The Productisation Imperative: A Survival Guide for the AI EraIntroduction: The Unseen Threat to Your ExpertiseIn an AI-driven world, your expertise is not merely at risk—it is actively being targeted for absorption. If it remains unstructured, locked away in your mind or scattered across informal conversations, it will be hijacked by AI systems or rendered invisible in a revolution moving faster than you can react. The core tension of this new era is not that AI replaces incompetence, but that it actively "hijacks un-productised competence."Current debates around AI's impact are a tsunami of confusion, with critics and advocates arguing past each other, attacking concepts that haven't been clearly defined or separated. This guide cuts through the noise. Its purpose is to provide a clear, structured framework for understanding the "Productisation Imperative"—a critical strategy for securing your value and thriving in the age of AI.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. Why the AI Debate Is So ConfusedThe central reason for the confusion in the public discourse on AI's impact is a consistent misinterpretation of the concepts at play. Critics frequently make category errors, leading to flawed arguments that miss the core issue.This confusion stems from a failure to distinguish between a strategic necessity, an economic model, and an academic field. Specifically:* An imperative is being attacked as if it were a business model.* A business model is being attacked as if it were an academic claim.* Studies are being attacked as if they were marketing rhetoric.To have a productive conversation, we must first separate these ideas. The solution is a simple, three-layer framework that brings clarity to the discussion.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------2. The Solution: A Three-Layer Framework for ClarityThe key to a coherent discussion is to explicitly separate the three interconnected but distinct layers of productisation. Each layer builds on the one before it, answering a different fundamental question.Productisation Imperative → PIBM → Productisation StudiesThis framework allows us to analyze each component on its own terms, preventing the category errors that plague the current debate.Layer Primary Purpose Core Question it AnswersLayer 1: The Productisation Imperative Survival Mandate Why is this essential for survival?Layer 2: PIBM Economic Design How can structured intelligence create value?Layer 3: Productisation Studies Analytical Discipline What is this phenomenon and how can we classify it?By understanding this separation, we can move from confusion to clarity. Let's explore each layer in detail, starting with the foundation.-------------------------------------------------Conclusion: From Theory to Reality in a Zero-Click WorldThis three-layer framework is not just a theoretical exercise; it is a map for navigating our current reality. This is not theoretical. When AI systems mislabel a creator like Lea Turner as a "coach" in a widely-circulated list—despite her explicit profile information stating otherwise—we see a "narrative control crisis" in real-time. Without a productised, machine-readable identity to serve as the definitive source, your professional narrative is subject to being overwritten by automated systems.

Joe Withrow, Brian Moody, and Hans Toohey deliver a joint strategy session on building a financial foundation that survives contact with reality. Why does traditional financial planning put growth before protection? What happens when your plan gets punched in the face? And why is Infinite Banking the only savings vehicle that accomplishes two critical goals simultaneously?Most people have been trained to think their 401(k) is savings and their term life insurance is "just in case." They're told to focus on growth—index funds, average rates of return, retirement projections—while protection and actual savings become afterthoughts. But when job loss hits, disability strikes, or markets crater, the whole plan collapses. This episode reveals the proper order of operations: protect first, save second, grow third. Hans breaks down why "average rate of return" is a meaningless data point. Brian illustrates the parallel paths of protection and wealth accumulation with the diagram that makes it all click. And Joe explains why buying insurance isn't an expense if you do it correctly—it's saving money that immediately becomes accessible capital.The conversation covers IBC mechanics, policy loans that don't disrupt compounding, real estate purchases funded with cash value, the power of dinner table time for passing down values, and why building generational wealth starts with one decision: get the foundation right, then everything else becomes possible.Chapters:00:00 - Opening segment01:25 - New Year's resolutions: tangible goals vs. vague aspirations08:50 - The invention of "Retirement Inc." in the 1970s11:05 - Protect, Save, Grow: the proper order of operations13:10 - What traditional CFPs get wrong about protection14:35 - Why "average rate of return" is a useless metric16:40 - Brian's parallel paths diagram begins19:30 - The two parallel paths: protection and wealth accumulation22:30 - What can disrupt the wealth curve?

