Alcohol might be one of the longest-standing relationships in your life, and today's episode will give you permission to grieve the breakup. You were taught to put alcohol on a pedestal - a magical substance that ‘would make every experience better'. Realizing that lie might come with sadness, confusion, anger, and...yes, grief. Lean into that. Feel it all. You won't stay there. I'm proud of you. Keep going.

Real Sober Mom Danielle couldn't imagine a life without alcohol. Though alcohol didn't play a large role in her upbringing in the Congo with her missionary family, it slowly began to creep into her life after the death of her grandmother who she'd been taking care of in her early 20s in Colorado. Alcohol showed up for Danielle in her grief, and from that point she began to really love the way it made her feel.Drinking was the norm at the school Danielle began to teach at, which cemented it even more deeply into her lifestyle. More and more each year, she leaned on it to get herself through the grief of a miscarriage and the consistent challenges of being a teacher. Danielle knew she needed to quit, but she had no clue what a positive sober life could look like. It wasn't until she found this podcast that she began to hear stories of women who actually loved their sober lives. After the loss of a close friend this past summer, Danielle knew it was time to quit. So, she began to search for the joy in sobriety. She is now six months sober and she wants to encourage you to keep going! Community makes all the difference.

Lead with Your Light: Individual Empowerment, Influence, and Impact with Human Design. Nancy says “I was called to write this book.  I believe women hold the key to ushering in the transition we are experiencing in the world because their energy matches the new era energy of compassion, collaboration, and community.  This energy is more feminine than what we have been living under for the last 400 years.  It is an opportunity for women to rise into positions of influence not by stepping into the current hierarchical leadership paradigms for personal gain, but by redefining leadership through individual contributions to the common good.” Bio: Nancy OKeefe is a Certified Quantum Human Design Specialist and intuitive business coach, who guides female Entrepreneurs and service-based business owners to align their business with their soul's purpose so they can be in the ease and flow of who they truly are, attract and serve their right clients, and flourish in an abundant and sustainable business.

We are redefining leadership. Everyone is a leader. Leadership doesn't need to be developed in the traditional sense. You were born with it.

Human Design shows us we are all unique, here with a purpose and a specific contribution only you can make. Claim your right place in the world. None of us are here to play small. The world needs your contribution. Step out of the shadow of who you were taught to be and lead with your light.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming...a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. In this segment of The Drum Panel, I'm joined by Eric Urrea (Marina City) and Matt Starr (Sarah McLachlan) for a conversation that starts in the weeds and slowly turns into therapy. We kick things off with some proper nerd talk about trash can endings, stingers, and the infamous shugidaboom. From there, the conversation opens up into music education, what band programs still get right, and what probably needs to change if we want young musicians to feel like there's a real place for them. Along the way, we talk about community, ego, self-direction, and why playing with other people is still the part of music you can't really learn from a screen. Then the back half gets more reflective, as we get into success, creative identity, and the weird pressure of trying to make something that actually feels meaningful. --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

What does it really look like to pause something successful, trust your gut, and come back even stronger? I'm joined by powerhouse entrepreneur Stephanie Ross, CEO of Small Business Sister Circle, author, podcast host, realtor, and mom, to unpack her bold podcast rebrand and relaunch. Stephanie shares what led her to step away, why now was the right time to return, and how she approached this new season differently by recording the audio version of her book through her show, leaning into more solo episodes, implementing affiliate ad partnerships, and hiring support. We also dive into what it truly takes to host a large-scale event like the upcoming Sister Circle Summit in La Crosse, Wisconsin, from the pressure of year six to the energy required to create a safe and transformative space.

Dr. Peter Kreeft believes that the best argument against God's existence is the problem of pain, and in today's episode he provides spiritual insights into this mystery. Get Your Copy of “Making Sense Out Suffering” here (Book Releases 3/20): https://ignatius.com/making-sense-out-of-suffering-msosp/?searchid=0&search_query=making+sense+of+suffering Suffering afflicts us all; whether you are suffering now or will experience great suffering in the future. Naturally, suffering causes us to question God's love, His providence, and even His existence. But suffering must not cause us to reject God; instead we must wrestle with Him and ultimately unite ourselves with Him. Dr. Peter Kreeft beautifully illustrates this process of wrestling with God in this episode and in his book “Making Sense of Suffering.” Written when he himself was going through great suffering, Dr. Kreeft blends personal experience, spiritual wisdom, and philosophical perspective to reveal the truly Catholic approach to suffering. This book is not written on the mountain top as one who no longer suffers or has all the answers, but from one in the valley of tears who encourages his fellow Christian to look to the Heavens. We highly recommend this book and conversation for all who experience great pain, sadness, or suffering. It will be a true consolation but also a challenge as we place all our trust and hope in God.   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.

