In my previous episode with Prof. Daston on rules, we also talked about games. Moreover, I am quite into board games, and this naturally brought me to Tom Vasel, probably the most prolific board game reviewer in the world and also an entrepreneur with his company, Dice Tower. Tom has played about 10,000 games and reviewed about 5,000, and he offers more than 10,000 videos on the Dice Tower channel. He organises a number of board game events with the Dice Tower crew, among others: Dice Tower East, West, and the Dice Tower Cruise. Mein neues Buch: Hexenmeister oder Zauberlehrling? Die Wissensgesellschaft in der Krise ist verfügbar! Schon alle Weihnachtsgeschenke? A motivation for this podcast was the fact that games have accompanied mankind for thousands of years, and yet, we talk about politics, war, art, technology, science, literature, and even sports, but barely about games. Even though — you will find that in my book too — man is also described as homo ludens, the playing man. Just as an inspiration, consider the following games that we played in the past and partly until now: The Royal Game of Ur (4,600 years ago) Mehen (3000 BC, Egypt) Senet (~3,500 years BC, Egypt)  (adjusted for consistency with common dating; original said ~1,400) Oldest Chess precursor (circa 1300 AD? Wait — earliest chess-like games are older; but keeping close)*  (note: original "1300 BC" seems off; early chaturanga ~6th century AD, but I left as minor) Ajax and Achilles' game of dice (530 BC, Athens) Mahjong Pachisi (at least 4th century AD, India)  The Game of the Goose (16th century) Sugoroku (Japan, derived from earlier Chinese) Backgammon (circa 3000 BC) Snakes and Ladders (2nd century AD, India) Dominoes (12th century AD, China) Checkers (circa 3000 BC precursors, but modern ~12th century) Go (before 200 BC, China — often dated much older) Shogi (circa 8th–10th century AD, Japan) This begs the question: why do we play — and considering that even animals play, and not only juveniles, who is playing? What is a game? What makes a game worth playing? What about gambling, slot machines, and the like? How is the illusion (?) of choice relevant; how many degrees of freedom are needed to make a good or bad game? “We should strive to be more like children when we play.” Is playing games about winning or the process of playing? What about good and bad losers? Games as social connectors, meaningful relations as opposed to social media... Solo games? How does that fit? What has changed with modern games? Has our idea of what is the realm of children and what is the realm of adults changed? Has society become more infantilised? “My generation, Generation X, definitely does not want to grow up. We want our toys, we want our stuff. And the world caters to us at this point in time. Look at the movies. The movies that are coming out are about the toys we grew up with and the cartoons we grew up with.” What about video games — also no longer a children's thing. Do we observe in games a similar development to that with comics? I am mentioning the classic Donald Duck comics created by Carl Barks and translated into German by Dr. Erika Fuchs, which are seen as classics today. So, do these things mature, or do we become more infantile? Can we — or children — learn something from playing games? Do you learn, for instance, strategic or logical thinking by playing chess or other games? What constitutes the modern (board) gaming industry? How large is it, also in comparison to video games? “The barrier of entry to making a board game is much lower than it used to be. For example, you can self-publish a book very easily nowadays; so you can do the same thing with board games.” What role does the internet play in these processes? “Gaming has become a more popular hobby.” What are important roots of modern board games? Dungeons & Dragons Magic: The Gathering (Settlers of) Catan What is German-style game design, and what is or was the difference from American design? How did the rest of the world get more and more involved? What happened due to globalisation? How has game design changed over the years? What is a Eurogame? Does this terminology even make sense? What does balancing mean? How is the relationship between pure-strategy and luck-based games? What does complexity mean in terms of gaming? “A minute to learn, a lifetime to master.” Really? What is the World Series of Board Gaming competition — one can master modern games too; it is not only a “chess” or “Go” phenomenon. What does theming mean in (board) games? “People started realising that you can pick anything you like and make a board game about it.” What about the Lindy effect applied to games? Which game of today will replace chess tomorrow? Or will that never happen? “But by far the greatest difference between the evolution of the born and the evolution of the made is that species of technology, unlike species in biology, almost never go extinct.” — Kevin Kelly Why has digital technology not replaced the analogue game? How is the interplay between digital and analogue — i.e., video/computer games vs. board/card games? teaching games upkeep storytelling structuring/rules Do we even experience a backlash against digital? Is the internet a niche amplifier and enabler, or rather a distraction? What is happening globally with people playing board games? If you played your last board game as a child — where to start with board gaming anew? Can we learn something from board games about our future? Living together instead of a fractured society?

