Is there actually more of a “crisis of meaning” in the smartphone AI age? Is it more likely the case that the vast majority of humans always been perfectly happy to accept whatever meager meaning happens to come their way, with a small, hand-wringing set of elites always freaking out that the latest thing is bad? If everyone is content to watch individualized content on their solipsism machines, is it just kinda rude of Rowdy Roddy Piper to come barging in trying to wake everybody up? Listen, if you must!

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, devoted wife, content creator, podcaster, published writer and author, IT extraordinaire, and an remarkable woman turning her powerful testimony into a masterpiece of redemption: AngelA little bit about Angel and what you can expect to hear about on today's episode:When most people look back on their childhood, they are flooded with tender memories. Those recollections feel like a gentle melody of innocence and love. For Angel, the melody was shattered before it could begin. Instead of fireflies and hugs, she remembers being a sad, terrified little girl shoved into cages, ritually abused in unspeakable ways, and forced to fight for her life in complete terror for thirteen relentless years. That is the childhood she carries. Yet from those depths of engineered darkness, Angel has risen as a living testament to the power of faith, resilience, and divine intervention.Born in 1996 into the ancient Reynolds bloodline, Angel's very existence was no accident. Her birth had been meticulously planned for over a century. Her maternal grandmother (a Reynolds) and step-grandfather were deeply embedded in high-level Rosicrucianism. While Angel's own parents were not occult practitioners, the bloodline's legacy reached her through her grandparents. Her distant cousin Nathan Reynolds has courageously shared parallel truths from the same volatile lineage on this very podcast. Angel's story stands unique: the occult did not come through her immediate parents, but through carefully orchestrated generational programming and military ties.Her birth itself unfolded under a strange and orchestrated shadow. As her mother went into labor and her father was struck with a severe, mysterious flu, her grandmother was the first to hold the newborn. In that moment, Angel was initiated into the occult. Soon after, doctors aligned with the same dark network extracted her DNA. She was cloned as an infant, switched out in a horrifying process that left physical evidence in her body. Her parents unknowingly took home the clone and raised it with flashes of what seemed like a normal childhood. The real Angel remained in captivity—first in her grandparents' basement, then transferred at around age six or seven to an underground military base where she would endure the next seven years.For years, Angel's memories were limited to scattered flashes from the clone's life above ground. Then at around age twenty-five, the programming began to fracture. Confusion, deceptive visions she mistook for “signs from God,” and relentless torment descended—she believed she was not fully human, that she was on a messianic mission, and that demons were raping and burning her alive every night. She was lost in deception.But God was not finished. What worked was a raw, relational breakthrough with Jesus. She saw Him as broken-hearted and righteously angry over her suffering. That vision dissolved years of resentment toward God and brought profound healing.Today, Angel lives in glorious freedom. She works successfully in IT, her intellect sharp and remarkable. She cherishes simple joys—Sanrio characters, time with her devoted husband and dogs, and caring for her body. Through her podcast Angel's Journey, her voice rings out like a powerful, attention-grabbing anthem of truth—unfiltered, compassionate, and full of hope. She speaks openly about satanic ritual abuse, underground captivity, the supernatural realm, cults, and the conspiracies that once held her captive, always pointing listeners toward the redemptive love of Christ.Angel stands as an extraordinary figure of resilience and faith. Her story moves hearts to tears and then lifts them in awe. It proves that no pit is too deep, no programming too strong, and no bloodline too cursed for the light of Christ to penetrate and redeem. She inspires survivors everywhere: healing is possible. Freedom is real. And chains can be broken. Angel is not defined by the cages or the darkness. She is defined by the light she now carries and freely gives. Her courage, her voice, and her unwavering stand make her a beacon of hope and an inspiration to all who hear her testimony. Her journey continues to set captives free—one testimony, one prayer, one beautiful day at a time. CONNECT WITH ANGEL: YouTube: @AngelsJourneyPodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@angelsjourney1.0

