Tara chats with a special guest, the prolific and award-winning Canadian author Merilyn Simonds regarding her latest book, Walking with Beth: Conversations with My 100-year-old Friend. https://merilynsimonds.com/ "In the spring of 2021, Merilyn Simonds asked her friend Beth Robinson if she'd like to go for a walk. Simonds had just turned 70, still active, still writing, but entering what struck her as a mysterious, even frightening stage of life. Beth, a smart, vibrant woman who'd held a job until she was 99, lived on her own and was as awake to the world as a person half her age. Who better to ask what might come next? During three years of weekly walks, the conversation between the two women only deepened, as they opened up about their heart-felt passions, the lingering influence of their pasts, and their hopes and fears for the future. In Walking with Beth, Simonds shares these intimate exchanges, delving into corners of older women's lives that are rarely seen or spoken about so openly. As Simonds looks forward into a future that seems unknowable, Beth looks back, offering her experience in surviving the later-life blows that batter us all, and more importantly, her wisdom about how to enrich every passing day."

In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, entrepreneur and father Mike McCarthy returns to Fatherhood Field Notes to explore the deeper mission of raising strong, capable young adults. Drawing from his lived experience as a second-generation entrepreneur and co-founder of GoBundance, Mike shares why passing down more than just financial wealth matters. He dives into the importance of instilling core values, cultivating strong moral character, and transferring all forms of capital—intellectual, relational, spiritual, and cultural—across generations. You'll hear why he believes in giving kids “flint and kindling, not the fire,” and how intentional family rhythms, estate planning, and meaningful connection prepare children to earn their legacy rather than inherit it by default. With raw insight into parenting teens, nurturing family culture, and building trust through connection over correction, this episode is a must-listen for any father committed to long-term impact and generational success.Guest Link:WebsiteLinkedInGoBundanceLinks and Resources:Transform Your Body with Ned & RUK Fitness: RUK FitnessThis episode is sponsored by The Adventure of FatherhoodOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

I was honored and proud to host yet another member of the Villanova Wildcat Crew, my friend Peter Russell. To say that Peter and I have a few things in common would be an understatement and it wouldn't do our friendship justice.  First and foremost, we both appreciate energy, and we embrace the people that exude positive energy, starting with two of the most beautiful souls in the universe, Rainer “TITAN” Jenss and Tom Staib.  God rest both of their souls.Peter shares how he became a Wildcat and what those wild days in the mid-1980's meant to him.  You'll hear Peter and I speak of characters like John Coates, Tim “Tmac” McGuire, Bill Schroeder, Andy Taccetta, Kevin Taylor, and “Miracle on the Hudson” survivor, Steve O'Brien.Then we shift to present day where Peter reveals what kind of music makes him truly feel alive, including Dave Matthews Band, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Billie Eilish, to name a few.  He reveals a band name that I had never heard before, Manchester Orchestra, and I'm so glad he did.  Check these guys out, trust me.Peter opens up about why, after 30 years, he chose to leave the world of media and launch a self-funded video-based, online mentorship platform for young adults, called Kindling https://www.gokindling.com/ He describes how Kindling helps young adults cultivate personal agency, empowering them to thrive personally and professionally.  Although the program is suited primarily for adults from 18-29, Kindling can be the spark for anyone that wants to foster change and self-improvement.Finally, Peter pays tribute to his family.  Having recently lost his ultimate mentor, his father, Jack, he shares how and why Jack's character has been a lifelong inspiration.Join us, and let's see where the energy takes us!Tight Pants SNL https://youtu.be/Nv7Ts4v5_Bs?si=1Lp1zqALTPrEj7YoAll Along the Watchtower https://youtu.be/QLvNVtTtqao?si=BtbIDTr_FxOMzFKCGod Only Knows https://music.apple.com/us/album/god-only-knows/1440850596?i=1440852180The Sunshine https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-sunshine/1440945297?i=1440945308 (edited)

This Sunday, we continued our Kindling series with a message called “Oxygen for the Flame.” Just as a flame needs air to burn, our hearts need space to encounter Jesus. We looked at the story of the Emmaus road (Luke 24:13-35) and how Jesus rekindles wonder, faith, and devotion when we slow down and make room for Him.Sent ChurchWeAreSent.church

The journey from a booming pancake empire to a new venture in protein-packed pretzels is not straightforward, but for Cameron Smith, it's a path paved with intentional growth and invaluable lessons.

