Shashank Sripada merges institutional rigor with systemic change. After managing $7B+ in assets and advising the White House, he co-founded Gaia to prove decentralized models can scale equitably. Gaia aims to empower anyone—from individual knowledge workers to domain experts—to build, launch, scale, and monetize their own AI agents. Why you should listen Gaia aims to empower anyone—from individual knowledge workers to domain experts—to build, launch, scale, and monetize their own AI agents. Each agent runs as a Gaia “node,” a lightweight, sandboxed runtime powered by technologies like WasmEdge, fine‑tuned open‑source LLMs, embedding models, vector databases, prompt management, a plugin system, and open APIs. This stack can be deployed anywhere (personal devices, cloud, edge), enabling agents that reflect the creator's own style, knowledge, values, and expertise. Unlike closed‑box SaaS solutions (e.g., GPT‑4), Gaia nodes enable deep customization via fine‑tuning, RAG‑enhanced prompts, schema‑enforced outputs, and domain‑specific knowledge embeddings. This reduces hallucinations, cuts costs, and maintains data privacy. Users can build agents that speak and think like them, tailored to specific domains—far beyond generic LLM capabilities—and can interconnect to ingest external tools, memory systems, or APIs seamlessly.

This one's going to rock your world. In episode 132 of Overthink, Ellie and David dig into the earth for the third part of their four-part series on the elements. They discuss everything from earthworms and carbon dating to the “solidity” of the earth. They look to Foucault, Freud, and Husserl for insights about how the earth can act as a metaphor for the mind and for the past. They also wonder: Is the earth inert matter or a living being? And why do so many creation myths present humans as “made” of earth/clay/mud? So, what is it that we actually mean when we talk about earth as an element? In the bonus, your hosts talk think through Heidegger's notion of ground and horizon, and the Western association of land with earth.Works Discussed: Michel Foucault, The Archeology of KnowledgeMartin Heidegger, “ The Origin of the Work of Art”Edmund Husserl, Crisis of the European SciencesDavid Macauley, Elemental Philosophy: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water as Environmental Ideas Thomas Nail, Theory of the EarthJames Lovelock, Gaia hypothesisDorian Sagan and Lynn Margulis, “God, Gaia, and Biophilia”Support the showPatreon | patreon.com/overthinkpodcast Website | overthinkpodcast.comInstagram & Twitter | @overthink_podEmail | dearoverthink@gmail.comYouTube | Overthink podcast

In this episode, I share a deeply personal chapter of my healing journey—one that brought me to the root of my energetic imbalances and opened the door to a new level of healing. Guided by Spirit and my own inner knowing, I was led to explore alternative healing modalities that were once considered fringe—but are now at the forefront of energetic medicine. From sound therapy to the groundbreaking rise of light therapies, including red and green light, I explore how these frequencies are shifting the landscape of healing. Spirit once shared with me a vision of this exact emergence, long before it became mainstream—and now, it's here. We are living in revolutionary times where light is not just symbolic but literal medicine for the body and soul. Join me as I share how these modalities helped me transform from the inside out, and how you can begin working with them in your own healing path.

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:58 Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It second half of the how did these tours come to be? And Brad is back as my guest. So this is a different kind of cadence, I guess you'd say. Brad Crowell 1:10 Yeah, you know, we're shaking things up a little bit. Lesley Logan 1:11 So we're not answering any of your questions. We're not going to talk about the Be It Action Items we shared with you. Brad Crowell 1:16 But we are going to talk about that amazing guest you had on this week's episode. Lesley Logan 1:20 Oh yeah, yeah. We're talking about you, Brad. Brad Crowell 1:22 It was me. Lesley Logan 1:23 And also, if you want to come to the tours, opc.me/tour, no matter when you hear this, you will always be able to see what upcoming tour there is or you'll get on a waitlist for the next one to come out. But basically, we do two tours a year. So we left off with how we started talking with Balanced Body about our tours.Brad Crowell 1:42 Yeah. So I remember we were at a POT, I think. Lesley Logan 1:46 In Monterey in 2020. Brad Crowell 1:48 No, I think it was before that. I think it was in Chicago, even before that. Lesley Logan 1:51 Well, there was a Chicago one that I talked to them and I planted the seed, that was in 2019. Brad Crowell 1:54 Yeah, but that's the one I was talking about. So we started talking to Balanced Body years prior to their participation, and I remember the conversation with their team. I just remember looking at their operation and literally watching them back a tractor trailer up to the convention center and commenting and going, Wow, you guys have tractor trailers. And the response was, we have three. I was like, you have three tractor trailers? They're like, yeah, look where do you think all these Reformers are gonna go? And they were loading case after case after case of things into the thing. And I was like, wow, it's so much work for you guys to go on the road. And they said, yeah, for us to put on these POTs, it is a massive enterprise to do. Many, many, many people, lots and lots of money. It's so much coordination, so much effort, you know. And I jokingly said, well, you know, I think we can help you guys out with that. And that didn't really come to anything, but I, in my mind, I was like, we could do it for half, you know. And then we got the van, and then we were talking with Ken.Lesley Logan 2:56 What happened is they changed, on the Contrology, they changed how you can do the wheels, the side wheels, how you can tighten them or not tighten them, and they change it to make it easier for people. And so I said, we're all, we're driving to the POT Monterey anyways, because we're gonna have a booth there as well because we had a booth in the October one which was when you kind of planted that seed. Brad Crowell 3:15 Yeah, and for us it was only what eight hours, at this point we've driven across the country multiple times. They're like, yeah, we'll just drive. Lesley Logan 3:20 I said, oh, I'll bring my Reformer. And we weren't even staying at the hotel where the event was. We were just down the street, just because of, like, I needed a really big room. Brad Crowell 3:27 Yeah, you had to do a weekend workshop thing. Lesley Logan 3:29 Yeah, I had to, like, host a weekend event and so we needed a big room. And so I had my assistant at the time, like, literally scoping pictures of rooms and we're like, there's no way we can make this room work, because the beds right there. So we had to stay about a mile a half away from the venue. And so Ken Ubered over. Brad Crowell 3:45 Ken is the owner of Balanced Body. Lesley Logan 3:47 Yeah, so get this, Ken Ubered over to our hotel, during setup of his humongous convention, to change the little silver situation that goes on the back of my carriage, to change the wheels out. Brad Crowell 4:01 Yeah, he brought us wrenches.Lesley Logan 4:02 He just brought a wrench, brought a credit card, so we had also brought our Nespresso machine. Brad made him a cup of Nespresso and so he fixed he like, this is, this is what.Brad Crowell 4:11 We're just chilling out, you know, and he's working on this Reformer, we're just chit-chatting. Lesley Logan 4:16 And then Brad's like, oh, man, I'll take you back to the venue. Brad Crowell 4:18 Yeah. He's like, oh, I'll grab an Uber. I was like, no, you will not grab an Uber. I will drive you, you know. And of course, I wanted him to see the van. Lesley Logan 4:26 Yeah. So he got in the van. He had to see how big the van was. He had just seen that we brought the Reformer. Brad Crowell 4:31 Yeah, yeah. Obviously, we brought the Reformer. But he said to me, oh my gosh, I always wanted one of these when I was in my 20s. I always just wanted to drive around the country. And it's so cool that you guys are doing this, and that's when I got a chance to say, well, this is, you know, we do go on tour, and we are taking, we're already taking a Reformer with us, so that we can show off the Contrology Reformer, right? And he was like, wow. And so, you know, I didn't like full blown pitch him in that moment, but it was like one major seed planted, because he could see it, feel it, touch it, understand it, in a way that wasn't us trying to pitch the vision. He could be in the vision.Lesley Logan 5:09 Yeah. So they actually signed on with us for our first ever summer tour. And so we got to do the west coast because we'd only ever done the East Coast and the middle we'd never done the west coast before we'd pulled them. We want to do a West Coast tour. So we actually did our first West Coast tour. It wasn't very long. It was kind of like a short and sweet thing. I know. We did Las Vegas. We did Los Angeles. Brad Crowell 5:31 Well, somewhere in there, we missed the 2022 winter tour. But we, 2020. Lesley Logan 5:36 Oh, yeah, we did a '22 we did a 22, you're right, we did do a 2022 winter tour. And that got bigger, got back up to the size. Brad Crowell 5:41 Yeah, that was like eight or nine. So we have Cleveland, St Louis, Dallas, Houston, Nashville, Atlanta, Greensboro. Yeah. So. Lesley Logan 5:48 