Podcasts about Groundwork

Last night's Q and A was such a fun conversation about horse personalities and how to adjust your riding to match the horse you have. Stacie joined us live, which was a treat because many of you know her from the comments section and as a Strides member. We covered everything from reading your horse's natural tendencies to adjusting your own energy and building confidence in both young and experienced horses.Understanding personalitySome horses are hot, some laid back, and many shift depending on our energy. The big takeaway was noticing the small signs and matching your approach. Raise your energy for a dull horse. Slow everything down for a sensitive one.Groundwork builds confidenceFor green or new horses, groundwork is the place to start. Leading, bending, yielding, and responding to pressure help the horse feel safe and give you tools you can use later in the saddle. It has made a huge difference for Stacy and her boys.The basics always winWinter is the perfect time to revisit stretching, bending, rhythm, and suppleness. Going back to basics makes everything easier when you start schooling movements again.Thank you to the Dressage FoundationWe also highlighted the Dressage Foundation and the many grants that support riders. Stacie recently received the Gifted Memorial Grant, and our own “Dressage for All” Youth Fund will award its first grants this spring. Community support truly keeps our sport thriving.Thank you all for joining and for being part of this amazing community. Your questions and your stories are what make these live sessions so meaningful.Happy ridingAmeliaPS. Don't forget to RSVP for Bootcamp coming in January!

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveA few years ago, Lea Ypi was scrolling through Facebook when she came across a family photo she had never seen before. Someone had discovered a photograph of Ypi's grandparents on their honeymoon and posted it on a public Facebook group. Ypi — a philosophy professor from Albania who teaches at the London School of Economics — was dismayed by the comments on the photograph, which ranged from inaccurate to judgmental to just plain mean. Were the husband and wife in this photo Albanian aristocrats? Fascist collaborators? Victims of Communism? Responding to the trolls — as well as, as she puts it, “taking the trolls seriously” — Ypi decided to write a book reconstructing her grandparents' story. The result is Indignity: A Life Reimagined, a book which asks, among other things, what does human dignity really mean? What makes this book even more interesting is that Ypi's grandparents lived through some of the most dramatic moments in the twentieth century: the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the rise of Fascism, and World War II. Ypi joins Damir and Santiago, who want to understand Ypi's own philosophical priors. Damir wants to know where moral responsibility ends and and the structural forces of history begin. Santiago asks whether dignity, as a concept, has a metaphysical foundation. The result is a wide-ranging conversation that covers history, literature, philosophy and more.In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Santiago asks Ypi about the difference between Fascist and Communist decision-making; Damir presses Ypi on the question of free will; Ypi discusses her two-point prescription for a better Europe; Santiago asks Ypi whether it's hard to write about one's country in a foreign language; and finally, Ypi's hot take on Zohran Mamdani.Required Reading:* Lea Ypi, Indignity: A Life Reimagined (Amazon). * Lea Ypi, Free: Coming of Age at the End of History (Amazon). * Immanuel Kant, Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals (Amazon). * Friedrich Schiller, On the Aesthetic Education of Man (Amazon).

Thankfulness isn’t just a seasonal tradition—it’s a spiritual posture rooted deep in Scripture and woven through history. Psalm 100:4 calls us to enter God’s presence with gratitude, a theme that began long before American holidays and continues to shape the way believers respond to God’s goodness today. From Old Testament thank offerings to the Pilgrims’ courageous faith, we’re reminded that gratitude grows strongest in hearts that remember God’s faithfulness through every circumstance. Highlights Biblical thanksgiving began with offerings of gratitude long before modern celebrations. Leviticus and 2 Chronicles reveal how God invited His people to display thankfulness through worship. America’s Thanksgiving tradition is deeply influenced by the Pilgrims’ commitment to biblical truth. Despite tremendous suffering, the Pilgrims lived out 1 Thessalonians 5:18 by giving thanks in all circumstances. Historical accounts show how miraculous their survival truly was—only a fraction lived to see the first feast. The Pilgrims’ perseverance helped lay the foundation for a national day dedicated to thanking God. Leaders like Washington and Lincoln carried forward the tradition of national gratitude to the Lord.

