, with unveiled face, beholding[a] the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. St. John Chrysostom.  The Spirit is God, and we are raised to the level of the apostles, because we shall all behold him together with uncovered faces. As soon as we are baptized, the soul beams even more brightly than the sun because it is cleansed by the Spirit, and we not only behold God's glory, we also receive from it a kind of splendor. Segue to the book chapter (theosis requires a repentant mind) Religion should be more than our consumer society would lead us to believe it is. “What is the nature of reality?”  What does it all mean? Mankind wants to know, and he has tried to provide answers.  Many involve a mysterious higher power we call God. The problem with the word “God.” [Psalm 94:3.  For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods.] [Isaiah 45:5.. I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God.] Zachary Porcu's solution: Arche' Other solutions? Capital “G” God.  “I AM”.  Unmoved Mover. Light.  True God. Tian, Brahman, Absolute. What is the Arche' like? (P. 25; J) Life (essence).  Light (essence) Arche compared to gods, angels, men, and rocks. Last paragraph of chapter; So then, when we ask about whether there is a God in this sense, we are not asking whether there is some specific superhuman entity that orders or governs the universe.  That is thinking far too small.  We are asking about the arche' of all being: the source, principle, the thing that is being itself.  This is the highest of all questions; there is nothing the answer does not affect.  NOTE: The question of whether the God of the Old Testament was the arche' or a demiurge was settled decisively: God was, is, and always shall be perfect and uncreated.

Let's Chat!What happens when the detective becomes the evidence? In this haunting noir episode of Gentleman's Journey, we step into a rain-soaked Chicago where Detective Grayson finds himself at the center of a disturbing case—his own photograph circled in red, hanging pristine above a murder victim in a frame shop where every other frame lies shattered.As Grayson pursues the killer known as "The Greenbrier," he's forced to confront the versions of himself he abandoned along the way—the rookie with ideals, the lover who couldn't stay, the man who built a life out of cigarette smoke and silence. Mirrors refuse to show his reflection, mysterious music plays at precisely the right moment, and photographs of his past self appear in places they shouldn't be. Is he investigating a murder, or is someone investigating him?Through this gripping noir narrative, we explore how we all frame ourselves—the social media personas we craft, the stories we tell that make us sound better than we were, the memories we crop until they become fiction. Each frame becomes a cage that traps a moment in time, preventing growth and authenticity. And eventually, something or someone comes to break the glass.The episode culminates in five powerful reflections to help you identify where you've framed yourself into corners and practical applications to break free. Because peace of mind isn't found in keeping your picture perfect—it's found in shattering the glass, sweeping up the pieces, and stepping out of the frame before someone else decides to do it for you.Ready to discover which version of yourself you've hung on the wall? Listen now, and remember: you create your reality."True mastery is found in the details. The way you handle the little things defines the way you handle everything."

You can't always control what happens to you—but you can control how you frame it. In Part 2 of Winning The War in Your Mind, Chris unpacks how the stories we tell ourselves shape the way we live, and how reframing our perspective through God's truth can bring clarity and peace, even when life doesn't go the way we planned.Next Steps:

Barney Mauleverer embodies a life philosophy of putting yourself in luck's path through curiosity and generalist thinking. Rather than following a linear career plan, he embraced chaos and uncertainty in his twenties, taking seemingly random jobs that ultimately built the foundation for entrepreneurial success. His approach centers on listening first - understanding what customers and buyers actually need before developing solutions.At the core of his philosophy is the belief that entrepreneurs are the true risk-takers who deserve recognition, not the buyers and investors often treated as industry gods. He advocates for open collaboration over competitive secrecy, viewing global challenges like population growth as opportunities for innovation rather than insurmountable problems. ~His current Future of Food initiative reflects this worldview - creating platforms for entrepreneurs to share knowledge and collectively address industry challenges while championing the next generation of food innovators.Key TakeawaysEmbrace being a generalist - Multiple interests and skills can be a superpower rather than a weakness in entrepreneurshipPut yourself in luck's path - Take varied experiences and stay curious about different opportunities to create your own breaksListen before you sell - Understand customer pain points and buyer motivations before developing products or pitchesPre-sell the vision - Test market demand with concepts before investing heavily in product development and manufacturingThink like your buyer - Consider what success looks like for the person across the table, not just what you want to achieveFail forward strategically - Use disasters and rejections as learning opportunities rather than endpointsBuild from customer need - Start with solving real problems rather than falling in love with your own product ideasChampion the risk-takers - Recognize entrepreneurs as the true drivers of innovation rather than treating buyers and investors as godsCollaborate openly - Share knowledge and work together on industry-wide challenges rather than hoarding competitive advantagesFocus on opportunity over problems - Frame global challenges like population growth and resource constraints as innovation opportunities rather than insurmountable issues Daring Creativity.

