Episode 1 of 4 Part Series — Dying to Know: My Ayahuasca Experience Into the Sacred Valley of Peru This opening episode marks the true beginning of a five-part, raw, unfiltered account of my time working with plant medicine in the Sacred Valley of Peru at the Arkana Spiritual Center. Before any medicine was poured, before the visions or revelations, there was the quiet ache. The inner calling. The fear beneath the fear. The deep, restless sense that something in life still feels unfinished. Most people don't seek out Ayahuasca or Sapo because everything is perfect. They come because something inside them is dying to know, Who am I really? What is this life for? Did I miss something essential while trying to keep it all together? The paradox is that what we're dying to know is not “out there” somewhere in a jungle or temple. It's here, buried beneath layers of identity, protection, trauma, and roles that no longer serve us. Plant medicine doesn't teach you new information; it excavates. It dismantles the inner tyrant who insists life must be predictable and safe. It burns off outdated versions of the self so a truer knowing can rise. Ego death isn't your death; it's the death of everything blocking your access to truth. But the real challenge isn't the ceremony, it's integration. You can't pour awakened clarity back into the shape of an old life. Integration is about becoming the version of you that the medicine revealed and staying awake in a world designed to pull you back to sleep. This is why I came back to Peru, not for novelty or visions, but for the soul's quality control. To shed another layer, to die another small death, to remember something ancient living inside me. Something I had forgotten. This is the moment before the beginning.Where running stops.Where remembering starts.Where the real journey begins.

From jumping straight to deal structure to building repeatable acquisition programs that scale, Corey Kupfer shares the exact whiteboarding process he uses with clients to create successful deal programs across M&A, joint ventures, licensing, and any deal-driven growth strategy. In this solocast episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer walks through the five critical steps that must come before deal structure when building a repeatable deal program. Drawing on 35+ years of deal-making experience and countless whiteboarding sessions that have helped create platforms completing dozens of transactions, Corey reveals why most attorneys start in the wrong place and how proper planning separates successful programs from expensive mistakes. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover why deal structure should be the sixth step in your process, not the first, and how to identify your personal and business motivations before pursuing any deal program. Corey shares the five whys technique from Honda's former CEO to uncover your real drivers, how to define your ideal target or partner profile to avoid wasting time on opportunities that don't fit your strategic criteria, and why your value proposition must differentiate you from competitors who may have more capital. You'll learn how to assemble the right deal team with both internal and external expertise, why building a repeatable model before doing individual deals prevents cap table nightmares and integration problems, and the power of having template documents ready to demonstrate you're a serious player. The framework applies whether you're pursuing acquisitions, joint ventures, licensing deals, franchising, or any other deal-driven growth approach. THE WHITEBOARDING PROCESS: Most clients come to Corey asking about deal structure. What should the terms be? Should they pay cash or offer equity? What about earnouts? These are important questions, but they're not where you should start. After doing whiteboarding sessions with countless clients over 35 years, Corey can say with complete confidence that every single one has gotten significant value from the process. The firms that skip these steps end up with inconsistent deal structures, cap table problems, and integration nightmares. The companies that do this right create efficient, repeatable processes that let them scale their deal programs. THE INTERNAL JOURNEY: Corey often talks about things other lawyers don't discuss. He focuses on the internal journey, making sure business leaders and executives move forward on deals from the right place. When you get to wherever you think you want to go, you should actually be happy and satisfied, and it should help you achieve your objectives and goals. Too many entrepreneurs pursue growth strategies based on external pressures or assumptions about what they think they should be doing, based on entrepreneurial wisdom out there. They grow and do things in ways that don't actually end up making them happy and satisfied and aren't necessarily best for their business. STEP ONE: START WITH YOUR WHY: The first question in every whiteboarding session is why. Not just the corporate why, although that matters. Corey wants to know your personal why as the founder or executive driving this strategy. If your why is geographic expansion because your clients need services in other markets, that's legitimate. If your why is adding capabilities that will create a better integrated client experience, that works too. If your why is increasing enterprise value before an exit in five or ten years, there's no judgment about that. You just need to be clear on what drives you, because that clarity will shape every subsequent decision. Corey uses the five whys