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That one, that one was really great, actually, because we got back up to our 2019 numbers and so we were able to say, okay, so we've had four tours, and so we're able to show them like, look now that COVID allows us to do this. Look at these nine cities. What if we, so we did our biggest tour ever, which was the West Coast tour. We didn't do Los Angeles. We started at Las Vegas. Did we even do Las Vegas? I know we did Riverside. Brad Crowell 6:10 For the summer tour? Lesley Logan 6:11 Yeah. We did Redlands. Brad Crowell 6:13 Redlands, Long Beach. Lesley Logan 6:14 Long Beach. Brad Crowell 6:14 Bakersfield. Lesley Logan 6:15 Bakersfield. Brad Crowell 6:16 Central Valley, Hanford, Fresno. Lesley Logan 6:18 Yeah it was near Fresno. Brad Crowell 6:19 Modesto. Lesley Logan 6:20 Modesto. You guys were hitting some of those great I-5 cities. Brad Crowell 6:23 So that's five. Yeah, we did Fairfield. Lesley Logan 6:25 Yes. And we did Sacramento. Brad Crowell 6:27 Sac. Lesley Logan 6:27 And then we did a tour of Balanced Body, even though we've done it before with Ken, we did a tour so that our OPC members could see how it's all done. It was so fun. They do amazing work at Balanced Body, just being great on the environment. Then we did. Brad Crowell 6:40 Bend. Lesley Logan 6:40 Bend, Oregon. Brad Crowell 6:42 Portland. Lesley Logan 6:42 Portland. That was so fun, too, Seattle, and then. Brad Crowell 6:46 Spokane. Lesley Logan 6:47 Spokane and then we dropped down, had a couple days off in Idaho. And then we got all around St George, Utah. Brad Crowell 6:54 So we did 11 stops. Lesley Logan 6:55 11 stops, it was our biggest one, and it was so fun. And we got to see how hot it could get. So then the van got a fan. Brad Crowell 7:05 We also did that whole tour in two weeks. Lesley Logan 7:07 In two weeks. Brad Crowell 7:07 It was like 16 days. Lesley Logan 7:09 It was really. Brad Crowell 7:10 It was zipped through 11 stops in 16 days. Lesley Logan 7:13 It was, yeah, there's a heat wave. So I was not, I was okay with zipping through. Then, because of that went so well and Balanced Body was so great with that that they joined us for our winter tour in 2023 and then we really able to like. Brad Crowell 7:26 But that's when I think things really blew up. Lesley Logan 7:27 Yeah, I don't think it was our, it was our biggest tour, for sure. It beat the 11 cities, but it wasn't our biggest, biggest. Then, last year, you want to go through them? Brad Crowell 7:36 Sure. We did Vegas, St George, Denver, Lawrence, Kansas, St Louis, Missouri, Cleveland, Ohio, Saratoga Springs. That was a private event. Boston, t hen Providence, private event. Brooklyn. We had to cancel New York City because nobody was in town. Hershey, Pennsylvania, Greensboro, North Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, Miami, Sarasota, that's the first time we did the inside of Florida. Then Austin, Dallas, Albuquerque, Sedona. So by far, this was the largest one of the 19 cities. Lesley Logan 8:10 Yeah, then we did a summer tour with the Midwest. Because if you've noticed, we've been skipping Chicago for a while. So we have been alternating the West Coast, with the Midwest, and so this is how we decided, like, okay, so you need to know, after every single one of these tours, we reflect about, like, what went well, what cities went well? Will we go back, how the people like it, how much effort was it, how great was the host? You know, if we love the host, obviously it's amazing for us to want to go there. If the host works really, really hard, then, of course, we want to continue to work with them and support them. But we also discovered that my voice, as I get older, my voice can only do. Brad Crowell 8:47 I don't think it's just because you're getting older. We had you working nine days in a row, literally teaching class nine days in a row. By the ninth day you were fried. Lesley Logan 8:56 And some of these studios, they're acoustic. Brad Crowell 8:58 You're not a day older than 29, love. Lesley Logan 8:59 Thanks, baby. Some of these students, the acoustics are not awesome for that, because you have to get your voice to carry and all these things. And so, at any rate, you'd think, well, Lesley, don't you teach all day? No. No, I don't. No, I don't. In fact, when I. Brad Crowell 9:14 Come on, you do talk, you do talk most of the time, but like this is different than trying to yell in a warehouse, you know, like. Lesley Logan 9:20 Yeah, and get people's attention in a warehouse, for sure, some of them have music going on, the whole thing. So, at any rate, we've made changes to the tour. So you'll notice with tour schedules since summer of the Midwest. Brad Crowell 9:31 Well, that, so the Summer Tour was only 13 stops, but we did it in 16 days. Yes, we were flying through. Lesley Logan 9:36 We made changes that we can only do max six days in a row before a day off, five is more ideal. Brad Crowell 9:42 But this was a major change for us, where, whereas, like, all right, we have to be very intentional about the breaks that we're putting in. Because one, things Lesley mentioned at the beginning was, how does she maintain her consistency? How does she maintain her you know, how do you do that stuff? Lesley Logan 9:57 So these tours, because I don't want to do them, because it's a job. We actually truly enjoy doing the tours. We have so much fun. I mean, I get to hug hundreds of people. It's so great. And it really, actually makes me go, oh, I wanna teach all the time. And then I'm actually like, no, actually, I really love my life, but I love that I get to see so many of you that I only see on like, I only get to read words on the internet. I get to see you in person. I could touch you and like you're three dimensional and all the things. We really love doing it, we also want to be able to be as present as possible. And so after every tour, we always reflect back, do we have enough time in that city? Do we have enough time to do this? You guys, I must work out so I do not teach all these people Pilates, and I don't get workouts in. And so every schedule we have to make sure that five days a week, I have time at a gym. I have time to move before I'm teaching giving me space to go the gym at 11pm at night is not space to work out. Also, I have to make sure that I get to have seven hours of sleep, very important. So all the things that I preach about prioritizing myself first, those things happen on tour. Brad Crowell 10:57 People always ask us how do you maintain your routine when you're completely jacking up your routine?Lesley Logan 11:02 Yeah? Well, you can speak to this. You guys use a really cool app that plans out everything, because he'll kind of drive late at night while I'm sleeping, so I can go to bed early, and I'll wake up and it will say like you're working out from this time to this time. Then you're driving here to get coffee, and then you're driving here to do this thing, and so that I have time to do my thing for myself while you're sleeping.Brad Crowell 11:22 Yeah, so we take shifts, because just the nature of our brains and our bodies, I usually stay up late. Lesley usually gets up early, especially when, when it was the COVID trip that was crazy, like the van almost never turned off. We just kept going. Lesley Logan 11:36 We were so nervous about touching anything. Brad Crowell 11:37 I sleep, you drive, and while you were sleeping, I would drive, and we'd just go, go, go. Lesley Logan 11:42 That was very different. That was also just like a very different time in the world. We were, like, afraid. We still wondered if you got COVID from gas station handles and we were going to see people at Christmas, and we had to do like, a three-day hangout at your parents' house.Brad Crowell 11:55 But the point is that we were overlapping on purpose while one was sleeping, the other was driving. Now it's a little less. The maximum amount of driving that we're trying to do in a day is, like, no more than eight hours. And that's still a lot, you know, so we've started to slow it down, which has since then made the tour longer, but it makes it a lot more enjoyable so.Lesley Logan 12:17 We also get to like, see places now, because and we have the dogs, well, now we just have one dog. We should tell them funny stories about the dogs before we wrap this episode up. But we like make sure that they get walks, and we take it through really beautiful habitat preservations that allow for dog walking. We get to see some really cool thing.Brad Crowell 12:33 We stopped in Kansas by, like, one of those big tank memorials and threw the ball. I mean, you know, like this, all these things that we do. Then the Winter Tour 2024 with the support of Balanced Body. And we had some other sponsors, too. Yeah, we had 21 locations, 21 stops. But in order to meet these new requirements of no more than six days in a row of teaching, how do we drive eight hours or less a day? How do we make sure that we've got time to do some workouts. By the way, we're interested in seeing White Sands National Park on this trip. Can we do that, you know, like stuff like that. How do we work all that in? Well, it ended up making, making the trip 34, 35 days. But we actually went the longest. We drove 80, over 8000 miles. Lesley Logan 13:17 Yeah, we got to go to some great places. And also, if you're like, this sounds so amazing, guys, everything works out for you. Just so you know, pretty much every tour there was a dud city.Brad Crowell 13:24 Oh yeah, we had to cancel. It would have been 22 cities on the Winter Tour, and we, unfortunately, had to pull one because we