Merry Christmas!!!!! This episode is Part 2 of our year-end series. Last week, we walked through the internal shifts our team made this year. Today, we hand that same framework to you — so you can reset, simplify, and refocus your leadership as you prepare for 2026. This conversation is a practical guide to finishing well, regaining clarity, and building momentum without burning out or carrying unnecessary weight into the new year. You'll learn: Why real momentum begins with subtraction, pruning, and clarity — not doing more How to create simple decision filters so every choice doesn't drain your energy The “dance floor vs. balcony” mindset — working on your leadership, not just inside the grind Why mature leaders practice necessary endings instead of clinging to what used to work How clarity leads to freedom, focus, and healthier impact Use these reflection prompts as you reset for 2026: What is slowing you down right now? What is one change that would increase your momentum heading into 2026? What are you too close to that someone else should carry or share? When you zoom out, what becomes clear about what must stay, shift, or end? Give yourself at least an hour (two is better) to look back honestly — and aim your energy intentionally toward the year ahead. The real currency of leadership isn't time… it's energy.

We're in that strange, liminal week between Christmas and New Year. The turkey's been eaten, the presents have been opened, and there's this quiet space before the new year kicks off. It's a natural time for reflection as well as for looking ahead.   I know many of you are ambitious and have big goals you want to achieve. But that kind of impact requires reach. Reach requires visibility. Visibility requires consistency. Consistency requires support. And sadly, so many entrepreneurs don't ask for help or support.   If your business can't stay in business because you're exhausted, bottlenecked, or drowning in tasks... How much impact can you actually make?   Not a lot, is the answer…   And that is why I wanted to do this episode today – before we head into a fresh new year! Because most year-end reflection exercises completely miss this. They focus only on results – what worked, what didn't, revenue up or down, targets hit or missed. But that's only half the picture.   The other half – the half that determines whether you'll still be doing this in five years or whether you'll burn out and walk away – is how you actually felt about it all. Whether you're building something sustainable. Whether you enjoyed the year or just survived it.   So today, I'm sharing a really simple but powerful framework – so simple you can do it on the back of a paper napkin whilst lounging by the pool, but powerful enough that it might just change how you think about the year ahead.     Links mentioned in this episode: If you'd like help to achieve your goals, I invite you to have a chat to find out how we can make that happen together HERE By booking a Free Growth Strategy   Other Ways To Enjoy This Episode: Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify Youtube

In this episode of Paradigm Shifting Books, hosts Stephen and Britain Covey explore Disrupt Yourself with the author herself, Whitney Johnson, to discuss the powerful framework for understanding personal growth, career evolution, and why progress often feels uncomfortable before it feels rewarding. Drawing on Clayton Christensen's theory of disruptive innovation, Whitney applies the same principles used to explain market shifts to individual lives, revealing how meaningful growth requires intentional disruption.Stephen reflects on why this episode is especially timely, inviting listeners to use moments of pause, like the holiday season, to reflect on where they are in their careers and lives. Through Whitney's explanation of the S-curve of learning, the conversation unpacks why starting something new feels slow and discouraging, why momentum eventually accelerates, and why mastery can quietly become a trap. Growth, they explain, is not linear, it is cyclical.The episode also dives into the seven accelerants that move people up the S-curve, including taking the right risks, embracing constraints, stepping back to grow, and reframing failure as a tool rather than a verdict. Whitney shares deeply personal stories from her time on Wall Street and her decision to disrupt her own career, offering a model for navigating change with courage and clarity.This conversation is a must-listen for anyone feeling stuck, restless, or ready for their next chapter, and for leaders seeking to better understand how growth unfolds in themselves and others.What We Discuss[00:00] Introduction[00:36] Holiday Reflection[01:33] Disrupt Yourself by Whitney Johnson[03:17] The S-Curve of Learning[08:15] Applying the S-Curve to Personal Growth[12:34] Seven Variables for Growth[16:08] Embracing Failure as a Tool for GrowthNotable Quotes[05:34] “Disruption isn't just about products, it's about people.” – Whitney Johnson[05:38] “If I'm going to accomplish what I feel I need to in life, I may need to disrupt myself.”– Whitney Johnson[09:13] “Every time I start something new, I am at the base of the S-curve, and growth is happening but it's not yet apparent.”– Whitney Johnson[10:56] “ When you know where you are, you increase your capacity to grow. You orient yourself and so that can impact you, and it can help you grow the people around you.

