Welcome back to The Brand Is You Podcast! In today's episode, I'm walking you through one of the most game-changing tools I teach inside InstaSuccess: your Golden Thread.

If you feel like you're constantly reinventing your brand, launching random offers, or getting ghosted after putting out heartfelt content — this episode is for you. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: ✔️ Why inspired content isn't enough if it's not connected ✔️ What resonance really means (and how to create it) ✔️ The 3 questions that will help you uncover your golden thread ✔️ Real client examples of how one message can unify everything ✔️ How repetition creates recognition, trust, and brand power ✔️ Why your golden thread should be 3–5 words — and used everywhere RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS:

“If I go to the good Hopi Indian quote, ‘We don't inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' I sit in reflection of that and I hope the future generations will lead with heart and they'll be guided by the values that built this legacy to date. That they honor the past by innovating with purpose and with integrity. Everybody's always got to remember that stewardship is a sacred trust, and one that turns heritage into hope.”We're in great company with Shan and Bronwyn Varty, the mother and daughter duo behind Londolozi, who, with their family's one hundred years of history, are pioneering one of South Africa's original private game reserves as a living model of conservation development. Here, they are nurturing a Futuristic African Village, a prototype for village consciousness where wild animals and people alike, live together in dignity and harmony, with each other and the land. It is with an abundance mindset that they have chosen to share this land and legacy with worldly guests, committing to excellence in ecotourism with their accredited Relais & Châteaux status. In celebration of Mother's Day, in this episode, Shan and Bron paint for us a picture of luxury in its purest form—with time as the artist, the senses as the medium, and Mother Nature as the muse. Top Takeaways[2:10] With 100 years of family history living on this land, the Varty's roots run deep and strong as they grow and evolve with their environment.[4:50] The name Londolozi is Zulu for ‘Protector Of All Living Things,' reflecting their ambitious conservation ethic in stewarding our human relationship with the natural world. [7:00] They say “it takes a village to raise a child,” and there is sincere truth in that there is a power of resilience in community, as both Shan and Bron learned early on. [12:30] “When you live in nature, you live in an ecosystem of connection, not comparison.”[15:15] How meditative design is a way of practicing presence, learning to get out of the way and allow nature to lead, creating a sense of place that meets you where you are. [20:00] Londolozi's Camps are a collection woven together with a “Golden Thread”—each with their own significance, but all along a journey through legacy and luxury. [29:15] The Varty's are proud “Artists of Experiences”—curating luxury safaris for every chapter of life—from first-time safaris to multigenerational family trips, from honeymoons to wellness, with photography and more in store,[36:40] The “Ripple Effect” stands for Restoration, Innovation, Protection, People, Leadership, Education.[41:00] Rather than creating something new, Shan and Bron are celebrating 100 years of history by bringing back the old, polishing and preserving along the way.[46:15] Mother Nature's wisdom is in embracing a state of flow that changes with the seasons—recognizing that mothering is not something that is done, it is something that is felt—and can only be done so by slowing down. Notable MentionsNelson MandelaMaya AngelouThe Leopards of LondoloziPeter Reed LinensLand RoverSesaties, South African Kebabs Good Work FoundationTracker Academy Healing HouseVisit For YourselfLondolozi Website | @londoloziImages courtesy of Londolozi Game Reserve

Send us a textNiccolo Machiavelli is often held up as the paradigmatic political philosopher of the Italian Renaissance. But as James Hankins argued in an earlier book, Virtue Politics, Machiavelli in fact repudiates the framework common to many of the humanists of the Renaissance. Machiavelli is an outlier. Who then can replace him as the Renaissance's paradigmatic political philosopher? In his new book, Political Meritocracy in Renaissance Italy, Hankins proposes the little-known Francesco Patrizi, friend and protege of Pope Pius II, as Machiavelli's replacement. Hankins joins the show to make his case for Patrizi as emblematic of Renaissance political philosophy and to explain some aspects of Patrizi's life and thought.James Hankins's Political Meritocracy in Renaissance Italy: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780674274709James Hankins's Virtue Politics: https://amzn.to/4d0f0buAdrian Wooldridge's Aristocracy of Talent: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9781510775558The Patrizi Project: https://patrizisiena.hsites.harvard.edu/Nate Fischer's Meritocracy Must Not Be Our Goal: https://americanmind.org/salvo/meritocracy-must-not-be-our-goal/James Hankins and Allen Guelzo's The Golden Thread: https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Thread-Ancient-World-Christendom/dp/1641773995New Humanists is brought to you by the Ancient Language Institute: https://ancientlanguage.com/Links may have referral codes, which earn us a commission at no additional cost to you.

