Podcast appearances and mentions of James Martin

On Hour 3 of Patrick Madrid's show, Cece is wondering about the morality of getting a hysterectomy post menopause, what is the new synodal Church, Patrick talks more about the SSPX and Calvinist comparison and Justin's email confirms why Patrick's comparison can be correct. Email – Cece – I am wondering about the morality of getting a hysterectomy post menopause. Margaret - What is the new synodal church? If Catholics aren't supporting homosexuality, then why is Fr. James Martin still allowed to work? Break 1 Michael - We went to a Catholic Church that had a communion rail. This brought me back to my childhood and receiving at a communion rail. Email – Bruno – You went on to compare the SSPX to Calvinists. Email – Justin: I know several people who support the SSPX and have a myriad of arguments that they are not in schism. Break 2 Stephen - I noticed a lot of tension between Protestant and Catholics. I'd like to compare the finger-pointing, and I really appreciate how you explained the differences.

In this powerful episode, serial entrepreneur and property mogul James Martin opens up about his fascinating life and business journey. From being kicked out of school at 14 due to severe dyslexia to running a national tree surgery business by age 18, James shares the real, unfiltered truths behind his incredible track record of building and selling million-pound enterprises.  Dive into an intense and vulnerable discussion that covers the dark side of severe learning difficulties, the emotional roller coaster of management buyouts, the stark realities of hard work versus smart work, and what it truly takes to develop standard-defining commercial intelligence. You'll Learn Why: A strong sense of gratitude acts as a professional superpower that grounds highly successful leaders and separates real high performers from the rest of the pack. Delegating early is the ultimate accelerator for scale, allowing you to step out of the trenches of your company and instead focus on overarching strategy and growth. The biggest business failures or dropped deals can be flipped into massive windfalls if you possess the resilience to calmly buy back and optimise your assets. A hard work ethic means absolutely nothing without a future-proof model, proper financial liquidity, and an open mind ready to seek expert advice. Whether you're a founder, CEO, small business owner, entrepreneur, startup leader or executive, these lessons will help you make smarter hiring decisions and build a stronger, more successful business.

The Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit author and educator, believes everyone's life is a spiritual journey. "We're all on this spiritual journey to understand ourselves, to understand how God loves us, to experience God's love and to give that love back to God and to other people," he said. Martin is the author of the new book, “Work in Progress: Confessions of a busboy, dishwasher, caddy, usher, factory worker, bank teller, corporate tool, and priest.” The book explores the many professional experiences he had before becoming a priest. Martin reflects on his early life and the formative time he spent in Connecticut, where he worked as an employee at General Electric and made a decision that would forever change the course of his life.

The Author Events Series presents James Martin, SJ | Work in Progress  In Conversation with Tamala Edwards Work in Progress, set in the Philly suburbs, is a snapshot of several years-first as a boy, then as a teenager, and finally as a young adult--of being thrown into a series of jobs for which Martin had zero training. He had never set foot in a restaurant kitchen before working as a busboy and dishwasher; never stepped onto a golf course before working as a caddy; and had never seen a factory floor before working as an assembly-line worker. He almost always felt uncomfortable, unsettled, and uneasy. But, like many of us, he needed the money. This coming-of-age story is set in the 1960s and 1970s, a lighthearted tale for readers who enjoy personal narratives, and it's unlike anything Father Martin has written before. As he puts it, "This is a spiritual memoir from a different angle ... told 'slant' as Emily Dickinson might say." Each chapter features photos of memories and milestones throughout Father Martin's young life. If you're an aficionado of snafus, you won't be disappointed. He's not the hero of these stories, more a hapless teenager who learns in each job, even the ones he loathes, something about the value of work, about what it means to be an adult, about people, and about life overall. Rev. James Martin, SJ, born in Philadelphia and raised in the suburbs, is a Jesuit priest, editor at large of America magazine, consultor to the Vatican's Dicastery for Communication, and author of the New York Times bestsellers Learning to Pray, Jesus: A Pilgrimage, and The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything. Father Martin is a frequent commentator in the national and international media, having appeared on all the major networks and outlets, like The Colbert Report, NPR's Fresh Air, The New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal. Tamala Edwards joined 6abc in January of 2005. She is the weekday co-anchor of Action News Mornings from 4 a.m to 7 a.m. and is a regular co-host of Inside Story, conducting probing interviews with newsmakers like Governor Tom Corbett, Senator Bob Casey, Mayor Michael Nutter and others, as well as moderating many election debates. Prior to joining 6abc, Tamala Edwards was the anchor of ABC's World News Now, and World News This Morning.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 21, 2026 is: assiduous • uh-SIJ-uh-wus • adjective Assiduous is a formal word that means “showing great care, attention, and effort.” // Thanks to the assiduous efforts of the local land trust over many years, a substantial amount of whip-poor-will habitat is now protected from development. See the entry > Examples: “My mom was also assiduous about what we would today call food safety, avoiding anything that could possibly cause illness, especially raw meat: ‘Well done' was the norm for everything, and anything that could possibly go bad was kept in the fridge.” — James Martin, Work in Progress: Confessions of a Busboy, Dishwasher, Caddy, Usher, Factory Worker, Bank Teller, Corporate Tool, and Priest, 2026 Did you know? While assiduous means “showing great care, attention, and effort,” and in some situations may be an appropriate substitute for careful, it's got a bit more oomph than careful in that it suggests a dogged or tireless persistence. If you are assiduous in your efforts (or work, research, analysis, training, preparations, etc.) for example, it's implied that you're in it for the long haul, or that you have the ability to “sit with” a task or challenge for a considerable amount of time. This idea is fitting given that assiduous comes from the Latin verb assidēre, meaning “to sit beside.”

We keep it simple and practical by using a four-part framework you can apply to any portfolio: choose your asset first, then the fund, then the account, and only then the platform. That one change stops you picking a shiny investing app and shoehorning your plan into whatever it happens to sell, and it puts the focus back on what actually drives results: asset allocation and time horizon.We dig into the part almost everyone gets wrong: confusing risk with volatility. Volatility is the price of admission for long-term returns, especially if you are investing for 10+ years. We also pull inflation into the conversation, because returns that fail to beat inflation are not real progress towards financial freedom. Using clear examples, we explore why some “low risk” portfolios can be risky in a different way, by making it harder to reach your goals.From there we move into the nuts and bolts: using funds, ETFs and index funds for global diversification, what to look for in tracking and fund charges, and why passive investing often wins after fees. We then weigh up UK investing accounts such as a General Investment Account, an ISA, and a pension or SIPP, focusing on the trade-off between tax efficiency and access. Finally, we talk platforms, the reality behind “no fee” claims, flat fee versus percentage pricing, and the fee ranges that should make you pause.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Right, this is where things get a bit more… unhinged. In this bonus episode, Katy and James Martin ditch the big topics and just have a proper chat. It's looser, more playful, and exactly the kind of conversation you'd have if you were sat next to each other at the pub after the mics were meant to be off. They get into the small stuff that says a lot. The daily rituals that keep you sane. The trends that quietly drive you mad. The advice you wish would disappear forever. And yes, it goes exactly where you'd expect… pasta shapes, rave memories, and a few moments where you wonder how you're both still alive. There's honesty in here, too. The kind that sneaks up on you when you stop trying to be clever and just talk. It's messy, funny, and full of those little insights that only come out when you're not overthinking it. And, of course, it ends with a question for the next guest that might reveal more about someone than anything else. Don't take it too seriously. That's kind of the point.

What does "personal branding" actually mean anymore? And do we really need to be visible all the time to build a successful creative career? In this episode, Katy sits down with designer and founder James Martin (Made by James) for a candid, funny and surprisingly deep conversation about the reality behind the buzzwords. From the pressure to show up online to the myth of "being your authentic self", they unpack why so much of what we're told just doesn't quite sit right. James shares his perspective on branding as something far simpler and more grounded. Not performance, but reputation. Not chasing attention, but building trust over time. Together, they explore what actually matters if you want to grow a creative career that lasts. There's talk of confidence, comparison culture, and the uncomfortable truth that many of us still don't quite know who we are, let alone how to present ourselves online. Katy reflects on her own journey of stepping forward after years of staying behind the scenes, and why letting go of perfection can be the turning point. Along the way, James introduces his 'DEEDS' model, a practical way to think about building a reputation through action rather than noise. It's a refreshing reminder that you don't need to play the game the way everyone else is. It's honest. Messy. And it's a much-needed reset for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to be seen. So if you've ever questioned whether you're doing it "right" online, this one's for you.

Ever feel overwhelmed by the pressure to chase visibility as a designer? You're not alone.Tag someone who needs to hear this!In our latest chat, we dive into the evolving landscape of design, where the expectation to be constantly visible online can feel like a burden. Many new creatives enter the industry believing they must be active on social media to succeed, but that's not the only path.James shares insights on how the mindset of young designers has shifted. With access to endless inspiration, it's easy to feel inadequate compared to others. But remember, your unique journey matters more than the noise around you.As we reflect on the importance of focusing on what truly drives your passion, it's crucial to ask yourself: are you creating for your audience or just for online validation?Let's embrace our paths and support each other in this journey!Follow James at: https://www.instagram.com/made.by.james/PRE-ORDER THE BOOK! https://themadebyjames.com/no-bs-book/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnVLO15BhaIngYxdIdbBb66uaqdwDQtS8sg7px_flnp-sMePqGLPD1je9GGw8_aem_sfX7vC3e6ujgMXlek5ujmA

Catholics have been thinking about vocations for a long time—and not only in terms of becoming a priest or member of a religious order. The Church teaches that every person is called by God to do something particular, to play some unique role in the ongoing creation and salvation of the world.  But what happens when our working lives don't align with our true vocations? What should we do when we find ourselves stuck doing jobs we don't like? Fr. James Martin knows something about that, having spent his teenage summers and most of his twenties doing a variety of odd jobs. It's the subject of his new book, Work in Progress: Confessions of a Busboy, Dishwasher, Caddy, Usher, Factory Worker, Bank Teller, Corporate Tool, and Priest.  On this episode, Fr. Martin joins associate editor Griffin Oleynick to speak about what that work has meant to him, and how he still draws from its lessons in humility and grace. Plus: Heidi Schlumpf reports on the latest developments in American Catholicism, including the Trump administration's conflict with the Vatican, the recent rise in Catholic conversions, and the fiftieth anniversary of the Women's Ordination Conference.  For further reading: Ryan Burge on the “great sort” in American religion Heidi Schlumpf on the Women's Ordination Conference Massimo Faggioli on “cool” Catholicism and new baptisms

He couldn't read. Couldn't write. And was told he had no chance of running a business.So he started one anyway.Decades later he runs a £30 million-plus portfolio: commercial property, a luxury wedding venue, a mastermind for business owners stuck at the two million pound mark, and a growing personal brand.In this episode of Screw It Just DO It, I sit down with James Martin to unpack the full story. From cutting grass on a mower with a swapped-out engine to walk into contracts, to buying back his own tree surgery company from a receiver for fifty grand after a corporate buyer destroyed it, to building an entire business model around neurodiverse thinkers.We talk about growing up in a pub with a dyslexia diagnosis that felt like a life sentence, why he treats his teacher's words as fuel rather than scars, how he learned to run a business without being able to read a book, and what he now tells every founder who is stuck getting out of the van.If you are building something and feel like the system was not designed for you, this one is for you.Key TakeawaysWhy being underestimated can become leverageThe role of defiance in early entrepreneurshipWhy traditional paths don't fit everyoneHow failure tolerance changes decision-making

Today on 7MS Presents: The Storytelling University, Aaron talks with Rev. James Martin, Jesuit priest, New York Times bestselling author, an editor at large at America Magazine, consultant to the Vatican's Dicastery for Communication and host of The Spiritual Life Podcast. Martin's new memoir, Work in Progress, praised by Stephen Colbert as “funny, charming, inspiring, and wise,” becomes the doorway into a deeper conversation about storytelling, faith, and the search for meaning. They explore Martin's journey from corporate America to the priesthood, sparked by a moment of unexpected clarity through the story of a Trappist monk. Along the way, this episode examines what it means to see life not just as a series of decisions, but as a story unfolding with purpose. This conversation also dives into: • How storytelling shapes belief, identity, and transformation • Why stories open minds where arguments often fail • Martin's advocacy for LGBTQ Catholics and the power of elevating lived experiences • The idea that storytelling is not just communication, but ministry The episode opens with a compelling reflection on the Resurrection, viewed not through doctrine, but through the radical transformation in the behavior of those who witnessed it. If you've ever wondered how stories influence faith, purpose, and the direction of a life, this is a conversation that stays with you.

Father James Martin had many jobs before he became a priest. In his new book “Work in Progress” he writes about how he found faith in unlikely places, the importance of kindness, and why his most important life lessons came working as a busboy.

Why do some designers build lasting careers while others fade out? In this episode of JUST Branding, we sit down with James Martin, founder of Made by James, to unpack what really sustains creative success over time and what quietly destroys it. Learn more at https://justcreative.com/podcast While many designers are chasing visibility, speed, and short-term attention, James makes the case for something deeper: reputation, craft, taste, and care. We explore why reputation is more valuable than hype, why craft still matters in a world of AI and instant design tools, and why taste remains one of the most overlooked advantages in creative work.  James also shares why motivation is unreliable, why care is a far stronger driver of long-term creative growth, and how designers can think more clearly about their role in an industry being reshaped by automation and DIY branding tools. This conversation is not just about design. It is about longevity. What makes people trust your work. What makes your work worth paying for. And what separates designers who build real careers from those who get lost chasing noise. We also get into the hidden cost of DIY branding, when founders should do it themselves versus bring in a professional, and what becomes more valuable for creatives as AI lowers the barrier to entry. If you are a designer, strategist, or founder trying to build something with depth, credibility, and staying power, this one is for you. In this episode, we discuss: • Why many designers confuse visibility with credibility • What actually builds a strong creative reputation • Whether craft is being lost in the age of speed and automation • Why taste is still a serious competitive advantage • The difference between motivation and care • The hidden cost of DIY branding • What AI makes easier, and what it can never replace A sharp, honest conversation about what still matters in creative work, and why the designers who last are rarely the ones chasing the fastest win.

The Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit author and educator, believes everyone's life is a spiritual journey. "We're all on this spiritual journey to understand ourselves, to understand how God loves us, to experience God's love and to give that love back to God and to other people," he said. Martin is the author of the new book, “Work in Progress: Confessions of a busboy, dishwasher, caddy, usher, factory worker, bank teller, corporate tool, and priest.” The book explores the many professional experiences he had before becoming a priest. Martin reflects on his early life and the formative time he spent in Connecticut, where he worked as an employee at General Electric and made a decision that would forever change the course of his life.

Déjame tu comentarioEn este episodio reflexionamos profundamente sobre la resurrección de Lázaro en el Evangelio de Juan, explorando su riqueza teológica: el misterio del tiempo de Dios, el significado de la muerte en la tradición judía y el poder de Cristo como “la resurrección y la vida”. A la luz de la enseñanza de James Martin, descubrimos que Dios nos da la vida, pero la comunidad nos ayuda a liberarnos. Además, analizamos la actualidad de la Iglesia con el llamado del papa León XIV a construir una verdadera cultura del cuidado, donde la escucha, la esperanza y la responsabilidad compartida abren caminos de sanación y renovación.Redes sociales: saulmarrerorivera (Facebook e Instagram)Correo electrónico: notasdefeyvida@gmail.comDirección postal: 189 Ave Las María, apart 305, San Juan PR, 00927-4325Música: bendsound.comSupport the show

Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history. But too many politicians would rather protect billionaires than help working families save on their bills. Real change starts when we stop allowing the ultra - rich to write our energy policy and run our government. Let's choose affordable, renewable power. Clean energy means lower costs, more freedom, and a planet that can actually breathe. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

St Luke's hospital has been used by bishops who are spiritual kinsmen to James Martin to punish conservative priests who defend Catholic morality, and Pope Leo XIV promoted a bishop who did exactly that to the archdiocese of Denver.Sponsored by Pray Latinhttps://praylatin.comSources:https://www.returntotradition.orgorhttps://substack.com/@returntotradition1Contact Me:Email: return2catholictradition@gmail.comSupport My Work:Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/AnthonyStineSubscribeStarhttps://www.subscribestar.net/return-to-traditionBuy Me A Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/AnthonyStinePhysical Mail:Anthony StinePO Box 3048Shawnee, OK74802Follow me on the following social media:https://www.facebook.com/ReturnToCatholicTradition/https://twitter.com/pontificatormax+JMJ+#popeleoXIV #catholicism #catholicchurch #catholicprophecy#infiltration

Today's guest is no stranger to the AMDG podcast. Fr. James Martin is a Jesuit priest and editor-at-large at America Media. His newest book, “Work in Progress: Confessions of a Busboy, Dishwasher, Caddy, Usher, Factory Worker, Bank Teller, Corporate Tool and Priest” is now available. In it, Fr. Martin details his own experience of summer jobs — how they shaped him, what they taught him, who crossed his path as a result of them and how he found God dwelling within them. It's a memoir that is both funny and poignant, and it's a wonderful invitation for each of us to reflect more deeply upon our own lives. You can get Fr. Martin's new book wherever books are sold, and you can read an excerpt over at America Magazine: https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2026/01/15/james-martin-lessons-from-mowing-lawns-riding-bikes-and-a-fateful-walk-to-school/ https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/jamesmartin
