In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into a myriad of topics ranging from the complexities of curatorial practice in art to the secular study of religion. Nico Sarian guides us through an intellectual journey that stretches from the art scene in Moscow to the academic corridors of the University of Toronto, touching on astrology, Zen Buddhism, and the nature of suffering along the way. Prepare for a multi-layered discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and explores the intersections of art, religion, and culture. Join the awesome whatsapp community that Nico is helping to build Early Life and Academic Background Nico Sarian began his career journey after completing high school and entering the world of fashion. Intrigued by the art world, he transitioned into academia due to a spiritual crisis. Nico studied art history and philosophy at King's College in London, and this led to work as an art curator in Moscow. Defining a Curator According to Nico, the role of a curator involves managing a triangle between works of art, the public, and the space or architecture. Failing to manage all three elements would reduce a curator to merely a critic. The role of a curator is likened to that of a priest in that they serve as a mediator between these elements. Evolution into Religious Studies Nico later began teaching at a British art college in Moscow, which fueled his interest in theory, aesthetics, and teaching. After discovering the field of religious studies, he started studying it in a secular context at the University of Toronto. Influence of Russian Culture Nico spent considerable time in Russia and was in a relationship with a Russian woman for four to five years. He studied the Russian language to immerse himself fully in the culture, stating that Russia felt like another planet to him. Esoteric Studies Nico discussed various aspects of astrology, Zen Buddhism, and Shintoism. He mentioned Richard Tarnas as a researcher who places astrology in a historical context and contrasts Vedic and Western astrology. The demotion of Pluto to an asteroid sparked a debate about its relevance in modern astrology and contemporary life. The Philosophical Angle Nico is a critic of modernity and holds a deep academic viewpoint. His questioning of our modern belief systems was influenced by philosophers like Bruno Latour, who claimed, “We have never been modern.” Questioning Religion and Spirituality Nico wrestles with the concept of secularism in religious studies. His inability to give a straight answer to whether he believes in God stems from his view that the term 'secular' is an illusion. Life Philosophy Nico argues that suffering is not a problem; rather, it's the inability to deal with suffering that becomes the problem. He spent three years studying Sanskrit and used the term “Duhka” to discuss the concept of suffering. Future Directions Nico mentioned the idea of creating an infinite discussion board that incorporates various perspectives, aiming to foster and create symbolic capital. The episode delved into Nico's multifaceted life journey, from art and fashion to philosophy and religious studies. He provided a comprehensive view of how different disciplines intersect and inform each other, offering a critique of modernity along the way.

We're peeling back the layers of an oddity that's making waves - an AI-powered reinterpretation of the Bible with a vegan and animal rights slant. Brace yourselves as we examine the implications of this audacious move. What does this mean for future rewrites of sacred texts to suit the modern world's diverse ideologies? From a PETA-esque Bible to new versions potentially scrubbing out the concept of sin, we're delving into the troubling potential of twisting religious texts to fit convenient narratives. We also take a hard look at Isaiah 5.20, and how this vegan Bible stands in stark contradiction.We're also taking a journey back to the dawn of humanity, to the fall of Adam and Eve. How does their original sin resonate in our modern lives, particularly with the rise of technology and the ubiquity of pornography? We're sharing our thoughts on how the digital age amplifies temptation, and the struggle to resist and walk a righteous path.

Abbas Mohammed is a successful real estate investor who made a name for himself in the multifamily sector. His journey began at the age of eighteen when he entered the real estate industry as a residential agent. Though he initially struggled, Abbas soon found his footing and rapidly rose in the ranks. Within just four and a half years, he earned a spot as one of the top 15 agents in the country, working under REMAX and managing a team of 25 virtual assistants. With his residential business flourishing, Abbas faced a new challenge – how to effectively invest the surplus cash generated from his sales. Initially, he considered building a single-family portfolio. However, upon closer examination, he realized that he would have limited control over the value of these homes, which largely depended on external factors such as interest rates and affordability. Sensing potential pitfalls, Abbas decided to explore other investment options. After thoroughly researching various avenues, Abbas stumbled upon the world of multifamily real estate. Intrigued by the numerous advantages it offered, he quickly made the bold decision to skip single-family investments altogether and dive straight into multifamily. His first venture involved a 64-unit property, a leap of faith that would prove to be one of the best decisions he ever made. Since then, Abbas Mohammed has continued his successful journey in multifamily real estate, leveraging his expertise and experience to further expand his portfolio.