High-masking ND grind burning you out? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April tackles sustainable success for neurodivergent high-achievers with Garrett Wood, National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach/clinical hypnotherapist/executive functioning specialist and founder of Gnosis Therapy. With 18+ years helping masking professionals (autism/ADHD), Garrett's A³ Framework (Assess, Accommodate, Align) bridges nervous-system needs/environment demands—focusing on sensory intelligence/bio-budgets/emotional regulation/core beliefs/attachment/values/executive functioning to end boom-bust cycles. Key insights: High-masking exhaustion: Socialization gaps (hiding "not okay" parts); safe environments reduce friction—authentic self without danger. Sensory intelligence: Preferences/thresholds (too much/little stimulation); interoception (body cues like hunger/anxiety); accommodations (headphones/compression/breaks/sensory backpack). Bio-budgets/time under tension: ND shifts (16-18 hrs masking vs. NT 4-5 hrs); small reps/recovery (car breaks/garden/dust books) prevent overload. Autistic vs. NT burnout: Intensity/scale difference (ND extreme effort); recovery longer (6-7 months vs. quick)—focus well-being (not grit/willpower myth). Hypnotherapy: Self-hypnosis (daydream state for mindset/social/sleep); practice positive experiences (e.g., anxiety scenarios going well). A³ for control: Assess needs (triggers/supports), Accommodate (e.g., oils/masks), Align (values as guardrails); early overload signs (tension/shutdown). Workplace/young adults: Advocate (ROI from inclusion); trial/error (hot/cold days); natural responses (eat/move/sleep) over deadlines. For autistic/ADHD young adults/entrepreneurs in masking fatigue, Garrett's vibe: "Sustainable success through well-being—not expense." Free resources at gnosistherapy.com.

Emily Reynolds' journey to PR agency owner reveals a fundamental truth: authentic success comes from following genuine curiosity rather than predetermined paths. After discovering that motherhood redirected her toward meaningful advocacy, she found her true calling in public relations—amplifying voices and helping others communicate authentically. Her business development philosophy rejects artificial tactics in favor of genuine human connection, seeking out places she naturally frequented and engaging authentically with people she encountered. This approach became her hiring principle as well, prioritizing team members who possess natural curiosity and cultural awareness. Emily's most transformative insight is that specialization, not expansion, drives business growth. Rather than offering everything to everyone, she focused her agency on reputation management and lifestyle work within food and beverage—becoming exceptional at one thing instead of mediocre at many. This clarity builds trust and connection; vagueness creates skepticism. She also emphasizes that crisis planning isn't pessimistic but essential. In today's rapid-fire information environment, businesses that have predetermined communication protocols and decision-making processes navigate challenges successfully, while those caught unprepared can tank in seconds. Emily integrated philosophy—pursuing genuine interests, specializing ruthlessly, building authentic relationships, and planning proactively—transforms businesses from struggling to thriving.

In this episode of Volunteer Nation Podcast, Tobi Johnson welcomes back Amira Barger, award-winning communications executive, educator, and author of The Price of Nice: Why Comfort Keeps Us Stuck and Four Actions for Real Change. Together, they explore how “niceness” often operates as a form of social control, especially in workplaces, nonprofits, and volunteer-driven organizations, and why prioritizing comfort can come at a steep cost to individuals, teams, and missions. This conversation challenges leaders to rethink performative politeness and replace it with courage, clarity, and values-aligned action. If you've ever held back from speaking up to avoid rocking the boat, this episode will resonate deeply.Full show notes: 194.

