Join Jed Doherty for a heartfelt, high-energy episode featuring two creators who are all about getting kids excited to read. First, Jed chats with Laura De La Cruz, author of the picture book Lowrider for Sale. Laura introduces us to Gabby, a determined eight-year-old devastated to find a "for sale" sign on her dad's beloved lowrider. Through Gabby's efforts to save the car, kids glimpse the richness of lowrider culture—the chrome, murals, car shows, and especially the strong sense of community and family. Laura shares how the story grew from her own childhood—helping her dad with his car, losing him to cancer at eight, and wanting to honor his memory. Influenced by books like Yard Sale, she crafted a story that's emotionally real, with a hopeful but not "perfectly tied up" ending, reflecting the financial struggles many families face. In the second half, Jed welcomes back Maria Ashworth to introduce Where's Readsy?, an imaginative reading-ritual activity box. Kids meet Readsy, a book-loving creature who sneaks into homes at night, munches on "fuzzles," and leaves a trail of paw prints to the book he's been reading. Maria explains how the kit is designed to make kids want to read, not just read because they have to, and how her work as a roving storytime host for HOAs and communities inspired the project. She also opens up about being a struggling reader as a child and how that fuels her passion for bringing the magic of books into every family's home.

What can the final words of Moses teach Christians about God, His Torah, covenant faithfulness, and following Yeshua? In Episode 15 of Christians Follow Torah Too? — Part 7 of our Deuteronomy series, Sabbath Lounge continues our verse-by-verse journey through Deuteronomy 32–34, the final chapters of Moses' life and the conclusion of the book of Deuteronomy. These chapters contain some of the most powerful and prophetic words in the Torah—including the Song of Moses, God's warnings about Israel's future, Moses' final blessing, the commissioning of Joshua, and the death of Moses. But there's an important question behind these chapters: If Moses' final instructions came from God, what do they mean for people who follow Yeshua today? Could Deuteronomy 32–34 help us better understand the relationship between Torah, covenant, obedience, faith, and Christianity? In this Bible study, we examine the text carefully and compare what we find in Deuteronomy with the teachings of Yeshua (Jesus) and the rest of Scripture.  

In this episode of The Dream Journal, host Katherine Bell speaks with psychotherapists and artists Willow Pearson Trimbach and Eva Tuschman Leonard about their book The Emotional Truth of Dreams: Learning from Dream Dialogues in Psychotherapeutic and Spiritual Practice. Together they explore how dreams reveal emotional truth, invite deep listening, and open pathways into creativity, spirituality, and relationship.

They also discuss waking dreams, nested dreams, nonduality through multiplicity, interbeing, dream dialogue, and the creative exchange between dream life and artistic practice. The conversation also includes a listener question about dreamlike experiences during meditation and shared consciousness, leading into reflections on waking life as a dynamic dream field.

We're talking about the Bible's Influence on America's Legal Tradition. Happy 250th Anniversary of 'Murica. You're in for a treat . This is part 4 of 4 (but it's Part 8 of the discussion of this book begun Fall 2025) on the Second Chapter "The English and American Public Culture." This is episode 8 of the series on the book. This episode broaches the debate among the Founders on the use of the Bible in schools, for example in the election of 1800 of Thomas Jefferson, discussing pp. 42 through to the end of the chapter on p. 48. "The American Founders read the Bible," Oxford University Rhodes Scholar Daniel Dreisbach says in his first sentence of his Oxford University Press book. "They knew the Bible from cover to cover." "Its ideas shaped their habits of mind." "The Bible left its mark on the political culture of the era." Dreisbach's first sentence in his chapter 2 is: Ready ? "Anglo-Americans are people of the Book, and that Book is the Bible." WOW ! We had the author, Dr. Daniel L. Dreisbach, D.Phil. (Oxford), JD (University of Virginia Law School) on the podcast for Thanksgiving, Fall 2022. We're going to make a fair use, do a transformative reading of the book. We'd like to thank Dr. Dreisbach for writing this, and thank Oxford University Press for making it available. Support publishers when they make something worth reading. Support the publisher and throw some bidness their way. Support your brick and mortar book dealer. The Republican Professor is a pro-correctly-and-adequately-articulating-the-Bible's-appropriate-influence-on-American-politics podcast. Therefore, welcome again, through his writing, Dr. Daniel L.

The Light Gate Welcomes GUEST: Lee Strauss (Bigfoot/UFO researcher/experiencer/podcaster) Date: August 24, 2026 Time: 5-7pm pacific / 8-10pm eastern Episode 173 Discussion: Bigfoot & UFOs ABOUT THE GUEST: Lee is the Host of Spaced Out Radio's "Element 115," Friday evenings from 8pm-9pm Pacific. Lee's fascination with the unknown was sparked in his childhood, growing up in Washington State. Camping and hiking trips with his parents instilled in him a love for the outdoors, while his grandfather, a chief engineer at Boeing, ignited his interest in UFOs with captivating slides of sightings near Washington D.C. Influenced by his father and grandfather's passion for photography, Lee developed a keen eye for capturing life's moments. However, it wasn't until he began experiencing waking dreams that he stumbled upon a new purpose. Seeking answers, Lee joined a Meetup group for abductees and began working with Dr. Janet Colli. This journey led him to SUFON (Seattle UFO Network), where he met Tom Sanger, who gifted him his first night vision camera. Lee's first UFO sighting, captured at Mt. Baker, lasted an astonishing 15 minutes and sparked an unrelenting drive to master camera technology and capture evidence of the unknown. As a founding member of UFOITEAM, Lee's passion continued to grow. He later branched out to form "Ander and Lee on the Trail," where he pushes the boundaries of innovation, striving to uncover evidence of UFOs and Bigfoot.

Hey, it's Cindy, send me a text, get in touch![SELF-IMAGE] [MONEY MINDSET] [ENTREPRENEURSHIP]In this episode of The Fearless Entrepreneurs Podcast, host Cindy Chang sits down with Danielle Amos, the Mystic Millionaire Mentor, to explore the inner patterns that shape our income, opportunities, and outer results.Danielle shares how she went from being $100,000 in debt and working a corporate job she hated to building a million-dollar business. The shift began when she stopped relying on hard work alone and started examining her self-image, beliefs, and daily focus.Influenced by Bob Proctor's teachings, Danielle learned to take radical responsibility for her results and recognize how closely her outer world reflected what was happening internally.She shares the first practice that began changing everything: intentionally looking for what was working instead of constantly focusing on what was wrong.Danielle also opens up about the sacrifices growth required. She had to let go of complaining, accept changes in her social circle, and make investments before she felt completely financially ready. She traces many of her early beliefs about money back to growing up with teen parents, financial stress, and a family culture shaped by scarcity.Cindy and Danielle explore why earning more money does not always create lasting change. Without a shift in identity, people often return to a familiar financial “set point,” regardless of how much they earn in a particularly successful month or season.Danielle breaks identity change down into a practical framework: aligning your thoughts, feelings, and actions with the version of yourself who already has the result you desire.She also explains the purpose behind the luxury shopping experiences she facilitates with clients. These exercises bring beliefs about self-worth, belonging, desire, and fear to the surface in real time—including her well-known Louis Vuitton scarf exercise and 10x investment rule.The conversation also explores the emotional wobble that can follow a bold decision. Danielle explains why regret and fear do not automatically mean the decision was wrong, and how coaching, communication, community, and accountability can help you remain connected to possibility.Danielle shares what she means when she says “culture is currency,” why radical responsibility shapes the people and opportunities in your life, and how women can build businesses, families, and identities that reflect what they truly want.The episode closes with an honest conversation about motherhood, having it all, and Danielle's Momentum Summit for women who are growing their businesses while becoming the next version of themselves.Website - https://danielleamos.co/IG - https://www.instagram.com/thedanielleamos/FB - https://www.facebook.com/daniellebrodhagenamosLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielleamos/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@thedanielleamos

Welcome to How to Decorate! It has been quite a while since our last Trials and Triumphs episode, but Caroline, Taryn, and Liz are back with plenty of personal decorating updates. Between full basement renovations, bold reupholstery projects, and a very exciting upcoming video series, the hosts have been incredibly busy getting their homes in tip-top shape. Plus, learn why you should always provide your upholsterer with a detailed spec sheet—and why you might want to leave sewing box pleats to the professionals. Taryn's Trials & Triumphs: Guest Room Swap: Taryn officially transformed her downstairs primary bedroom into a guest room, painting the bed a beautiful muted green and bringing in some fresh floral pillows from Ballard Designs. She also finally brought up her old black picture frames from the basement to add contrast to the space. Basement Progress: The basement walls are finally closed in with drywall. Taryn and her husband created another guest bedroom (shopping the basement for leftover furniture and adding a queen mattress) and finished a bathroom complete with a tiled standing shower. Home Gym: Taryn finally got a dedicated workout room in the basement, requesting foam flooring, mirrors, box fans for air circulation, and a TV to check her lifting form. New Art & Wallpaper: Taryn hung a gallery wall on the back stairwell featuring a new briny, acidic green mixed-media floral painting from AK Hardman. She also installed a botanical grid Sanderson wallpaper in her breakfast room, making the window-filled space feel like a beautiful greenhouse. Taryn's Trial: Feeling confident after pulling her sewing machine out, Taryn spent eight hours attempting to sew her own box-pleat cushion covers for her dining chairs using a purple lilac gingham and maroon piping. It was a total disaster, looking more like a kindergarten drawing or a Catholic school skirt. Liz's Trials & Triumphs: House Tour Prep: The team is filming 10th-anniversary house tours for YouTube. The filming deadline gave Liz the kick in the pants she needed to finally tackle lingering projects. She replaced the original "boob lights" in the laundry room, swapped out a rusty bathroom vanity, and scrubbed and repainted her front security door. Pillow Perfection: Liz utilized Ballard Designs' free in-house design services to help coordinate and select all the pillows for her primary bedroom. Liz's Trial: Prepping to send her son Finn across the country for art school. They are clearing out old boxes—including one labeled "pre-move" from six years ago—and preparing for dorm life. She plans to eventually completely renovate his bedroom and bathroom, but is holding off until the dust settles from the college move. Caroline's Trials & Triumphs: Coffee Table Swap: Caroline decided against reupholstering a broken storage ottoman and instead purchased the Sabine coffee table from the Ballard outlet. She loves having a hard surface for entertaining snacks and a bottom shelf for styling design books. Chartreuse Bedding: Influenced by Taryn's love of the color, Caroline added the new wavy-patterned Violet bedding in chartreuse to her dark blue bedroom. Lamp Love: After borrowing a Sutton Tortoise mini glass lamp for the video shoot, Caroline loved it so much she bought it, pairing it with a ticking stripe brown shade to perfectly illuminate a corner of her kitchen counter. Caroline's Trial: Caroline took a TV room ottoman to be reupholstered in a hot pink Rebecca Atwood performance fabric. Because the performance fabric looked identical on both sides, the upholsterer accidentally sewed it inside out. They fixed it quickly, but Caroline (and Taryn) advise always making a detailed spec sheet with fabric swatches to avoid confusion when dropping off furniture.

When a senior expert walks out the door, years of judgment, pattern-recognition, and relationship capital often vanish with them. Dr. Bruce Dorey, founder of Jes-AI and author of Lift: Passing the Craft, and Digital Bell specializes in stopping that silent knowledge leak. Drawing on his decades in HVAC, sales engineering, and leadership, Bruce shows how AI can systematically capture “tribal knowledge” from conversations, documents, and deals so that future teams can still benefit from the hard-won lessons of today's top performers. Bruce also shares the idea of the Digital Bell, a modern, AI-powered way to snap out of autopilot and daily “drift.” Influenced by his years living in the Middle East and observing how the call to prayer regularly reset people's focus, he explains how leaders and professionals can build intentional, AI-assisted check-ins throughout the day. Instead of being yanked around by social media and email, you can design digital prompts that re-anchor you and your team to core values, long-term goals, and the key insights that matter most day after day, meeting after meeting. Bruce also pulls back the curtain on Jes-AI, a system built for sales organizations (especially in HVAC and technical fields) that turns messy, scattered data quotes, proposals, invoices, CRM notes into a strategic advantage. Jes-AI analyzes historical deals to reveal which clients actually buy, which ones never convert, who the true decision-makers are, and which internal experts you should involve on complex projects. This is AI as a coach and strategist, helping teams prioritize the right opportunities, build smarter playbooks, and stop wasting time on low-probability deals all while keeping sensitive data locked inside the company's own Microsoft environment. We go deep into succession planning, mentorship, and preserving institutional wisdom. Bruce explains why traditional corporate mentoring often fails and how the master–journeyman–apprentice model from old guilds (anchored in the Dunbar number of ~150 meaningful relationships) is still the most effective structure. Using AI to transcribe real mentoring conversations, extract the “nuggets” of hard-won expertise, and turn them into reusable playbooks, companies can ensure that when senior engineers, salespeople, or leaders retire, their knowledge doesn't retire with them. Bruce also shares a powerful personal story about recovering from a spinal injury and medication dependency, and how structured routines, human connection, and AI-assisted reflection helped him avoid drift and reconnect with what truly matters. https://youtu.be/J6sApODuMZo?si=0PT3edi5IA21wEus If you're worried about losing key people, watching your team operate on autopilot, or sitting on years of underused data in your CRM and documents, this conversation is your roadmap. You'll learn how to use AI not as a gimmick, but as a multiplier of human judgment, craftsmanship, and long-term thinking, so your organization can keep growing even as your experts move on. Quotes: “AI is kind of like the smartest guy in your office sitting with you and telling you what to do or what has worked in the past.” "Part of what we call tribal knowledge is just relationships; who do we know, and when we work with this person or this company, things get done."  "What I recommend is that you start capturing these insights, and then you remind yourself, and you remind your team, and the team reminds itself of what's important on a daily basis."