Most people stop right there because they think it's a personality trait (they either have it or they don't) or they think it's super hard because they're confusing discipline with willpower.

Lisa is joined by LeVar Carter who talks about Bully Girl Magazine. LeVar D. Carter, a native of Roosevelt, Long Island in New York, developed a deep-rooted love for pit bulls and bully breeds early in his life. Growing up in a small town, LeVar's fascination with these dogs grew as he raised a few pit bulls, forming strong bonds with each one. His life took an unexpected turn when he came across the American Bully breed online. Intrigued by the breed's muscular and attractive appearance, LeVar set out to learn more about these incredible dogs.After months of research, LeVar found a trusted breeder, Jonathan Santos of New England Gottiline, located in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. He purchased his first American Bully from Jonathan, who also introduced him to Gottiline Magazine, a publication dedicated to the new breed. As LeVar attended several bully breed dog shows, he not only participated but also won some competitions. LeVar even hosted two huge bully breed dog shows early on, which helped to strengthen his connection within the bully breed community.One fateful day, LeVar discovered that Gottiline Magazine had gone out of business. Seeing a gap in the market and sensing the potential for a dedicated publication, LeVar decided to launch his own magazine. And thus, Bully Girl Magazine, LLC, was born—a publication that would bring awareness to the American Bully breed and help to educate people on how these dogs were not bad like the stereotypes suggested.LeVar faced numerous challenges during the initial stages of starting the magazine. With no background in photography, magazine publishing, or clothing design, he had to learn these skills on the fly. Undeterred, he took various online courses to fill the knowledge gaps, learning about photography, graphic design, business, and marketing. LeVar also faced the challenge of protecting his brand from others who sought to steal the idea. Through determination and quick action, he successfully trademarked the Bully Girl brand and continued his vision.With the increased demand for Bully Girl Magazine and its merchandise, LeVar launched the Bully Girl Mobile App, allowing users to locate and connect with responsible breeders worldwide and access digital issues of the magazine. This innovative addition to the brand made it easier for bully breed enthusiasts to find reliable breeders and stay informed about important events and promotions.Today, Bully Girl Magazine stands as a testament to LeVar's passion for bully breeds and his determination to make a difference in the lives of these incredible dogs and their devoted owners. Through tireless effort and unwavering commitment, LeVar Carter has built a legacy that will continue to impact the bully breed community for years to come. The magazine's journey from humble beginnings to a respected, comprehensive publication highlights the power of dedication and belief in a cause. LeVar's story serves as an inspiration for others looking to follow their passion and create something meaningful.As Bully Girl Magazine continues to grow, LeVar has never lost sight of his original mission—to bring love and awareness to the bully breed. He tirelessly works to dispel the negative stereotypes surrounding these dogs, helping to change public perception and improve the lives of countless bully breeds and their owners.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5948889/advertisement