Full Transcript Below: Cultivating a Heart Full of Thanksgiving By Lynette Kittle Bible Reading: “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name”—Psalm 100:4 Offering thanksgiving didn’t begin in America; it began in the Bible, taught to humankind by a loving and gracious God who is deserving and worthy of our gratitude, and to receive thankfulness that comes from hearts truly grateful for all He has done and is still doing in our lives and in our nation. Thanksgiving to God, often associated with food offerings, began in the Bible. As early as Leviticus 7:12, we read how God instructed, “If they offer it as an expression of thankfulness, then along with this thank offering they are to offer thick loaves made without yeast and with olive oil mixed in, thin loaves made without yeast and brushed with oil, and thick loaves of the finest flour well-kneaded and with oil mixed in.” Again, in 2 Chronicles 29:31, the King calls for the people to give thanks. “Then Hezekiah said, ‘You have now dedicated yourselves to the Lord. Come and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the temple of the Lord.’ So the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all whose hearts were willing brought burnt offerings.” America’s Thankfulness Rooted in Biblical Truth Remarkably, Thanksgiving Day in America is rooted in the biblical faith brought and carried to our land through the Pilgrims who courageously escaped Europe’s tightly held religious control to pursue freedom to worship God. Creator and Executive Producer of The Pilgrims documentary, Dr. Jerry Newcombe, follows the Pilgrims from Europe to the New World, documenting their faith and journey to America. The Pilgrims, even in the suffering they endured in Europe and after arriving in America, believed what 1 Thessalonians 5:18 urges, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Newcombe describes the harsh winter leading up to the first 1621 Thanksgiving, marked by illness, cold, and starvation. Of the eighteen women aboard the Mayflower, only four survived. As well, half the married men and ten of the twenty-nine unmarried men died. Children survived better than the adults, with seventeen of the twenty surviving the brutal conditions. Still, very few Pilgrims survived the devastating “starving times” and sickness to participate in the first Thanksgiving, enduring what 2 Corinthians 4:8 describes. “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down but not destroyed.” As well, historian and author of The Treacherous World of the 16th Century & How the Pilgrims Escaped It: The Prequel to America's Freedom, William J. Federer, discusses facts that some may overlook, such as how miraculous it was for the Pilgrims to escape Europe and birth America. “Of the 102 Pilgrims, only 47 survived till spring,” writes Federer, “At one point, only a half dozen were healthy enough to care for the rest.” The Pilgrims Laid the Groundwork for Thanksgiving “Without the Pilgrims, Thanksgiving Day, set aside to thank God,” states Federer, “it may not have ever been established. They laid the groundwork and foundation for America to set aside a holiday to thank God.” Although not officially called Thanksgiving Day at the time, the Pilgrims were able to kick off America’s tradition of giving thanks to God with a three-day feast with the Native Americans. Devoted to a purity of the Gospel, the Pilgrims recognized the importance of thankfulness, even in the most difficult of times, understanding it as a sacrifice to God. As Psalm 116:17 directs, “I will sacrifice a thank offering to You and call on the name of the Lord. “ “Because of them,” writes Newcombe, “we have had 400 years of Thanksgiving in America, and thanks to Presidents Washington (who declared the first national day of Thanksgiving) and Lincoln (who made it a yearly event), we even celebrate it as an annual holiday.” Newcombe, who also serves as Executive Director of Providence Forum, an outreach of Coral Ridge Ministries, shares President George Washington’s declaration for a national day of Thanksgiving, “[I]t is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor.” Intersecting Faith & Life: Ask God to lead you in cultivating a heart full of thanksgiving. Begin by studying His word, spending time in prayer thanking Him for His faithfulness, and telling others of all He has done in your life.