technique, which comes from the former CEO or chairman of Honda. You ask why five times, going deeper with each question. Why do you want to grow? To get bigger. Why do you want to get bigger? To serve clients better. Why will that serve clients better? Because they have needs we currently send elsewhere, and integration would improve their experience. Why does that matter to you? Because I genuinely care about my clients and believe this will make them happier while helping our company grow. That depth of understanding separates deal programs that succeed from those that become expensive distractions. STEP TWO: DEFINE YOUR TARGET PROFILE: Once you know your why, you can determine who you should be targeting. This is where many firms waste tremendous time and energy. Doing deals is a distraction from running your business, especially if you don't have a dedicated corporate development team with finance people, legal resources, and integration specialists. You need to be surgical about who you pursue. Think about the wealth management space, which Corey works in extensively. There are huge numbers of buyers right now. The market is incredibly competitive. If you're trying to compete with private equity backed aggregators on their terms, you'll lose every time. They can pay top dollar, close fast, and offer the second bite of the apple through rollover equity and multiple arbitrage. If you don't have PE backing, you need a completely different value proposition. Maybe it's culture. Maybe it's the opportunity for advisors to expand their service offerings. Maybe it's taking administrative burden off retiring founders so they can focus on what they love. Your value proposition should be authentic to who you are and what you can actually deliver. STEP THREE: ASSEMBLE YOUR DEAL TEAM: Before you start actively pursuing deals, you need to know who will be on your deal team, both internally and externally. This includes whoever sources deals for you, whether that's an internal corporate development person, an investment banker, a recruiter, or a consultant. You need financial expertise, and it better be someone with deal experience. Accountants, CFOs, and controllers who have never worked on transactions are very different from those who have. The same goes for legal. Your general corporate lawyer is not the person to build your deal program. Then you have all the integration functions. Technology integration. HR and culture integration. Client communication and retention strategies. You might not have every person in place on day one, but you need to know what roles are required and have a plan for filling them before you close your first deal. STEP FOUR: BUILD YOUR MODEL: This is where most companies make a critical mistake. They do deals opportunistically without creating a consistent model first. Someone approaches them, they negotiate terms, they close. Then another opportunity comes along, they do it differently. After three or four deals, they have completely different structures with different equity classes, different earnout provisions, different everything. This creates massive problems. If you have different classes of equity, your cap table becomes a mess. If sellers talk to each other and realize they got very different deals, you have credibility issues and potential legal exposure. Integration becomes nearly impossible because you don't have standardized processes. The best acquirers find their model and make it repeatable. They have template legal documents. They have standardized financial analysis and underwriting processes. They have systems for due diligence and integration. Every deal follows the same fundamental structure with minor variations based on specific circumstances. When you build your model, you're deciding the big conceptual components. Are you doing all cash deals or creating an equity class for rollover? How much will you pay upfront versus over time? Will you have retention requirements tied to revenue or client retention? What about earnouts for partners who stay involved in growth? In service businesses where client relationships matter, you almost always want some backend money contingent on retention. If you're buying a manufacturing business with hard assets, the calculus is different. STEP FIVE: DRILL DOWN TO DEAL STRUCTURE: Once you have your model, you can determine the actual deal structure for individual transactions. What specific equity class will you offer? If you're an S corp, you can only have one class of equity. Will you restructure as a C corp or an LLC to offer different equity terms? What exact percentage will you pay upfront versus backend? Over how many years? If you know you're targeting retiring business owners who want to cash out, they probably want more money upfront and less backend risk. If you're targeting younger partners who want to stay and grow, they might prefer less upfront and more backend upside. All of these specific terms fit within your broader model. You're not reinventing the structure for each deal. You're applying your established approach with minor customizations based on the specific situation. THE POWER OF TEMPLATE DOCUMENTS: The ideal scenario is completing your whiteboarding session, building your model, and creating template legal documents before you start seriously pursuing targets. When someone expresses interest, you can immediately send a letter of intent. You can start due diligence with established processes. You can deliver definitive legal documents quickly. This makes you look professional and serious. It shows potential