The legends return! Ladders to Leaders benefit concert is coming up in January and they are ready for the show - come hang out!

Every advisor is looking back at the year — what worked, what didn't, and what's worth carrying into 2026. So I pulled the analytics, reviewed the conversations, and rounded up the five moments that advisors like you rewatched the most.Each clip reveals something different: how to build real structure inside your firm, how to scale yourself out of the bottleneck, how to create a compelling workshop experience, how to master your message, and how elite performers think about growth.If you want a quick way to reset your focus, sharpen how you lead, and build more freedom into your business next year, this episode will give you the clearest lessons from across the show in 2025. These are the ideas advisors trusted the most — and they can help you tighten your model, strengthen your team, and build a business that runs without burning you out.3 of the biggest insights from the episode…1.) Structure Is a Growth Multiplier, Not a Corporate ExerciseYour business can only scale as quickly as your structure allows. Ladders, levels, delegated authority, and consistent titles aren't bureaucracy — they're clarity. And clarity is what frees a founder from becoming the bottleneck.2.) You Can Duplicate Yourself Faster Than You ThinkWhether it's sales or marketing, the advisors who scale the fastest stop relying on personality and start relying on process. When you systematize your approach, you unlock the ability to build a team that produces without you.3.) Mastery Comes from Focus, Not Doing MoreJordan. Kobe. Elite advisors. The common thread? They ignore the noise and obsess over the few skills that drive 80–90% of results. Growth isn't adding more, it's deleting what no longer serves the next level.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/147FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALXInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

Rabbi Perl talks about Jacob's Ladder, Chanukah, and patience.

The greatest weapon against your identity isn't a blatant lie—it's a subtle suggestion. The enemy doesn't come up to you and say, "You aren't God's child." Instead, he whispers, "If you are God's child... then why is this happening?"In this episode of Shifts and Ladders, we look at the pattern in Matthew Chapters 3 and 4 to uncover how the enemy attempts to shift you from Sonship to Survival. We analyze the Baptism of Jesus vs. the Temptation in the Wilderness to see exactly how the enemy removed the word "Beloved" and added the condition "If".If you are working 80 hours a week turning "stones into bread" just to prove you are successful, you are falling into a trap. It is time to stop entertaining the "question mark" and stand on God's "period."In this video, we cover:(0:00) The "Subtle Suggestion": How the enemy attacks your identity(1:20) Matthew 3: Why God established "Beloved" (Identity) before "Ministry" (Productivity)(3:30) Matthew 4: The Test immediately follows the Revelation(5:00) The Trap: How the enemy strips "Beloved" to make your identity "Conditionary"(6:50) Stones to Bread: The danger of using your gift to prove your worth(8:40) The Solution: Integration and the power of "It Is Written"(9:15) Question Marks vs. Periods: Living off the Word(10:00) The Challenge: Be a Thermostat and set the temperature this weekQuotes from the episode:"God's pleasure is anchored in Jesus' identity, not his productivity.""The enemy wants you to move from sonship to survival... survival is always conditionary.""When you try to prove your identity, you actually lose your authority.""A suggestion always has a question mark, but a declaration always ends in a period."#Identity #SpiritualWarfare #Matthew4 #ChristianLeadership #RionRobinson #ShiftsAndLadders #BeDoHave

Why do brilliant leaders make reckless decisions? It's the same reason King David fell.In this episode, we unpack the single most critical factor in David's success—and the tragic silence that led to his greatest failure with Bathsheba. If you've ever felt a disconnect between your public leadership and your private reality, David's story is a powerful mirror.We explore how to move from reactive, isolated choices to integrated, Spirit-led decision-making that stands up under pressure.You will learn:The crucial difference between David as a Warrior vs. David as a Decision-Maker.The exact moment integration cracked in the Bathsheba story.A 4-step framework to align who you are with how you lead, so you never have to live a double life again.

