Podcasts about Inconvenience

Farah Naz Rishi is a busy do-er with fingers in many creative pies. She's worked as a lawyer, a video-game journalist, a voice actor and is a bestselling author. Farah has written memoir, 'Sorry for the Inconvenience', which details her experience as a Pakistan-American Muslim Woman, also has published many Young Adult books, including 'If You're Not The One', and 'It All Comes Back to You'.Now, Farah has published, 'The Flightless Birds of New Hope'. Here's the blurb...We follow Aden Shah—who has made a career of running away when things get hard— as he reunites with his estranged siblings in the wake of their parents' death. Tensions flare. And in a single moment of resentment, Aden sets free their parents' favorite “child”: their prize-winning Major Mitchell's cockatoo, Coco Chanel. What follows is a reluctant, chaotic road trip in a beat-up RV as the three Shah siblings chase Coco across the country. Along the way, they crash headlong into the eccentric world of birders, and into the unfamiliar people they've become. We discuss exploring connections, nature and sibling relationships. Also, you can hear how her work as a voice-actor influences her ability to get into character, and why she's ditched word-counts.You can hear how Farah shuts off her anxiety with wallpaper, how she tricks herself into writing, and about the first idea she had for her story.Get a copy of the book - uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineThis week's episode is sponsored by 'Minding Toby', the new novel by M.M.

Neoborn Caveman delivers a pro-humanity critique of compliance experiments reshaping choices into cages, exposing how banks, parking, and services add friction to analog options through app mandates while presenting digital paths as convenient, warns of inertia leading to total tracking where refusal becomes suspicious, highlights how each reasonable rung builds inescapable infrastructure linking to digital IDs and programmable currency, and urges embracing inconvenience now through cash use and analog insistence to preserve autonomy before alternatives vanish.Key TakeawaysCompliance relies on voluntary inertia.Friction disguises digital mandates.Analog alternatives become burdensome.Normalization expands control scope.Refusal signals wrongdoing in systems.Infrastructure locks in surveillance.Inconvenience preserves future options.Cash maintains independent choices.Awareness breaks gradual entrapment.Humanity requires deliberate resistance.Sound Bites"Have you noticed how we're living through the largest compliance experiment in human history, and most people think they're just getting better customer service?""The world is being reshaped so that certain choices become nearly impossible to make.""Many banks now require app-based authentication for anything beyond basic logins.""Don't have a smartphone? Well, you can visit a branch during business hours—assuming there's still one near you, and assuming you can get there when it's actually open.""It's friction disguised as security. Inconvenience packaged as protection.""Have you tried to park somewhere recently without an app? Tried to access certain government services without downloading something?""Each system, taken individually, seems reasonable. Each one offers an analog alternative. Technically.""But have you noticed how those alternatives work? They're slower. They require extra steps. They make you feel like you're being difficult.""What we're watching is a carefully constructed ladder where each rung seems reasonable in isolation.""Once the infrastructure is fully digital, fully tracked, fully programmable—asking nicely for your freedom back isn't going to cut it."Join the tea house at patreon.com/theneoborncavemanshow —free to enter, real talk, lives, no ads, no algorithms.keywords: compliance experiments, app mandates, analog friction, digital cage, voluntary control, surveillance normalization, digital ids, programmable currency, autonomy loss, resistance inconvenienceHumanity centered satirical takes on the world & news + music - with a marble mouthed host.Free speech marinated in comedy.Supporting Purple Rabbits.Viva los Conejos Morados.

What if we told you the key to a more fulfilling life is by making yourself a little....uncomfortable?We're not just talking about reducing scroll time on your phone or fighting the urge to binge watch a show.We're talking about doing the grocery shopping for a friend that you're about to pick up from the airport, or actually following through on dinner plans you committed to even though you maybe aren't in the mood anymore. The things that inconvenience us, but help create a sense of community and genuine belonging.Host Catherine Jette speaks to Israa Nasir, psychotherapist and author of Toxic Productivity. She also authored a Substack called 'A good life is inconvenient. We need to escape the cult of convenience'. The two discuss how to master the art of friction-maxxing, how to draw back on the systems and technologies that replace basic skills, and how to get comfortable being uncomfortable.