This is the first in a six-part series exploring the Seven Sacred Seals — the core wounds carried ancestrally in our DNA that quietly block manifestation. Today's focus: repression, the wound of the physical body.Jess breaks down why karma and unprocessed fear live in the body as tension, and how that contraction shuts down access to the higher subtle bodies, synchronicity, and divine will. She traces the line from chronic stress to burnout to disease, and explains why the antidote isn't relaxation as a nap or a spa day — it's a deep rest from survival itself.The episode moves into the architecture of attachment: why relationships so often form from fear rather than love (the "Hunger Games" of partnership), how energetic cords create expectation and heaviness, and why sovereignty — not codependency — is what actually lets the heart stay open. Jess shares personal stories along the way, including a break-in during her marriage and her 40-day water fast, to illustrate the difference between real fear and the illusion of it.The back half is a walk through the archetypes — warrior, queen, king, lover, magician, saboteur, trickster — and how they govern every threshold you're too afraid to cross. If you've ever said "someday" instead of "yes," this one's for you.In This EpisodeWhat the repression wound actually is, and why it's tied to the physical body and DNAWhy disease is often just unprocessed tension and fear held at a cellular levelThe difference between manufactured bliss states and genuine high vibrationAvoidance as a survival strategy — and why looking at others' suffering (not turning away from it) raises your frequencyThe "Hunger Games" model of relationship: attachment, tallying, and why people stay in relationships they don't even likeEnergetic cords, expectation, and the difference between sovereignty and codependencyThe archetypes — warrior, king, queen, lover, magician, saboteur, trickster — and how they move you across a thresholdWhy nothing worth having ever feels good to reach for, and why courage always precedes conviction, never the other way roundJess's own stories: a home break-in, marriage, and the 40-day water fast that taught her about certaintyComing NextEpisode 2 in the series: Denial — and why it might be the biggest block in the manifestation space.www.goinward.co.uk
There are spoilers ahead! For many films I'm afraid. I would especially avoid the episode until you have watched Ex-Machina (which you really really should immediately it really is phenomenal) as Jes does talk directly about the ending between 53:23 till 53:46. I have made a list of the films and books mentioned below. This is another detour episode and perhaps you're thinking I'm trying to avoid the very big task of recording 2001: A Space Odyssey content. And perhaps you're right. But I hope you enjoy this discussion. If you try to think of a futuristic city your mind may be drawn towards a real place but it could just as easily be drawn towards the great science fiction films that render our future on our screens. Films like Blade Runner, Minority Report, Fifth Element and (the granddaddy) Metropolis have all shown us what human futures could look like. Sometimes these visions are intimidating, terrifying or occausionally aspirational. These images in turn can affect and inform own understanding of what an unwritten future should be like. I have two wonderful guests to talk through the somewhat symbiotic relationship of science fiction and architecture Amy Brookes is an architect and an Associate Professor at the University of Reading. She has written extensively about architecture and one of her special interests is Architecture in science fiction literature and film. Jes Deaver is an award-winning architect as well as a filmmaker and writer. She is the author of the article The Architecture of Imagination which explores the parallels between science fiction and architecture.