Hello to you listening in Suffolk, Virginia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for an important story) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Each one of us - if we're determined - finds a way to compost the regrets, poor decisions, failures, shames and blames that are part and parcel of living life into something almost beyond description: personal transformation. My long time friend, podcasting colleague, disabled military vet, and avid hiker, Keith McNally, is a man finding his path to transformation.His goal? Thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail beginning on March 29, 2026, crossing 14 states on the East Coast and finishing 2,197 miles 5 months later. Some of the challenges include constant rough terrain with difficult footing, a series of steep grades, climbs and descents, as well as river crossings balanced on logs, extreme weather, insects, and rock scrambles using hands for climbing. The elevation profile of the AT over its length is akin to summiting Mount Everest from sea level and back approximately 16 times. So yes, physical fitness is a must to take on the AT; but it is mental fortitude and the ability to adapt to unforseen challenges that is key to finishing the hike.Keith's journey will be a test of perseverance, a tribute to the beauty of the natural world, and an opportunity for personal growth. Even more importantly, Keith is setting the groundwork for a non-profit foundation to help military veterans find their own Trails to Transformation. This first hike is just the beginning.  But here's something else. Keith is not walking alone. He has also been steadfastly training an indefatigable Aussie cattle dog he named Ashley after rescuing her from a shelter. Click HERE to watch a short video entitled:  Introduction to Ashley - Trail Partner and Training CompanionAs you can imagine, an expedition like this one does not come cheap. I know money is dear. And, here I am asking you to please reach deep into your pocket to give what you are able to Keith & Ashley's GoFundMe project. On the GoFundMe site you'll find all the details as well as a punch list of expenses so you can see where your contributions will go.    Click HERE to access Keith's GoFundMe, add what you can, and invite others to be part of the mission. I did!  If you are curious about keeping up with Keith's training, stories, photos and more, click HERE to access his  overwhelmingly popular newsletter published on Tuesdays on LinkedIn [Keith J.

She is also one of the editors of the third edition of The Rhetorical Tradition: Readings from Classical Times to the Present. Her most recent book, The Ancient Art of Thinking for Yourself: The Power of Rhetoric in Polarized Times is written for a general audience and introduces key concepts from the ancient rhetorical tradition that can help readers navigate today's complex and polarizing politics.  Ryan Skinnell is Professor of Rhetoric and Writing at San José State University. His current research investigates authoritarian, demagogic, and fascist rhetoric, particularly in the early 20th century, and its relationship to global politics in the 21st century. He has published six books, including Faking the News: What Rhetoric Can Teach Us About Donald J. Trump and Rhetoric and Guns. He's also published more than two dozen articles and book chapters in top scholarly journals and edited collections, as well as essays in popular press outlets including the Washington Post, Newsweek, and Salon.

Ted Gioia warned this would be a tough week—and he wasn't kidding. Week 33 of the Immersive Humanities Project had me wrestling with three giants of philosophy: Descartes, Kant, and Spinoza. I started with Descartes' Discourse on the Method, where his famous “I think, therefore I am” felt surprisingly direct and human. His four rules for reasoning—question, divide, simplify, and review—made him seem less like an abstract philosopher and more like a kind, curious friend.Kant's Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals was another story. Dense and demanding, it centers on the “Categorical Imperative”: act only according to principles you'd accept as universal law. It's a moral system built purely on duty, not emotion.Then came Spinoza's Ethics, written like a geometry proof. His radical idea—that God and Nature are one—left little room for the supernatural or free will.When reading failed, I turned to the 1987 Great Philosophers series with Brian Magee, which unlocked everything. These thinkers—Continental Rationalists all—believed reason alone could uncover truth, unlike the British Empiricists who demanded evidence. It was a mentally exhausting but fascinating stretch, and next week I'm relieved to return to fiction with Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

Feeling overwhelmed by planning next year when your business still feels a bit messy beneath the surface? In this episode, Anna Lundberg shares why rushing headlong into goal-setting without strong business foundations is a recipe for frustration, and lays out a practical, simple approach to set yourself up for success in 2026. If you're craving more clarity, smarter strategy, and a business that actually suits your life, this episode is tailor-made for you. Key takeaways: Brilliant Planning Starts with the Right Foundations: Setting new goals and colour-coded calendars is pointless if your underlying business model is misaligned or not delivering what you need. First, get clear on what's working, what feels heavy, and what simply isn't serving you. The Stop, Start, Continue Method: Anna advocates for the "stop, start, continue" framework—identify what to stop doing (low-ROI activities or things that drain you), what you must continue (your proven efforts), and a mindful approach to what new things you start (beware shiny-object syndrome!). Prioritise Simplicity Over Overwhelm: Avoid the trap of planning a million changes. Anna's approach focuses on a light reset—refining your core priorities and picking only one or two key shifts for the first quarter, keeping things achievable and aligned. Check Your Business Model and Message: Review where your income comes from, what's profitable, and whether your delivery modes (coaching, mentoring, speaking, etc.) align with your capacity and energy. Sharpen your messaging so it stands out in a busy marketplace. Groundwork Business Recalibration: Anna introduces her 10-day "Groundwork" programme—an experiential reset to evaluate, recalibrate, and set an intentional path for the year ahead, focusing on clarity, confidence, and sustainable growth. Ready to reset before the year ends? Join Groundwork - a 10-day guided sprint to step back, get clear on what's working, and make intentional decisions for 2026. Short daily videos, focused prompts, and the option to join a WhatsApp group and live coaching call. We start Monday 17th November. onestepoutside.com/groundwork

