Should students be completing pages of practice each night, or is there a better way to extend learning beyond the classroom?Rather than asking whether homework should exist, perhaps the better question is: What purpose should it serve? In this episode, we explore what meaningful math homework could look like if it were designed to reinforce learning instead of creating stress. From fluency games and student choice to strengthening home-school partnerships and building productive routines, we discuss how homework can become a purposeful extension of classroom learning without overwhelming students or families. We also examine why homework shouldn't be used to evaluate student learning and how teachers can use classroom formative assessment to understand what students know instead. In this episode, you'll explore:The purpose of homework in mathematics educationWhy less homework can often lead to better learningHow choice and flexibility can make homework more meaningfulWays to strengthen partnerships between home and school through homeworkWhy homework shouldn't be used as evidence for gradesAlternatives to whole-class homework review that maximize instructional timeConsiderations for school and district homework policiesIf you're rethinking the role homework plays in your mathematics classroom or school, this episode offers practical ideas for creating homework experiences that reinforce learning, engage families, and make better use of valuable instructional time.Show Notes PageLove the show?

This episode covers the start of chapter 35 to: “... Let us see whether Elias will come to save him.” Starting with sharing our initial impressions and expectations of this great chapter, we highlighted its connections between Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. We then delve into the nuanced relationship between John the Baptist and Jesus Christ, exploring Paramahansa Yogananda's intuition that they were the reincarnations of Elijah and Elisha. We discuss the concept of reincarnation in Christianity, its historical suppression, and its implications for understanding spiritual evolution, examining biblical passages and stories from the Old Testament, such as the mantle passing from Elijah to Elisha, and reflected on the significance of guru-disciple relationships.  00:00 Introduction; 1:10 Expectations from the chapter; 7:20 Jesus honours his Guru; 21:10 The prophecy of Elijah's return; 26:34 Christ reveals the truth; 35:15 The eternal bond of Guru and disciple; 39:40 Looking Ahead. Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the next part of chapter 35 from: “The timeless bond of guru and disciple that existed between John and Jesus...” to “... obeisance toward the guru is an ancient Oriental custom.” #autobiographyofayogi  #autobiographylinebyline  #paramahansayogananda Autobiography of a Yogi awake.minute Self-Realization Fellowship Yogoda Satsanga Society of India #SRF #YSS

Episode Description "Sometimes the hardest goodbye isn't to a person. It's to the life you built." In this episode of Grieve That Sh!t, Sharon Brubaker, grief specialist and founder of The Grief School, sits down with senior transition specialist Felicia Tausig for an eye-opening conversation about one of the most overlooked forms of grief: leaving the home you've built a lifetime of memories in. When we think about grief, we often think about death. But grief also shows up when life changes. When it's time to downsize. When a diagnosis changes the future. When a spouse is no longer there. When the family home no longer fits the next season of life. Together, Sharon and Felicia explore the emotional side of downsizing, why seniors often struggle to let go of possessions, and how every room, photograph, and keepsake tells a story worth honoring. They also discuss how adult children can better support their parents through these transitions, why patience matters, and how memories don't live inside our belongings. They live inside us. This episode is a powerful reminder that letting go of a house doesn't mean letting go of a life. Because home isn't just a place. It's the love, memories, and relationships you carry with you. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why downsizing can be a profound grieving experience The emotional attachment seniors have to their homes and belongings How adult children can support parents through major life transitions Why every keepsake tells a story Practical ways to honor memories without keeping every possession How grief shows up during retirement, aging, and changing seasons of life Why patience and compassion matter during transitions How creating new routines helps ease the emotional adjustment Questions to Sit With After Listening What memories am I holding onto through my possessions? How can I honor my past while embracing my next chapter? Am I giving myself or my loved one permission to grieve this transition? What does "home" truly mean to me? Homework for You Choose one meaningful item in your home. Take a photo of it. Write down the story behind it and why it matters to you. Then ask yourself: "Is it the object I'm holding onto... or the memory?" Because memories don't disappear when things do. They continue to live in the stories we tell and the people we share them with. Resources + Next Steps

Active fund managers have a new explanation for years of underperformance: index funds have made their old job harder. Don and Tom examine that award-winning excuse, revisit how indexing reshaped the business, and return to the stubborn arithmetic—when active management charges more, matching the market still means losing to it after fees.Listener questions widen the lens. A UK investor wants to move from 60/40 to 50/50 without taking needless currency risk, while a family needs a sensible plan for a $200,000 windfall, a near-term car purchase, Roth contributions, and the money left for a brokerage account.The show closes with a federal retiree's TSP allocation and a critique of an AI-built income portfolio stuffed with dividend funds.