Doug's daughter watched all four Hunger Games films in the span of about a week, and her takeaways were something else entirely. During the emotional final scene of Mockingjay Part Two, while Katniss and Peeta are shown living out a quiet life with their children, her primary concern was the gender of a background baby who has approximately three seconds of screen time and zero bearing on anything. She also forgot what propaganda meant two minutes after Doug explained it, needed a full pause-and-debrief when Johanna Mason got naked in an elevator, and spent a significant portion of Catching Fire asking questions that the movie was about to answer on its own. Doug is coping. The full debrief covers what she liked, what confused her, what she's going to ask about Se7en when the time comes ("What's lust, Dad?"), and the ever-growing list of films Doug is planning to work through with her next. Jaws, the full X-Men series, Knives Out, and eventually Deadpool when she's old enough to understand the references. Before that: the episode opens with a butthole tattoo guessing game where each host picks which of six illustrated designs they would choose, and Doug correctly identifies Justin's pick on the first try. Many Sublime songs are workshopped for thematic accuracy. Several are surprisingly applicable. Justin explains why the Sublime Sun is the objectively correct answer and cannot be argued with. Then: two embarrassing social moments that have been living rent free. Doug told his daughter's softball coach "I walk by your house all the time" while shaking his hand goodbye and has spent 48 hours replaying it. Justin misunderstood his neighbor's yard waste bin request, said "anytime buddy," walked inside, closed the door, and watched from the window as his neighbor retrieved the bin himself. Neither man will be recovering soon. Also: Marvel Rivals gave Captain America a summer skin with a historically significant bulge that had to be patched. Doug pulls up the before photo for viewers. It is substantial. The word "nerfed" was used in a sentence and everyone understood what it meant. Then the new game: Doug pulls Urban Dictionary terms including Canon Event, 404 Coded, Soft Blocking IRL, Noodle Groove, and Oil Up, and Justin has to figure out what they mean. Justin's definition of Noodle Groove involves falling asleep face down on sand and being dragged by his friends. It is not correct. It is better. This week's recommendations: Justin — Project Hail Mary (HBO Max). Not the movie he expected going in. Fantastic anyway. Go watch it immediately. Doug — Book of the Dead by Ringo Z. A LitRPG series about an 18-year-old given the outlawed Necromancer class at his awakening ceremony, now on the run from authorities while learning dark magic alone. Five books in the series. Doug finished book one and immediately started book two.

What's New to Netflix is alive and well, and we go full speed ahead into some rough terrain with the July 2026 movies and shows that Netflix has got coming out. Also, Russell Crowe portrays a boxer that falls on hard times during the Great Depression but has a comeback that takes America by storm in Cinderella Man from 2005. Then it's the remake of House on Haunted Hill from 1999, which may or may not be too twizzy for audiences that didn't grow up shoplifting nu-metal CDs from Best Buy. And we also talk about John Cena and Eric André's new Netflix movie, Little Brother, which somehow saved the formulaic buddy comedy for the foreseeable future. All of this plus Mr. Rogers, Mothra, Tom Brady, a backwards movie not being backwards, Emeril, two different Ticks, a house on the prairie that some would call little, The Hunger Games, and Will Ferrell as "The Hawk" in The Hawk. got a suggestion for the show?: whatsnewtonetflix@gmail.com
In this episode, we talk about:• What burnout really looks like during life's biggest transitions and how hitting the wall can be the wake-up call you never saw coming.• Why house hunting feels like competing in The Hunger Games, and how moving, starting over, and navigating big life changes can test your patience, resilience, and sanity.• The importance of stepping away, slowing down, and remembering the person you are outside of the roles you're constantly filling.…and SO much more.Follow Madison: @madisoncicconeWork with Madison 1 x1: heymaddz@gmail.comMadison's Website: https://madisonciccone.com/Buy the Gratitude Journal on Amazon PrimeRide with her at SoulCycle in Boston

What happens when The Rizzuto Show tries to remember everything that's happened so far this year? Absolute chaos.The crew attempts a halfway-through-the-year quiz, and let's just say... history, sports, movies, award shows, and basically every major headline take a beating. Somehow everyone becomes confidently wrong while still arguing like they're experts, which is pretty much the perfect recipe for a daily comedy episode.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where Jay-Z shatters Yankee Stadium records with an unbelievable three-night concert event featuring an all-star lineup that somehow keeps getting bigger. Billy Corgan pitches a dream Smashing Pumpkins Sphere residency, The Rock refuses to give up on his Broadway dreams with Kevin Hart, and Hollywood keeps rebooting everything whether we asked for it or not.The gang also dives into blockbuster movie rumors, Batman casting speculation, Hunger Games returning to theaters, Michael Jackson's record-breaking biopic, American Horror Story returning to its witchy roots, and why Love Island somehow managed to hijack everyone's television. There are passionate debates about depressing movies, surprisingly heartfelt tributes to entertainment legends, and several moments where everyone completely loses the plot.You'll also hear recommendations for an incredible revenge movie you probably haven't seen yet, reactions to new music releases, celebrity birthdays, pop culture nonsense, sports memories that may or may not be accurate, and enough sarcastic commentary to make your commute significantly more entertaining.As always, The Rizzuto Show manages to turn everyday headlines into complete insanity with quick jokes, ridiculous tangents, questionable facts, and the kind of conversations that only happen when friends who've worked together forever are allowed near microphones.Whether you're here for celebrity gossip, weird news, movie talk, sports disasters, or just want to laugh at grown adults confidently misremembering recent history, this daily comedy episode delivers exactly the kind of unpredictable fun you've come to expect.If you love hilarious conversations, pop culture commentary, entertainment gossip, celebrity news, and a funny morning show that never takes itself too seriously, you've found your people.Thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your day.