Today we tackle the dreaded ‘forever' question as we walk through Chapter 10 of my book The Sober Shift. You don't have to answer if giving up alcohol is forever. We don't ask that about any other lifestyle choice, why do we ask it about this? Instead, let me offer you a shift. What you thought of it as ‘sober for good'. Make a list of all the things that ‘sober for good' might mean to you and see if that reframe gives you the support that you need. It did for me. Community makes all the difference.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming...a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. In this segment of The Drum Panel, I'm joined by Eric Urrea (Marina City) and Ralph Alexander (Poppy) for one of those conversations that goes everywhere. We start with life on the road and the physical reality of playing demanding shows night after night. From there we get into practice routines, creativity, and the strange balance between working hard and actually allowing yourself to rest. Eric also brings in a few spicy listener takes, which sparks some fun debates about jazz vs rock, whether technical drummers lose their feel, and the never-ending argument about electronic drums. Somewhere along the way we end up talking about confidence, why most drummers struggle to say they actually like their own playing, and how your influences slowly shape the way you hear the instrument...who'd have thought? In this episode: Ralph shares the story of the Slayer shirt he's carried to every show for over twenty years The first drum parts we learned that actually felt like a real breakthrough A debate about whether learning jazz really makes you a “better” drummer Why some drummers worry that learning more might ruin their feel The role rest and downtime play in creativity Whether electronic drums should even be compared to acoustic drums A rare moment where drummers admit they might actually like their own playing --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

When I polled my Instagram community and asked what was holding women back from committing to sobriety the biggest answer I received was FOMO - fear of missing out. Today as we cover chapter 9 of my book The Sober Shift I want to shift this fear for you and ask you to ask yourself the question: what is alcohol making me miss out on? For me and so many women, the realities of what we lost to alcohol only became clear in sobriety. Trust me, there are incredible experiences on the other side. Community makes all the difference.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. This is another segment of The Drum Panel featuring myself, Sarab Singh (MUNA), and Brendan Buckley (Shakira). In this episode, we talk about: Getting over the fear of recording at home and figuring out certain techniques later in your career Why some producers and artists choose emotional takes over technically perfect ones When quantizing, sample replacing, or comping starts to blur the line between your playing and studio editing The tension between technique and comfort—and why great technique doesn't always feel great What makes a groove feel “bad,” and how context, consistency, and taste shape that judgment --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Our society is stuck on the idea that sobriety should be rooted in shame. In today's episode and in chapter 8 of my book The Sober Shift, I push back on that and argue that your sobriety should not feel like something that you need to hide!

Congrats, You’re Promoted—Now What? The champagne has been poured, the desk is clean, and the new title looks incredible on your email signature. But then Monday morning hits, and the terrifying reality sets in: the skills that got you the job are not the skills that will help you keep it. In an instant, you've been promoted from being “one of the team” to the one responsible for the team's success, their failures, and their future. This week on A New Direction, we're cutting through the corporate fluff to talk about the messy, emotional, and high-stakes transition of the “new leader.” We are joined by the legendary Noel Massie, author of the essential guide Congrats! You've Been Promoted! Noel knows that a promotion is a double-edged sword; it's a reward for your past, but it's a relentless demand on your future. He brings a raw, authentic look at the “promotion trap”—the moment where many high-achievers fail because they try to manage people the same way they managed tasks. This isn’t just a business interview; it's a survival guide for your career's most pivotal moment. The shift from “me” to “we” is the hardest psychological hurdle any professional will ever face. Noel breaks down the internal architecture of a leader, showing you how to navigate the loneliness of the top floor and the pressure of being the person with all the answers (even when you're still figuring them out). We dive into why your technical expertise is now your biggest liability and why your “soft skills” are now your only hard currency. If you've ever felt like an imposter in your own office or worried that your promotion might be the ceiling of your potential, this episode is your wake-up call. Coach Jay and Noel Massie are handing you the keys to the executive suite—not just to get you through the door, but to ensure you own the room. Stop playing small in your big new role; it's time to stop managing and start leading. Noel Massie’s book, “Congrats! You’ve Been Promoted: An Essential Guide for Helping New Leaders and Their Teams Succeed” is one of the most practical, insightful, leadership books that is filled with wisdom for leaders you will use right now! Noel, takes his decades of experience and the lessons he learned and applied along his journey in UPS.  This is not your ordinary leadership book.  It is not theory; it is practical guidance in how to handle real world situations with your employees. The fact is, when we get promoted to any leadership position it is easy for us to have our ego get in the way.  Noel takes us through understanding that while you may be a leader you carry the responsibility for all your employees.  Every behavior, on or off the clock matters.  You are being evaluated by your employees by every action and every word. And the only person that is responsible for how you act and talk is you! While many books are written for the CEO this is written to anyone who has just been promoted to a leadership position. If you want to truly lead people who want to follow you, support you, and be champions for you, Congrats! You’ve Been Promoted is an absolute must read! Get Your Copy by clicking here!