This headline formula works for every customer...confident or not! This week, Nate breaks down a single copywriting structure he's tested across every brand he's worked with: "Our [product] is [adjective] and [adjective], just like the [customers] who use it." Sounds simple. The psychology behind it pretty complex though! We dig into why this format hits differently, how it flatters the buyer who already sees themselves that way, and motivates the one who wants to. Plus: how to pick the adjectives that actually do the heavy lifting, why customer reviews are the starting point (not the finish line), and how the winning words from a headline test should be dictating your next photo shoot.

This week, education gets artificial and prison security goes prehistoric.First, the company behind Realbotix is pitching schools on humanoid AI teacher assistants, because apparently the journey from crypto to adult companionship to high-school STEM education is now a perfectly normal corporate career path. Could a lifelike robot help teenagers learn science, or will “Sally” spend the semester explaining algebra to students desperately searching for her off switch?Then, Israel clears a regulatory path that could allow Nile crocodiles to guard prisons and discourage escape attempts. That's right, razor wire and watchtowers may soon be joined by several tons of hungry, armored swamp dinosaur with absolutely no respect for visitation hours.Join us as we examine AI robot teachers, crocodile prison guards, and the continuing global effort to turn everyday life into a low-budget science-fiction movie.

Chapter 1: The Trap of Practicing in a Vacuum (00:00 – 04:28) Anne introduces Tom Dheere and lays out the core mystery: why do highly talented voice actors stop booking? Tom references Jeff Colvin's landmark book Talent is Overrated, breaking down how elite performers across industries (like Tiger Woods or Mozart) rely entirely on the quantity and quality of deliberate practice. He warns that a massive trap for rising talent is practicing in a vacuum. Without a performance coach or objective professional director to provide constructive feedback, talent listen back to their files with subjective, untrained ears and end up cementing bad structural habits. Chapter 2: Reps vs. Experimentation (04:29 – 07:34) Anne highlights why she assigns rigorous homework to her students—not to cause stress, but to build operational muscle memory. She notes that the real learning happens in the quiet moments between sessions when a student forces themselves to analyze, record, edit, and upload a new script daily. Tom introduces a vital distinction between practice and experimentation. Practice is the mechanical repetition of reps. Experimentation means putting on a psychological "lab coat" to explore diverse emotional subtexts—such as shifting a line from frustration to envy or adoration—ensuring an actor doesn't get stuck in an undirectable rut. Chapter 3: The Intention of the Copywriter (07:35 – 10:21) Anne shares an anecdote from a recent group class where a copywriter validated her baseline training philosophy: every single word on a script was written with explicit intention and purpose. If an actor rushes into their home studio and records an audition without investigating why those specific words exist on the page, the resulting delivery sounds flat, stereotypical, and contrived. Chapter 4: The 500-File Slush Pile (10:22 – 12:47) Tom provides a sobering glimpse into the brutal logistics of a major casting call. When a director receives 500 auditions for a single corporate or commercial spot: The first 100 files are instantly deleted because they failed to follow basic filename formatting rules. The next 100 files are discarded because the talent slipped into a sterile, melodic announcer cadence (da-da-da-da-da-da) within the first five seconds. The final selection comes down to the actors who make strong, distinct, and logical choices right out of the gate, honoring the semantic hierarchy of the text. Chapter 5: Overworking the File vs. Seeking the Truth (12:48 – 15:35) Anne and Tom warn against letting the pendulum swing too far in the opposite direction. New voice actors frequently overwork an audition, recording multiple takes and over-analyzing their delivery until the final file sounds heavily manufactured and performative. Tom shares a brilliant rule from legendary audiobook narrator Johnny Heller: your primary job in every single genre of voiceover is to seek the text's truth. Whether you are reading a cinematic historical narrative or shouting about used cars for an auto lot, you must deliver a believable, raw human point of view. Chapter 6: The Demographic Filter & Fresh Batteries (15:36 – 22:14) The hosts tackle the reality of the demographic filter. A voice actor can turn in a technically flawless, award-worthy performance but still lose the job simply because their voice print doesn't line up with the specific targeted audience (e.g., Medicare recipients vs. baseball fans). Tom notes that modern buyers have fresh batteries in their "BS detectors" and demand peer-to-peer authenticity. Anne shares that her highest-booking auditions are consistently the ones she treated as an honest interaction, rather than trying to match an artificial melody she imagined hearing on the air. Chapter 7: The Meta-Data of the 3 Portals (22:15 – End) Tom delivers a masterclass in tracking business metrics, revealing that he completed exactly 1,492 auditions in 2024 and 1,659 auditions in 2025. By auditing his spreadsheets, Tom discovered a powerful pattern: 75% of his total voiceover revenue is generated by repeat business, while 25% comes from direct auditions. He shares how analyzing his booked auditions across his Three Portals (Representation, Online Casting, and Self-Marketing) allowed him to track shifting industry trends, noticing his bookings naturally migrated from bright, casual tones in 2024 toward heavy, chesty gravitas in 2025. Top 10 Boss Takeaways Talent is just the baseline: Possessing a natural storytelling gene means nothing if you fail to develop your technical skills. Focus heavily on mastering Colvin's principle of deliberate, high-quality practice. Stop listening with subjective ears: Practicing in isolation reinforces bad booth habits. Invest in an objective performance coach or a verified industry peer who will give you hard, honest structural feedback. Master the complete production sequence: Homework isn't just about vocal tracking. Use your practice hours to master script analysis, audio file editing, and data uploading so your operational pipeline becomes seamless. Put on the psychological lab coat: Avoid getting married to a single vocal delivery. Force yourself to run script experiments using contrasting emotional anchors—like shifting from clinical authority to friendly advice—to keep your performance fluid and directable. Honor the copywriter's intent: Copywriters spend hours fine-tuning text to hit specific marketing targets. Honor their labor by uncovering the specific purpose behind every noun, adjective, and punctuation mark before you hit record. Eliminate the mechanical announcer cadence: Buyers will tune you out within the first three seconds if you slip into a predictive, rhythmic vocal melody. Make a distinct, grounded acting choice right out of the gate. Adhere strictly to filename data specs: If a casting notice requests a specific label format (e.g., LastName_FirstName_Brand.mp3), follow it to the letter. Casting directors handle hundreds of files and will delete non-compliant data instantly without listening. Ditch the 15-take audition spiral: Over-analyzing your audio files destroys human naturalness. Cap yourself at three distinct takes, select the most honest file, delete the structural waste, and submit. Balance your Three Portals synergetically: Do not pass judgment on specific marketing avenues. Representation, Online Casting (Pay-to-Plays), and Self-Marketing exist in a synergistic loop—improving your output on one portal naturally sharpens your conversion rate on the others. Track your business meta-data to spot trends: Log every single audition, portal source, genre, and booking. Stepping back quarterly to track structural patterns will show you exactly which vocal signatures are driving revenue in the current marketplace.  