just had no one participate.Lesley Logan 13:33 And we and talk about like the last time was that perseverance, we paid people to scour emails and Instagram handles for three hour drive away to be like, okay, well, what if we get these people from this state to come in? What if this people from this state come in? They could do with this. Brad Crowell 13:47 I mean, I would drive and just call, literally, I would call studio after studio after studio. Lesley Logan 13:51 And we had people say, and it was a lovely house. And she's like, no, people are just last minute. We're like, girl, it's 48 hours before. This is as last minute as we, no, we're not driving up there. So again, we don't take it personally. It sucks. We always do reflect, like, what could we have done better? Was it the time of day? You know, we've had cities that have done really, really well two years in a row, and then have a dud year, and we're like, oh, what happened there? And it's like, oh. So this next Winter Tour, we're flipping two cities because we're like, oh, you know, we did them before Christmas and then after Christmas. And this year we switched that, and that didn't go well for either one of them. So you start to learn the seasons of things, and you have to know that it's not personal, but the reflecting after every tour really helps us make each tour even better. And we're six weeks, five weeks away from our eighth tour, and it's gonna be epic. It's gonna be amazing. It almost feels like a vacation.Brad Crowell 14:38 A little bit more time-condensed, so we're a little over three weeks, but we're at doing almost 19 stops. So that's, that's intense. Lesley Logan 14:46 Three of them include Canada.Brad Crowell 14:48 Yeah. So we're, we're doing our best here to get to do our first international tour. I mean, we are going, so. Lesley Logan 14:55 We're going. Just so you know, these tours also are a huge investment. There's a reason why we have a sponsor with Balanced Body. They really help us actually be on the road for that long because when you're on the road for that many weeks, you're having three plus meals a day on the road. All that adds up money, the gas, depending on what state you're in, is insane, right? So there's that we do. We try not to use a hotel at this point because we have the van, the investment we've made in the van, you know, to make it so we can live in all of that kind of costs money. And so there are things that have failed on tours where, like, like, those stops that haven't made money or haven't, haven't, had been canceled, but having a sponsor that allows us to, like, really be on the road for that long, so that we can do these stops and we can see all of you, but to get to Canada, we're investing thousands of dollars to make it happen.Brad Crowell 15:41 Yeah, had to pay an attorney to help us with paperwork and it was like. Lesley Logan 15:44 Because you can't just work wherever you want to work. You can't just do that. So we're super, super excited to be one of the first people that actually do a big Pilates event. There have been other Pilates events in Canada. I don't want to discount those ones that are happening in Balanced Bodies in Montreal.Brad Crowell 15:59 It's like, it's the thing that's exciting about this is it'll be our first international tour. Lesley Logan 16:03 Yes, yes. I know people are like, when are you going to do a European tour? So I used to think it was like two years away after what we're doing for Canada. You guys, I gonna tell you right now, that's a five year plan. Because, like. Brad Crowell 16:13 Yeah, we so we're thinking about, how could we do this, you know, in Europe and Australia. Because, like, eventually for us, that's the vision. We want to go see those places. We want to spend the time, I think, for us to drive around Australia, to do it right, it's going to take us five to six weeks of driving, like, that's a lot. Lesley Logan 16:28 And we're going to have to rent a van there. We're certainly not going to take one. I was thinking about put some magnets on it. But also, there are actual laws about what we can do, and we don't do these things quietly. So, so if you live in Australia or Europe, and you want us to do tours there, you should definitely reach out. We keep a list of people who love to host. And we do need hosts. These tours, they happen when there's hosts. But also, and that goes for anyone in the States as well. You can actually put your place on there. But also, we're gonna need legal help, because, like we're talking immigration attorney help, which is not cheap, by the way, very expensive, so that we can actually do these things. So what we thought would be like in two years, I'm realizing, is probably a few years in the making. But we want to make this happen. We want to be part of it. That's why we're actually telling you the behind the scenes on how these tours work. So opc.me/tour is where you go for tickets, but opc.me/host is where you go to apply to be a host. Okay, so funny stories about the dogs. First of all, we used to do these tours with three dogs. Brad Crowell 17:29 Three. Lesley Logan 17:30 And then Gaia's last tour was Summer Tour 2024. Brad Crowell 17:33 Well, her first last tour. Lesley Logan 17:35 Her first last tour was Winter 2022. Brad Crowell 17:38 So, was it winter? Lesley Logan 17:40 Oh, yeah, Winter Tour 2022. Brad Crowell 17:42 It was Winter Tour, you're right.Lesley Logan 17:43 And then it was, her first last tour was Summer 2023 then her second last tour was, was winter 2023 and then. Brad Crowell 17:52 Her actual last tour was Summer '24. Lesley Logan 17:53 You guys, before we started, she, you guys, she did not want to go. We were, the van was loaded up, the boys were in it. The boys, because the boys, once we start loading the, putting stuff up to load in. They are like, in the van. Brad Crowell 18:03 Yeah, they do not want to be left behind, so they're sitting in the van watching us. Lesley Logan 18:07 It is hot as fuck outside. And they're like, no, I need to be in the van. I'm like, okay, but the doors are wide open. I can't be in the van. And they're freaking out. They're, they're just, you know, very nervous. And she, so we have the whole van loaded up. The boys are in the van. We go Gaia, and she comes and looks at the door.Brad Crowell 18:22 She comes out onto the front porch, stares at us. Lesley Logan 18:26 And she goes back inside. Brad Crowell 18:27 Turns around and goes back in the house. She's like nuh-uh.Lesley Logan 18:30 And we forced her, we forced her to go on this tour. And she was at this point, sleeping 20 hours a day, just anyways, she was having a hard time with her back legs. We're carrying her everywhere, which we've been doing the last two tours. Brad Crowell 18:41 And we had to lift her in and out of the van. Lesley Logan 18:42 Lift her in the van, and then, okay, so on this her on her final, final, last tour, she had an accident in the bed, and that was really unfortunate, because we're on the road now. We've got a dog, but that has to get washed. We don't always have time for a, like, a wash and, like, I don't know what you call this, like a fluff and fold. So I'm in Kansas City teaching a class, and while I'm teaching, Brad leaves to go bathe her. So he finds a place that he can bathe her, and he has to leave because it's hot out. He has to leave.Brad Crowell 19:12 So the timing of things, we have a very tight timeline. Lesley Logan 19:16 He leaves the car running with the dogs in the van and the boys. Brad Crowell 19:20 Wait. So, hold on. You're teaching the class. You're teaching the workshop. I have, literally, I have 90 minutes to get up and out, find a place, turn it around, wash the dog, get back. Right?Lesley Logan 19:34 Yeah. So he pulls up to this dog place. Brad Crowell 19:37 Well, the first one I pulled up to, it says on Google Maps that they have a thing in there to wash them. They don't. And I was like, are you, are you kidding? I just wasted 10 minutes coming all the way over here, and you don't have what I need. Lesley Logan 19:49 Yeah, so, so then he now has to go the next one, right? So he goes to the next one. He leaves the car running because it's hot out. It's like 90 something degrees. He leaves it running. And the boys are in the passenger seat, watching Brad take Gaia into the van. They're not okay with this. The pack is not together, somehow, though, while he's washing Gaia, so she's in this tub. Brad Crowell 20:10 So they're in the van, I'm in the store. But the the van's running so that the AC could be blasting. And August. Lesley Logan 20:18 Pressed the window button. Brad Crowell 20:19 He goes to the driver's seat, and shoves his nose, but he touches, he steps on the window button, and the window goes down, and sure enough. Lesley Logan 20:27 Jumps out. Brad Crowell 20:28 Two dogs jump out of the van. Lesley Logan 20:29 And they go up to the store, which has those doors that open by themselves. Brad Crowell 20:32 So before that happened, I'm in the back of the store, and I'm washing Gaia, right? She's covered in shit. All of a sudden, up at the front of the store, I hear, oh no, oh no, right, and this now there's multiple people yelling oh no. And then this lady's running down the store, and she's yelling, hey, sir, sir, I think your dogs just got out of the van. I'm like, holding the hose, and it's one of those timer things. So, like, I'm like, all right, I guess I'm gonna have to get more of that once I figure this other thing out. So I throw the water that's already it's still coming out. I just throw it and like, I'm like, Gaia, you stay. And she's looking at me, like, how could