Dr. Gavin Ashenden joins Peter to explore Jesus' prayer for unity in John 17 and why the Catholic Church uniquely preserves the one Church Christ founded through apostolic authority, the Mass, and Petrine headship.  He contrasts this with Protestantism's proliferation of denominations and reflects on his own journey into Catholicism in 2019.   The conversation turns to the upcoming March for Life UK, the Catholic Church's unbroken opposition to abortion from the earliest Christian writings, and Gavin's personal awakening to the scale of terminations in Britain.  They also discuss righteous anger, the muted Christian public witness in the UK, demographic and cultural change, the loss of shared Christian memory, and why only a coherent, unified Church can effectively confront today's ideological pressures.   Gavin Ashenden began life intending to become a lawyer but was instead ordained as an Anglican priest, serving ten years in London parishes. After postgraduate work in the Psychology of Religion, he spent 23 years as a university chaplain and senior lecturer, with a PhD on the Oxford Inklings, teaching literature, psychology, and monotheistic mysticism. In the 1980s he smuggled Bibles and medicine to dissident Christians behind the Iron Curtain, including Catholic seminarians in Czechoslovakia, and endured arrests by Communist security services. He served on the Church of England's General Synod for twenty years, was Chaplain to the Queen for nine years, and presented a BBC Faith and Ethics radio programme for four years. He became a Catholic in 2019 and served as Associate Editor of the Catholic Herald. Influenced by recusant English Catholics, St John Henry Newman, and G.K. Chesterton, he has written for The Times, Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, and other outlets, and spoken at conferences across Europe and America. Connect with Gavin...

Start by defining exactly what you want, use tools like Claude or Codex to map the path, and focus on building one valuable system at a time.But an AI agent cannot manufacture demand from nothing. If you want an agent to produce sales, you need customer attention and traffic first. If you do not have enough traffic yet, that is the first machine you need to build.Subscribe to learn more about marketing, business growth, and how to use AI to build systems that create real leverage. AI Transformation Sessions with Manuel Suarez

Arthur Herman explains the American founders were heavily influenced by the Scottish Enlightenment, particularly the ideas of David Hume and Adam Smith regarding the pursuit of happiness. This subjective right was prioritized over property to potentially allow for the future abolition of slavery. The founding spirit extended to the Northwest Ordinance, creating communities like Marietta, Ohio, that were dedicated to education, religion, and freedom. (10)1738