In today's episode, Sanjana Paul, the Executive Director of Rooted Futures Lab, shared how her organization is bridging the gap between technology and environmental justice to create a more equitable and sustainable future.Sanjana explained that environmental justice, as a concept, ensures equal protection from environmental harm, regardless of income, race, or geography. She shared a disturbing insight from Dr. Robert Bullard's research: low-income communities and communities of color are disproportionately burdened by pollution and environmental hazards. “A kid anywhere in the world should be able to breathe and not be breathing in pollution,” Sanjana said.Rooted Futures Lab is tackling this challenge by merging education, research, and action. A key initiative involves hosting environmental hackathons, where young scientists and engineers learn to develop technologies with environmental awareness at their core. “We see hackathons as a fun and community-centric way to introduce hands-on environmental education,” she explained. These events inspire the next generation of engineers to think critically about the environmental impact of their innovations.The organization also collaborates with students and researchers to reimagine technologies like refrigeration systems through workshops that focus on reducing environmental harm. Additionally, they are conducting research on digital infrastructure, such as data centers, to analyze their environmental impact and propose sustainable alternatives.“We should be trying to be better engineers,” Sanjana emphasized. “How can we build transit systems that get us from one place to another without giving a kid asthma?” Her work highlights how technology, when approached thoughtfully, can be used to address systemic inequities and reduce environmental harm.By focusing on educating future engineers, conducting groundbreaking research, and fostering collective action, Sanjana and Rooted Futures Lab are paving the way for a greener, fairer future.tl;dr:Sanjana Paul defines environmental justice and explains its connection to technology and systemic inequities.Rooted Futures Lab educates young engineers through hackathons to foster environmentally conscious innovation.Sanjana highlights key projects, including research on digital infrastructure and sustainable design workshops.She shares how her superpower, connecting the dots, enables her to bridge fields for positive impact.Sanjana encourages collaboration, curiosity, and deep thinking to address environmental challenges effectively.How to Develop Connecting the Dots As a SuperpowerSanjana describes her superpower as “connecting the dots.” She shared how her diverse background in electrical engineering, environmental science, and energy policy allows her to see links between seemingly unrelated fields. “These dots may not seem like they connect, but they really do to me,” Sanjana said. Her ability to uncover these connections enables her to address complex challenges, like bridging environmental justice and technology, with a holistic approach.Sanjana's work at Rooted Futures Lab exemplifies her superpower. While working in atmospheric sensing, she observed the devastating impacts of extreme weather events and pollution. This inspired her to connect environmental justice with technology, leading to the creation of Rooted Futures Lab. The organization now focuses on educating engineers about the environmental impacts of technology, hosting hackathons, and reimagining infrastructure to align with environmental justice principles.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Be Curious: Treat every moment as an opportunity to learn or teach.Think Holistically: Look for connections between seemingly unrelated fields or ideas.Engage with Others: Work collaboratively in a community to tackle complex problems.Slow Down: Take time to reflect on root causes instead of reacting to immediate issues.Learn from Experts: Seek knowledge from those working in areas you want to understand better.By following Sanjana's example and advice, you can make connecting the dots a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

When Ariel was young she saw alcohol as her closest friend. But slowly the ways in which alcohol was not a close friend, but a toxic relationship, began to surface - through a DUI at 18, or the mom shame she began to feel for her drinking once she became a mother at 22. Alcohol was completely normalized in her family, though, and she could not even conceive that she would need to quit. As a social worker, Ariel had seen the worst cases of addiction and she did not relate to those at all. After Ariel's mother passed away her drinking ticked up and she fell into a deep depression. Two psychiatrists (one quite rudely!) alerted her to the fact that alcohol might be making her depression worse. On the day after her birthday last year she realized she was just ‘tired' of it, so she committed to 30 days of sobriety. And at the end of those 30 days? She just didn't see the point of drinking anymore. It had taken too much from her life. It was time to break up and leave her toxic relationship with alcohol for good.