I possibly go anywhere? Right? And so I'm running out towards the van right at the same exact time the double doors of this big dog store open, and both August and Bayon come running into the store.Lesley Logan 21:21 Yeah, they ran into the store. So thankfully, they ran into the store and not, like, down the street. I don't even know what we would have done. At any rate.Brad Crowell 21:28 Yeah, I was, like, I was, because there was a parking lot. Like, there was hundreds of cars. It would have been terrible. Lesley Logan 21:33 Yeah. So they ran into the store, so Brad has to get them. Brad Crowell 21:36 So now I got all three dogs in the back, in the dog washing area, because I'm like, screw it. You guys are with me now. We're just gonna all hang out here. Finish washing Gaia. I blow dry Gaia down. And they were like, hey, can we get you a leash? Because the leashes were in the van. It wasn't like that, you know, so, and I was like, that would be so helpful. So they helped me, like, get the dogs on a leash. And, you know, we troop out of it, and everyone's happy because, you know, the dogs came to be with the pack. Lesley Logan 22:04 Yeah, so. Brad Crowell 22:06 Oh, and then I had to zip back just in time for the end of the workshop so that I could do the raffle. Lesley Logan 22:10 And I'm like, wrapping up this workshop, and he's not there. And I'm like, where the fuck is he? Because I can't, I don't know what I'm raffling off like I had to check people into this next thing. I had no idea this was going on. Anyways, oh my God. So this tour we. Brad Crowell 22:24 Chaos. Lesley Logan 22:25 This tour will be not chaotic. Future tours will not be chaotic because we have one dog. Brad Crowell 22:30 Yes, he's very chill. He just wants to lay next to you.Lesley Logan 22:33 He's very chill. Just wants to lay down. He wants to just be there. So I think it was so this is where we're at. No more shenanigans. Real easy. Roll in, roll out. You guys. We have two tours this year. We have a summer tour in the West Coast, into Canada. Please tell your friends, come make a trip out of it. We're doing some really cool cities. We're going to places you're going to want to travel to, and obviously, East Coast, the South check our Winter Tour list. And if you are living anywhere in the world and you want a tour stop, feel free to go to opc.me/host but opc.me/tour get tickets for you and your friends.Brad Crowell 23:06 If you want a tour stop, meaning you would like to host us, go to opc.me/host. If you would like information about the tour itself, go to opc.me/tour.Lesley Logan 23:16 And all of the classes and workshops are for all levels, so your friends and your family can come. These are not made to be only for teachers. There are CECs for the teachers. And again, our headlining sponsor for these next two tours is Balanced Body and Contrology. Oh, and now we have a contour kit, because we're bringing a Reformer, a mat and a Spine Corrector, so you guys can try those things out.Brad Crowell 23:40 Not a chair? Lesley Logan 23:41 No, we didn't buy the chair. Brad Crowell 23:42 Oh, I thought we did.Lesley Logan 23:44 No, we talked about that. Brad Crowell 23:44 All right, failed. Well, that's fine.Lesley Logan 23:47 I would love another chair. But we discussed that. Brad Crowell 23:50 It is big. It's just a lot.Lesley Logan 23:53 We discussed it. It was not the right thing to buy it until the van's more set up,Brad Crowell 23:58 Yeah. So anyway, come try out all that fun stuff. So what would you say would be a Be It Action Item for this episode? Lesley Logan 24:06 Oh, just go buy a ticket to our upcoming tour, because you're gonna have the best time. You're gonna be in community. If you feel lonely, or if you feel burnt out, or if you feel exhausted, then you come on this tour and you, I fill your cup. I prioritize you, I answer your questions. You get to see people you pass as two ships. You get to maybe meet up with people you had no idea love Pilates the same way you do. These literally bring people together. And it doesn't matter how you started Pilates, how many years been doing Pilates, if you teach who trained you. I don't give a fuck. Being in community is the be it action item. It's important.Brad Crowell 24:45 Cool. So my Be It Action Item is when it comes to projects like this, don't be afraid to make changes after you've decided this is how it should work, right, because, for example, if we didn't sell tickets to a spot why are we driving there, right? And that's a bummer, and that's frustrating, but you have to be able to be fluid enough to make changes in the moment when something isn't working or isn't making sense, or not necessarily in the moment, you have to catch it, you can assess it after the fact and do the post mortem, right? For example, from the Summer Tour '24 to the Winter Tour '24 we decided you clearly shouldn't be teaching nine days in a row. That is not healthy, right? So therefore we put a hard stop six days maximum on the way out to Philadelphia. We only taught one stint of six days. Everything else was five, four days in a row before we took a day off on the way back from Philadelphia, same thing, we only had one stint of six days because we were making adjustments and making changes. So, yeah, but I still agree with you that you should come join us because of community. It is so important, especially now with our virtual world, with loneliness being higher than it's ever been, with social media not helping any of us actually function in our own lives. Even though we've been sold this story that somehow it's gonna connect us better, it fucking doesn't, and it's just making us lonelier. So what we're trying to do is actually bring together people in real life, so that we can support each other and be around each other, because we need it. So we would love to meet you, come join us on these tours. Brad Crowell 26:22 Yes, all right, loves, until next time, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 26:25 Bye for now.

We wanted to bring the community together, and we wanted to get across the country. Lesley Logan 0:09 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:52 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast with Brad as my guest. Brad Crowell 0:56 What? Who is here? Lesley Logan 0:57 Have we actually done it where you're my guest?Brad Crowell 1:00 Maybe. I mean, I've been on a couple of episodes where we've had, like, a group with some guests, but, like, has it just been you and I on them? Lesley Logan 1:07 But you're also, no, I don't think so. Brad Crowell 1:09 Maybe this is, I'm making a debut, people. Lesley Logan 1:11 All right, so here's the deal. We actually have to, like, do this as if I was introducing that episode, so that there can be an ad break. Brad Crowell 1:18 All right, go ahead. Lesley Logan 1:19 Hey guys. So today's episode is gonna be a little different, because, yes, as you heard, Brad's on the show, and we're gonna be talking a bit about the tour, and I thought it'd be really fun for us to actually take you back in the history of like, how the OPC tours started, why we do them, and just have some talk about the tour this week, because we're coming up on our eighth tour.Brad Crowell 1:40 I can't believe it's been eight. That's like mind blowing, actually. Lesley Logan 1:43 We're crazy people. Brad Crowell 1:44 Maybe a little bit, maybe just a little bit. Lesley Logan 1:46 Okay. So, Brad, do you remember when we did the first tour? Do you remember how the idea came to be?Brad Crowell 1:52 I do remember how the idea came to be. So you and I were in a coaching group, and there was another couple in the group who had written a book. They were very excited about this book, and they wanted to go around the cities and do a book tour launch slash hosting workshops while they were effectively selling their book. Lesley Logan 2:11 Yeah. And we were like, well, how can we go on a book tour? Because, I mean, yes, I have a book, but I didn't want to, like, go on a tour about the book. I was like, that doesn't really, I don't know if that's something I could do all the time. We're like, what if I, like, what, how can we go on a tour? And then, because you were a touring musician.Brad Crowell 2:25 Right, as soon as I, as soon as I heard them say that, and we started talking, I was like, we could just teach Pilates classes as we drive around on a tour. Like, hello. So obvious. Why did we not think of it before? Lesley Logan 2:37 The year, so we need to go back a year before that, Brad. So the only reason we actually thought we could do a tour in 2019 was because in 2018 I put my feet in the sand and said, I'm not flying home for the holidays. I'm not doing it. I love your family, but I can't do another flight. We've already done 150,000 miles of flying. I've been everywhere, and I hate flying at Christmas time. And also, for some reason, guys, LAX to Philly is almost impossible to find a nonstop flight. It's impossible to find a nonstop flight from Las Vegas to Philly, and so you have to fly red eyes, which is annoying because it's four and a half hours, not six hours, so you're not getting any sleep. And then you land there, and it's 11am somehow, and you're like, how?Brad Crowell 3:22 Yeah, you land at seven, by the time you get back to the house, it's 10:30, yeah, I mean, it's.Lesley Logan 3:26 Annoying. Brad Crowell 3:26 Not great. Lesley Logan 3:26 Anyways. Also, the last time we flew in 2017, I did finally fall asleep. And then, of course, the lights come on and they're like, is there a doctor on the plane? And I was just like, if they land this plane, if someone is