Today Eric emphasizes the crucial role of professionalism and word choice in sales interactions. He argues that just as one wouldn't appear in unprofessional attire for an in-person meeting, using inappropriate language or slang is equally detrimental to a client's perception. The episode provides numerous examples of unacceptable vocabulary in sales, such as "cost," "problem," "cheap," "try," or "part ways," contrasting them with more effective alternatives like "investment," "challenge," "cost-effective," "experience," and "agreement." The overarching message is that every word contributes to the client's perception of trustworthiness and competence, underscoring the importance of thoughtful communication in sales presentations and discovery calls.  Key Takeaways: Always dress professionally for sales consultations to convey respect and seriousness. Refrain from using profanity, locker room talk, or casual slang in professional interactions. Choose positive and professional vocabulary, such as "investment" instead of "cost" and "challenge" instead of "problem." Frame your sales approach as a service or presentation aimed at helping clients, rather than merely "pitching." Be mindful that every word you use shapes the client's perception and can either build trust or create resistance.

This week's live was all about one of the trickiest (and most important) topics in dressage: contact and connection. What do those words really mean? How do you find the “right” amount of contact, and how do you help your horse find a frame that's soft, supple, and sustainable?We broke it all down with real rider questions and practical answers you can try in your next ride.In this episode, you'll hear:The difference between contact (taking the slack out of the reins) and connection (the whole flow of energy through the horse)How to keep transitions balanced when your horse pulls, dives, or leansWhat “the weight of a soda can” has to do with correct rein feelWhy curling behind the vertical or hollowing both come back to engagementTips for motivating the “lazy” horse without naggingHow to ride better corners — especially with older or less supple horsesA preview of 30 Days to Round (with $10,000 in prizes) and how it helps retrain contact and roundness step by stepWe also shared takeaways from watching the European Championships, where great contact looked effortless, and why “roundness” is about more than a pretty neck — it's about biomechanics, mental relaxation, and creating a horse that's truly rideable.Happy Riding,AmeliaPS.

The absolute state of the NSVRC. Programs that participated in the Sexual Assault Demonstration Initiative (SADI) assessed how effective they were at serving various groups of survivors, including men and boys. When programs ranked groups in terms of how well staff thought they were serving them, men and boys regularly ranked at the bottom of all groups. The SADI helped programs learn that sexual assault specific services need to integrate trauma-informed and anti-oppression frameworks that address the unique and multi-faceted needs of many different survivors (including male survivors who had not been reached previously by their services) and to prioritize skills such as active listening, empathy, building rapport, empowerment, and collaboration.

Visual Intonation Podcast steps into the world of Raj Debah, a New York-born artist whose work tells stories others have left untold. Raised in the Bronx by first-generation West Indian parents, Raj uses the lens of mixed media to illuminate the silenced voices of indentured and indigenous peoples connected to the Caribbean. His images speak in layers—photos, found footage, artifacts—woven into a visual language that bridges memory, migration, and resistance.Debah's journey is not just artistic, it's personal. His work reflects a lifelong reckoning with identity, rooted in the tension between belonging and erasure. Through collage and video, he explores the quiet corners of human isolation and the shifting contours of cultural evolution. These are the stories of movement, of lives in between, of history rarely archived but deeply felt.Across decades of practice, Raj has shaped imagery for icons like Lee Fields and Pharaoh Sanders, and has collaborated with global brands such as Converse, The James Hotel Group, and Timberland. His visual voice has echoed through projects with Nike, Supreme, The North Face, and more. Whether in a gallery at Frieze LA or on the walls of Miami Basel, his work pulses with urgency and intent.Now based in Los Angeles, Raj continues to explore new creative territories alongside longtime collaborator Jarvis. Together, they've built a body of work that challenges censorship, confronts bigotry, and keeps truth alive through image and sound. Visual Intonation Podcast invites you into that space—a place where past meets present, and every frame tells a story worth hearing.Raj Debah's Website: rajdebah.comRaj Debah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rajdebah/?hl=enSupport the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

