VIBRISSE INVITES TRYPTID / TOXIC SICKNESS RESIDENCY SHOW #6 / NOVEMBER / 2025 by TOXIC SICKNESS OFFICIAL

Welcome back to Snafu with Robin Zander. In this episode, I'm joined by Kevan Lee and Shannon Deep, co-founders of Bonfire – a creative studio reimagining what it means to build brands, tell stories, and live meaningful lives. We talk about how Bonfire began as a "Trojan horse" – a branding agency on the surface, but really a vehicle for deeper questions: What does fulfilling work look like? How do we find meaning beyond our careers? And how can business become a space for honesty, connection, and growth? Kevan and Shannon share how their partnership formed, what it takes to build trust as co-founders, and how vulnerability and self-awareness fuel their collaboration. We explore their path from tech and theater to building Bonfire, hosting creative retreats, and helping founders tell more authentic stories. We also dive into how AI is changing storytelling, the myth of "broetry" on LinkedIn, and why transparency is the future of marketing. If you're curious about what's next for creativity, leadership, and meaningful work, this episode is for you. And for more conversations like this, stay tuned for Responsive Conference 2026, where we'll be continuing the dialogue on human connection, business, and the evolving role of AI. Start (0:00) How Bonfire Started (14:25) Robin notes how transparent and intentional they've been building their business and community Says Bonfire feels like a 21st-century agency – creative, human, and not traditional Invites them to describe what they're building and their vision for it Kevan's response: Admits he feels imposter syndrome around being called an "entrepreneur" Laughs that it's technically true but still feels strange Describes Bonfire as partly a traditional branding agency They work with early-stage startups Help with brand strategy, positioning, messaging, and differentiation. But says the heart of their work is much deeper "We create spaces for people to explore what a fulfilling life looks like – one that includes work, but isn't defined by it." Their own careers inspired this – jobs that paid well but felt empty, or jobs that felt good but didn't pay the bills Bonfire became their way to build something more meaningful A space to have these conversations themselves And to invite others into it This includes community, retreats, and nontraditional formats Jokes that the agency side is a Trojan horse – a vehicle to fund the work they truly care about Shannon adds: They're agnostic about what Bonfire "does" Could be a branding agency, publishing house, even an ice cream shop "Money is just gas in the engine." The larger goal is creating spaces for people to explore their relationship to work Especially for those in transition, searching for meaning, or redefining success Robin reflects on their unusual path Notes most marketers who start agencies chase awards and fame But Shannon and Kevan built Bonfire around what they wished existed Recalls their past experiences Kevan's path from running a publication (later sold to Vox) to Buffer and then Oyster Shannon's shared time with him at Oyster Mentions their recent milestone – Bonfire's first live retreat in France 13 participants, including them Held in a rented castle For a two-year-old business, he calls it ambitious and impressive Asks: "How did it go? What did people get out of it?" Shannon on the retreat Laughs that they're still processing what it was They had a vibe in mind – but not a fixed structure One participant described it as "a wellness retreat for marketers" Not wrong – but also not quite right Attendees came from tech and non-tech backgrounds The focus: exploring people's most meaningful relationship to work Who you are when you're not at your desk How to bring that awareness back to real life — beyond castles and catered meals People came at it from different angles Some felt misaligned with their work Others were looking for something new Everyone was at a crossroads in their career Kevan on the space they built The retreat encouraged radical honesty People shared things like: "I have this job because I crave approval." "I care about money as a status symbol." "I hate what I do, but I don't know what else I'd be good at." They didn't force vulnerability, but wanted to make it safe if people chose it They thought deeply about values – what needed to be true for that kind of trust Personally, Kevan says the experience shifted his identity From "marketer" to something else – maybe "producer," maybe "creator" The retreat made him realize how many paths are possible "Now I just want to do more of this." Robin notes there are "so many threads to pull on" Brings up family business and partnerships Shares his own experience growing up in his dad's small business Talks about lessons from Robin's Cafe and the challenges of partnerships Says he's fascinated by co-founder dynamics – both powerful and tricky Asks how Shannon and Kevan's working relationship works What it was like at Oyster Why they decided to start Bonfire together And how it's evolved after the retreat Kevan on their beginnings He hired Shannon at Oyster – she was Editorial Director, he was SVP of Marketing Worked together for about a year and a half Knew early on that something clicked Shared values Similar worldview Trusted each other When Oyster ended, partnering up felt natural – "Let's figure out what's next, together." Robin observes their groundedness Says they both seem stable and mature, which likely helps the partnership Jokes about his own chaos running Robin's Café – late nights, leftover wine, cold quinoa Asks Shannon directly: "Do you still follow Kevan's lead?" Shannon's laughs and agrees they're both very regulated people But adds that it comes from learned coping mechanisms Says they've both developed pro-social ways to handle stress People-pleasing Overachievement Perfectionism Intellectualizing feelings instead of expressing them "Those are coping mechanisms too," she notes, "but at least they keep us calm when we talk." Building Trust and Partnership (14:54–23:15) Shannon says both she and Kevan have done deep personal work. Therapy, reflection, and self-inquiry are part of their toolkit. That helps them handle a relationship that's both intimate and challenging. They know their own baggage. They try not to take the other person's reactions personally. It doesn't always work—but they trust they'll work through conflict. When they started Bonfire: They agreed the business world is unpredictable. So they made a pinky swear: Friends first, business second. The friendship is the real priority. When conflict comes up, they ask: "Is this really life or death—or are we just forgetting what matters?" Shannon goes back to the question and clarifies  Says they lead in different ways. Each has their "zone of genius." They depend on each other's strengths. It's not leader and follower – it's mutual reliance. Shannon explains: Kevan's great at momentum: He moves things forward and ships projects fast. Shannon tends to be more perfectionist: Wants things to be fully formed before releasing. Kevan adds they talk often about "rally and rest." Kevan rallies, he thrives on pressure and urgency. Shannon rests, she values slowing down and reflection. Together, that creates a healthy rhythm.  Robin notes lingering habits Wonders if any "hangovers" from their Oyster days remain. Kevan reflects  At first, he hesitated to show weakness. Coming from a manager role, vulnerability felt risky. Shannon quickly saw through it. He realized openness was essential, not optional. Says their friendship and business both rely on honesty. Robin agrees and says he wouldn't discourage co-founders—it's just a big decision. Like choosing a spouse, it shapes your life for years. Notes he's never met with one of them without the other. "That says something," he adds. Their partnership clearly works—even if it takes twice the time. Rethinking Marketing (23:19) Kevan's light moment: Asks if Robin's comment about their teamwork was feedback for them. Robin's observation  Notes how in sync Shannon and Kevan are. Emails one, gets a reply CC'd with the other. Says the tempo of Bonfire feels like their collaboration itself. Wonders what that rhythm feels like internally. Kevan's response  Says it's partly intentional, partly habit. They genuinely enjoy working together. Adds they don't chase traditional agency milestones. No interest in Ad Age lists or Cannes awards. Their goal: have fun and make meaningful work. Robin pivots to the state of marketing (24:04) Mentions the shift from Madison Avenue's glory days to today's tech-driven world. Refers to Mad Men and the "growth at all costs" startup era. Notes how AI and tech are changing how people see their role in work and life. Kevan's background  Came from startups, not agencies. Learned through doing, not an MBA. Immersed in books like Hypergrowth and Traction. Took Reforge courses—knows the mechanics of scaling. Before that, worked as a journalist. Gained curiosity and calm under pressure, but also urgency. Admits startup life taught him both good and bad habits. Robin notes  Neither lives the Madison Avenue life. Kevan's in Boise. Shannon's in France. Shannon's background Started in theater – behind the scenes as a dramaturg and producer. Learned how to shape emotion and tell stories. Transitioned into brand strategy in New York. Worked at a top agency, Siegel+Gale. Helped global B2B and B2C clients define mission, values, and design. Competed with big names like Interbrand and Pentagram. Later moved in-house at tech startups. Saw how B2B marketing often tries to "act cool" like B2C. Learned to translate creative ideas into language that convinces CFOs. Says her role often meant selling authentic storytelling to risk-averse execs. Admits she joined marketing out of necessity. "I was 27, broke in New York, and needed a parking spot for my storytelling skills." Robin connects the dots  Notes how Silicon Valley's "growth" culture mirrors old ad-world burnout. Growth at all costs. Not much room for creative autonomy. Adds most big agencies are now owned by holding companies. The original Madison Avenue independence is nearly gone. Robin's reflection  Mentions how AI-generated content is changing video and storytelling. Grateful his clients still value human connection. Asks how Bonfire helps brands tell authentic stories now that the old model is fading. Kevan's take  Says people now care less about "moments" and more about audiences. It's not about one viral hit—it's about building consistency. Brands need to stand for something, and keep showing up. People want that outcome, even if they don't want the hard work behind it. Shannon adds Notes rising skepticism among audiences. Most content people see isn't from who they follow, it's ads and algorithms. Consumers are subconsciously filtering out the noise. Says that's why human storytelling matters more than ever. People crave knowing a real person is behind the message. AI can mimic tone but not authenticity. Adds it's hard to convince some clients of that. Authentic work isn't fast or easily measured. It requires belief in the process and a value system to match. That's tough when your client's investors only want quick returns. Robin agrees  "Look at people's incentives and I'll tell you who they are." Shannon continues Wonders where their responsibility ends. Should they convince people of their values? Or just do the work and let the right clients come? Kevan says they've found a sweet spot with current clients. Mostly bootstrapped founders. Work with them long-term instead of one-off projects. Says that's the recipe that fits Bonfire's values and actually works. The Quarter Analogy (35:36) Robin quotes BJ Fogg: "Don't try to persuade people of your worldview. Look for people who already want what you can teach, and just show them how." He compares arguing with people who don't align to "an acrobat arguing with gravity – gravity will win 100% of the time." The key: harness momentum instead of fighting resistance. Even a small, aligned audience is better than chasing everyone. Kevan shares Bonfire's failed experiment with outbound sales: They tried reaching out to recently funded AI companies. "It got us nowhere," he admits. That experience reminded him how much old startup habits – growth at all costs, scale fast – still shape thinking. "I thought success meant getting as big as possible, as fast as possible. That meant doing outbound, even if it felt inauthentic." But that mindset just added pressure. Realizing there were other ways to grow – slower, more intentional – was a relief. Now they've stopped outbound entirely. Focused instead on aligned clients who find them naturally. Robin connects it to a MrBeast quote. "If I'm not ashamed of the video I put out last week, I'm not growing fast enough." He says he doesn't love the "shame" part but relates to the evolution mindset – Looking back at work from six months ago and thinking, I'd do that differently now. Growth as a visible, measurable journey. Robin shifts to storytelling frameworks: Mentions Kevan and Shannon's analogies about storytelling and asks about "the quarter analogy." Kevan explains the "quarter" story: A professor holds up two quarters: "Sell me the one on the right." No one can – until someone says, "I'll dip it in Marilyn Monroe's purse." That coin now has emotional and cultural value. Marketing can be the same – alchemy that turns something ordinary into something meaningful. Robin builds on that: You can tell stories about a coin's history – "Lincoln touched it," etc. But Kevan's version is different: adding new meaning in the present. "How do you imbue something with value now that makes it matter later?" Shannon's take: It's about values and belonging. "Every story implicitly says: believe this." That belief also says: we don't believe that – defining who's in your tribe. Humans crave that – community, validation, connection. That belonging is intangible but real. "Try selling that to a CFO who just wants ROI. Impossible — but it's real." Kevan adds: Values are one piece – authenticity is another. Some brands already have a genuine story; others want to create one. "We get asked to dip AI companies into Marilyn Monroe's purse," he jokes. The real work is uncovering what's true or helping brands rediscover it. The challenge: telling that story consistently and believably. Robin mentions Shannon's storytelling framework of three parts – Purpose → Story frameworks → Touch points. Shannon breaks it down: Clients usually come in with half-baked "mission" or "vision" statements. She uses Ogilvy's "Big Ideal" model: Combine a cultural tension (what's happening in the world) with your brand's best self. Then fill in the blank: "We believe the world would be a better place if…" That single sentence surfaces a company's "why us" and "why now." It's dramaturgy, really — same question as in theater: "Why this play now?" "Why us?" Bonfire's own version (in progress): "We believe the world would be a better place if people and brands had more room to explore their creativity." Kevan adds: it's evolving, like them. Robin relates it back to his own story: After selling Robin's Café, he started Zander Media to tell human stories. He wanted to document real connections — "the barista-customer relationships, the neighborhood changing." That became his north star: storytelling as a tool for change and human connection. "I don't care about video," he says. "I care about storytelling, helping people become more of who they want to be." Kevan closes the loop: A good purpose statement is expansive. It can hold video, podcasts, even a publishing house. "Maybe tomorrow it's something else. That's the beauty — it allows room to grow." Against the Broetry (49:01) Kevan reflects on transparency and values at Bonfire He and Robin came from Buffer, a company known for radical transparency — posting salaries, growth numbers, everything. Says that while Bonfire isn't as extreme about it, the spirit is the same. "It just comes naturally to invite people in." Their openness isn't a tactic – it's aligned with their values and mission. They want to create space for people to explore – new ideas, new ways of working, more fulfilling lives. Sharing their journey publicly felt like the obvious, authentic thing to do. "It wasn't even a conversation – just who we are." Shannon jumps in with a critique of business culture online Says there's so much terrible advice about "how to build a business." Compliments Robin for cutting through the noise – being honest through Snafu and his newsletter. "You're trying to be real about what selling feels like and what it says about you." Calls out the "rise and grind" nonsense dominating LinkedIn: "Wake up at 4 a.m., protein shake at 4:10, three-hour workout…" Robin laughs – "I'll take the three-hour workout, but I'll pass on the protein shake." Shannon and Kevan call it "broetry" The overblown, performative business storytelling on social media. "I went on my honeymoon and here's what I learned about B2B sales." Their goal with building in public is the opposite: To admit mistakes. To share pivots and moments of doubt. To remind people that everyone is figuring it out. "But the system rewards the opposite – gatekeeping, pretending, keeping up the facade." Shannon says she has "no patience for it." She traces that belief back to a story from college Producer Paula Wagner once told her class: "Here's the secret: nobody knows anything." That line stuck with her. Gave her permission to question authority. To show up confidently even when others pretend to know more. After years of watching powerful men "fail upward," she realized: "The emperor has no clothes." So she might as well take up space too. Transparency, for her, is a form of connection and courage – "When people raise their eyes from their desks and actually meet each other, that's power." Robin thanks Shannon for the kind words about Snafu. Says their work naturally attracts people who want that kind of realness. Then pivots to a closing question: "If you had one piece of advice for founders – about storytelling or business building – what would it be?" Kevan's advice: "Look beyond what's around you." Inspiration doesn't have to come from your industry. Learn from other fields, other stories, other worlds. It builds curiosity, empathy, and creativity. Robin sums it up: "Get out of your silos." Shannon's advice: "Make the thing you actually want to see." Too many founders copy what's trendy or "smart." Ask instead: What would I genuinely love to consume? Remember your audience is human, like you. And remember, building a business is a privilege. You get to create a small world that reflects your values. You get to hire people, pay them, shape a culture. "That's so cool, and it should make you feel powerful." With that power comes responsibility. "Everyone says it's about making the most money. But what if the goal was to make the coolest world possible, for as many people as possible?" Where to find Kevan and Shannon (57:16) Points listeners to aroundthebonfire.com/experiences.

Solin invites Blank on Sub FM 4th November 2025 - https://www.sub.fm

The "Call of the Day" uncovers a hilarious disaster: Both BT and Sal were invited by Alex Rodriguez to the star-studded HBO premiere of his new docuseries, Alex vs. A-Rod. However, host BT "dropped the ball" by failing to communicate the invitation to Sal! A-Rod's request to "invite you and Sal" was sitting in the co-host's texts, leading to an immediate, fiery exchange. Sal rails against the missed red carpet opportunity with his "pal A-Rod" and demands BT immediately make up for the blunder by "brown-nosing" A-Rod to get him on the show. The segment also touches on the "bizarro world" of New York sports radio, where the Morning Show had Rick Pitino while BT and Sal had Sydney Sweeney.

Send us a textGod loves us unconditionally. He has provided everything we need for life and godliness, including everything we will face in our careers.When we face obstacles on our journey to fulfilling our God-given goals, it's important to remember the power of faith and prayer. Jesus assures us that we can ask, seek, and knock, and we will receive what we need. Divine promises hold the incredible power to dynamically change our circumstances when combined with our faith and our prayers.We share a powerful promise that "Ask and it will be given you. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you." Mattew 7:7Faith in God promises empowers us to move from vague and uncertain outcomes to the faithfulness of our Father in Heaven, transforming prayer from vague hope into purposeful action.Rooted in Jesus' promise in Matthew 7:7-8 and illuminated by Mark 11, we explore how faith addresses obstacles. It's not just our faith, but also the guidance and support of the Holy Spirit that helps us prepare and move forward when God opens the way. The Holy Spirit is our constant companion, leading us, guiding us, and preparing us for the journey ahead.We start with God's heart: unconditional love and a commitment to give His best, not leftovers. From there, we delve into the practical aspects of the Holy Spirit's presence within us. The Holy Spirit is our constant companion, guiding us, ordering our steps, and empowering us to pursue the goals God has helped us set. You'll hear how to ask for wisdom with clarity, seek resources with focus, and knock on closed doors with words of faith that align with God's will. We discuss why speaking to challenges matters, how doubt erodes authority, and what it looks like to expect God to act without trying to control the timeline.Throughout, we emphasize the importance of preparation and obedience. When you believe God will open the door, you get ready: refine the plan, make the call, write the proposal, schedule the meeting. Then, when the door swings open, you walk through it in faith and give thanks. Along the way, we share how practicing time alone with God—using a pen, notebook, and a few verses—helps you hear God's direction for your life and work. Insight shared is insight multiplied, so we encourage you to pass on what you learn to someone who needs courage today.If this message lifts your faith or meets you at a closed door, subscribe for more teachings, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review to help others find it. Tell us: what door are you knocking on this week? Is it a job opportunity that seems out of reach? A relationship that needs mending? A health issue that needs healing? Whatever it is, remember that God is on the other side of that door, ready to open it when the time is right.https://www.seldicompany.com/

Meditación del Evangelio según San Lucas 14, 12-14 por el biblista P. Norberto Padilla, misionero claretiano.3/nov/2025, No invites a tus amigos, sino a pobres y lisiados.Canción: De locos (2023), de Pablo Martínez----------Lectura del santo evangelio según san Lucas 14, 12-14En aquel tiempo, decía Jesús a uno de los principales fariseos que le había invitado: "Cuando des una comida o una cena, no invites a tus amigos, ni a tus hermanos, ni a tus parientes, ni a tus vecinos ricos; porque corresponderán invitándote, y quedarás pagado. Cuando des un banquete, invita a pobres, lisiados, cojos y ciegos; dichoso tú, porque no pueden pagarte; te lo pagarán cuando resuciten los justos."Palabra del Señor...

The Lord called to Moses and spoke to him. . . . He said, “Speak to the Israelites and say. . . .” — Leviticus 1:1-2 Yesterday we saw how God's perfect holiness meant that even Moses, whom God had specially chosen, had to be careful about approaching the Lord. How then could the people themselves have fellowship with God?In the opening verses of Leviticus, we see that God speaks first, inviting the people into relationship with him. And God sets the terms.Maybe we imagine that we can decide how to relate with God. For example, some people suppose that living a highly moral life earns God's acceptance. Others downplay the seriousness of sin. But these approaches are woefully inadequate, failing to take God and his holiness seriously—not to mention the fact that we are all sinful and cannot even approach God unless he makes a way possible for us.God's presence will come into our lives, changing every part of us—our relationships, our work, our desires, our priorities, and our whole outlook on life. But we enter God's presence on his terms.God appointed Moses to teach the people what was needed to live in God's presence at that time. Centuries later, God spoke his word again—and “the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us” (John 1:14). Jesus is God's Word to us, and he came to teach and save us so that when we look to him in faith, God's life-changing presence enters our lives! Holy and awesome God, you are present with us always! We thank you for Jesus, who makes it possible for us to live each day in your presence. Amen.

Meditación del día 3 de noviembre de 2025 Palabra de Vida

San Lucas 14, 12 – 14Un sábado, Jesús entró a comer en casa de unos de los principales fariseos. Ellos lo observaban atentamente. Jesús dijo al que lo había invitado: «Cuando des un almuerzo o una cena, no invites a tus amigos, ni a tus hermanos, ni a tus parientes, ni a los vecinos ricos, no sea que ellos te inviten a su vez, y así tengas tu recompensa. Al contrario, cuando des un banquete, invita a los pobres, a los lisiados, a los paralíticos, a los ciegos. ¡Feliz de ti, porque ellos no tienen cómo retribuirte, y así tendrás tu recompensa en la resurrección de los justos!»………………Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2M0Ubx3Jh55B6W3b20c3GOApple podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/evangelio-del-d%C3%ADa/id1590423907 Para más información puede consultar nuestro sitio: https://www.vozcatolica.com o escríbanos a info@vozcatolica.com .Si quiere colaborar con este Apostolado lo puede hacer dirigiéndose a: https://vozcatolica.com/ayudanos .

Cockatoos Confirmed as Structural Vandals; Magpie Invites Itself Inside. Jeremy Zakis discusses how the destructive behavior of cockatoos is confirmed as they pulled so many nails from a neighbor's iron roof that the structure is now drooping, necessitating expensive, specialized repairs. Cockatoos are described as "pure evil with wings" and are known for tearing up building structures. Conversely, Dallas the poodle's friends, the magpies, are growing bolder. One teenage magpie walked four feet into Jeremy's kitchen and calmly listened to him before eventually walking back out. Australian magpies are even said to have a unique, twangy "Australian accent."

  When God opens a new door—new rooms, roles, and reach—rejection often flares. Not just opinions…a spirit that tries to reopen old wounds so you'll misread favor and self-sabotage. In this practical, Bible-rich teaching you'll learn why rejection increases in promotion, how to spot the 7 manifestations, where the open doors came from, and a clear activation to break agreement and walk free.

Throughout the promotion of SOUL ON FIRE, one name kept coming up around our office- Jan Roseberry! She was booking theaters, posting constantly on social media, even sending “you got this” notes to my team during one of the busiest seasons of our professional lives. And it made me wonder: what kind of person gives so freely of their time and heart for something bigger than themselves? Over the past few weeks, I've gotten to know Jan even better than I previously did. And what I've discovered is that what makes her remarkable isn't one big moment. It's a lifetime of saying yes to growth, even when the next step wasn't clear. And Jan's story reminds each of us that purpose often begins with a single, small yes.   Let me explain.

His latest exhibition, Dedicated to the One I Love, reflects what Jeffrey Gibson describes as a journey much like a loving relationship — marked by ups and downs, moments of great joy, and times of difficulty. As the first Indigenous artist to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale, Gibson talks about bringing Native American practices and performances to his pedestals at the U.S. Pavilion, and about how the ideas of French philosophers Simone de Beauvoir and Jacques Derrida have found their way into his installations. We discuss the artistic and social realities of living under a Trump presidency, and the sense of positivity he discovered by immersing himself in the natural world.

When Jesus visited the home of Mary and Martha, one was busy serving while the other sat at His feet. Both loved Him—but only one chose what was better.

Ask for HELP.MALE ANSWER SYNDROMEWhen a man doesn't know the answer instead of just saying, “I don't know,” he starts faking it as if he does.Our desire to be viewed as SUPERMAN has become our KRYPTONITE.Proverbs 13:10 Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.Asking for help isnt WEAK, it may be the STRONGEST thing you will ever do.Proverbs 15:22 Plans fail for lack of advice; but many advisors bring success.Exodus 18:7 So moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. They greeted each other and then went into the tent.Exodus 18:8 Moses told his father-in-law about everything the Lord had done to Pharoah and the Egyptians…Exodus 18:13 The very next day Moses took his seat to serve as judge for the people, and they stood around him from morning till evening.Exodus 18:14 When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people,he said, “What is this you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge, while all these people stand around you from morning till evening?”Exodus 18:15-16 Moses answered him, “Because the people come to me to seek God's will. Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me, and I decide between the parties and inform them of God's decrees and instructions.”Exodus 18:17-18 Moses' father-in-law replied, “What you are doing is not good.You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work istoo heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone.When you won't ask for help, you don't just wear yourself out. You wear out everyone else around you.Exodus 18:19 Listen now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God bewith you. You must be the people's representative before God and bring their disputes to him.Exodus 18:24 Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said.Exodus 18:27 “Then Moses sent his father-in-law on his way,”1. You may be one piece of advice away from a better future.2. Asking for help isn't ADMITTING failure, it's pursuing SUCCESS.3. The QUALITY OF PEOPLE you surround yourself with will determine the QUALITY OF ADVICE you get.5 Requirements for Getting Wise Advice1. Follower of JESUS.2. Choose EXPERIENCE over influence.3. Ask people that KNOW you the best and LOVE you the most.4. Ask MORE than one person.5. Ask someone you know will LIKELY DISAGREE with you.4. Asking for help INVITES the POWER of God.Psalm 121:1-2 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”

David Weiner is washing dishes. It's the 21st of the month, which means his D.C. rowhouse is full of people. Some are friends he's known for decades, others are people he's never met. There's a jazz band playing standards downstairs, and the music is floating up through the house. Some of the musicians are professionals, others are amateurs who showed up with an instrument and enough courage — liquid or otherwise — to join in.The price of admission is a $21 suggested donation to cover costs and pay the house band. A bottle of wine or food to share is welcome, too. Weiner always makes salmon and provides a big salad, as well as some snacks. Nearly everything else on the crowded table of food is brought by guests.The monthly party happens rain or shine, whether the 21st falls on a Monday or a Tuesday or a Friday. There was a hiatus during the pandemic, but otherwise it's happened almost every month for 15 years, drawing anywhere from 40 to a hundred people of all ages each time.The question I had for Weiner is: How does he keep this going?You can read more about Wiener's jazz party here.If you're looking for more surprising, delightful stories about the best of humanity, check out The Optimist from The Washington Post.