not, of course, I want people to live. I'm not an asshole. But also I was finally asleep. So anyways, because we had done a cross-country tour. Brad Crowell 3:50 Trip. Lesley Logan 3:50 Trip, trip, in 2018. Brad Crowell 3:51 We just, we just rented a car, let's just go east, basically. And we didn't have an agenda other than we just had a couple of friends along the way that we were interested in seeing and saying hi to, and that was it. Lesley Logan 4:05 Just kind of based on, like, how many hours we thought, like, together we could drive. And, okay, that gets us here at night. And, oh, we have friends in St Louis. Okay, we can go here. So we have this tiny little car with the two dogs, and we drove. Brad Crowell 4:17 And we rented an SUV. But I was like, oh, you know, I don't need a, I don't need like a huge Tahoe or Chevy Suburban or anything. We could just get a regular SUV. It was so small, y'all. Lesley Logan 4:28 I don't know how they can call it an SUV. You guys, it was like, no, this is not an SUV. If you put a family of five in there, you couldn't have the groceries in the car, like it was so small. But anyways, it was just the two of us and the two dogs. And when we were on this trip, I was like, posting on Instagram, and this is before you really used Instagram for business, but I was posting like, oh, we're here. You know, I feel like, are you teaching here? And I was like, oh, people want us to teach here. I didn't know people would want your class on the holidays. So this had happened in 2018. Brad Crowell 4:56 That's right. Lesley Logan 4:57 Fast forward to October of 2019, and we are hearing this, and we're like, well, how can we do, so we had the, we knew.Brad Crowell 5:04 Kind of like had like I, like, we, we'd been prompted by our members from OPC, but that didn't actually turn into like we're going to do this tour thing next year, until this other couple was talking about their book launch, you're right. So, that was like, the second step to push us, if we're, like, to make it happen. Lesley Logan 5:21 Yeah and because we knew we could do the drive. Brad Crowell 5:22 Right, because we just done it the previous year, and we drove, you know, we drove both ways, you know, back and forth. Lesley Logan 5:28 Yeah. So we actually did the posters on the wall. I should have grabbed it for the visual, but we did, like, eight or nine cities, actually, we did on the very first we did Las Vegas. Brad Crowell 5:37 So that was 2019. Lesley Logan 5:39 We did Las Vegas, Denver, we did. Brad Crowell 5:43 Did we do St Louis? Lesley Logan 5:44 I don't know that we did St Louis. We did, no, we did Libertyville. So we did outside of Chicago, and then we did, like, some other ville, like, which was outside of Cleveland, but not Cleveland. Brad Crowell 5:55 Yeah, it was close to Cleveland, though. Lesley Logan 5:57 And then we did Lehigh Valley. Brad Crowell 6:00 Right, yeah, it was like, basically Bethlehem. Lesley Logan 6:03 And then we did Nashville, and then we did Atlanta. Brad Crowell 6:06 Oh, we did Nashville? Lesley Logan 6:07 Yeah. Brad Crowell 6:08 Oh. Lesley Logan 6:08 It was huge, like, 30 people, and that's why it's so, and people were like are you in Nashville, you guys are not, like, ever since then, not such a great follow up, you guys are not great. Love you. We want to go, trust me, we want to do Nashville. Um, then we did Atlanta, and then we did Austin, and then we did Phoenix. Brad Crowell 6:28 Geez, I don't even know how you remember these things. Lesley Logan 6:30 And then, I know, and then, and then, I don't know that we considered it part of the tour, although very much was. It was in January, we did Redlands, and then the world shut down. And then, so our first tour. Brad Crowell 6:46 We did Scottsdale. It was the last stop. Lesley Logan 6:48 Yeah, yeah, yeah. We did this really cool place in Scottsdale. Brad Crowell 6:51 Yeah. So I actually just pulled up the list. You nailed it, Vegas to Denver, to Chicago, which is Libertyville, to Cleveland, which is Strongsville, your second ville.Lesley Logan 6:58 I said it was another ville. Brad Crowell 6:59 I'm so impressed. Then Lehigh Valley, which is Bethlehem, and then Nashville, Austin and Scottsdale. Yeah. I am impressed. Lesley Logan 7:06 And then there was like, this little post tour stop in Redlands, which was not part of the tour. We added it in after the fact, but it was so fun. And it was like the true die hards, you know, the people who know the band before they make it to Coachella. It was like.Brad Crowell 7:20 Scottsdale was insane to me, that people even came out. It was like, negative 4 million degrees hot, and we had an outdoor venue. Lesley Logan 7:28 It was New Year's Eve. It was New Year's Eve at an outdoor venue. Brad Crowell 7:32 We literally had, like, it was, like, every three mats, there was a space heater, and everyone was like, oh my God, it's so cool. We're doing Pilates outside on January 1st. What are we doing? Lesley Logan 7:40 We all got warm enough, and it was super fun. And it was so great. Brad Crowell 7:44 It was so fun. Lesley Logan 7:45 It was sold out. It was such a great spot. And people, like, came from Canada, there, it was just like crazy. So, at any rate, it was so much fun, and we wanted new, we knew we want to do it again, but then, of course, the pandemic happened. But here's what got to happen, guys, so the pandemic happened, Brad and I still drove across the U.S., but we thought. Brad Crowell 8:01 I was just looking at the ticket sales, we had 133 tickets sold on that first tour.Lesley Logan 8:07 On the first tour, yeah. But we did that with a Tahoe, by the way. Brad Crowell 8:11 What, the second tour? After the first tour.Lesley Logan 8:15 No, no, we went to the Tahoe for the first tour. We went to the Tahoe. Brad Crowell 8:18 2019 yeah, you're right, yeah, because we knew that the tiny little SUV wasn't going to cut it, especially because we were bringing, like, stuff, and it was gonna be a little more of a robust tour. So we rented a Tahoe, and that was fine-ish, you know, it wasn't, it wasn't ideal, though, because, like, there was no real, yes, you could lay down on the back seat. We had this, the back, the middle seat was laid flat, but like, you know, it wasn't comfortable trying to sleep in the passenger seats sucks, like.Lesley Logan 8:45 Yeah, and also, you guys, we also, because we're going to places where we had clients, it wasn't necessarily places where we had friends, and so we were getting hotels. We had a hotel in Denver. We stayed in the financial district. Brad Crowell 8:57 Oh, I forgot we did. Lesley Logan 8:58 And then, in Libertyville we did stay at the host, like, basement, but Gaia had an accident. We're like, my God, we can't stay in people's houses, because Gaia's old. At any rate, it was really fun, and we, like, did it, but then with the pandemic, we obviously couldn't do it again. But what we did do during the year of 2020, was we actually bought the van, and because we knew we wanted a tour vehicle, and thank God we bought it, even though we weren't going on tour that year because they wanted to pay us what we paid for that van, like people were like, clamoring to get that van off our hands. But we got the van, you guys, we took it across the country in less than 48 hours. We drove from Las Vegas.Brad Crowell 9:34 That was 55 on the way home. Yep, 55 hours solid, from Philadelphia to Vegas. Lesley Logan 9:39 We, but on the way there, I don't think that van ever really stopped, because we tried to sleep in Vail on a mattress on the metal base of this cargo van. Brad Crowell 9:50 So okay, so here's what this looks like. We buy a cargo van. A cargo van is an empty box on wheels. Okay? And we bought the longest and the tallest, so it's 23 feet long, it's nine and change tall. And it's a big, it's a big, empty box. Lesley Logan 10:07 We've loaded it up. We have pictures of you and the empty box. Brad Crowell 10:09 The only thing that we did was throw things on the floor. There was nothing else in there. We literally had a mattress with six blankets on it, right? And then we had boxes and suitcases. Lesley Logan 10:21 Everything had to be tied on the walls. Brad Crowell 10:23 We took our, we took our, this is so fun, we raided our own laundry room because in the laundry room we have one of those wheelie situations where you could throw your dirty laundry, but then you could hang clean laundry up at the top. So I took that out of the laundry room, and I zip tied it to the wall of the van, bungee corded it to the wall of the van, and that became like, how did we store? How did we do our clothes, you know? So, like, that was our closet. Lesley Logan 10:49 It was crazy, because then we were driving back with all these boxes, I just felt like everything was gonna fly on us. Anyways, so, Erika Quest shout out to Erika Quest, she had a dream about us the night we were sleeping in Vail, because we're in the Walmart parking in Vail. So we pull into this Walmart parking lot in Vail, and I'm in the bed. Went into the six blankets. We got the three dogs. You're under the blankets. It's great. It's actually fine, because, like, we blasted the heat. Everything's fine. Brad Crowell 11:11 I mean, it was cold, like cold in your face, but it was like the mummy bags when you went camping as a kid. Lesley Logan 11:16 Yeah. So, so great. So anyways, we're halfway through the night, we're sleeping so good and then August stands up to turn around in the bed, and he basically just twists all the blankets off of us. And in that instant, you and I both were awake. Brad Crowell 11:29 I was so angry. Lesley Logan 11:29 