We discuss Meta's next steps for smart glasses, including Meta AI gaining calendar access and Meta Connect's agenda essentially confirming a smart glasses SDK; Wist's Minority Report-style memory replay on Apple Vision Pro and Quest; a surge in Quest 3 and 3S usage on SteamVR and whether sales and the Xbox Edition drove it; how Windows MR headsets are being revived by the free Oasis SteamVR driver, now auto-installed by the SteamVR beta; Valve bringing Steam Link to Pico headsets; and whether Valve's newly registered Steam Frame trademark points to its next headset.

Quote of the Day: "Pre-framing is telling somebody, getting someone to focus on something, knowing in advance what you're going to focus on and giving it a meaning in advance before it happens. That's a lot easier than after it's happened because after it's happened you have a meaning locked in." - Tony RobbinsAudio Source: https://youtu.be/eeU1fNZ2pZA?si=-TSC8qtiuu3Yk6UfIf you enjoyed today's episode: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave a review on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support via Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check Out My Business Adventures Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Upcoming Newsletter

The photo world is filled with remarkable young and up-and-coming talents. They often don't get the visibility they deserve, so we created Next Frame—a new monthly series aiming to shine a light their way. These bite-sized episodes are equally inspired by the guests we speak with and the invaluable contributions of local creative arts programs that have played a key role in their development. We're launching this series with photographer, filmmaker, and boxing & music aficionado Josh Nass, an alumnus of Baltimore's Wide Angle Youth Media programs. From nailing his Photoshop skills while still in middle school to trading in his boxing gloves for a camera during college and beyond, Josh regales us with practical tips about both the successes and challenges all young creatives must face as they transition from trading pictures for access to molding media skills into a profitable career. Looking back on his early days chasing both music and fashion scenes, Josh notes, “Your main role as a photographer—especially with talent and famous people—you know, I thought I was just making them look cool, but I'm making them money. I'm marketing them for their next tour, for their current tour. Looking back, I've learned a thing or two about how to get users' attention online.” Guest: Josh Nass   Episode Timeline: 2:04: Baltimore/DC-based photographer Josh Nass talks about first picking up a camera to fill his time after hanging up his boxing gloves. 3:40: Leveraging social media to get on stage and photograph his favorite Caribbean singer, then trading free pictures for ongoing access. 7:25: Navigating one's comfort level as an up-and-coming photographer, plus making a distinction between comfort with gear and social ease with subjects and clients. 9:08: Making pictures of cool moments, creative editing decisions to draw out the cool factor, and being first to deliver the files are all key to Josh's success. 14:02: Street hustling at New York Fashion Week to gain access to photograph top artists and celebrities, and the tough lessons Josh learned in the process. 19:06: Josh's connection to Baltimore's Wide Angle Youth Media and the formative role their programs have played in his early photography success. 22:50: Being referred by Wide Angle for a Comcast commercial, and the backstory to what transpired behind-the-scenes.  29:49: Josh weighs future career options and whether he'll choose to pursue photography full time.  35:40: Essential advice for emerging photographers: Prioritize building your skills and don't overvalue your work early on.

फ़ोटो फ़्रेम के पीछे का चेहरा In 2012, a couple moved into a flat in Nasik, where an old photo frame with black paper mysteriously hung. Attempts to remove it failed as it wouldn't budge from the wall. Each night, shadows and movements appeared within the black frame, accompanied by eerie whispers calling the wife's name. On one chilling night, a ghostly face appeared briefly on the paper, and the wife vanished. The frame now shows a photo with black eyes and a shadowy hand on the shoulder, with unexplained wet footprints leading up to it. Police found no clues, and paranormal phenomena continue, with new photos mysteriously appearing, showing distorted faces.