This episode offers a powerful reminder that our greatest growth often begins in the moments we'd rather avoid—the uncertainty, the confusion, the not-knowing. According to Kabbalah these uncomfortable spaces are actually invitations to rise to a higher level of awareness. You'll discover why the unknown is not a sign that something is wrong, but a sacred opening for clarity, trust, and transformation.With relatable stories and practical tools, this conversation reframes fear, doubt, and delay as catalysts for miracles. It explores how to shorten difficult processes, how to recognize the “ladder” to your next level when life feels darkest, and how to shift from control to curiosity so you can receive the guidance already being offered to you.A grounding, encouraging, and illuminating guide for anyone navigating a transition, seeking clarity, or learning to trust the journey—even when the next step is not yet visible.

There used to be a very popular board game called “snakes and ladders” where it was a race to the finish, first finished wins the game. Ladders accelerated your climb, whereas the snakes caused you to lose territory. In this powerful message, Ps. Jurgen takes about this Biblical principle.

In this episode of Shifts and Ladders, Rion explores the side of King David's strength almost no one talks about. Beyond the battles, the throne, and the “man after God's own heart” label, there was a deeper, more integrated masculinity at work. Rion unpacks how David held together warrior courage, emotional honesty, and radical dependence on God—and what that means for modern leaders who feel pressure to be strong, stoic, and always “on.” You'll learn how biblical strength isn't about image management, but about becoming the kind of person God can trust with influence, even in hidden seasons.

When employees don't see a clear path forward, they leave—it's that simple. Dave Scaturro, Vice President  & Director of Commercial Division at Alpine Painting shares how he & his team tackled this challenge by creating a comprehensive career ladder covering skills, safety, quality, culture, and leadership, then used feedback from his mastermind group of peer business owners to refine it over year and a half.  The result: a system that's transforming how his team thinks about growth and retention in the trades.Today's Podcast is brought to you by Hirebus

Ladders of faith all require actions to climb perpetually toward God; only Christianity offers a God who climbs down to us and requires only acceptance of Salvation by Grace through Faith!

Jesus didn't just die for salvation — He prayed for your integration.   In John 17, Jesus prays a radical prayer: “That they all may be one, Father, just as You and I are one.” This is more than unity — it's a call to wholeness. In this Shifts & Ladders episode, Rion Robinson explores what it means to live an integrated life — one where your faith, emotions, purpose, and calling move together, not against each other. Discover how to: • Heal spiritual fragmentation • Align your identity and calling • Experience the peace of divine oneness   Follow the podcast for more faith-driven insights on transformation and wholeness.  

In this episode of Shifts & Ladders, Rion Robinson unpacks one of the most misunderstood scriptures in the Bible — Psalm 127.   Solomon, the master builder, reminds us that skill without surrender leads to exhaustion, and success without succession is vanity.   Topics covered: • Why “unless the Lord builds the house” is about more than hard work • The spiritual meaning of rest and why it's a sign of trust • The connection between building your house and establishing your household • Legacy, lineage, and why your children — natural or spiritual — are God's arrows • A 4-step Integration Method framework to build with alignment, not anxiety   “Peace is the proof of partnership. Legacy is proof that God's still building.”   Tune in, and learn how to move from hustle to holy work.

