Podcasts about Invisible thread

To kick off a contentious week for the USA, we share one of our FAVORITE stories about the thread that binds us, our goals, our dreams, and yes, even our money. Laura Schroff was a high-powered executive in Manhattan when her life was changed forever by an 11-year old boy. It's a story you won't soon forget. Plus, we're thrilled that Scott Trench, BiggerPockets CEO joins us as guest co-host. We talk about crypto, athletes, and their money. It's our favorite way to discuss how your own money decisions could be better made. We also dive into non-compete contracts. That world has been changing quickly, and we've got you covered.

In this episode Annabelle and Em get into quite a heavy topic, sparked by recent events, and therefore start this episode with a trigger warning. They discuss their own responses to the Bondi stabbing attack and how they have been processing this and feeling that strong, yet invisible thread, that connects Mothers to one another. This conversation leads into the anxieties and intrusive thoughts that Motherhood can bring, and Annbelle and Em share vulnerable stories about their own experiences with this.

On the streets of Pompeii, freedom came at a steep price--especially for women. Today, we talk to Elodie Harper--bestselling author of the Wolf Den and the House with the Golden Door--about enslaved people, freedwomen, and glamorous sex workers whose lives were far more precarious than they seemed.

Were you strong in math? How about English? Were there subjects in school you dreaded, and others you loved? According to Fenesha Hubbard, the way we view ourselves as learners shapes our academic identity, a concept the former teacher considers critical to getting all cogs in the educational ecosystem moving in the same direction to maximize performance for students and educators alike. Hubbard is now the lead professional learning designer for NWEA, and explains why academic identities are important to be in touch with.

When I chatted with Doug Powell at the end of February, I had no idea that it would be the last day I'd have internet... for a month. At least I got his Graham Eliot series ordered before it was too late! WHEW! So I got to chat with an apologist who decided to write archaeological thrillers. #BecauseReasons. Listen in to see how a graphic designer/songwriter became an apologist and novelist! When he said, "Think about it like Dan Brown only accurate," I knew I'd found a series for me! Note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. What Would You Like Better Than an Archaeological Thriller? Four? Well, I'd say five... six... seven, but at least we know we're getting five, thanks to this great chat with Doug. This was supposed to have come out near the end of March, but alas and alack... no internet. So... well... sigh. It's the first of May and now we finally get this great convo. If you love all things Biblical archaeology AND if you love Biblical ACCURACY, I think you'll love these books. I got mine in the mail just a week after I ordered them and I am so excited to read them! I suspect I'll be listening to one on my hikes around England during the next couple of weeks. EEEP! My conversation with Doug Powell (he was great and anticipated questions for me since I was so sick, Thanks Doug!) is full of fascinating information that made me want to dig right into those books. Great stuff, and I can tell he did his research (after all, he went all the way to Jerusalem to make sure the cats really are there. Okay... that's not quite how it happened, but you get the idea. ;) ) The Invisible Thread by Doug Powell When a Spanish priest learns of a skeptical organization's PR stunt to replicate the Shroud of Turin, Graham Eliot becomes part of his plan to counteract the bad publicity with a new revelation about the Shroud's authenticity. And the revelation relies on Graham secretly photographing the Shroud as well as the Sudarium of Oviedo—a relic believed to be a cloth wrapped around the head of Jesus as he died on the cross. On the day Graham is to begin, the project is canceled without explanation, and a video of him calling the Shroud a fake and accusing the church of hiding something appears online. To defend his reputation, Graham must rely on the help of his eccentric translator as well as the skeptic who posted the video. But the alliance is shattered when a death occurs during the skeptic's annual convention in America—and Graham's graduate student is the one suspected of the murder. You can learn more about Doug Powell and his books on his WEBSITE. You can also buy the books at Whitefire Publishing's website HERE and part of the proceeds will go to support the research Doug Powell used to write his books.

Have you ever wondered how your life might be different if you'd decided to take that gap year instead of attending college? Or maybe you decided at the last minute to change the course of your life by talking to a stranger? Laura Schroff backtracked into an unlikely meeting with an 11-year-old boy who was panhandling on the streets of New York City in the late 1980s. After initially walking by the starving child, something made her reverse course a few blocks later. That day turned into a lifelong friendship, creating lessons for both Laura and the boy (Maurice) over the years. She's here today to share tthe powerful tale, as her book that describes the story--An Invisible Thread--celebrates its 10th anniversary. AND as usual, we have more surprises...including a special guest co-host! BiggerPockets CEO and co-host of the BP Money Podcast Scott Trench joins in the fun. He helps us with our headline segment, which brings the conversation back to crypto but it's probably not what you think. Some stars and athletes have asked to be paid in crypto. How's that turning out for them? Joe and Scott dive into why it might not be the best idea. We'll also discuss Tyrell's question about non-compete agreements in our Haven Life line.