Last week's discussion about The Zero Accountability Salesperson seemed to resonate with a lot of people. And the biggest questions I got were related to how to fix this. How can I help myself and/or my salespeople to be more conscious of the actions we need to take, and to take those actions on a consistent basis? Hi and welcome back. In our last episode, we touched on a lot of important points related to what I would call The Zero Accountability Salesperson Culture: Most businesses don't deliberately create a zero accountability culture. It just happens when systems and processes are missing. When salespeople say things like, "It's going great, I'm having a lot of good conversations. I've got a lot of people in the pipeline," that tells you nothing. Without metrics, it's just wasted words. Accountability is not punishment. It's about providing clarity on what's working, what's not, and how to fix it. If you haven't thoroughly reviewed that episode, I encourage you to go back and check it out now. But today, I'd like to give you a quick, bullet-pointed list on the things you can do right now to start creating a culture of accountability for yourself and your sales team. To get started: ✅ Start with one key metric. Don't overwhelm your team. Begin by tracking a single activity, like the number of new targets acquired or prospects qualified in or out each week. In our Total Market Domination program, we have an Activity/Results Audit that our clients use to track the ten most important activities that lead to sales. But even starting out small will begin to create a sense of accountability for yourself and your people. ✅ Define what counts. Be clear about what “initiating contact” means in your organization. Making a phone call and not getting an answer doesn't count if no contact is initiated. Real contact, conversations, and interactions count. The rest is meaningless. ✅ Add one metric at a time. As you start getting consistent application on the first key metric, introduce the next one that flows from there. What are steps you and your salespeople need to take to move a new prospect from total stranger to paying client? Those are the activities that need to be taken and tracked in your business. ✅ Create a cadence of accountability. Establish a weekly rhythm where salespeople report on the metrics you require. Make it consistent, like a drumbeat. Miss just one or two and the whole thing will be forgotten in no time. ✅ Build accountability into your systems. Use your CRM or even a simple shared Google Doc to capture and share activity. The easier it is to track, the less resistance you'll face. ✅ Focus on metrics that matter. Don't waste time with busywork stats that don't impact sales outcomes. There are a lot of those, so be sure to measure only the activities that truly drive sales results. ✅ Link activity to outcomes. Help salespeople understand how improving even one single metric (like initiating new contacts) drives the next step (like getting those prospects qualified in our out as quickly as possible.) When you do this correctly, accountability feels more like a reward than a punishment. ✅ Frame accountability as support. Make sure your team understands this isn't about a lack of trust. It's about you helping them to systematically identify and eliminate the bottlenecks that keep them from selling up to their potential. ✅ Stay consistent. Don't let reporting slide over time. The moment accountability becomes optional, the culture of zero accountability will come roaring back to life. ✅ Adapt for individuals. High performers might require less oversight, but everyone benefits from clarity. Make sure everyone in your organization knows that you're there to help them thrive. This means customizing expectations of your team, without ever lowering standards. The best salespeople want to succeed, and they'll be open to any of your efforts to help in that regard...

At a BookTok Dark Fantasy convention, a male cosplayer was treated worse than any female cosplayer at any convention anywhere, being assaulted by a horde of female romantacy fans to the extent his body paint was smeared everywhere, he had blacked out from panic and later realized someone placed an AirTag on his person, which he did not discover until he got back to his hotel room. Alison will now chime in!

At the Sinners & Stardust convention, focused on "dark fantasy" or "romantasy" books, there were reports of inappropriate behavior where male attendees and authors were groped by some female attendees. This was discussed in a YouTube video by Clownfish TV, which highlighted that such actions were non-consensual and raised concerns about double standards in media coverage compared to if the genders were reversed. No specific individual was named as a victim, and the incident was described more generally as affecting multiple men at the event.

Order the book "Framing Your World" https://www.eiwm.org/product/51299/framing-your-worldIn this life-changing message, I'm here to tell you something vital—God can't do anything for you unless you help yourself. You were created in His image to frame your world with His Word. Don't let Satan, the culture, or the system dictate your reality. Every day, you step into a world that either you framed—or someone else did. But from this moment forward, you have the power to speak victory, healing, success, and peace into your life. Stop waiting on God to move when He's already given you the blueprint—His Word. Frame your health, your finances, your marriage, your children—frame your world starting now.I've walked this road for over 50 years, and I'm telling you from experience—faith talks, faith walks, and faith manifests. You're not here by accident. You're anointed to change your life and your future. Don't speak defeat. Speak purpose. Speak prosperity. Call things that be not as though they were, and watch how your situation shifts. This is your divine moment to stop blaming and start framing. Now ask yourself: What are you saying about your life? Because your words are either building God's world or Satan's in your life. It's time to choose—frame your world with the Word of God.August 24, 2025 | SUNDAY AMSunday Morning LiveLeroy Thompson TV FULL VIDEO LINK - Framing Your World With The Word of God⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://leroythompson.tv/programs/sun082425⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CONNECT NOW - BECOME A PARTNER ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eiwm.org/partnership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | or TEXT "Connect" to 225-230-2234 To GIVE/SOW click the link below! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eiwm.org/give⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | or TEXT "Sow" to 225-230-2234TESTIMONY?Email your testimonies to victory@eiwm.orgMORE LINKS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/drleroysr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#meditation #faith

