Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to three prior guests of the podcast who are talking to us in the boldest experiment in Rarified Heir Podcast history! How so? We are talking to them all at once. Something we had never done before. But don't fret, Carnie Wilson, Jenny Brill and Shawn Kay have been friends for quite a long time and, in fact, they know each other and host Josh Mills from as far back as elementary school. There are laughs and some tears on this one. Since the time of this recording, sadly we have lost two of the celebrity parents of our guests, as both Mitzi McCall, mother of Jenny Brill and Brian Wilson, father of Carnie Wilson have both passed away as of this encore episode. While it puts things in perspective rather quickly, it also helps us to realize that the entire point of this podcast is to make sure that in this fast paced world, we don't forget the names and stories about some of the most beloved entertainers of the 20th century. And with that in mind, this episode is a rollicking one, a bit experimental as we said but also fast paced, filled with childhood memories and what it was like not only growing up the child of a celebrity but also with friends whose parents were also celebrities. We get into some ridiculous tales about the Oakwood school where they all met, insane stories about album jackets as modes of transportation and a nostalgic trip down a very 1970s memory lane. Which begs the question, just how did the children of Mitzi McCall, Charlie Brill, John Kay, Brian Wilson and Marilyn Wilson get along? In a word? Famously. Take a listen.
Everyone Is Protecting My Password, But Who Is Protecting My Toilet Paper? - Interview with Amberley Brady | AISA CyberCon Melbourne 2025 Coverage | On Location with Sean Martin and Marco CiappelliAISA CyberCon Melbourne | October 15-17, 2025Empty shelves trigger something primal in us now. We've lived through the panic, the uncertainty, the realization that our food supply isn't as secure as we thought. Amberley Brady hasn't forgotten that feeling, and she's turned it into action.Speaking with her from Florence to Sydney ahead of AISA CyberCon in Melbourne, I discovered someone who came to cybersecurity through an unexpected path—studying law, working in policy, but driven by a singular passion for food security. When COVID-19 hit Australia in 2019 and grocery store shelves emptied, Amberley couldn't shake the question: what happens if this keeps happening?Her answer was to build realfoodprice.com.au, a platform tracking food pricing transparency across Australia's supply chain. It's based on the Hungarian model, which within three months saved consumers 50 million euros simply by making prices visible from farmer to wholesaler to consumer. The markup disappeared almost overnight when transparency arrived."Once you demonstrate transparency along the supply chain, you see where the markup is," Amberley explained. She gave me an example that hit home: watermelon farmers were getting paid 40 cents per kilo while their production costs ran between $1.00 to $1.50. Meanwhile, consumers paid $2.50 to $2.99 year-round. Someone in the middle was profiting while farmers lost money on every harvest.But this isn't just about fair pricing—it's about critical infrastructure that nobody's protecting. Australia produces food for 70 million people, far more than its own population needs. That food moves through systems, across borders, through supply chains that depend entirely on technology most farmers never think about in cybersecurity terms.The new autonomous tractors collecting soil data? That information goes somewhere. The sensors monitoring crop conditions? Those connect to systems someone else controls. China recognized this vulnerability years ago—with 20% of the world's population but only 7% of arable land, they understood that food security is national security.At CyberCon, Amberley is presenting two sessions that challenge the cybersecurity community to expand their thinking. "Don't Outsource Your Thinking" tackles what she calls "complacency creep"—our growing trust in AI that makes us stop questioning, stop analyzing with our gut instinct. She argues for an Essential Nine in Australia's cybersecurity framework, adding the human firewall to the technical Essential Eight.Her second talk, cheekily titled "Everyone is Protecting My Password, But No One's Protecting My Toilet Paper," addresses food security directly. It's provocative, but that's the point. We saw what happened in Japan recently with the rice crisis—the same panic buying, the same distrust, the same empty shelves that COVID taught us to fear."We will run to the store," Amberley said. "That's going to be human behavior because we've lived through that time." And here's the cybersecurity angle: those panics can be manufactured. A fake image of empty shelves, an AI-generated video, strategic disinformation—all it takes is triggering that collective memory.Amberley describes herself as an early disruptor in the agritech cybersecurity space, and she's right. Most cybersecurity professionals think about hospitals, utilities, financial systems. They don't think about the autonomous vehicles in fields, the sensor networks in soil, the supply chain software moving food across continents.But she's starting the conversation, and CyberCon's audience—increasingly diverse, including people from HR, risk management, and policy—is ready for it. Because at the end of the day, everyone has to eat. And if we don't start thinking about the cyber vulnerabilities in how we grow, move, and price food, we're leaving our most basic need unprotected.AISA CyberCon Melbourne runs October 15-17, 2025 Virtual coverage provided by ITSPmagazineGUEST:Amberley Brady, Food Security & Cybersecurity Advocate, Founder of realfoodprice.com.au | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amberley-b-a62022353/HOSTS:Sean Martin, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.comCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to share an Event Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: A Mischief at the Baths: When Éva Became a Philosopher Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-10-12-07-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Széchenyi Fürdőben ősz volt.En: It was autumn at the Széchenyi Fürdő.Hu: Az apró hullámok a medencékben játszottak, és a párás levegő kellemesen körülölelte a fürdőzőket.En: The tiny waves played in the pools, and the humid air pleasantly enveloped the bathers.Hu: Éva, egy fiatal és életvidám nő, aznap egy kis pihenésre vágyott a híres fürdőben.En: Éva, a young and vivacious woman, longed for a little relaxation that day at the famous bath.Hu: Lebegve a meleg vízben, elmélázott a közelgő Márton-nap ünneplésén, amikor libasült és finom borok ígértek örömteli estét.En: Floating in the warm water, she pondered the upcoming Márton-nap celebration, when roast goose and fine wines promised a joyful evening.Hu: Zoltán, egy kissé szétszórt professzor, a fürdő csendjében keresett ihletet új könyvéhez.En: Zoltán, a somewhat scattered professor, sought inspiration in the quiet of the bath for his new book.Hu: Könnyed figyelmetlenséggel letette törölközőjét egy napágyra, majd elmerült a gondolataiban.En: With casual carelessness, he placed his towel on a sunbed, then got lost in his thoughts.Hu: Nem vette észre, hogy Éva, aki szintén helyet keresett, véletlenül éppen az ő törölközőjét emelte fel.En: He didn't notice that Éva, who was also looking for a place, accidentally picked up his towel.Hu: László, a kíváncsi nyugdíjas, mindig is szeretett ismerkedni és pletykálkodni.En: László, the curious retiree, always loved meeting new people and sharing gossip.Hu: Észrevette Évát a professzor törölközőjével, sőt, még meg is volt győződve arról, hogy Éva egy híres filozófus.En: He noticed Éva with the professor's towel and was even convinced that Éva was a famous philosopher.Hu: Ezért sietett, hogy bemutassa őt a társaságának.En: So he hurried to introduce her to his group.Hu: Éva, először zavarban volt, de gyorsan rájött, hogy ebből még móka is lehet.En: Initially, Éva was embarrassed, but she quickly realized that this could be fun.Hu: Bár nem akart jelenetet okozni, László lelkes közönségével találva magát, úgy döntött, hogy folytatja a félreértést.En: Although she didn't want to cause a scene, finding herself in László's enthusiastic company, she decided to continue the misunderstanding.Hu: László társasága, akiket Éva csodás történeteivel lenyűgözött, kérlelte, hogy mondjon egy rögtönzött beszédet a Márton-nap tiszteletére.En: László's group, who were captivated by Éva's wonderful stories, pleaded with her to deliver an impromptu speech in honor of Márton-nap.Hu: A medenceparti piknik vidám hangulata segítette Évát, hogy bátran rögtönözzön, míg végül a "filozófiai" beszéde elért egy nevettető csúcspontot.En: The cheerful atmosphere of the poolside picnic helped Éva improvise boldly, until her "philosophical" speech reached a comedic climax.Hu: Mindenki jót mulatott, Éva játékos stílusán, és hosszú tapsot kapott.En: Everyone had a good laugh, enjoying Éva's playful style, and she received long applause.Hu: Zoltán, végül észrevette a törölköző hiányát, és egy kis keresgélés után újra rátalált.En: Zoltán eventually noticed the absence of his towel and, after a little searching, found it again.Hu: A nap végére az összes félreértés elsimult, és az emberek boldogan vitték magukkal az emlékeket.En: By the end of the day, all misunderstandings were smoothed out, and people happily took the memories with them.Hu: Éva megtanulta értékelni a váratlan helyzetekből származó vidámságot, Zoltán pedig úgy döntött, hogy gyakrabban figyel a dolgaira.En: Éva learned to appreciate the joy that arises from unexpected situations, and Zoltán decided to pay more attention to his belongings.Hu: László ráébredt, hogy az élet legjobb pillanatai azok, amelyekre nem számítunk.En: László realized that the best moments in life are the ones we don't expect.Hu: A Széchenyi Fürdő búcsút intett a látogatóknak, akik egy különleges nappal lettek gazdagabbak.En: The Széchenyi Fürdő bid farewell to the visitors, who became richer with a special day.Hu: Az épület falai még sok történetet rejtenek, de ez a nap, amikor Éva "filozófus" lett, biztosan beleivódott a fürdő történetébe.En: The walls of the building hide many stories, but this day, when Éva "became a philosopher," surely became ingrained in the bath's history.

Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic violence advocate, [00:01:00] Diana . She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help. Now here is Diana. Hi everybody. How are you guys doing today? I hope you are well. It is a beautiful day outside. Fall isn't even here yet it seems. But my garden. We got to harvest some of our food. We ate some green beans and snap peas and ate some strawberries from my garden. We're just waiting for the tomatoes to ripen. But it's really exciting when you start eating from your own garden, you didn't even think it was going to survive. And with the change of seasons [00:02:00] here, and Thanksgiving is coming up, holidays are coming up. I didn't really do a Thanksgiving podcast, but we want to be thankful. It's hard to be thankful this year, isn't it? Was a huge dumpster fire, and it's probably not all gonna go away you know, January 1st , I'm sure isn't gonna magically disappear, but, um, we have to practice the art of being thankful and grateful for what we have. Make a list, and I know it's hard, just the littlest things that you see during the day. Hey, I have the song on the radio I heard, and it was such a blessing to me. Or like, me, I had a harvest this week. Or, oh, the weather is so beautiful or. My kid got an A on his spelling. Just the little things, just make a [00:03:00] list and go back to those lists. And I'm not one of those positive thinker people. I'm not, I have to work at being positive. I like being around positive people because that lifts me up. My husband is naturally positive and he lifts me up. Right now. He's going through a hard time with his medical stuff and I have to lift him up when I'm having a bad day, he has to lift me up. But we try and practice gratefulness even in the little things. So I hope that encourages you during this holiday. I'm not gonna do a big holiday podcast. Today I have a guest with me today and he's going to talk about, when you feel like, your life doesn't feel like it has meeting you don't have any fulfillment, you're trying to get outta the hole you're in. Maybe you got outta a domestic violence situation and you don't know how to fulfill your [00:04:00] dreams. You don't know how to take that step and work towards your ideal life. Well, this next guest is going to help you do that, to leave the drama behind and find out, which parts of your personality you were born with, which ones you probably need to get rid of, or which ones you can develop further. How you're able to adapt to other people's behavior. Approach your interactions with confidence instead of fear. Find out what makes other people tick. How to handle misunderstandings and defensiveness. How do you handle your triggers? Hey, we've all got drama that we need to leave behind. We wanna move forward, right?

Well, well it's great to be hanging out with you. Tell us about your self, your upbringing, and your family. Did you come from a [00:06:00] successful family? Well, um, I am a third generation, uh, in Canada. So my grandparents, all four came from Hungary between the first and second World War as immigrants. And then they settled here. I'm about an hour east of Vancouver, Canada, so that's where I make my home. And so I actually grew up on a dairy farm. After uh, high school I went to agricultural college, came back to work on the farm, but pretty well a few months in dad and I were ready to beat each other into a pulp. 'cause we really didn't get along. Both of us wanted to be in charge and dad was kind of of the European mindset, just do what I say. I'll only tell you and criticize you. When you screw up. I'm never going to affirm you or. Do something positive 'cause that might go to your head. Aw. And so I, you know, after a couple of years I left the farm, I went and worked in agricultural fields as first, uh, for the Department of Agriculture. Then as a [00:07:00] feed sales rep, uh, for agriculture company. My diploma is a nutrition and genetics, so I was really a nutritionist to dairy cattle farmers. And then I actually started my own farm across the street. Which was fine, I could do my own thing. And then the late eighties, I got into this industry as a sales trainer. So I bought a franchise in the sales training. I said, what a na natural transition, uh, closed down my dairy farm. And then that was the beginning of this. Now when we're recording this, 32 years later, I said, where did that go? Uh, and, you know, three or four books, the author of 12 psychological assessments presented 3000 times somewhere around the world. Uh, authored 4 million words of content. You know, it's an interesting story and journey. And of course, I'll link in my, uh, face story here in a minute as well. So now this, it is. 32 years doing what I'm doing. And the company that I own was founded in 1979 by a professor at a Christian university. He wanted to create a, uh, create an assessment that was [00:08:00] different, better, more improved than Disc Myers-Briggs true colors, way back in 1979. And so he created the tool, the personal style indicator. I got connected to that company in 1990 and then bought it nearly 20 years ago. So we're now, you know, doing business in 12 languages, 30 countries around the world. And all our tools are built on a Christian worldview view, but we equally serve, you know, like Boeing mm-hmm. Or companies of that nature, or Ford or Chrysler as we do Ministries. And we just say, we're just here to help develop people. And then my purpose in life is to help others to live, lead, and work on purpose and to help them to realize their potential. So that's really been our focus for the last three decades. Well, you talk about the cows and I don't think I've ever milked a cow and well, it is 24 7, and I think that was one of the things that happened. I think, and here's my. Encouragement and challenge for those people that are listening, watching this show today [00:09:00] is I got up one morning with my dairy herd and I asked myself this question, if I was doing this same thing 20 years from now, would that be okay? And I said, no, no, no, no, no. I can't be doing that. And I always knew I was to be a speaker. Even when I was 16, I was speaking in front of groups, MCing groups asked to do that kinda work. Uh, I never thought I would be an author because my grade nine teacher said, well, I wouldn't amount to anything because I couldn't read or write. And it was discovered when I did my master's degree that I was dyslexic. So the invention of the computer when I went to school, I'm young, just to let you know, but when I went to school, there weren't, there weren't computers. The program word wasn't there to help me understand or see the words, uh, words that I was misspelling. And the reality is, is that, so I have mispronounced some words, so what doesn't matter, you know, get over it. And that led me to being a writer, which no way you [00:10:00] would've ever convinced me that was gonna be something that I would do almost more of than any single item in my lifetime. So here we are. And now just really trying to, you know, live his purpose and to help encourage other people to live theirs and to be anchored in that. Wow. Research shows. Diana is that when you're out there and engaging in nature, it actually feeds your soul. It does. So, even the research of kids that live in the countryside are healthier than those mm-hmm. That live in sterile environments in a condo, you know, in a 50 story building. I'm not here to judge you because you live in a condo. I'm just saying the reality is the health stats show that when you're out and about and you're just kind of in nature, your immunity strengthens, but so does your core soul because you're out there with nature and hey, that was designed that way. Absolutely. I think it's kept me sane. I liked being outside. I liked going out there and fussing over [00:11:00] my plants. Well, it's in, it's always interesting me to quote unquote live off the grid. And what I mean by that is just being a property that doesn't require utilities from third parties and things like that. But I'd live close to the town or city. There is a lot of effort and work, and one of the reasons that I did stop dairy farming was the 24 7 obligation, 365 days a year. I mean, you never have a day off in a dairy farmer's environment. Now, I appreciate the values that I learned, tenacity, persistence it doesn't matter what the weather's doing. I remember one time where it was very cold. One February. It was rare for where we live, but all the pipes and everything were frozen. Well, it took me four hours of fighting just to thaw all the pipes out so I could milk my cows. And just going back in the house and watching TV wasn't an option. It had to be done. So no matter, you know, what your personality or personal style is or anything like that, those character [00:12:00] traits were entrenched in me or developed in me in that persistence, uh, growing up. So that, you know, that's part of what I bring into it. I'm not. Mm-hmm. Uh, I was thankful for growing up in that environment, but it wasn't something that I was meant to do going forward. So you mentioned your father, but you also said that your mom, had some abuse in her childhood Hmm. Would you, be willing to elaborate on that? Sure. You know, it's interesting. I grew up in quote unquote a Christian home. Mm-hmm. But it wasn't really because my grandparents were Presbyterian in their background. No judgment. Anybody has that background. I grew up in the Presbyterian church. My brother and I were the youth, so that was, they were the only ones that were attending. But what I didn't see in my family was really the relationship with Christ. Mm. It was a cognitive thing, it was a cerebral thing. It was a duty, but it wasn't really an experience. It wasn't a relationship whatsoever. And of course, later on, I sort of [00:13:00] left the church. I can tell you my spiritual story here in a bit. But as a result of that, my dad was 16 years of age when his dad died of an unknown causes. He was on the farm, so he was forced to quit school in grade eight or nine to take over the farm with his mother. Now, his eldest brother was working off the farm, but also was helping on the farm, and a year later died of an unknown. As well. So here his father dies and then, you know, the next year before he is almost 17, his eldest brother that he looked up to died as well. Oh. And then my grandmother, where I was one of the, I wasn't the eldest male, but in that culture, you know, males just seemed to be, that was important to grandma. So I was the first born in Elst male farm. Grandma was pretty good with me, but she had a critical spirit. And so that spirit then led into my dad. My dad's way of dealing with that trauma was [00:14:00] to say nothing, just really be quiet. Mm-hmm. And the culture, the Hungarian culture also was one of non-emotional. I mean, you didn't share your feelings, you didn't share what was going on. You didn't share your heart. And even though my dad was on the board of the church, an elder. I never saw him pray. I never really see him have this relationship. He believes in God, you know, is he saved? I don't know. I mean, it's hard to know just for the viewers. I'm an ordained pastor now, so, this is kind of a full circle for me. And then my mom, grew up in as an, as a teenager with a father who was abusive when he was drinking. So an adult child of an alcoholic is kind of the process. So he, later on, , he straightened up. However, there was one night, my understanding from the story, I wasn't around yet where grandpa came home and then, was, beating on the kids and grandma got a knife and says, you touch him again, I'll kill you. Mm. And so that was kind of the environment that my mom grew up in. Now, grandpa, [00:15:00] later on when I knew him, I never knew that part of him. He was able to get his binge drinking under control. His English was broken, but we had a great relationship. He passed away sooner, and then grandma was left. Grandma was a critical spirits to my mom. So my mom now as we record, this is 86, going on 87 soon, and, I think she worries for the entire planet. I think her self-worth as far as she still has not processed this value set. So she plays the victim card extensively. And then as far as my environment for my dad, giving compliments, providing compliments just never happened. So he is 88 at the time of recording this and I'm 60. And I do not recall ever him telling me that he loves me. Aw. I just not now, does he? Yes, he does. But to verbally say that I love you just doesn't happen. I could go to his place though. And say, [00:16:00] dad, I need to borrow your truck. I need to borrow tools. Always, yes. Never says no to being helpful, but to be able to have that emotional connection and to articulate it is not something he learned. I think he did the best that he could with what he knew. So same with my mom. So I don't, I'm not bitter with them now. I'm obviously disappointed. But what it led to for me in my teenage years, when I came back from college, so I was 19 years of age, I think when I finished college, I started when I was younger is, I was suicidal. Hmm. So I sat there on the farm, here I'm arguing with my dad. I want to take it over, but he won't include me in any decisions. This is the, it's my way of the highway. There was no relationship per se, it was just a dictatorship. Mm-hmm. And then talking about deeper things that never happened, at home, when I got in some trouble with a girl, in my younger years, I wanted to share that with my mom, and she just started to criticize me. So it told me [00:17:00] never share anything with my mother that I'm dealing with as far as those pieces. So I sat there and I really said, is life really worth it? And for those of you that have been through trauma or whatever, suicide is really calling out, suicide is a hopelessness. It's a mm-hmm. Where you believe in that moment that not being here would be far less painful than being here. And first of all, it's alive, the enemy. So if we think about John 10, 10 is that the enemy comes to, kill, steal, and destroy or whatever that order is, and. And so he wants you to, take your own life because then you know what, your impact for the ministry is not gonna be there. Your impact for others is not gonna be there. Well, obviously I didn't take my life, but I thought about it and I had those components or considerations Later on in life, about a decade later, I was diagnosed asmatic depressive. And so I went on an antidepressant called Lithium, and it was my friend of mine, [00:18:00] actually out of Dallas, Texas. And she was a psychologist and she said, Ken, you're not a depressed person. There's something else biologically going on with you. And so we, I, at my insistence, did a glucose tolerance test, found out I was hypoglycemic. I wasn't depressed at all. Yeah. So what that had to do was around my blood sugar levels. So one of my passions now in life is I love to develop the whole person. And we have 12 assessments in our company from personality, but we also have an assessment on wellness and stress. And as a, I consider myself, a wellness expert. Mm-hmm. Because I don't believe that we need to rely on external people for my health. And so a lot of times people get into trouble where they don't take care of themselves. So mm-hmm. It's very difficult to be alive and functional and be a spiritual, , lion when you are fatigued, when you have no [00:19:00] energy. So, uh, I say fatigue makes cowards of us all. I wasn't the person who said I was another person who had started that. So I started to look at how can I take care of myself? Make sure you get the sleep, make sure for the most part you eat right, that you do things right. A lot of times as individuals, we don't take care of ourselves, and then we wonder why we're lethargic or we can't focus or we can't concentrate. And we do that with our kids. So I, you know, this body is a temple. We have a responsibility to take care of it. So that's why we've been working in all these different areas. And then one other. And then we're talking about trauma. And I haven't, I've only shared this very few times on podcasts and I don't, not that it's a secret. I actually share this story in my book, the Quest for Purpose. Mm-hmm. Which I am actually going to give everybody a copy of this at the end of the show. Right. Wow. So we are gonna be able to give you a free download of that book. But in the book, in 1982, I was actually [00:20:00] dating my high school sweetheart. So it was the person that I took to my prom. She was a couple years younger than me. And on December 13th, 1982 the police officer showed up at my home and said, we'd like to interview Ken. Now I happen to be out in town with my brother at that time, and there wasn't cell phones that we personally had. So when I got that, they said it's very urgent that Ken come to the station as soon as he gets home. I'm curious. I don't know what this is about. I am also nervous. I'm a little bit fearful. I'm having nervous energy and trying to crack jokes when I get to the police department. Yeah. So I get into one of these interview rooms that are just like, the TV says steel chairs, bricks, security, glass. One person in the room, TV cameras recording you. And I say, you know, what's this about? And the officer says, we have a reason to believe that you are, dating or a boyfriend of Carol Ann Repel. And I said, yeah, well that's true. And he said, well, she was murdered last [00:21:00] night. Oh. And so, what are you talking about? And I was one of the second last people to talk to her, and I had been chatting with her on the phone. She was a individual who was gifted and skilled and wanted to be the first female fighter pilot in the Canadian forces. So she was late at night at her employer's location, which was at the airport, and the janitor made a sexual advance to her that went wrong and then beat her to death. Oh, so that's, I'm being interviewed for this. They're asking about it and it came to learn. They didn't know who did it. It was a mystery for months, but they had their suspicions, but they had no proof. And eventually they, charged somebody who I knew, he had been hired as a security guard for some youth group work that we had done. At that moment, that day, I went to work. I said, I'm like, I was complete denial. Just [00:22:00] what is going on on this thing? She was 22 years of age, Diana. Mm-hmm. Maybe going on to 23. So we've all had our situations or stories. It took me years later where I did a process, called emotional freedom Technique. You can agree with it or not, but it was a Christian who created it. I was drenched in sweat, just processing all the. Emotional sort of luggage and baggage that came out of that stuff through the process we did. It was, you just call it very, very intense counseling, if you wanna call it that. And, so we, but I still needed to kind of move forward. I was thankful for the relationship with her. I was angry, upset, but certainly in denial for not months but years, because of that event and when it occurred. There. And then being a person of interest is, has its own dynamics. Oh, so they thought it might have been you? Well, there was that consideration. Now I had a, alibi. I was actually with my parents that night when this [00:23:00] occurred. So that, I mean, I lived alone. I was a single guy, so it was just happenstance, the Holy Spirit protecting me mm-hmm. From any kinda suspicions. But really they were trying to figure out who did it. And I was a witness to, that by being one of the last people to talk to her alive. Hmm. And now, you know, when we're recording, this is many, many years later, almost 40 years later, uh, but still it has sort of an emotional tag that goes with that. So all of us have had things that happen. My encouragement is, is no matter what, because I mean, you're in your podcast trying to help people go through trauma. You always have a choice about what you're gonna do with it. And as a trained counselor. A lot of times in the past, counseling was always about processing your past. I disagree with that. Is that we need to look to our future. Mm-hmm. You know, Carolyn Lee's research on, you know, you know who turned on, who switch off your brain and switch on your brain. Her [00:24:00] books really talks about what you focus on. Gets more on more of it. So if I go in counseling and just relive the event and relive the event and relive the event, well I haven't moved you forward. Forward. So I'm not denying its issues or