Skeptics said synagogues didn't exist in Galilee during Jesus' lifetime. They were wrong. They said crucified victims were never buried. They were wrong. They said the Gospel writers invented details about first-century Palestine. Wrong again.Dr. Craig Evans, one of the world's leading scholars on the historical Jesus and New Testament archaeology, has spent decades connecting physical discoveries to the Gospel narratives. He's authored over 70 books, founded the Dead Sea Scrolls Institute, lectured at Cambridge, Oxford, and Yale, and appeared on BBC, the History Channel, Discovery Channel, and National Geographic. In this episode, he walks us through the discoveries that secular Israeli archaeologists rely on the Gospels as their primary sources, why skeptical theories collapse under the weight of evidence, and how the skeletal remains of a crucified man confirm that Jesus would have been buried exactly as the Gospels describe. This conversation will transform how you read the New Testament.In this episode, you will learn:Why Israeli archaeologists, even non-believing ones, use Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts as their most reliable sourcesThe discovery of first-century synagogues at Magdala and what they reveal about Jesus' ministryWhat the Theodotus Inscription proves about synagogues existing in Jerusalem before 70 ADHow the Pilate Stone and Caiaphas Ossuary confirm key figures from the Passion narrativesWhy the Gospel writers showed remarkable restraint and integrity in recording only what Jesus actually saidThe archaeological evidence that crucified victims in Jewish Palestine were in fact buriedHow the skeletal remains of Yehohanan, a crucified man with a nail still in his heel, validates Gospel burial accountsWhy Joseph of Arimathea's burial of Jesus is historically plausible and fits Jewish law perfectlyThe stunning continuity of village memory that preserved the location of Jesus' tomb for centuriesCheck out Dr. Craig Evans' work:Website: https://www.craigaevans.comJesus and His World: The Archaeological EvidenceFabricating Jesus: How Modern Scholars Distort the GospelsThe Bible Seminary: https://www.thebibleseminary.eduStay Connected with Johnny Ova and The Dig In Podcast: Subscribe and follow The Dig In Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyova Follow all things Johnny: https://linktr.ee/johnnyova Grab Johnny's book, The Revelation Reset: https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H