Are you losing respect in your relationship without realizing why? It's a frame problem. In this episode we uncover why men over 30 often struggle with attraction, respect, and influence in long term relationships — and how it all comes back to frame and mindset. Drawing from praxeology and the concept of the Dominant Masculine Presence, we'll explore how mental frame shapes attraction, decision making, and personal authority. You'll learn how to rebuild a strong frame in marriage, apply stoic frame control to conflict, and reset your paradigm to attract respect and connection again. Whether you're facing marriage problems, relationship doubts, or loss of attraction over time, this discussion will show how mastering masculine frame and reframing your mindset can change everything.

At Gen Con this year, we kicked off Ascension's 15-year anniversary celebration. I had the chance to meet so many fans who have been part of this community for over a decade; the experience was both humbling and rewarding.We just launched the Gamefound Campaign for the Ascension 15th Anniversary Collector's Edition and I've been reflecting on the incredible journey that brought us here. What began as a casual prototype I created to play with friends between rounds of Magic tournaments has grown into a game that connects millions of players around the world.Here are the five most important lessons I've learned, each has transformed Ascension from a prototype to a global phenomenon.Lesson 1: Prototype and Iterate FastWhen I first started working on Ascension, I never expected it to become the success it is today. It was 2009, and I had just quit my job to start my own game company. The funny thing about starting a company is that until you're making money and collaborating with others, the difference between “CEO/Game Designer” and “guy sitting on his couch” is mostly a matter of attitude.At the time, I had spent over a hundred hours playing the deckbuilding game Dominion. This game pioneered the genre, offering the fun of deckbuilding without the hassle of collecting cards. As a Magic: The Gathering Pro, I loved that it delivered the joy of constructing a deck without buying packs or managing a collection. Eventually, however, the game became predictable. Because each setup of available cards was fixed from the start, I rarely needed to change my strategy. I also found that the game took too long to set up, impacting the ratio of fun to busy work in a way I thought could be improved.The secret to creating Ascension was simple: remove the things from Dominion that get in the way of fun.My first prototype was literally just a shuffled pile of Dominion cards, which instantly cut 20 minutes off setup time. Mind you, this prototype wasn't good, but it gave me a quick sense of how the gameplay might feel, and I could see a spark of something great there. My next prototype was nothing more than sharpie scribbles on blank cards. Since my prototypes were quick and ugly, I had no problem throwing them out and making rapid changes. That freedom allowed Ascension to go from idea to store shelves in under 18 months.The lesson: Your first prototype should be so ugly you're embarrassed to show it to anyone. That embarrassment is freedom—freedom to fail fast, change everything, and find the fun without falling in love with your first ideas.Lesson 2: When in Doubt, Cut it outMost new designers try to solve problems by adding things to their games. The correct answer is almost always to cut instead.Ascension started by cutting Dominion's purchase and play restrictions. This streamlined the game and gave players more choices each turn, but also required me to add a second resource [power] to keep tension high. This change was just the start, the biggest cut came much later in development.Ascension's signature innovation was the ever changing center row, which dramatically increased the variety in each game. At the same time, this mechanic also created the risk of a stalled board state, meaning that if players weren't able to buy anything from the center, nothing would change and the game would drag on. My original solution was a “conveyor belt” mechanic, where, at the end of each turn, the rightmost card was banished and everything slid down. This guaranteed movement and created tension as cards neared the edge.The problem was that players kept forgetting to slide the cards down. Every. Single. Game.I tried everything: special cards that interacted with the conveyor belt, giant reminder text on the board, entire mechanics to make sliding feel essential. Nothing worked. Then one playtester asked the question that should have been obvious but I was blind to: "What if we just cut that rule?"We shuffled up, played without it, and never looked back. The game was cleaner, faster, and more fun. Did the board stall occasionally? Yes, but we could mitigate that by subtly adjusting card costs and adding banish effects players could buy when needed. In this case, the conveyor belt cure was far worse than the occasional stalled board disease.The lesson: Every mechanic costs mental energy. When facing a design challenge, always ask first: "What can I eliminate to solve this problem?" Remember, "dead now" doesn't mean "dead forever." Cut mechanics make great expansion content later.Lesson 3: Perfect Your Pitch Through RepetitionEvery game needs a killer hook, and the only way to find it is through repetition. Brutal, exhausting repetition.I learned this the hard way at my first Gen Con booth, where we sold the first copies of Ascension 15 years ago. Over