What to listen for:“You can still support your dog, but you do not have to step in and solve [the problem].”Our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, sit down with returning guest Bob Deeds to unpack a week of Intentional Handling and Hide Setting, the detection camp the two hosts built years ago and this year expanded to fifteen students running six searches a day!Held on Robin's working farm, the course throws teams (Papillons alongside Malinois, cadaver handlers alongside sport dog people) into barns full of donkey dung, hay fields, and wind that Bob, fresh from Texas, learns shifts hourly in Iowa.Hides "misbehave": they migrate, vanish with the moving sun, or disappear when a tractor pulls away from a scent pool.Rather than solving the problem for their dogs, handlers are coached to read arousal. The dog owns exactly one job, the trained behavior; the handler owns everything else.By week's end, students are setting their own hides, and handling that once looked frantic becomes nearly invisible. That's proof, Bob argues, that intentional handling builds teamwork rather than dependence.Homework matters as much as class time, too. Students now film their runs and coaching, and by day four they're self-correcting before anyone says a word. There's been so much success this year that Robin, Stacy, and Bob are already looking toward next year's version of the course! Key Topics:A Bigger, Reimagined Intentional Handling and Hide Setting Week (01:39)Building Systematic Toughness (04:56)When Hides Misbehave: Wind, Sun, and a Living Working Farm (10:50)Trainer Ethics and Why Students Should Design Their Own Hides (18:49)The Bowling Alley Analogy and a Live Lesson in Canine Stress Signals (25:23)The Wagon Wheel, Heads-Up Display, and Handler Challenges (30:50)The Donut of Effectiveness and Cyclical "Spinning Plates" Training (40:34)Key Takeaways (44:02)We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Recorded on the road in San Francisco between speaking engagements, Sean Barnes breaks down what executive presence actually is and why it gets misread as something you are born with. He walks through the three pieces that build it: how you show up, how you communicate, and whether you genuinely care about the person in front of you. He explains why people size you up in a split second before you say a word, why clear communication signals competence, and why giving more value than you take is the most underrated career move there is. He closes with a homework assignment for anyone who wants to start building presence this week.   Key Moments 00:00 - On the road in San Francisco between speaking engagements 00:26 - Why executive presence keeps coming up in post stage conversations 00:42 - The question introverts always ask him 01:11 - Pillar one: how you show up, starting with posture 01:39 - People start making judgments before you say a word 02:10 - Why being clean cut and put together builds trust 02:42 - Pillar two: how you communicate and why clarity matters 03:15 - What fumbling your words signals to the room 03:26 - These skills stack on top of each other 03:40 - Pillar three: genuinely caring about people 04:08 - What real listening unlocks in a conversation 04:40 - Articulating someone's pain better than they can 05:03 - Give more value than you take from every interaction 05:51 - Slowing down and investing in people who may never repay it 06:19 - Why goodwill compounds over time 06:41 - Becoming the first name that comes to mind 06:57 - How the three pieces combine into presence 07:31 - More opportunities means more ability to impact others 07:49 - Homework: be intentional before you walk into the room     Key Takeaways Presence is decided before you speak. Posture, eye level, and how put together you are all get read within seconds of entering a room. Clarity is credibility. If you cannot string together a cohesive thought, people will not trust you to lead one. Caring is the multiplier. Listening deeply and giving more than you take builds goodwill that compounds long after the conversation ends.   Podcast Show Notes – Episode 292 | 07.28.2026 Episode Title: Executive Presence Starts Before You Speak   Host: Sean Barnes Wolf Executives, Houston, TX   Website: https://www.wolfexecutives.com   https://www.seanbarnes.com   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanbarnes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/wolfexecutives https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewayofthewolf/ LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7284600567593684993/   Twitter: https://x.com/seanbarnes https://x.com/wolfexecutives   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_seanbarnes https://www.instagram.com/wolfexecutives   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_seanbarnes   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theseanbarnes

