Podcasts about going beyond

God is calling his followers into the world to serve in the dark places where light and hope are needed most. This week, Charles Tapp examines just how powerful the gospel really can be when the church becomes determined, not just to tell people about it, but to show it to them as well. As he continues with the fourth part in this series, "Going Beyond the Walls," with his message "Show and Tell."

**This conversation is all about psilocybin-assisted therapy, but it is not medical advice. Psilocybin is not appropriate for everyone, laws vary by location, and anyone interested in this work should seek support only from qualified professionals in legal, regulated settings.**In this episode of The Mental Training Lab, I sit down with Adam O'Neil, a Boulder-based licensed psychologist and clinical psilocybin facilitator working at the intersection of mental health, performance psychology, and natural medicine.Adam brings a rare combination of rigor and heart to this conversation. We talk about the importance of comprehensive psychological assessment, the structure of psilocybin-assisted therapy, and why preparation, facilitation, and integration matter just as much as the journey itself. We also explore how plant medicine, when approached responsibly, can help people encounter deeper layers of identity, trauma, shame, avoidance, and pressure that traditional mental skills training may not fully reach.You'll learn about the role of acceptance, surrender, ancestral wisdom, and cultural humility in this work. And why athletes and high performers may be drawn to deeper healing beyond optimization. Whether or not psilocybin is part of your path, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that performance is not separate from wholeness, and that sometimes the next level of growth requires us to stop fixing ourselves and start meeting ourselves more honestly.Learn more about Adam's work and The Clearing healing center here: www.theclearingboulder.comSign up for The Deeper Game of Coaching Summer Cohort - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Learn more about The Mental Training LabConnect with Pete on Instagram | LinkedIn | WebsiteSubscribe to the podcast on Apple | SpotifyThis show is produced and edited by the team at Palm Tree Pod Co.

In this episode of Skip the Queue, guest host Olly Reed from Navigate is joined by Rob Comley of Chester Zoo and Simon Townsend of the Eden Project to discuss the growing impact of weather forecasting apps on visitor attractions. They discuss how simple weather icons can influence consumer behaviour, with misleading rain forecasts causing significant drops in attendance even when poor weather never materialises. Rob shares the story behind Chester Zoo's campaign calling for improvements to how weather forecasts are displayed, a movement now supported by more than 100 attractions and businesses across the UK. They discuss changing visitor behaviour, the importance of value for money, the rise of last-minute booking habits, and the role weather perception plays in decision-making. The episode also looks ahead to the campaign's upcoming discussions with the Met Office and highlights exciting developments at Chester Zoo and the Eden Project.

Jesus calls his followers the salt and light of the earth. This week, Charles Tapp reveals what this means, and what will happen if we lose our light or saltiness, as he continues with the third part in this series "Going Beyond The Walls" with his message "No Strings Attached."

In July 2022, 18-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla drove her car into a brick wall at nearly 100 miles per hour, killing her boyfriend Dominic Russo and his best friend Davion Flanagan. What looked like a drug-fueled accident unraveled fast, and the Netflix documentary only tells part of the story. This week, we go deeper: the details left on the cutting room floor, the recorded prison call that changed everything, and the question that still doesn't have a straight answer.

Host Jen Barkan talks to Emily Tucker, an award-winning OSC with Robuck Homes, about how she goes beyond traditional lead management by visiting communities, creating successful video content, and building relationships with on-site sales agents and realtors to amplify her builder's brand presence.Housekeeping2026 Online Sales and Marketing Summit - October 1-2, 2026 in Austin, TX - According to Emily, if you're an Online Sales Specialist, you have to go!TITO ShoutoutKelly Ward and Athena Azan with M/I Homes - Internet Sales Team of the Year at the MAME Awards.Key TakeawaysBe the face of your brand, not just a phone answerer: Emily makes monthly on-site visits to each community to create video content that humanizes her as an OSC and builds a personal social media presence alongside the company's corporate accounts. A personal brand reaches people differently than a builder's corporate page alone!You don't need fancy equipment to get started: A phone, an inexpensive tripod, and a lapel mic from Amazon are all Emily uses. The bigger barrier is perfection paralysis - use the mantra "progress over perfection" and just do it, even if early videos are rough.One site visit can fuel weeks of content across multiple channels: A single afternoon on-site can generate a month's worth of video content that can be repurposed across social platforms, text prospecting, emails, and realtor outreach. On-site visits strengthen the OSC-to-sales-agent relationship: Collaborating on videos builds trust and connection with on-site agents. Teaching agents video skills and inviting them to participate turns the visit into a relationship-building moment, not just a content-creation task.Skills CheckPick one community, talk to leadership and/or marketing about how you can create some content. Think about how you could leverage this content across multiple channels - marketing, prospecting, and follow up.

