Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership with Ruth Haley Barton
This week Ruth is joined by TC Alum Jake Partridge for a conversation on mental health. Jake shares his story of three major depressive episodes and ongoing anxiety, describing depression as prolonged, reality-coloring despair, isolation, languishing, and a loud inner critic, and anxiety as obsessive, control-seeking mental overdrive. Together they discuss biopsychosocial-spiritual integration, the role of medication in “raising a baseline,” and the influence of transitions and attachment insecurity on faith. Jake describes learning to “rest the mind,” make peace with God's love, and meet Emmanuel in weakness, offering encouragement to seek help at the pace of grace and cultivate compassionate, appropriately bounded community. Season 29 is titled Becoming Human: With God in Our Bodies. Our goals this season are to confront the dualism between life in the body and life in the spirit, to hear stories of people who experienced their bodies as a place of encounter with God, and to explore the connection between the integration of life in our bodies and our spiritual lives with our leadership. We will be having deep, spiritual conversations with friends of the Transforming Center about their very human experiences in their bodies and how they've experienced God in and throughout these experiences. We will explore God in concrete bodily realities like gender, sexuality, race, ability, aging, illness, and death, to name a few.

On Monday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that in 2027, the United Kingdom will ban children under 16 from accessing major social media platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, X, and YouTube (but not YouTube Kids). Several other countries have passed similar bans, but the UK's measure will go further, blocking features like live-streaming and communicating with strangers while gaming. Furthermore, Starmer said the regulations will restrict access to artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots designed to simulate romantic or sexual relationships for users under 18 and may also impose curfews on social media use for under-18s.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!You can read today's podcast here and today's “Under the radar” story here and today's “Have a nice day” story here.You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.

Slightly later than billed, our latest episode sees a welcome return to Soundtacking to the utterly charming Finneas O'Connell, who joins us to discuss his score for Beef 2. We've already spoken to Sonny Lee, creator and showrunner of the hugely acclaimed and successful Netflix show, so please do listen to that if you haven't already.

The whole crew from is all together in person for an expansive deep dive into the cultural touchstones that shaped a generation. In this episode, we move beyond surface-level takes to dissect the complex legacy of Eddie Murphy's iconic 1982–1992 film run, specifically examining Arsenio Hall's crucial role in sustaining Murphy's momentum during that era. We also turn up the heat on our recurring music debates. We face the tough questions: Does Ludacris have a true "classic" album, and how do the legendary discographies of Toni Braxton and Donell Jones stack up against one another? We also pay respects to the 30-year legacy of UGK's Ridin Dirty, analyzing how Bun B and Pimp C fundamentally shifted the trajectory of Southern hip-hop. Beyond the music, we tackle the heavy hitters of pop culture—from the mysterious "Oscar Curse" that haunts award-winning actors to the ongoing discourse surrounding the need for a unified Juneteenth anthem. Plus, we discuss the A Different World reboot and the evolving struggle between maintaining celebrity privacy in the age of social media. 0:00 I Only Listen to 90s Music Intro 0:09 Cultural Significance and Costs of Prom Celebrations 3:44 Nostalgic Reflections on Music and Memories from the 2000s 7:12 Eddie Murphy's Career and Arsenio Hall's Role in Saving Coming to America 19:18 Rest in Peace to Peabo Bryson and his many slept on hits 25:14 Whtiney Houston and The Making of Heartbreak Hotel 29:08 TLC, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Nostalgia, and Impact of 90s Hip-Hop and R&B Soundtracks 33:47 Is Ludcaris really slept on as a rapper? 39:16 LA Reid says the best Laface album is Donell Jones.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Freaks—the podcast where we explore how melody can lift us out of darkness. I'm your host, James Cox, a self‑declared “professional handicapped” advocate for mental‑health awareness, and today I'm honored to sit down with one of the most resilient, inventive, and inspiring musicians you'll ever meet: Peter Manning Robinson.From a three‑year‑old prodigy who instinctively knew the piano was his lifeline, to a survivor of sexual abuse and street homelessness, Peter has turned every hardship into a conduit for healing. He's an Emmy‑winning composer, a multi‑BMI award‑winner, and the creator of the groundbreaking Refractor Piano—a hybrid of hardware and software that re‑imagines what a piano can sound like in real time.In this conversation we'll:Uncover how a childhood trauma and a profound love for the piano became Peter's emotional equalizer.Hear the story behind his double‑helix concept albums, the raw grief of External Incursions, and the fire‑laden inspiration behind Excursions.Learn how a bout of debilitating tendinitis forced him to reinvent his technique, leading to a six‑month “martial‑arts” piano regimen that restored his playing and sparked an explosion of melodic, lyrical work.Dive into the birth of the Refractor Piano, a prism‑like instrument that refracts acoustic sound into entirely new textures—performed live, with no synths, no overdubs, just pure, spontaneous creation.Get Peter's brutally honest advice for anyone who feels their passion slipping away, and his mantra for staying present, grateful, and forever curious.Whether you're battling depression, searching for a new creative outlet, or simply love hearing how one artist turns adversity into art, this episode is a masterclass in resilience, innovation, and the unshakable power of music. Grab a cup of coffee (or tea—Peter's happy with both), settle in, and let the conversation remind you why, when words fail, music always speaks.