A school can rise in rankings and still feel like it's falling apart. In this episode, we name that tension and why “winning” on paper can still cost people.This week, we explore a broader definition of success, with a balanced dashboard that includes engagement, well-being, and retention, so accountability reflects the whole child.#EducationalLeader,Kim “When students are led well, they learn well.”Website: http://kimdmoore.comBook: http://leadershipchairbook.comLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/kimdmooreYouTube: https://youtube.com/@EducationalLeaderThe views shared in the Educational Leadership Moment are solely mine and do not reflect the positions of my employer or any entity within the local, state, or federal government sectors.

If you often find yourself stuck in indecision or spinning in your thoughts long after a decision should have been made, today's episode will feel like a deep exhale. I teach a simple and powerful process called the DONE Framework that helps you make confident choices without overwhelm or second-guessing. Women often think they have a decision problem when, in reality, they have a swirl of emotions and past evidence clouding their thinking. The DONE Framework brings you back to clarity by helping you define the real decision, observe it from your future self, notice what aligns with your values and identity, and execute the simplest next step. In this episode, I explain the framework step by step and then walk through four common scenarios so you can hear exactly how the method works in real life. You will learn how to use the DONE Framework to decide whether to join Organized Life Academy, where to begin organizing your home, how to handle sentimental items, and whether to bring in support to lighten your load. You will also hear why decisions create energy, how identity plays a major role in follow-through, and why past attempts do not determine your future success. You Will Learn... How to use the DONE Framework to make any decision Why naming the actual decision immediately reduces confusion How your future self gives clearer answers than your past self How to choose in a way that aligns with your values and identity What it looks like to execute a decision without drama or pressure For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/148

Manifesting is technically a science. It's a little bit of quantum physics, a little bit of psychology, and a lot of heart. You are the key to making your dreams come true. The first step to making those dreams a reality is identifying them.  Many times, my clients have a general idea of what they want, but they don't have the specifics. They know they want financial freedom and to start their own business, but they don't know what they want to offer their customers. I help them figure that out in both the Courage Driven Latina and the Magnetic Mastermind programs, and we always start with the same framework.    In this week's episode, I'm letting you steal my manifestation framework to manifest your dream life in 2026. Manifesting needs a little bit of structure to get started. You need something to help you clear out all the clutter from your mind and mentally lock in on a target. This framework has helped me manifest some of my biggest achievements to date, and now I'm going to share it with you!    Resources Mentioned: Click here to claim your Manifest Your Marca bot!   Follow Erika on: Instagram @‌theerikacruzTikTok @‌theerikacruzLinkedIn Website: http://www.theerikacruz.com How to work with Erika: Join the waitlist for the Courage Driven Latina program here!

The Goal Setting Framework For Work And Life That Keeps Us Moving Forward In 2026 In this reflective solo episode, Emylee shares the exact 3-pillar framework she uses to set goals at Pharos—and in her own life. Recorded during a quiet early-morning drive down the mountain after the annual leadership retreat, she reflects on the progress the team made in 2025, the lessons learned, and the clarity that comes from reviewing both the wins and the challenges.She introduces the three types of goals that guide every decision at Pharos: • Financial – supporting stability, reinvestment, and long-term health. • Community – delivering on the promise of results, connection, and service. • Cohesion – building systems and infrastructure that keep the team aligned and the experience consistent.Listeners will learn how to use this exact framework in their own lives by brainstorming everything they could do, then identifying the one to three “rocks” that will truly move the needle in the next 90 days. Emylee breaks down how to think in quarterly pushes, avoid overwhelm, and build a year that feels intentional—rather than rushed.Interested in working with us to get a plan of action for you?