partners that you know what you are doing and have your act together. Speed matters in competitive markets. Corey understands the practical reality. Template documents cost legal fees before you have a deal in place. Some clients aren't willing to make that investment without more certainty. Others have already started conversations with potential partners before they come in for the whiteboarding session. Recently, a client did the whiteboarding session in the morning, then met with a potential seller that same afternoon. The seller was ready to move faster than expected. The documents got built for that specific deal, which also became the templates for future transactions. REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS: The framework works across any deal type. While Corey uses M&A as the primary example because that's what most clients ask about, the principles apply to licensing strategies, joint venture partnerships, franchising programs, or any other deal-driven growth approach. The key is understanding what the ideal process looks like and getting as close to it as circumstances allow. A lot of these factors depend on your industry and the types of relationships with clients and customers. The contractual length and other factors with those customers and clients help dictate what the model will be around things like retention requirements. If you're bringing in retired folks who are looking to get out of the business and will be gone after a consulting arrangement, that will dictate a different part of the model than somebody who is younger, coming in, going to stay with the company, and wants to continue to grow. THE PERSONAL WHY MATTERS MOST: Company objectives matter. Strategic rationale matters. Financial considerations matter. But your personal why as the founder or executive is equally important. Why are we entrepreneurs if we're not creating companies that let us build the lives we want? Too many business leaders grow based on external pressure or assumptions about what they should be doing. They read about how some company scaled through acquisition, so they think they need to do the same thing. They hear about the multiples PE backed platforms are achieving, so they assume that's the only path. Then they build companies they don't actually want to run. They create obligations and structures that make them miserable. They achieve financial success but personal dissatisfaction. Your personal motivations are relevant and legitimate. If you want to build a legacy company, own that. If you want to create enterprise value for an exit, be honest about it. If you genuinely care about providing better client experiences, let that drive your decisions. When your personal why aligns with your company strategy, you create something sustainable. PROVEN RESULTS: These whiteboarding sessions have helped build platforms that have completed dozens of acquisitions. The firms that invest in proper planning make deal-driven growth look easy because they've built proper foundations. The firms that skip these steps end up scrambling, making mistakes, and wondering why their deal program isn't delivering expected results. The process creates tremendous value for every client who goes through it, helping founders create businesses they actually want to run while achieving their financial objectives. Perfect for business leaders considering deal-driven growth, entrepreneurs building acquisition programs, executives exploring joint ventures or strategic alliances, and anyone who wants to pursue deals without wasting time and resources on opportunities that don't align with strategic objectives. • • •FOR MORE ON THIS EPISODE:https://www.coreykupfer.com/blog/dealprogram• • •FOR MORE ON COREY KUPFER:https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreykupfer/http://coreykupfer.com/ Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

Most software teams still think of payments as a chore. We take you inside the playbook that turns it into a growth engine. I sits down with NMI CTO Phillip Goericke to unpack how embedded payments evolved from a basic checkout to a full-stack platform that handles onboarding, underwriting, payouts, analytics, and even embedded finance. The conversation is straight talk on what actually works when you're shipping fast and scaling globally.We dig into the architectural choices that matter: start with a no-code drop-in to activate revenue quickly, then progress to low-code SDKs and finally full APIs when you need deep control. Phillip shares where platforms stall - manual KYC, fragmented global rules, and data blind spots and how a modular approach fixes these without ripping out your stack. You'll hear how compliance-as-a-service, network tokenization, and adaptive 3D Secure can raise approval rates, reduce fraud, and simplify audits while keeping the checkout experience seamless.Looking ahead, we explore why identity, compliance, and data are the foundation for embedded finance. Philip outlines NMI's unified experience that brings payments, onboarding, insights, and new services like business capital into one place. We also tackle AI with clear eyes: use it to augment decisioning and anomaly detection, but wrap it with deterministic controls so money-critical outcomes are consistently right. The key takeaway is a mindset shift: stop treating payments as a feature and start using it as a strategic lever for revenue, retention, and product velocity.If you're building software with transactions anywhere in the flow, this is your blueprint for turning payments into a competitive moat.