And so angry and so cold. Brad Crowell 11:30 Because I had just gone to sleep. It was midnight when I pulled in, and then I was literally asleep for two hours, and then he pulled all the blankets off of all of us by twirling around. And I was so frustrated about it, and it was eight degrees out, and I was like, screw it, we're just gonna continue to drive to Denver.Lesley Logan 11:47 Erika Quest had a dream that night that we were cold. She had a dream that we were really cold. And I said, well, you don't have to worry, because Brad drove us to Denver, where it was a little bit warmer. Brad Crowell 11:56 It was 30 degrees in Denver, it was so much warmer. Lesley Logan 11:58 So much more tolerable to sleep in. At any rate, we, like, got across the country, and people are like, oh, I wish you were doing the tour. And it's like, yeah, well, it's COVID. It's very unsafe, we cannot do it. But we were able to plan how much driving is possible. What do we want to do, and how we want to do this. And then, we did in 2021.Brad Crowell 12:14 We suppose, oh, that was '21. Lesley Logan 12:17 Yeah. So then, 2021, we were vaccinated, we were ready. We planned this whole tour, but we planned a small one. It was actually, I don't think it was as big as our first one, because. Brad Crowell 12:28 No, it was only like. Lesley Logan 12:30 Seven cities or something like that, because we, we, I think our first stop was going to be Pennsylvania.Brad Crowell 12:34 It was Philly, New York, like, city, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas. We were talking about Providence, but we postponed it, so it was only five. Lesley Logan 12:45 It was really small. And we actually had to cancel Philly and New York City, because along the route, I was exposed to COVID. I didn't know that I had it. And thankfully, someone texted me, and everything was going crazy at the time that variant came up. So we still did the tour. It was quite small. The (inaudible) happened and. Brad Crowell 13:03 We have way more time at my parents house than we normally do.Lesley Logan 13:07 A lot of time it was super fun, but we knew we're like, like, we want these tours to be a thing. And I ought to share this with you, because when you're being it till you see it, way of doing things, this is how long goals can take. Brad Crowell 13:17 2018 was our first cross country drive. 2019 was the first tour, 2020 was canceled. 2021 was, was. Lesley Logan 13:25 Was already going to be a smaller tour, because of the pandemic. Brad Crowell 13:29 It was five stops max. Lesley Logan 13:31 And by the way, every stop we picked were like huge spaces that's why they were picked.Brad Crowell 13:35 Yeah, we actually picked large rooms. Lesley Logan 13:37 Huge spaces. The Philly one was like softball, baseball, indoor practice arena, it was like 3000 square feet.Brad Crowell 13:42 I think they only started vaccinating people a couple months prior. Lesley Logan 13:45 No, this summer we got vaccinated. Brad Crowell 13:47 It was the summer, yeah. Six months.Lesley Logan 13:49 Yeah, so, but there was the booster, and then there's the thing. Anyways, because it was the holidays, we wanted to be conscientious. We want to make sure people felt safe. So we're like, these studios are massive, and we're only filling half the spaces. So at any rate, we really kind of got sidelined on that first half of that tour, but we got to do it. We got to do the second half, and we got to do Miami, Atlanta and Dallas, but then we were able to meet up with Balanced Body in the march of the next year. We got to tell them what we were doing. Got to get them really excited, and that's when we actually got to actually start to make our tours even bigger and better and add the Summer Tour.Brad Crowell 14:25 So that was tour number four. Lesley Logan 14:27 Tour number four was our first Summer Tour.Brad Crowell 14:28 It was the first with Balanced Body. That was the first Summer Tour. And we've been telling Balanced Body about these tours from the beginning. Lesley Logan 14:35 October of 2019, I told them what we were doing, and Ken and Al were like, oh, can you put a Reformer in that van? Anyways, all this to say this was like years in the making. And we'll, and next episode, we'll actually go into a bit about, like, why we work with a sponsor, what our tours have like become because they are bigger. They used to be, like, two weeks long, eight cities, five cities, and then they became 14 and 18 and 22 and and now we're getting like, 800 people to come and some amazing things. Lesley Logan 15:05 I want to wrap this up with some, be it action items, because I think that that's what is really important. So you'll do some, Brad, I'll do some. We never get to do, but that's, this will buy me time, because I didn't prepare you for this. One of the best things I could say is take a note of when those little things go, oh, I want to do something like that, even if you're like, wow, that's crazy. Why would I even think of that idea? It's such a crazy idea. Pay attention to those crazy nudges and then make it something that's possible to do now, because a lot of people come with an idea, oh, I'm gonna go on a book tour and I'm gonna have sponsors, and have this, and have this. We literally had like, two prizes. We had no sponsors. Brad Crowell 15:44 Yeah, I think, I think you might have got called Toesox and, or, you know, like.Lesley Logan 15:48 Yeah, I called Toesox and Carbon38. Brad Crowell 15:50 And we just said, hey, can you give us some socks? That was the cool thing. We want to do a giveaway. Lesley Logan 15:55 We didn't have any paid sponsors. We didn't have local vendors coming through. We did not make anything bigger. Brad Crowell 16:01 We also didn't even know that that was what we should turn into. It was more like, initially, it was an excuse to not fly and drive across the country, and then it grew. And each tour became more complex. Lesley Logan 16:16 I think the Be It Action Item was like, don't over complicate something, just try the smallest version of the idea out that has the intentionality of what you want. We wanted to bring the community together, and we wanted to get across the country. And the original tours basically paid for the gas.Brad Crowell 16:32 Not even exaggerating, they paid for the gas. And the one hotel that we stayed at. Initially, that was the vision. It was literally like, how do we pay for gas? Oh, let's teach a class. Great. We made $200 on it, let's pay the gas.Lesley Logan 16:45 How do we make sure the holiday trip is a write off? Let's work a few to have, you, technically it's some work 50% of the trip, and then it's a write off. So make sure you talk to your accountant. But anyways, so my Be It Action Item is do the least complex version of the idea and see if you'd like it. Because each time we did the tour, we'd get from like Philly to Nashville in a night, that was insane we're like we're never doing that again. Lesley Logan 17:09 Like Texarkana or something weird. I remember that. Lesley Logan 17:11 Yes, and we've like 12 hours to get from Nashville to there. Brad Crowell 17:14 We drove 14 hours in one day. That was brutal. Lesley Logan 17:17 Yeah, that was brutal, because we had to teach so, so we learned from by making it not complex, we actually got to learn a lot more. That's really helped us. You'll hear about how the tours have changed. What's your Be It Action Item?Brad Crowell 17:28 Okay. So my Be It Action Item, with that, I was gonna say take messy action but I mean, that's, we're pretty famous for that. I think that persistency, you know, like we didn't know the studio owners that we were trying to teach at? It wasn't like we were calling our friends in random cities and being like, hey, can we teach there? We started just reaching out to people and saying here's what our idea is. Is this of interest to you? And it was because we were persistent that we even found a location. Because I remember it was like, No. It was like, oh, okay, all right. Well, I guess this is the wrong location. No problem. We'll find another. Because for us, we knew, okay, this is the right stop, you know, this is approximately when we would want to be stopping driving for the day, when we should be teaching somewhere near here. How do we find a spot? You know, and working backwards, there's some logic there. But also we still have to find the people. We still have to meet the people, and then we have to be creative with the marketing. I remember at first we were like, We don't know anybody in Libertyville, Ohio. How can we, you know, connect with people, or Strongsville, Ohio, sorry, yeah, you're right. And I remember we started using Instagram hashtags to just hunt down Pilates people in the area and just leave it in voice notes, like. Lesley Logan 18:45 That was very, we were very persistent. You're correct, very persistent. And then I think, just to tack onto that, and then we'll wrap this up, because we'll tell you more on the next episode, not being afraid of rejection. One of the things we had to do was, like, you're gonna have stops turn you away. Like, no, I don't want to do that. We had people go, why are you doing that? They were like, really sketchy about us. Brad Crowell 19:04 We just had it happen yesterday with our eighth tour coming up, where someone you know was like, actually, this is the wrong time of the year for my clients. So no, he's like, oh, okay. Lesley Logan 19:14 It's not personal,. All right, loves. Well, stay tuned for how these tours have gotten to be bigger and even better and better for you, and better for my sleep and all those things in our next episode.

New simulations indicate only a 2% probability of a merger occurring within the next 3.7 to 5 billion years, suggesting that both galaxies may continue to evolve largely unperturbed for a much longer period. We explore the implications of these findings and the variables that have altered previous predictions about our galactic future.Understanding Seismic Wave Acceleration in Earth's D LayerA fascinating new study sheds light on the behavior of seismic waves deep within the Earth. Researchers have discovered that the unique crystal structure of minerals in the D layer, located near the core-mantle boundary, influences the acceleration of seismic waves. This breakthrough not only clarifies the mystery behind seismic wave behavior but also provides insights into the dynamics at play in the Earth's depths.Discovery of Embryonic Exoplanets Using Advanced TechniquesAstronomers have unveiled a new technique that has successfully identified five new embryonic exoplanets, offering a glimpse into their early formation stages. Utilizing the ALMA radio telescope, researchers can peer through dense protoplanetary disks to detect these young planets, which are forming rapidly in dynamic environments. This revolutionary method opens new avenues for understanding planetary evolution and the processes that govern the birth of new worlds.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natureastronomy/Communications Earth and Environmenthttps://www.nature.com/commsenv/Astrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/0004-637XBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 This is Space Time Series 28, Episode 69 for broadcast on 9 June 202501:00 New insights on the Milky Way and Andromeda collision12:15 Understanding seismic wave acceleration in Earth's D layer22:30 Discovery of embryonic exoplanets using advanced techniques30:00 Science report: AI systems refusing to turn off

What does it mean to partner with the Earth in sacred service? In this episode, I'm honored to welcome Cynthia Jurs—activist, teacher, and wisdom keeper of the Earth Treasure Vase practice. Her journey is one of deep listening, devotion, and global healing. From her early mentorship with Thich Nhat Hanh to a fateful meeting in a cave in Nepal, Cynthia was called to carry forward a Tibetan Buddhist practice of planting consecrated vases into the Earth to aid in planetary healing. Together, we explore the profound teachings of Gaia, the necessity of shifting from domination to love, and how true feminine sovereignty is woven into our reconnection with Earth and purpose. Cynthia's words remind us: the healing of the Earth is not separate from the healing of ourselves. This conversation is a prayer, a remembering, and an invitation.

Highlights:- Giant Planet Discovery: Dive into the astonishing discovery of TOI 6894 b, a gas giant orbiting the diminutive red dwarf star TOI 6894. This finding challenges our understanding of planet formation, as such small stars were not thought to possess enough material to form giant planets. With deep transits blocking 17% of the star's light, astronomers are eager to study its atmosphere using the James Webb Space Telescope.- The Mystery of Heavy Elements: Explore the peculiar star Limos J 0804 5740, found within the remnants of a dwarf galaxy known as the Gaia Sausage. This actinide boost star holds clues to the origins of the universe's heaviest elements, such as uranium and thorium, which are produced through rapid neutron capture processes. Studying this star may help unravel the cosmic puzzle of how these elements are formed.- China's Reusable Rocket: Learn about Space Epic's recent test launch of their reusable rocket booster, the Yangxing Zhi one, which successfully performed a soft landing in the ocean. Although it sank post-landing, the test demonstrated crucial capabilities for future missions, showcasing China's growing ambitions in space exploration alongside its emerging private sector.- Galaxy Clusters on a Collision Course: Get the latest on NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory findings, revealing two galaxy clusters that have already collided and are now on a trajectory for a second encounter. These clusters, located 2.8 billion light years away, exhibit unique shock fronts and provide valuable insights into the dynamics of massive cosmic structures.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

In this episode, Athina and Daryl open up about their sacred journey with the Dragon realms and the moment they were called to fulfill a soul contract made long before this lifetime. Athina and Daryl share their journey into trance channelling this huge body of work with the Dragons. From their first encounters with Dragon energy to the intense initiations and energetic attunements, they reveal what it truly means to co-create with Earth's original architects. You'll hear the behind-the-scenes of how Athina's body was prepared to hold the frequency, how Daryl's deeply rooted connection to land spirits became foundational, and why the Dragons are calling now. We cover: Learn why the Dragons are reconnecting with humanity and what this means for your role in Gaia's ascension Discover how Athina and Daryl were energetically prepared to receive and transmit a high-frequency body of work Understand the role of Dragons as elemental architects and why they're passing the torch to light leaders now Hear the soul contract story that initiated this mission and how you might be carrying one too Explore how Dragon work, grid work, and land spirits are deeply woven into your spiritual path and sacred business Be inspired by Athina's channeled journey and how she was taught a completely new way to hold the intensity of Dragon energy Learn what it truly means to walk in multidimensional leadership and co-create with Earth's living energy If you've ever felt drawn to Dragons, grid work, or sacred service to the Earth, this is for you.

What if the roles of masculine and feminine were never meant to fit into old 3D boxes? What if your relationship is the bridge between spirit and Earth? In this raw, real, and deeply activating episode, Athina and Daryl open up about their journey navigating 3D vs 5D polarity, sharing the sacred dynamics that have allowed their relationship, love, and business to flourish. They go deep into how they broke free from rigid masculine-feminine roles taught in conventional polarity teachings and discovered their own divine blueprint. One that honors the feminine as not just the emotional holder but as the Oracle, the channel, the spiritual guide. And the masculine not just as a provider but as the energetic protector, the anchor, and the builder of sacred space. This episode is a transmission for light leaders already in divine union or calling one in. You'll hear the deeper truths behind what truly sustains a long-term soul partnership which goes beyond surface level roles. From navigating the traps of “roommate energy” to activating a bond rooted in shared purpose, we explore how the feminine serves as an intuitive guide and energetic compass, while being fully supported, honoured, and held by the sacred masculine. We cover: Learn the difference between 3D polarity (traditional roles) and 5D polarity (soul-led co-creation) Understand why the feminine is not holding the emotional but also deeply spiritual and intuitive Discover how Athina channels and leads spiritually while Daryl anchors the vision into the 3D realm See how true masculine energy protects the feminine's nervous system and holds energetic space for her gifts Hear how their sacred union thrives by honoring each other's soul paths, vision, and divine assignments Learn how to fight consciously, communicate clearly, and avoid falling into roommate energy Feel inspired by their real-life examples of building a business, relationship, and legacy through spiritual alignment and divine roles ✨ This is the new paradigm of sacred union. And it's time we talked about it. ✨

For over a century, astronomers believed the Andromeda galaxy was on a collision course with the Milky Way, set to merge in 4–5 billion years. Hubble data supported this forecast. However, a new study—using updated data from Hubble and the Gaia space observatory—suggests the odds of a Milky Way-Andromeda merger are now closer to 50/50.