This startling gap in care is the driving force behind My Diabetes Tutor, a telehealth platform founded by Dr. Prem Sahasranam. His mission? To make diabetes education accessible to everyone, regardless of geography or socioeconomic barriers.Dr. Sahasranam, a board-certified endocrinologist with nearly two decades of experience, explained how critical education is in diabetes management: “Studies have shown that just going through diabetes education reduces A1C by 0.73 points. At our program, our outcomes are two times better than the national average.” With over 9,000 patients served, My Diabetes Tutor consistently delivers remarkable results, achieving an average A1C reduction of 1.6 points—enough to significantly lower complications and mortality rates.The idea for My Diabetes Tutor was born out of necessity. Dr. Sahasranam shared a story about how two full-time diabetes educators in his rural California practice helped patients achieve exceptional outcomes. When they retired in 2018, he struggled to recruit replacements, a problem endemic to underserved areas. “I decided to build a telehealth program,” he said. “My goal was to solve an access issue and deliver diabetes education to people, irrespective of their zip code or language.”My Diabetes Tutor provides nationally accredited virtual diabetes education, covering medical nutrition therapy, continuous glucose monitoring, insulin pump training, and more. The platform recently launched the first-ever pediatric diabetes education program, a groundbreaking step toward addressing the needs of young patients.Dr. Sahasranam's vision extends beyond patient outcomes to include investor participation. My Diabetes Tutor is currently raising capital through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. “I want investors to own a piece of our growth and be part of our journey,” he said. The company generated over $2 million in revenue last year with a 61 percent gross margin, demonstrating both impact and financial viability.Dr. Sahasranam's work is not just about business; it's a mission to transform lives. By breaking down barriers to education, he's giving people the tools to manage their diabetes effectively, live healthier lives, and reduce complications.For those looking to make a difference—or simply to invest in a business delivering measurable impact—My Diabetes Tutor offers a unique opportunity.tl;dr:Dr. Prem Sahasranam founded My Diabetes Tutor to provide virtual education for diabetes management.The program addresses barriers to care in underserved communities by delivering telehealth services nationwide.My Diabetes Tutor achieves outcomes twice as effective as national averages in reducing A1C levels.The company generated over $2 million in 2025 and is raising capital via StartEngine crowdfunding.Prem credits emotional intelligence as his superpower, driving his mission to revolutionize diabetes care.How to Develop Emotional Intelligence As a SuperpowerDr. Prem describes his superpower as emotional intelligence, honed through years of experience as a board-certified endocrinologist. He explained, “Most health systems focus on the biology of the disease and fail to address the human part.” By understanding the emotional and practical needs of patients, Prem has created innovative solutions to improve access to diabetes education. He added, “I learned from my experience and built the right team, content, and technology to bring in diabetes education, easily accessible for patients.”Prem shared a pivotal story of a patient who had been struggling to control their diabetes despite receiving appropriate medications. The patient hesitated to make a two-hour drive to see Prem but eventually visited his practice and met with a diabetes educator. Without altering the patient's medications, the educator provided tailored guidance that helped the patient manage their condition. This experience inspired Prem to create My Diabetes Tutor, ensuring patients could access life-changing education from their own homes.Tips for Developing Emotional Intelligence:Reflect on past experiences to identify unmet needs and learn from them.Stay aware of the human challenges behind systemic issues.Focus on creating solutions that address both emotional and practical barriers.Build strong, empathetic teams that align with your mission.By following Dr. Prem's example and advice, you can make emotional intelligence a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