Most affirmations don't work — not because you're doing it wrong, but because they never reach your nervous system.In this episode of The Abundance Frequency, Damian Appleby introduces somatic affirmations — a body-based practice that teaches your nervous system to recognise abundance as a felt reality, not just a thought.You'll discover why speaking affirmations from the mind creates resistance, and how to anchor them in present-moment sensation instead. Using a simple guided somatic practice, you'll find a micro-moment of abundance that already exists in your body — right now — and use it as a living foundation for your affirmations.This is somatic healing for abundance: working from the ground up, through the biology of the nervous system — not from the top down through willpower and repetition.What you'll experience in this episode:— Why standard affirmations bypass the nervous system— A guided practice to find the felt sense of abundance already present in you— How to speak your affirmation from inside the frequency— not toward it— The difference between a somatic affirmation and an ordinary one

There's a moment in travel, maybe you've felt it, when everything shifts. The view is stunning, but that's not what stays with you. It's the feeling. A quiet awakening that expands the world in front of you while something inside you expands, too.On this episode of Speaking of Travel, we step into that space where travel stops being about the plan and becomes a way of seeing and living. It becomes a way of loving the world with more courage and intention.Tenon Tours founder Bryan Lewis understands that shift in a deeply personal way. His story didn't start with meaning but rather with movement. College trips filled with energy and spontaneity. Sun-soaked beaches and fast-paced adventure. Travel as escape. Travel as fun. Until it became something more.A transformative experience in France opened a deeper way of seeing. Then came a journey that changed everything... traveling to Russia to adopt two of his children. Not as a visitor, but as a father stepping into uncertainty, emotion, and connection that needed no translation.Those moments didn't just shape his life, they shaped his purpose.What if travel could do more than show us the world? What if it could soften us and stretch us? What if it could challenge us in ways that bring us closer to each other and to ourselves?This conversation lives in that possibility. It's about letting go of the checklist and choosing connection. It's about releasing the need for perfection and embracing presence. It's about stepping beyond certainty and staying open to curiosity.In Bryan's words, "The most powerful journeys aren't measured. They're felt in the moments that change how you see everything."Thanks for listening to Speaking of Travel!

Reading the Bible is good… but studying it is where transformation happens.In this episode, we're diving into the importance of not just reading Scripture, but truly studying and understanding it. Because it's one thing to see the words on the page—and another to grasp what God is actually saying. Too many believers rely on surface-level reading, which can lead to confusion, misinterpretation, or even applying Scripture incorrectly. But when you learn how to study the Word, it begins to come alive in a whole new way.In this episode, I walk you through:- Why studying Scripture is essential for spiritual growth- How to use simple tools and resources to better understand the Bible- The SOAP Method (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer)- My personal PRAY Method to help you engage with the Word more intentionallyThis is a practical, hands-on episode that will equip you to move from passive reading to active, Spirit-led study.2 Timothy 2:15 (NIV)“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”Enjoyed This Episode or Have Feedback?

"It's not about the rules and formulas—it's about the decisions you make in how you approach a question." Most GMAT candidates start their prep the wrong way: by diving straight into content, formulas, and practice questions. But what if that approach is actually holding you back? In this episode of Inside the GMAT, GMAC Zach sits down with Brian Prestia, founder of Reason Test Prep, to break down what the GMAT is really testing—and why success has far more to do with how you think than what you know. Together, they explore the difference between memorization and reasoning, why "tips and tricks" can be misleading, and how top scorers approach questions with strategy, precision, and creativity. From quant to verbal to data insights, Brian shares how to rethink your prep, avoid common traps, and build the kind of problem-solving skills that drive real score gains. If you've ever felt stuck despite studying hard, this episode will change how you approach the GMAT—and maybe how you think about problem-solving altogether. About Brian: Brian Prestia is the owner of Reason Test Prep and is an elite test-prep veteran with more than 20 years of experience preparing people for the GMAT and other standardized tests. He has scored in the 100th percentile of the GMAT and has tutored nearly 1,000 students from all corners of the globe. Brian has a passion for teaching and especially for getting students to think more critically, problem solve more creatively, and, most importantly, enjoy the lifelong process of learning.

"Tips and tricks" thinking misses the point: Treating the GMAT like a game you can hack leads to shallow understanding. Real improvement comes from developing adaptable thinking skills. Strategy should come before content: Top performers learn how to approach problems first, then layer in content—not the other way around. There is always a definitively correct answer: Even in verbal, answers aren't subjective. If something feels ambiguous, it's a signal to refine your reasoning—not guess. Precision matters more than you think: Success—especially in verbal—comes down to noticing small differences in language and meaning. Data Insights is really a time management test: The challenge isn't just solving problems—it's identifying what matters quickly and ignoring noise. Deliberate practice beats volume: Doing hundreds of questions isn't enough. Improvement comes from deeply analyzing how and why you solved (or missed) each one. You don't always need full math to get the answer: Smart estimation, logic, and elimination can often outperform brute-force calculation.