Donny Fandango set out with one goal: raise $53,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities...and then proceeded to absolutely crush it. The crew recaps the incredible Radiothon, the huge donations, the emotional moments, and—because this is The Rizzuto Show—the bizarre auction prizes everyone agreed to while Rizz was unconscious after wisdom tooth surgery.Speaking of surgery, Rizz shares the surprisingly abrupt experience of getting knocked out for his wisdom tooth extraction. No dramatic countdown. No floating through space. Just "What are your hobbies?" and instant blackout. The gang compares anesthesia stories, post-surgery meals, and why hydrocodone apparently turns Rizz into a man convinced invisible bugs are crawling on him.Lern makes her very first Facebook Marketplace purchase. What should have been a simple $35 weight bench somehow becomes an FBI-level covert operation involving porch pickups, Venmo timing, getaway driving, and apologizing to Ring doorbells.The crew debates Korean BBQ versus Brazilian steakhouses, discusses the strategy of "beating the house" at all-you-can-eat restaurants, admits to suffering from the legendary meat sweats, and somehow turns dipping sauces into a competitive sport.As if things weren't chaotic enough, Yellowstone provides one of the wildest viral videos of the week when an agitated bison launches a grandfather several feet into the air after a campsite encounter. The crew breaks down exactly what happened, why wildlife deserves way more personal space than tourists seem willing to give it, and why surviving a bison toss wasn't even the only animal-related headline making newsDanny McBride is writing a brand-new G.I. Joe movie. That's enough to send every child of the '80s and '90s into a nostalgic spiral, so naturally the gang spends way too much time debating what made the original cartoons great, why the previous movies never quite landed, and whether nostalgia is actually making a comeback or if we're all just getting old.Chef Liz from Tenacious Eats rolls into the studio with a full Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed dinner preview... and an actual Michelangelo joins the show. Suddenly we're talking Jim Henson costumes, pizza, arcade cabinets, Foot Clan hideouts, movie trivia, and enough food to make every listener immediately hungry.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where Jay-Z shatters Yankee Stadium records with an unbelievable three-night concert event featuring an all-star lineup that somehow keeps getting bigger. Billy Corgan pitches a dream Smashing Pumpkins Sphere residency, The Rock refuses to give up on his Broadway dreams with Kevin Hart, and Hollywood keeps rebooting everything whether we asked for it or not.The gang also dives into blockbuster movie rumors, Batman casting speculation, Hunger Games returning to theaters, Michael Jackson's record-breaking biopic, American Horror Story returning to its witchy roots, and why Love Island somehow managed to hijack everyone's television. There are passionate debates about depressing movies, surprisingly heartfelt tributes to entertainment legends, and several moments where everyone completely loses the plot.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Tourist Seriously Injured After Yellowstone Bison Launches Man 8 Feet In The AirBull gores runner in the face at Spain's San Fermin bull run festival, 12 others hurtRyanair passenger partially sucked out of window on flight from GreeceOklahoma woman, the last American in an iron lung, dies at 78Palm Harbor woman arrested for threatening to kill man, says ‘that's just what girls do': deputiesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