We are fashion lovers here at Invisible Thread but unfortunately fashion is a major contributor to waste, pollution, and the overall well being of our planet. Fashion is the second-largest consumer of water worldwide, fashion production makes up 10% of humanity's carbon emissions, and 85% of textiles end up in landfills. Sadly, these scary statistics are just the tip of the iceberg. Not only did we get to discuss fashion's impact on our beautiful planet but also ways in which we can improve our shopping and styling habits to be more ethically and sustainabilty conscious with our guest Sonia Kessler. Sonia is a stylist at Moda Operandi who styles within the framework of sustainability. She offers tips and tricks on how to make our closet as sustainable as possible and chats about some of her favorite brands. Sustainability is something that the fashion community needs to take seriously, not only this month because it is Earth Day on the 22, but year round. This week we want to give you a stying challenge! Dm us a photo of how you can style 3 different outfits using your favorite item from your closet!

In this episode I chat to an incredibly inspiring woman, serial entrepreneur, author, TED X speaker and founder of Leaders Quest and Co Leader of Future Stewards, Lindsay Levin. Lindsay tells me how she combined her fascination with people, leadership and travel, with a burning desire to use her business skills to help businesses do and be better, to create the not-for-profit Leaders Quest. Lindsay has sat with prisoners on death row, worked with community leaders in the slums of Mumbai and brokered talks between Israelis and Palestinians. She eloquently describes our shared humanity. She has seen at first hand the impact of climate change inspiring her to co-lead the launch of Future Leaders alongside Christiana Figueres after the Paris Climate Agreement in 2016. In this role she spearheaded the launch of TED Countdown a global partnership to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. If you are looking to be inspired, this is the episode for you. Finally, in a relevant twist on my normal closing questions, Lindsay shares her best non money purchases for around £30 and her Climate Pearls of Wisdom. Sit back, grab yourself an espresso (or drink of your choice!) and enjoy the conversation. • Lindsay can be found on LinkedIn here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsaylevin/ or at Leaders Quest here - https://leadersquest.org/who-we-are/people/lindsay-levin/ • Find out more about Countdown2022 - https://countdown.ted.com/ • Watch Lindsay's powerful TEDx talk here - https://www.tedxexeter.com/speakers/lindsay-levin/ If you would like to talk about your money matters do feel free to contact me on: • Twitter - twitter.com/RuthSturkey/ • LinkedIn - http://www.linkedin.com/in/ruthsturkey/

Powerhouse theatre-writing duo Matt Gould and Griffin Matthews join us to talk about their moving and personal musical, Witness Uganda (previously known as Invisible Thread when it premiered Off-Broadway at Second Stage Theatre). Inspired by couple's separate real-life experiences traveling to Africa—specifically Griffin's trip to Uganda—the story follows the character Griffin as he meets and tries to help five Ugandan teens, first by teaching them himself and then by sponsoring their education when he returns to New York. But is this the kind of help they want or need?  The musical asks many questions about altruism, public health, voluntourism, and the ethics of foreign aid. What does it look like to offer aid, particularly from the United States to a developing nation? Experts Afam Onyema of the GEANCO Foundation—which is simultaneously based in the U.S. and Nigeria (where it serves local Afridans)—and Ana Jimenez-Bautista, the director of Field Practice at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, join us for this fascinating conversation about what it really means to help and how we can offer assistance in the most useful ways.

1,252 black people have been shot and killed by police since January 1st, 2015 (NPR and The Washington Post). I want you to use these 1,252 seconds to educate yourself and contribute. Look at this document for petitions, places to donate, bail funds, and books to read. There is also a specific section of essential reading for theatre-makers that I encourage you to check out. Griffin Matthews, writer, composer, and lyricist of Witness Uganda (or Invisible Thread) speaks up about why Broadway is racist here. And last, but not least; use this time to be aware of who is creating the content you are consuming. Maybe begin listening to a podcast with a creator of color, or embark reading a play by a black playwright. America is based on capitalism; we create the world we live in through what we choose to consume.

How many times have you heard the phrase: We are all connected? More times than you can count, most likely. But have you ever stopped to really contemplate and process exactly what that means?

Today you will learn signs of when your threads need "cleaning"; signs they may be damaged; and ways to strengthen the threads/connections you hold so dear. Through stories, examples, and guidance from the Other Side, Julie and Brenda show you how these Invisible Threads become the web that tells the story of your unique, and forever-connected to all, Life.

The #1 New York Times Bestseller AN INVISIBLE THREAD By Laura Schroff and Alex Tresniowski PRAISE FOR THE #1 New York Times BESTSELLING MEMOIR AN INVISIBLE THREAD: “An Invisible Thread is like The Blind Side, but instead of football, it’s food. These are two people who were brought together by one simple meal, and it literally changed the course of both of their lives. This is a must-read . . . you can read it in a day because it’s impossible to put down. If you read it and find it as moving as I did, pay it forward: buy a copy and give it to a friend.” – Rachael Ray, host of The Rachael Ray Show “If you have a beating heart—or if you fear you’re suffering a hardening of the emotional arteries—you really ought to commit to this book at the earliest possible opportunity . . . read this book. And pass it on. And encourage the next reader to do the same.” – Jesse Kornbluth, Huffington Post From #1 New York Times bestselling authors Laura Schroff and Alex Tresniowski comes the young readers edition of an inspirational memoir about an unlikely friendship between a busy sales executive and a homeless eleven-year-old boy. One Monday afternoon, on a crowded New York City street corner, eleven-year old Maurice met Laura and asked for spare change because he was hungry. Something made Laura stop and offer to take Maurice to lunch. They met for dinner on the following Monday, and the Monday after that, and wound up getting together on m0re than 100 Mondays, forging an unlikely friendship that changed both their lives forever. Based on the true story of Laura Schroff and Maurice Mazyck, An Invisible Thread chronicles the bond between an eleven-year-old boy and a busy sales executive; a heartwarming journey of hope, kindness, adventure, and love—and the power of fate to help us find our way.

Nicolette Robinson is an award winning actress and was most recently cast as Jenna , the lead in the Broadway musical, "Waitress."  Born and raised in Los Angeles and married to the Hamilton Tony Award winning actor Leslie Odom Jr. , Nicolette opens up about her struggles and triumphs and takes us on an emotional journey that gives listeners an honest and beautiful account of what is is to live the life of an artist. This fall, Robinson made her Broadway debut stepping into the lead role of “Jenna” in the multiple Tony Award nominated musical, WAITRESS. With a book by Jessie Nelson, music by Sara Bareilles, and direction by Diane Paulus, the show has played to full audiences over almost 1,000 performances. On September 4, 2018, Robinson became the first African-American woman and the first mother to play the lead role. Robinson appeared Off-Broadway in the 2015 production of BROOKLYNITE at the Vineyard Theatre, directed by Michael Mayer from a book he co-wrote with Peter Lerman, which earned a 2015 Off Broadway Alliance Award nomination for Best New Musical. She also starred in the new musical, INVISIBLE THREAD, for director Diane Paulus and Second Stage Theatre. Of her performance, Time Out New York wrote that Robinson was “poised and possessed of an ethereal soprano… marvelous.” INVISIBLE THREAD began its life as WITNESS UGANDA – in which Robinson also starred – with book, music, and lyrics by Matt Gould and Griffin Matthews. It was based on the true story of Matthews' humanitarian trips to Uganda, and his work to fund his nonprofit, Uganda Project. The musical premiered in February 2014 at Cambridge's American Repertory Theater before transferring to Off-Broadway. Robinson also co-starred in Barrington Stage Company’s A LITTLE MORE ALIVE, with book, music, and lyrics by Nick Blaemire. In this heartfelt and original folk-pop musical, two estranged brothers reunite at their childhood home after their mother’s funeral. An unexpected revelation distorts their memories and uncovers secrets. Robinson starred as ‘Lizzie’, the hospice worker who’d been caring for the mother, and the Berkshire Eagle called her “luminous.” On television, Robinson co-starred with Ruth Wilson and Dominic West as ‘Jane’ on Showtime’s Golden Globe Award-winning drama series, THE AFFAIR. She has also appeared on HART OF DIXIE, UNFORGETTABLE, PERFECT COUPLES, and COLD CASE, among others. Nicolette received the Princess Grade Award for Theater and is a graduate of the University of California Los Angeles School of Theater, Film, & Television. She is primarily based in Los Angeles, where she resides with her husband, Leslie Odom Jr., and their baby daughter.

Jesus, speaking to his disciples in the Gospel of John before he is arrested and before his journey to cross and resurrection begins, says, “Abide in me, and I in you.” He tells the disciples to “abide in my love.” In 1847, Henry Francis Lyte wrote a poem as a prayer for God to remain present. This poem became the hymn “Abide With Me.” When we think of the word abide as a people of faith, we think of a deep, personal connection to God through Christ. For 4 Sundays, we will reflect on the word abide and the way God abides with us, and we abide with God and one another. Today, we celebrate our graduating students and remind them of the connection they will forever have to this place, to us as their family in God, and to God through Christ as God promises to abide with them wherever they may go. I hope to see you each week as we abide in love and worship together!

How he got the courage to audition for a dance show, having never taken a dance class in his life. Why instead of staying in NYC, he moved back to Toronto to start his choreography career. The part of the process he loves the most (and why he’s a nervous wreck before he gets to this part in a show’s development). His message to the politicians in NYC. What he looks for in a show before he sets a step.   Keep up with me: @KenDavenportBway www.theproducersperspective.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Computing is transforming every aspect of the human experience. As creators of this technology, what obligations do we have to the general public, for whom we make the complex machinery of computing increasingly invisible?

Maree Giles' debut novel, Invisible Thread, is a semi-autobiographical account of life for a young girl in the Gunyah Training School for Girls in 1970. Despite its sometimes harrowing story, it received rave reviews. Interview by Valerie Khoo, director of Sydney Writers' Centre. www.sydneywriterscentre.com.au www.valeriekhoo.com