Planning your Disney vacation can be magical...until dining reservations, dining plans, influencer recommendations, and festival food all start competing for your attention.In this episode, Scott and Candice take an honest look at how their approach to Disney dining has changed over the years. Once enthusiastic supporters of the Disney Dining Plan, they've discovered that the "best value" isn't always the best vacation—and that sometimes less planning actually creates a better experience.Along the way, they discuss:• Why the Disney Dining Plan doesn't feel quite the same anymore• How dining reservations have become one of the most stressful parts of planning a trip• The influence social media has on restaurant popularity—and why you shouldn't always follow the crowd• Balancing table service meals with EPCOT festival booths• Whether Disney should introduce a snack-only dining plan• Restaurants and food that lived up to the hype—and a few that didn't• Why lounges like Nomad Lounge and GEO-82 are becoming some of their favorite Disney experiences• The importance of researching restaurants without overthinking every meal• How travel professionals can help simplify the planning process• Why food should enhance your vacation—not become homeworkYou'll also hear Scott pitch a (mostly tongue-in-cheek...mostly) Disney World bar crawl idea that just might deserve a patent.Whether you're planning your first Walt Disney World vacation or your fifteenth, this conversation is all about finding the dining experiences that fit *your* travel style instead of chasing someone else's must-do list.Because at the end of the day, the best Disney meal isn't necessarily the hardest reservation to get—it's the one that makes your vacation even more magical.---**Question of the Week:**What's your perfect Disney dining vibe? Fancy signature dining, character meals, festival booths, or simply great food in a uniquely Disney setting?Let us know on Facebook or Instagram—we'd love to hear your favorite Disney dining experiences!Follow us:

Episode Description "Healing doesn't mean you stop loving them. It means love becomes louder than the pain." In this episode of Grieve That Sh!t, Sharon Brubaker, grief specialist and founder of The Grief School, sits down with Becky for a deeply honest conversation about losing her 23-year-old son, Ashton, and the complicated layers of grief that followed. Together, they explore not only the heartbreak of child loss, but also the hidden losses that often go unseen and unspoken. Becky shares what life looked like before grief, the overwhelming regret and "what ifs" that consumed her after her son's death, and how she believed she would spend the rest of her life trapped in unbearable pain. Through her journey, she discovered that grief doesn't have to define the rest of your story. Together, Sharon and Becky discuss the importance of grieving every loss, the healing that comes from processing grief instead of avoiding it, and how combining grief work with therapy gave Becky the tools to begin living again. They also explore parenting through grief, the role of community, survivor's guilt, regrets, and why healing doesn't erase love—it allows love to shine through once more. This episode is a powerful reminder that grief may change you forever. But it doesn't have to leave you stuck forever. Because healing doesn't ask you to let go of the person you love. It teaches you how to carry them with you as you continue to live. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why grief often includes hidden losses we don't recognize at first How regret and "what if" thinking can keep us feeling stuck The unique challenges of grieving a child Why grief work and therapy can complement one another The difference between surviving grief and truly healing How unprocessed grief affects every part of your life Why support groups, therapy, and grief education each serve different purposes How healing allows joyful memories to return without diminishing love Why investing in your healing benefits everyone around you Questions to Sit With After Listening What regrets have I been carrying that need compassion instead of punishment? Am I surviving my grief, or am I actively working through it? What hidden losses have I never given myself permission to grieve? What would healing make possible in my relationships and daily life? Homework for You Take a few quiet moments today and write down one regret you've been carrying. Then ask yourself: "What would I say to someone I love if they carried this same regret?" Offer yourself that same compassion. Healing begins when we stop punishing ourselves for being human. Because love was never meant to be measured by pain. It's meant to be carried forward.

July 23, 2026: I look at Google's Atlas study, which analyzed nearly 15 million Gemini interactions and found that AI use at work is broad but still shallow. Then I get into new research showing students who used AI for homework performed better at first, but saw major drops in exam scores later. Finally, I unpack Anthropic chief economist Peter McCrory's argument for why AI has not raised unemployment yet: it is still amplifying human expertise more than replacing it.  

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't a lack of talent—but a lack of honesty with yourself? In this solo episode of Harder Than Life, Kelly shares a personal story about watching his podcast stall for months and realizing that the real problem wasn't the strategy—it was his unwillingness to speak the truth. That breakthrough became a lesson on radical honesty: the practice of confronting reality instead of avoiding it. Kelly explains why many of us stay stuck by protecting other people's feelings, rewarding effort over outcomes, and ignoring the data that's right in front of us. This episode offers practical tools for having honest conversations, setting clear expectations, creating stronger boundaries, and making decisions based on facts instead of fear. If you've been tolerating situations you know need to change, this conversation will challenge you to stop avoiding the truth—and start acting on it. Key Topics:

This episode covers the next part of chapter 34 frrom: “How remote seemed my family, the office, the world, as I…”  to “...This is some daydream you have recounted.” This section of the chapter focuses on Lahiri Mahashaya's final moments in the hewavely Himalayas and with Mahavatar Babaji, with his plea to relax the rigid rules governing Kriya Yoga transmission. We explored how Babaji agreed to allow Lahiri to share Kriya with sincere seekers who couldn't commit to complete renunciation, reflecting a compassionate approach to spiritual practice in their current age. The discussion covered the threefold sufferings (physical, mental, and spiritual) that people experience, the requirements for Kriya initiation including the 6-month preliminary practice period, and the importance of proper guidance from monks and nuns during the application process. We also absorv Babaji's promise to assume life-after-life responsibility for initiated Kriyabans and discussed how even small spiritual practices can provide protection and benefit seekers on their path to liberation. 00:00 Introduction; 0:55 Prior Episode; 1:45 Opening the door of kriya; 16:40 Attention all SRF-YSS Students; 32:09 Even a little practice...; 48:26 Doubting Thomas settled in India; 57:48 Looking Ahead. Links discussed in this episode: https://yogananda.org/request-prayers https://yogananda.org/kriya-yoga-lessons Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the last part of chapter 34 from: “Burning with the enthusiasm of truth, I spoke without due thought...” to the end of the chapter.  #autobiographyofayogi  #autobiographylinebyline  #paramahansayogananda Autobiography of a Yogi awake.minute Self-Realization Fellowship Yogoda Satsanga Society of India #SRF #YSS