In this episode, I sit down once again with author and poet Stephanie Parent to explore her haunting and deeply personal poetry collection, Cinder Girl Grows Wings. We discuss the visceral power of free verse, the symbolic structure of the collection—from Kindling to Phoenix—and how themes of girlhood, desire, BDSM, and body image are woven through her work with gothic sensitivity and raw emotional truth.Stephanie opens up about her early fascination with fairy tales, the duality of submission and autonomy, the influence of pop culture on self-perception, and the emotional complexities of working in a BDSM dungeon. We also talk about the poetic form itself—how shape and space on the page enhance meaning—and how storytelling can reclaim and reframe painful memories.This is a conversation about transformation, vulnerability, and what it means to create beauty from ashes. Stick around to hear Stephanie read her favorite poem from the collection, Wildfire.

Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, joined the podcast fresh off of a trip to Las Vegas where he attended Starbucks' Leadership Experience 2025, where 14,000 managers from the coffeehouse chain, as well as its top executives and other leaders, gathered to reinvigorate the brand, which has faced declining sales for the past year, making it an outlier in the otherwise booming coffeehouse segment. Bret shared some of Starbucks' latest operational initiatives and discussed some of the new menu items he tried, including a layered “strato” Frappuccino, and a raspberry croissant, which he said was a foreshadowing of the raspberry syrup that was being brought back this summer.Pat shared her observations of the latest trendy items of the week, including mocktails at Einstein Bros Bagels, tortilla-crusted chicken strips at Taco Bell, and a variety of new ranch dressings — both Taco Bell and Chipotle have new avocado ranch sauces — and seasonal barbecue-themed items. That led to a conversation between the two hosts about the proliferation of sauces, which are highly impactful in terms of taste and fairly easy to use operationally, both important factors in these times of expensive labor and declining traffic.Then Bret shared his interview with Jonathon Sawyer, chef of Kindling Downtown Cookout & Cocktails, a restaurant in Chicago's Willis Tower.

This episode looks at the background causes of the brutal war between the New English colonies of Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay, and Connecticut and their indigenous allies against a tribal alliance including both the Wampanoags and the Narragansetts between 1675 and 1678. King Philip's War is the most widely used name of that bloody and arguably existential war. In surveys of American history, it is often the only event between the founding of Jamestown, Plymouth, and Massachusetts Bay and the end of the 17th century that rates more than a sentence or two. This is for good reason, insofar as King Philip's War changed the trajectory of New England's history. It is thought to be the bloodiest war in American history as a proportion of the affected population. As many as 1000 colonists died, including perhaps 10 percent of the English men of military age. Three thousand Indians were killed, and as many as a thousand were sold into slavery abroad. The war altered the relationship between the European colonists and the Indians of the region to a far greater degree than the Pequot War or any of the other conflicts that had preceded it, shattered the military and cultural power of New England's most powerful indigenous nations, and so devastated the English that by some estimates per capita wealth in the region did not return to the level of 1675 until the eve of the American Revolution a century later.  The New England frontier, for better or worse, did not advance for forty years after King Philip's War. Suffice it to say, we should understand the issues that broke the long peace in the summer of 1675, almost exactly 350 years ago.