Welcome back to City Road. In this episode, we reflect on 2024's Festival of 'Public' Urbanism and its panel discussion on how the public life of great cities takes place in our cultural buildings and civic spaces – from libraries to museums, town halls, streets, parks and playgrounds. This special Denis Winston memorial lecture, delivered by Dr Caroline Butler-Bowdon, State Librarian and award-winning author and curator, celebrates our crucial public infrastructure as the cornerstone of public and democratic life. The keynote address is followed by an eminent panel conversation between Dr Rob Stokes, former Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, and Professor Jennifer Barrett, Professor in Museum Studies and Pro-Vice Chancellor Indigenous at the University of Sydney. The annual Festival of Urbanism is brought to you by the Henry Halloran Research Trust with the assistance of the University of Sydney School of Architecture Design and Planning.

In this episode of Unearthed, hosts John Reade and Joseph Cavatoni, Senior Market Strategists at the World Gold Council, welcome George Cheveley, Portfolio Manager at Ninety One, for an insightful look into the dynamics of the gold mining equities market. With gold hitting record highs throughout 2024 and again this year, they dig into why mining stocks haven't kept pace and what's driving the disconnect. George shares how investors should think about mining companies today, what factors influence their performance – from cost pressures to growth metrics – and how sentiment is starting to shift from earnings to value. The conversation also covers what kind of growth matters most to investors and how to think about mining equities in the context of broader portfolio decisions.

The management of the industry has changed, and part of that is because of the circumstances that they went through in the last cycle.”    – John Reade  “ I think my own view is we're never going to end up with too few gold companies because every day there's people starting up junior gold companies. There's always somebody trying. I do think we probably could do with a bit more consolidation at the moment, but I also readily agree it's very hard to do.”    – George Cheveley    “I think time and timing is one of the big challenges and when we're feeling sorry for ourselves as fund managers. You know, sometimes we sit around and we say. The real problem with this job is we're talking to companies who are talking in decades and we're trying to service our clients who are talking in quarters, and we're trying to cover that spread, and it's pretty hard at times."    – George Cheveley     About World Gold Council We are a membership organisation that champions the role gold plays as a strategic asset, shaping the future of a responsible and accessible gold supply chain.

This month's guest is Civic Engineers associate director Sam Harland who talks to host Rob Hakimian about the Building Safety Act 2022 and how it is changing the way that engineers are working. They talk about how it has introduced new processes, particularly for structural engineers like Harland, with the tightening of design competency requirements, the introduction of the gateway process and the creation of the Golden Thread for buildings. The discussion particularly focuses on what this means for works on existing buildings and how engineers now have to carry out extensive investigations to uncover their structural health and history. Harland also provides insight on how implementation of the Act has been difficult and how it might drive the future of the sector. Prior to the interview portion, Rob is joined by NCE senior reporters Thomas Johnson and Tom Pashby to discuss some of the reporting they have been doing on the Havant Thicket Reservoir, water quality in the River Thames and the protracted consenting process for the Aquind Interconnector.  