At 17, Jess was handed the world with no map, no money, and no one standing behind her. In this episode she traces what that really cost, and why she built The Vessel so other women never have to hand their daughters the same beginning. This is a conversation about bloodlines, structure, and the quiet responsibility of being the strong point in yours.Join the Vessel: https://spiritualised-the-vessel.netlify.app/In this episode:— The origin story: dance school at 17, a scholarship won alone, and the moment a friend's father (the drummer of Pink Floyd) revealed what backing actually looks like— The Hunger Games energetic: what it does to a young woman to be unleashed on the world with no resources, no mentorship, and no net— How survival mode shuts down perception, why we override red flags we can feel, and the decisions we make from depletion— Weak bloodlines and strong ones: why wealthy families never ask each generation to start from zero, and what that means for yours— Structure before love: how wealthy families protect their daughters' interests with trusts and oversight so love can be entered safely— The lost transmission between older and younger women, and why that wisdom must be passed down— A predatory planet: seeing the true energetics beneath the mask in individuation— Manifesting on behalf of your children: the side hustle, the monthly investment, and the magic of compounding over ten years— Why The Vessel exists: building a membership community that funds your investments, provides for your daughter, and lets you serve from a full cup— Community as medicine: 150 people, belonging over visibility, and why the nervous system was never meant to be perceived by millionsYou are the strong point in the bloodline.

Welcome back to another serving of The Straight Dope Show Crudités! In episodes 356 and 357, El Uno and TraB the Wonder dive into the optics of modern politics, comparing top-down dictatorships with organizations that actually listen to the people. They discuss Kamala Harris's qualifications and sharp debate skills, noting that she might be the most capable leader we've seen in decades. The guys also compare the current political circus to The Hunger Games, pointing out how society gets distracted by manufactured outrage while real global conflicts and domestic struggles are ignored by the algorithms.On a lighter note, the hosts share stories from their community outreach efforts with The Straight Dope Show Live, reminding everyone that giving back shouldn't just be for those who are struggling—working people deserve free shit too! Finally, the conversation shifts to entertainment as El Uno highly recommends the new Batman: Caped Crusaderseries on Prime, loving the animation, the adult themes, and Batman's surprisingly disrespectful attitude towards Alfred. They also debate the return of Wesley Snipes as Blade and Hollywood's desperate reliance on nostalgia.Download Rock Da Crowd TV on Roku, Apple, and Android devices to watch new episodes of The Straight Dope Show!00:00:00 - Top-Down Leadership vs. The People The hosts discuss the difference between blindly following leadership and a political organization that actually answers questions and engages with its base.00:02:08 - Kamala Harris: The Most Qualified? TraB praises Kamala Harris's confidence and debate skills, arguing she might be the most qualified person we've seen on a ticket in a long time.00:03:53 - Living in The Hunger Games A sharp comparison between the Hunger Games franchise and modern American politics, where the focus is on performance rather than the people.00:05:01 - Algorithm Amnesia & Global Conflicts The duo points out how the media and algorithms move on from ongoing tragedies, leaving the actual victims forgotten by the timeline.00:08:42 - The Straight Dope Show Live El Uno explains the mission behind their live community events, emphasizing that even people who pay their bills deserve to enjoy a free sandwich at the park.00:12:08 - Reviewing Batman: Caped Crusader El Uno gives high praise to the new Batman: Caped Crusader series on Prime, praising its adult themes and Batman's mean streak.00:24:03 - Batman vs. Pennyworth A hilarious breakdown of why Batman refuses to call Alfred by his first name in the new series, treating him more like an employee than a father figure.00:26:30 - The Return of Wesley Snipes as Blade The guys debate Wesley Snipes returning as Blade in Deadpool, and why Hollywood's desperation for nostalgia might be ruining new projects.