Normally when I do an interview for the Fancy Scientist podcast, it's me interviewing a guest. But for this week's episode, I'm flipping the script and the guest is….yours truly: Me!!You see, last year I was interviewed by my friend and fellow podcaster Andrew Lewin, who hosts the How to Protect the Ocean Podcast. Because I had such a great time chatting with him and my audience has grown so much recently, I thought It would be a great opportunity for you to get to know me more so that you can learn about how I got to where I am today and learn from my experiences and path from traditional research scientist to online business owner in content creation for wildlife careers and science, conservation, and nature education.  I have a very unconventional career path with many unexpected twists and turns. For the first 17 years of my career, I went about this career through the traditional research route, but even this choice itself was unexpected. To be honest, I didn't even know wildlife biology was a viable career path until I took a study abroad program in Kenya focused on wildlife management. You'll learn how I stumbled upon this program and why I chose it. From there I participated in multiple internships, got a Ph.D. studying forest elephants, and had multiple postdocs. Andrew and I get real about what it's like to have a lasting career in this field. I talk about the hardships of trying to find a permanent position while working to stay in a place that I loved (Raleigh, North Carolina) and navigating an oversaturated wildlife job market. I truly was shocked by how few permanent jobs I was truly qualified for, how closely job experience needs to match job descriptions, and how competitive the field is, even for people with PhDs. I was told I would not be pigeon-holed, but I was. We spend some time discussing the competitiveness of this career and what I teach students: that finding clarity, being strategic about experience and networking, and improving job applications, are the keys to success through a proven framework that I've now tested with dozens of students. I thought I was going to be a researcher for life, but my journey took me in another direction. The difficulties I had in landing a permanent job after my Ph.D. combined with the science communication experiences from years of postdocing at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences opened my eyes to my true fashion: science communication and career mentoring.I decided to do this through entrepreneurship - something I never thought I would do! As a young girl, I grew up watching my dad run his jewelry business and never wanted that for myself, but over time I realized that I could only have the impact I wanted on conservation and the natural world through opening my own business. Andrew and I have an honest discussion about what it takes to run a business in this field, including the financial pressures and mindset. If you've ever thought about starting your own business or side hustle, which I truly believe is something anyone can do in this field, and to be honest should do, this episode is for you. You'll get my advice on how to get started and earn revenue by teaching your expertise in science and nature fields (or any other area of expertise!). As podcasters, Andrew and I are both passionate about science communication and we take a deep dive into how to effectively communicate science with the public. We talk about how my work at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, blogging, and public speaking, led me to recognize how much conservation solutions ultimately came down to reaching people and not through studying a species or its habitat (this is important, but not what it going to solve most conservation problems). I realized through studying a critically endangered species that no amount of research on this animal would save this species - rather, the solutions were all economic, political, or related to education. Getting others to care or have behavioral change would have a more profound impact on conservation for most problems and this was a big motivation for my career change.Finally, Andrew and I discussed my work on TV shows, including how I first appeared on Science Channel's What on Earth through a professional connection, and then later joined History Channel's The Proof Is Out There after producers found my YouTube video explaining why “black panthers” aren't present in the U.S. I go over what it's like to prepare for filming a television, how often it happens, and what I've learned about what audiences find fascinating when it comes to wildlife and nature, like bigfoot and other cryptids - a total surprise to me! Whether you are a new friend here to the podcast or a longtime listener, this is a really great episode to get a behind the scenes look at what I do professionally, as well as what it's like to be both a researcher working many different kinds of jobs in the wildlife profession. More specifically, I reveal:How I went from a straight career path of wildlife research to founding and running my own businessWhy a Kenya study abroad was a pivotal moment for me when I realized wildlife biology was a real careerMy Ph.D. research on forest elephant social behavior and using non-invasive genetics from their poop to study social structureHow saturated and competitive wildlife conservation jobs are, even with a Ph.D.Why alignment between your experience and the job posting matters so muchThe biggest reasons people don't get interviews (and what to change in applications)How investing in yourself can affect follow-through and resultsHow I started my own business in 2020 and ways you can generate revenue through an online businessWhat it's like to do science communication on TV and how I landed roles on the Science, History, and Discovery channelsHow being a scientist is similar to being an entrepreneurMy advice for anyone considering a side hustle or online businessAnd MORE!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist? Ready to turn your love of animals into a thriving career?

In this podcast, the guys dive into one of the most interesting wildlife management stories in recent memory, Colorado's new bison classification and lottery system, along with what it could mean for the future of conservation. They talk about how Colorado's new method of managing the Bison is a great example of how other states should approach controlling animal populations, and they get into the nitty gritty of how specific states, like Michigan, have completely failed in this category. The guys also have a conversation that takes a sharp turn into agroterrorism, and a shocking airport incident involving a smuggled crop pathogen and intercepted by U.S. Customs from China. The hazardous fungus produces something called VOMITOXIN! Could this be the next big problem the US faces? Topics covered in this episode: • Colorado reclassifying bison as both livestock and wildlife • The new bison lottery system and controlled harvest concepts • How hunting can raise money for conservation • The problem with sharpshooter deer culling programs • Helicopter conservation in Australia (yes, including frog sausages) • How predators can be trained not to eat invasive species • A real airport biosecurity case involving a dangerous crop fungus • What agro-terrorism actually means **Let us know what topics you would like us to cover!** Watch our HISTORY Channel show on: HISTORY: https://www.history.com/shows/the-green-way-outdoors & WAYPOINT TV: https://waypointtv.com/watch/the-green-way-outdoors Follow us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGreenWayOutdoors/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenwayoutdoors/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegreenwayout?lang=en Youtube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCjR5r6WwXcPKK0xVldNT5_g Website: www.thegreenwayoutdoors.com #bison #vomitoxin #agreoterrorism #CCP #colorado #austrailia #canetoad #thegreenwayoutdoors #podcast Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:HISTORYWAYPOINT TVFollow us on:FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutubeOur Website