Most business plans fail before the first meeting because they use last year's results to decide what is possible next.   Sarah sits down with Debbie King, business strategist, executive coach, and author of Loving Your Business, about future self business planning as a more effective approach to strategic planning for entrepreneurs who want to learn how to stop letting past results limit your future business growth. Debbie questions the habit of treating prior performance as a ceiling and invites a different starting point for planning that begins with identity, belief, and vision. If your current results reflect who you have been, what changes when you plan from who you are becoming?   The discussion turns to the quiet beliefs leaders carry about themselves, their teams, their market, and their offer, and how those beliefs shape decisions long before strategy enters the room. Which assumptions feel true simply because they are familiar? What might open up if you challenged them before pulling your team into the process? Debbie introduces the “How can we?” framework as a way to create forward motion without waiting for certainty, and the episode offers a grounded reset for entrepreneurs who want their 2026 planning to feel clear, focused, and genuinely expansive.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Future Self Business Planning for 2026 03:02 Why Past Results Limit Future Business Growth 09:01 How Beliefs Shape Business Results 17:57 Strategic Planning Begins With Inner Work 26:58 The “How Can We” Framework for Expansion 44:09 Decide, Act, Evaluate, Iterate Connect with Debbie King: Visit the Loving Your Business website Connect with Debbie on LinkedIn   Connect with Sarah Lockwood: Visit HiveCast Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn   Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: Visit The Conscious Entrepreneur website  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on LinkedIn Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on Instagram  Subscribe to The Conscious Entrepreneur on YouTube   HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

What if everything you thought about branding was missing the real asset underneath? What if the most powerful driver of growth in your business isn't your product, your pricing, or your marketing spend? In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, Nick Hague speaks with David Aaker, widely regarded as the father of modern branding, to unpack why brand equity and not awareness is the real strategic asset behind sustainable growth. David explains how the Five B's framework elevates branding from a cost centre to a core business discipline, why relevance beats visibility in crowded markets, and how leaders can resist short-term thinking while navigating AI-driven disruption. David makes his points with real-world examples from Uniqlo to Dove, to highlight how brand building creates a lasting competitive advantage. What You Will Learn: How to shift brand thinking from expense to asset The Five B's Framework for modern brand building Why brand relevance trumps brand awareness in today's crowded marketplace How to use cognitive anchors to cut through communication clutter The critical role of branding in disruptive innovation How to avoid the purpose-washing trap and build authentic brand energizers   If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts. Instructions on how to do this are here.   David Aaker Bio David Aaker, called the "Father of Modern Branding" by Philip Kotler, is Vice Chairman at Prophet, a global growth consultancy, and one of the world's foremost authorities on brand strategy. A Professor Emeritus at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, he created foundational models, including the Aaker Brand Vision Model. Inducted into the American Marketing Association Hall of Fame, Aaker has authored 18 bestselling books translated into 18 languages and continues to advise, teach, and speak globally on building strong brands.   Quotes: "Everybody was trying to increase market share, and never mind how you did it, never mind how you damaged brands, but that's what you did. They destroyed brands. They achieved no growth, and they destroyed profits. So at the end of the eighties, people kind of were looking around the strategies, the top managers were saying, it's not working, and we need something else." "What I did was to add brand loyalty to the concept of brand equity, and that really changed everything because brand loyalty involves the whole customer journey. It involves all the R and D and so forth. It involves segmentation, and it involves all elements of business strategy. So that meant that there was now a seat at the executive table for marketing." "The first B is the fact that brands are equity. It's not something that is a communication task. You're building up an asset that you will use to leverage to build future growth. Brand relevance is a much more strategic concept because you no longer have to just be visible; you have to be visible in a certain context and be credible as well." "Virtually the only way to grow is with disruptive innovation. It's the most extreme form of differentiation, which we know has been a driver forever. Branding is absolutely essential for disruptive innovation to prosper and succeed, and it has four jobs to do. The first job is to position the new disruptive innovation and tell customers why they should go to this disruption instead of what they used to do."   Episode Resources: David Aaker on LinkedIn Prophet Website  Nick Hague on LinkedIn World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Apple Podcasts World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Spotify World's Greatest Business Thinkers on YouTube

Why does your team come to you for every decision? It's not a people problem—it's a clarity problem. Here's how to solve it.

