Épisode 1486 : Enfin. On y est. Instagram donne enfin accès à une fonctionnalité que la plateforme tease depuis longtemps : la possibilité de réorganiser librement sa grille de profil.Jusqu'ici, la grille Instagram restait largement prisonnière de l'ordre chronologique. Le dernier post publié prenait la première place, puis descendait mécaniquement au fil des publications. On pouvait bien épingler quelques contenus, mais impossible de reprendre vraiment la main sur l'ordre global du profil.Désormais, Instagram permet de déplacer ses posts directement dans la grille, peu importe leur date de publication. Une fonctionnalité longtemps attendue, repérée en test depuis plusieurs mois, et qui arrive après un autre changement important : le passage progressif des vignettes carrées à des formats plus verticaux, qui avait déjà bousculé la manière de penser les profils.Et à première vue, on pourrait se dire : bon, très bien, on va pouvoir faire des grilles plus jolies.Mais pour les marques, le vrai sujet est ailleurs.Cette nouveauté transforme la grille Instagram en espace stratégique.…Retrouvez toutes les notes de l'épisode sur www.lesuperdaily.com !

On this episode of Power House, Zeb Lowe sits down with Adam O'Daniel of Guild Mortgage to discuss one of the defining challenges facing housing professionals today: building trust in an era where information is everywhere and credibility is harder to earn than ever. Drawing from recent consumer research, O'Daniel explains why younger buyers increasingly trust friends, family, online communities and digital content more than traditional financial institutions. For lenders and real estate professionals, that shift changes the game. Trust is no longer inherited through a logo or brand name—it must be built through education, transparency and consistent value. The conversation explores the transition from the attention economy to the intention economy, where AI-powered search and recommendation tools are reshaping how consumers find information. Rather than competing for clicks, O'Daniel argues that professionals should focus on becoming the most helpful answer when consumers actively seek guidance. That means creating educational content, answering real questions and building a digital presence that establishes expertise over time. Related to the episode: ⁠Zeb Lowe's LinkedIn⁠ Adam O'Daniel's LinkedIn Guild Mortgage The Power House podcast brings the biggest names in housing to answer hard-hitting questions about industry trends, operational and growth strategy, and leadership. Join HousingWire's Zeb Lowe every Thursday morning for candid conversations with industry leaders to learn how they're differentiating themselves from the competition.

Held in the shadow of Mary's husband's illness, this talk is a simple reflection on life's realities and the sentiment, "Very sad, no problem," as a path of equanimity.

Lindsay Leahy is back on The Found Podcast for the third time, and this one is unlike any conversation we've had before. You might know Lindsay as the founder of The Restoration Project, the author of Take It All Apart (a USA Today bestseller!), and someone who has spent the last several years helping leaders and organizations do their most meaningful work. But in this episode, Lindsay shares that she's stepping away from what she built, into something she never saw coming. We talk about the book, what happened after it hit those bestseller lists, and the word that started everything this year: beyond. And then we go deeper into where "beyond" has actually led her, which is a brand new role as the Director of Leadership Formation for the Archdiocese of Dubuque. It's unexpected. It's emotional. It's one of the most honest conversations I've had on this podcast.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: The two dark weeks before the book launch that Lindsay didn't expect, and what she found on the other side Client stories from the Take It All Apart process (including Camden, a client stepping into marriage and family while keeping his magic) Lindsay's word of the year: beyond, and the "lay down your nets" moment that changed everything Practical, tactical tools for moving beyond stress, distraction, and busyness (yes, the dumping exercise is back) What it really means to move beyond hustle mode, and why it's ultimately a worthiness issue How a volunteer role inside the Archdiocese of Dubuque turned into a moment she could not say no to What it felt like to surrender a thriving business at the height of its success Why your definition of success doesn't have to look like anyone else's   Resources Mentioned: Take It All Apart by Lindsay Leahy (USA Today Bestseller) The Beyond Series on Lindsay's blog: gritgratitudeandgrace.com Beyond Stress and Distraction Beyond Busyness and Hustle   Connect with Lindsay: Substack: Lindsay M.

In this episode we explore how deep, intentional relationships and smart systems—including the power of AI—can turn networking into both a source of purpose and predictable revenue, even while navigating big life shifts like motherhood.Redefining Networking as Relationship Building: Sarah Hubbard shares how moving beyond transactional connections to genuine relationship-building is crucial for sustainable business growth, likening networking to a long game rather than a quick win.The MAP(P) Framework for Strategic Networking: We break down Sarah's four-part approach: Mindset & Intention, Authentic Presence, Precise Messaging, and Purposeful Follow-up, and discuss how each element can be customized to fit your personality, energy, and business goals.The Role of Systems and AI in Scaling Connections: Sarah details how leveraging systems and AI can streamline your networking, cut prep time, and make maintaining relationships manageable, especially when time and energy are limited.Navigating Networking Through Life Transitions: From being a mom to experiencing major pivots and rejections, Sarah talks about vulnerability, intuition, and why aligning your business with your current life season is essential for wellbeing and success.Overcoming Networking Mindset Blocks: We discuss common struggles—like the fear of feeling salesy with friends or getting discouraged by slow results—and offer actionable reframes and practical communication tips to network authentically without burnout.TLDR:Intentional, systematized networking rooted in authentic relationships is not only more sustainable but also a more enjoyable pathway to business growth—especially for those balancing big life transitions like motherhood.

Seven years ago, a mom broke down in front of her during a home visit, and that one moment cracked open everything. Not a business plan. Not a five-year roadmap. Just a clear, quiet knowing that moms needed support too, and that she was going to be the one to build it. What came next was seven years of showing up without a blueprint, figuring it out season by season, and learning that intention carries you further than any plan ever could.What You'll Learn:✅ Why knowing your why holds everything together when the how is still completely unclear✅ What fifteen years of marriage and seven years of business have quietly taught her about what it actually means to nurture something✅ How allowance, not pushing harder, is what's made the most room for real growth✅ What it costs to want to do everything at once, and what her kids keep pulling her back to✅ A guided reflection to help you name what you're nurturing right now and what it would mean to bring intention, allowance, and compassion to itChapters00:00 Maycember Kickoff01:41 15 Years Married02:25 Seven Years Mindful02:35 Origin Story 201804:17 From Hustle to Shift05:46 No Blueprint Needed06:34 Intention as North Star07:48 Allowance and Evolution08:41 Collective and New Baby10:15 Compassion and Presence11:31 Trusting Whats Next12:34 Gratitude and Thanks13:57 Invitation to Work Together14:28 Reflection and ClosingSend us Fan MailSupport the showNJ RESIDENTS, WORK WITH VANESSA Book a free 15-minute therapy consultation https://www.freetobemindful.com/contact LET'S STAY CONNECTED

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the Iranian regime has no intention of honoring any deal. They view negotiations merely as opportunities to delay while pursuing their goal of conquering and converting others through violence, as they believe Allah commands. The regime exists not to govern but to expand its influence worldwide. Also, Mount Zion—the literal 4,000-year-old birthplace of Judaism in what critics call Israel's disputed or occupied territory—predates Islam, Christianity, and any notion of Palestinians. Jew-haters and Israel-haters use “Zionist” as a supposed distinction from “Jew,” yet there would be no Jews without Mount Zion. Under President Polk, when Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, and California were added 180 years ago despite Mexico's claims; no one today debates those states as “occupied territory,” nor questions that Americans live on land taken from Indian tribes 140 years ago. Yet Israel must endlessly defend its far older homeland against the same logic. Later, the birthright citizenship Supreme Court decision will demand courage to rule correctly - failure to do so would inflict severe, lasting damage on the nation. Some weaker Republican justices may uphold the status quo to avoid intense personal backlash from the left while the left operates a well-organized, networked, and well-funded militia that confronts ICE and local police across the country. Finally, with the election on Tuesday Rep Chip Roy calls in to update his run for Texas Attorney General. Roy also talks about the effort to Islamify Texas. Islam is primarily a political ideology masquerading behind the First Amendment to wage jihad against the West. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

I'm back with a new solo episode this week, and I'm talking about something that is incredibly common, deeply complicated, and almost never talked about honestly: Living together while separated. Same house. Same kitchen. Same hallways. Maybe even the same bedroom — though if you can create different sleeping arrangements, please do. For most people, deciding the relationship is over does not mean you can immediately leave the house. Housing, finances, kids, legal strategy, logistics, or a spouse who refuses to go can all make physical separation impossible, at least for a while. This is the practical reality for so many people. And when you're in it, you need more than emotional endurance. You need structure. You need boundaries. You need a way to move through the day without letting the entire situation swallow you whole. In this episode, I'll walk you through how to survive this period with more clarity and intention. We'll talk about communication, emotional containment, household logistics, safety considerations, and how to begin treating this time as an actual transition — with movement, strategy, and support. And if you are leaving an unsafe marriage, I'll also talk through some important safety planning considerations, because living together while separating can require a very different level of strategy. What you'll hear about in this episode: Where people often get stuck when they keep acting like nothing has changed, even though everything has Why living together while separated is not appropriate in every situation, and what to consider if safety is a concern How to help your children begin adjusting to the new rhythm of divorced co-parenting before anyone moves out How to divide roles and responsibilities so the invisible infrastructure of the marriage becomes visible How to use this time strategically, including meeting with your attorney, documenting, understanding your finances, and opening your own accounts Why you need to talk to your kids about what's happening, and what you can actually say Resources & Links: Registration is now open for the Unbreakable Retreat!Kate Anthony's Complete Parenting Plan Focused Strategy Sessions with Kate The Divorce Survival Guide Resource BundlePhoenix Rising: A Divorce Empowerment CollectiveKate on InstagramKate on FacebookKate's Substack Newsletter: Divorce Coaching Dispatch The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast Episodes are also available YouTube!

Hi EveryoneI hope you can get just as excited about this research as I am. It has been around a while but I am just putting the peices together. References are below.I want you to EXPERIENCE THIS for yourself. Here are three ways NOW!Shiloh SophiaBook a call to explore our 9 month training called Stardust Initation starting in JuneJoin me for my NEW class, called Threshold - we are gonna paint aiwth power!Come along with me and my BFF Amy Ahlers to explore navigating this wild wild worldThe Neuroscience of Self-Expression: Why the Brush Knows Before We DoI want to speak to you about something I am so passionate about — the neuroscience of self-expression. It comes from my root system, because I come from the Stardust Lineage, and we are creative, spiritual, magical women who pass tools of Intentional Creativity from hand to hand and heart to heart. This isn't a woo-woo idea, and neither is it entirely scientific. It's a hybrid. Sometimes the brush knows before we know what's actually going to happen.I want to tell you about a researcher at Drexel University who has spent a decade strapping near-infrared sensors onto people's foreheads and watching what happens when the human brain is firing and wiring the moment the paintbrush touches the paper or the canvas. Do you know how long I've wanted to do this? Her name is Girija Kaimal — Wow. I would love to have a cup of tea with her. Of course, she doesn't know me. She probably will at some point, because I'm going to reach out. And she's probably never heard the words medicine painting — one of the terms we use for our work, because it's an approach to painting that's healing. Her data has been confirming what the women in our lineage have known since the 1930s. Self-expression is healing. Painting for us is a spiritual practice. It is not just a hobby. It is literally a neurological event. And guess what? When you paint with intention, the event begins before the brush ever touches the canvas. If you've worked with me, you know I talk about this all the time as energy equals matter at the speed of light — your energy as thought, expressed through your physical body, the equal sign, manifests matter at the speed of light on the canvas. Are you kidding me? Yes. The neurological awakening of what's going to happen happens before the brush touches the material.You may also be aware of another piece of research that adds to our point, by Audrey van der Meer, a Norwegian neuroscientist who has proved that writing by hand wakes up the brain in ways that typing cannot. Imagine how many kids these days are no longer learning to handwrite?! Her work is finding something so incredible about what happens when people are actually handwriting — she's measuring how the brain encodes the writing of letters into memory, and the brain is lighting up. When Kaimal's team did their research, they put 26 people in headbands — the kind that read blood flow inside the prefrontal cortex literally in real time. (Gosh, I wish it were here.) They were given three minutes to color in a mandala, to doodle around a circle, and to free-draw whatever they wanted. The results were published back in 2017 in Art Therapy. Guess what? All three activities lit up the medial prefrontal cortex. Wow. Wow. That region is part of the brain's reward pathway. Are you picking up what I'm putting down? That's the same circuit that fires when someone you love walks into the room. This is when you get to have tea with your best friend and you're jumping up and down. This is when your lover winks at you and you know what's coming next. This is when those of us in Intentional Creativity know that I'm going to do a power-packed livestream that's going to knock our red striped socks off. We feel love.The people she studied were not artists — most of them. And their brain did not care, in a literal way. Their brain didn't care if they were an artist. Their brain rewarded them anyway, for the simple act of creating color across a page with their hands. What's interesting too is that working inside of shapes — as in coloring — really does something powerful to the brain and to memory. It's just so exciting.In a separate study, the same researchers took 39 adults, gave them 45 minutes with markers, clay, and collage materials — nothing structured — and measured the cortisol in their saliva before and after. I kid you not. Cortisol in the saliva. Cortisol is the hormone your body produces under stress, the one that keeps so many of us awake at three in the morning, especially those of us going through midlife. Seventy-five percent of the participants showed lower cortisol after making art. No skill required. No talent required. No making it pretty. No perfectionism required. It is not an act of performance. It is an act of self-expression. The brain is responding to the act itself. It's in a way metacognition — becoming conscious of becoming conscious, while being intentional about what you're creating.There's something else I want to add, because when you're coloring and your brain doesn't have to make decisions, you can actually break a psychotic loop. This comes from nurses at Stanford who use my coloring books, Color of Woman. If they could get patients to color, they could break a psychotic loop. Wow. Why are we not talking about this more? Whether you're in a psychotic loop or not, wouldn't it be helpful to know that you could sit down and color and you would start to go into a different brain state? This is so important. (And it doesn't work if there's a blank page — for that psychotic-loop piece.)Now, our part in this. For close to 30 years I have been working with creating with intention, and since 2008 I've been training others to work with Intentional Creativity. I have not been teaching people to become brilliant artists — though some of them are. I have not been teaching people to make perfect paintings, though some of them do. I have not been teaching perfection technique to make a painting that would hang on the wall of a gallery. No. We've been into self-expression — to see what happens inside when you express yourself.Painting like this is a way of * Exploring our inner world. * A way of coming face to face with the often hidden identity within ourselves. * A way of activating the inner healer and the energies that go with that. * A way of catalyzing the brainwaves to move from beta to alpha to theta, so we can cross over into that state of the imagination and reach the subconscious domains. * A way of allowing the canvas itself to be a portal — to hold what the body carries* To express into form what was once inside and didn't have anywhere to go. * A composting of energy, now expressed onto the canvas. We call it medicine painting. Tens of thousands of people in our community have painted with it, and before I started doing it, we had two generations of artists who did it before me.Here's what the neuroscientists have not measured — but I would bet my brushes and my striped socks they would receive incredible results. The study in Kaimal's lab gave people markers and said, Go. There wasn't an intention set. Of course, the intention was that they were being measured. BUT. There wasn't an invocation. There wasn't a prayer. There wasn't a lighting of a candle. There wasn't a moment of asking what the piece of paper or the canvas wants to express to us. There wasn't a moment of what message are you receiving. And the cortisol still dropped. BOOOM DIGGITY. The reward pathway still lit up. The body still received a measurable gift — and the “able to experience it” part is super important to me. Because when we do this work and invite people to experience and acknowledge that it's happened, it creates more reward and more bliss and more affirmation and more faith that we could do it again and again. Which is why the science matters to me — because I want us to be able to do it again and again, in risk groups, in affinity groups, in groups of children, with people who need it. We need to bring this work everywhere.Imagine what the data would look like if the people being measured were bringing an intention. An intention to heal an illness. An intention to repair a marriage. An intention to pray for the end of war. Do you know how much power comes into the field, into the body, when one of us places our hand on the canvas and the other hand on the heart and says, What wants to be revealed? When a woman holds the red thread with other women in her circle, when she blesses the water and the cup of rain with holy water sprinkled from the places that matter to her, that brush is then charged with all of that energy. When we set an intention to alchemize trauma and wounds from years ago, patterns stuck in the body — then, when the brush expresses lightning, because we are daughters of lightning, it gets moved.In Intentional Creativity we say that the intention sets the field. This comes from Einstein's theories “the field is the sole governing agency of the particle”. The energy around us is what's creating what goes on the canvas. The thought we have and the intention we set will impact what shows up on the canvas. Then we observe it with our eyes, and the material goes back through the brain and translates back through the hands again. The moment you choose what this experience is for, the body has already started doing the work of translating the thought through the body, and the brush is just the place where the choice makes the inner vision possible — and then visible.What the neuroscience is beginning to show is that this is not metaphoric. Self-expression is not just a great idea. The state of the nervous system, before this act of beauty, this act of devotion — I'm so humbled by this. You can tell I'm just all lit up. When we come to the canvas, our nervous system is firing and wiring in a particular way. When we bring intention to the canvas, the nervous system shifts and becomes more regulated. The heart and brain can come into coherence. A brain and a mind that has been communicated with — that this sacred act will enable you to receive different signals — will receive messages you can't even imagine. Intention is a neurological primer of possibility. All meditation teachers know this. Our grandmothers who blessed the bread while kneading it, know this. Our aunties who sew the quilts know this. Every woman in our community who has ever painted herself back into her own body and told her own story — we know this. We've crossed a threshold into another way of being, and there is no way to step back from it, because once you know, you know.More studies are coming, and they will demonstrate what we have already been practicing. They will catch up to what we've already been doing. Consider what this means for us — for women in midlife, who have been carrying grief and rage and trauma and versions of ourselves we've tried to leave behind in those old relationships. We've worked it. We've gone to therapy. We've used our journals. And yet something still isn't moving. Painting with intention opens the door to a healing that most of us could never imagine was possible with something so simple — something that does not require talent. The data from these researchers shows us that the brain rewards the act of self-expression, having nothing to do with skill.You do not need to know what's going to happen. You do not need to control the outcomes. In fact, if you try to do that, your brainwaves will change and perhaps constrict. Intention does not require a known outcome. It requires inquiry and a willingness to show up and to not be in control. You don't even need to believe it's going to happen for it to work. You just need to show up. Your cortisol is going to drop anyway. Somewhere in the medial prefrontal cortex, lights begin to fire and wire. The reward begins to spark. Your nervous system registers that something on your behalf has begun. And then there's the craving — the craving to do it again.The handwriting research showed us that we lose something when we are just typing. The painting research shows us that when we bring ourselves to the canvas, we actually create wellbeing and bliss. But I want you to hear that you do not have to be talented. You do not have to know what you're called to. If you will pick up a brush with us and cross a threshold and set an intention — if you will ask the questions you've been afraid to ask in the good company of other powerful women — then we can cross the threshold together. The canvas reveals an answer. Our paintbrush is less like a brush adding color, and more like an archeologist revealing something that's already inside. Our vision is that you already have everything you need inside of you, and what we're doing is creating a condition in the field that allows it to be expressed.And so, with my heartfelt invitation and my emphatic hand motions — which you cannot see — I invite you to join me for Threshold, a brand-new class that is going to rock our world, because that's what I'm intending is going to happen, and it happens every time as long as people show up. Plus, there's a money-back guarantee. Or if you're ready to dive into the big mama codex of our work, it's called Stardust Initiation. You can find everything at musea.orgThis is Curate Shiloh Sophia, and I'm looking forward to gathering with you and transforming our brains and hearts and hands as we fire and wire together. As we say in the Stardust lineage: with our feet on the good red earth and our hands in the stars, our hearts on our sleeve and our hands in the medium, we create — and we become the oracle that we are seeking. It happens in real time. It happens right now. And it happens every time1. Van der Weel, F. R., & Van der Meer, A. L. H. (2024).

Building a meaningful practice often starts with a personal story, and grows through courage, creativity, and a commitment to helping others.  In this episode, I talk with Paula Gonzalez. We discuss her journey into mental health, which was shaped by both her background and lived experience, and how it led her from community work to launching and scaling her own private practice.  From navigating the early days of going solo during COVID to building a supportive group practice, Paula offers an honest look at growth, purpose, and the systems that make it all sustainable. Join us for a great conversation! MEET PAULA Paula Gonzalez is a Toronto-based Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, and the founder of Infinite Horizons Psychotherapy, located in North York. After 15 years working in community mental health and private practice, Paula made the decision to follow her passion and expand her solo practice into a group practice. Now, she works with a team of therapists who align with her mission to transform the way people experience therapy. Learn more about Paula on her practice website, Psychology Today, Facebook, and Instagram profiles.  In this episode:  Why Paula started working in mental health  Starting a private practice  Scaling from solo to group private practice  Using Jane App in private practice  Paula's advice to listeners  Why Paula started working in mental health  Over the last 15 years, Paula has dedicated her career to the mental health field.  'Even back in high school years, you know, when we had to volunteer, it's always been in mental health. Even in university and placements, and my Master's, and now being a therapist, so it's been a long time in this field!' - Paula Gonzalez When explaining how Paula came into the world of therapy, and what encouraged her to pursue becoming a therapist and working in mental health, Paula recalls her family lineage and that she came from a long line of women who worked in various helping professions.  'My mom being a social worker, my grandmother was a teacher, you know, my aunt is a doctor, so it's always been a part of my life to be in the helping profession. For me, having gone through my own experiences, like immigrating to Canada at a young age … That experience was very difficult for me … That made it clear … that I really wanted to become the kind of person I wish I had had at that time to get me through that.' - Paula Gonzalez Starting a private practice  Paula completed her Master's degree in 2016, and then she started working in community mental health, where she stayed for four years.  While Paula loved the community aspect of working with people in her city, it was difficult to find a full-time job at the time, especially since virtual sessions were not yet popular or common.  But when COVID hit in 2020, Paula started thinking about opening up her own solo virtual private practice.  'I did start in community mental health, and then I worked at a group practice. As a new grad, very new territory for me. Eventually, I decided, "I miss community mental health!" So I decided to go back. But then COVID hit. What led me to open up my own … during COVID … I felt so called to doing my part in working with folks directly.' - Paula Gonzalez  And so, Paula launched her online private practice! She would see clients in the evenings or even on weekends while she continued working in community mental health. Scaling from solo to group private practice  'Every day I wake up, and I'm like, "How, I can't believe I get to do this!" I'm still figuring it out as I go, but I love it.' - Paula Gonzalez  Creating the office spaces, editing the website, and social media content: all of these aspects are ways in which Paula gets to practice and unleash her creative freedom, and they are some of the things she loves the most about running a group practice.  More than that, Paula wanted to share the work and expand the impact by creating a team, which is what motivated her to take her practice from solo to group.  'I knew that I wanted to create a team … I loved my role as a clinical supervisor, but there's something about having a team of new grads, I love working with them, whether it is in a supervisory capacity or as colleagues, and knowing that we're all trying to figure this out … I find it so important to have a team as a part of our support system, and that aligns with what I'm hoping to put out there in the world.' - Paula Gonzalez  Using Jane App in private practice From her solo practice to her current group practice, Paula has consistently used Jane App for her business admin. '[Jane App] is so user-friendly. It's got everything that I need, I can pull the reports that I need to track metrics and see what's working, what's not … I've also gotten very good feedback from clients that use it too … Very user-friendly for both therapists and clients.' - Paula Gonzalez Jane App was designed to serve therapists and clients equally, while in different ways, and allows them both to navigate an easy interface that lets them communicate with each other smoothly.

Fred Rogers (aka "Mr. Rogers") looked at television and didn't see it as a danger for kids — he saw it as a door. Sara DeWitt has spent her career walking through it. As Senior VP and General Manager of PBS Kids, she has devoted decades to asking what children's media can be when the people making it are optimizing for something other than revenue. In the seventh episode of our Wired to Create series, Sara makes the case that the right story at the right moment can do things nothing else can — and that the most powerful screen in a child's life might be the one a caring adult is watching alongside them.

In this talk, recorded at Insight Community of the Desert, Mary discusses the Second Precept. It's often just referred to as not stealing, but this precept is about recognizing all the different places that craving and greed show up and how to let go of that. Additionally, the cultivation of generosity is an important step in freedom from craving and a way to live in harmony with others and in contentment with ourselves.Recorded May 17, 2026 at ICD in Palm SpringsSend me a text with any questions or comments!

Waking up with intention means beginning each day with purpose and clarity rather than moving reactively into whatever comes. This guide explores creating a morning routine that sets the tone for your day, clarifying your priorities before the world demands your attention, and starting from a place of purpose. The quiet moment in the morning is your opportunity to choose who you want to be and what matters most before the noise begins.

Critical thinking, happiness, career goals, and...how we understand moving about our cities.  What assumptions do we hold onto about our purpose?  In this episode of Good Is In The Details, Gwendolyn Dolske and Rudy Salo sit down with Paul Comfort — Senior Vice President at Modaxo Americas, former CEO of the Maryland Transit Administration and Transloc, host of the award-winning Transit Unplugged podcast, and author of the forthcoming book Find Your X Factor — for a conversation that moves seamlessly from Socratic self-knowledge to the engineering of communities, and argues that both are expressions of the same fundamental question: what does it mean to live well, together? The episode begins where Paul's book begins, with the inward turn. Find Your X Factor is a guide to identifying your authentic skill set, your genuine talents, and the voice inside you that knows what kind of work would allow you to fully express who you are rather than chasing the career someone else told you to want. Gwendolyn hears in this an unmistakably Socratic echo: the ancient Greek philosopher who insisted that the examined life, the life turned inward toward honest self-knowledge, was the only foundation for genuine happiness. Paul Comfort, it turns out, has been teaching Socrates to transportation executives for years without using the word. And then the conversation does something unexpected. Because Paul's own story, the story of how he discovered his X Factor, leads directly to public transportation. To the buses, trains, metros, and ferries that move millions of people every day in ways that most of us take entirely for granted, or dismiss entirely, or never use at all. And once you understand public transit through a philosophical lens, you cannot see it the same way again. What we explore in this episode: What the X Factor actually is, and how the process of identifying your authentic skill set and inner voice connects directly to Aristotle's concept of eudaimonia and the Socratic imperative to know yourself before you can know anything else worth knowing Why infrastructure is not a static reality but a designed choice and what it means philosophically and politically that we can choose differently How public transportation serves as a moving connection weaving people, places, and possibilities together, and why that vision of transit as civic infrastructure rather than welfare service changes the entire conversation about investment and access  The philosophy of access and independence: what it means for someone who cannot afford a car, or is too young, too old, or physically unable to drive, to have genuine mobility, and how the presence or absence of good transit determines whether those people can fully participate in the life of their community Why better transit infrastructure produces measurable improvements in public health, from reduced traffic stress and car maintenance burden to the physical benefits of walking to a stop, to the cognitive benefits of time spent reading or thinking rather than driving The argument that infrastructure investment is a moral argument, not just an economic one, and what philosophy says about a society's obligation to design its shared spaces for everyone, not just those with the most resources Why public transit is not only for people who struggle, and how we lost the sense of wonder that children still feel when they board a train or a bus or a plane for the first time, and what it would mean to get it back The engineering of awe: what it means to look at a subway system, a suspension bridge, or an airport terminal and feel genuine amazement at what human cooperation and ingenuity can accomplish, and why recovering that sense of wonder is itself a philosophical act What Paul Comfort's career reveals about the relationship between personal purpose and public good, and how finding your X Factor might just lead you to work that makes the world more just, more connected, and more navigable for everyone in it This is the episode for anyone who has ever felt stuck between who they are and what they're supposed to be, and anyone who has ever looked at a city and wondered whether it was built for people like them. The answer to both questions, it turns out, begins in the same place. Guest: Paul Comfort — Senior Vice President, Modaxo Americas. Former CEO, Maryland Transit Administration and Transloc. Host, Transit Unplugged podcast. Author of Find Your X Factor (forthcoming) and The Innovative Transit Leader: Drive Change and Organizational Excellence. A leading voice in the public transportation industry with deep executive and thought leadership credentials across transit systems in North America and globally.  Good Is In The Details is hosted by Gwendolyn Dolske, Ph.D. and Rudy Salo — a philosophy, books, and ideas podcast exploring the examined life in the spirit of Socrates.