Episode Description "You don't have to have all the answers to begin healing." In this episode of Grieve That Sh!t, Sharon Brubaker, grief specialist and founder of The Grief School, sits down with therapist and grieving mother Joanna Martinez Dunn for an honest conversation about losing a child, navigating unimaginable grief, and finding hope after life's deepest heartbreak. After experiencing profound loss within her family in a matter of weeks, Joanna found herself facing overwhelming grief, unanswered questions, survivor's guilt, and the difficult journey of learning how to move forward one day at a time. Together, Sharon and Joanna explore the unique challenges of grieving a child, the relentless search for answers, the emotional and physical impact of grief, and why healing begins when we stop trying to explain what cannot always be understood. They also discuss parenting through grief, the role of faith and community, the importance of asking for help, and how honoring the people we love allows us to carry them forward with us. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing doesn't require having every answer. It simply asks you to keep showing up. Because healing doesn't happen by forgetting. It happens by learning how to carry love forward. What You'll Learn in This Episode The unique challenges of grieving the loss of a child Why survivor's guilt can feel so overwhelming How grief affects the mind, body, and nervous system The difference between surviving and truly healing Why unanswered questions don't have to stop your healing How faith and community can provide support through grief Why asking for help is one of the bravest things you can do The importance of speaking your loved one's name and honoring their memory How healing can eventually lead to purpose and hope Questions to Sit With After Listening What questions have I been carrying that may never have an answer? Am I allowing myself to experience my grief, or am I trying to outrun it? Who can I reach out to when my grief feels too heavy to carry alone? How can I honor the person I love while continuing to move forward? Homework for You Take a few quiet moments today and write down the name of the person you're grieving. Then write: One memory that makes you smile. One lesson they taught you. One way you can carry their love forward this week. Because love doesn't end when someone's life does. It continues in the way we choose to remember, honor, and live. Resources + Next Steps

In Episode 461, Madden and Kolsky begin by acknowledging a first-time occurrence in pod history as they get into: Steven Soderbergh’s Full Circle (2:05) which as it turns out, our hosts watched several years ago when it was released and simply forgot about… Apple TV+’s new action show Lucky (8:05) and how it has a lot of good qualities—Anya Taylor-Joy, an interesting story, some good characters—but in light of the Full Circle experience it’s hard to say whether it will be memorable… The film Project Hail Mary (13:25) and how it is an absolute home run of a summer blockbuster, with an incredible acting performance from Ryan Gosling and pitch-perfect storytelling that left both our hosts in tears… Some sports talk (20:25) with Derek’s disgust for the Argentine National Team and a look forward to an exciting World Cup final and Kolsky’s excitement about the Caleb Era in Chicago sports… Homework for THREE WEEKS FROM TODAY (8/7), after a well deserved break (39:50), including: the newest season of The Challenge with a return to the Cuthroat format, the new Christopher Nolan film The Odyssey, the returns of beloved TV shows Ted Lasso and Special Ops: Lioness, and the new Amazon Prime show Ride or Die… Enjoy the rest of July!!

This episode covers the next part of chapter 34 from: “How remote seemed my family, the office, the world, as I…”  to “...This is some daydream you have recounted.” This episode covers the final stages Lahiri Mahasaya's initiation into Kriya yoga, where Mahavatar Babaji demonstrated materialisation abilities by creating a palace and a bowl of plenty that could fulfill any desire. We explored the philosophical implications of these miracles, comparing them to similar abilities described in other spiritual texts, and examined Lahiri's subsequent seven-day experience in Nirbikalpa Samadhi. We also discussed the significance of Lahiri's role as an ideal yogi householder in Benares, rather than remaining in the Himalayas with Babaji, emphasising that spiritual advancement is possible for those living ordinary lives with family and work responsibilities. 00:00 Introduction; 0:45 Prior Episode; 2:27 The bowl of endless plenty; 23:00 Nirbikalpa Samadhi; 35:00 The life of a householder 56:00 Looking Ahead. Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the next part of chapter 34 from: “How remote seemed my family, the office, the world, as I…”  to “...This is some daydream you have recounted.” #autobiographyofayogi  #autobiographylinebyline  #paramahansayogananda Autobiography of a Yogi awake.minute Self-Realization Fellowship Yogoda Satsanga Society of India #SRF #YSS

Stop Having Shallow Conversations: 3 Simple Tools to Get People Talking TalkDoc & Co. discuss how shallow, unsatisfying conversations often come from asking too many closed or leading questions and not “hanging around” for the answer. They define closed vs. open questions and explain that opening the pathway requires commitment to listen without confirming a prewritten narrative. They share three practical tools to help others talk more: asking more open questions, using mirroring (repeating one or two key words from someone's statement with respectful tone, as popularized by Chris Voss), and prompting with fill-in-the-blank fragments like “And that's because…” or “So you feel…,” paired with longer wait time and silence. They note research that getting an interviewer to talk can increase likability, but warn not to use these tools with overly negative or toxic people.