The history of sports in Turkey is deeply contested. Over the decades, journalists, pundits, non-professional historians, sports scholars, and everyday people have offered competing narratives about the origins of modern sports in the late Ottoman Empire.  In The Ottoman World of Sports: Refashioning Bodies, Men, and Communities in Late Imperial Istanbul (University of Texas Press, 2026), Murat Cihan Yıldız tells the story of how Istanbul's Muslims, Christians, and Jews—gymnastics teachers, football coaches, weightlifters, journalists, athletes, and fans—created a gendered and class-stratified civic project that promoted athletics as a source of fun, beauty, and moral education. Influenced by the emerging global vogue for organized sports, all boys from the expanding middle class of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century imperial capital were expected to exercise and compete on the playing field in order to develop into moral men. Yet even as the embrace of modern athletics transcended ethnoreligious divisions, it did not erase them. Drawing on a wide range of archival research in multiple languages, Yıldız shows that sportsmen created new communal boundaries in team affiliations, fandom, and sports media. Adeptly reconstructing Istanbul's imperial culture as it was experienced more than a century ago, The Ottoman World of Sports recovers a lived imperial culture whose defining features were shaped by its multiethnic, multireligious, and multilingual sportsmen.

The world of Influenced is one of luxury, exclusivity, and Manhattan's Upper East Side. Bringing that world to life on an independent film budget meant balancing creative ambition with production realities: making every location, every shooting day, and every production decision count. This week on Below the Line, Bruce Edward Hall joins Skid to discuss Influenced, the independent comedy directed by Rachel Israel from a screenplay by Jill Kargman. Together, they explore the planning, coordination, and adaptability required to bring an ambitious feature to the screen, and how thoughtful preparation helped the production make the most of every opportunity. Among the highlights: Scheduling a 23-day feature around child actors, animals, celebrity cameos, and a one-camera production Using Jill Kargman's relationships to secure extraordinary Upper East Side locations that would normally be beyond an independent film's reach Making intimate locations and crowded luncheon scenes feel far larger than the budget allowed Coordinating celebrity cameos and guest actors whose schedules left little room for rehearsal Navigating everything from neighborhood disruptions to approaching thunderstorms while keeping production on track Throughout the conversation, Bruce offers a behind-the-scenes look at the work audiences rarely notice, revealing how countless production decisions combine to make ambitious filmmaking look effortless on screen.

The Townsend Plan and the Radio Priest Guest: David Pietrusza Book Title: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal Two unconventional figures heavily influenced Roosevelt's 1936 strategy: Dr. Francis Townsend and Father Charles Coughlin. Townsend, a physician, gained a massive following with his plan to provide $200 a month to everyone over 60, provided they retired and spent the money within 30 days. Though Roosevelt initially disliked the idea of "government checks," the political pressure from Townsend Clubs forced his hand. Consequently, Social Security was introduced largely as a reactive measure to neutralize Townsend's momentum. Meanwhile, Father Coughlin, a Canadian-born Roman Catholic priest, became a radio sensation with a voice that rivaled Roosevelt's for intimacy and warmth. Initially a supporter who coined the phrase "Roosevelt or Ruin," Coughlin turned against the President when he felt his influence on monetary policy was ignored. In a surreal meeting arranged by Joseph P. Kennedy at Hyde Park in September 1935 — the morning after Huey Long's death — Coughlin and FDR spent six hours conferring. The meeting failed to reconcile them, and Coughlin soon teamed up with Townsend and Gerald L.K. Smith to form the Union Party. They nominated Congressman William Lemke to run for president, hoping to force the election into the House of Representatives. However, as political amateurs, they struggled to even get on the ballot in major states like New York or California, ultimately failing to derail the Roosevelt machine. (3)

Challenging the Crooked Establishment in Sicily. Guest Author: Josiah Osgood. The Roman Republic's political landscape was heavily influenced by money, a reality exemplified by the case of Verres. Verres was the governor of Sicily, the vital "breadbasket" of Rome, where he systematically plundered art and embezzled funds. Although Cicero usually preferred defense work to earn favors, he made a strategic decision to prosecute Verres on behalf of the Sicilians. This choice was influenced by a shifting political tide and the support of powerful figures like Pompey, who wanted a symbolic cleanup of government corruption. Verres was a well-connected billionaire and a former follower of the dictator Sulla, making the prosecution a high-risk endeavor for Cicero. Cicero positioned himself as a crusading outsider fighting against a "crooked establishment" to protect the interests of the Roman people. By taking on this case, Cicero aimed to prove that he could challenge the most entrenched members of the Senate. This trial solidified his image as a hero of the law who was willing to confront the wealthy and powerful when he had the necessary political backing. 2CARTHAGE