How well do you really know your horse? Not just how he feels under saddle, but how he is when you're not riding? This week on Sunday Strides, I'm inviting you to do something simple, but powerful. You're going to spend a few minutes each day checking your horse's vitals. Why? Because when something feels "off," knowing what's normal helps you act fast, give your vet accurate information, and be the advocate your horse needs. No riding required. No lunging. Just you, your horse, and a little extra attention. Here's Your Challenge for the Week: ✅ Take your horse's temperature (morning + evening) ✅ Count their resting breath rate ✅ Check the colour of the mucus membranes (gums or inner eyelids) ✅ Test capillary refill time ✅ Record the digital pulse in the lower leg (for all 4 legs) ✅ Run your hands down their legs and feet for lumps, swelling, and heat Do this four times this week, ideally morning and evening for 4 days, and then commit to making this part of your regular routine twice a week going forward. It takes just a few minutes, but could save you hours (or worse) later. Mentioned in the Episode

After a lengthy off-season, duck season is cracking open up north and knocking on the door down south. Reports out of Canada and the Dakotas are all over the map—mallards are spotty up there, but a few are finally filtering into Arkansas and beyond. Brent and Cason dive into what's shaping the season ahead: mounting pressure on ducks that goes deeper than the gun, the idea of smaller limits for better hunts, and the “midpoint theory” that just happens to line up with this week. They wrap it all up the only way they know how—talking ducks, dirt, and a little SEC football chaos.>>Thanks to our sponsors: Tom Beckbe, Lile Real Estate, Perfect Limit Outdoors, Purina Pro Plan, Sitka Gear, Greenhead: The Arkansas Duck Hunting Magazine, Diamond M Land Development, and Ducks Unlimited.The Standard Sportsman Duck Hunting PodcastSend us a textAll Rights Reserved.

What if life doesn't fight decay, but feeds on it?In this episode, I explore metabolic ontology, a way of seeing being, learning, and ethics as continual re-organization. Entropy, loss, and transformation aren't problems to fix; they're the medium through which life keeps composing itself.Drawing from my work in regenerative education, I look at how this shift from stability to metabolism changes everything: how we understand learning&doing, assessment, and the role of institutions. Regeneration isn't preservation; it's participation: the willingness to let forms, including our own, decompose when vitality demands it.This episode is an invitation to see education, and life itself, as becoming-through-loss: coherence renewing through change, vitality re-organizing through decay.

Can "no" from a stranger eventually turn into your loyal patient?

Sprinkled through every ride, and every interaction on the ground, the half halt is one of the most powerful communication tools you'll ever use. But most riders only ever think of it in the saddle. In this Strides Revisited episode, we're rewinding to a listener-favorite that explores how the half halt begins long before you put your foot in the stirrup. You'll discover how groundwork can clarify your timing, refine your aids, and completely transform the quality of your conversations with your horse. We'll talk about… Why your thoughts are your most important aid, on the ground and in the saddle How to use body language, voice, and position to create light, responsive communication The subtle difference between a halt and a half halt (and why it matters everywhere) How to take your daily handling off autopilot and rebuild real feel and connection If you've ever struggled to “feel” when to use a half halt or what it should actually do, this episode will give you simple, practical ways to start improving today, even without riding.