The journey demands dedication, perseverance, and grit—and crossing the finish line is a moment to be cherished. MarathonFoto, under the leadership of its president Brad Kroll, has mastered the art of capturing these transformational moments and turning them into lifelong treasures.Brad, who joined MarathonFoto in 1998, fell in love with the endurance sports industry, which includes both running and cycling. His passion for the work is rooted in the unique ability of endurance events to inspire anyone willing to put in the effort. “Every runner has a story,” Brad said during today's episode. “And these photos sort of bookend that story. It kind of covers the whole story for them and highlights what they've accomplished.”What sets MarathonFoto apart is its commitment to enhancing the experience for both runners and race organizers. The company captures thousands of images of participants across events in North America and Europe, offering athletes a chance to relive their monumental achievements. Brad explained, “We go and we capture these images of athletes… and we're able to really enhance their whole experience and help them celebrate what they accomplished.”Beyond just photographs, MarathonFoto plays a pivotal role in supporting the broader running community. Brad shared that 30–35% of the company's revenue is returned to race organizations, many of which are nonprofits. This revenue-sharing model not only funds future events but strengthens the community by providing resources for race organizers to improve their offerings.In addition to its financial contributions, MarathonFoto supports industry organizations like Running USA and the Road Race Club of America, which educate race leaders and promote best practices. By doing so, the company ensures that its impact extends far beyond the finish line.MarathonFoto's rapid image delivery system, which provides runners with enhanced, shareable photos within minutes of finishing a race, exemplifies its commitment to customer experience. “Runners want that instant gratification of seeing their photo almost immediately after crossing the finish line,” Brad said. These images, enhanced for vibrant colors and optimal skin tones, allow runners to celebrate and share their triumphs with their communities.Brad's leadership at MarathonFoto demonstrates the company's dedication to uplifting the running community, celebrating personal achievements, and fostering inspiration for future generations of athletes.tl;dr:MarathonFoto captures life-changing moments at endurance events, enhancing runners' experiences with professional photos.The company supports nonprofits by sharing 30–35% of its revenue with race organizations.MarathonFoto's rapid image delivery system gives runners instant access to their finish-line photos.Brad Kroll's strategic empathy drives innovation, ensuring athletes, organizers, and sponsors benefit.Brad encourages active listening and adaptability to build meaningful connections and deliver impactful solutions.How to Develop Strategic Empathy As a SuperpowerBrad describes his superpower as “strategic empathy,” which he defines as listening deeply to understand the needs of athletes, race organizers, and sponsors. This skill enables him to align MarathonFoto's operations with the desires of all stakeholders. “If the athletes are happy, then the race is happy. And if the race is happy, the sponsors are happy,” Brad explained. By internalizing feedback and adapting the business to meet those needs, he ensures MarathonFoto delivers value that benefits everyone involved.Brad highlighted the development of MarathonFoto's rapid image delivery system as a prime example of his strategic empathy. Runners expressed a desire to share their race finishes with friends and family immediately after completing a marathon. Listening to this feedback, Brad and his team developed a system to provide runners with enhanced finish-line photos within minutes of crossing the finish line. This innovation not only delighted participants but also strengthened relationships with race organizers and sponsors.Tips for Developing Strategic Empathy:Practice active listening by focusing on understanding others' perspectives and needs.Ask clarifying questions to ensure you've captured the essence of what someone is saying.Reflect on feedback and adapt your approach to meet others' expectations.Collaborate with your team to brainstorm and implement solutions that align with stakeholder needs.Continuously evaluate how your actions impact all parties involved.By following Brad's example and advice, you can make strategic empathy a skill.

The stereotype of ‘rock bottom' kept me drinking. I believed the lie that if my drinking didn't look like a dire stereotype then I did not qualify for sobriety. This lie stopped me from seeing what alcohol had already taken from my life. Today we'll talk through chapter six of my book The Sober Shift, where I'll help you reframe the concept of ‘rock bottom' so that you can find a softer place to land.