Follow Proof of Coverage Media: https://x.com/Proof_CoverageIn this episode Connor sits down with Parker White, COO & CIO at DeFi Development Corp to discuss the strategies and future plans of DFDV, a pioneer in Solana-based Digital Asset Trusts (DATs). The founders, primarily former Kraken employees, discuss the initial inspiration and rapid development of their company. They delve into the significant advantages of Solana over other asset classes, such as Ethereum and Bitcoin, and emphasize the importance of being a first mover in the market. Key strategies include leveraging capital markets for growth, deploying assets on-chain to generate yield, and potential international expansions. The conversation also explores the market dynamics of DATs, comparing them to ETFs, and underlines a commitment to long-term ecosystem support and growth. The founders assert that the four-year cycle is dead, positing that cryptocurrencies now move in alignment with mega high beta tech stocks, driven by liquidity conditions.Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction00:48 - The Rise of DFDV: From Idea to Public Company04:02 - The Founding Team: Ex-Kraken Knights05:28 - Why Solana?09:03 - The Proliferation of DATs13:42 - Active Management Strategies for Solana20:13 - Reflecting on the Galaxy FTX Estate Deal20:54 - International Treasury Accelerator Program23:20 - Challenges of Mergers and Acquisitions in DATs26:31 - Maintaining MAV Multiples Amid Market Compression29:48 - The Death of the Four-Year Cycle34:34 - Adapting Strategies for Bull and Bear Markets37:41 - Future Plans and Integration in DeFi Disclaimer: The hosts and the firms they represent may hold stakes in the companies mentioned in this podcast.

This week, we sit down with Seth Smith, founder of the rapidly growing lab software company Greatlab.io (https://www.greatlab.io/), and Ryan Alexander from Vitality Dental Arts (https://www.vitalitydentalarts.com/), who's been living the GreatLab life since May and has plenty to say about it. Seth shares the long, winding road from e-commerce to dentistry, to clear aligners, to scanners, and finally to building what he hopes becomes the most modern, integrated, and speed-driven LMS in the industry. He talks workflow obsession, eliminating downloads, killing paper dockets, listening to lab pain points, and why he's visited over 100 labs (and keeps going). Ryan brings the real-world perspective from a 100-tech lab that went through multiple LMS transitions before landing on GreatLab. He explains how their booking teams shrank, inbound calls dropped by 50%, audits disappeared, and technicians suddenly found computers they “didn't have” once the system made their jobs easier. From the CRM that kills phone tag to ScanHub pulling every scanner into one feed, Ryan breaks down exactly what changed on the bench, in customer service, and across production. We also dig into bad scans (yes, 20% of them), doctor communication, automatic file routing, task automation, shipping integrations, data migration fears, and why some labs should not switch systems unless they're truly ready to modernize. If you've ever wondered what a cloud-based, automation-heavy, lab-built-from-the-ground-up LMS looks like—or why another lab described GreatLab as “a Ferrari while everyone else is a Civic”—this episode lays it all out. Learn more or request a demo: greatlab.io Find them in Vegas at NADL Visions (https://www.nadl.org/nadl-vision-21) and in Chicago at Lab Day (https://lmtmag.com/lmtlabday)!

Unser heutiger Gast hat ein duales Studium bei Unilever und der Wirtschaftsakademie Hamburg absolviert und später an der FernUniversität in Hagen den Abschluss als Diplom-Kauffrau gemacht. Außerdem hat sie an der Leuphana Universität Lüneburg promoviert. In ihrer Dissertation befasste sie sich mit einem hochaktuellen Thema: der beruflichen Integration von Geflüchteten. Nach über zehn Jahren in verschiedenen Rollen bei Unilever, unter anderem im Vertrieb, im Trade Marketing und bei der Markteinführung von Ben & Jerry's in Deutschland, hat sie 2017 die Geschäftsführung der Hacker School übernommen. Ihr Ziel: Kinder und Jugendliche für das Programmieren begeistern, insbesondere Mädchen sowie sozioökonomisch benachteiligte junge Menschen. Sie ist eine leidenschaftliche Netzwerkerin, Initiatorin, Möglichmacherin, und sie ist jemand, die Digitalisierung nicht als Schlagwort versteht, sondern als Chance für Teilhabe und Zukunftsfähigkeit. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 500 Episoden haben wir mit fast 700 Gästen darüber gesprochen, was sich bereits für sie verändert hat und was sich weiter verändern muss. Wie gelingt es, junge Menschen für digitale Kompetenzen wie Programmieren zu begeistern, gerade, wenn ihnen zu Hause keine digitalen Chancen eröffnet werden? Was sind die größten Herausforderungen, wenn man als Social Entrepreneur ein Thema wie digitale Bildung groß machen will: mit begrenzten Ressourcen, aber großer gesellschaftlicher Relevanz? Und was braucht es konkret, damit solche Initiativen nicht nur überleben – sondern wirklich skalieren können? Von Unternehmen, Politik und Gesellschaft? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

Vom Tellerwäscher zum Millionär. Fast: Rocco Delli Colli hatte Sehnsucht nach der Pizza, wie es sie nur in seiner Heimat gab. Darum eröffnete er 1990 in Rapperswil eine Pizzeria. Daraus wurde mit « Dieci » der grösste Pizza-Lieferant der Schweiz. Ein Gespräch über Erfolg, Integration und Heimat. Mit 18 Jahren packte Rocco Delli Colli seine Sachen und folgte seinem Vater in die Schweiz. «Dank meinem Fussballteam habe ich mich hier sofort wohlgefühlt». Er jobbte als Elektromechaniker und Schalttafelmonteur, doch innerlich wusste er schon damals, dass er ein Patron ist. Trotz des Erfolgs mit Dieci bleibt der 64-jährige umtriebig. Seine neuste Vision: Er will Italiens grösster Produzent von Bio-Olivenöl werden. Seit 20 Jahren ist Delli Colli auch Präsident vom FC Rapperswil-Jona. «Ich habe drei Familien: Fussball, das Unternehmen und meine Frau & Kinder. Letztere stehen zu Oberst.» ___________________ Habt ihr Feedback, Fragen oder Wünsche?

In der 342. Episode von Irgendwas mit Recht spricht Marc mit Christian Wensing, Volljurist und heute in leitender Position in der Rechtsabteilung von Douglas. Christian erzählt, wie er über ein Faible für Sprachen, einen juristischen Vater und erste vage Berufsüberlegungen zum Jurastudium in Münster gekommen ist, warum ihn wirtschaftsnahe Themen wie Kartell- und Gesellschaftsrecht fasziniert haben und wie Stationen im Bundeskartellamt, in Großkanzleien und in der Rechtsabteilung von Henkel seinen Wunsch nach internationaler Arbeit geprägt haben. Es geht darum, weshalb er den eher ungewöhnlichen Weg gewählt hat, den LLM erst nach dem zweiten Examen in London zu machen, welche Rolle Sprache und Netzwerke spielen. Wie bereitet sich ein europaweit tätiger Retailer mit Milliardenumsätzen auf ein Börsen-Listing vor? Was bedeutet eine umfassende Due Diligence aus Unternehmenssicht konkret und wie koordiniert man intern Datenräume, Fragenkataloge und externe Berater? Was unterscheidet die Perspektive eines Kanzlei-Anwalts von der eines Unternehmensjuristen, der auch die Integration von Zukäufen und die langfristige Entwicklung im Konzern begleitet? Wie fühlt es sich an, wenn Kapitalmarktrecht plötzlich zum täglichen Handwerkszeug wird, obwohl man ursprünglich aus dem Private-Equity- und M&A-Bereich kommt? Und welche Überlegungen sollten Studierende und Referendarinnen anstellen, wenn sie zwischen Großkanzlei, LLM, Promotion und Unternehmensjuristerei abwägen? Antworten auf diese und viele weitere Fragen erhaltet Ihr in dieser Folge von IMR. Viel Spaß!

The Jewish response to elections – whether the shocking victory of an openly anti-Semitic mayor in New York City or any political upheaval throughout history – must be twofold: before the vote, we exercise full hishtadlut (effort) by voting, cultivating goodwill with leaders, and supporting candidates who protect Jewish safety (as our Sages sent gifts to Caesar and Rabbi Akiva petitioned Rome); after the vote, we immediately pivot to total bitachon, recognizing that the final outcome is 100 % Hashem's decree, often sent as a wake-up call that we have grown too comfortable in galut. History repeats itself: German Jews declared Berlin their Jerusalem, Polish Jews called Poland “Polin – here we shall dwell,” and today many American Jews act as if the United States is the final stop; every time we forget we are in exile, Hashem sends a jolt – sometimes from the left, sometimes from the right – to remind us that no political party, president, or democracy is our ultimate protector.The comforting truth is that these “potches” (divine smacks) are acts of love meant to push us back toward our mission: to be a light unto the nations wherever we are, and ultimately to yearn for and move toward Yerushalayim. When we respond correctly – by increasing Torah, tefillah, teshuvah, and authentic Jewish pride – the bitterness miraculously turns sweet, just as October 7th produced hundreds of thousands of newly observant Jews and countless stories of open miracles among the hostages. The message is clear: get comfortable being uncomfortable in galut, stop putting ultimate faith in any human leader or system, and remember that only the almighy (Hakadosh Baruch Hu) runs the world – and He is nudging us home.Engage with us by sharing your questions, and we look forward to addressing them in future episodes, fostering a more interactive experience for our audience by submitting your questions to unboxing@torchweb.org_____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by the Nagel Family.This Episode (#25) of the Unboxing Judaism Podcast is dedicated in honor of The Nagel WeddingRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Levin Family Studio (B) on November 12, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 25, 2025_____________Unboxing Judaism Podcast is a discussion on fundamental Jewish and modern cultural topics through the lens of our Torah and heritage with Rabbi Yaakov Nagel and Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe from TORCH, in Houston, TexasASK!