the course of the show, you pitch the game a hundred times. You refine, adjust, and figure out what works. By the end, I could pitch and demo Ascension in my sleep. I knew exactly how to get someone hooked, and the moment I no longer needed to be there (for Ascension, it's usually turn three, when players start seeing the new cards they purchased and get excited about improving their decks).Whenever possible, use things your audience already knows as a reference, combine two familiar concepts, or give a twist to something they've seen before. You need to get information about your target audience and customize the pitch to them. Once they're hooked, you can guide them into a demo and, hopefully, into buying the game and sharing it with friends.In 2010, if I knew my audience played Magic, my go-to pitch was:“Imagine all the fun of drafting card packs in Magic, all with just one lifetime purchase.”If they were familiar with Dominion, an effective pitch was:“Ascension is like Dominion, but with a fun fantasy theme and you can play an entire game in the time it takes to set up a game of Dominion.”If they weren't familiar with either game category, I would usually start with a more theme forward pitch:“Ascension is a 30 minute card game where you recruit mighty heroes and weapons to defeat monsters and earn honor.”At first, pitching this way feels awkward. You have to train yourself to read the audience, adapt, and take feedback from their reactions. The best games also make it easy for players to teach friends, and those people become your best marketers. The more you practice pitching and running live demos, the more it will shape your design choices, helping you create games that are not only fun to play, but also fun to learn and teach.The lesson: Practice pitching your game early and often. Alex Yeager's 2-2-2 demo framework is a fantastic tool for game designers (you can hear more about it on my podcast with Alex here). Whether you need a two-sentence pitch, a two-minute overview, or a two-player demo, tailoring the level of detail to your audience is key. This approach prevents overwhelming your audience with too much information at once while still providing a clear and concise introduction to your game.Lesson 4: Know Your Core Tension and Protect ItEvery great game revolves around one central tension that hooks players.* In Uno, you're trying to empty your hand without unlocking your opponents' cards.* In chess, you protect your king while threatening your opponent's king.* In poker, you want to win the pot but must risk chips without knowing what others hold.* In Magic: The Gathering, the one-land-per-turn restriction forces agonizing tradeoffs about which spells to cast.For Ascension, the core tension is this: adapting to an ever-changing market while your opponents threaten to snatch the exact cards you need.The game sings when there are multiple exciting cards supporting your strategy, but your opponent might grab them first. Every choice matters because the board state is temporary. Purchasing a Mechana construct early makes each successive mechana construct better, but if your opponent cuts you off from the cards you need then your strategy could fall apart.Understanding this core tension has guided 15 years of expansions. Every new mechanic is built to enhance this central dynamic, but never replace it. Our newest expansion, Ascension Legends, turns faction choice into a higher-stakes decision than ever with the Legendary Track system. As you climb each faction's track, you unlock powerful bonuses. Suddenly, that “meh” Lifebound hero becomes essential because it pushes you toward a game-breaking legendary power. Multi-faction cards become contested treasures. The tension ratchets up, but the heart of Ascension remains intact.In the 15th anniversary campaign, I've designed an entirely new card type that impacts every game called Chronicles. Chronicle cards were an interesting challenge to design, because I wanted to make something that honored Ascension's history, impacts every game, and could work with whatever expansion(s) you chose to play it with. But I've always believed constraints breed creativity and these constraints were no exception. There are 17 Chronicle cards available in this campaign. At the start of the game, you can select any two of them and set them beside the center row. Each one adds a new game rule or unique cards to the game. Each of these 17 cards was designed to highlight one of our previous expansions and compress its impact on the core tension into a single effect. Because they are promos and players can opt in to which ones they want to play with, I also felt more free to make more powerful abilities that I would never put into a normal set. For example, one card representing Darkness Unleashed, where we first introduced transforming cards, adds the rule: “At the start of the game, each player removes one Apprentice and one Militia from their Starting Deck and Transforms them into one Mystic and one Heavy Infantry.” These cards are a great way to radically shake up the game and have some fun reevaluating old cards and strategies in the light of new mechanics. You can learn more about the new card type in our update here.The lesson: Identify your game's core tension in one or two sentences. Write it down. Frame it. Before adding any new mechanic, ask: "Does this enhance or dilute our core?" As your game inevitably grows more complex, staying true to its core ensures it evolves in the right direction.Think Like A Game Designer is a reader-supported publication.

"Ascension has become our special thing. We play together almost every night, and it's given us this amazing way to connect."His daughter beamed and jumped into the conversation, eager to tell me about her favorite faction (lifebound) and the strategies she'd discovered.What struck me wasn't just their enthusiasm—it was the math. She wasn't even born when Ascension first released in 2010. Yet here she was, fifteen years later, experiencing the same joy of discovery that's captivated players from day one. That's when I realized we hadn't just created a game—we'd built something that bridges generations.From the beginning, Ascension was deliberately designed to feel less confrontational than other strategy games. You're not attacking other players—you're all racing toward your own goals while your opponent does the same. Only the shared center row and occasional monster effect encourage direct competition.This makes Ascension approachable to partners, friends, and family members who might be intimidated by more aggressive games. I've heard from hundreds of players who say Ascension was their entry point into tabletop gaming. Even the partner of a hardcore gamer can enjoy Ascension because even when you lose, you still get to build something cool and feel progression throughout the game.This design philosophy has created a community where parents can genuinely enjoy playing with their children, where couples can bond over evening games, and where someone whose only card game experience is Uno can sit down and have fun within minutes. The rules are simple enough to teach quickly, but the strategy is deep enough to reward returning players.The secret to lasting community is making everyone feel welcome at the table. Even competitive card games like Magic have benefited enormously from more social formats like Commander which allow new players to enjoy the experience without as much direct conflict. Even for SolForge Fusion, the game I co-created with Richard Garfield as a very competitive game, we created a campaign mode and storyline tournaments that make players allies against a common cause, helping them root for each other and take on challenges that are less directly antagonistic with other players.The lesson: Your game's community will outlive any individual player if you design it to include rather than exclude, to welcome rather than intimidate, and to create shared positive experiences rather than zero-sum conflicts. Think about how your design allows players of different skill levels to enjoy the journey together. The best victories are the ones you can celebrate with the person across the table, not at their expense.Fifteen years ago, I was just a guy on a couch with a dream and a Sharpie. Today, Ascension connects hundreds of thousands of players across the world—parents and children, partners and friends, veterans and newcomers. As we launch our 15th anniversary campaign on Gamefound, featuring exclusive anniversary editions and the brand-new designs, I'm not just grateful for the game we've built. I'm grateful for the community you've helped us create.I am beyond grateful for the community that has supported the last 15 years, and I can't wait to continue to grow together over the next 15!Join our 15th anniversary celebration at Gamefound and get exclusive anniversary rewards available nowhere else.— Justin Gary This is a public episode.

This 5 part narrative non-fiction series is about the rapid flux in the creative industry and navigating transitions as a creative person. I think we can all relate and I got so much from the series I wanted to share it with all of you! Hope you love it! Here's a little more about the series: “The animation podcast that's… not really about animation. Ghost Frame is a narrative nonfiction podcast exploring the creative industry through storytelling, sound-rich scenes, and personal reflection—all framed by one creator's career crossroads.” ALSO Patreon and Substack supporters will have access to a BTS conversation between Sarah Beth and I about the series, so be sure to check that out:andyjpizza.substack.compatreon.com/creativepeptalk   SHOW NOTES: Sarah Beth Morganhttps://www.sarahbethmorgan.com Ghost Frame on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ghost-frame/id1814128797 Ghost Frame on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/4dpUSAANUNsukVTMbkuEDC?si=1cbe0dba190045c5 SPONSORS:SQUARESPACEHead to https://www.squarespace.com/PEPTALK to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code PEPTALK Learn more about your ad choices.