Are you prepared to explore the insane heresies and dive into the controversial theories of Teilhard de Chardin and his recent rehabilitation by Pope Francis? Embark on this enlightening journey with our guest, Michael Hichborn, as we explore the profound impact of de Chardin's theories on the evolution of the universe and evolution of God, his contentious beliefs around Original Sin, and his encounter with the "spirit of the world" in the Ordos desert in Mongolia. We don't shy away from the big questions - was this encounter with the spirit demonic?Intrigued by the mythology of Pachamama, and its association with human sacrifice? We dig into the ancient practices and beliefs surrounding this deity, and the current perspectives of various individuals, including Pope Francis. Hichborn offers insights into a prayer to Pachamama, penned by the Catholic Bishops Conference of Italy, and we delve into the complex history of a former Catholic tribal leader who reintroduced banned tribal practices. We also illuminate the ties between these practices and the concepts of liberation theology and communism. The dialogue takes an unexpected turn as we connect the dots between modernist belief in the 'evolution of doctrine' and the transgender movement. We bring light to the symbolism of Lucifer as the first 'trans being' and its association with Pachamama. Examining the role of women in religion, we dive into the implications of the male-only priesthood, the influence of women in the Anglican Church, and the newest pastoral letter of Bishop Strickland. This conversation promises to be thought-provoking and engaging – you won't want to miss it.********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community:  https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comStore:  https://avoiding-babylon.sellfy.store/RSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV:  https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1626455Odysee:  https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylonBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Your negative self-talk: It's sabotaging your marriage—and you may not know how deeply. Author Ted Lowe gets real about identifying and confronting the dark side within. "I cannot tell you the number of times, standing on the sideline with the Detroit Lions at a NFL game over 33 seasons, that we get in the fourth quarter, it's a close game, and I would have this thought: 'Our team does not believe when the game's on the line we have what it takes to win. That's the difference between winners and losers, is you don't believe it, and your self-prophecy comes true.' And we don't. Again, I'm not saying that's the only reason we lost so many games, but I remember in 1991 when we went almost—one game from the Super Bowl, you could feel the opposite. It was like, “We believe!” I really believe that teams that win believe it before they actually do it, and I think it applies to marriage.

191 Top 5 Productivity Tips You Should be Doing Right Now with Your Podcast

Just the Tip from Your Podcast Performance Coach

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 5, 2023 7:04


Suddenly, your podcast has turned into a time-sucking monster. Let's tackle the common woe with my top 5 podcast productivity tips. Finding efficiencies and production hacks comes up from time to time with our clients so it was no surprise when one of them (who recently ushered a tiny human into the world) as for some tips. Juggling everything with her business, parenthood, and podcasting was suddenly feeling like too much but there was no way she was giving up her best lead generator. The solution? Amping up efficiency. Here's the good news — don't need to be sleep-deprived from baby duties to benefit from a sleeker production process.   Here are my top 5 tips for improving podcast productivity:   1. Plan More and Better Our first stop on the journey to podcasting efficiency: planning ahead like a seasoned pro. I've got a gem for you – a 90-day content calendar. Imagine having a roadmap for your podcasting escapade, knowing precisely what lies ahead and when. This isn't just about rescuing time from the clutches of chaos; it's about tapping into a wellspring of creative energy. When you're not grappling with last-minute decisions, your creative juices flow effortlessly, like a river surging after a spring rain. 2. Embrace The AI Revolution Ah, AI – the contemporary magician of efficiency. Embrace AI as your trusty sidekick. This technological marvel isn't just for whipping up recipes with your pantry staples (though it's surprisingly good at that). AI can propel your podcasting game to unparalleled heights. Use AI to brainstorm topic ideas, craft script outlines, suggest interview questions, and even handle post-production tasks like show notes, transcripts, and social media content. Can you tell if this was AI-generated? For a deep dive into this AI wonderland, don't miss episodes 175, 176, and the AI-hosted episode in between. 3. Unleash Your Inner Producer It's time to channel the producer's mindset. It all starts with pre-interview preparation. The time invested here translates into time saved during the interview and editing. During interviews, start a clock when you hit record then, armed with a trusty pen and paper, jot down notes – what to keep, feature, chop — this will streamline your editing process. Even for solo shows, this rule still holds – production notes are your best way to track pickups, best takes, and even promotional snippets. Doing this will save you a mountain of time during editing and promotion. 4. Have Systems, Dammit. Life is simply more beautiful with systems in place. I could do a whole episode on this topic alone. (Interested? Let me know!) But for now, here's a sneak peek. The crown jewel of systems is your file management. Every file has to have a home. Create a folder system that houses each show, its assets, and all recorded elements, each episode basking in its well-organized haven. And don't underestimate time blocking; it's not just for the corporate realm. Block out your schedule, set deadlines for pivotal production components, and establish a hub for seamless team communication. And don't forget templates! Whether it's your production blueprint, episode outlines, show notes, or even email and social media templates – they're the secret to saving time and maintaining consistency. 5. Master the Art of Batch Recording Imagine if you could get the savings of a Costco spree, and apply it to your podcast production time. That's the power of bulk, baby. In the podcast world, it's called batch recording. When you're not operating from a permanent studio, this technique is pure gold. Record multiple interviews or solo shows in a single session. Here's a pro tip: sync this strategy with batching other production elements like script outlines, research, or email outreach. Your vocal stamina might be the only limit, but you'll soon find your groove. That One Shortcut That's a No-Go Now, let's talk about a contentious shortcut: AI-driven editing. I'm not on board with this one. AI-edited content often feels robotic, with every breath and natural pause scrubbed away. Real people breathe, they hesitate, they say 'um' and 'ah.' If you're considering AI for the heavy lifting, that's fine – as long as you or your editor fine-tune the results. After investing so much time and effort into your show, the last thing you want is for your listeners to question your authenticity. Whether it's a newborn or just life in general that's sucking up your time - efficiency is your trusty ally. Apply these tips: craft your plan, welcome AI, embrace your inner producer, build solid systems, and wield the art of batch recording. And don't forget – maintain your authenticity by keeping those edits human. Hungry for more? Eager to unlock my treasure trove of templates and time-saving systems? You're in luck!