Stavatti Aerospace has been around since 1994 and at no point has the company manufactureD even a prototype craft, let alone an actual product. They only have plastic models, 3D prints, and some really bad digital concept art. Despite this fact, and years of suspicion around potential investment fraud, they are now promising the SM-39 advanced mach 4 fighter jet with metal-matrix engine technology. The “CEO” Chris Beskar says the plane will also be cheap, only $85-million per unit, but he needs $300-million to build the prototype and about $3-billion to test it fully. That's all before he sells it to militaries around the world that he believes are ready to line up and buy thousands of units. The man helping to give Stavatti and Chris credibility, or maybe strip it further, is David Wilcock, who has gone from Cosmic Con Man to Military Industrial CON-plex MAN. After promising antigravity and hover cars for commercial purchase, David has descended to selling investment in Stavatti, a company he is now helping run as part of their board of directors. For anyone paying attention, its likely what is actually happening here is that David invested his Ancient Alien money in a company that turned out to be engaged in fraud (Stavatti), at which point he either had to admit fault or play along. He chose to play along, worked out a deal to become a board member, and now works to procure further investment in the company so he can avoid financial ruin - almost like a pyramid scheme. David is also dealing with ongoing legal troubles, as he apparently attempted to defraud Colorado courts in a discovery process, then lied to his audience about it online. Now Gaia is requesting he be compelled to turn over more records, as requested; and these are documents that implication suggests, based on what was already selectively curated, implicate Corey Goode and David Wilcock in a conspiracy to take down Gaia, while continuing to grift and lie to their own supporters. The motion to compel threatens to hold him in contempt of court and force him likewise to pay Gaia's attorney's fees. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

IVF Clinic Bombing and Pro-Mortalism Ideology (00:02:09 - 00:09:27)Guy Edward Bartkus bombed a Palm Springs IVF clinic, killing himself and injuring five, motivated by pro-mortalism (life causes suffering, death is liberation). His manifesto, hosted on promortalism.com, rails against pro-lifers and life itself, reflecting a nihilistic, anti-human philosophy rooted in online subcultures.Cultural Nihilism and Social Media's Role (00:13:03 - 00:24:28)The bomber's pro-mortalism reflects a broader cultural nihilism, influenced by ideas like Gaia theory (humans as a virus) and amplified by social media platforms. Reddit, TikTok, and Tumblr are criticized as hubs for pseudo-intellectualism, fostering anti-life ideologies among isolated individuals.Bible Engagement as a Positive Trend (00:24:28 - 00:31:02)A LifeWay survey shows 48% of Americans view the Bible as true (up from 36% in 2016), with rising Bible sales and reading. This suggests a growing rejection of secular humanism and a return to spiritual values amid cultural nihilism.Covid as a Scam (Music Man Analogy) (00:41:36 - 00:50:18)A Brownstone Institute article compares the Covid response to The Music Man, where fear (inflated death counts, PCR test misuse) enriched “snake oil salesmen” like Fauci. This mirrors historical fearmongering (9/11, Waco) to erode rights, with elites profiting from compliance.Trump's Tariffs Impact on Small Businesses (01:11:21 - 01:16:20)An NFIB survey shows Trump's unpredictable tariffs are reducing small business optimism (down to 95.8, below the 51-year average), creating market uncertainty akin to Covid-era disruption. Small businesses face tight margins, reduced hiring, and stalled investments, with tech sector impacts highlighted by YouTubers Louis Rossman and Gamers Nexus.DEA Corruption in Drug War (01:27:30 - 01:35:58)An AP article reveals Diego Marin, a Cali cartel figure, evaded capture with DEA complicity, bribing agents while building a $100M money-laundering empire. Compared to Whitey Bulger and Iran-Contra, it's framed as a problem-reaction-solution tactic to expand the police state.Mexican Navy Ship Crash (01:37:07 - 01:39:26)An NBC News report describes a Mexican Navy sailing ship crashing into the Brooklyn Bridge, killing two and injuring 22 due to a mechanical failure. The surreal event stunned New Yorkers, highlighting the unexpected nature of Mexico's sailing navy.CDC Covid Vaccine Recommendations (01:52:26 - 01:56:33)A Wall Street Journal article reports the Trump administration plans to drop routine Covid vaccine recommendations for pregnant women, teenagers, and children, led by HHS Secretary RFK Jr. The host criticizes the CDC's blanket recommendation (everyone 6 months and older) due to no long-term safety data, profit-driven motives, and harmful side effects, arguing the vaccine should be removed entirely.HHS Covid Vaccine Recommendations and Authority (02:05:33 - 02:13:16)Dr. Ruby critiques HHS's plan to stop recommending Covid vaccines for children and pregnant women as a red herring, given its authority over FDA, NIH, CMS, and CDC to demand immediate removal. She warns of deceptive terms like “considering” and questions state chemtrail bans, citing federal exemptions (Title 50, Prep Act) and global air circulation, suspecting controlled opposition.Novavax Approval Critique and Bird Flu (02:21:20 - 02:30:03)The FDA fully approved Novavax's Covid shot, marketed as non-mRNA but using synthetic spike proteins from moth cells, posing risks like myocarditis with no long-term studies. Dr. Ruby warns of off-label use and compares it to Pfizer/Moderna's rollout. She critiques bird flu as a fabricated threat, with chicken culling inflating egg prices and testing economic control, not addressing real disease.Vaccine Shedding and Industry Protections (02:16:43 - 02:51:36)Pfizer's investigator brochure admits Covid vaccine shedding via inhalation and skin contact, raising concerns about unknown contents affecting unvaccinated individuals. Dr. Ruby highlights the vaccine industry's Prep Act immunity, with government payouts in vaccine court, and Pfizer's 50% non-disclosure agreement, allowing undisclosed ingredients, akin to coercive contracts demanding country assets.Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.
IVF Clinic Bombing and Pro-Mortalism Ideology (00:02:09 - 00:09:27)Guy Edward Bartkus bombed a Palm Springs IVF clinic, killing himself and injuring five, motivated by pro-mortalism (life causes suffering, death is liberation).

For the most part, the star cluster NGC 2281 has escaped the attention of astronomers. It hasn’t been studied in a lot of depth over the years. So many of its details haven’t really been locked down. So far, astronomers have cataloged more than 200 stars in the cluster. And they’ve ruled out many more stars that happen to line up in the same direction. That makes NGC 2281 a fairly puny cluster. The cluster’s distance is a bit uncertain as well. Measurements have been getting better in recent years, thanks in part to the Gaia space telescope. It’s obtained precise details on several of the stars in the cluster, including their distance. Those observations put NGC 2281 at more than 1700 light-years. And its age is still debated, too. Estimates in recent years have ranged from about 275 million to 630 million years. Various studies have used different techniques to plot the age. That includes the types of stars found in the cluster, the number of dead stars, and even how fast the Sun-like stars in the cluster spin; stars slow down as they age. NGC 2281 is in Auriga the charioteer, in the west-northwest as night falls. The “twins” of Gemini stand to its upper left, with the brilliant star Capella farther to its lower right. Under clear, dark skies, it’s visible to the unaided eye as a hazy patch of light – a star cluster that we’re still getting to know. Script by Damond Benningfield
Care More Be Better: Social Impact, Sustainability + Regeneration Now
The earth offers a lot of things that make us and the entire planet healthier – we only have to know which things are genuinely good for us. Ric Scalzo joins Corinna Bellizzi to share how he masterfully combines his knowledge with herbal medicine, regenerative farming, and ancient traditions to bring healing to people and the world as a whole. Ric explains why he believes the future of medicine begins with a microbiome of the soil and ourselves, as well as how to grow high-quality crops through regenerative practices while keeping the soil healthy. Ric also shares the many lessons he has learned from founding Gaia Herbs to starting his newest venture Kokora Life.***Get 20% off Kokora products (Care More Be Better will ALSO receive a commission) with the coupon code: CAREMORE20 or just follow this link and the coupon will auto-load in your cart: https://kokoralife.com/discount/CAREMORE20 ***About Guest:Ric Scalzo began his exploration of herbal and naturopathic medicine in 1980, delving into fields such as Naturopathic Herbal Medicine, Eclectic Herbal Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and various diagnostic methods. He earned a master's degree in Herbal Medicine from the School of Herbal Medicine and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. After several years of medical practice, Ric founded Gaia Herbs in 1987 and grew Gaia to the most respected and successful herbal company in the country. After selling Gaia in 2019, Ric established the Institute of Botanical Research in Arizona and established CR Medicinal Farms, a regenerative organic farm in Costa Rica. These became the stepping stones for his new adventure called Kokora, a herbal products company focused on regenerative organic cultivation with a mission to "create the finest herbal remedies that promote health and vitality for all”. Celebrated for his pioneering work in Herbal Medicine and his dedication to preserving herbal integrity for over four decades, Ric continues to innovate in the field and plays a key role in integrating regenerative agriculture with herbal medicine.Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kokoralifeGuest Website: https://kokoralife.comGuest Social: https://www.instagram.com/kokoralife/https://www.tiktok.com/@kokora.lifehttps://www.facebook.com/kokoraliferegeneratedhttps://www.youtube.com/@KokoraLifeShow Notes: Raw audio00:03:08 - Ric's Origin Story00:06:44 - Merging Traditional Wisdom With Modern Science00:10:25 - Making Herbal Products Palatable00:14:50 - Nutrition Density In The Soil00:21:03 - Differences Between Regenerative And Organic00:28:09 - Weeds: The First Succession Of Life00:30:58 - How The Regenerative Movement Grows00:39:50 - Growing Your Own Ingredients00:45:10 - Ric's Five Core Principles00:51:27 - Plants As Teachers00:50:25 - The Story Behind Kokora's Name01:09:19 - Episode Wrap-up And Closing WordsJOIN OUR CIRCLE.