In this episode of Superpowers for Good, Julie Colombino-Billingham, Founder and CEO of Deux Mains, an affordable luxury goods company manufacturing ethical products in Haiti, shares her inspiring story. Julie's work demonstrates how business can be a force for good, especially in one of the most economically challenged countries in the Western Hemisphere.Julie didn't arrive in Haiti to start a business. After the devastating 2010 earthquake, she deployed as a trained disaster responder to help with relief efforts. What began as a short-term mission turned into a life-changing journey. “The women of Haiti were so strong, so brave, and so courageous,” Julie explained. “I really just wanted to be like them…I ended up staying and living there for five years and starting this business.”Deux Mains, which means “two hands” in French, is a testament to the power of collaboration and perseverance. The company manufactures luxury handbags, wallets, and other leather goods using deadstock leather and materials from responsible tanneries. These products, crafted by Haitian artisans earning a fair wage, are now sold in major retailers like Nordstrom and Kohl's. Despite the country's instability, Deux Mains continues to thrive. “The business is not only growing but flourishing under the leadership of my Haitian colleagues,” Julie said.Beyond exporting chic handbags, Deux Mains has a significant local impact. Last year, they manufactured and distributed 10,000 pairs of leather school shoes for Haitian children. The factory, powered entirely by solar energy, employs 45 full-time staff and serves as a model for sustainable development in Haiti.Julie's story is one of transformation—both personal and collective. Her journey highlights how listening to the needs of a community can inspire lasting change. “A woman said to me, ‘Hey, white lady, I don't want water. I need a job,'” Julie recalled. That moment shifted her perspective from short-term aid to creating long-term economic opportunities.Deux Mains proves that ethical fashion can make a global impact while empowering local communities. Julie's vision serves as a powerful reminder that meaningful change begins when we listen, act with purpose, and invest in people.tl;dr:Julie Colombino-Billingham founded Deux Mains after witnessing Haiti's resilience following the 2010 earthquake.Deux Mains creates ethical, sustainable luxury goods while employing Haitian artisans earning a living wage.The company's solar-powered factory produces products sold globally, including in Nordstrom and Kohl's.Julie credits her success to listening deeply to community needs, focusing on long-term economic impact.The episode highlights Julie's superpower of listening, offering actionable tips for cultivating this skill.How to Develop Deep Listening As a SuperpowerJulie's superpower is her ability to listen deeply and empathetically, enabling her to understand and act on the real needs of others. Reflecting on her early days in Haiti, she shared a pivotal moment: “A woman said to me, ‘Hey, white lady, I don't want any water. I need a job.'” That simple yet profound statement transformed Julie's approach, shifting her focus from short-term disaster relief to launching Deux Mains, a business creating sustainable jobs for Haitians. Listening, as Julie explained, “revolutionized my experience and my participation.”Julie shared a story that exemplifies her superpower in action. Early in her time in Haiti, she grew frustrated with the mess in the factory, asking, “Why is everything always a mess here?” Her Haitian business partner, Jolina, calmly replied, “We don't have any garbage cans.” This moment reminded Julie to step outside her own frame of reference and truly listen to her colleagues. By addressing such a simple, overlooked need, she cultivated a culture of collaboration and respect that continues to define Deux Mains.Tips for Developing Deep Listening:Believe that everyone in the room has valuable insights to contribute.Step outside your own perspective to understand others' realities.Ask open-ended questions to uncover underlying needs and concerns.Build trust by acting on the feedback you receive.Practice humility when faced with solutions that challenge your assumptions.By following Julie's example and advice, you can make deep listening a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

This week's Drum Panel features myself (Ben Hilzinger) alongside Eric Urrea (Marina City) and Gunnar Olsen (Puscifer) aka **The Dream Team** We talk about: The specific tools we each use to stay on top of gigs, holds, and payments The not-so-obvious challenges of over-scheduling and saying “yes” to everything Gunnar's hot take on whether live percussionists should be allowed cymbals How double-drummer bands actually work, including famous examples and personal wish lists The real anxieties and logistics behind committing to tours vs. staying available for “dream” gigs or family Practical advice for 22-year-old drummers moving to new cities—and why being physically local still matters for working players Social media as a calling card: when it helps, when it's oversaturated, and how to post for the gigs you want --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today

During today's episode, Richard explained his compelling vision for a community built on intentional mutual benefit—a concept that resonates deeply with me.Richard's new book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, is the culmination of over two decades of work, blending personal experience, community organizing, and a belief in the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. He challenges the idea that we are separate, saying, “We're actually all connected…within our families, neighborhoods, local communities, nations, and worldwide.”This intentional mutual benefit, as Richard describes it, is a culture where every action, thought, and decision considers its impact on others. It's about making connection a core value, from small personal interactions to global systems. Richard explained, “Symbiotic culture…is a culture in which intentional mutual benefit between human beings and with nature becomes the norm at all scales.”He draws from practical experience, sharing stories of community transformation. Richard recounted his involvement in initiatives like the Nevada Micro-Enterprise Initiative, which provided low-income entrepreneurs with seed funding, mentorship, and technical assistance. These efforts exemplify his belief that mutual benefit can underpin economic and social systems, creating a “virtuous economy.”This vision aligns beautifully with the principles of impact crowdfunding, where investors and entrepreneurs unite to create positive change. Richard's work shows how embedding intentional mutual benefit into our economy has the power to transform not only individual lives but entire communities.Richard's book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, offers a roadmap for rebuilding our culture with love and connection at its heart. As he said, “When we engage the world, we are coming from that deeper connected perspective.”For those interested in this vision, Richard's book is available at richardflyer.com. By embracing his ideas, we can take steps toward realizing this symbiotic age together.tl;dr:Richard Flyer shares a 20-year journey to create a symbiotic culture of intentional mutual benefit.He explains how his book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, challenges the myth of separation in society.Richard highlights community-building efforts, including crime reduction and micro-financing initiatives.He describes his superpower: recognizing the intrinsic divinity or goodness in every individual.Richard provides actionable advice for fostering connection and building a culture of mutual benefit.How to Develop Recognizing the Divinity in Others As a SuperpowerRichard's superpower is the ability to see the divinity—or intrinsic goodness—in everyone. He explained, “The superpower is to see the truth that we're all made in the image of God…underneath all of the apparent polarization.” This perspective allows him to bridge divides and unite communities, focusing on the shared humanity that connects us all. Richard emphasized that this principle applies universally, regardless of one's spiritual or secular beliefs, making it a powerful tool for fostering connection and collaboration.Richard shared a transformative story of overcoming his personal biases to unite his community. In Reno, Nevada, he recognized his antipathy toward religious organizations was limiting his ability to include them in community-building efforts. To address this, he spent a year visiting various religious and spiritual groups, from Christian churches to Buddhist sanghas. This experience helped him see individuals beyond their labels, fostering greater understanding and collaboration. This shift enabled him to unite diverse groups to address shared challenges.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Attend events hosted by organizations or people you may disagree with to foster understanding.Practice small, intentional acts of kindness, such as holding the door open for others.Consciously remind yourself of the shared humanity in everyone, even those with opposing views.Reflect on personal biases and take steps to overcome them for greater connection.By following Richard's example and advice, you can make recognizing the divinity in others a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