Today's Headlines: Trump's America 250 Great American State Fair opened on the National Mall in the rain, the power went out, the ferris wheel didn't work, there was no fair food, at least 10 states declined to send delegations, and Trump called it "packed to the brim" — the North Carolina booth displayed a Confederate flag overlay on a video loop before sponsors pulled out, which is on brand for an event whose main attractions were a Turning Point USA booth and a broken ferris wheel. Trump also unveiled a limited edition passport featuring his own face with the words "welcome, but be good!," announced plans to renovate a DC golf course starting September 1st, and personally inspected Lafayette Park to ensure it will have exactly 47 maple trees because he's the 47th president. The administration also announced the "Patriot Games" — aka the Hunger Games — a high school athletic competition on the National Mall in August where kids from each state compete for a $250,000 scholarship they split two ways, streaming on ESPN. The Iran war is back on: Trump announced strikes on Iranian targets after an attack on a commercial tanker, threatened to "militarily complete the job," Iran responded by asserting full control of the Strait, threatening to halt negotiations, and launching drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait — while Israel and Lebanon signed a framework agreement requiring Israel to withdraw if Lebanon verifies Hezbollah has been fully dismantled, with the US committing $100 million in humanitarian aid. On the Russia beat, coup rumors against Putin got louder this weekend as Russia continues losing in Ukraine, Putin has dramatically increased his personal security, and former Russian defense minister Sergei Ivanov — once seen as Putin's potential successor — died at 73, with his death announced first by a basketball organization he was honorary president of, which is suspicious to say the least. In other news, a new CNN analysis found that Americans in Democratic congressional districts live longer, with nearly 70% of House Democrats representing districts where life expectancy exceeds the national average versus over 70% of Republicans representing districts where it falls below, alongside higher rates of diabetes, obesity, and uninsured residents in Republican districts. Mississippi passed a law creating a registry of undocumented immigrants to share with ICE, covering fewer than 30,000 people out of nearly 3 million state residents. And finally, a dangerous heat dome is forecast for the central and eastern US just in time for July 4th celebrations, so happy 250th America.

Waters flowand clear light shines,summer's magic is now mine. reading: (to self) Red Rising—a little violent and disturbing and disheartening (a blend of Hunger Games meets Ender's Game), this book is also immediately engaging and swoops you right up into this sci-fi world of far-future colonists of Mars and how they have stratified society into a brutal color-caste system. Naturally, we must rely on a plucky, gifted, unwillingly heroic 16 year old to save the day (world).(to kids) Into Battle, book five in the Seventh Tower series—almost finished with this one (also color-caste based society with Red at the bottom, interestingly!). We're starting to get a little annoyed by some elements of this series, I have to admit. I don't want to spoil it, but sometimes the plucky, unwillingly heroic, teenagers get a little too “promoted” through the ranks than makes any logical sense.(still listening to with Tanner): How to Trap a Tiger—we've got about 20 minutes left in this one.

Side note: this reminds me of a quote I read after making this video: “God is the name of the blanket we throw over the mystery to give it shape.” (Barry Taylor)How might you tackle the challenges in your life by going in small?How might we tackle some ordinary situations in our lives that are heaping up and asking for attention—one book, one box, one basket, one item at a time?Can you allow yourself to go back to the roots?AffirmationsI am flexible as I build my future.I protect my resources by surrounding them with what I love.I take on my tasks with a playful air.I take care of what I love.I open my hands and let go.I allow my life to be as it is.I allow ease.I allow joy.I allow discovery.I allow transformation.I allow myself to go back to the roots.I create my life with joy.I accept this moment.Flowering Where We AreJune holds the full creative power of the year—everything lush, buzzing, ripening, in bloom.And still…sometimes we don't feel ready for all the brightness and busyness.In our Simple and Sacred circle this month, we honored that it's okay if this isn't your year to be in full blossom, maybe you're strengthening roots instead of showing flowers.You are no less magical for blooming slowly. Does it feel like this is a root-growing summer or a flower-showing summer for you?"the faithfulness I can imagine would be a weedflowering in tar, a blue energy piercingthe massed atoms of a bedrock disbelief"—Adrienne RichIn our Community Practice last week, I shared an essay by Daniela Molnar called “Flowering in Tar" (Oregon Humanities). She invites us into our senses for a "geohaptic" connection. Imagine that your six senses—touch, sight, sound, taste, smell, and intuition—are six thick roots extending from your body down, down, down to the center of the planet, where they anchor into what Annie Dillard once called Holy the Firm. Holy the Firm can be whatever you name as ultimate:• Goddess/God• gravity or time• molten metal or mystery• the sacred, the absolute, the hum at the center of thingsFrom that core, these roots rise back through the layers of the earth—rock and soil, water and air—reaching into your veins, your skin, your bones, your mind, and heart."You are socketed into the living world through your senses."This deep rooting is a gift.And, a quote to remember and draw strength from:“When the world feels hard, remember this: We live on a planet where trees feed their dying elders through underground rivers of root and fungus. Where whales carry songs older than memory across entire oceans and octopuses dream in shifting colour. Where every breath we take is given by trees and the algae drifting through the sea. Where plants rise around us as medicine, monarch butterflies travel thousands of miles on wings softer than paper, and tiny birds navigate by sensing the earth itself. Where starlight travels for millions of years before touching the earth, and tiny seeds break open stone in their longing for light.”-- Brigit Anna McNeilNote: this section was part of my Back to the Roots series free on Patreon.A summer blessing…And so,we crossed the thresholdinto summer,the vision we breathed into beingon the winter solsticehas now taken form.May we have the courage neededto stand in this liminal space,one foot in creative darkness,one foot in bright possibility.Let us look into our own cupped hands,seeing the seed dreamwe have nourished,that we've planted and protectedis now ready to bloom and thrive.Let us clear space around it.Let us weed awaywhat is not needed.Let us step backand invite the heat and passionof summer's lightto invigorate and strengthenthat which we have so patiently tended.It is now when the visionswe have nurturedbecome real.Sending love to all of you.Keep living your magic, Molly, Mark, + Family This is a public episode.

