Podcasts about labels

“That is no life for these birds and it is definitely not what the consumer is thinking or assuming. When they see these nice labels and they think, ‘oh, I'm paying so much more for this, that change must be going for the animals, right?' No, it's lining the pockets and it's keeping that status quo of that factory farm going.” Amber Canavan   Most of us want to make choices that are kinder—to animals, to the planet, to ourselves. But in today's food system, kindness is often buried under labels like “cage free,” “humane certified,” or even “climate-friendly beef.” These terms are designed to make us feel good, but as PETA's Amber Canavan reveals, they hide the same suffering and environmental destruction. For more than a decade, Amber has led campaigns that expose this “humane washing” and push companies—from Starbucks to Whole Foods—to do better. This conversation is about pulling back the curtain on the myths we've been sold, and about the power each of us has to choose differently. One of the simplest, most impactful ways to take action is with what's on our plate. That's why, this October, we're inviting you to join Species Unite's Plant-Powered Challenge—a 30-day adventure to try delicious, cruelty-free food, reduce your climate footprint, and stand with the animals. Because real change doesn't come from labels. It comes from us.

Special Guest Willie Blake   https://coachwillieblake.com/freegift   In this episode of Profits Unleashed, I dive into a conversation that hits close to home for so many of us: the belief that we're “behind.” My guest, Coach Willie Blake—a dyslexic career and high-performance coach—shares his journey of transforming self-doubt into confidence and clarity, and why it's never too late to start. His story is proof that progress doesn't come from comparing yourself to others—it comes from taking small, consistent steps toward your goals. Key Takeaways I want you to hear today: You're not behind—you simply haven't started yet. Labels don't define you. You're not “lazy” or “a procrastinator”; you just have habits you can shift. Small daily action compounds. Willie's “2% Rule” shows how steady progress leads to extraordinary change. Clarity is essential. His GPS Method (Get clarity, Plan it, Start now) is a simple framework to break down any big goal. Flexibility in the journey matters more than rigid control—hold onto the vision, but stay open to how you get there. Willie's personal story is inspiring. Diagnosed with dyslexia in first grade, he spent years feeling “behind” his peers. Instead of giving up, he reframed his challenges into fuel for growth. By leaning into tools like audiobooks and coaching, he went from struggling to read a single book to consistently absorbing 60 books a year. That shift didn't just expand his knowledge—it helped him step into his calling as a coach who empowers neurodivergent entrepreneurs and professionals to see their unique edge as an advantage. What stood out to me most is Willie's perspective on labels. When we say “I am this,” we box ourselves in. But when we shift to “I have this,” we reclaim power. That subtle language shift opens the door for growth, self-compassion, and change. If you've ever felt stuck, compared yourself to others, or believed you were too far behind to start—this conversation is for you. You can connect with Willie at coachwillieblake.com, where he shares resources, coaching opportunities, and his podcast. And stay tuned—after the break, I'll be debunking the myth that it's too late to start your own podcast. Spoiler: it's not. YouTube – Dyslexic Achievers Hub https://www.youtube.com/@DyslexicAchieversHub   LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/willieblake-light/   Community (Skool) https://coachwillieblake.com/community   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/willieblake_light/   Facebook (Personal Profile) https://www.facebook.com/WillieBlake.Light/   YouTube – Coach Willie Blake https://www.youtube.com/@WillieBlake_Light So many people believe the myth that it's too late to start a podcast. After listening to my conversation with Coach Willie Blake, I couldn't help but notice how often we fall into the trap of thinking we're behind just because we compare ourselves to those further along. And the truth? You're not behind—you simply haven't started yet. Key Takeaways from this episode: It's not too late to start a podcast—there's more room than you think. Over 80% of podcasts are inactive, meaning consistency is your greatest advantage. Most podcasters quit too soon; those who keep going quickly stand out. Listeners crave authenticity and niche voices, not just celebrity shows. Your story matters—the people who need it are still waiting to hear it. Here's the reality: there are around 5 million podcasts worldwide, but fewer than 20% are actively producing new episodes. That means the space isn't oversaturated—it's full of abandoned shows. Consistency, not timing, is what separates the ones that thrive from the ones that disappear. I've said this before and I'll say it again: 90% of podcasts don't make it past three episodes, and of the ones that do, most never get past 20. That's not discouraging—it's an opportunity. If you commit to