Episode #1063 In this episode, we revisit a raw and honest conversation about what happens when masculine and feminine energies get out of sync in a relationship. This isn't about old-school gender roles. It's about energy, leadership, trust, and polarity — and what happens when those things go missing. Doug and Coach Chris unpack why so many men are stuck trying to be the "nice guy" and how that often leaves their partner feeling more like a caretaker than a lover. They dive into what women actually want: leadership, decisiveness, and safety. Most men have stepped back from this role without realizing it. They talk through what it looks like to lead from the heart, how to rebuild polarity, and small moves that shift the energy fast. If your relationship feels flat or disconnected, this conversation will hit home. Want to learn how to lead without trying to fix everything?

Going Pro Yoga (Formerly the Yoga Teacher Evolution Podcast)
What if chasing “one more healing” is the very thing keeping you from feeling whole??In this episode, Byron and Michael look at the fine line between helpful practice and healing addiction. They name the hidden driver—pain and disconnection—and how it can turn breathwork, plant medicine, and nonstop workshops into a spin cycle that never truly lands. Byron questions the inner program of “I am broken,” and offers a reframe: protect your energy with gentleness, boundaries, and integration—letting insights settle before reaching for the next fix. They contrast feminine healing (feeling, processing) with masculine commitment (clear intentions, follow-through), reminding us both are needed. Instead of digging forever, he suggests real-time healing: slow enough to notice what's alive now, journal it, meet responsibilities, and return to it with honesty. The heart of his message: stop outsourcing your power to healers or methods; claim your own change. If you've ever felt stuck in “just one more ceremony/class/session,” this conversation gently opens the door out.—-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:02:26 Addiction vs. Habit00:05:31 Pain, Disconnection, and the Void00:07:49 Dopamine, Sugar, Coffee, and Phones00:10:27 When Healing Becomes a Spin Cycle00:13:46 The “I Am Broken” Program00:16:15 Gentleness Without Bypassing00:18:08 Self-Talk, Journaling, Therapy00:21:10 Ahimsa & Svadhyaya in Practice00:27:03 Intention, Commitment, and Balance00:28:36 Integration > Endless Doing00:35:11 Real-Time Healing00:39:31 Altered States vs. Slowing Down00:41:07 Pedestals, Gurus & Claiming Your Power00:44:13 No Finish Line; Keep It Human00:46:10 Closing—-------—-------—-

In the 1960s and 1970s-when many communities resisted school integration and schools held low expectations for working-class kids and constricted teachers' autonomy-educators and students at a multiracial public high school in California collaborated to achieve something remarkable: they created a cohesive community that gave students a powerful sense of belonging.Over its 25-year life, the student leaders of Sunnyvale High School collaborated with visionary staff to reduce violence, broaden, and enrich the curriculum to include US Black history and Mexican American literature, and increase girls' access to sports. Working together, they fostered a collective sense of pride, persistence, and possibility that fed the success of students and graduates in careers and in communities.How did adults and youth forge such a powerful ethos of engagement and mutual responsibility, enabling so many to thrive? At a time when issues of racial and gender inequality are as heated as they were half a century ago, what lessons does the school offer? In this book, the story of Sunnyvale High School is told by the students and educators who shaped it and made it meaningful. They attest to the lifelong impact of their shared experience.She is the author of Working-Class Kids and Visionary Educators in a Multiracial School: A Story of Belonging. https://www.amazon.com/Working-Class-Visionary-Educators-Multiracial-School/dp/1666959685http://www.yourlotandparcel.org
Holotropic Breathwork sits at the center of this wide ranging conversation between Psychedelics Today co-founders Joe Moore and Kyle Buller. Drawing from decades of personal practice and assorted types of breathwork facilitation, they explore how breathwork methods from the Grof lineage including Dreamshadow Breathwork can prepare people for psychedelic work, support difficult journeys, and deepen integration over time. Kyle shares how his near death experience, somatic training, and breathwork facilitation shaped this new course on breathwork foundations, while Joe reflects on how reading Dr Stanislav Grof and years of experience in Holotropic Breathwork changed how he approaches psychedelics. Early Themes: Roots, Lineages, and First Encounters The episode opens with how each of them first found breathwork. Joe discovered Grof's writing in college, then traveled to Dreamshadow workshops long before he worked seriously with psychedelics. Kyle came to Holotropic style breathwork while studying transpersonal psychology at Burlington College, arriving as a skeptic who assumed people were exaggerating until his first session opened into a full psychedelic level process. They trace the roots of breathwork in modern psychology back to Wilhelm Reich, character armor, and early somatic approaches, then follow that thread into Grof's work and later branches. Joe and Kyle map out the different schools that emerged, including Grof Transpersonal Training, Grof Legacy Training, and Dreamshadow, and explain why the term "breathwork" has become a huge umbrella that covers everything from Wim Hof to short online sessions that are not actually Holotropic Breathwork. Core Insights: Breath, Nervous System, and Working the Edges In the middle of the episode they move into what this new foundations course actually covers and why it matters now. Rather than promising quick fixes, Kyle frames breath as a flexible tool for: Preparation before psychedelic sessions Navigation during intense or destabilizing moments Integration and nervous system support afterward They discuss window of tolerance, fight flight freeze responses, and how fast, deep breathing can open powerful experiences but also risk overwhelm if there is no somatic literacy. Kyle shares a vivid story from a ketamine training where his near death trauma was reactivated and how simple breath awareness, slow belly breathing, and body based skills kept him from panicking or fleeing. Throughout, they return to a key point: Holotropic Breathwork and related practices can restore agency. The breather chooses when to intensify, when to slow down, and how far to go, which can be deeply reparative for people whose trauma involved a loss of control. Later Discussion and Takeaways: Holotropic Breathwork as Foundation, Not Shortcut Later in the conversation, Joe and Kyle caution against "keeping up with the Joneses" in psychedelic culture. They talk about people chasing ever bigger doses, accruing trauma, and then needing years of therapy to sort it out. Breathwork, including Holotropic Breathwork in a well held group setting, is offered as a slower, more grounded way to explore non ordinary states while building skills that transfer into medicine work. They outline the core components of Grof lineage breathwork: intensified breathing, evocative music, focused body support, expressive art, and group sharing in a safe container. Joe highlights how group process, mandala drawing, and simply being witnessed can be as healing as the inner journey itself. They also flag practical next steps: Kyle's self paced breathwork foundations course at the Psychedelic Education Center, upcoming live online sessions, and in person weekend workshops in places like Breckenridge. Frequently Asked Questions What is Holotropic Breathwork? Holotropic Breathwork is a structured group process developed by Stan and Christina Grof that uses accelerated breathing, evocative music, supportive bodywork, art, and integration sharing to access non ordinary states of consciousness without substances. Is Holotropic Breathwork as intense as psychedelics? For some people, yes. Joe and Kyle both describe Holotropic Breathwork sessions that matched the depth of powerful LSD or ayahuasca journeys, while also noting that some sessions are quiet, restful, and focused on simple nervous system regulation. Can I do Holotropic Breathwork alone at home? They strongly suggest caution. Gentle breath practices can be explored solo, but Holotropic Breathwork as taught in the Grof lineages is designed for a trained facilitation team and a group container to reduce risk and support intense emotional or somatic processes. How does Holotropic Breathwork help with psychedelic preparation and integration? Breathwork helps people learn their own nervous system, practice staying with difficult material, and build trust in inner process. These skills often translate into more resilience, flexibility, and agency before, during, and after psychedelic sessions. Is Holotropic Breathwork backed by research? Research on breathwork is growing, especially around heart rate variability, stress, and subjective mystical type experiences. Joe and Kyle emphasize that early studies suggest overlaps with psychedelic states, but they avoid framing Holotropic Breathwork as a cure and instead present it as a powerful tool within a broader healing path. In a culture that often treats psychedelics like quick fixes, this episode makes the case for slow foundations, embodied practice, and honest respect for the risks. By placing Holotropic Breathwork and the other Grof lineage breathwork practices inside a larger conversation about trauma, agency, and community, Joe and Kyle offer a grounded path for anyone who wants to explore non ordinary states in a safer, more skillful way.