Pastor and author Bob Fabey shares a moment that changed the way he sees people forever — when an elderly woman collapsed in a grocery store and shoppers literally stepped over her to check out. Host Julie Rose and Father Fabey explore why fear, inconvenience, and social conditioning keep us from stopping, even when we know someone needs help. From everyday moments of discomfort to the devastating consequences of dehumanization, this conversation examines what happens when we stop seeing people as people. ABOUT THE GUEST Bob Fabey is a pastor at Living Faith Anglican Church in Tempe, Arizona, author of “Not My Jesus” and “The Dignity Gap,” and a TEDx speaker whose work focuses on dignity, faith, and human connection.

Joseph's story reveals the first natural-born disciple's conversion when faced with Mary's unexpected pregnancy. Initially planning to quietly divorce her, Joseph received divine intervention through an angel who revealed God's plan. Despite the social, financial, and personal costs, Joseph chose to believe that Jesus was the Messiah and that he needed a Savior. His faith was demonstrated through immediate action: marrying Mary, protecting her honor, and legally adopting Jesus. Joseph's transformation shows three marks of true discipleship: new priorities that put God's will first, a new identity rooted in following Christ, and new mercy toward others even when costly.

God has made a way for all of us to experience and notice Him in our midst, but many miss Him just like many missed that first Christmas. The innkeeper, he wasn't all that bad. His actions could be evaluated as moral, even kind - offering the only place he saw available. His limited vision caused him to tolerate inconvenience, unable to fully embrace and welcome it. Doing so, he missed Christmas, the miracle of Jesus' birth, in his own backyard.In these weeks leading up to Christmas, we're looking at those who missed Christmas so we can learn how to be a noticer. How can we become aware and spiritually awake so we do not miss the miracles and God's presence in our midst. Today, we're talking about:What can we learn from those who missed Christmas?Welcoming vs. tolerating inconvenienceThe impact of making room for inconvenience todayC A N D A C E  C O F E Rauthor + speaker ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠instagram⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠youtube⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠facebook⁠

The holidays are an unusually social time, filled with parties and family get-togethers. But for most of the year, we feel isolated and unsatisfied with our social lives. Our society isn't structured to support connection year-round. So it's an apt time to re-air this episode — a conversation with the writer Sheila Liming about rediscovering the lost art of hanging out.Liming is an associate professor of professional writing at Champlain College and the author of “Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time.” In the book, Liming investigates the troubling fact that we've grown much less likely to simply spend time together outside our partnerships, workplaces and family units. What would it look like to reconfigure our world to make social connection easier for all of us?I spoke to Liming in April 2023. But I find that this conversation provides a clearer sense of what's gone wrong in our social lives — and how to make “hanging out” with others more fulfilling.Note: We're still gathering questions for an upcoming "Ask Me Anything" episode we'd like to record.

Erin Del Conte, editor-in-chief of CStore Decisions speaks with Lindsay Griffith, marketing and community engagement manager for InConvenience Inc, the women-led team behind “The G Spot” (Good Spot and Gas Spot) convenience stores. InConvenience Inc is a relatively new company. The company was founded by CEO Tiffany Fraley. The journey began in 2023. At the time she had 25 stores, but when Mountain Express and SQRL Service Stations LLC went bankrupt, the stores were shuttered overnight. Fraley founded InConvenience Inc in February 2024. The company quickly reopened 15 Iowa stores and began remodels on the company's Missouri and Arkansas stores. In September 2024, the chain's first remodel was opened and now the chain is preparing to open its ninth remodel. Today, the chain owns 25 locations, with 20 now open and five more in the works, and many locations set for full remodels.