showing up, you're already ahead of the majority. Podcasting is still growing, audiences are expanding, and new listeners are tuning in every day. They're not just searching for big names; they're searching for voices that resonate with their unique struggles, interests, and goals. That could be you. Just like Willie's story reminded us, your challenges don't disqualify you—they can become your strength. Whether you're navigating dyslexia, ADHD, or simply the doubts that whisper “you're too late,” the moment you start and stay consistent, you've already set yourself apart. I'm grateful every day that I kept going, that I didn't stop when it felt tough, and that I get to share this platform with you. Your story deserves to be heard, and the world is waiting for it. If you're ready to finally start, head over to podcastprofitsunleashed.com and book a call. Let's get your voice out there.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I, Stewart Alsop, sit down with Sweetman, the developer behind on-chain music and co-founder of Recoup. We talk about how musicians in 2025 are coining their content on Base and Zora, earning through Farcaster collectibles, Sound drops, and live shows, while AI agents are reshaping management, discovery, and creative workflows across music and art. The conversation also stretches into Spotify's AI push, the “dead internet theory,” synthetic hierarchies, and how creators can avoid future shock by experimenting with new tools. You can follow Sweetman on Twitter, Farcaster, Instagram, and try Recoup at chat.recoupable.com.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces Sweetman to talk about on-chain music in 2025.05:00 Coins, Base, Zora, Farcaster, collectibles, Sound, and live shows emerge as key revenue streams for musicians.10:00 Streaming shifts into marketing while AI music quietly fills shops and feeds, sparking talk of the dead internet theory.15:00 Sweetman ties IoT growth and shrinking human birthrates to synthetic consumption, urging builders to plug into AI agents.20:00 Conversation turns to synthetic hierarchies, biological analogies, and defining what an AI agent truly is.25:00 Sweetman demos Recoup: model switching with Vercel AI SDK, Spotify API integration, and building artist knowledge bases.30:00 Tool chains, knowledge storage on Base and Arweave, and expanding into YouTube and TikTok management for labels.35:00 AI elements streamline UI, Sam Altman's philosophy on building with evolving models sparks a strategy discussion.40:00 Stewart reflects on the return of Renaissance humans, orchestration of machine intelligence, and prediction markets.45:00 Sweetman weighs orchestration trade-offs, cost of Claude vs GPT-5, and boutique services over winner-take-all markets.50:00 Parasocial relationships with models, GPT psychosis, and the emotional shock of AI's rapid changes.55:00 Future shock explored through Sweetman's reaction to Cursor, ending with resilience and leaning into experimentation.Key InsightsOn-chain music monetization is diversifying. Sweetman describes how musicians in 2025 use coins, collectibles, and platforms like Base, Zora, Farcaster, and Sound to directly earn from their audiences. Streaming has become more about visibility and marketing, while real revenue comes from tokenized content, auctions, and live shows.AI agents are replacing traditional managers. By consuming data from APIs like Spotify, Instagram, and TikTok, agents can segment audiences, recommend collaborations, and plan tours. What once cost thousands in management fees is now automated, providing musicians with powerful tools at a fraction of the price.Platforms are moving to replace artists. Spotify and other major players are experimenting with AI-generated music, effectively cutting human musicians further out of the revenue loop. This shift reinforces the importance of artists leaning into blockchain monetization and building direct relationships with fans.The “dead internet theory” reframes the future. Sweetman connects IoT expansion and declining birth rates to a world where AI, not humans, will make most online purchases and content. The lesson: build products that are easy for AI agents to buy, consume, and amplify, since they may soon outnumber human users.Synthetic hierarchies mirror biological ones. Stewart introduces the idea that just as cells operate autonomously within the body, billions of AI agents will increasingly act as intermediaries in human creativity and commerce. This frames AI as part of a broader continuity of hierarchical systems in nature and society.Recoup showcases orchestration in practice. Sweetman explains how Recoup integrates Vercel AI SDK, Spotify APIs, and multi-model tool chains to build knowledge bases for artists. By storing profiles on Base and Arweave, Recoup not only manages social media but also automates content optimization, giving musicians leverage once reserved for labels.Future shock is both risk and opportunity. Sweetman shares his initial rejection of AI coding tools as a threat to his identity, only to later embrace them as collaborators. The conversation closes with a call for resilience: experiment with new systems, adapt quickly, and avoid becoming a Luddite in an accelerating digital age.