There's no doubt referrals feel amazing. They're proof you're good at what you do, and there's nothing quite like hearing "so and so recommended you" in your inbox. But if referrals are your only game plan for growth, you're basically outsourcing your pipeline to luck.And that's a problem.I hear this all the time from clients who come to me when the referrals slow down or when they realize the referrals they're getting aren't actually the clients they want to work with.In this episode, I'm breaking down why referrals alone won't get you where you want to be, the psychology behind borrowed trust versus earned trust, and what needs to shift if you want to build a brand that attracts aligned clients, regardless of whether your name gets passed around or not.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:→ The difference between borrowed trust (referrals) and earned trust (your brand doing the work)→ Why referrals don't filter for fit, and how that keeps you stuck with "pays the bills" clients instead of dream clients→ The cost of invisibility: what happens when people try to Google you and find… nothing→ How to use content and your brand as a magnet so your pipeline is always full—Follow me on Instagram at @pane.marketingSubscribe to my newsletter The Content Pour-Over for your brand's boost of content clarity every Wednesday!—Mentioned in this episode:→ The Groundwork - 1:1 Brand Strategy Intensive

Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from the Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from the Nashville Fertility Center. Today's episode is EXTRA SPECIAL — it's release day for our brand-new book, The IVF Blueprint! We've spent several years putting this resource together for anyone considering or going through IVF, egg freezing, or embryo transfer, and we're thrilled to finally share it with you. In this episode, we're diving into the first half of the book: Part I and Part II. In Part I, “Laying the Groundwork,” we walk through everything to know before treatment begins — from deciding if IVF is the right path, to understanding stimulation medications (and whether they'll actually make you “crazy”), to making healthy lifestyle changes that benefit both you and your future baby. We also discuss supplements that may play a helpful role during your journey. In Part II, we move into the nuts and bolts of the IVF process itself. We cover what to expect at monitoring visits, take a detailed look at the egg retrieval, and introduce you to the key people you'll meet along the way — from embryologists and nurses to anesthesia staff and physicians. Plus, we break down pre-implantation genetic testing and explain what happens as embryos grow and develop in the lab. This episode is Part I of our book discussion — stay tuned for Part II coming soon! This podcast was sponsored by Shady Grove Fertility

Laura Hayton, Head of Business Development North at Transicon and a passionate advocate for the power of physical fitness in boosting sales performance, is with us on the show this week. Laura opens up about her personal journey, revealing how strength training helped her overcome anxiety, build resilience, and unlock a new level of professional success—all while balancing the demands of her career and being a single mother to neurodivergent twins. We explore the direct connections between physical well-being and high performance in sales, and discuss the practical steps sales professionals can take to manage stress, increase motivation, and sustain their energy—all grounded in Laura's hard-earned experience and actionable advice. Whether you're struggling to find time for self-care and looking to overcome burnout, this episode is packed with valuable strategies and inspiration to help you become the best version of yourself, both in and out of the office. Outline of This Episode [00:00] Fitness fuels professional success. [03:09] Connection between fitness and business performance. [04:45] Morning strength training as the key to daily success. [06:52] Fitness helps you keep those plates from spinning. [08:37] Consistency over intensity. [10:58] Self-care isn't selfish: strategies for avoiding negative burnout. [12:43] How to make fitness a habit. How Strength Training, Mindset, and Self-Care Fuel Sales Success For Laura, fitness wasn't always a priority. Like many, she found herself overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, and the stressors of daily life—especially while raising neurodivergent twins during the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. But what began as a coping mechanism quickly turned into a transformative routine. Not only did it help her manage anxiety and self-esteem, it shifted her mindset entirely—replacing self-limiting beliefs with confidence and resilience. The results transcended the gym. Laura began embracing opportunities she once found intimidating, from public speaking to taking on challenging roles. For Laura, the focus and mental strength gained through fitness directly translated into her professional achievements. Morning Movement: Laying the Groundwork for a Winning Day A major takeaway from Laura's practice is her dedication to early morning workouts. Waking up at 5 a.m. and training by 5:30, she carves out sacred personal time before life's demands kick in. This ritual isn't just about breaking a sweat—it's a space to think creatively, set intentions, and cultivate a sense of control. “On the days that I do it, I feel in control, confident, and really ready… If I'm not doing it, my patience runs thin, and it always feels like my day just doesn't go to plan,” Laura explains. For sales professionals whose schedules can be unpredictable, this kind of intentionality can be essential for maintaining focus and motivation throughout the day. Managing Stress, Motivation, and Performance Sales is a high-pressure field, and managing stress is critical. Fitness, for Laura, is the cornerstone that keeps those plates spinning. It's a stress outlet that also boosts mood, sharpens focus, and builds the momentum that carries into her work and home life. On those days when stress feels overwhelming, exercise acts as a “reset button,” enabling her to show up as her best self. Most sales professionals know they should prioritize health, but common roadblocks get in the way. Laura highlights three challenges: lack of time, inconsistency, and the wrong mindset. Her guidance is to:  Make Time: Treat fitness as a non-negotiable meeting. Even with a busy schedule, if it matters, you will find a way. Stay Consistent: Don't overdo it at the start and risk burnout. Start small, maintain the habit, and make it enjoyable. Shift Mindset: If possible, hire a personal trainer for accountability and fun. Don't view exercise as punishment, but as an opportunity for growth. The Do's and Don'ts of Fitness for Salespeople Laura distills her wisdom into actionable tips: Do: Protect your workout time—make it a top priority. Find joy in your training—pick activities you enjoy. Get professional support for accountability and learning. Don't: Compare your progress to others; your journey is unique. Pursue extreme, unsustainable routines. Separate health from career success—they are intrinsically linked. Self-Care Is a Smart Sales Strategy Laura's story is proof positive that investing in fitness doesn't just change your body; it elevates your mindset and professional capabilities. Fitness doesn't have to be about chasing perfection. It's about finding a routine that builds confidence, keeps energy high, and helps you show up as the best version of yourself. For sales professionals aiming to reach new heights, perhaps the missing piece isn't just a new strategy—it's stronger self-care and a commitment to physical wellbeing. Self-care isn't selfish. It's essential.