what's going on or that it happened, I'm just denying it's hold in your future. So this is around forgiveness. I had to forgive the guy who killed her. Mm-hmm. Because, uh, you know, the old story, everybody has heard this, if you've been in any front of any servant, is that unforgiveness is like you taking the poison and wanting the other person to live. Right. We've all heard that. Yes. Well, we just need to be reminded of that to, I wasn't obviously agreeing with the heinous act. He did, but I had to forgive him so that I would be free in that his heinous act wouldn't be affecting me, plus my family and everybody else around me as well. So, uh, I don't think you knew that story was coming, Diana. Actually, I did. I [00:25:00] read your blog. Oh, you did? You did. Oh, well, you're one of the few. So, uh, and when I do my normal podcast, I don't mention this for very often, but you know, the Holy Spirit has lifted me up, been there beside me in that. It's not him who did this. You know, I can rely on him to be able to kind of build me up. And in fact, I have to, I mean, if we're going through life, we're just gonna have stuff happen. Mm-hmm. It's just part of the dynamic of living in a broken world. Yeah. It definitely is a fallen world. Yeah. I'll swing around back to what you said about forgiveness. Did the, murderer, go to prison or did he think of that? Yeah, he was eventually caught. What they did is they knew who he was, but they didn't, you know, DNA was kind of, just in its infancy stages then in 1982. So, what they did is they set up a sting operation and then they had somebody, you know, where people wear wire and they're recording what's being [00:26:00] said. There was some, someone in his life that he had semi revealed that he was involved with this. And so they knew that, but they couldn't prove anything. So then they set up this sting and then it went from there. And then once he sort of confessed in this, sting operation with this person, then it went to downhill from there. Yes, he was, I think his time, I think he's like in life, in prison for life. So was it easier to forgive that you saw some justice for your girlfriend, or did that not really matter? It's so long ago. I'm not sure if I recall if I was thinking either way, but mm-hmm. But I think finding the person who did it was important just for safety matters. Mm-hmm. And curiosity and just, you know, who was it that did this? I, knowing the person to a certain degree, I mean, because we had hired him and had interactions with him. He wasn't a hundred [00:27:00] percent there, if you know what I mean. Oh, okay. Just so, I don't wanna use the word simple, but I use the word just not a hundred percent. You know, the elevator didn't go a hundred percent to the top. And I think it was not planned. I believe that it was just a sexual advance go bad, and he went to a point of no return, that she's gonna say something, I'm gonna get into trouble. And the only way to stop this is to end her life. Mm-hmm. And I believe that's what occurred and what happened. So he was single, he was in his thirties. Mm-hmm. Uh, and you know, a lot of sexual predators are kind of in that category. I don't know if he was or wasn't. I don't know. And there was no other charges in other parts of his life. But that's kind of how that unfolded. Ian, you know, at this point, I'm obviously very, very sad. She was an amazing girl. And being my grad prom date had sort of a. Not sort of had a significance sort of in my history, in my life as well, but I was just thankful that justice was [00:28:00] done and those things were discovered. And I'm just saying to those people at watch who are listening, that, you know, no matter what happens, we have these choices to be able to move to the next level. I mean, I'm thankful Diana, for your ministry and Ministries like you that help people to kind of bridge that gap from where they are to where they need to do or some of the work that we do as well. So, you know, example is my parents, my mom mm-hmm. Still has not processed this adult child of alcoholic. Her behavior is around it. Mm-hmm. In interesting enough, my sister who is in her fifties, and I hopefully she doesn't watch this, is you know, some of the tendencies are there too. Like, I know my parents won't watch it. But you know, if one of my family members watch it, is that, that worry side, that anxiety side that gets passed down? Yes. Now and obviously my depression side came out of that family dynamic. Mm-hmm. And then with my dad, never saying, never having a compliment. I think he just emotionally was unable to do it. Mm-hmm. Now, what's [00:29:00] really fun is my kids are 25 and 24 now, and they're very developed and skilled individuals. My wife Brenda, is a school teacher, so we're both in the professional development fields. Mm-hmm. And for their age. The kids are amazing. Of course, parents are biased about this, but they really mess with grandpa and grandma now. Oh. So my daughter will go in there, grandpa, we really, really, really love you. We really do. Just waiting to see if he'll say anything. And then he'll go, so he'll mumble and then he'll kind of be embarrassed. He'll look down. And it's not that he doesn't have any emotions, but the kids kind of know that. And they just, because grandparents can't mess with their grandkids that way. And then my son will do the same thing with them. And so from that point of view, we've just loved on them, accepting them for where they're at. I feel badly for them that they haven't been able to brace everything that they could. You know, when we're in the stressful situation, we are in the world right now. They have just taken the [00:30:00] worry of the whole world upon their shoulders. Right? You know, God's very clear in his word. Fear is from the enemy. Mm-hmm. You know, it doesn't mean stupid, but there's not one scripture that I'm aware of unless you want to correct me, Diana, that says, you know what? Being fearful a little bit's. Okay. Everything is fear. Not Well, you know, God says, he gives you fear so you don't jump off the edge of a cliff or, bungee jump off of Well, I have bungee jump, but I hear what you're saying is that, that fight or flight, yeah. That's a healthy fear. It keeps you from doing something really stupid. Mm-hmm. But, and then when we get into the scripture, you know, fear fear of the Lord is really a reverence for 'em if you get into the Greek and the Hebrew. Mm-hmm. Is that it's reverence for them and it's honoring of them. And in that's part of the problem in the global society right now. There's no fear of him. There's no reverence for God anymore. No. And so it's a godless society in many ways. That's why people are acting out when you take [00:31:00] God out, then you get these situations where people are spiritualists and they really are acting on their own. And the enemy is controlling them. Mm-hmm. Exactly. And their flesh. Yeah. Well, for sure. And if it's not modeled for you and we teach that in our development factors model that as an observer, as a child of the relationships around you, that's all you know to do. Yeah. And of course we think that life is around social media, that it's around podcasts like this, but there was none of that. Mm-hmm. Back 50, 60 years ago. And in fact, the TV was just even coming in and some of the examples there, and most of the examples were way more wholesome. Yeah. And loving back then. I think the. The most amount of violence was on gun smoke. Uh, I love that show. Of course. I mean, those of us that are older, remember that one? That was great. So part of what, you know, I wanna encourage the listeners [00:32:00] is, people do the best that they can with what they know. My mom has told me that she loves me, but it's kind of an awkward thing. It's a thing that she does there. If I say that I love her, then she would say, well, me too. Um, but not everybody is that way. And then you talk about intimacy. We used to joke with my parents that said, how do we exist? You guys never touch each other. Like, how did it even happen? Like, was it an accident while you were sleeping or something? So we used to just, we joked about that because there was zero. Intimacy between them. And but I think that again, was cultural and that was part of it. Now, when we think about ministry and spiritual life, and again, the, hopefully this reaches people and it touches your heart for the I went to a church that really nice people, but the services were equivalent to a funeral. Oh yeah. And then the other one is, is when you have the theology and the mindset that you do in that group, they were one of the, some of the most miserable people [00:33:00] that I knew, and this was the Christian Church. I said, well, why would I wanna be part of this? Right. 16, 17, 18, 19, I really fell off and I was crazy, wild and everything. Went to college found out that, uh, man, I could buy four cases of beer for 20 bucks back there in the province of Alberta. And the drinking age was 18 and that's what I was. And so it was a crazy time for me. But then when I got into my later years of my twenties, 26, 27, I was invited to a Bible study by a friend of mine and I said, I don't know. Like I always knew God was there. Mm-hmm. But I really didn't wanna have anything to do with him. I wasn't vile. There was some people that were violent. I was just disinterested in Christian people. Mm-hmm. The number one reason that I left the church were Christians. Yep. At least in my head. But I was around 25, 26 and I went to this Bible study and that this friend of mine, he had, it was a business owner and he had it one Saturday a month. And I walked in this room and [00:34:00] here are these Christians telling jokes and having fun. And it says those two things don't coexist with being a Christian. So he is having fun, he is telling jokes, he's enjoying himself. It wasn't a legalistic pet. And abyss. I said, what? And so all of a sudden my eyes were started to open up and then the spirit, oh no man, the spirit's gonna come. I might even cry. But he came to me because he had me tagged for this kinda work, right? Is he says, Ken, it's not about you and them, it's about you and me. Mm-hmm. So when we have issues with other people, it's always about going vertical. People will always disappoint you. And then his other, his next word to me was clear. He says, and Ken, when were you? Perfect. So none of us are perfect. And so, you know, some of the most judgmental people I've ever met were, have been in the Christian environment, right. That legalistic kind of side. And I said, okay, fine. [00:35:00] Now moving towards it. And that's when I was baptized in a friend's pool, I think it was 28 years of age, and started to go on this journey. And then later on started doing more work for Ministries and said, you know what? I really want to hone my, ministry side and decided to. Take additional biblical studies. Mm-hmm. And then be ordained actually through a friend of mine who, he has a pastor of a church, but he also is one of our associates. 'cause we license other people, around the world to use our tools to serve their community. So this pastor was using it to serve his team and all his team members were going through it. And he also was doing community outreach. And he says, no, we'll, Andor and you. Ordain you under our, CEEC banner. So there's probably about 4,000 kind of interdenominational groups that are under this banner, and that's why I'm ordained under that. I think, I don't know if I mentioned this in the podcast we were together yesterday, or the session yesterday, is I don't ever see myself being quote unquote a pastor of [00:36:00] a church, but doing extended ministry, helping people in ministry and leadership. I've, done a lot of retreats for leadership mm-hmm. For denominations because I can bring the expertise as a leadership in professional development consultants and well as a consultant to bear with the ministry context. And so it's just adding, and that's where I love actually doing the work. We have a local church, one of the larger ones, and the youth minister is a friend of mine. He also does apologetics. And so what we started to do is do his leadership group on our personality. I have a book called, why Aren't You More Like Me? Mm-hmm. And every once or twice a year, we would do retreats for those youth leaders that were 18 to 30 years of age. And in that moment I said, you know what? God has created us uniquely, but also perfectly for the assignments that he has for us in life. It's our responsibility to figure out [00:37:00] what that is. So, Dr. Pastor Randy, would get up front and he would say, next to accepting Christ. He says, I think this is one of the most important things you could learn, because every single person on this planet has a personal style. Other people call it a personality. Mm-hmm. And you are gonna bring that to bear in everything you do, every relationship you touch, every work piece, and responsibility you do. And it's not right, it's not wrong. You are uniquely created for the purposes that he has for you and the plan he has for you and the assignments he has for you and every. Personality or personal style has related strengths and stuff. Challenges, I guess. So I need to be responsible for that. I have, if I didn't have the strengths and tenacity that I was naturally born with, no way, I would've had the fortitude or resilience to overcome some of the things that this company's been through and some of the things that have been in front of me in my life. Wow. On the other hand, you don't want me to [00:38:00] be the auditor of your ministry books 'cause I'll just say it close enough because I absolutely. I might have an MBA, but I really dislike the minute details. I'm really an idea person, even though I've written 4 million words. The words are through ideas to influence people to improve their lives. Mm-hmm. To write a textbook on trigonometry is, I need him to come here and I'm gonna go to heaven quicker. I'm never gonna write. So part of those of you that are watching our ability to say no is equally important as our ability to say yes. Mm-hmm. So our responsibility as individuals, as believers say, everybody says, okay, the're great commission to share his word with other people. Okay. But where doing what for you? So that is the bigger question for us individually, to say, where does he want you to go? What does he want you to do? And you know, if I would've followed the [00:39:00] cultural pressures, I'd still be on the dairy farm. Mm-hmm. With my. Two brothers. And so my youngest brother has taken over the dairy farm and now his son is looking at taking over and his son has got a son. So now you're talking five or six generations. That's great. That's fine. But that's not what I am called to do. So my encouragement is, if you're watching this, there's two things. First of all, don't let the pressures of the past and other people's expectation drive you. Really only a Holy Spirit can lead you. Mm-hmm. And some close advisors that have wisdom and insights or even a word of knowledge for you that you wouldn't know that's driven from the Holy Spirit, not from here. The second one is that is true for you and you're a parent, or you're a significant other, or you're a partner. Why wouldn't you honor that uniqueness of the people around them as well? A friend of mine who's a believer, who was part owner of the company that I now own a hundred percent and I, but I've known him for 40 years. He, when we first got involved with this, he says, [00:40:00] Ken, my son's really. He's not gonna amount to anything. He's the laziest kid I've ever met. But what he was saying, because my friend is a driven entrepreneur like this guy at 70 works 12 hours a day, six days a week, even now, and you can't stop him. And that's just who he is. It's the fabric of who he is. He was a dairy farmer as well, so you, he's already got that in his gene. His son, who was not really lazy, was just extremely easygoing. So his style was just Dad, no chill. Just chill. Dad, whatever. You know what he is now? Pediatric doctor. Aw. So, sometimes we go there and we judge people and we say, you're not gonna melt to anything. You're lazy. You shouldn't be doing this. And in fact, God had a calling for, his name is John. To be a doctor and think about his nature. He's caring for kids, he has a heart for kids, he has the temperament for kids, he loves on them as a doctor. And then [00:41:00] gifted on that, what a better place to be now. The relationship between father and son have never been better as part of it. You know, as you think about this, how can we create a space, a safe space for individuals like you or me to go on this journey of discovery with me, not because of what I say or don't say, but together so that I can help you realize your potential. And one of the things that is, um, I do still kind of get a little miffed at how Christians can put other people down for certain reasons. Absolutely. Or just people in general. I had a point, and now it's gone. It'll come back to me here in a moment. But part of this is that. We don't want to be judging people about their direction and putting them down for certain directions. Mm-hmm. Because now what we're doing is we're spilling our fear into their space. The reality is the enemy will bring people around you to discount you. We even talked about that yesterday in [00:42:00] the, Christian business owners call. Mm-hmm. Is that the enemy wants to discount your worth. Yes. If I go, I have zero people says, Ken, you still get nervous speaking in front of groups. I says, never. Never. If it's a thousand people, 2000 people, 3000 people, I love it. I'm energized. You ever get nervous? Getting on a show? Never does not happen. However, if I'm asked to preach in front of a church, then the worthiness, the enemy comes after me and says, Ken, do you know who you are? What gives you the right to speak about Christ's righteousness in front of these people? And so my, so I want to call it wisdom mm-hmm. To individuals, is that the enemy wants to discount that, there's a big difference between confidence and arrogance is that we wanna be confident in who he is. And yes, he has asked me to share his word with others in the context, and I've done preaching for people online and in services at churches, [00:43:00] and then also led, you know, Ministries through our work and leadership and personality and wellness and all these things. But I'm still working on this thing where the enemy wants to attack this. Who do you think you are? Hmm. When he called out Moses, when Moses says, well, I'm not equipped for this. We use the, scripture from Gideon. I'm the weakest of my clan. Why? Why choose my me? And I started to think about that. Think about all the people that God chose. To lead and be in front. Half of them are murderers. I mean, I'm being demonstrative, but Right. So, hello. That didn't exclude them. Then you have this Pharisee who is killing Christians on the weekend, who wrote nearly half of the New Testament. Absolutely. What are you talking about? Because he's trying to demonstrate to you, me and everybody watching the transformational nature of his spirit and that there is nothing that's not [00:44:00] possible if you're in his will and following it. I will never, in spite of all, like you were talking off air about these, I'll call it new age kind of positive thinking stuff. Mm-hmm. I will never be a basketball player. It's just not gonna Me neither. At five nine. It is not gonna happen. It's just, I can have all the goals in the world. I can visualize all I want. It's just not going to happen. But if it's in the context of his will, and here's the other responsibility. As believers, it's your responsibility to find out what that will is. Where does he want you to go? And again, to be really careful, be really cautious to only get feedback from those people who are trusted advisors that know the spirit. Oh, I know what I was gonna say earlier is my family, when I decided to leave my sales job to start my own sales training, even then my parents said, my dad said to me, why would you leave a company that gives you a free [00:45:00] car? And then they give you lunches. Two, what a what an idiot you are to leave that job, to start this training business. Well, that company, by the way, three or four years later, went bankrupt. So that was kind of a little get back at your dad moment there. And they sort of fine. But that's how people are thinking. They're well-meaning they're trying to protect you. But don't absorb their fear. Don't let their doubt come into your space. Sometimes you have to be extremely guarded about I'll call it the unbelief of others around you. When Jesus didn't chastise the disciples very often, but he chastised them about fear in the boat and the water. Mm-hmm. But he also chastised their unbelief when they couldn't heal the crippled individual who was come on, help me with the word Diana. Possessed. And they said, what? Why couldn't we cast out the devil? They said, because of your unbelief. So [00:46:00] sometimes we need to make sure that we guard ourselves and be around those people that really are there with us, Diana, on that side, I'm getting a little preachy now instead of just a podcast on those. I love it. I love it. But my, and we talk a lot about boundaries that you have to have boundaries, physical boundaries, as well as mental boundaries. Who are you hanging out with? Who are you allowing to influence you? That's super important. Oh, and in fact, I was talking about this on another, podcast just this morning that I was on, is that, the research is clear who you associate with matters, and the proof is, is that your five closest associates will be the highest level of influence. In other words, if we look at your five closest friends, I can almost predict. With certainty what you are going to be like, how you're gonna think, how you're going to act, because you're constantly influencing each other. Now I remember, and I know you're almost getting close to the end of the show, but one of my [00:47:00] colleagues, not a believer, but very wise guy, Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, one of the top coaches in the world, wrote the book Triggers and What Got you here won't get you there. And I was at an invite only event in New York with him and 20 or 30 other people in the coaching industry. And one of the things he stated, and this is so true, especially people with trauma and they have family, is that a lot of times you want to go to a new level. So Diana, you're going to a new level, you're doing the podcast, you're doing this ministry, you're growing, I'm growing. Your past, the people that you grew up in high school or the people that know you or your family, they wanna keep you where you were. They don't want to you to go where you're going. So an example is when I got my doctorate degree, we had a family dinner and it was kind of a celebration. And one of my family members said to me with almost with the stain, we are never calling you doctor. Hmm. And part of it is that they knew me for who I was 30 years ago. [00:48:00] And then of course I left the farm. I went on my own started to develop relationships and connections with amazing people around the world. Is that some, not that I'm better than them, but I am different. And so I don't really share what I do with my family members. And that's what Marshall was teaching in his group is that sometimes who you become doesn't fit the people that you used to hang out with. It doesn't mean you don't hang out with them. You just limit that you are being with your family. Diana, what are you doing? He says, well, I'm doing ministry work and I'm running a podcast and just really helping people to overcome trauma. And that's it. That's all it's done. We don't talk about the great people we met or 'cause what happens is you're seen as being arrogant and who do you think you are rather than colleagues where you're just sharing your excitement about this growth. Oh yeah. I had relatives come up to me 'cause they heard me, I was a guest on somebody else's podcast. Oh, she can't do that. You know, she's gonna hurt somebody. She's not a licensed counselor. She's not this, she's not that. [00:49:00] And I have had training. I get considerable training. I'm not a licensed counselor, but the program that I follow, was written by a trauma counselor and a theology professor. So that's called Mending the Soul, by the way. Mm-hmm. Anyway, yeah, they're definitely, we're all already people telling me, well, you shouldn't be doing that. Who are you? You're not some, super professional girl. You're just Diana, you're just an abuse survivor. That's all you are kind of thing. So, yeah. Well, what happens a lot of times is envy can come in, jealousy can come in. They wanna still contain you and me to who we were, but it's also still their perception is true with, one of my family members where, they go on, oh, you, you're always this person that talks too much. That's what my dad said to me when I was a teenager. And of course he was putting me down for my style and what I do. And it was interesting because even though he [00:50:00] says, Ken, you talk too much and put me down for my style. I was the person that asked to be m Mc of banquets when I was 16 and 17 years of age because I would be quick on my feet, I'd be able to have a responsiveness. And I also took. The responsibility of being an mc of a banquet. Seriously, because have you ever been to these banquets that's run by volunteers where you have just a terrible mc and they ruin the night? Oh yeah. Well, the opposite. I said, no. I take this as a profession. Mm-hmm. And recently, interesting enough, in spite of sort of the history, my dad has a group called The Pioneers, which are elderly people have been in our community for, 60, 70, 80, 90 years. And they asked me to be the mc. And so then I've done it for two years. They won't hold it this year. And people come and said, how are you able to do that? Because the people that were doing it before were on the board. They were, dementia was already setting in and they were trying to lead this banquet and it was just a [00:51:00] disaster, nice people. But they were way out of their element and they shouldn't have been MCing it. Here's a family trying to contain, you said, who do you think you are? Put you down for talking yet. It's my profession. It's what I do. I've been paid or have conducted 3000 presentations around the world in the last 32 years. Hello? What? Like, help me out here and just like your family, my dad is, just really unsure about what I really do. If I say I'm doing some speaking or training for like Chrysler, well, he gets that, but producing psychological tools and assessments and all the other work, like we were talking around purpose. No, they, they wouldn't get it. So part of, you know, all of that story from both of us for the viewers and listeners is that it's okay to move on, but also you don't have to share your new life with your old life. Yeah. And that you can be that person for them, but guard your [00:52:00] future sort of, expounding about what you're gonna do and writing these books and creating these e-course and all that kind of stuff, they don't care. They're not there. So it's interesting because my wife and I, when we go to family events we talk about emotional intelligence and we talk about interpersonal intelligence and we talk about self-awareness. But one of the things we do at family events, we, we have a game. We say, could we go all night with 20 people in the room with three hours a time? We're not a single person will ask us a question about us and we can do it multiple times. So we go to an event and Diana, how are you doing and what's new at the ministry? And, how's the family doing? And I heard you went on this trip, a gifted conversationalist is a person who asks questions, right? But what we note is that nobody asks myself or my wife a question. Now, there's the odd occasion where it does occur. It does happen, but it's extremely [00:53:00] rare. So people like to talk about themselves. So we might say, well listen, we're thinking about going to Hawaii. Oh, we went to Hawaii two years ago and we're over here. And all of a sudden they're telling a story, which is all about being self-centered about their trip to Hawaii two years ago. And we just shared what, where we're going to Hawaii. They didn't ask about where you're going, when you're going, who's going? No. They went on to their own. This is a conversational skillset that most of the population does not have. And by the way, for those of you watching play the game. Go out there and, don't talk about yourself. If somebody talks about something, make sure you respond to it, but then transition back to a question and see if you can go all night without anybody asking a question about yourself. And then here's the other one. Don't be offended by it. Give it up. Offense is a choice. You know, we talked about trauma and we talked about forgiveness, but being offended is also a choice. Mm-hmm. Dr. David's Burn's work around, trauma, if you've ever read his book feel good [00:54:00] is, I mean, it's got about 500 pages at four point font. Is that my response is always a choice. Yes. And even Dr. Gottman in his work around relationships is that once I get over 100 beats per minute non-athletic, I'm no longer rational. Well, that's where we have trauma. We have abuse, we have crazy things that happen. One of our number one constituents, we serve as law enforcement. So, Dr. Anderson, who founded the company, was a criminology professor. And then one of my co-authors, Dr. Mitch dti, teaches law enforcement officers emotional intelligence. What's the most dangerous situation for law enforcement to go into domestic dispute? Yes. Why? Because people are irrational. Mm-hmm. So I've let myself get ramped up. I'm now biologically I'm no longer in control of my emotions. Mm-hmm. And now I will say and do things that will regret. Now I'm completely [00:55:00] outta control. I mean, there was this situation that happened in Palm Springs a couple, two, three years ago where there was abusive situation carrying on. The officers broke up, the couple started to contain him, and then she got a gun out and killed both officers. Oh. So that's why officers in these environments, they said you have to watch your back because it's completely. Unpredictable as part of it. So I mean, there's obviously lots of things that we've covered today in the show and we've gone for our 55 minutes. Anything else, Diana, that you wanted to maybe poke your head into before we close? Well, we could go down a whole bunch of rabbit trails on a lot of things that you said. You said so many great nuggets. But maybe for our listeners, perhaps. Give like a list of actionable things that they can do right now. Now just before I do it, so that we don't miss you, I have a gift for everybody. Yes. And [00:56:00] so I'm gonna give you access to the e-copy, Of my the Quest for Purpose book in the get that is go to my speaker site, which is Ken Keys, K-E-N-K-E-I s.com/faithful. You'll in that hidden URL and of course you'll be able to put it in the show notes, Diana as well. Mm-hmm. Is that you'll be able to go there and then download the e version of the book. What I am sometimes shocked at is that I give away this book is that the amount of people who don't. Opt in to get the book. It is a roadmap, a step-by-step process to get clear about who and what and where, and what you should be doing in your life and all components. And now it's gonna take work, it's gonna take time, but where are you gonna be in six months if you don't do it? So, uh, it's there. I spent six months going through this process with my coach, Mike McManus, you know, driving three hours each way when it wasn't pertinent. So when I think about actionable steps, [00:57:00] and you think about people's lives, first of all, if you don't have a purpose in life, then your purpose is to find your purpose. And so that becomes the focus, rather than trying to say, I better be doing this, or I just take a breath. Allow yourself time and space. I've noticed that the Holy Spirit is never frantic. He is on time and he is moving forward, but he is never Fran frantic. And so, chaos is not from him. So just be peaceful, be quiet, and start paying attention and asking yourself this question, if you are doing what you're doing right now in all contexts of your life 20 years from now, is that okay? And if you say no, then that obviously infers change. So what is it that you're gonna move towards? Don't freak out. Don't try to do it all. I mean, if I'm trying to be a marathon runner this morning and then I said, I'm gonna run and do a marathon tonight, I'm gonna be dead. Just, I gotta [00:58:00] train for it. Yep. So life is the same way. The other one is for us and our resources, is that there's all different ways to get to clarity. So we have assessments and they're all learning assessments. So a values assessment, a self-worth assessment, a personality assessment we have a self-worth one I might have mentioned that already. And so all of those become puzzle pieces to create the clarity. The other one, Diana, is, is get a group that's gonna support you, look around and don't judge the five closest friend, but say are the five closest friends in a space that are gonna help you to go where you need to go. And sometimes one of my mentors used to say, you know what, Ken? Sometimes you need to fire clients. He says, why? He says, you've outgrown them. The client that you're serving now is not the client that you started with five years ago. So you know, like my fees and what I do is completely different than what it was 15 years ago. So [00:59:00] now start paying attention to that. And then the other thing is, is that life takes effort. If you get finish watching the show and do nothing and do no action steps, then you're gonna have the same thing tomorrow. So what are the steps that you can take? Start moving towards it, download the book. It's got a complete roadmap. And the other thing we'll make sure that my contact information is there, Diana, is that if people have questions, reach out, I'll respond as, as best as I can in the time that's allotted there. But I'll respond to you to be able to say, Hey, how can we help you or call you and your ministry? Mm-hmm. And some of the coaching that is available there. So that'll get you started. And again, don't try to do it all overnight. Just take one step at a time. The research shows is that if you try to three things at wants to change it, you have about a 15% likelihood of implementing it and a 75% success rate if it's just one thing. So one thing at a time, progress forward and keep listening to Diana's podcast. [01:00:00] And that should be the other step that they do too. Right. Wow, this was so awesome. I cannot wait to read that book and I hope that our listeners will download the book and get busy reading it and putting those things into practice. We will probably have to have you back again in the future because I can just tell you have so much more to share with us to help anytime to be able to serve and support and, you know, go granular in some of these other areas that we can talk about. For sure, anytime, Diana, So today, just choose one thing, one small thing to get you closer to your healing goals. God bless. Thank you for listening to the Wounds of the Faithful Podcast.

Transcript:Hu: Az ősz beköszöntött az Amalfi-parton, ahol a narancs és sárga levelek színesítették a tájat.En: Autumn arrived on the Amalfi Coast, where the orange and yellow leaves colored the landscape.Hu: A tenger mélykékje mindenkit elbűvölt, akik a part mentén sétáltak.En: The deep blue of the sea enchanted everyone who walked along the shore.Hu: Zoltán és Éva régóta barátok voltak.En: Zoltán and Éva had been friends for a long time.Hu: Egy csoport közös barátjukkal érkeztek a festői tájra.En: They arrived with a group of mutual friends to the picturesque scenery.Hu: Éva mindig kalandos szellem volt.En: Éva always had an adventurous spirit.Hu: Most is előreszaladt, miközben Zoltán lassan andalgott mögötte, elmerülve saját gondolataiban.En: Even now, she ran ahead while Zoltán strolled leisurely behind her, lost in his own thoughts.Hu: Évek óta érzett valamit Éva iránt, ami többről szólt, mint barátság.En: For years, he had felt something for Éva that went beyond friendship.Hu: Soha nem volt elég bátor ahhoz, hogy ezt elmondja neki.En: He had never been brave enough to tell her.Hu: Félt a visszautasítástól.En: He was afraid of rejection.Hu: Rettegett attól, hogy elveszíti Éva barátságát.En: He was terrified of losing Éva's friendship.Hu: Most azonban, a szellő és a hullámok lágy hangjai között, úgy érezte, hogy eljött az idő.En: Now, however, amidst the gentle sounds of the breeze and waves, he felt that the time had come.Hu: Éva, bár nem tudott Zoltán érzéseiről, nemrég kezdte elgondolkodni, hogy talán van valami több is kettejük között.En: Éva, although unaware of Zoltán's feelings, had recently started to wonder if there might be something more between them.Hu: Mostanában egy bonyolult kapcsolatban volt, de Zoltán mindig is különleges helyet foglalt el a szívében.En: She was currently in a complicated relationship, but Zoltán had always held a special place in her heart.Hu: Egyik délután a csoport a part mentén sétált, amikor Zoltán és Éva egy kis, eldugott strandra tévedtek.En: One afternoon, the group was walking along the shore when Zoltán and Éva wandered onto a small, secluded beach.Hu: A többiek lemaradtak, így ketten maradtak a csendben, csak a tenger halk zúgása hallatszott.En: The others lagged behind, leaving the two of them alone in the silence, with only the soft murmuring of the sea audible.Hu: "Itt gyönyörű" – mondta Éva mosolyogva.En: "It's beautiful here," Éva said with a smile.Hu: "Te mit gondolsz, Zoltán?En: "What do you think, Zoltán?"Hu: ""Éva… szeretnék neked mondani valamit.En: "Éva… I want to tell you something."Hu: " Zoltán szíve hevesen dobogott, majd nagy levegőt vett.En: Zoltán's heart was pounding as he took a deep breath.Hu: "Évek óta gondolok ránk, nem csak mint barátokra," kezdte félénken.En: "I've been thinking about us for years, not just as friends," he began timidly.Hu: "Nagyon bátor lenne részemről azt mondani, hogy szerelmes vagyok beléd.En: "It would be very bold of me to say that I'm in love with you."Hu: "Éva szava elakadt a döbbenettől.En: Éva was struck dumb with astonishment.Hu: Sosem gondolta volna, hogy Zoltán így érez.En: She had never imagined that Zoltán felt this way.Hu: Zoltán nyitott, őszinte tekintete egyfajta nyugalmat árasztott.En: Zoltán's open, honest gaze exuded a sense of calm.Hu: Zoltán kitartóan nézett a szemébe, és Éva érezte a hitelességet a szavaiban.En: Zoltán looked persistently into her eyes, and Éva sensed the authenticity in his words.Hu: "Én…" kezdte Éva, próbálva megfogalmazni érzelmeit.En: "I…" Éva began, trying to articulate her feelings.Hu: "Sosem gondoltam volna, de az utóbbi időben, én is elgondolkodtam arról, hogy talán van több is köztünk, mint barátság.En: "I never would have thought, but lately, I've been wondering if there's more between us than just friendship."Hu: "Mindketten csendben álltak egy pillanatig, ahogy az ősz szellő játszadozott körülöttük.En: Both stood in silence for a moment as the autumn breeze played around them.Hu: Tudták, hogy ez komoly beszélgetést igényel, különösen Éva bonyolult kapcsolata miatt.En: They knew this required a serious conversation, especially considering Éva's complicated relationship.Hu: De ez az őszinte pillanat megnyitotta az ajtót számukra egy új lehetőség előtt.En: But this honest moment opened the door for them to a new possibility.Hu: Eldöntötték, hogy együtt fognak beszélni a lehetőségekről és a jövőről, miközben sétáltak vissza a csoporthoz.En: They decided to talk together about the possibilities and the future as they walked back to the group.Hu: Zoltán érezte, hogy a szíve könnyebb lett, és Éva új szemmel nézett barátjára.En: Zoltán felt his heart become lighter, and Éva looked at her friend with new eyes.Hu: Ez az út talán nem várt eredményt hozott, de mindkettejük életét új irányba terelte.En: This trip may have brought an unexpected outcome, but it steered both their lives in a new direction.Hu: A partvidék naplementében fürdőző színei között Zoltán és Éva kezdték újragondolni, mit is jelent számukra a barátság és a szerelem ezen a varázslatos helyen, ahol minden lehetségesnek tűnt.En: Amidst the sunset-drenched colors of the coastline, Zoltán and Éva began to rethink what friendship and love meant to them in this magical place where everything seemed possible.

more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-10-08-07-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A hajnali köd lassan eloszlott az ősi Aquincum romjai felett.En: The early morning mist slowly dissipated over the ancient ruins of Aquincum.Hu: Zoltán az ásatás helyszínén állt, nézegette a romos oszlopok és kőtömbök között húzódó ösvényt.En: Zoltán stood at the excavation site, gazing at the path that wound between the dilapidated columns and stone blocks.Hu: A levegő hűvös volt, tele eső ígéretével.En: The air was cool, filled with the promise of rain.Hu: Ősz derekán jártunk, s a levelek narancs és arany színekbe öltöztek.En: We were in the heart of autumn, and the leaves had donned shades of orange and gold.Hu: Ez különösen széppé tette a tájat.En: This made the landscape especially beautiful.Hu: Zoltán izgatott volt, de a szíve mélyén aggódott.En: Zoltán was excited, yet deep down he was worried.Hu: Egy fiatal régész volt, tele bizonyítási vággyal.En: He was a young archaeologist, full of the desire to prove himself.Hu: Ő és csapata – Éva és Tamás – már hetek óta itt dolgozott, de minden erőfeszítésük ellenére sem találtak semmit jelentőset.En: He and his team—Éva and Tamás—had been working here for weeks, but despite all their efforts, they had not found anything significant.Hu: Az idő és a forrásaid kezdtek kimerülni.En: Time and resources were starting to dwindle.Hu: Ahogy a nap felkelt, Zoltán érezte, hogy dönteni kell.En: As the sun rose, Zoltán felt a decision needed to be made.Hu: "Kockáztatni fogok," mondta magának, miközben Evat és Tamást figyelte.En: "I'm going to take a risk," he told himself as he watched Éva and Tamás.Hu: Ők mindketten tapasztaltak voltak, és Zoltán nagyon tisztelte a véleményüket.En: Both were experienced, and Zoltán greatly respected their opinions.Hu: Mégis, valamiért úgy érezte, meg kell próbálnia valami mást.En: Yet, for some reason, he felt he needed to try something different.Hu: Egy távolabbi, keveset kutatott területre akart menni.En: He wanted to go to a more distant, little-researched area.Hu: Éva nem értett vele egyet.En: Éva disagreed.Hu: "Túl veszélyes," mondta aggódva.En: "It's too dangerous," she said worriedly.Hu: De Zoltán hajthatatlan volt.En: But Zoltán was adamant.Hu: Elindult a romok hátsó részébe, ahol a növényzet sűrűbb volt.En: He headed to the back of the ruins, where the vegetation was thicker.Hu: Miközben lépdelt, a levelek száraz zörgése kísérte útját.En: As he walked, the dry crunching of leaves accompanied his steps.Hu: Hamarosan talált egy kis részt, ahol a fák és a romok furcsa harmóniában voltak.En: Soon, he found a small area where the trees and ruins were in a strange harmony.Hu: Zoltán érezte, hogy valami különleges van a levegőben.En: Zoltán felt there was something special in the air.Hu: Közeledett az alkony, a nap sugarai aranylóan átszűrődtek a fák között.En: Dusk was approaching, and the golden rays of the sun filtered through the trees.Hu: Váratlanul csillanásra lett figyelmes a föld alatt.En: Suddenly, he noticed a glint beneath the ground.Hu: Egy ősi ékszert látott!En: He saw an ancient piece of jewelry!Hu: Arra gondolt, ez talán az évszázad lelete lehet.En: He thought this might be the find of the century.Hu: De a fény csupán halvány villanás volt, mielőtt a felhők eltakarták a napot, és szélvihar kerekedett.En: But the light was just a faint flash before the clouds covered the sun, and a storm arose.Hu: Zoltán tudta, hogy gyorsan kell cselekednie.En: Zoltán knew he had to act quickly.Hu: A szél erősödött, a felhők egyre sötétebbek lettek.En: The wind was strengthening, and the clouds were getting darker.Hu: Visszaszaladt a táborba, de nem egyedül ment vissza.En: He ran back to the camp, but he didn't go back alone.Hu: Segítséget kért Évától és Tamástól.En: He sought help from Éva and Tamás.Hu: "Van egy lehetőség!En: "There's a possibility!Hu: Talán ez lesz az, amit mind kerestünk!En: This might be what we've all been looking for!"Hu: " mondta izgatottan.En: he said excitedly.Hu: Mindenki együtt dolgozott a vihar előtt, hogy az ékszert biztonságosan a felszínre hozhassák.En: Everyone worked together before the storm to safely bring the jewelry to the surface.Hu: Ahogy az első esőcseppek lehulltak, sikerült kiszabadítaniuk a tárgyat.En: As the first raindrops fell, they managed to free the object.Hu: Az ékszer valóban lenyűgöző volt, mintha mesékből lépett volna elő.En: The jewelry was truly captivating, as if it had stepped out of a fairy tale.Hu: Visszatérve a táborba, Zoltán ráébredt, hogy bár valóra válhat a vágya a nagy felfedezésről, az egész csapat áldozatai és közös munkája nélkül nem sikerült volna.En: Returning to the camp, Zoltán realized that although his desire for a major discovery might come true, without the sacrifices and joint efforts of the entire team, it wouldn't have succeeded.Hu: Megérezte, hogy nem csak a tudomány igazolta vissza, hanem saját belső ereje is.En: He felt not only had science vindicated him, but so had his own inner strength.Hu: Megértette, hogy az igazi siker nem egyedül, hanem együtt érhető el.En: He understood that true success is achieved not alone but together.Hu: A nap végére az eső is elcsendesedett, és a felhők mögött a hold halványan derengve ragyogott.En: By the end of the day, the rain had also quieted down, and behind the clouds, the moon glowed faintly.Hu: Zoltán boldogan ölelte át társait, és tudta, hogy mostantól mindent közösen fognak megoldani.En: Zoltán happily embraced his companions, knowing that from now on, they would solve everything together.Hu: Az ősi Aquincum romjai között ezen az őszies estén új fejezet kezdődött mindannyiuk életében.En: Among the ancient ruins of Aquincum on this autumnal evening, a new chapter began in all their lives.

there will be a better view" he said.Hu: Zsófi bólogatott, belemerülve egy közeli cserje apró virágainak tanulmányozásába.En: Zsófi nodded, engrossed in studying the tiny flowers of a nearby shrub.Hu: Amíg Zsófi a botanikával foglalatoskodott, Bence gyorsan felkapaszkodott a dombra.En: While Zsófi was occupied with botany, Bence quickly scrambled up the hill.Hu: És akkor meglátta.En: And then he saw it.Hu: A vízi bicikli.En: The pedal boat.Hu: Lassan sodródott távol a parttól, mintha csak búcsút intene nekik a víz felől.En: It was slowly drifting away from the shore, as if waving goodbye to them from the water.Hu: Bence kiáltott Zsófinak.En: Bence called out to Zsófi.Hu: „Jaj, nézd, elúszik!En: "Oh no, look, it's drifting away!"Hu: ” Mindketten nevetni kezdtek, mert a helyzet egyszerre volt nevetséges és izgalmas.En: They both started laughing, as the situation was both absurd and exciting.Hu: Futva indultak a part irányába, miközben Bence szüntelenül kattintotta tovább a fényképezőgépét, hogy megörökítse a kaland minden pillanatát.En: They sprinted towards the shore, while Bence continued to relentlessly click his camera, capturing every moment of the adventure.Hu: Ahogy odaértek, még épp időben sikerült elérniük a vízi biciklit.En: As they reached it, they managed to get to the pedal boat just in time.Hu: Zsófi ügyesen beugrott, Bence pedig, folytatva a nevetést, igyekezett felemelni a már kissé mozgalmasra sikeredett napot záró kalapját.En: Zsófi skillfully jumped in, while Bence, continuing to laugh, tried to lift the mood a bit at the end of what had become a rather eventful day.Hu: Végül a karcsú, színes csónakocskával visszatértek a part mellé.En: Finally, with the slender, colorful little boat, they returned to the side of the shore.Hu: A nap már tényleg lenyugvóban volt, az egek vörösbe borultak, mint egy óriási szőnyeg.En: The sun was truly setting now, the skies turned red like a vast carpet.Hu: Bence mosolyogva nézett Zsófi szemébe.En: Bence smiled as he looked into Zsófi's eyes.Hu: „Megtanultam, hogy a pillanatot nem mindig kell megörökíteni.En: "I learned that you don't always have to capture the moment.Hu: Néha egyszerűen csak át kell élni.En: Sometimes you simply have to live it."Hu: ”Zsófi bólintott, és közösen figyelték, ahogy a nap vörös ívben leereszkedik a horizont mögött, megelégedve egy elfeledett, de emlékezetes balatoni nappal.En: Zsófi nodded, and together they watched as the sun descended in a red arc behind the horizon, content with a forgotten but memorable day at Balaton.

trees, chasing leaves along the cobblestone path.Hu: Emberek tömegei áramlottak a színes sátrak között, ahol kézműves termékeket és helyi finomságokat árultak.En: Crowds of people flowed between the colorful tents where they sold handmade products and local delicacies.Hu: A zenészek hangszerükkel varázsoltak, hagyományos magyar dallamokat játszva.En: Musicians enchanted with their instruments,

forgatagban.En: On this day, Zoltán, a quiet, contemplative artist, drifted through the hustle and bustle.Hu: Belső világában keresett ihletet a következő projektjéhez.En: He was searching his inner world for inspiration for his next project.Hu: Túlságosan elmerült saját gondolataiban, mégis érezte, hogy valami hiányzik.En: Although deeply immersed in his own thoughts, he felt that something was missing.Hu: Nem csak egy új téma után kutatott, hanem valaki után, aki megérti őt és a művészetét.En: He was not only looking for a new theme but also for someone who understood him and his art.Hu: Nem messze tőle Eszter, a kalandvágyó fotós, éppen Budapest utcáit fedezte fel egy megbízás keretében.En: Not far from him was Eszter, an adventurous photographer, who was exploring the streets of Budapest as part of an assignment.Hu: Keresett valami különleges történetet, amit megörökíthet.En: She was looking for a special story to capture.Hu: Bár a munkája lekötötte, szíve mélyén vágyakozott valaki után, aki megérti szenvedélyét a történetmesélés iránt.En: Although her work kept her busy, deep in her heart she longed for someone who understood her passion for storytelling.Hu: Zoltán először habozott megközelíteni bárkit is.En: Zoltán hesitated at first to approach anyone.Hu: Introvertált természete nem könnyítette meg a dolgát.En: His introverted nature didn't make it easy for him.Hu: De valamilyen kósza gondolat megérintette.En: But some fleeting thought touched him.Hu: Ma valami másképp volt.En: Today something was different.Hu: Magához vette a skicceit, és megindult a tömegbe.En: He took his sketches and ventured into the crowd.Hu: Eszter éppen akkor kapta lencsevégre a táncosokat, amikor megpillantotta Zoltánt.En: Eszter had just captured the dancers when she spotted Zoltán.Hu: Ahogy őt figyelte, észrevette a fiú kezében tartott rajzokat.En: As she observed him, she noticed the drawings he held in his hand.Hu: Kíváncsiság kínozta, ezért odalépett hozzá.En: Curiosity piqued her, so she approached him.Hu: „Már rajzolsz, vagy most kezded?En: "Are you already drawing, or are you just starting?"Hu: ” – kérdezte mosolyogva.En: she asked with a smile.Hu: „Most csak vázlatolok” – válaszolta Zoltán halkan, de a szemében érdeklődés csillant.En: "I'm just sketching now," Zoltán replied softly, but with interest glinting in his eyes.Hu: Beszélgetésük lassan indult, de ahogy a nap lenyugodott és a fesztivál fényei kigyúltak, egyre mélyebbre merültek saját világukba.En: Their conversation started slowly, but as the sun set and the festival lights lit up, they delved deeper into their own worlds.Hu: Sok közös vonást fedeztek fel.En: They discovered many common traits.Hu: Az álmokról, művészetről és a jövőről szóló beszélgetések kinyitották kettejük szívét.En: Conversations about dreams, art, and the future opened both their hearts.Hu: A fesztivál fináléja alatt, amikor a zenészek utolsó dallama halkan elszállt, Eszter és Zoltán meghozták a döntést.En: During the festival's finale, when the musicians' last tunes gently faded away, Eszter and Zoltán made a decision.Hu: Bár Eszternek csak rövid idő állt rendelkezésére a városban, megígérték egymásnak, hogy kapcsolatot tartanak.En: Although Eszter only had a short time in the city, they promised to keep in touch.Hu: A város fényei alatt, ahogy az ünnepi fények lassan kialudtak, megegyeztek, hogy megpróbálják együtt felfedezni a jövőt.En: Under the city's lights, as the festive lights slowly dimmed, they agreed to try to explore the future together.Hu: Zoltán megtalálta az inspirációt, amire vágyott, amely nemcsak új műveinek ígéretét hozta magával, hanem egy ígéretes kapcsolatét is.En: Zoltán found the inspiration he longed for, which not only promised new creations but also a promising relationship.Hu: Eszter rájött, hogy a történetmesélés és a kapcsolatok szorosan összefonódnak, ezért úgy döntött, hogy még a legelfoglaltabb napokban is teret ad ennek az új kapcsolatnak.En: Eszter realized that storytelling and relationships are closely intertwined, so she decided to make room for this new relationship even during the busiest days.Hu: Az őszi levelek tovább hullottak, de Zoltán és Eszter új időszámítást kezdett.En: The autumn leaves continued to fall, but Zoltán and Eszter began a new chapter.Hu: Lelkeik aznap este, Váci utca forgatagában fonódtak

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Autumn Harvest: A Tale of Resilience and Community Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-10-05-07-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Az aranyló nap sugarai eljátszottak a búzamezőn, ahogy az őszi szelek finoman ringatták a búzakalászokat.En: The golden rays of the sun played across the wheat field as the autumn winds gently swayed the wheat stalks.Hu: Katalin a farmján állt, figyelve a végtelen kukorica- és sütőtöktáblákat.En: Katalin stood on her farm, watching the endless fields of corn and pumpkins.Hu: A színek tűzpiros és narancssárga táncával köszöntötte az őszt a természet, de Katalinnak más dolgok jártak a fejében.En: Nature greeted autumn with a dance of fiery red and orange colors, but Katalin had other things on her mind.Hu: El kellett ugyan az utolsó kerítést is javítania, mielőtt a hideg hónapok beköszöntenek.En: She had to repair the last fence before the cold months arrived.Hu: Ahogy Katalin lehajolt a rozsdás kerítéshez, megcsúszott a nedves füvön.En: As Katalin bent down to the rusty fence, she slipped on the wet grass.Hu: Egy éles fájdalom futott végig a lábán, és tudta, hogy nagy a baj: eltörött a lába.En: A sharp pain shot through her leg, and she knew she was in big trouble: her leg was broken.Hu: Az erős, szorgos kezei, melyek olyan sokat tettek a farmért, most nehezedni kezdtek.En: The strong, diligent hands that had done so much for the farm now began to feel heavy.Hu: Hogy fogja így befejezni a betakarítást?En: How would she finish the harvest like this?Hu: Katalin szomorúan hátradőlt a barátságos csűr falának, ahol a késő őszi nap sugarai még gyengéden melengették a környéket.En: Katalin sadly leaned back against the friendly barn wall, where the late autumn sunrays still gently warmed the area.Hu: A gazdaság sorsa a szívére nehezedett.En: The fate of the farm weighed heavily on her heart.Hu: Mindig is félt attól, hogy egy nap elveszítheti azt, amit annyira szeretett és épített.En: She always feared that one day she might lose what she loved and built so much.Hu: De Katalin sosem volt az a feladós fajta.En: But Katalin was never the type to give up.Hu: Elhatározta, hogy megszervez egy "betakarítási ünnepet".En: She decided to organize a "harvest festival."Hu: Amikor őszi esték köszöntöttek, üzenetet küldött a szomszédoknak.En: When autumn evenings arrived, she sent a message to the neighbors.Hu: Meghívta őket, hogy segítsenek neki a betakarításban.En: She invited them to help with the harvest.Hu: Cserébe egy részét megkapják a termésnek, és egy kis ünnepet csapnak a csűrben.En: In return, they would receive a portion of the crops, and they would have a little celebration in the barn.Hu: Meglepő módon az emberek nagy számban érkeztek.En: Surprisingly, many people came.Hu: László, az idősebb szomszéd, aki mindig szívesen mesélt történeteket a régi időkről, már kora reggel ott volt.En: László, the older neighbor who always liked to tell stories about the old days, was there early in the morning.Hu: István, a fiatal gazda a szomszéd birtokról, aki épp most kezdte a saját gazdálkodását, szintén ott volt.En: István, the young farmer from the neighboring estate who had just started his own farming, was also there.Hu: És így folytatta mindenki más is, szorgalmasan dolgozva Katalin földjén.En: And so everyone else continued, diligently working on Katalin's land.Hu: A nap gyorsan elszállt a közös munkában, és a kukoricát, tököt és más terményeket sikeresen betakarították.En: The day passed quickly with the shared work, and the corn, pumpkins, and other crops were successfully harvested.Hu: Az égen már gyülekeztek a sötét felhők, mintha köszöntet akartak mondani az összegyűlt segítőknek a közösen végzett munkáért.En: Dark clouds gathered in the sky as if to thank the helpers for the joint work.Hu: Az este elérkeztével a csűr belseje meleg fényben fürdött.En: As evening arrived, the inside of the barn bathed in warm light.Hu: Zene szállt a levegőben, és mindenki együtt ünnepelt.En: Music filled the air, and everyone celebrated together.Hu: Az étel bőséges volt, a nevetés pedig még bőségesebb.En: The food was abundant, and the laughter even more so.Hu: Katalin a barátai körében ült, lábát felpolcolva, ahogy csodálta a közösséget, amely körülötte formálódott.En: Katalin sat among her friends, her leg propped up, as she marveled at the community forming around her.Hu: Rájött, nem kell egyedül szembenéznie a kihívásokkal.En: She realized she didn't have to face challenges alone.Hu: Szorosabb kötelék alakult ki közte és a szomszédai között.En: A tighter bond formed between her and her neighbors.Hu: Újra megtapasztalta, hogy a közösség ereje felbecsülhetetlen.En: She once again experienced that the power of community is invaluable.Hu: A farm, amely hamarabb nyomasztotta őt, most a szeretet és az összetartás jelképévé vált.En: The farm, which had felt burdensome earlier, now became a symbol of love and unity.Hu: És így érkezett el az ősz Katalin életébe, nemcsak a felkészülést jelentve a hideg hónapokra, hanem a szívek melegen tartására is egymás iránti odaadás formájában.En: And so autumn arrived in Katalin's life, not only signaling preparation for the cold months but also keeping hearts warm in the form of devotion to one another.

Áron said.Hu: „A nap fénye így tökéletesen rávetül.”En: "The sunlight will fall on it perfectly."Hu: Zsófia bólintott, de valami hiányolt.En: Zsófia nodded but felt something was missing.Hu: „Áron, mi lenne, ha színes leveleket is használnánk? Olyan szépek lennének a tökök körül.”En: "Áron, what if we used colorful leaves as well? They would look so beautiful around the pumpkins."Hu: Áron habozott.En: Áron hesitated.Hu: „Azt gondoltam, a terv szerint megyünk...”En: "I thought we would follow the plan..."Hu: De végül beleegyezett, kíváncsi volt Zsófia ötletére.En: But in the end, he agreed, curious about Zsófia's idea.Hu: A levelek tényleg jól mutattak, így kiegészítették a munkájukat.En: The leaves did indeed look good, complementing their work.Hu: Egy napon azonban az ég beborult, és hirtelen eső zúdult a farmra.En: However, one day the sky clouded over, and a sudden downpour hit the farm.Hu: „Az ég szerelmére! A projektünk!” – kiáltott Áron.En: "For heaven's sake! Our project!" Áron shouted.Hu: Mindketten azonnal kirohantak az esőbe, hogy megmentsék munkájukat.En: Both of them immediately ran out into the rain to save their work.Hu: Az esőcseppek a kukoricán táncoltak, a levelek csillogtak, mint a gyémántok.En: The raindrops danced on the corn, and the leaves glistened like diamonds.Hu: „Áron, nézz csak! Az eső milyen gyönyörűvé tette!” – lelkendezett Zsófia, miközben egy vizes levelet csodált.En: "Áron, just look! The rain made it so beautiful!" Zsófia enthused as she admired a wet leaf.Hu: Áron először bosszús volt, aztán meglátta, amit Zsófia is: az eső nem rontotta el a munkájukat, hanem egyedi szépséget adott neki.En: Áron was initially annoyed, but then he saw what Zsófia did: the rain hadn't ruined their work; it had given it a unique beauty.Hu: „Használjuk az esőt!” – javasolta Zsófia.En: "Let's use the rain!" Zsófia suggested.Hu: „Rakjuk ki úgy, hogy az vizesen is szép legyen.”En: "Let's display it in a way that looks beautiful even wet."Hu: Áron bólintott.En: Áron nodded.Hu: Most már bízott Zsófia intuíciójában.En: He now trusted Zsófia's intuition.Hu: Együtt dolgoztak, újraalkották a projektet az eső által inspirált színekből és textúrákból.En: They worked together, recreating the project from colors and textures inspired by the rain.Hu: A megújult projekt lenyűgözte a tanárt és az osztálytársakat egyaránt.En: The renewed project impressed the teacher and classmates alike.Hu: A harmóniát kölcsönző esőcseppek tettek róla, hogy a projekt természetes és élő legyen.En: The raindrops that added harmony made the project feel natural and alive.Hu: Áron rájött, hogy néha a legjobb terv az, amelyik alkalmazkodik a helyzethez, és hogy a kreativitás nem versenyez a részletek figyelmével, hanem kiegészíti azt.En: Áron realized that sometimes the best plan is the one that adapts to the situation, and that creativity doesn't compete with attention to detail; it complements it.Hu: Ahogyan az ősz tovább hullámzott a farmon, Áron és Zsófia büszkén nézték a közös munkájuk eredményét.En: As autumn continued to ripple through the farm, Áron and Zsófia proudly looked at the result of their collaboration.Hu: Mindketten tanultak valami fontosat: együttműködve képesek a legjobbat kihozni magukból, az utolsó levelekig.En: They both learned something important: by cooperating, they could bring out the best in each other, right down to the last leaf.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: When Elephants Made a Dad Disconnect and Connect Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-10-04-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Bence állt a Budapest Zoo és Botanikus Kert bejáratánál, mellette kis lánya, Réka.En: Bence stood at the entrance of the Budapest Zoo és Botanikus Kert, with his little daughter, Réka, by his side.Hu: Az ősz színei elvarázsolták a parkot; arany és narancssárga falevelek borították a földet, a levegő pedig friss volt és kellemesen hűvös.En: The colors of autumn enchanted the park; golden and orange leaves covered the ground, and the air was fresh and pleasantly cool.Hu: Ahogy beléptek, Bence mélyet lélegzett és elmosolyodott.En: As they walked in, Bence took a deep breath and smiled.Hu: Ez a nap Rékáé volt, érezte, hogy most fontos, hogy együtt legyenek és közelebb kerüljenek egymáshoz.En: This day was meant for Réka, he felt it was important to be together and become closer.Hu: "Mit szeretnél először látni?" kérdezte Bence vidáman.En: "What would you like to see first?" Bence asked cheerfully.Hu: "Az elefántokat!" kiáltotta Réka izgatottan, és már húzta is őt a park belseje felé.En: "The elephants!" Réka shouted excitedly, already pulling him toward the interior of the park.Hu: Amerre csak mentek, mindenhol családok kacagása és állatok zajai töltötték meg a teret.En: Everywhere they went, the laughter of families and the noises of animals filled the space.Hu: Az út során azonban Bence telefonja többször is megcsörent.En: However, during the visit, Bence's phone rang several times.Hu: Munka hívta, és bár előre megfogadta, hogy ma félreteszi a munkát, mégis fel kellett vennie.En: Work was calling, and though he had promised himself to put work aside today, he still had to answer.Hu: Réka néha megállt és várta, hogy apja végre befejezze.En: Réka occasionally stopped and waited for her father to finally finish.Hu: Hiába élvezte a látványt, érezte, hogy valami elvonja Bence figyelmét.En: Even though she enjoyed the sights, she could feel that something was distracting Bence's attention.Hu: Az elefántházhoz érve, az esti etetés előtt, Réka megállt, és mélyen Bence szemébe nézett.En: Arriving at the elephant house, just before the evening feeding, Réka stopped and looked deep into Bence's eyes.Hu: "Apa, szeretnék veled lenni, igazán. Olyan, mintha mindig csak a telefonoddal és a munkáddal lennél" - mondta csöndesen.En: "Dad, I want to be with you, really. It feels like you're always with your phone and work," she said quietly.Hu: Bence szíve összeszorult.En: Bence's heart tightened.Hu: Rájött, mennyire elhanyagolta a pillanat értékét.En: He realized how much he had neglected the value of the moment.Hu: Ebben a percben a döntés megszületett benne.En: At that moment, he made a decision.Hu: Elrakta a telefont, lezárta, és zsebre tette.En: He put away the phone, closed it, and slipped it into his pocket.Hu: "Mostantól csak veled vagyok, Réka. Ez a nap a miénk!" mondta eltökélten.En: "From now on, I'm just with you, Réka. This day is ours!" he said resolutely.Hu: Aznap délután együtt nézték az elefánt etetést.En: That afternoon, they watched the elephant feeding together.Hu: Réka csillogó szemekkel mutogatott és mesélte az elefántok történeteit, amiket az iskolában tanult.En: Réka, with sparkling eyes, pointed and told stories about the elephants that she had learned in school.Hu: Bence pedig figyelt és mosolygott, szívébe zárva minden pillanatot.En: Bence listened and smiled, cherishing every moment in his heart.Hu: Az ősz minden szépsége körülvette őket, az állatok közelsége pedig megteremtette annak az élménynek a varázsát, amire Réka mindig emlékezni fog.En: The beauty of autumn surrounded them, and the proximity of the animals created the magic of the experience that Réka would always remember.Hu: Bence most már tudta, hogy minden nap egy kicsit Rékáé, és a munka nem lehet fontosabb az együtt töltött időnél.En: Bence now knew that every day was a little bit Réka's, and work could not be more important than the time spent together.Hu: Mikor kijöttek a park kapuján, a nap lassan búcsúzott a horizont mögött, és Bence megfogadta magában: soha nem fogja elfelejteni, mennyire fontos is az a szépséges, közösen töltött idő.En: When they left the park's gate, the sun slowly bid farewell behind the horizon, and Bence made a vow to himself: he would never forget how important that beautiful, shared time was.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: When Love Escapes the Urban Jungle: Finding Peace in Silence Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-10-04-07-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Áron és Zsófi egy őszi délutánon a város szívében találkoztak.En: Áron and Zsófi met one autumn afternoon in the heart of the city.Hu: Sok levél borította az utakat, ahogy a szél vidáman sodorta őket.En: Many leaves covered the roads as the wind cheerfully swept them along.Hu: Mindketten élvezték a hűvös időjárást Budapest utcáin, amikor beléptek az Urban Jungle nevű kávézóba.En: Both enjoyed the cool weather on the streets of Budapest when they entered the café called Urban Jungle.Hu: Amint beléptek, egy sűrű dzsungel fogadta őket.En: As they walked in, they were greeted by a dense jungle.Hu: A falakat zöld növények fedték, és mindenhol indák lógtak.En: The walls were covered with green plants, and vines hung everywhere.Hu: „Imádom ezt a helyet!” kiáltotta Zsófi lelkesen, de Áron alig hallotta meg a mesterséges papagájhangoktól, amelyek a hangszórókból szóltak.En: “I love this place!” exclaimed Zsófi enthusiastically, but Áron barely heard her over the artificial parrot sounds blaring from the speakers.Hu: A kávézó tele volt emberekkel, mind körülöttük foglalták el a székeket és asztalokat.En: The café was full of people, occupying the chairs and tables all around them.Hu: Áron próbált Zsófira mosolyogni, de a zaj egyszerűen elnyomta a szavait.En: Áron tried to smile at Zsófi, but the noise simply drowned out his words.Hu: Leültek egy kis asztalhoz a sarokban, ahol leginkább a majomhuhogás volt hallható.En: They sat at a small table in the corner, where mostly monkey hoots were audible.Hu: Áron próbált figyelni Zsófi történeteire, de a fejében más járt.En: Áron tried to focus on Zsófi's stories, but his mind was elsewhere.Hu: „Hogyan lehetne ezt elviselni?” gondolta.En: “How can anyone stand this?” he thought.Hu: Áron íróember volt, és sokszor mély figyelem és csend kellett neki, hogy dolgozni tudjon.En: Áron was a writer, and he often needed deep focus and silence to work.Hu: Zsófi viszont élvezte a vibráló hangulatot.En: Zsófi, on the other hand, enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere.Hu: Hangosan mesélt arról, hogyan fedezte fel ezt a helyet, és milyen izgalmas itt ülni.En: She spoke loudly about how she discovered this place and how exciting it was to sit here.Hu: „Hallottad, hogy van élő kígyó a hátsó sarokban?” kérdezte izgatottan, de Áron csak bólintott, ahogy próbálta túlélni az újabb gorillakiáltást.En: “Did you hear there's a live snake in the back corner?” she asked excitedly, but Áron just nodded as he tried to endure another gorilla scream.Hu: Áron szorongva kezdte el a kávéját kortyolgatni, és próbálta elmondani Zsófinak az új könyv tervét.En: Áron anxiously began sipping his coffee and tried to tell Zsófi about his new book plan.Hu: De minden próbálkozását elnyomta a zaj.En: But all his attempts were drowned out by the noise.Hu: „Ha tovább maradunk, nem tudok összpontosítani” – gondolta Áron.En: “If we stay any longer, I won't be able to concentrate,” Áron thought.Hu: Ahogy a hangok egyre hangosabbak lettek, és a gorillakiáltások szinte dübörögtek, Áron érezte, hogy elérte a tűréshatárát.En: As the sounds grew louder and the gorilla screams almost thundered, Áron felt he had reached his limit.Hu: Zavartan nézett körül, majd gyengéden megérintette Zsófi karját.En: Looking around in dismay, he gently touched Zsófi's arm.Hu: „Szerintem ideje mennünk. Nem bírom elviselni ezt a zajt” – próbálta megértetni vele.En: “I think it's time to go. I can't take this noise anymore,” he tried to explain.Hu: Zsófi látta, hogy Áron kicsit feszült, ezért bólintott.En: Seeing that Áron was a bit tense, Zsófi nodded.Hu: „Oké, menjünk valahová máshová. Egy csendesebb helyre” – mosolygott rá megértően.En: “Okay, let's go somewhere else. To a quieter place,” she smiled at him understandingly.Hu: Amint kiléptek az Urban Jungle kávézóból, Áron fellélegzett.En: As soon as they stepped out of the Urban Jungle café, Áron breathed a sigh of relief.Hu: „Mit szólnál a Duna-parthoz?” javasolta.En: “How about the Danube riverbank?” he suggested.Hu: Zsófi örömmel elfogadta az ötletet, és kéz a kézben sétáltak tovább a csendesebb, nyugodtabb környezet felé.En: Zsófi happily accepted the idea, and hand in hand, they walked towards a quieter, more peaceful environment.Hu: Ahogy sétáltak, Áron úgy érezte, hogy először sikerült kicsit magabiztosabban kiállnia maga mellett, míg Zsófi kezdte felismerni, hogy néha a csend többet mond minden szónál.En: As they walked, Áron felt that, for the first time, he managed to assert himself a little more confidently, while Zsófi began to realize that sometimes silence says more than any words.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Hidden Tales and Cardboard Dragons: A Halloween in Budapest Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-10-03-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A levegő hűvös volt és titokzatos, ahogy Bence, Eszter és Gergő leereszkedtek a Budapest Vár alatti titkos bunkerba.En: The air was cool and mysterious as Bence, Eszter, and Gergő descended into the secret bunker beneath Budapest's Castle.Hu: Az őszi avar puhán ropogott a lábuk alatt, ahogy leereszkedtek a keskeny lépcsőkön.En: The autumn leaves softly crunched under their feet as they made their way down the narrow steps.Hu: Gergő az elemlámpa fényét ide-oda pásztázta, hogy megvilágítsa a falakat díszítő, régi málló írásokat.En: Gergő swept the flashlight beam around to illuminate the old, crumbling writings on the walls.Hu: „Ez lesz a legjobb Halloween!En: "This is going to be the best Halloween ever!"Hu: ” mondta Bence izgatottan, miközben megpróbált nem mutatni félelmet.En: Bence said excitedly, trying not to show his fear.Hu: Eszter csak mosolygott, mert tudta, hogy Bence próbálja bizonyítani bátorságát előtte.En: Eszter just smiled, knowing that Bence was trying to prove his bravery to her.Hu: Gergő, bár szkeptikusan, beleegyezett, hogy őket vezesse.En: Gergő, though skeptical, had agreed to lead them.Hu: A föld alatti labirintus tele volt sötét zugokkal és szokatlan tárgyakkal.En: The underground labyrinth was full of dark corners and unusual objects.Hu: Nyirkos volt a levegő, és a járatok, mintha suttogtak volna a történelmi titkokról.En: The air was damp, and the passageways seemed to whisper about historical secrets.Hu: Hirtelen neszezést hallottak az egyik folyosóról.En: Suddenly, they heard a rustling from one of the corridors.Hu: „Mi lehet ez?En: "What could that be?"Hu: ” kérdezte Eszter kíváncsian.En: Eszter asked curiously.Hu: Bence közelebb lépett, és a fény körbetáncolta az alagút falait.En: Bence stepped closer, and the light danced around the walls of the tunnel.Hu: „Menjünk, nézzük meg!En: "Let's go check it out!"Hu: ”Ahogy közeledtek a hangok felé, hirtelen kiléptek egy tágasabb terembe, ahol meglepetésükre egy csapat jelmezes ember jelent meg.En: As they approached the sounds, they suddenly stepped into a larger chamber, where to their surprise, they found a group of people in costumes.Hu: Mindannyian középkori ruhákban voltak.En: They were all dressed in medieval clothing.Hu: „Mit csináltok itt?En: "What are you doing here?"Hu: ” kérdezte egy zömök katona jelmezbe bújt hölgy.En: asked a lady dressed as a stocky soldier.Hu: „Ööö… csatlakoztunk a játékhoz?En: "Uh... we've joined the game?"Hu: ” mondta Bence zavartan, majd mosolyogva hozzátette, „Középkori kaland?En: Bence said awkwardly, then with a smile, added, "A medieval adventure?"Hu: ”A jelmezes emberek nevetésbe törtek ki.En: The costumed people erupted into laughter.Hu: „Nos, remek időben érkeztetek!En: "Well, you've arrived at a perfect time!"Hu: ” mondta az egyikük, „A próbák éppen kezdődnek.En: one of them said, "The trials are just beginning.Hu: Vegyétek fel a jelmezeket!En: Put on the costumes!"Hu: ”Bence, bár elsőre vonakodva, úgy döntött, hogy játssza a szerepét, nem akarta, hogy Eszter rajta nevessen.En: Bence, though initially reluctant, decided to play along, not wanting Eszter to laugh at him.Hu: Gergő próbálta figyelmeztetni, de Bence már egy habszivacs karddal hadonászva lépett ki a díszes lovagi ruhában.En: Gergő tried to warn him, but Bence had already stepped out, swinging a foam sword in an ornate knight's outfit.Hu: A következő jelenetben Bencének egy hatalmas habkarton sárkánnyal kellett megküzdenie.En: In the next scene, Bence had to battle a giant cardboard dragon.Hu: A sárkány kerekeken gurult, és legalább annyira komikus volt, amennyire félelmetes.En: The dragon rolled on wheels and was as comical as it was menacing.Hu: Bence habzó lelkesedéssel vetette magát a „csatába.En: Bence dove into the "battle" with foaming enthusiasm.Hu: ”„Vigyázz, Bence!En: "Watch out, Bence!"Hu: ” kiáltotta Gergő, miközben Eszter könnyeit törölgette a nevetéstől.En: Gergő shouted, while Eszter wiped away tears of laughter.Hu: A harc hevében Bence túl messzire lendített, és a sárkány átlendült egy asztalon, amin finom sütemények sorakoztak.En: In the heat of the fight, Bence swung too far, and the dragon toppled over a table laden with delicious pastries.Hu: Egy pill re csend volt, majd hatalmas nevetés tört ki mindenhol.En: There was a moment of silence, then eruptions of laughter echoed everywhere.Hu: „Bátor lovag!En: "Brave knight!"Hu: ” tapsolták meg Bencét, aki zavartan, de boldogan meghajolt.En: they applauded Bence, who, embarrassed but happy, bowed.Hu: Eszter odalépett hozzá, mosolygott, és a szemébe nézett.En: Eszter stepped over to him, smiled, and looked into his eyes.Hu: „Nagyon bátor voltál!En: "You were very brave!"Hu: ” mondta játékosan.En: she said playfully.Hu: Bence mosolyogva állt ott, és nevetett velük.En: Bence stood there smiling, laughing with them.Hu: Később, mikor kijöttek a bunkerból, a sötét égboltra néztek.En: Later, as they emerged from the bunker, they looked up at the dark sky.Hu: Bence megtanulta, hogy néha a legjobb benyomás az, ha egyszerűen csak önmagukat adják és nevetnek együtt az élet meglepetésein.En: Bence learned that sometimes the best impression is simply being yourself and laughing together at life's surprises.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Creative Tastes: A Family's Budapest Market Journey Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-10-03-07-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A piaci forgatagban, ahol az ősz aranyszín fényét megidézve a paprikák és sütőtökök melegednek, Krisztián magában motyogott, miközben Zsófia és Márton oldalt sétált mellette.En: In the bustling marketplace, where the golden light of autumn was evoked by the warm peppers and pumpkins, Krisztián muttered to himself as Zsófia and Márton walked beside him.Hu: A Nagy Vásárcsarnok, Budapest szíve, pezsegve fogadta a vásárlókat egy újabb napra.En: The Nagy Vásárcsarnok, the heart of Budapest, buzzed with life, welcoming shoppers for another day.Hu: Krisztián céllal érkezett: elkápráztatni a családját egy különleges vacsorával.En: Krisztián had a mission: to dazzle his family with a special dinner.Hu: Azonban a pénz csak szűkösen állt rendelkezésre, ami azonnal a romantikus elképzeléseit a valóság talajára rántotta.En: However, funds were limited, which immediately grounded his romantic ideas in reality.Hu: Tudta, hogy Zsófiának szem előtt kell tartania a pénzügyi kérdéseket.En: He knew that Zsófia had to keep the financial issues in mind.Hu: Márton pedig mindenki életét megszínesítette, bár a fókuszt nem mindig tartva erősen.En: Márton, on the other hand, infused everyone's lives with color, though his focus wasn't always steady.Hu: "Talán rizottót csinálhatnék... de az a jó parmezán drága," mormogta Krisztián.En: "Perhaps I could make risotto... but the good Parmesan is expensive," Krisztián muttered.Hu: Zsófia egy sóhajtás kíséretében próbálta nyugalomra inteni.En: Zsófia tried to soothe him with a sigh.Hu: "Ne aggódj annyit! Ha keresgélsz, talán találsz valami más érdekeset."En: "Don't worry so much! If you look around, you might find something else interesting."Hu: Márton, fersen lesve a standok között, felkiáltott. "Nézzétek ezt a gyönyörű póréhagymát! Talán valami franciásat is készíthetnél!"En: Márton, darting looks between the stalls, exclaimed, "Look at this beautiful leek! Maybe you could make something French!"Hu: Krisztián mosolyra fakadt.En: Krisztián smiled.Hu: Frissen a szeme előtt kavarta fel a képzeletét a póréhagyma, de tudta, hogy egyedi megoldásokra lesz szükség.En: The leek stirred his imagination freshly in front of his eyes, but he knew unique solutions would be necessary.Hu: Miközben lassan körbejárták a sorokat, megállt egy idős asszony standjánál.En: As they slowly wandered around the stalls, they stopped at an elderly woman's stand.Hu: A polc szélén egy kis tálkában rejtélyes, furcsa formájú gomba sorakozott.En: On the edge of the shelf, in a small bowl, mysterious, oddly-shaped mushrooms lay.Hu: "Ez mi?" kérdezte Krisztián a kíváncsiságtól fűtve.En: "What is this?" Krisztián asked, driven by curiosity.Hu: Az asszony mosolygott.En: The woman smiled.Hu: "Ez vargánya. Ritka, de most éppen kedvezményes áron van. Isteni finom levesbe."En: "This is vargánya. Rare, but it's on sale right now. Divine in a soup."Hu: Krisztián szíve megdobbant.En: Krisztián's heart skipped a beat.Hu: "Lehet vele valami különlegeset csinálni?" Az asszony bólintott, titokzatos mosolyával tovább csalogatva.En: "Can you do something special with it?" The woman nodded, enticing further with her mysterious smile.Hu: Zsófia és Márton figyelemmel követték Krisztián szemrehányás- és öröm-teli pillantásait.En: Zsófia and Márton watched as Krisztián's looks of reproach and joy unfolded.Hu: Végül döntött: "Megyek vele. Kevesebbe kerül, és kitalálok valami igazán lenyűgözőt."En: Finally, he decided, "I'll go with it. It's cheaper, and I'll come up with something truly impressive."Hu: A piacon tett kóstolások és beszélgetések után Krisztián a következő órákban a konyhában serénykedett.En: After sampling and chatting at the market, Krisztián spent the next few hours bustling in the kitchen.Hu: A gomba gazdag íze, az ötletek kavalkádja, és Zsófia praktikus támogatása hozzásegítették, hogy az este végül jobban sikerüljön, mint valaha is remélte.En: The rich flavor of the mushrooms, the whirlwind of ideas, and Zsófia's practical support helped make the evening more successful than he had ever hoped.Hu: A vacsoraasztalnál a család csak párás szemekkel bólintott elismerően, és Márton csak annyit mondott: "Kellően bolondos és finom, Krisztián.En: At the dinner table, the family nodded approvingly with misty eyes, and Márton said simply, "Perfectly quirky and delicious, Krisztián.Hu: Teljesen hoztad, amit vártunk tőled!"En: You delivered just what we expected from you!"Hu: Ez az este nemcsak egy finom étel köré fonódott, hanem Krisztián önbizalmát is növelte.En: That evening wasn't just about a delicious meal but also boosted Krisztián's confidence.Hu: Rájött, hogy a kreativitás és a gyakorlatias megoldások kéz a kézben járhatnak.En: He realized that creativity and practical solutions could go hand in hand.Hu: Az ősz ízei és a baráti nevetések nyomot hagytak, emlékeztetve őt, hogy a főzés is egy történetmesélés.En: The flavors of autumn and friendly laughter left a mark, reminding him that cooking is also a form of storytelling.Hu: A piaci nap véget ért, de a tanulságok és az ízek világában maradtak megörökítve.En: The market day ended, but the lessons and flavors remained immortalized in the world.Hu: Krisztián tudta, legközelebb még bátrabban fog a fazék mellé állni.En: Krisztián knew that next time, he would approach the pot with even more courage.

Today we – and the Habsburgs – stride back on to the grand stage of European politics. Not with a titan of history or monarch whose long and fruitful reign resonates across the centuries, but with Friedrich III, better known as the Reichserzschlafmütze - the imperial arch sleepy head, Or perhaps more fittingly the imperial arch dawdler.He ruled from 1440 to 1493, a total of 53 years - the longest reign of any Holy (or unholy) Roman Emperors (bar Constantine VIII). And yet, is also the most derided of reigns. In 1878 the Historian Georg Voigt sneered: “He was not remotely capable of handling such far-reaching politics, leaving Bohemia to its own devices, the Hungarian throne dispute to the helpless queen dowager, Austria to the arrogant dynasts, and the mercenary and robber bands.” “His light, simple hair, his long face with little movement, and his sedate gait betrayed a sluggish, deliberate nature, to which any enthusiasm, indeed any excitement, was alien. His love of peace has been endlessly mocked, but it was based on a completely dull sense of manhood and honour. No prince was so easily consoled by such insolent and repeated insults.” End quote.Modern historians are kinder, praising his thorough education and dogged determination to preserve what was left of the majesty of the Holy Roman Emperors. But even they can't avoid calling him flabby, underhand and happy to sell out his friends and allies. Not exactly the kind of guy one wants to spend three or four episodes with. But this is history, not Hollywood. The nice guys do not usually win by yanking hard on the levers of destiny. More often than not tenacious men of low cunning, who weasel their way through, are the ones who are bringing the results.And results he did get. At the end of his reign, the empire had changed profoundly. The open constitution of the Middle Ages had given way to a denser and more structured organization.Why and how Friedrich III – despite all his many shortcomings - got to move the needle of German history is what we will look at over the next few weeks.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.
Jim and Todd are back together in the Bourbon Road bar for a tasting flight of five unique whiskeys, along with a roundup of the latest bourbon industry news. They kick off the night with the Brothers Bond Regenerative Grain Bourbon. This 92-proof, four-year-old expression is a four-grain blend of wheated and high-rye bourbons from 70 barrels hand-selected by founders Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley. The hosts find a pleasant nose of sweet cornbread that opens up on the palate to honey-glazed fruits like peach and pear with a nice oaky spice on the finish. Next up is the first-ever Cigar Blend Bourbon from Buzzard's Roost. The hosts discuss what defines a "cigar blend"—typically a rich, complex, and intense whiskey that can stand up to a cigar. This 105-proof, double-oaked expression delivers, with an intriguing nose of new leather and cinnamon toast. The palate reveals notes of toasted marshmallow, a wisp of smoke, sarsaparilla, and even black licorice, making for a whiskey with a broad spectrum of flavors perfect for pairing. The third pour is the highly anticipated Bardstown Discovery Series #13. This complex, 110.8-proof release is Bardstown's first double-barreled expression—a blend of four Kentucky bourbons aged 8 to 15 years, which was then split and finished for four months in both new American white oak and Hungarian oak before being married back together. The result is a masterfully balanced whiskey with a nose of toasty vanilla and crème brûlée that leads to a palate of honeycomb cereal, cherry, and an extra-long, slightly drying finish. For the fourth glass, they travel to Iowa for the Cedar Ridge Barrel Proof Bourbon. At 116 proof and an approachable price, this bourbon is crafted from a unique mash bill that includes 14% malted rye. This special grain shines through, softening the spirit and creating a surprisingly sweet profile with prominent notes of peaches and sweet tea. The tasting concludes with a "dark horse": Silver Spring Sweet Rye from J.W. Kelly in Tennessee. This single-barrel, 122-proof Kentucky rye drinks nothing like a typical rye. The hosts are amazed by its unique profile, which starts with a nose of fig and an effervescent lemon-lime quality. The palate is a delightful surprise, full of fruity notes like cherry and strawberry, along with cotton candy, cacao, and a hint of white pepper on the finish.