In a culture steeped in outrage, vengeance, and blame, the way of Jesus is radically different. Romans 12:21 calls us to overcome evil, not by returning it, but by confronting it with goodness. Jesus didn't respond to betrayal with bitterness. He didn't meet violence with retaliation. He loved His enemies, prayed for His persecutors, and forgave those who didn't even ask. That's not weakness. It's power under control. So how do we live that way in a broken world? We grieve with hope instead of fear. We repent and realign when our hearts drift. And we choose to meet hatred with compassion, injustice with mercy, and sin with truth and grace. Because if we're going to reflect Jesus, we have to see lives, not labels. And we have to stop mirroring the culture and start revealing the Kingdom.

"Overcome: Stop Wearing Labels That Aren'tTrue"

Modern medicine has given us incredible tools to peer inside the body and spot disease earlier than ever before. But with that power comes a problem: the more we look, the more we find — and not everything we find needs fixing.My guest today, neurologist Dr. Suzanne O'Sullivan, argues that our culture of over-diagnosis is leaving many people more anxious, more medicalized, and sometimes less healthy. In her book The Age of Diagnosis: How Our Obsession with Medical Labels Is Making Us Sicker, she explains how screening tests, shifting definitions of “normal,” and the rise of mental health labels can turn ordinary struggles or idiosyncrasies into problems in need of treatment. We dig into everything from cancer and diabetes to Lyme disease and ADHD and discuss how diagnosis really works, why screening can sometimes harm as much as it helps, and how to know when a label is and isn't useful.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Heather McKean and Kent McKean dive into the explosive rise in autism and other neurodivergences—not to assign blame or “cure” identity, but to ask better questions about what today's physical, emotional, and cultural environments are doing to developing brains. They unpack historical data, presentism, and labels; reframe “maladaptive” patterns as survival adaptations (and sometimes superpowers); and outline a Mind Change path focused on nervous-system safety, subconscious rewiring, and family-wide healing—keeping uniqueness while relieving unnecessary suffering. What we covered in this episode:

We spend so much of our lives tied to past experiences and labels, and it can feel like we are stuck there. But you can make the choice at any moment to step into a new direction. It all starts with a decision.This is not about mantras or forcing yourself into routines. It is about trusting yourself to take the first step, even when you do not have all the answers. That first step might work out, it might not, but either way you learn and move forward. Everyone is figuring things out as they go, and you are no different. The question is whether you will trust yourself to decide or continue letting others decide for you.Yes, it will be uncomfortable. Growth always is. But staying under the pressure of other people's labels is even heavier. You already know what your first step is, it is just a matter of whether you will give yourself permission to take it.So if you do not like your situation, if you do not like how you are being perceived, change it. Do not let others dictate who you are or what you are capable of. Their opinions are often rooted in criticism because it is easier to tear someone else down than to build themselves up. Your power comes from choosing to trust yourself and moving forward one step at a time.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Transforming Alcohol Recovery with the Sinclair Method: A Conversation with Katie LainIn this episode of the Samantha Parker Show, Samantha sits down with Katie Lain, founder of Thrive Alcohol Recovery, to discuss her decade-long struggle with alcohol and how discovering the neuroscience-based Sinclair Method transformed her life. Katie shares her journey from binge drinking to becoming an advocate for medication-assisted treatment and the Sinclair Method, which uses Naltrexone to help reduce alcohol cravings and promote controlled drinking. The episode covers the brain science behind alcohol addiction, the inefficacy of many traditional abstinence-based treatments, and how Katie turned her recovery into a mission-driven business. They also discuss the importance of finding the right treatment, whether it's AA, the Sinclair Method, or another path, and emphasize the need for individual motivation and gradual lifestyle changes for sustainable recovery.00:00 Introduction to the Samantha Parker Show00:21 Katie Lane's Journey with Alcohol01:03 Discovering the Sinclair Method03:37 How the Sinclair Method Works06:10 Effectiveness and Challenges of the Sinclair Method19:20 The Role of Faith and Purpose in Recovery21:08 Life After Alcohol25:26 Hangover Struggles and Daily Challenges25:46 Inspiration Behind Thrive Alcohol Recovery26:20 Documenting the Journey on YouTube26:47 The Evolution of Thrive Alcohol Recovery28:08 Stigma and Labels in Alcohol Recovery30:28 Exploring Different Recovery Options31:36 The Role of Community and Support34:50 Changing Drinking Trends Among Youth36:50 Rapid Fire Questions and Personal Insights42:17 Encouragement and Resources for RecoveryStep into Your Sober Era!