Episode Description "You don't need more time. You need a plan." In this episode of Grieve That Sh!t, Sharon Brubaker, grief specialist and founder of The Grief School, challenges one of the biggest lies grieving people have been told: "Just give it time." Time doesn't heal grief. It simply creates space. What you do with that space is what changes everything. Sharon explains why so many grievers stay stuck for years—not because they're broken, but because no one ever taught them how to grieve. We learn how to survive loss, but not how to process it. In this episode, Sharon shares the difference between surviving and healing, why grief needs structure instead of avoidance, and how unprocessed pain continues to affect your relationships, your body, your emotions, and your daily life. She also walks through the three phases of grief healing, the purpose behind The Grief School, and why grief isn't something you're meant to carry alone. Because grief changes your life. But it doesn't have to define the rest of it. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why time alone doesn't heal grief The difference between surviving and processing grief Why so many grievers feel stuck for years How grief affects the mind, body, and nervous system Why avoiding grief keeps the pain alive The three phases of grief healing What it means to move through grief with intention Why healing begins with structure, not just support Questions to Sit With After Listening Am I surviving my grief or actively healing it? What have I been waiting for time to fix? What parts of my grief have I been avoiding? What would change if I had a clear plan for my healing? Homework for You Take out a journal and answer this question: "What is my current plan for healing?" If your answer is simply "I'm waiting for time," ask yourself: "What if time isn't the plan?" Write down one action you can take this week to begin processing your grief instead of simply surviving it. Because healing begins with one intentional step. Resources + Next Steps

What if the most powerful fundraising tool you have isn't your data? It could be a single five-second moment.Great missions don't always speak for themselves. Social entrepreneurs are often sitting on compelling, real-world stories (the very reason they started their work) but struggle to translate that into messaging that actually moves people. Adam breaks down why that gap exists and what to do about it.Drawing on Matthew Dicks' Storyworthy and Donald Miller's Building a StoryBrand, Adam walks through a practical framework for finding the emotional core of any story: a five-second moment of transformation. Once you know that moment, you know where your story ends and where it needs to begin. From there, it's about knowing your audience and placing them at the center of the journey, not yourself.The conversation also gets into the unglamorous, everyday work of building a story practice: brain dumps, voice notes, and logging small moments before they disappear. And for organizations working with vulnerable populations, Adam addresses the ethics of capturing others' stories, including consent, anonymization, and fair compensation. Real-world examples from Hot Chicken Takeover and Goodwill illustrate what it looks like when impact is woven into the business model rather than bolted on as an afterthought.Episode in a glance00:00 The Power of Impact Storytelling02:34 The five-second moment of transformation (Matthew Dicks)03:31 Know your audience before you craft your story04:04 The classroom example: one story, three different audiences07:19 Placing your customer as the hero (Donald Miller)10:08 Frameworks for Effective Storytelling11:34 "Homework for Life" and capturing stories daily12:36 Adam's brain dump system for social media content15:42 Ethical storytelling with vulnerable populations17:26 Hot Chicken Takeover: lead with product, not mission18:32 Goodwill as a model for impact woven into the business20:10 Ethical Storytelling and PracticeResources MentionedStoryworthy by Matthew Dicks Building a StoryBrand by Donald Miller

LeBron James didn't just become the most famous athlete on Earth — he became one of its most careful, and occasionally most explosive, political voices. In the most contentious episode of our LeBron series, Dan, Amin and Izzy trace the moments that turned a basketball player into a lightning rod: The Trayvon Martin hoodie photo — and Dan's own take on it at the time, warts and all. The killing of Tamir Rice, and the "I Can't Breathe" shirt that, in the moment, didn't include his name. The ESPYs speech. The White House years, plural. The Bubble. And the legacy that's still being argued over, for better or worse. With firsthand memories from Jemele Hill and Cari Champion, plus a LeBron teammate history conveniently forgot.