On this episode of The Green Way Outdoors podcast Kyle Green, Ryan Parks and AJ Beadle discuss The Darién Gap. A dangerous, roadless jungle spanning the Colombia-Panama border, acting as the sole overland link between South and Central America, and has become a perilous route for migrants seeking to reach North America, filled with natural hazards like rivers and wildlife, alongside human threats from traffickers, smugglers, and violence, with hundreds of thousands undertaking the trek annually despite extreme risks, including death, disease, and exploitation. Then they dive in to the Florida Everglades, where researchers are using "robo-bunnies", solar-powered robotic rabbits, to lure and trap invasive Burmese pythons, which have devastated native mammal populations. These modified toy bunnies mimic real marsh rabbits with heat, movement, and soon scent, attracting pythons to strategically placed pens, triggering alerts for contractors to remove the snakes. It's a high-tech, ongoing trial by the University of Florida and South Florida Water Management District to combat the elusive pythons that are nearly impossible to find otherwise. Lastly, a large coalition of scientists, tribal nations, and environmental groups strongly advocates for removing the four lower Snake River dams (Ice Harbor, Little Goose, Lower Monumental, Lower Granite) because they are seen as a major obstacle to salmon recovery, making populations vulnerable to extinction, despite the dams providing benefits like power, irrigation, and barge transport, which would need replacing. Federal agencies, including NOAA Fisheries, have concluded that breaching is essential for salmon survival, especially with climate change making reservoirs warmer, while proponents argue it's the single best way to restore vital salmon runs to Idaho and beyond. On the other hand, the economic Impact of dam removal would be terrible and end efficient barge transport for wheat and irrigation for 400,000 acres, increasing costs for farmers. There is also no true way to transport that wheat for export if the dams were removed. The dams also generate significant clean energy, which would need replacing. Some also argue climate change, hatchery issues, and predation are also major threats, and dam removal isn't a guaranteed fix. So what is the right answer?  Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:HISTORY: https://www.history.com/shows/the-green-way-outdoors  Follow us on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGreenWayOutdoors/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenwayoutdoors/Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegreenwayout?lang=enYoutube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCjR5r6WwXcPKK0xVldNT5_gWebsite: www.thegreenwayoutdoors.com Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:HISTORYWAYPOINT TVFollow us on:FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutubeOur Website

Dolly Safran began her life journey already a generational contactee. Her father, an Airborne Ranger in the US Army, was also a contactee from an early age. Growing up was challenging for Dolly as occurrences of disappearing from her home, psychic phenomena and unseen friends caused anxiety for her mother. Until the age of 14, Dolly's memories were not fluid. She knew strange things were happening, but could not connect reality to them. It took a huge push to fight for her conscious recall to remain intact. After gaining awareness, her life took on purpose. Nursing began her journey. Then she began serving as a civilian worker in the US Department of the Treasury, and also in the Army as a Department of Defense employee. Life changed those trajectories suddenly, and she was happy to become a zoo keeper and an Animal Baby Momma for a private zoo and sanctuary in Florida. All while being taught by and working with ET.

Doug Marcaida of Forged in Fire on the History Channel brings the Filipino Martial art of Kali to the world of comics in Lineage. Estranged Brothers Miguel and Virgil are reunited by the death of their father and the trauma of a mysterious cult that has haunted them since they were children. Miguel and Virgil must remember the training given to to them by their father as the Blades passed down by generation are very distinct to their culture. The story not only brings the action you would expect from a martial arts comic, but the studies and philosophies built in the foundation of Kali and the idea of Legacy and Mentorship in the reunion of Family.