Are you looking for a Third Growth Option ℠ ? Growth can stall even when the product is loved, pricing is right, and teams deliver on time. The blocker is mixing pre-sale and post-sale decisions in the same conversation. Our Sherpas use a simple pattern to untangle it: The Chef and the Waiter Framework.Dining room = pre-salePositioning, messaging, pricing, sales assets.Kitchen = post-saleManufacturing, logistics, inventory, fulfillment.In one factory case, a small design upgrade unlocked a larger market at a higher price. Fear around costs and delays froze progress. By running pre-sale testing and post-sale capacity planning in parallel, momentum returned.The target was $10M in new revenue over three years. The result: $14M delivered, compounding into $100M+. Not luck—clear roles, fast feedback, and simultaneous execution.If your revenue needle won't move, audit your process. Split pre-sale and post-sale work. Stop mixing meetings. Clarity accelerates the climb.Always growing.Benno Duenkelsbuehler CEO & Chief Sherpa of (re)ALIGN reALIGNforResults.com benno@realignforresults.com

Most entrepreneurs fail at the exact moment they should be making the most money. They teach, they inspire, they deliver value, but when it is time to present the offer, everything falls apart. In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I share one of the most powerful Funnel Hacking Live presentations we have ever had. McCall Jones takes the beloved children's book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and reveals the hidden structure inside it that makes it the perfect framework for building irresistible offers. Once you see how it works, you will never build your offers the same way again. Key Highlights: ◼️Why most entrepreneurs unintentionally sabotage their offers by bundling random products together instead of solving a customer's sequential problems ◼️The Mouse a Cookie method for creating an offer path that moves someone from their pain to their desired result ◼️How to build an offer even when you cannot personally solve every problem by partnering strategically instead of ignoring what your customers need ◼️The ‘Timeline-ify' technique for presenting your offer in a way that keeps customers emotionally in motion instead of overwhelmed ◼️The Charisma Hacking framework for communicating pain and authority in the style that matches who you naturally are, so your pitch feels authentic and converts higher McCall's presentation is a reminder that selling is not about hype or pressure. It is about understanding the real problems someone faces and guiding them from one solved step to the next until they reach their goal.  When you use the Mouse a Cookie method, timeline your offer the right way, and communicate with the charisma style that fits you, your offer becomes the clear path to transformation instead of a collection of items. This is why her students win, and it is why this framework has become one of the most important updates to how I teach offers today! ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event →⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://sellingonline.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

Here we are at the last episode of the STaR Coach Show for 2025, as I'll be taking some time off, as I usually do, to fully enjoy the holiday season. We have logged 50 episodes this year, exploring what it takes to build coaching skills, grow sustainable businesses, and develop authentic leadership. Coaching is all about the messy, uncertain, courageous work of transformation and building something meaningful. As I look toward 2026, I'm asking myself the same questions I'm asking you today: “What matters most? Where do I need to focus? How do I make sure I'm spending my energy on what actually moves the needle?” Here's what I know: the problem isn't that we don't work hard enough; the problem is that we say YES to too many things, which scatters our energy and hinders our progress. We mistake busyness for progress. In today's episode, I'm sharing my three words for 2026, along with guidelines for choosing your three words to serve as guideposts, decision filters, and energy anchors. You'll learn about the year I'm choosing to create with my three words and why your three words might be exactly what you need, also.