Frontier — a coalition of tech, finance, and fashion firms that buy carbon removal credits to support the crucial technology — has secured another $915 million to power its next round of buying. The artificial intelligence giant Anthropic has also joined the coalition alongside its existing members, including Stripe, Google, JPMorganChase, and others.On this episode of Shift Key, Rob is joined by Hannah Bebbington Valori, who leads Frontier. They discuss the health of the carbon removal industry after a tough few years, how Frontier is changing its buying strategy for its newest round, and why Anthropic entered the coalition.

Slow Down and Question the Stories Controlling Your ChoicesWhy Do Stories Take Hold?I start by recalling a high school memory: there was someone I admired from afar but convinced myself was out of reach. The story I told myself then—“she'll never go out with me”—seemed so logical at the time that I never even tried to ask. This early lesson stuck with me in surprising ways as I got older. It wasn't just a high school crush; the same pattern resurfaces even in adulthood.For example, more recently, I hesitated to invite a high-profile guest to the podcast. The old narrative returned: “they're too important, they won't respond.” When I examined it, though, I realized it was just that—a narrative with no real evidence behind it. I didn't know they would say no. I wasn't rejected; I simply made up a story and acted as though it were already true.How Our Brains Protect UsReflecting further, I notice how often these inner stories are about keeping us safe. Our brains, in many ways, are doing their job—shielding us from pain or disappointment. But there's a danger in allowing this protective instinct to overrule reality. When self-doubt or insecurity becomes the main script running in our minds, we risk accepting fiction as fact.I encourage you to take a step back and observe the impact these stories have on your own life. Whether it's at home, at work, or in your personal relationships, these internal narratives can hold us back, sometimes for years. The good news is that none of this is set in stone; we all have opportunities to pause and question our assumptions.The Challenge and Reward of QuestioningI share a more personal example—the story I internalized during childhood about abandonment. Because of experiences in my early life, I unknowingly carried this fear into adulthood. It took decades before I finally challenged the belief that every relationship could end in abandonment. It wasn't easy—changing these ingrained stories takes real effort, and our minds are adept at convincing us their version is the truth.Still, through intentional reflection and curiosity, I was able to recognize that while abandonment can happen to anyone, living in constant expectation of it was no longer serving me. When we allow ourselves to slow down and really look at these stories, we can often separate fact from feeling, and open ourselves to new possibilities.Moving from Fear to IntentionWhether it's the hesitation to send a podcast invitation or deeper wounds from our past, the pattern is the same: the stories feel real and comfortable, sometimes more so than the possibility of a positive outcome. Our brains resist new evidence, preferring what's familiar and “safe.” That's why it's so important to confront these narratives with intention and, above all, self-compassion.I'm not here to lecture on brain science, but I am passionate about the importance of being intentional—slowing down, getting curious, and treating disappointment as another temporary guest, not as a permanent state. If we can listen to our disappointment, even give it a “microphone,” we may gain the courage to move past it. Over time, this builds new neural pathways—new patterns that support healthier thinking and richer relationships.Tips for Managing the Inner NarrativeBefore wrapping up, I offer a few practical suggestions:Slow Down: Find moments in your day to quiet your mind. Turn off music during your commute, take a few deep breaths, or carve out five minutes for reflection. Finding mental stillness, even briefly, makes space for honest questioning.Question Without Judgment: Take an inventory of your thoughts. Ask yourself, “Is this story really true? Why do I believe it? Is it serving me?” It's not about whether you're good or bad for believing a story, but whether it's true and helpful now.Validate and Adjust: Not every story we tell ourselves is false. Some have value and should remain part of our worldview. The key is to ensure they're valid, not self-limiting myths.Throughout the episode, I reflect on how our value systems shift as we age. As children, what truly matters is straightforward—family, close friends, relationships. But as we grow and life becomes more complex, outside influences (career, money, status) compete for top billing. Our internal stories often reinforce these shifting priorities, sometimes to our detriment.The Lasting Impact of Our StoriesAs I close, I return to a conversation with a client who realized while watching his children that the simplest values often matter most. It's a reminder that the stories we tell ourselves don't just affect us—they shape our relationships and what we pass on to others. By continually examining and updating these stories, we honor what's genuinely important.In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