It integrates insights from community development, economics, spirituality and faith traditions, and living systems to help people move beyond polarization toward shared purpose and practical collaboration. Rather than advancing ideology or top-down solutions, Symbiotic Culture emphasizes connecting the good already present in local communities—linking people, initiatives, and institutions so they can work together more effectively through shared values and virtues such as trust, mutual responsibility, and care. The work holds that lasting social renewal is both practical and spiritual, beginning not with systems alone but with people learning how to live, work, and solve problems together in meaningful ways.Website: richardflyer.comBiographical Information: Richard Flyer is an author, community-builder, and faith-rooted cultural strategist whose life's work bridges science, spirituality, and civic renewal. Trained as a biologist, he studied pilot whale and dolphin communication at UC Santa Cruz and San Diego State before earning an M.S. in Biology. His grounding in living systems science later became the foundation for Symbiotic Culture—a framework that integrates spiritual insight with practical tools for regenerative community life.Richard's career spans health, education, and grassroots leadership. He pioneered hyperbaric oxygen therapy programs in Nevada hospitals, taught in community colleges and detention facilities, and led nonprofits including the San Diego Food Bank, Neighbors United, and the Nevada Microenterprise Initiative. Internationally, he served with Sri Lanka's Sarvodaya Shramadana movement, supporting a national network of over 5,000 communities. His work draws inspiration from Jesus and the early church, Gandhi's village republics, and Václav Benda's idea of the Parallel Polis.For Richard, following Jesus is not about dogma, but about daily practice—learning to embody love, reconciliation, hospitality, and neighborliness in a divided world. He sees in Jesus not only the center of his faith, but a bridge across traditions, calling people into deeper connection and shared responsibility.Today, through Symbiotic Culture, Richard mentors leaders across faith, civic, and cultural spheres. In Birthing the Symbiotic Age, he offers a vision for a Global Commonwealth of 50,000 empowered communities—a parallel society rooted in love, justice, and mutual flourishing. He lives on O‘ahu, Hawaii with his wife Marta, drawing renewal from the islands, time with family, and the simple joy of Connecting the Good wherever he goes.LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/richard-flyer-6820727Personal Twitter Handle: @Richard_Flyer Personal Facebook Profile: facebook.com/richard.flyerInstagram Handle: @richard.flyerSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Real Sober Mom Sarah grew up in Germany on a US military base where alcohol was such a way of life that her first drink was at thirteen years old at a restaurant with her family. As a mom, alcohol came in and out of her life but it wasn't until her kids were a bit older that it began to have a hold on her. Once she realized she was drinking every day, she began to worry - had her drinking gone too far? She began to take sobriety one day at a time. With community support in Fresh 30 and The Sober Mom Life Cafe, she has now been sober since late 2024! Community makes all the difference.

Today I'll walk you through chapter 4 of my book The Sober Shift where we'll step back from romanticizing alcohol so that we can take a clear look at the real role that drinking plays in your life. I call this facing ‘the mold in the basement'. In order to be honest about alcohol, we have to face our stories about alcohol that we've avoided facing for so long. This part is challenging, but you can do this, and community can make all the difference.