Welcome back to The Brand Is You Podcast! Today, we're tackling one of the most frustrating struggles for entrepreneurs and creatives—branding yourself. It sounds like it should be easy, right? You are your brand. But when it comes to actually putting your message into words, defining your unique edge, and showing up consistently, things suddenly feel complicated. If you've ever overthought your brand message, felt too close to your own genius, or struggled to pinpoint what makes you stand out, this episode is for you. Branding yourself as yourself is tricky—but it doesn't have to be. I'm breaking down exactly why it feels so hard and giving you three simple strategies to make it a whole lot easier. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✔️ Why branding yourself is so much harder than branding someone else ✔️ The three biggest challenges that hold entrepreneurs back from branding themselves ✔️ How to get clarity on your unique edge without overthinking it ✔️ The power of a Golden Thread (and why it makes branding feel effortless) ✔️ Why focusing on how you make people feel is the key to building an unforgettable brand Branding yourself isn't about being perfect—it's about being clear, consistent, and confident. And I promise, once you apply these three strategies, showing up as your brand will feel so much easier. Resources & Next Steps:

Project management is more than just schedules and deadlines—it's a powerful force for driving change across industries. In this episode, we welcome Professor Adam Boddison, Chief Executive of the Association for Project Management (APM) who talks about APM's Golden Thread research, conducted by PwC. He offers valuable perspectives on the skills that are essential for success, as well as strategies for breaking down common stereotypes about project managers.

We close out our prophetic dream about the "Golden Thread" and how we must cast our cares upon the Lord in order to turn the corner.  The Lord desires us to have faith in Him to deal with the issues of life so that we can move into the next realm of Glory.

Lupoff, recorded in the KPFA studios, May 7, 1992 while on tour for his novel, “Fire Upon the Deep,” which would be a co-winner of the Huge Award for Best Novel at the 1993 World Science Fiction Convention. ​​​​​Vernor Vinge, who died on March 20th, 2024 at the age of 79 was one of the masters of late twentieth century and early 21st century science fiction. He won five Hugo Awards, three for Best Novel and two for best novella, and is credited as the first science fiction writer to offer a fictional cyberspace, a few years before William Gibson and Neal Stephenson. Over all, Vernor Vinge wrote eight novels and had five published collections of his writings. His final novel, The Children of the Sky, was published in 2011. A prequel to Fire Upon the Deep titled A Deepness in the Sky, was published in 1999, and a sequel, The Children of the Sky, his last novel, was published in 2011. To date, none of his stories have been adapted for either television or film. Vernor Vince retired from teaching in 2000 to become a full-time writer. In this interview, he goes into detail about what are now the early days of life on the internet, and discusses his early writing about cyberspace, and about singularities. There are also comments about what the future holds, a future we now are experiencing. This interview has not aired in over thirty years, and was digitized, remastered and edited in January 2025 by Richard Wolinsky. Complete Interview.   Margaret Atwood Margaret Atwood 2013.

This recording is a transmission done right outside the Osirion in Abydos during a sacred site visit to Egypt. The Osirion is a chamber over 9000 years old dedicated to Osiris.  The transmission was done outside at dusk right at the same time as evening prayers. The unique guidance in this transmission is that the energies from the Higher Beings engraved the central channel very slowly with symbols and hieroglyphs.  An inner engraving was also done on the central line of the central channel which is also referred to as the Golden Thread.  This transmission was meant to slowly and methodically build the central channel much like the high quality of the hieroglyphs found in the Abydos Temple created by Seti I.  You can repeat this transmission over many times to fully build the central channel with this symbolic engraving process going further down the central channel each time you do it. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gene-ang/support

What do you wish I asked this guest? What was your "quotable moment" from this episode? Have you ever wondered how one can balance the mystical with the mundane? Molly from SoulPod joins us to share her unique journey, blending her life as a practicing witch with her day job as an accounting professional. We hear about her passion for tarot and life coaching through her platform, The High Priestess Coaching. Molly gives insight into honoring nature, the seasons, and oneself through her magical practices, even while coming from a Christian family background. Her story offers a fresh perspective on embracing one's identity and the subtle magic found in everyday life.What drives someone to dive deep into witchcraft and maintain self-compassion amid the challenges? Molly opens up about her battles with imposter syndrome and the constant yearning to do more. She shares strategies on managing these feelings and talks about the gratifying moments when her practices yield positive results for herself and others. Not to mention, we explore her favorite tools, including the Golden Thread and plasticized Rider-Waite-Smith tarot decks, which add a layer of connection and comfort to her craft.Pets often hold a special place in our hearts, and Molly's story about her cat Nigel highlights this deep emotional bond. We discuss the significance of embracing mistakes in one's practice and offer advice to new practitioners to seek knowledge bravely. With upcoming potential guests like author Bakara Wintner and a friend who leads full moon rituals, we promise more intriguing content.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 17th of September, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start off in the Book of Deuteronomy 16:13: “You shall observe the Feast of Tabernacles seven days, when you have gathered from your threshing floor and from your winepress.” The Feast of Tabernacles (it is also called Sukkot), is the time when the Israeli people celebrate what God has done in their lives. They build a little booth, which they call a sukkot, and that is where they spend time talking about the goodness of God. They decorate it with grapes, figs, olives and dates. They hang them in bunches all around this little building, and then for seven days, they go during the day and they sit in that little place, and they remember how God delivered them from Pharaoh, from Egypt, took them through the wilderness for forty years, and brought them into the Land of Milk and Honey, when they crossed the Jordan River. They sit and they tell their children, and they tell their grandchildren those stories, how God has protected them. They build up their faith. I believe that the strength of the Israeli nation is found in the fact that they continue to remember their past. If you have written a book, I have written a few, and you have no before-time and you just start writing, it doesn't make sense. You have got to tell the people where you are coming from. The dictionary says that the word, “prologue” means “introductory scene to a play” or in my case, to a story - what happened before. And that is the strength of the Israeli nation. They continue to tell their children and their children's children how God has undertaken for them. I want to tell you, I have got a story, and it started on the 18th of February, 1979 at about 10 a.m., in a little Methodist church in the Main Street of Greytown, our little town that is 15 kilometres away. That day, I met Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour, and as they say, the rest after that is history, but it started many, many years before, and we have been through many hardships since. Yes, we have experienced droughts, fires, floods, disease, hardship, and personal tragedy, but Jesus Christ has been the Golden Thread that has held us together for 45 years on this farm, Shalom. You need to tell your story to your children. You need to tell them how you met Christ. You need to tell your friends at school how you have come into a relationship with God. That is what it is all about. Don't forget the Feast of Tabernacles, seven days when the whole of Israel comes to a standstill and they remember where God has brought them from. You do the same!Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Discover how to resolve past trauma and traumatic memories so you can heal from your past.This is part three of our five-part series on managing anxiety using Wu Wei Wisdom techniques.We explore anxiety caused by traumatic memories and how you can overcome this. Traumatic memories can be deeply impactful, but with the right approach, you can move forward.Traumatic memories are not just about the events that happened; they are about the long-term beliefs, patterns of thinking and emotional feelings we create in response to those events. It's essential to differentiate between the event itself and the beliefs and thoughts we associate with it. This confusion often leads to a cycle of anxiety and distress.Healing from traumatic memories is a journey that requires understanding, compassion, and accountability. By separating the event from the legacy of beliefs, thoughts and emotions it creates, using the Golden Thread process, reparenting your Inner Child, you can let go of past trauma and move forward with confidence.With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).Discover our online consultations, events and shop: https://www.wuweiwisdom.comOther related teachings on our YouTube channel that will help you:THE GOLDEN THREAD PROCESS PLAYLIST https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zIAsS_wgdRN7QGBKIk54sbyDHow to Master Your Emotions https://youtu.be/EQqGDnER3mA?si=_sOk33_9iBccrv88Is Your Fearful Inner Child Controlling You? https://youtu.be/lqXcajyPIDQ?si=wf6CiO6NjcOcJDDDHow to Control Your Emotional Triggers https://youtu.be/b6rhyu7WISQ?si=y8SPST6BJWvEcNcoJoin our free Wu Wei Wisdom Community Facebook support group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wuweiwisdomcommunity  Book an online Golden Thread Process & Inner Child Consultation with David: https://www.wuweiwisdom.com/therapies-for-body-mind/ Follow us on Instagram: @wuweiwisdomSign up to receive a relaxing guided meditation gift, plus our weekly newsletter + offers via email: https://www.wuweiwisdom.com/signup​ -Disclaimer: This podcast and any associated teaching and comments shared are not a substitute for professional therapy, mental health care, crisis support, medical advice, doctor diagnosis, or professional healthcare treatment.