This powerful clip is from episode 336In this raw + illuminating microsode, I sit down with Christine Hassler to explore the invisible threads between childhood wounds, creativity, + the way we show up in our adult lives.We talk about the moments when expression felt unsafe — when you learned to silence yourSELF to be accepted — and how that suppression becomes the breeding ground for suffering.We discuss what it means to meet your inner child again — not with blame, but with compassion. This episode is for anyone ready to stop repeating the same emotional cycles + start integrating the lessons they've already earned. Because healing isn't about erasing your past — it's about responding differently this time.KEY REVELATIONS:• Your suppression wasn't protection — it was survival. But your expression? That's your liberation.• The inner child isn't a metaphor — it's the map to your healing.• Familiar doesn't mean safe. It just means known. Choose differently this time.• Integration is the practice of becoming who you already are beneath the conditioning.• Healing happens when you stop performing and start feeling.Missed the Full Episode?

Laura K. Field's Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right, published earlier this month, is a book we simply had to discuss. Listeners to this podcast will recognize its cast of characters—conservative intellectuals like Patrick Deneen, Michael Anton, John Eastman, Adrian Vermeule, and Harry Jaffa, among others—whose ideas and influence Field carefully categorizes and evaluates, bringing order to an unruly decade of intellectual history. Topics include: Leo Strauss and the problem of great teachers; the use and abuse of grand narratives by the right; how the Claremonters went all in on Trump; the permission given by postliberals to some of the nastiest impulses on the right; and more!Sources:Laura K.

The treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer has undergone numerous changes and is now used routinely in clinical practice. Please join us in a thorough discussion of current evidence and ongoing research of total neoadjuvant therapy in locally advanced rectal cancer with leaders in the field including Drs J. Joshua Smith, Julio Garcia-Aguilar, Emmanouil Fokas, and Benjamin Schlechter Hosts: · Dr. Janet Alvarez - General Surgery Resident at New York Medical College/Metropolitan Hospital Center · Dr. Wini Zambare – General Surgery Resident at Weill Cornell Medical Center/New York Presbyterian · Dr. Phil Bauer, Graduating Colorectal Surgical Oncology Fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center · Dr. J. Joshua Smith MD, PhD, Chair, Department of Colon and Rectal Surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center Guests: 1. Julio Garcia-Aguilar, MD, PhD Benno C. Schmidt Chair in Surgical Oncology Chief, Colorectal Service, Department of Surgery Director, Colorectal Cancer Research Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Professor of Surgery, Weill Cornell Medical College 2. Benjamin Schlechter, MD Senior Physician in the Gastrointestinal Cancer Center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Assistant Professor of Medicine, Medicine, Harvard Medical School 3. Emmanouil Fokas, MD, DPhil Professor and Chairman | Department of Radiation Oncology, Cyberknife and Radiotherapy | Faculty of Medicine, University Hospital Cologne Learning objectives: · Define locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) and describe the clinical staging that qualifies patients for total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT). · Explain the rationale for transitioning from traditional chemoradiotherapy (CRT) plus surgery to total neoadjuvant therapy in rectal cancer management. · Compare the designs, treatment regimens, and long-term outcomes of major TNT trials including RAPIDO, PRODIGE-23, OPRA, and CAO/ARO/AIO-12/16. · Evaluate organ preservation strategies—such as the watch-and-wait approach—after TNT and identify which patients are appropriate candidates based on clinical or near-complete response. · Summarize emerging research directions including: · Integration of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in surveillance and response prediction. · The role of immunotherapy in mismatch repair proficient (MSS) and deficient (dMMR) tumors.