Trotzdem haben wir heute aber beste Laune und finden heraus, wie wir uns im Notfall selbst verteidigen würden, wenn jemand mit nem Messer auf uns los rennen würde.

You ever look around and think, holy crap, everyone is losing their damn minds? All this political rage, anxiety over money, and people choosing “sides” like it's the Hunger Games — it's actually NOT a glitch in your system. This is the episode that finally pulls back the curtain and exposes why it's happening, what history tells us about these moments, and just how dangerous things could get if we don't fix the TRUE root cause.We're diving deep into the cycle of populism, that scary time in history when ordinary people become capable of unthinkable things, all because of emotional reasoning and economic panic. Whether you're worried about the next election, feeling anxious about rising prices, or just sick of the anger and division, this is the context you need to see through the chaos.00:00 - Intro02:08 - It's The Economy Stupid08:43 - You Are Not Who You Think You Are20:11 - The Two Ways Our Current Era EndsPique: 20% off at https://piquelife.com/impactTruemed: Check your eligibility and start saving at https://truemed.com/impactQuo: Try for free PLUS get 20% off your first 6 months at https://quo.com/impactNetsuite: Right now, get our free business guide, Demystifying AI, at https://NetSuite.com/TheoryQuince: Free shipping and 365-day returns at https://quince.com/impactpodPlaudAI: Get 10% off with code IMPACT at https://plaud.ai/impactWhatnot: Download the Whatnot app today and get free shipping on your first order.ATT Business: Switch to AT&T Business at business.att.comShopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/impactKetone IQ: Visit https://ketone.com/IMPACT for 30% OFF your subscription orderWhat's up, everybody?

Cathy and Todd discuss Gladiator, released in 2000 and directed by Ridley Scott, it stars Russell Crowe as Maximus, a Roman general betrayed by the Emperor’s son Commodus, who murders his own father Marcus Aurelius to seize power, then orders the execution of Maximus and his entire family. Sold into slavery and forced into the arena, Maximus fights his way back to Rome for one purpose: vengeance. With a box office of $466 million, five Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor for Crowe, and a Hans Zimmer score that became one of the bestselling soundtracks of all time, the film didn’t just succeed, it reinvented an entire genre and inspired everything from HBO’s Rome to The Hunger Games. It’s filled with unforgettable lines like, “What we do in life echoes in eternity” and “Are you not entertained?”, and it happens to be one of Cathy’s all-time favorite movies.

Roll On, but enhanced! Adam Skolnick came over to help make sense of the Enhanced Games, the pay-for-PEDs enterprise that just went down behind a Vegas casino. Think Idiocracy meets The Hunger Games, with Bryan Johnson calling the action from under a giant UV umbrella. It veers dystopian: looksmaxxing, narcissism dressed up as self-optimization, and the slow creep toward transhumanism. Ultimately: why train at all? Enjoy!