Your spouse is emotional. What should you do? What should you say? What if you don't agree?

I thought the empathy was just about being with someone during the tough stuff, but it's also being there with them during the fun stuff. It's, rejoice with those who rejoice and cry with those who cry.

I've been asked a million times, "Hey, what's the deal with that logo?"In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm diving into a story that's etched onto my very skin - the story behind the Happy Hustle logo. Picture this: a smiley face with a cheeky red X over one eye. Intrigued? Well, let's get cozy and I'll spill the beans on how this logo came to be. Back in the day, I was living my life to the fullest, hustlin in the tech world. But, like many of us, I hit a point where I needed a break. So, I went to Bali, embracing the traveler's spirit, and probably more than a few beach parties. One day, I met a girl who had some sort of connection to a tattoo artist and we decided on tattoos. While she chickened out, I took the plunge. I doodled a simple smiley face on a whim, and then, in a bold move, gave it a twist by adding an X over one eye. Why, you ask? Life's got its punches, but I was all about pushing through with positivity. That little smiley represented controlling the two things I believed in – my attitude and my effort.Fast forward to 2019, the year I birthed The Happy Hustle. Staring at my ankle, a light bulb went off. The logo! That smiley face I'd tattooed all those years ago – it was more than just skin-deep. It was a reminder to Happy Hustlin, no matter what life throws. Thanks to my talented cousin Jason, the Happy Hustle logo came to life. It's more than just a logo; it's a symbol of pushing through, staying positive, and finding joy in the journey. You see, life's not about just reaching the destination, it's about savoring the views along the way.My philosophy is all about keeping that balance to find happiness. I've even got this nifty tool called the Happy Hustle Blissful Balancer. It's a reminder to tweak those life dials, stay aligned, and achieve your dream reality. So, what's the deal with the logo's wink? Life, my friend. Life happens, and sometimes it's a metaphorical sock in the eye. But hey, you control your attitude and effort, and that's where the magic lies. That logo is my daily reminder to persevere with a smile and to hustle with heart.And that's the scoop! Tattoos might be permanent, but life's moments are even more so. They're meant to be experienced and cherished. That's what the Happy Hustle's all about – being present, smiling through the punches, and living a life fueled by positive vibes.So stay hustlin', stay happy, and keep rocking that amazing journey!Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/cary__jack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featuredGet a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustlebook.com/Sign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Course http://www.thehappyhustle.com/JourneyApply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure https://caryjack.com/montana“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode sponsor Are you tired of lying awake at night, burdened by endless thoughts and worries about your upcoming day?