Robert Kurland, Ph.D.Can AI Have a Soul? What Science Fiction SaysDr. Robert Kurland, a convert to Catholicism in 1995, is a retired physicist who has applied magnetic resonance to problems of biological interest in his research (web search: “Kurland-McGarvey Equation”). Dr. Kurland is a graduate of Caltech (BS, 1951, “with honor”) and Harvard (PhD, 1956). His scientific career at Carnegie-Mellon, SUNY/AB, Cleveland Clinic, Geisinger Medical Center, has focused on biological applications of magnetic resonance, including MRI. Since his conversion to Catholicism, he has tried to spread the message that there's no war between Catholic teaching and science.AbstractMuch before AI tools became available, science fiction stories had shown how it might be manifested in computers, robots, and humanoid androids. As with other Speculative Fiction (Tolkien, C.S. Lewis) one takes the contrapositive beings and situations in such tales not as possible reality, but as parables illustrating the human condition. Three stories will be discussed: “Deus X” in which human consciousness can be transplanted to computers as life after death“The Measure of a Man—Star Trek, Next Generation,” a trial to determine whether the android Data is more than a machine “Our Lady of the Artifacts,” a novel in which an android with superhuman capabilities is possessed by a devilFr. Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D.Why AI Can't Have a Soul: The Transphysical ParadoxFor more on Magis AI, see https://wcatradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/MagisAI.pdfFr. Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D. is President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith (magiscenter.com), one of the largest science, faith, and reason apologetics institutes in the world. He was President of Gonzaga University from 1998 to 2009, where he increased the student body by 75%, oversaw the construction of 20 new facilities, and raised $200+ million for scholarships and buildings. He is the author of nineteen books, including the award-winning books New Proofs for the Existence of God and Science, Reason, and Faith: Discovering the Bible. He has also authored many scholarly articles on faith and science, metaphysics, and happiness and ethics. Father Spitzer has his own weekly EWTN television show called Fr. Spitzer's Universe. He has appeared on the Larry King Show (in discussion with Stephen Hawking and Deepak Chopra), the History Channel, the Today Show, and a PBS series. He started seven institutes dedicated to faith and reason and happiness/purpose in life. He was a professor at Georgetown University, Seattle University, and Gonzaga University and was awarded the teaching medal at both Georgetown University and Seattle University. He has held two major academic chairs—the Frank Shrontz Endowed Chair in Professional Ethics (Seattle University) and the John L. Aram Chair of Business Ethics (Gonzaga University), and has won multiple academic and professional awards including the DeSmet Medal (Gonzaga University's highest award), the Aquinas Medal (for Catholic philosophical scholarship), honorary doctorates, Phi Beta Kappa (honorary), and professional society awards.AbstractThe human soul performs five functions that cannot be reduced to physical processes and structures: (1) Self-consciousness, (2) Abstract intellection through conceptual ideas, (3) Conscience and moral awareness, (4) Transcendental awareness, and (5) Spiritual-numinous awareness. Since AI is reducible, and will always be reducible to physical processes and structures, AI will not replace a human soul – or be like a human soul.

Dolly Safran began her life journey already a generational contactee. Her father, an Airborne Ranger in the US Army, was also a contactee from an early age. Growing up was challenging for Dolly as occurrences of disappearing from her home, psychic phenomena and unseen friends caused anxiety for her mother. Until the age of 14, Dolly's memories were not fluid. She knew strange things were happening, but could not connect reality to them. It took a huge push to fight for her conscious recall to remain intact. After gaining awareness, her life took on purpose. Nursing began her journey. Then she began serving as a civilian worker in the US Department of the Treasury, and also in the Army as a Department of Defense employee.

What happens when stress, scarcity, or pressure push us into a reactive state? How do these mindsets shape our sense of agency, creativity, and connection to the world around us?We unpack how prolonged stress narrows perception and creates patterns that feel automatic. This is not about blame or toughness. It is about understanding how the nervous system responds, and how embodied competence, skill development, and sustained practice can shift us toward presence and choice.What predator and prey mindsets mean in psychological and behavioural termsHow modern stress saturates our attention and decision makingWhy reactivity often feels like the only optionThe difference between resilience through control and resilience through capabilityHow hands-on skill and mastery can help regulate the nervous systemPractical strategies to notice when you are in a prey pattern and how to move toward agencyCallie Russell is an ancestral living skills instructor, goat herder and wilderness practitioner who competed on Alone Season 7 and Alone: Frozen Season 1 on the History Channel.

How should Christians steward money in the end times without fear, greed, or confusion?In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with author and Bible teacher Steve Wohlberg to talk about biblical money stewardship and why financial wisdom matters now more than ever.

Steve shares why the Bible calls us to both be ready and occupy until Christ returns, and how wise financial decisions can actually bring greater peace, clarity, and freedom to serve others.If you've ever felt uneasy talking about money in church, overwhelmed by finances, or unsure how to plan while keeping your faith first, this conversation will give you practical insight and biblical encouragement you can actually use.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:25] Topic and Guest Introduction[05:05] Steve's Wake-Up Call About Retirement & Stewardship[09:39] The Interconnection of Health and Finances[12:27] Giving vs. Earning: Why Both Matter Biblically[14:12] How Steve Manages and Learn About Finance[16:40] Two Pillars of Truth[18:05] The Love of Money vs. Wise Stewardship[21:22] End-Times Economics: Buying, Selling & Control[23:10] Why Financial Peace Improves Longevity[25:16] Practical Steps for Financial Health[27:20] Investing Wisely for the Future[30:17] Building Wealth for Kingdom Work[33:45] The 10 Commandments & Financial Wisdom[37:40] Why This Book Is a Missionary Tool[39:30] Conclusion and ResourcesResources mentioned:Get your copy of Be Wise With Your Money in These End Times by Steve W.

In this episode, we sit down with Jared McGilliard, director and executive producer of MonsterQuest, as he steps out from behind the camera to share the encounters that shaped his understanding of the phenomenon. From the dense forests of Washington's North Cascades to remote regions tied to decades of unexplained activity, Jared recounts experiences that go far beyond television production.Drawing from his time investigating cryptid cases around the world—including extreme expeditions into the Himalayas—Jared reflects on the moments that stayed with him long after the cameras stopped rolling. He describes locations passed down through generations, a singular place in the Pacific Northwest tied to repeated activity, and the unsettling realization that some encounters don't fit neatly into any known explanation.How to Watch MonsterQuest:The new season of MonsterQuest is now airing on the History Channel and available through History's official streaming and on-demand platforms.

Rick is joined by Boston-area comic and neighbor Kathe Farris for an episode that perfectly sums up New England living at its finest. They kick things off with the New England Patriots heading to another Super Bowl and how casually cool it is to live near the stadium—especially when a flyover rattles your house. They recap the blizzard and their wildly different survival strategies: Kathe did the responsible thing—stocked up, shoveled, and stayed warm—while Rick opted to sleep outside under a tarp next to a fire like a man auditioning for a show on the History Channel. Then they dig into doing comedy later in life, how it compares to the younger crowd coming up now, and why experience beats chasing trends every time. In the second half, Kathe unveils the latest creations from her Go Cork Yourself collection—hand-painted corks featuring everyone from John Cena to Eleanor Roosevelt to David Hasselhoff. You're going to want one. Possibly several.

Dr. Heather LynnHeather is an author, historian, and renegade archaeologist specializing in the investigation of hidden histories, forbidden artifacts, and the symbolic systems that have shaped human civilization. Known for challenging conventional narratives and making complex historical subjects accessible, she brings a rare interdisciplinary lens to her work.Heather's undergraduate training in archaeology and information technology led to a Master's in History, followed by a Doctorate in Education from the University of New England and a Doctorate in Comparative Religion. Her doctoral research at UNE examined how history museums communicate with the public in the digital age, exploring how institutions shape cultural memory, identity, and civic engagement through technology. This work bridged museum studies, sociology, and communication theory, offering insights into how societies curate their own narratives, and what those choices reveal about power, heritage, and truth.Her current research explores the intersection of archaeology, mythology, and power: forgotten temples, anomalous artifacts, elite rituals, and the selective preservation of history. She does not confine herself to the academic mainstream, nor does she chase the fringe for spectacle.

Why This Episode Matters This milestone 550th episode brings the Business of Story full circle to its foundational inspiration: Joseph Campbell and the Hero's Journey. Host Park Howell interviews John Bucher, PhD, Executive Director of the Joseph Campbell Foundation, revealing why the Hero's Journey is more than a story framework - it's a neurological blueprint for business success. What You'll Discover The Neuroscience of Storytelling Modern research shows the Hero's Journey mirrors the exact neurological patterns your brain uses to solve problems. When you structure business communications around this framework, you're speaking the native language of human decision-making. How Customers Really Make Decisions John Bucher reveals the truth most businesses miss: Customers make emotional decisions first, gather evidence to support those feelings second, then justify logically third. As Robert McKee said, "The conscious mind is simply the PR department that justifies all the decisions the emotional subconscious mind makes." This is why stories (which communicate feelings) are more powerful than data alone. The Two Paths to Business Transformation Discover how the "Call to Adventure" manifests differently for entrepreneurs versus managers: • Entrepreneur's Journey: Driven by dissatisfaction, voluntarily leaves comfort zone, proactively pursues opportunity • Manager's Journey: Forced by circumstances, faces organizational changes, adapts to involuntary transitions Understanding both paths helps you connect with any audience. Your Customer Is the Hero (Not Your Brand) The positioning shift that transforms marketing from pushy to magnetic: Your brand is Yoda, not Luke Skywalker. You're the mentor providing guidance, not the hero seeking glory. John explains: "We all trust ourselves more than we trust anyone else. When we create the framework for listeners to tell themselves the story, it's so much more powerful." What You're Really Selling "Chevrolet doesn't sell automobiles, they sell freedom." Customers don't buy based on specifications - they buy emotional stories about what products enable in their lives. You're selling transformation, not products. From Intuitive to Intentional Storytelling We're all natural storytellers, but there's a difference between intuitive and intentional storytelling. Learn how to replicate storytelling success consistently without becoming a story theorist. The Hero's Journey as Life Instruction Manual Christopher Vogler calls the Hero's Journey "an instruction manual for life." John Bucher agrees: "No matter how good things are going, bad times always come. That road of trials is something we all keep returning to." The framework helps you recognize patterns, identify mentors, and embrace transformation as natural. Guest Expert John Bucher, PhD, is a renowned mythologist and story expert who has been featured on the BBC, the History Channel, the LA Times, The Hollywood Reporter, and numerous other international outlets. He serves as Executive Director for the Joseph Campbell Foundation and is a writer, storyteller, and speaker. John has consulted and worked with government and cultural leaders around the world, as well as organizations such as HBO, DC Comics, Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon, A24 Films, Atlas Obscura, and The John Maxwell Leadership Foundation. He is the author of six influential books on storytelling and has worked with New York Times best-selling authors, YouTube influencers, Eisner winners, Emmy winners, Academy Award nominees, magicians, and cast members from Saturday Night Live. Holding a PhD in Mythology & Depth Psychology, he integrates scholarly insights with practical insights, exploring the profound connections between myth, culture, and personal identity. His expertise has helped shape compelling narratives across various platforms, enriching the way stories are understood, told, and experienced globally. Website: tellingabetterstory.com Episode Highlights • The Deathbringer and Lifebringer Native American story that illustrates what you're really selling in business • Why Joseph Campbell opposed dogmatic application of the Hero's Journey (and championed diverse adaptations) • Park Howell's synchronicity experience: Lights flickering when mentioning Campbell's death anniversary • How Park's career demonstrates multiple hero's journeys (agency founder at 35, story consultant at 55) • The Refusal of the Call in sales: Why customer resistance is a natural stage, not permanent barrier • John Bucher's accidental hero's journey (enrolled in music program, ended up in film/TV by mistake) • The Fundamental Attribution Error and how it affects business communication • Why the Hero's Journey is a form (not formula) - the tango dancing metaphor • How to use storytelling language to create deeper listening and engagement Resources Mentioned Quick Introduction (3 minutes): "What It Takes to Be a Hero" by Matthew Winkler (TED-Ed video) - Created by a teacher to help struggling teens understand they're not alone Accessible Learning: • "The Writer's Journey" by Christopher Vogler (5th edition) • "The Power of Myth" book and PBS series with Bill Moyers (6 one-hour episodes) • "Finding Joe" documentary Deep Study: • "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" by Joseph Campbell (1949 - warning: very arcane) New Release: • "Joseph Campbell on the Hero's Journey" - Joseph Campbell Essentials series pocket gift book (available on Amazon) Business Application: • Story Cycle System by Park Howell • Venables Bell & Partners Audi campaigns (perfect 30-second Hero's Journey examples) Key Quotes John Bucher on Decision-Making: "When we understand story, we start to get shortcuts into the thinking of people behind how they make decisions." On Campbell's Philosophy: "Joseph Campbell was not a fan of dogma. He was interested in putting things out on the table for thoughtful engagement and good conversation." On Story Power: "Stories bypass the head and go straight to the heart. We've heard it all before in business - we're looking for different ways to bring information that hold just a bit of surprise." Park Howell on Intentional Storytelling: "We are all by nature intuitive storytellers. But you can become an intentional storyteller simply by understanding these frameworks." On Story as Operating System: "Storytelling is the software that drives the hardware of the operating system - our meaning-making machine in our limbic system, hippocampus, and amygdala."

If you like watching riding vlogs, motorcycle reviews, or hey, even listening to a moto podcast, you have Genevieve Schmitt to thank for it.Genevieve has blazed her own trail for basically her entire career. From reporting on the seat of a motorcycle on the Speed Channel (and earning the title of first woman to do so) to founding Women Riders Now dot com back in the early 2000s - before most people even thought about launching a motorcycle website - and growing it to an audience reaching the hundreds of thousands, she's led the charge in the industry for not just women in motorcycling, but for any moto-content creator.Genevieve wrote and covered stories from the female perspective, and surprise - it turns out that a whole lot of riders, male and female, appreicated Genevieve's work - sharing her opinions on industry trends, motorcycle legislation, and reviewing bikes from not just stats from a spec sheet, but how a motorcycle actually makes you feel when you ride it.There's a reason she's has earned the the title of “top 100 leaders in powersports”, too - Genevieve has toured the country giving seminars on introducing women to motorcycling, she's been featured on the History Channel, ABC News, USA Today, The New York Times, and more, and she's scooped up industry awards left and right, including the AMA's Bessie Stringfield award.

Sean Mason stands as one of the most compelling jazz pianists, composers, and record producers of his generation. A Grammy Award nominee, Bessie Award winner, and Bistro Award recipient, Mason has quickly distinguished himself in contemporary music through his innovative approach and profound connection to jazz tradition. His discography, highlighted by his critically acclaimed 2023 debut album The Southern Suite and Grammy-nominated collaborations, reflects an artist of significant impact on the global jazz landscape. Mason's musical journey began at age 13 in his native Charlotte, North Carolina, where he taught himself piano, influenced by gospel music and the music of Ray Charles. At 15, his talent led him to enroll in the JazzArts Initiative Camp in Charlotte, North Carolina. At age 17, Mason won the inaugural Loonis McGlohon Young Jazz Competition, an award that included an opportunity to perform as guest soloist with Delfeayo Marsalis. A pivotal moment arrived in 2017 while Mason was attending the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). He met Branford Marsalis, who was giving lessons there. Marsalis, recalling their encounter, recounted how Mason impressed him by quickly learning and memorizing complex pieces. Marsalis subsequently advised Mason to consider The Juilliard School, telling him directly: "You might want to consider Juilliard. Go to their website, put in your audition tape, and they will call you." He also contacted his brother, Wynton Marsalis, Director of Juilliard Jazz, asking him to "Be on the lookout for this kid." This significant endorsement propelled Mason to Juilliard, where he was accepted and enrolled in 2018, leading to his relocation to New York City for his studies. Upon arriving in New York in 2018, Mason quickly established himself in the city's jazz scene through his work as a sideman. Concurrently, he formed his own trio, featuring bassist Butler Knowles and drummer Malcolm Charles. This trio performed at notable New York City jazz venues such as Dizzy's Club and Smoke Jazz Club. From 2019 to early 2020, Mason's trio cultivated a dedicated following through a consistent after-hours residency at Smalls Jazz Club, performing every other Monday, from 1:00 AM to 4:00 AM. This residency continued until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. During this initial period in New York, Mason also contributed as the pianist for the soundtrack of the 2020 Netflix film Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. The years following the pandemic saw Mason continue his vital work as a sideman, touring globally with various artists and contributing to numerous album recordings. His versatility expanded into film and theatre; he served as pianist for the soundtrack of the 2021 Emmy-nominated History Channel documentary Tulsa Burning: The 1921 Race Massacre, and the Netflix film Rustin. In theatre, Mason was involved in various musical roles for Broadway productions such as Hadestown and Phantom of the Opera.. During this time, Mason also served as musical director for The Soapbox Presents, a Harlem-based performing arts organization. In August 2022, Mason was recognized by NPR's Jazz Night in America as a member of their inaugural Youngbloods class, a sub-series featuring up-and-coming jazz musicians acknowledged for revolutionizing the genre. Also in 2022, Mason formed his quintet, the ensemble featured on his debut album The Southern Suite. This group, consisting of Tony Glausi (trumpet), Chris Lewis (tenor saxophone), Felix Moseholm (bass), and Domo Branch (drums), performed on a two-week tour sponsored and presented by Jazz at Lincoln Center as part of an initiative to develop new music. On October 27, 2023, he released his debut album as a leader, The Southern Suite, on Blue Engine Records, Jazz at Lincoln Center's in-house label. This marks Mason's emergence as a formidable bandleader, composer, and recording artist. Featuring his quintet, the album received widespread critical acclaim. Jazziz Magazine praised its "captivating blend of sophistication and raw emotion," noting its "contemporary jazz sound rooted in tradition while remaining utterly fresh." Paris-Move lauded it as "a powerful and sophisticated work" and "a masterpiece of contemporary jazz." NPR recognized the album as part of his "meteoric rise" and praised its unique sound. The Southern Suite is a deeply personal exploration of Mason's North Carolina roots, woven into a cohesive artistic statement. Mason's artistic contributions were further recognized with a Bessie Award in 2023 for Outstanding Sound Design and Music Composition for his work on The Jazz Continuum. His creative spirit continued to flourish in 2024 with two notable co-releases. He joined forces with poet Mahogany L. Browne for Chrome Valley, a project that uniquely blends jazz with spoken word. The same year, on August 23, 2024, Mason's collaborative album My Ideal with acclaimed vocalist Catherine Russell arrived on Dot Time Records. This duo album quickly earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. My Ideal was further honored with a 2025 Bistro Award for Outstanding Recording, with critics frequently commending Mason's "sophisticated and nuanced piano playing" and his profound ability to complement Russell's vocals through a deep understanding of jazz standards. Today, Sean Mason maintains an active and extensive international performance schedule as a bandleader and solo artist. He consistently presents at major jazz festivals and prestigious venues across the globe, solidifying his position as a dynamic and influential force in contemporary jazz.

In the summer of 1960, seven-year-old Roger Woodward was just a kid looking forward to a boat ride on the Niagara River to celebrate his sister's birthday—he had no idea he was about to experience something that should have been impossible. When a simple mechanical failure turned their peaceful afternoon into a nightmare, Roger found himself being swept toward the edge of Niagara Falls, powerless against 750,000 gallons of water rushing past him every second. What followed was a series of moments so improbable, so perfectly timed, that witnesses called it a miracle—from his sister's desperate fight for survival just feet from the brink, to Roger's own journey over a 188-foot waterfall. This is the story of the boy who fell into Niagara Falls and lived, and the ordinary people who became heroes in the most extraordinary circumstances.

As the world reacts to the long awaited Stranger Things series finale, Ryan speaks with filmmaker Chris Garetano about the chilling real world legends that helped inspire the show, the Montauk Project at Camp Hero. Officially a decommissioned military base, Camp Hero has long been rumored to be the site of covert government experiments involving mind control, LSD testing, child abductions, non human contact, and even time manipulation, echoing real programs like MK Ultra. Garetano, whose investigations include the documentary The Montauk Chronicles and the History Channel series The Dark Files, breaks down firsthand testimony, corroborated accounts, and disturbing evidence gathered over years of research. Together, they explore where science fiction ends, where history begins, and why the truth behind Montauk may be far darker and more real than Stranger Things ever imagined.

Ten days of agony later, the world's most powerful man was dead at 32, his vast empire fracturing into chaos. History calls it fever or fate. But Graham Phillips, in his explosive book Alexander the Great: Murder in Babylon, proves it was deliberate murder by poison. Using forensic toxicology, eyewitness accounts, and palace intrigue, Phillips exposes a shocking truth: the killer wasn't a rival general, but someone in Alexander's most intimate circle—a woman history has long underestimated. A conspiracy that rewrites the ancient world. GUEST: Graham Phillips is a former BBC radio journalist and bestselling historical investigator who specializes in solving centuries-old mysteries. Known for his rigorous, detective-style approach, he has authored acclaimed books on King Arthur, the Holy Grail, and the Templars. In Alexander the Great: Murder in Babylon, he collaborated with toxicologists and the Los Angeles Police Department to re-examine ancient sources, uncovering compelling evidence of foul play in the conqueror's death. A frequent contributor to History Channel shows like Ancient Aliens and The UnXplained, Phillips brings forensic precision and narrative flair to the shadows of history.