What if the leadership practices that once kept schools running are now holding them back? In this episode of Change Starts Here, host Dustin Odham sits down with David Kasperson, co-author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Trust & Inspire and Director of Speaking & Business Development at FranklinCovey, to challenge the deeply rooted belief that control drives results.Together, they explore why traditional, compliance-driven leadership is reaching its breaking point in today's schools—and how shifting to a Trust & Inspire model can unlock the latent potential of educators and students alike. Kasperson reframes trust not as a “soft” idea, but as rocket fuel for innovation, engagement, and performance.Listeners will gain practical insights into the three stewardships of leadership—modeling, trusting, and inspiring—and learn how to rebuild trust, even after it's been damaged. This conversation is a call to action for K–12 leaders ready to move beyond managing tasks and start leading people with belief, purpose, and stewardship.Get Your Copy of Trust & Inspire:https://store.leaderinme.com/products/trust-and-inspire-book-hardcover Host:Dustin Odham, Managing Director with FranklinCovey EducationGuest:David Kasperson, Co-author of Trust & Inspire and Director of Speaking & Business Development at FranklinCoveyTimestamps: (00:00 - 01:18) Episode introduction (01:18 - 03:04) David's leadership journey (03:04 - 04:47) Why trust matters now (04:47 - 07:19) Measuring trust vs. engagement (07:19 - 09:11) Speed as a differentiator (09:11 - 11:07) Management vs. leadership paradigms (11:07 - 14:13) Moving beyond compliance (14:13 - 17:09) Barriers to trust (17:09 - 19:56) Tapping into inspiration (19:56 - 24:11) High expectations, not micromanagement (24:11 - 30:37) Steps to rebuild trust (30:37 - 36:23) Stewardship for the person (36:23 - 42:38) Love in the classroom (42:38 - 44:13) Leading through potential (44:13 - 46:05) Overcoming leadership frustration (46:05 - 50:00) Outro and resources

This week Suzanne and Katie break apart what Suzanne considers a ‘masterpiece': the latest episode of Real Housewives of Salt Lake city, Sisters of Salt. We'll get into how the cast's ability (or inability) to have challenging conversations majorly shapes the narratives of the show. Then, we'll explore the nature of flaunting wealth within these women's lives, and how for some it serves as a major veneer for their insecurities. Finally - is Meredith okay, and does substance abuse play a role in her challenges? Community makes all the difference.

Aquinas is the great synthesizer of the natural law, but who exactly is he drawing from? Today, Dr. Randall Smith joins Ben Eriksen to discuss the various philosophers and theologians who influenced Aquinas' thought. Dr. Smith argues that Aristotle did not greatly influence Aquinas' conception of the natural law; instead, he believes that Cicero, Maimonides, and Philo of Alexandria were more pivotal. This enlightening conversation reveals the great depth of the natural law tradition and how we can contribute to this tradition in the modern era.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. This week's Drum Panel features me, Ben Hilzinger, alongside George Martinez (aka @skinnygeorge) and Eric Urrea from Marina City. We talk honestly about rejection, identity, and what actually gets built in the moments when things don't go your way. In this episode, we talk about: Rejection as a mirror, not a verdict, and how quickly one “no” can distort your self-image The danger of ruminating on tiny moments, and how over-analyzing the past steals energy from the present Why authenticity matters more than perfection, and how trying to manage how others see you leads to bad fits The hidden value of “failed” prep, and how deep study always compounds even when the gig disappears The emotional difference between ego pain and income fear, and how each one shapes your reactions Balancing confidence and self-doubt, and why artists need both to stay sharp and grounded How unclear communication creates unnecessary emotional weight, and what that reveals about professional culture Why creative freedom often shows up disguised as disappointment New Year's intentions around health, connection, communication, and long-term sustainability Letting go of shame around how you work, and learning to build systems that actually fit you --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today

Certified parenting coach and the co-founder of Guardian Recovery Keesha Scott joins me today to share how her 23 years of sobriety have impacted her life, both personally and as a parent. For Keesha, sobriety opened up a path for her to finally feel her feelings. After over two decades of sobriety, she could never imagine wanting to hide from her feelings again. This ability to stare directly at the fear and insecurities that naturally arise in life has allowed her to show up in immense ways for both her family, her clients, and a wide community of people in the midst of their own recovery through Guardian Recovery.

Mommy Wine Culture is a trend manufactured in boardrooms by Big Alcohol. I explore this deeply in the second chapter of my book, The Sober Shift, and today on The Weekend Reset I'll give you an overview of what I found in my research so that you can clearly see how we as moms have been manipulated to believe that alcohol could ‘help' us with motherhood. Alcohol was never here to help us. It was here to get us addicted in order to grow Big Alcohol's profits. Once you see this, it is so much easier to say goodbye to alcohol for good.

So today, I'm here with some perspective on how you can protect your peace - even if it means saying no.