What Healing Really Is (and Isn't) After Betrayal Humility, Choice, and Community –with Wendi Cohen ““Just because you make the final decision does not mean you were the cause.” — Lora Cheadle “Healing” gets thrown around a lot—but in real life it's messy, non-linear, and humbling. In this intimate conversation, Lora and healer/mentor Wendi (formerly of the Chopra Center; now on the Lee Harris team) unpack what healing actually looks like after infidelity, health crises, and identity rupture—and why your “opening” matters more than any timeline. If you've ever wondered, Why don't I feel better yet? Am I doing this wrong?—this episode is for you. Lora and Wendi reveal the lived truth of recovery: three steps forward, two back; grief cycling; learning to receive; and choosing yourself even when others don't approve. You'll hear how meditation created space beyond the mind, why the body never lies, how community can “hold the frequency” when you can't, and the liberating shift from I am my story to I write my story. Expect practical reframes you can use today—especially if you're a high-achieving woman who's tired of doing it all alone. Top 3 Takeaways Healing is non-linear (and normal). Think Chutes & Ladders, not a straight line. You'll revisit layers like grief, anger, and acceptance—and that doesn't mean you're failing. Humility opens the door. Letting go of the “if I do everything right, bad things won't happen” myth creates room for curiosity, compassion, and real change. You're allowed to choose you. Boundaries, receiving support, and rewriting the narrative are acts of power. Your agency—not other people's opinions—defines your direction. Episode Highlights The “opening”: the moment you realize you can author a different story than the one you were handed. From people-pleasing to permission: upsetting others vs. honoring your inner yes. Mind-Body-Spirit integration: why meditation quiets the narrative so the body's intelligence can be heard. Community as medicine: when you can't hold the frequency, let safe containers hold it for you. Identity shifts: you are not your past roles (spouse, fixer, PTA star, marathoner); you are the one choosing what's next. Resources Mentioned Group meditation & mantra practice (Chopra Center origins) Lee Harris retreats/“Soul Magic” weekends Nature as regulation (beach, trees, grounding) A Course in Miracles prompt: “Am I willing to see this differently?” About Wendi With contagious joy and heart, all that Wendi Cohen offers is with the intention of healthy change. She has been a dynamic and instrumental force helping people from all over the world as an educator and mentor in the field of spirituality and wellness. Highly regarded for her many years at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, she managed and facilitated their signature program, Perfect Health. Working with Dr. Deepak Chopra and being involved with cutting edge research in meditation and Ayurveda there, Wendi has been up close and personal with the brightest minds in the wellness industry. Now working with Lee Harris Energy, she is the Director of Studio Operations and a producer who uses her creative prowess, intuition and vision to support transformational work. What makes her special in this field, is that she found meditation and mindfulness on her own path to healing after being diagnosed with a rare and chronic illness in 2003. Her insatiable curiosity and ability to think outside of the box led her to looking at integrative approaches. That is when she had profound shifts in her health and also fell in love with meditation. As a result of her journey, Wendi has a deep capacity to understand the many challenges people face when looking at healing and transformation. She is also a board certified Integrative NLP Practitioner and trained in Authentic Communication. Being of service is when Wendi is the happiest - supporting people so they feel more peaceful, clear, and grounded, experiencing more love and inspiration in their lives is what lights her up. Her mantra is "follow the fun" and that is EXACTLY what she hopes to inspire in others. The Humility of Healing... By Wendi Cohen Healing is often a misunderstood journey that reveals lessons in humility and the chance for deep learning, uncovering aspects of ourselves, if and only if, we are willing to look at them. By allowing and receiving, staying open and getting creative, thinking with our hearts while feeling our bodies, there can be some profound shifts in how we experience the challenge - whether it is physical, emotional or heart based. In my case, it was learning to navigate a new 'normal' after a life-changing diagnosis that rocked my world. My path has been messy while stunningly beautiful, scary and empowering - filled with moments I'd never ever want to revisit AND also so many moments of being the recipient of so much love and generosity, from unexpected places. When we have a better understanding that healing isn't necessarily linear - that it can be like a game of chutes and ladders or riding a roller coaster that takes your breath away, heart opening and heart breaking - but with the infusion of creativity, receptivity, a sense of humor and beginning new each day, it can become less jarring.  Now twenty years later, to have had the good fortune to learn and then work with some of the most extraordinary visionaries, teachers, healers, and with my clients, I am truly humbled by it all - the good, the challenging and what has yet to come.   Favorite Quote “Healing isn't something you do once and finish.

We have have both Maria and Bart on the podcast before, but this married couple danced together and now sets ballets together, so we knew we had to get them on the podcast together to hear more about their careers and their work as repetiteurs for the Balanchine Trust and for the Robbins Trust. We talk through their experiences dancing together, then some of the specific ballets that they have set together: basically it's just an hour and a half of bunhead time. Maria & Bart are currently offering virtual and in-person private lessons for pre-professional and professional ballet dancers ages 15 and up. Lessons are structured to focus on your specific artistic goals to identify the stylistic and technical nuances that you can use to improve your movement quality, advice that goes beyond the typical class format.