In this episode, we'll explore how cloth is made, the journey from fiber to fabric, and how that influences how clothes are made. As we trace the history of clothing, we'll discover how this… technology, really, has influenced just about every part of our lives. This was the wormhole that led me to create my soft work intuitive garment design course (my plan was to more deeply study how clothing was made throughout time to connect it to how we can more easily make clothes in the current age and… what I ending up doing was studying everything from agriculture to mythology to pottery) but there's so much interesting history that got left out that I wanted to share it here.**note: it was not my intention to have this podcast go out on a Friday night, but a series of... surprises delayed the publishing of this episode - I hope you're able to enjoy it on your long weekend!**Mentioned in this episode: FREE live class: 6 Secrets to Simple and Stylish SewingSoft Work: Intuitive Garment Design CourseKassia St. Clair's "The Golden Thread"E.W.

As we continue to dive deeper into our spiritual learnings and epiphanies, we wanted to record this episode to expand on some of the topics we've discussed in previous episodes but bring a central concept to the forefront: following your golden thread.  In WTHN, we teach our students how to audit their lives and their core values and realignment naturally follows, removing what is now misaligned through this process. One of the hardest parts of achieving your greatest success is understanding your current sacrifice, seeing and comparing what others are doing whether in life or in business, and still doing what's required of you in this season to reach YOUR goals. We'll talk about both of our perspectives in this area along with how listening to your intuition is the everlasting link to God or source.   ---------------------   Rate, Review, and Follow on Apple Podcasts   “I love these conversations!” If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing the show.

The Consumer Behaviour Book: Exploring The Reasons Why Emotions Are So Important In Decision Making by Anthony “Tas” Tasgal  ABOUT THE BOOK: Neoclassical economics assumes that most people have well-defined preferences and make well-informed, self-interested decisions based on those preferences.  But in the real world, this is often not the case.  The Consumer Behaviour Book combines elements of economics and psychology to help you understand how and why consumers behave the way they do. Using behavioral economics as the foundation, the author explains the anomalies in consumer choices and what influences human behavior, preferences, and decision-making.   Often the case, emotional as well as economic factors play a vital role in consumer behavior.  Therefore, behavioral economics can be an important aid to business and marketing strategies by understanding how consumer decisions can be influenced. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Anthony “Tas” Tasgal is a man of many lanyards: trainer, author, TEDx speaker, brand and communications strategist, and lecturer.  His area of expertise includes storytelling, insights, and behavioral economics.  He is a Course Director for several organizations including the Chartered Institute of Marketing, the Market Research Society, and the Institute of Internal Communication, and he runs The Guardian masterclass on “Harnessing The Power Of Storytelling.”  He is the author of several books including the award-winning The Storytelling Book: Finding the Golden Thread in Your Communications, and The Insight Book: Enhancing Your Creativity By Learning To See Things Differently which was featured on episode 448 of The Marketing Book Podcast in 2023. And, interesting fact – he is the last British author who will be interviewed on The Marketing Book Podcast.

Kyra Finley is a writer, poet, mystic, astrologer, and artist who desires to create art and experiences that will alchemize the pain of the past and the promise of the future for those she touches. She is a survivor/thriver of extended trauma, specifically narcissism, and believes that healing and integration are not only possible but inevitable if we are willing to go into the pain and open our hearts to loving all of life, even the parts we wish weren't there. She's been on a lifelong journey of liberation, self-discovery, and freedom, and she's excited to share the nuggets she's learning, along with the tools and modalities that helped her get through some of the darkest days. You can find Kyra on Facebook and instagram @kyra.finley.creates. Kyra also offers astrology and gene key readings where she helps people discover their original blueprint (astrology) as well as intentionally working with their shadows to alchemize them into their unique genius (gene keys). Click here for the link or find it in her instagram bio! Be sure to look out for her new Podcast "Golden Thread" that will explore all things mystical and the stories that weave us together.