Indivisible's Ezra Levin and Hungarian organizer László Upor share creative, community-driven tactics — from joyful protests to bold campus actions — that pushed back against autocratic agendas. Their message: you have more power than you think.Make a tax deductible YEAR END DONATION and become a member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description: If you care about resisting autocracy and building democracy, the U.S. has much to learn from Hungary. While Donald Trump rails against Europe, he and Hungary's strongman leader, Viktor Orbán, have praised each other for years. Anti-democratic, anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-queer — Orbán and Trump came to power on parallel tracks with similar values. In their first interview together, Ezra Levin, the co-founder of Indivisible (the group behind No Kings!) and László Upor, a leader in one of Hungary's most creative and visible resistance efforts, share their experiences of resisting authoritarianism. Upor is former Vice Rector and Acting Rector of the University of Theatre and Film Arts in Budapest — the one university that fought back when the Orbán administration began taking control of Hungary's universities. Levin is the co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible, the grassroots movement behind such protests as the historic Hands Off and No Kings rallies. From the principles of their organizing to frog suits and caution tape, today's episode is a masterclass in creative resistance. Plus a commentary from Laura.“Our enemy in this isn't Trump, it's not the Republicans. It's not the broader regime. Our enemy is this sense of cynicism or fatalism or nihilism . . . I do think a core principle in our communication philosophy is convincing people, you have power, you just gotta use it. The best way to use it is in concert with a lot of other people in your community.” - Ezra Levin“You have to laugh at them, not be afraid of them . . . They don't understand mirth. They don't understand the derision. They think they are invincible. And when we don't give in, they don't understand what's going on.” - László UpperGuests:• Ezra Levin: Co-Founder & Co-Executive Director, Indivisible• László Upor: Former Vice Rector & Acting Rector, University of Theatre and Film Arts (SzFE), Budapest, HungaryListen to the full uncut conversation in this podcast feed.Watch the episode released on YouTube, PBS World Channel, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

To learn directly from Ethan Hsieh, John Vervaeke and Taylor Barratt, The Lectern is partnering with 5ToMidnight to offer a long form hybrid (online/in-person) practice program called TIAMAT-X. This program brings a full ecology of practices, endorsed by The Vervaeke Foundation to help you develop the capacity to… perceive what matters regulate in real time and act with clarity  …through a cohesive method that weaves together mindful dialogue, embodiment, imaginal practice, and disciplined mindfulness.  Learn more about the program here:  https://www.5tomidnight.org/offerings/tiamat-x  https://lectern.johnvervaeke.com/courses/tiamat-x   In part three of the Lectern Dialogues series, John Vervaeke and Ethan Hsieh explore how virtue can be cultivated as a lived, embodied practice through an immersive ecology of education. The focus is on layered accounts of virtue — civic, purification, and illumination — and the role of ritual, altered states, and phenomenology in shaping meaning and sacredness. The conversation also addresses the risks of deification, authenticity loss, and cult dynamics, inviting a participatory, relational understanding of education oriented toward wisdom and agency. Ethan Hsieh Ethan Hsieh is a facilitator, educator, and philosophical practitioner whose work bridges performance, cognition, and transformative pedagogy. As the creator of TIAMAT—a three-tiered developmental framework—he integrates insights from performance practice, cognitive science, and dialogical philosophy to help individuals cultivate virtuosity as a way of life. Through immersive training containers and collaborative inquiry, he guides participants in mapping their inner experience, expanding their relational capacities, and enacting what he calls "postures of presence." Ethan's approach emphasizes participatory learning, metacognitive mapping, and the cultivation of agency through shared practice. His work with the collective 5toMidnight seeks to foster deliberately developmental communities grounded in relational ontology, where philosophical understanding becomes lived transformation. — 00:00 Welcome to the Lectern 02:00 Exploring virtue and sacredness 04:00 Layers of virtue and practice 06:00 Rituals and altered states of consciousness 10:30 Phenomenology and the sacred 18:00 Transformative insight and lived experience 30:30 Being-in-the-world and interconnectedness 38:00 Framework rejection and deification concerns 40:30 Ego, deification, and demonization 41:00 Virtue and the ego's filtration function 44:00 Addressing cult dynamics 46:00 Identifying healthy traditions and practices 51:30 Realness, resonance, and authenticity 55:00 Logos and the Good 01:06:00 The value of embodied experience — Follow John Vervaeke https://lectern.johnvervaeke.com https://x.com/DrJohnVervaeke https://www.youtube.com/@johnvervaeke https://www.patreon.com/johnvervaeke — Thank you for watching!