Can a background as a professional jazz musician help you improve at chess? Matt Rathkey says “yes.”. Matt is this week's guest on The Adult Improver Series. Like many players, he fell back in love with chess during the COVID pandemic and soon found himself playing regularly, watching top-level broadcasts, and solving puzzles. Along the way, he drew upon lessons from years of studying music, particularly the role of pattern recognition, deliberate practice, and improvisation. After years of dedication, Matt has raised his Chess.com blitz rating from roughly 1200 to over 1900. Matt also has a fascinating day job. He is a learning designer on Duolingo's chess team, helping build what has quickly become one of the largest entry points into chess in the world. Launched last year, Duolingo Chess now has more than 7 million daily active users, most of whom are new to the game. Matt shares his improvement advice, discusses the parallels between jazz and chess, and reflects on what he has learned about the science of skill acquisition. This was a fun conversation, and it is encouraging to see so many new players discovering chess through Duolingo. 00:00 Introduction Join the free Perpetual Chess Discord here: https://discord.gg/7KxjmaTW Sub to my free newsletter here: https://benjohnson.substack.com/ Join the Perpetual Chess Patreon community here: https://www.patreon.com/c/perpetualchess 02:00 Matt Rathkey joins 04:10 The Return to Chess: A Pandemic Story 07:04 Rediscovering Chess: The Queen's Gambit Effect 10:08 Setting Goals: The Journey to 1500 Matt's USCF rating page: https://ratings.uschess.org/player/13412385 13:09 Learning Through Observation: Active Engagement 16:04 The Importance of Tactics in Chess 18:48 Understanding Openings: Beyond Memorization 21:41 Chess Culture and Personal Growth 24:42 The Future of Chess: Duolingo's Chess Course 34:56 Overcoming Chess Intimidation 36:48 Duolingo Chess: Making Chess Accessible 39:44 Engaging with Oscar: The Duolingo Chess Bot 42:53 Learning Pathways in Duolingo Chess 46:41 Designing Effective Chess Lessons 51:08 Personalized Learning in Chess 53:14 The Intersection of Music and Chess 01:02:06 Advice for Chess Improvement 01:08:24 The Journey of Continuous Improvement Learn more about your ad choices.

With Russell Wilson's recent retirement announced, we want to celebrate his Seattle Seahawks legacy, from the "F" draft grade of his 2012 draft class to the defining moments that made Seattle a Super Bowl champion for the first time. We highlight seven iconic plays: rookie-year scrambles vs. the 49ers and Patriots, the 2017 double-pirouette strike to Doug Baldwin, pinpoint touchdowns to Tyler Lockett, the frigid 2015 playoff vs. Minnesota, and the overtime dagger to Jermaine Kearse in the 2014 NFC Championship. The Hall of Fame argument focuses on how he stacks up against other dual threat inductees: John Elway, Fran Tarkenton and Steve Young. Wilson's elite efficiency, comeback resume and status as the only NFL quarterback to achieve a 40,000/5,000 passing-rushing milestone put him in elite company amony other HOF quarterbacks. In the second half of the show we get into the off-field lore that also defined his career. We also take a look at how Wilson's success changed the opportunities for shorter quarterbacks in the NFL.