In this compelling conversation, I sit down with 21-year-old desister Simon Amaya Price, who identified as transgender from ages 14 to 17. Now serving as Outreach and Events Lead at the LGB Courage Coalition, Simon offers invaluable insights into why young people—especially those with autism—fall into gender ideology.We explore the perfect storm of factors that led to Simon's trans identification: autism, bullying, sexual assault, and false accusations in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Simon shares how his parents' firm boundaries against medicalization, combined with giving him a "long leash" to make mistakes and learn from them, ultimately helped him desist.Our discussion delves into practical strategies for parents, including the "match plus one" social skills framework, body-based distress tolerance techniques, and why allowing kids to experience natural consequences is crucial. Simon challenges the "neurodiversity affirming" approach that keeps autistic kids disabled, advocating instead for teaching real-world skills. We examine how disconnection from the body fuels gender dysphoria and why adventures, cold showers, and physical challenges can reconnect kids to reality. This episode offers hope and concrete tools for families navigating the gender crisis.Simon is a desister, writer, and speaker, fighting gender ideology with classical liberal values.

In Acts 24, we encounter a powerful examination of spiritual readiness that challenges our relationship with convenience. The passage follows Paul under house arrest in Caesarea, where Governor Felix requests to hear about his faith. Paul's response is remarkable—he preaches about righteousness, self-control, and coming judgment. These aren't comfortable topics, yet they form the backbone of the gospel message. Felix's reaction becomes the heart of our spiritual challenge: he was afraid and dismissed Paul, saying he'd call when he had a 'convenient time.' This moment reveals a profound truth about spiritual growth—it rarely happens on our schedule. We're invited to consider whether we're only willing to engage with God when it fits comfortably into our lives, or if we're prepared to embrace the inconvenient work of transformation. Paul exemplified being 'ready in season and out of season,' a principle he taught young Timothy. The most meaningful aspects of life—deep relationships, personal growth, childbirth, exercise, authentic conversations—all require us to sacrifice convenience. Similarly, our spiritual journey demands we engage with God's call even when it disrupts our plans. The question lingers: are we saying 'later' to God's work in our lives because it seems inconvenient, never guaranteed we'll have that 'later' moment?

In this episode, we talk about what it really means to lean into life's inconveniences instead of resisting them. Sometimes growth comes through the unexpected, the frustrating, or the messy. It's in shifting perspective, finding patience, and turning setbacks into opportunities.Connect with us:@herworkmatters_ @dbestevaaa@z.shanise Beat Provided By https://freebeats.io Produced By White Hot

Lately I've been hearing about how the price of community is inconvenience.You know what I'm talking about: those posts about how, if you want a village, you have to be a villager. You have to give the rides, buy the gifts, and drop off the meals. But I think these messages focusing on inconvenience are missing the point.Yesterday, I was at a baby shower for a friend who has wanted to be a mom for so long that I could cry thinking about how excited I am for her. Sure, buying presents and wrapping gifts are not my favorite ways to support people. At the same time, I was so unbelievably happy to be part of this celebration for her. Isn't helping your friends also, in some way, beneficial for YOU too? The inconvenient tasks on the surface level can be a burden, but I think the long-term payoffs are so worth it. In this episode you'll hear about:Why I think these messages about the inconvenience of community is out there: we live in an individualistic society that focuses on self-improvement and achievementFinding ways to support your friends that are enjoyable but not burdensome; for me, this is cookingWhy performing tasks to help our friends can be both burdensome AND joyful at the same time, and why I hate the idea of reciprocityResources & LinksListen to Episode 74 about small intimacies.Like what you hear?

Discipline is easy when things are going well, the real test is when it's inconvenient. In this episode, I'm talking about why true discipline shows up when the situation is tough, when it's not set up for you to win, and when showing up is the hardest thing to do. Motivation feels good, but discipline is about doing the work no matter how you feel. This is the secret sauce to professionalism, and today I'm breaking down how to know if your discipline is real. Show Notes:  [01:38]#1 It is not disciplined if it's always easy and is always convenient.  [06:14]#2 The reason people respect discipline is because we all inherently understand that it requires acting in the face of inconvenience.  [13:45]#3 The reason why most people have no discipline is because they will not act in the face of inconvenience.  [18:36]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1025: The Opportunity Is In The Opposites Next Steps:
