Intentionality Creates Deeper Connection in relationships, even when life feels busy, overwhelming, and out of control. Many of us want deeper relationships, but our calendars, commitments, and priorities quietly work against what matters most.In Part 3 of the series The Things Nobody Tells You About Relationships, we explore why deep connection doesn't happen accidentally—and why intentional rhythms are the key to building meaningful relationships with the people you love most. Jesus modeled a way of life that protected time, energy, and focus for what truly matters.You'll discover:Why intentionality creates deeper connection over timeHow busyness and “good opportunities” can crowd out what matters mostWhat intentional rhythms actually look like in real lifeWhy saying no is sometimes the most loving choicePractical steps to align your calendar with your valuesIf you've ever felt stretched thin, disconnected, or frustrated by how fast life moves, this message offers a better way forward. Deeper relationships don't come from doing more—they come from choosing wisely and living intentionally.

In this week's episode, we reflect on Olympic moments, flexibility in training, and navigating new seasons with intention. We start with thoughts on the Olympics—from the power of confidence and sportsmanship to the external validation trap and what high-level achievement really represents. Elena shares her “3 Gs” framework for flexibility (grounding, goals, gauge), how she's embracing cross-country skiing this winter, and why focusing on process over outcome is essential. We then dive into systems for modifying workouts, including practical red/yellow/green light frameworks to reduce decision fatigue and adapt to life stress. Katie expands on intentionality in training—especially postpartum—where the purpose of workouts has shifted toward mental health, recovery, and sustainability rather than performance. We close with honest reflections on early postpartum realities as an athlete, fueling demands, sleep deprivation, and building support systems to navigate this phase.

You're not a brain on legs. And if upgrading your mindset or sharpening your thinking hasn't delivered the breakthrough you expected, it may be time to pay attention to the one stream of data AI can't access: your body's real-time signals.In this episode, Michael and Megan sit down with science journalist Caroline Williams to unpack interoception—your internal sensory system. It's the mechanism that helps you interpret what's happening inside your body and quietly shapes your response. Together, they explore why modern life makes it so easy to override those signals and introduce simple shifts that make a big difference.If you've felt stuck in your head, worn out from pushing through, or unsure how to care for yourself in a high-demand season, this conversation offers a different path—habits that are practical, sustainable, and refreshingly free.Memorable Quotes“Anything you do with your body is gonna affect the signals that are going from within your body to your brain. And that changes how your brain predicts what you are capable of and what's gonna happen next.”“We can either be attending to the outside world or the internal world. You can't be doing it both at the same time. So if you are constantly out there, you can't be in here. And so you need to be able to have the ability to tune in, deal and then tune back out again.”“[Our lives today] don't really match up with what we were designed for. So we have to then seek out the movement that we don't get in our everyday lives.”“The relationship between moving and brain health isn't about how much time you spend exercising, it's about how much time you spend sedentary. So it's about breaking up the sedentary time.”“One of these things that seem to be gathering momentum a little bit is the idea of movement snacks. So throughout the day, it's like the equivalent of food snacks. You can quite easily snack all day long without really noticing, and the calories add up, right? It's the same with exercise, with movement.”“One of the easiest parts of lifestyle to protect your brain health and your capacity long-term is physical activity.”“We must remember that making time to properly give ourselves a break is helping us to function better afterwards.”“The way that embodied cognition works is that when you are moving forward through space, it gives the illusion of, of moving forward and making progress sort of mentally as well as physically.”“Most of what we need to look after ourselves, we already have if we just make time for it.”Key TakeawaysYour Inner Sense Offers Real Data. Interoception is how your brain interprets signals from inside your body to shape emotion, energy, and decision-making.Modern Life Trains Us to Override the Body. When you're always “out there” (screens, noise, urgency), you lose access to what's happening “in here.”Your Brain was Built to Move While Thinking. Cognitive strength isn't separate from the body—it depends on the body being engaged.Break Up Sedentary Time. Frequent movement throughout the day matters more than one intense workout. Try “movement snacks” instead of an all-or-nothing exercise plan.Go For a Walk. Walking boosts creativity, lowers confrontation in hard conversations, and increases bonding through synchronization.Rest Is a Skill, Not a Luxury. Waking rest and deep breathing can restore the nervous system when sleep alone isn't enough.Wearables? Maybe. Is your favorite wearable helping you tune into your inner sense, or outsourcing it? If the (sometimes contradictory) data increases anxiety or confusion, it may be time to return to lived experience as the primary guide.ResourcesInner Sense by Caroline WilliamsMove! by Caroline Williamswww.carolinewilliams.netWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/L7ksuXGCp3QThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

We all love the idea of “potential” until it quietly turns into pressure, guilt, and a weird fear of actually trying. Heather Moyse didn't start professional sport until 27 and still became a double Olympic gold medallist. Breaking out of her social safety and truly exploring her potential wasn't easy. We dig into behavioral inertia, self‑sabotage, and the invisible “settings” your environment installs in your brain. Think of this as a mindset update: less motivational quotes, more useful psychology. f you've ever felt stuck in the “nearly” version of your life—nearly starting, nearly committing, nearly backing yourself—this conversation gives you language, mental models, and a few friendly kicks to move. Spot the subtle ways your environment is capping your potential. Replace “be realistic” thinking with experiments that actually feel safe. Build a high‑potential identity without burning out or becoming a robot. Hit play and give your potential something better than another inspirational reel. SPONSORS

The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 388: Digital Deer Camp - Walter Lee - Welcome to the Fire In this episode of The Bowhunter Chronicles, Adam Miller and Walt Lee IV sit down to reflect on the past hunting season and explore what it truly means to be an intentional hunter. From battling cold weather in the whitetail woods to simplifying gear and expectations, the conversation digs into practical lessons learned through real time in the field. Adam and Walt discuss cold weather bowhunting strategies, mindset over gear, and how preparation, experience, and presence matter more than the latest equipment. They also examine how social media and modern marketing have shaped the hunting industry, often creating unrealistic expectations that clash with the realities of public land and everyday hunters. The episode goes deeper into the balance between control and luck in hunting, the importance of setting realistic goals, and why many hunters choose to pass deer others would gladly shoot. Beyond tags filled, the conversation highlights the adventure of hunting and fishing, personal growth through time outdoors, and the value of building a supportive hunting community. The discussion wraps with a look at Digital Deer Camp and its mission to create a positive, respectful space where hunters can learn, connect, and grow together—keeping the focus on enjoying the outdoors and making the most of local hunting opportunities.

In this episode of the Brave Co. podcast, I dive deep into the concept that no young man should stumble into manhood. As fathers, the best gift we can give our sons is a clear pathway to adulthood. This journey doesn't just happen—it's intentional. I discuss the significance of Brave Co.'s Rite of Passage, a 30-hour weekend designed to help fathers and sons encounter God together, push limits, and leave forever changed. This isn't a retreat or conference—it's a transformative experience.Join me and NFL Champion Steve Weatherford as we share our insights on fatherhood, leadership, and the power of vulnerability in raising strong, capable men. We discuss how true masculinity is about strength tested, faith forged, and fathers leading their sons by example.

Text us, We would love to her from YOU!What if laughter isn't a break from healing… but part of the healing itself?In this uplifting and surprisingly practical conversation, Dr. Sandra Marie welcomes intuitive reader and teacher Melissa Abell to explore how humor, play, and spiritual lightness help regulate the body, restore perspective, and reconnect us with a sense of safety.While so much growth work focuses on effort, processing, and fixing what's wrong, Melissa opens another doorway, one available in ordinary moments, shared smiles, absurd mishaps, and even deliberate practice.Together they bridge neuroscience, trauma recovery, intuitive guidance, and lived experience to ask:

The frame through which we view the Scriptures will effect how we read them. As Paul encourages the Corinthian church toward faithful generosity in 2 Corinthians 9:1-7, there are three helpful frames that help us see generosity the way God does. As we begin to see that grace-giving is ministry, is meant to be intentional, and is part of our personal worship, our hearts are also adventuring along with the generous heart of God Himself. He is a cheerful giver, and is very intentional in the way He lavishes blessing on us as His people!

Morning routines can become one more place we feel behind, especially when life shifts. In this episode, Michael and Megan talk with bestselling author Hal Elrod about The Miracle Morning After 50 (co-authored with aging expert Dwayne Clark). Along with the SAVERS basics (Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing) they explore the “after 50” focus on healthspan, purpose, flexibility, and overlooked free practices.Hal also shares the common derailers and how to rebuild momentum with small steps that stick. Whether you're in midlife or building sustainable habits now, this conversation will help you craft a morning ritual that fits real life and grows with you.Memorable Quotes“The thing to remember is that what we affirm repeatedly becomes our reality, right? And so it's [helpful to affirm] what you're committed to, why it's important, and what you're gonna do to get there.”“And if you think about it, we are an extension of the earth… And so, for me, I try to live my life as closely in alignment with nature as I possibly can.”“My belief on purpose is that it's something we get to make up as we go along. We can have more than one purpose because I think people put a lot of pressure on purpose… You get to make it up. That's the best part about purpose. And you can try it on for a week, and you're like, ‘You know what? I wanna try a different purpose,' or ‘I wanna have two or three.' It's fluid, it's fun, it's joyful.”“If somebody took a peek at your schedule, does it really reflect what you say is most important in your life—whether that's health or family, or happiness, or whatever it is?”“You live, on average, about five years after you retire from purpose. But if you can keep the purpose going, it doesn't matter if you're retired or not retired, or working for a nonprofit or working for a for-profit. It doesn't matter as long as you're making a contribution.”“As we get older, the needs of our bodies, our minds, our hearts—those things shift. And if we're trying to just sort of do the same old thing that we've done that maybe worked for us 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago, it doesn't always produce the same results.”Key TakeawaysMake Your Morning Ritual Doable. The goal isn't a perfect routine, but a sustainable one that adapts as life changes.Healthspan Matters. Living longer isn't the point if your quality of life declines. Daily practices can support both longevity and vitality.Start Small and Let It Build. Hal's challenge: wake up 10 minutes earlier and pick one practice to focus on. Then, expand gradually.Consistency Beats Intensity. Miss a day? Don't spiral. Hal's advice: “Never let one missed day turn into two.”Don't Over-Engineer It. Build a routine that works when the stars don't align, especially when travel, stress, or caregiving hits.Nature is a Free Advantage. Morning light, time outside, and grounding practices can offer real benefits without expensive biohacks.Purpose Protects Your Life. Especially after retirement or major transitions, meaning and contribution are essential for thriving.ResourcesThe Miracle Morning After 50 (Hal Elrod & Dwayne Clark)The Miracle Morning (Hal Elrod)miraclemorning.comhalelrod.comWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/o-T03QPI6CwThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Can we “integrate” inclusion work without making it invisible?As we mark the 100th anniversary of Black History Month this February, organizations face a pivotal moment in the evolution of inclusion work. While many companies are moving toward "integrating" inclusion principles into their broader processes and talent lifecycles, there is a risk that these efforts will fade into the background without deliberate, sustained focus.Dean Delpeache introduces the "3 I's" framework (Intentionality, Integration, and Invisibility) to highlight key tensions and to help leaders assess their strategy. By coupling integration with explicit accountability and modeled inclusive behaviours, organizations can ensure that their commitment to equity remains visible and effective, even as the public conversation quiets.On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with guest Dean Delpeache, a talent management expert and the Director of Strasity. They discuss the historical context of the Black History Month centennial, the state of inclusion work in 2026, and offer practical strategies for leaders to keep anti-racism work front and center.Keep Up with Dean:https://www.linkedin.com/in/deandelpeache/https://strasity.com/Try Learning Snippets:https://dialectic.solutions/signupContact Us to Be a Guest on Just One Q:https://dialectic.solutions/podcast-guest

The Summons: Grappling With God's Kingdom and KingMark 1:35-45Nate LeeMost of us have a junk drawer where all kinds of household items get tossed: pens, chargers, receipts and keys, all piled together until it's hard to tell what's important. Our lives can often feel the same way. Tasks stack up, responsibilities blur, and the things that matter most get buried under everything else. Thankfully, we're not left to sort through the mess on our own. We have a God who knows exactly what belongs where, a master organizer who can reorder our priorities the moment our hearts are open to His work.Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in the Gospel of Mark and explore what it means to let the King set our priorities.

On a cold January day in South Carolina, Jamie and Matt Staub unpack why focus is one of the most underrated leadership skills—especially in healthcare, where everything can feel urgent. They break down how leaders decide what deserves attention, how to “push pause” on non-emergencies, and why coaching people through problems is often more effective than absorbing them. The conversation also explores decision fatigue, the difference between being busy and being focused, the role of habits (including insights from Atomic Habits), and how boundaries protect the work that actually moves the mission forward. Along the way, they normalize attention struggles, reframe “failure” as part of growth, and offer practical ways to stay aligned to goals without losing empathy or accessibility.

In today's episode, Kamini joins me for a conversation about manifestation, synchronicity, and the subtle ways we communicate with the world around us, often without realising we're doing it.This is one of those conversations that starts with a simple question and slowly opens out into something much bigger. We talk about intention, energetic connection, music as communication, destiny versus free will, and how magick often works through tiny moments of noticing.It's a conversation for anyone who has ever thought, that felt like more than coincidence. In this episode we explore:Thinking of someone and then having them appearKamini shares personal experiences of thinking about someone intensely, only for them to show up soon after through a message, an image, or an invitation to meet. We unpack whether this is coincidence, selective attention, or something more relational and energetic.I share how I understand this through the idea of energetic “data cables”, the invisible threads we form with people through connection, emotion, memory, and attention.The web of connection we're always part ofWe explore the idea that we are constantly in communication with the world around us, not just through words, but through energy, presence, emotion, and focus. From walking into a room and sensing tension, to feeling calm around certain people, these are skills we already have, even if we've never named them as magick.Intentionality as the difference between background noise and signalA fleeting thought may dissolve quickly, but focused intention carries weight. We talk about how directed attention changes the quality of energy we send out, and why strong emotions like love, anger, longing, or grief feel so potent and hard to ignore.This is where magick, manifestation, and everyday psychology can overlap.Music as divination and communicationOne of my favourite threads in this episode is our exploration of music as a language the universe uses to speak to us. Kamini shares how certain songs appear at powerful moments, especially during travel or emotional transitions.I talk about using music as a divination tool, including the simple practice of asking for a message through the third song you hear in a day, and noticing what lands, whether that's lyrics, memories, mood, or resonance.Why different things speak to different peopleWe explore how the universe doesn't communicate in one fixed way. For some it's music, for others numbers, animals, dreams, art, cards, or land. There's no hierarchy here. What matters is relationship, not method.Trying to force a form of magick that doesn't suit you often disconnects you from the one that does.Destiny, free will, and the tension between choice and patternKamini asks a big question: are our lives shaped by destiny, or are we co-creating everything as we go?I share my honest answer, which is that I don't know, and that I live somewhere between the two. We talk about astrology, conditioning, choice, karma, and the feeling that some lessons insist on being lived, even when we can see the warning signs in advance.Rather than certainty, we arrive at curiosity, compassion, and the idea that responding consciously may matter more than knowing why something happened.Micro-steps, trust, and stepping onto paths you can't yet seeWe talk about how magick often asks for small steps rather than grand leaps. When we act, we receive feedback. When we don't, we stay stuck in loops of analysis and indecision.I share why I believe clarity often follows action, not the other way around, and how trusting one small nudge can shift everything over time.This is a conversation that doesn't try to explain the mystery away, but instead invites you to sit with it, listen more closely, and notice how the world already speaks to you.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --All of the Magick:The A Pinch of Magick App:IPhone - download on the App StoreAndroid - download pn the Google PlayOur (free) magickal Community: Facebook GroupMagickal JournalsExplore on Amazon Rebecca's Author PageWebsiteRebeccaAnuwen.comMagickalHabits.comInstagramFor Magick: Click hereFor a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click hereFor CharmCasting: Click hereFor Merlin, my Dog: Click here

What if students' “attention problems” were really a mismatch between how the brain works and how we structure learning?In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper talks with first grade teacher, cognitive science scholar, and author Sarah Oberle about what executive functions actually are, core and higher order cognitive processes like working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility, and why they are so often misunderstood as behaviors in schools.​Sarah describes how explosive development in these skills during the K–3 years should shape our pedagogy, from how we orient attention and chunk directions to how we design routines, structure independent work, and set up the physical and acoustic environment so students can think instead of just “look busy”. Drawing from her upcoming book with Mitch Weathers, she shares concrete classroom moves—mini check ins, EF informed routines, visual and sound management, and tools like dividers and voice recorders—that any teacher can use to promote self regulation and learning without adding another program to their plate.About Sarah Oberle Sarah Oberle is an educator, writer, and professional learning designer with 18 years of experience as a primary classroom teacher. Her work centers on helping educators understand how learning happens and how that understanding shapes daily instructional decisions. Beyond the classroom, Sarah designs and facilitates evidence-informed professional learning for teachers and school leaders, both in person and virtually. She works with national and international organizations to ensure professional learning is research-informed, practical, and responsive to the realities of teaching. Her work focuses on attention, memory, and executive functions, with an emphasis on pedagogy rather than programs.

Why do we procrastinate, overspend, or neglect habits we know matter? In this episode, UCLA professor Hal Hershfield reveals how our connection (or lack of connection) to our future selves shapes everything from health and finances to ethics and life satisfaction. Drawing on decades of research, Hal introduces practical tools—including reverse time travel, temptation bundling, and vivid imagination exercises—that help close the gap between intention and action. This conversation is equal parts science, story, and strategy for anyone who wants to live with more agency and hope.Memorable Quotes“It involves thinking about trade-offs between now and later, and thinking about sort of balancing out our happiness and our satisfaction over time between the version of us who exists right now and the version of us who exist in the future.”“People change, and we change much more than we expect to. And the reason I think that that's not something to fear is because it means that we have some control over our lives. It means that we can become different versions of us, we can change aspects of ourselves.”“It may be scary at first to recognize that my life could look different in 10 years than I expect it to be. But the reality that we know from decades of research is that as a human being, we're quite good with grappling with change. We're quite resilient. We have a healthy, what's called ‘psychological immune system,' which basically means we can sort of fend off the changes that we don't want and sort of learn to live with the way that life has become.”“What the research has found is that if we make the process of achieving a goal more fun, more enjoyable, more pleasurable, we're just—and this shouldn't surprise anybody—we're a lot more likely to stick it out.”“If we want to spur action, if we wanna take some agency, we not only need to think about the way that we want things to look differently, but we also need to figure out what's the contrast between now and later? And what are the—and this is really important—what are the overcomeable obstacles?”“There's lots of little things where we can cut corners and, you know, we get some gain in the present, but we might get punished in the future. And what we've found in several papers is that the people who feel connected to their future selves are actually more likely to, to take this sort of more difficult but ethical path.”“That's the irony of procrastination. It hurts while we're procrastinating. It hurts after we procrastinated too…[We can instead think] ‘I don't wanna do it now. There's a good chance I'm not gonna wanna do it in the future, so I might as well just do it now.' Just do it and eliminate all that feeling of negativity along the way.”“We can take anything that feels like it's painful, unpleasant, et cetera, and pair it with something that's a temptation.”Key TakeawaysYou Have Agency. Life will always include uncertainty and unpredictable events, but your responses and daily choices still matter.The Present Is Loud. The Future Is Abstract. Making the future more concrete helps counteract our tendency to overvalue short-term comfort.Three Common Mistakes Sabotage Progress. Getting stuck in the present, under-planning, or projecting today's feelings too far forward can derail growth.Reverse Time Travel Makes Goals Feel Closer. Starting in the future and working backward reveals obstacles—and opportunities—you'd otherwise miss.Temptation Bundling Reduces Friction. Pair necessary habits with enjoyable experiences to increase follow-through without relying on grit alone.Small Choices Compound Into Identity.

Some of the most misunderstood and emotionally charged topics for men are: attraction, compatibility, and what actually creates lasting connection with a woman. My guest, Laurin Ponce, helps us break down the difference between compatibility, connection, and chemistry - and why confusing those three is where most relationships go off the rails. We talk about what women truly find attractive in a grounded man, what it really means when a woman asks for space, why it feels like there are more rules for men, and how respect is built long before it's ever given. From attachment styles and masculine frame to why women's touch is medicine and how peace and respect create a relationship where both people feel safe and free, this conversation cracks open the unspoken dynamics most men are trying to navigate alone. We also explore the practical side: non-negotiables, testing for compatibility, shared values, money, day-to-day living, and why partners are often mirrors and triggers for our own unresolved work. Laurin and I get into anxious versus avoidant dynamics, masculinity and femininity in modern relationships, emotional expression in men, vulnerability, physical attraction, and how connection is built - and rebuilt - over time SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Understanding Men and Women 01:07 - Is There a Line in "Figuring Each Other Out"? 03:22 - Masculine and Feminine Polarity 05:08 - The Bowl and the Water Analogy 06:46 - Why Respect Starts With Self-Respect 08:21 - Non-Negotiables in Relationships 10:05 - Compatibility vs. Chemistry 13:18 - Core Values and Relationship Dealbreakers 14:58 - You Can't Out-Love Incompatibility 17:16 - Chemistry vs. Trauma Bonds 18:46 - What Real Chemistry Feels Like 19:29 - Peace and Respect in Relationships 22:47 - Creating Emotional Safety 26:52 - Masculine and Feminine Imbalance Today 30:30 - Polarity Always Finds Its Way 33:41 - Letting Go of Armor and Control 35:16 - Becoming the Partner You Want to Attract 39:13 - Consistency and Trust 40:10 - Physical Attraction and Discipline 43:02 - Connection Is Built Over Time 46:37 - Scarcity Mindset in Dating 48:02 - Where Men Should Start in Long-Term Relationships 50:32 - Rekindling Attraction and Intentionality 57:12 - "Cracking the Code" of Your Partner 01:00:29 - Never Get Comfortable in Love 01:05:05 - Serving Each Other Without Shame 01:06:23 - Where to Find Laurin's Work Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

Why does it feel like everything is falling apart, even as our lives get materially easier in so many ways? Michael Hyatt talks with author and cultural thinker Virginia Postrel about why progress becomes invisible, how nostalgia for the “good old days” distorts reality, and why modern change moves unevenly.They explore why humans crave beauty and meaning (not just function) and how AI is reshaping the future of work. A clear theme emerges throughout the wide-ranging conversation: change is inevitable, and how we respond matters. Resilience, margin, and an entrepreneurial mindset make all the difference.If you've felt powerless against “big systems,” this episode is a reminder that innovation is often personal, practical, and close to home: start where you are, solve what you can, and expect the unexpected.Memorable Quotes“The issues of character never go away. They are eternal human questions, and we forget because we have sort of nostalgic views of the past.”“Even the smartest AI can't figure out what people want—what people are dissatisfied with. And a lot of innovation comes from that. We tend to focus on big technologies. And even big technologies come from a lot of incremental improvements… A lot of improvements come from people saying, ‘I'm dissatisfied with this,' or ‘Here's something I figured out.'”“Human beings don't just value function. They value pleasure, and they value meaning, and pleasure and meaning are things that are very much conveyed through the look and feel of objects or places.”“Agency is problem-solving. It's you solving problems in your life, or whatever that might be—and it's sort of reversed, too, which is that if you assume that it's someone else's job to solve your problem, you sort of give up your sense of agency.” “A lot of leadership is figuring out what gifts individuals have and getting them moving in the right direction… A big part of leadership as problem-solving is people problem-solving—getting people in the right roles and thinking about how those roles mesh.”“Expect that you're going to be in a world that changes, because that's the world we live in. It's the world we've been living in for hundreds of years. The other thing is: understand this didn't start with you. Other people have gone through amazing and scary and terrifying changes, and our civilization has lived to tell the tale.”Key TakeawaysProgress Becomes Invisible Quickly. We normalize improvements fast—and forget what life used to require in drudgery, time, and basic comforts.Change Is Uneven: Bits vs. Atoms. Software accelerates rapidly, while physical-world progress (like housing) can be slowed by policy, cost, and complexity.Dynamism vs. Stasis Shapes How We Face the Future. Some people see change as positive-sum opportunity; others experience it as zero-sum threat.Agency Grows Through Problem-Solving. When we assume “someone else” must fix things, we trade away our sense of control and possibility.Resilience Requires Margin. Financial cushion, emotional bandwidth, and community support help you absorb shocks and adapt.Entrepreneurship Is Bigger Than Business. You can be “entrepreneurial” by starting groups, building community, or solving everyday problems—not just launching companies.Resourcesvpostrel.com (Website)vpostrel.substack.com (Substack Newsletter)The Future and Its Enemies (Book)The Substance of Style (Book)The Power of Glamor (Book)The Fabric of Civilization (Book)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/yCMHIdYYS-AThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound
