His innovation was "revolutionary defeatism," arguing imperialist war should be turned into civil war. Lenin advocated a global series of civil wars to usher in the proletarian revolution.

Dan and Paul discuss the art of pacing a tabletop RPG session without taking away player agency. How can a GM speed up play when the group burrows into side plots, or slow things down when players sprint straight toward the finale? When should you intervene to shape the tempo, and when should you simply let the party set the pace themselves? They also compare how pacing concerns differ between one-shot adventures and long-term campaigns, and explore ways to maintain momentum while still allowing players the freedom to explore, wander, and surprise the GM.

In this episode, we are joined by Amy Niemczyk, a parent (just like you!) whose family dynamic has drastically shifted since adopting the non-coercive, collaborative parenting philosophy. This is an excellent episode for parents who are searching for concrete tools for navigating kids' physical expression (like biting) and resolving sibling struggles.Amy and her partner are the parents to four young children who have been on this journey for just over three years. Amy shares how she struggled with letting go of screen time control as her seven year old autonomously navigated balance, and how she turned toward love and not shame to work through weeks of her three year old pinching her. Her stories go deeper than the parent-child dynamic, seeping into the sibling relationships as well. Rythea and Cara are moved by Amy's earnest and heart-felt admission of the changes she's experienced with her children: how removing authority from her parenting paradigm revealed a deep love both with her children and within herself.

Today's conversation goes deep into what really happens when women finally step into a menopause support space, the privacy they protect fiercely, the relief they feel when they discover they're not alone, and the hunger for real, accessible care. Guiding this exploration is Angela MacGregor, the powerhouse founder of the National Menopause Show. Angela is rewriting the script on how Canada talks about menopause: bold, future-focused, and grounded in evidence and humanity. Together, we unpack why so many women show up to these sessions quietly and alone, why access to informed care still feels out of reach, and how normalization and community are slowly breaking decades of stigma. Angela brings her signature clarity and courage as we explore what it truly means to elevate menopause from a whispered topic to a national priority, one honest conversation at a time. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why privacy is a top reason women attend menopause sessions solo The massive access gap in menopause care — and how it impacts real lives The moment of “Oh… it's not just me” that shifts everything How stigma dissolves when menopause becomes a normalized, public conversation The cultural shift Angela is championing through the National Menopause Show Key Takeaways Women often seek menopause support alone for privacy Access to menopause-informed care remains limited Shared experiences bring relief, connection, and validation Every menopause journey is unique — and deserves respect Education empowers women, providers, and workplaces Larger cultural conversations are changing fast Safe, stigma-free spaces are essential for women's health and confidence Chapters: 00:00:00 - Introduction to Angela MacGregor 00:03:00 - The National Menopause Show's Impact 00:09:00 - Challenges Women Face During Menopause 00:15:00 - The Importance of Community and Education 00:21:00 - Advocacy and Support from Healthcare Providers Let's Stay Connected: Website Instagram Facebook Facebook Group Got questions or feedback?

He breaks down what it takes to make AI approachable in the boardroom, why data literacy is now a business imperative, and how to balance innovation with operational reality. Discover how Vedran is redefining the role of data, technology, and human insight in shaping the next generation of enterprise transformation.Key Moments:From Deterministic to Probabilistic Thinking (10:19): Vedran explains how today's AI shifts decision-making from predictable, rules-based systems to adaptive, probabilistic ones. He shares how leaders must learn to balance control with flexibility to build trust in AI's potential while managing its unpredictability.AI Literacy in the Boardroom (12:55): Vedran emphasizes that real transformation begins with leadership understanding.

“My biggest thing has been remembering that I'm not Dathan, I'm not Kelsey, but that's why I was hired. The three of us all have very different experiences, we bring different things to the table, and we're just hoping to give the athletes this well-roundedness in support and resources... That's the really cool part about what OAC is doing. We're trying to help this next wave of incredible athletes maximize what they're capable of and it's okay that we all do that differently.”My guest for today's episode is Laura Thweatt, the former professional marathoner who has now stepped into an assistant coach role and is helping oversee the roads team with the On Athletics Club. For 13 years, Laura was a steady coaching presence for high school runners in Boulde and now she's made the jump to guide the likes of 2025 New York City Marathon champion Hellen Obiri and has also helped Joe Klecker navigate the transition from the track to 26.2.Laura is someone who understands the emotional and psychological side of performance. The OAC has seen quite a bit of success in its first five years as a team and as the sport is in one of the most competitive eras ever. Laura is now the connective tissue between the original core of the team and the next generation stepping onto the roads. She talks about how she's built that trust with the athletes, fostered the culture, and developed her own coaching philosophy and style.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Laura Thweatt | @lthweatt on Instagram Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on Instagram____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.

In the spring of 1980, nine-year-old Bridget Crocker, while playing next to her home river, fell from a downed tree into the cold swollen Snake River — a scary swim that initiated a deep, lifelong relationship with rivers and river people. This year in 2025 her memoir “The River's Daughter” traces a thalweg of traumas, challenges and joys that played out in both her river life and her family life. Today Bridget hosts retreats and workshops on rivers, guides on special occasions, and is creating her dream life with her family.

On this episode of Star Trek Universe, Effie and I learn that sometimes it's best to let Sargons be bygones - especially when you meet douche bags with big ball energy who like to call ya “son”! Hide your Muldaurs and hide your Spocks, maman! They're snatchin' everybody out here!As we continue our rewatch/first-watch of The Original Series, we find ourselves face-to-face with LIGHTS IN BALLS... or rather, the now-non-corporeal entities who used to be humans millennia ago, desperate to make it back into human bodies -- but becoming human comes with weaknesses, maman! Sargon, this sounds familiar... We're talking Star Trek 2x22, “Return to Tomorrow”
Dacia Moore, licensed counselor and founder of Second Wind Counseling & Consulting, has dedicated her career to helping African Americans understand the benefits of therapy, take a proactive approach to mental wellness, and become their best selves. She's the author of Why Are So Many Students So Angry? and the forthcoming From Stuck to Unstoppable. In this episode, Dacia traces her mission back to her Jamaican mother, Dorothy, whose struggle with depression became a living picture of what it means to be "stuck." Watching Dorothy's pain - and her resilience - taught Dacia that staying stuck has a cost, and that faith, work ethic, and getting help are how we move again. We talk about recognizing when to ask for support and take a break, knowing when to let go and move on, navigating depression with compassion, and guiding our children with the hard-earned wisdom of our own experiences.

Brandon and Lindsy welcome a guest who cracks open a hidden dossier on culture-war psyops—where protest songs, psychedelics, and carefully scripted narratives intertwine. Listeners are led through a labyrinth of acid parties that weren't so “free,” Laurel Canyon salons doubling as distribution hubs, and elite families underwriting a psychedelic renaissance that looks far less organic than advertised. From Lennon to Hendrix, Cobain to Tupac, the names you thought were untouchable are revealed as pawns in a much bigger game. This conversation pulls the velvet curtain back on COINTELPRO echoes in hip-hop, the strange survival of “sex & rock 'n' roll” while “no drugs” artists vanished, and the shift from vinyl manipulation to viral manipulation.

Brandon Soucie is a full-time fly-fishing guide at Taylor Creek Fly Shop in Basalt, Colorado, and one of the most recognized local experts in the Roaring Fork Valley. Born and raised in Basalt, Brandon grew up fishing the Fryingpan, Roaring Fork, Crystal, and Colorado Rivers — waters that would later become both his playground and his office. He picked up his first fly rod around the age of eight and began spending every spare moment learning the local honey-holes and trout behavior. By fourteen, he was working in the fly shop, and just a few years later, at eighteen, he transitioned to guiding full-time — beginning what would become a lifelong career on the water. Guiding more than 200 days a year, Brandon has built a reputation for his deep understanding of local rivers and his patient, educational approach to guiding. He's known not just for putting clients on fish, but for helping them understand why the fish are there and how to catch them. His calm, friendly personality and ability to tailor each trip to a client's experience level make him a favorite among both first-time anglers and seasoned fly anglers. Whether floating the Colorado, walking the Fryingpan, or wading the Roaring Fork, Brandon brings an unmatched level of local insight and enthusiasm to every outing. Outside of his professional guiding, Brandon continues to live and breathe the fly-fishing lifestyle. When he's not working with clients, he can be found fishing with his wife and daughter, tying flies, or exploring new fisheries for both freshwater and saltwater species. His lifelong dedication to fishing and his deep roots in the Roaring Fork Valley make him not just a guide, but a true ambassador for Colorado fly-fishing — someone who embodies the passion, patience, and respect for the water that defines the sport.