Lorenzo Gonzalez sits down with Leif Sverre of Island Expeditions for a conversation about going beyond the resorts in Belize, exploring remote islands through kayaking and snorkeling, and what it takes to design better tour experiences. Presented by BELTRAIDE, Belize's national economic development agency.

Balance isn't the goal. Integration is.Not Either/Or but Both/And.If you've ever gone all in on hustle and deep work only to feel isolated, or filled your calendar with people and meetings only to feel scattered and behind - you're not broken, you are human.You're living inside a polarity and treating it like a problem to solve instead of a tension to manage.We walk through Polarity Mapping (also known as polarity management, based on Barry Johnson's method) and show how “both and” thinking creates a more sustainable way to work, lead, and live.Using deep work and solitude versus social connection as the main example, we map the upsides of each side, the unintended negative consequences of overdoing either one, and the warning signs that tell you you're drifting.Then we get concrete: time blocks, batching meetings, proactive relationship touch points, low effort ways to connect, and simple weekly reflection check ins that prevent burnout and resentment before they build.I also invite you to a free live online session called Beyond Balance on Thursday, April 2.It's interactive, not recorded, and you'll get assessments and worksheets so you can build your own polarity map and reuse it for work life integration, leadership, self development, and relationships.Subscribe, share this with a friend who's feeling stuck, trying to navigate competing priorities that are impossible to balance.Join the Workshop - go Beyond Balance - https://untitled-7pu3yin.gamma.site/Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina  Behavior-First, Executive, Leadership and Optimal Performance Coach 360, Change Leadership & Culture Transformation Consultant  

In this episode of Skip the Queue, Andy Povey is joined by Donna Speed, CEO of We The Curious, to explore how curiosity can transform visitor experiences. Following major challenges, including COVID-19 and a devastating fire in 2022, the organisation rebuilt with a strong community-first approach, taking science directly to people through outreach while the venue was closed. The conversation focuses on a shift from traditional, answer-led exhibitions to question-led experiences, highlighted by the “Project What If” exhibition built from over 20,000 public questions. Donna shares how co-creation, inclusivity, and audience-led design are reshaping engagement, and how attractions can balance education and entertainment, remain relevant, and inspire curiosity in new ways. Key Topics Discussed Designing visitor experiences around curiosity rather than content The transformation and rebrand of We The Curious Community-led decision making and co-creation Recovery and resilience after the 2022 fire Outreach strategies during closure and post-pandemic recovery Project What If and question-led exhibition design Differences between interactive science centres and traditional museums Inclusion and representation in science and learning spaces The role of curiosity in lifelong learning Balancing entertainment and education in attractions Building trust and relevance with audiences Collaboration across the attractions and museum sector The evolving role of museums in society Leadership through crisis and change Inspiring future generations through engagement and accessibility   Show references:   Donna Speed - CEO of We The Curious https://wethecurious.org/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/donna-speed-15252916/ https://www.wethecurious.org/news-blog/we-curious-reopening-project-what-if Skip the Queue is brought to you by Merac.

Most conversations about “AI in Medicine” bore me. I think this is because either we lack the imagination to consider how AI will change medicine in the next decade, or we are not being specific enough about how small parts of medicine could be productively affected.Dr. Shantanu Nundy, MD, MBA, is a practicing physician whom I like to think of as a serial innovator. He is currently an advisor on artificial intelligence to the FDA in the Commissioner's Office. He has spent a great deal of time and energy thinking deeply about what AI can bring us today and in the future. I hope you enjoy this conversation. This is a public episode.

Normandy France is often synonymous with the D-Day beaches.And for good reason.But this remarkable region offers far more than its powerful World War II history. In this episode, I invite you to look beyond the shoreline and discover the quieter, richer layers of Normandy that many travelers miss.Alongside reflections on visiting the D-Day beaches — including a deeply moving guided tour that brings the history to life with care, context, and respect — I also share why Normandy's culture and landscapes left such a lasting impression on me. From creamy local cheeses and crisp apples to coastal views and rural countryside dotted with small towns, Normandy is a place that rewards those who slow down and wander a little further.This episode is about honoring history while also embracing the present-day heart of the region — its people, its flavors, and its sense of place. If you're planning a trip to France, or simply curious about what lies beyond the most well-known sites, this episode offers inspiration for traveling through Normandy in a more meaningful, connected way.Want to chat about Normandy, France?Email me at Lynne@WanderYourWay.comIn this episode:1:10: Intro & Updates6:08: Intro to Normandy France6:34: Placing Normandy France on the map8:36: Food of Normandy12:16: Places to visit and stay14:59: D-Day Beaches & surrounding areas24:49: Gold Beach & British War Memorial30:17: Moving inland: Bayeux, Espins, Clécy43:40: Falaise53:06: Final thoughts on Normandy56:57: Listener review + Wrapping it upIn this episode:Normandy France TourismWander Your WayWander Your Way AdventuresOverlord ToursVuoriFalaise CastleFalaise Memorial Museum ★ Support this podcast ★