This talk explores how to begin a mindfulness practice by starting exactly where you are. Rather than striving for a particular state or trying to “do it right,” we look at how mindfulness arises through simple remembering—the act of returning to presence, again and again. We'll reflect on how the breath can become a reliable ally, how intention can quietly shape our experience, and how there's no wrong way to begin.   We'll explore four key themes: (1) how mindfulness is the practice of remembering presence, (2) the power of starting just as you are, without needing to fix or change anything, (3) how setting intention deepens and sustains your practice, and (4) the breath as a steady anchor in the midst of life's swirl. Through stories, guided reflection, and practical tools, you'll learn how to plant the seeds of a lifelong practice.

Professor Kozlowski tackles the preeminent philosopher of Enlightenment philosophy: Immanuel Kant. In this lecture, we'll discuss the basic principles underlying Deontological Ethics (including an explanation of the Categorical Imperative), before moving on to appreciate the wry dark humor and cutting insights of his political essay "Perpetual Peace."Our readings include excerpts from the Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals (Or "Groundwork...") and the complete essay "Perpetual Peace."Additional readings this week include a healthy portion of sturm und drang: Goethe's Faust and Schiller's The Robbers, as well as the behemoth of Romantic Political Philosophy: Hegel's The Philosophy of Right. (Proceed with caution - Hegel is not for the faint of heart...) As for today's video game recommendation, we're going with the Gamecube-era JRPG: Tales of Symphonia for its unflinching deontological morality. Take that, Final Fantasy X!If you're interested in Professor Kozlowski's other online projects, check out his website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠professorkozlowski.wordpress.com

Tragically, Breitbart himself is not. He died suddenly on March 1, 2012 at just 43 years of age. In his life, ⁠Breitbart⁠ was always a pioneer, pushing media and politics to the edges of the map only to open a completely new frontier. There's something fitting to him exploring the frontier of eternity just a little before the rest of us in his earthly death. Breitbart spent most of his career at the confluence of Hollywood, media, and politics. He was one of the first men on the right to clearly see the complete picture. “Celebrity is everything in this country,” Breitbart once said. “Media is everything. It's everything.” After listening to a radio interview with Breitbart, Larry O'Connor, then a show manager for Broadway productions, contacted Breitbart and wanted to write for his blog Big Hollywood. O'Connor found Breitbart, but Breitbart also found ⁠O'Connor⁠. Now a radio host with Washington, D.C.'s WMAL, probably the most influential political radio station in the country, and author of a new book titled “Shameless Liars,” O'Connor joined ⁠"The Signal Sitdown"⁠ to discuss how Andrew Breitbart saw the rise of Trump, and the efforts to take him down like the Russiagate hoax, coming.