I started off doing a reading from my latest article at BISH about the difference between a kink and a fetish. You can read that here https://www.bishuk.com/your-questions/whats-the-difference-between-a-kink-and-a-fetish/ Then I went off on one talking about how an ethical fetishist (which many of us probably are) is probably doing something more consensual than most of the other kinds of fetishisations we may take part in in our daily lives. Commodities, labels, and ourselves. All of which might amount to us being little capitalists, micro-fascisms. Jeremy Gilbert wrote a piece about his book here https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/common-ground/ Here's that paper on infantilisation and becoming-child https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00131857.2022.2128759#d1e417 Here's my stream with Sinan https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2554705347

Why Mia no longer sees her health through the “Lyme” label - and how shifting focus to symptom-by-symptom resolution changed everything.In this part two of our conversation with Mia, we unpack her experience with a “Lyme disease” diagnosis through the lens of GNM - and her resolution of the symptoms once linked to that label. Alongside resolving multiple anaphylactic allergies (see episode 38), Mia untangled the conflicts behind her Lyme symptoms, stepped out of the illness identity, and was able to get her life back. We explore how broad, catch-all diagnoses can obscure the real biological programs at play, why in GNM we look at symptoms individually rather than through diagnosis labels, and how labels can become woven into our self-identity. Mia also shares how GNM has transformed her parenting, her child's health, and offers advice for integrating this paradigm into family life.Find us on Instagram:Ashlee -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@alchemywithashlee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Abigail -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@ajpuccioni⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our personal websites:Ashlee -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠alchemywithashlee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Abigail - abigailpuccioni.comWhere to find MiaInstagram - ⁠@mialeesloIf you would like to submit a question or comment about the podcast, please reach out to us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠freedomfromfearpod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

She discusses how this personal encounter with skiing anxiety helped shape her character development and contributed to the book's exploration of mental health in sports. As a mother of two young children just beginning their skiing journey at Berkshire East, Megan offers insights into balancing family life with creative pursuits and the delicate art of encouraging children in sports while respecting their boundaries.

Google is officially debunking a series of reports that claimed Gmail has been hit with a "major" security issue in recent days. "We want to reassure our users that Gmail's protections are strong and effective," the company said in a somewhat unusual statement. "Several inaccurate claims surfaced recently that incorrectly stated that we issued a broad warning to all Gmail users about a major Gmail security issue. This is entirely false." Also, major social media platforms in China have started rolling out labels for AI-generated content to comply with a law that took effect on Monday. Users of the likes of WeChat, Douyin, Weibo and RedNote are now seeing such labels on posts. And, following news that Escape from Tarkov is escaping its perpetual beta, the pioneering extraction shooter is also about to make its debut on Steam. Nikita Buyanov, head of the Battlestate Games studio that developed Escape from Tarkov, confirmed on X that the game's Steam page "will be available soon," only teasing that the full details will come later.

Elsewhere Donald Trump has threatened the billionaire financier, George Soros, with an indictment for racketeering.

