We close Pride Month of 2023 with Jamie Staples talking about queer mysticism. This includes instances in medieval Christianity where an embodied and erotic experience of life, within and between persons, became the basis for an apprehension of divinity. The conversation particularly focuses on the poem “Dark Night of the Soul” by 16th century Spanish poet St. John of the Cross and the work of 14th-15th century English mystic Margery Kempe. Jamie shares his own story to show how queer mysticism can offer resources from within Christianity to build a personal and communitarian politics against fundamentalist discrimination and hatred. Starting this fall, Jamie Staples will be Visiting Assistant Professor of Medieval English literature at Trinity College in Hartford. His research takes seriously the productive intersection of mystical theology and poetry in the development of alternative modes of critical thinking in the late Middle Ages. He's recently written two articles focused more specifically on the queer mysticism that he will be discussing today, one on the fifteenth-century Book of Margery Kempe, published in Romanic Review, and the other on the fourteenth-century poem Cleanness, published in Exemplaria.

Today's guest on CPG is one of the most popular Twitch streamers in the world and PartyPoker sponsored pro Jaime Staples.As of this episode's release, Jaime has cashed for over $1.5 million in combined online & live poker tournaments with no sign of slowing down anytime soon.Today's conversation with Jaime is gonna travel to some uncomfortable territory as we have a frank discussion about invisible suffering hiding in plain sight all around us. Unfortunately, this is an area where your humble podcast host has infinitely more questions than answers, but that doesn't mean it's a topic unworthy of dragging into the light.It does beg some uncomfortable questions, though:If you catch Poker Greatness, what can you DO with it that helps alleviate the suffering of your fellow man?And what do you do if you realize that there are some problems much too big for any one person to tackle alone?Perhaps this conversation will set up a future Philosophical Friday discussion with Duncan on moving beyond a zero-sum game into the realm of * gasp*... non-zero sum games or win-wins.If this intro feels like you're getting set up for something heavy, don't worry too much… we're also gonna spend an ample amount of time diving into the wide world of everything poker.And if you happened to miss my earlier episode with Jaime or a very early episode with his brother Matt… I'd highly suggest checking out those Greatness Bomb dripping conversations as soon as you're done listening to this one.Now, without any further Ado, I bring to you one of the most thoughtful and noble poker ambassadors in the world… Jaime Staples.
Today’s guest on the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast is one of the pioneers and most recognizable faces in the world of Twitch poker streaming Jamie Staples.Jaime and his younger brother Matt (Who’s a former CPG guest) are PartyPoker sponsored pros and I wanna say a couple of things straight away:1) I had never met or interacted with Jaime in any way before he and I had this conversation.2) It became painfully obvious to me as our conversation went on as to why he has such a massive following: The man is as authentic and as genuine as it gets.He’s a man who cares about having a positive impact on the folks he crosses paths with, and wants to leave poker in a much better place than he found it.In my opinion, these are the folks we ought to be championing and supporting as much as humanly possible if we truly want poker to survive and thrive far into the future.In today’s episode, you’re going to learn:- Why you’re destined for failure if money is your sole driving force to improve at this game.- How younger brother Matt REALLY began working at Poker Staples Worldwide.- How a big public failure involving a prop bet with Bill Perkins has caused Jaime to examine the root causes of unhealthy lifestyle decisions.- And much, MUCH more!So, without any further ado, I bring to you a man after my own heart who won me over as a fan for life through a single interaction … Jaime Staples.