"Hu: "Gábor, mi lesz, ha nem találunk elég pénzt?En: Gábor, what if we don't find enough money?"Hu: " - kérdezte aggodalmasan.En: she asked worriedly.Hu: Az árvaház jövője bizonytalan volt, a közelgő költségvetési megszorítások miatt.En: The future of the orphanage was uncertain due to the upcoming budget cuts.Hu: Gábor azonban nem adta fel a reményt.En: Gábor, however, did not give up hope.Hu: "Megvan az ötlet.En: "I have an idea.Hu: Rendezünk egy Valentin-napi jótékonysági bált," mondta határozottan, és mosolyt csempészett arcára.En: We'll host a Valentine's Day charity ball," he said resolutely, sneaking a smile onto his face.Hu: Réka kissé szkeptikus volt, de nem akarta letörni a lelkesedését.En: Réka was somewhat skeptical, but she didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm.Hu: "Rendben, segítek," bólintott Réka.En: "Alright, I'll help," Réka nodded.Hu: "De Gábor, reálisnak kell lennünk.En: "But Gábor, we need to be realistic.Hu: Nagy feladat előtt állunk.En: We're facing a big task."Hu: "Az elkövetkező napokban az árvaház minden szegletében készültek a bálra.En: In the following days, preparations for the ball were underway in every corner of the orphanage.Hu: A gyerekek lelkesen díszítettek, miközben régi karácsonyi díszeket használták fel, hogy pénzt takarítsanak meg.En: The children enthusiastically decorated, using old Christmas decorations to save money.Hu: Gábor titokban azt is remélte, hogy a bál közelebb hozhatja őt Rékához.En: Gábor secretly hoped that the ball might bring him closer to Réka.Hu: Eljött a nagy nap.En: The big day arrived.Hu: Az árvaház híresen meleg fogadtatása most elegáns dekorációkkal várta vendégeit.En: The orphanage's famously warm welcome now awaited its guests with elegant decorations.Hu: Az est folyamán azonban a bevételek elmaradtak a várakozásoktól.En: However, throughout the evening, the revenue fell short of expectations.Hu: Réka szorongva pillantott Gáborra.En: Réka glanced anxiously at Gábor.Hu: "Mi lesz, ha nem gyűjtünk eleget?En: "What if we don't collect enough?"Hu: " - suttogta aggodalmasan.En: she whispered worriedly.Hu: Gábor mély levegőt vett, és a színpadra lépett.En: Gábor took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage.Hu: Szíve hevesen vert, de eltökéltsége erősebb volt.En: His heart was pounding, but his determination was stronger.Hu: "Kedves vendégek," kezdte, miközben a gyerekek fényképei villantak fel a háttérben.En: "Dear guests," he began as photos of the children flashed in the background.Hu: "Ez az árvaház több, mint egy otthon.En: "This orphanage is more than a home.Hu: Egy család vagyunk.En: We are a family."Hu: "A szavai megérintették a közönséget, és lassan a támogatások is elindultak.En: His words touched the audience, and slowly the support began to come in.Hu: De még mindig nem volt elég.En: But it was still not enough.Hu: Épp amikor Reménytelenül tekinteettek egymásra, egy titokzatos férfi állt fel a teremben és bejelentett egy nagy összegű adományt.En: Just as they were looking at each other hopelessly, a mysterious man stood up in the hall and announced a large donation.Hu: Az árvahát megmenekült.En: The orphanage was saved.Hu: Ahogy a bál véget ért, Réka odalépett Gáborhoz.En: As the ball came to an end, Réka approached Gábor.Hu: "Tudod," mondta mosolyogva, "én egy olyan ember vagyok, aki mindig a valóságra koncentrál.En: "You know," she said with a smile, "I'm someone who always concentrates on reality.Hu: De ma este megértettem, mennyire fontos a remény.En: But tonight, I understood how important hope is."Hu: "Gábor tekintete elmondta mindazt, amit a szavai nem tudtak volna.En: Gábor's gaze said everything his words could not.Hu: "Réka, nagyon fontos neked.En: "Réka, you are very important to me."Hu: " Réka szívében melegség áradt szét, ahogy észrevette Gábor érzéseit.En: Warmth spread in Réka's heart as she noticed Gábor's feelings.Hu: A bál estéje nem csak az árvaházat mentette meg, hanem Réka szemeit is felnyitotta Gábor iránt.En: The night of the ball not only saved the orphanage but also opened Réka's eyes to Gábor.Hu: A tél ugyan hideg maradt, de belül új lángok gyúltak, és ezek a lángok ragyogtak a jövő felé vezető úton.En: Though the winter remained cold, new flames were kindled inside, and these flames shone on the path towards the future.

The aim of self-transformation from a divided mechanical self to a unified self that is free and has will is the subject of this second talk on Gurdjieff's aphorisms. Several quotes including some which were posted in the study house where the mystic worked with students at the Prieure near Paris in the 1920s are discussed. Crystallization occurs when substances coalesce and incrementally form a durable structure or soul, as in the crystallization of rock. If anything in a man is able to resist external influences and identification with worldly matters, then this soul may be able to resist the death of the body. Nature only gives the possibility of a soul, which can only be acquired through work. One of the best means to arouse the wish to work on self is to realize that we may die at any moment, but first we must learn to keep this in mind. Super efforts should be directed by our aim. Conscience and purity of aim can guide us in the right direction. A fire in us will expire if not fed. Surrender is one path; developing will is another. All energy spent on conscious work builds spiritual capital. It is an investment that is lost forever if spent mechanically. Being, the result of unification, allows Doing, which is conscious purposeful action that differs from automatic behavior. All true Doing is alignment with the Will of God and is service to humanity and creation. If we wish, we can. Wish is the most powerful thing in the world. It is something to contemplate, sit with, internalize, and make our own. To remember is to put oneself back together. I do not remember myself; I AM, my true self, remembers. Carl Grimsman was born into the Gurdjieff Work environment. He attended a children's group and later worked with Mrs. March, a direct student of Gurdjieff at East Hill Farm in New York. The first two books in his “Soul's Traverse Series” are Sun Bridge and The Kindling.