In the digital age, it's critical to craft communication that fits the context.Like it or not, algorithms now decide whose messages get heard. “If you want to communicate effectively,” says Adam Aleksic, “you need to be exactly aware of what that medium is doing.”Aleksic is a linguist, author, and educational content creator with millions of followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. His latest book, Algospeak: How Social Media Is Transforming the Future of Language, explores how the platforms we use create new contexts that require new ways of communicating. “Every medium uniquely affects how we communicate, and we adapt our speech to these media,” he says. In the same way that we tailor communication for the contexts of the office, the gym, or the bar, digital platforms — and the algorithms that drive them — require the same contextualized communication. “You have to appeal to [the] algorithm,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Aleksic and host Matt Abrahams examine how words are born, change meaning, and spread in the digital age. Their conversation highlights practical ways to be more intentional with the words we choose by considering the medium, understanding the context, and adapting communication accordingly.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Adam AleksicAdam's Book: AlgospeakEp.91 Um, Like, So: How Filler Words Can Create More Connected, Effective Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:21) - Language, Labels, & Identity (04:40) - What Is Algospeak?

It's a pleasure to share a conversation with Ani Lodro Palmo, an ordained Tibetan Buddhist nun and Director of the Vajra Vidya Monastery in Crestone, Colorado; and a spiritual teacher and author with more than three decades of monastic experience. Ani has devoted her life to spiritual practice and shares her understanding of the Dharma as an author of the books, All That Appears & Exists: The Buddha's Teachings to Awaken the Heart and Turn Suffering Into Joy and her most recent, The End of Suffering: Finding Love, Self-Compassion, and Awakening in a Chaotic World. As a recognized teacher of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and meditation, Ani Lodro's insights are deeply rooted in the unbroken lineage of Buddhist wisdom, through the Karma Kagyu lineage of The Venerable Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche. Although Ani has decades of monastic experience within Tibetan Buddhism, she teaches how the frustrations and dissatisfaction of our everyday lives can be understood and transcended through wisdom and compassion. She writes and speaks in an accessible way, with the gentle encouragement of a friend that is helpful to both new seekers and seasoned practitioners alike. Her teachings are available through retreats, online sessions, and publications. In the conversation we talked about a wide range things, including: How we tend to misunderstanding what suffering is. Gurus and reincarnation as a part of Tibetan Buddhism, but not a necessary part. The Four Noble Truths as a path to awakening. Taking the mystique from karma, as Ani writes: "transforming [it] from an enigmatic doctrine into a practical guide for conscious existence…. rooted in intention and behavior." Her teaching of the "7 Simple Truths to End Suffering": (1) Thoughts are nothing, they are no things; (2) Labels and thoughts create our reality; (3) When we look for our thoughts, they aren't there; (4) Your beliefs are not truth; (5) Dropping attachments is the fastest way to end suffering; (6)You can't focus on helping others and be miserable at the same time; (7) You don't need your mind (as much as you think). ... And much more. I know you will enjoy Ani Lodro's easy and relatable style of teaching and be inspired by what she has to say.   Learn more about Ani Lodro Palmo: https://www.anilodroretreats.com/   Vajra Vidya Monsastery: https://vajravidya.com/   Buy her books The End of Suffering:  The End of Suffering All That Appears & Exists: All That Appears & Exists Journey Into Peace: Timeless Tales of Zen Buddhism: Journey Into Peace   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@anilodroretreats     Become a patron to support this podcast and get special member benefits, including a membership community, a virtual sangha, and a subscription to my Everyday Buddhism Substack:https://www.patreon.com/EverydayBuddhism     Check out my Substack for ongoing chapter releases of my new serial book, Living Life As It Is and the podcast, Words From My Teachers: https://wendyshinyohaylett.substack.com/   If this podcast has helped you understand Buddhism or help in your everyday life, consider making a one-time donation here: https://donorbox.org/podcast-donations   Support the podcast through the affiliate link to buy the book, Everyday Buddhism: Real-Life Buddhist Teachings & Practices for Real Change: Buy the book, Everyday Buddhism   Support the podcast and show your support through the purchase of Everyday Buddhism merch: https://www.zazzle.com/store/everyday_buddhism   NOTE: Free shipping on ALL (unlimited) items (Everyday Buddhism merch or gifts from other stores) if you join Zazzle Plus for $19.95/year: https://www.zazzle.com/zazzleplus
