Learning How to Pray When You Don't Know What to SayHave you ever known that you needed to pray, but you could not find the words?Sometimes pain is too deep, pressure is too heavy, and our thoughts are too scattered to form the “perfect” prayer. But prayer does not begin with perfect words. Prayer begins when we turn our hearts toward God.In this message, Pastor Joe Moss II uses the story of King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20 to teach us what prayer really is—and what it is not. When Hezekiah received devastating news, he turned his face toward the wall, cried out to God, and wept bitterly. God responded, “I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears.”This message will help you understand:• Why you do not need impressive language to pray• How God understands your tears, silence, and groaning• Why prayer is relationship, not performance• How to pray without trying to control God• Why prayer should lead to obedience and action• How prayer becomes the first habit in the POWER framework• How to use the simple prayer framework: Recognize, Reveal, Request, and ReleaseYou may not know what to say, but you can always know where to turn.Whether you are an athlete facing pressure, a parent carrying concern, a leader feeling overwhelmed, or someone simply trying to hold life together, this message will encourage you to turn toward God honestly.Before you panic, pray.Before you perform, pray.Before you respond, pray.Before you allow a moment to become your identity, pray.God hears your prayer.God sees your tears.God understands your silence.And God is still present in the process.Join Pastor Joe Moss II and Make God Famous Church for this powerful message on learning how to pray when you do not know what to say.Main Scripture: 2 Kings 20:1–6Supporting Scriptures: Romans 8:26–27, Psalm 62:8, Matthew 6:5–13, Luke 22:39–44, Philippians 4:6–7Make God Famous ChurchFormation, not just information.We train people how to live with God every day.#MakeGodFamous #Prayer #LearningToPray #Faith #ChristianEncouragement #Hezekiah #POWERHabits #BlessBody #PastorJoeMoss #MGFC
The Good Fortune Show with Iyer Tune Into Good Fortune: Wishes, Appreciation, and the Mirror of the Universe Sugandhii Iyer explores manifestation through the Law of Attraction, explaining how wishes, appreciation, dislike, neutrality, and the mirror effect shape what people continue to experience and attract. Tuning Into the Frequency of Good Fortune In this episode of The Good Fortune Show, Sugandhii Iyer frames manifestation as a process of “tuning” into energy, much like tuning a radio or television to a chosen station. She explains that the universe offers many possible energies and experiences, and that people use free will to tune into what they want, what they appreciate, or what they repeatedly focus on. The corrected transcript notes that the spiritual and manifestation teachings are preserved as the host's perspective, with no outside fact-checking or independent verification performed. Free Will, Choice, and the Crossroads Sugandhii emphasizes that life is not simply fatalistic. Rather than saying everything is fixed by fate, she suggests that people may have tuned into certain patterns for a long time and then mistaken the results for destiny. She contrasts her own earlier life, where she says she was born into a loving family and good circumstances without consciously using the Law of Attraction, with her present ability to make more intentional choices. She describes this as standing at a crossroads, where contrast helps reveal which path feels better and which choices should be left behind. The Four Energetic Forces: Wish, Appreciation, Dislike, and Mirror Effect The central teaching of the episode is built around four concepts: wish, appreciation, dislike, and the mirror effect. A wish is something a person wants or asks for. Appreciation is the joyful recognition of something beautiful, pleasing, delicious, attractive, or enjoyable. Dislike is the emotional reaction to something unwanted. The mirror effect, as Sugandhii explains it, is the universe reflecting back the dominant feeling or vibration a person sends out, whether that feeling is appreciation or aversion. Aladdin, the Genie, and Unlimited Wishes Sugandhii uses the story of Aladdin and the magic lamp, especially as discussed in The Secret, to explain how she understands the universe's response to desire. In this metaphor, Aladdin represents the person making the request, the genie represents the universe or the Law of Attraction, and the phrase “your wish is my command” becomes a symbol of how thoughts, words, and actions are answered. Sugandhii stresses that, in the version she references, there is no limit to the number of wishes. Life, in her view, is not restricted to three chances; people can continue asking, choosing, and creating. Wishing Lightly Versus Wanting From Lack A key refinement in Sugandhii's teaching is the difference between asking lightly and wanting desperately. She says a wish should not be loaded with heavy emotion, desperation, or the feeling of not having. For example, if someone sees beautiful curtains and simply wishes for them, the universe can respond to that request. But if the person focuses on never having enough money, never being able to buy good curtains, or feeling deprived, then the stronger vibration becomes lack rather than desire. In that case, she says the universe mirrors back more experiences of not having. Appreciation as a Creative Power Sugandhii spends much of the episode explaining appreciation as one of the most powerful and enjoyable ways to create. When people admire beautiful trees, handsome men, beautiful women, artwork, delicious food, clean malls, luxury hotels, impressive architecture, tunnels, scenery, clothing, fashion, family time, or even a good meal, they generate feelings of happiness and enjoyment. Sugandhii teaches that the universe registers those feelings and reflects back more reasons to feel appreciation. She encourages listeners to actively notice things they like because the energy of liking can grow stronger the more it is practiced. The Dislike Effect and Why Neutrality Matters Sugandhii also warns that dislike can become creative in the same way appreciation can. She repeatedly uses traffic as an example, saying that the more she dislikes dangerous or chaotic traffic, the more the universe reflects back reasons to keep disliking it. Because jumping directly from dislike to positivity can be difficult, she recommends first moving into neutrality. Becoming neutral, in her view, interrupts the strong emotional charge of aversion and makes it easier to climb toward appreciation or a better-feeling focus. Learning How the Universe “Receives” Feelings The episode repeatedly compares the Law of Attraction to an impartial force like gravity. Sugandhii says the universe does not judge whether someone “should” want something or “should” dislike something. It simply responds to the strongest vibration being sent out. She urges listeners to understand how the “equipment” works: thoughts, words, actions, likes, dislikes, appreciation, lack, and aversion all communicate something to the universe. The practical challenge, then, is learning to send the signal one actually wants reflected back. Choosing What to Like Toward the end of the episode, Sugandhii encourages listeners to deliberately increase the number of things they like. She gives examples from food, fashion, scenery, travel, family time, hotels, restaurants, shiny clothes, rhinestones, eyelashes, burgers, pizza, pasta, Indian food, Mexican food, vegetables, drinks, ice cream, and beautiful places to visit. Her point is not that everyone must like the same things, but that the world contains countless opportunities for appreciation. By filling the system with more “like energy,” she says people invite the universe to bring them more experiences they can enjoy. Contrast, Privilege, and Personal Choice Sugandhii acknowledges contrast in the world, including poverty, war zones, homelessness, and great wealth existing at the same time. She uses these contrasts to argue that people should choose which side of experience they want to tune into, while being careful not to over-identify with suffering in a way that creates more reasons to feel sorrow or lack. She presents compassion as valuable, but cautions that too much emotional focus on suffering can cause the universe to reflect back more opportunities for compassion through hardship. Closing Invitation to Look for More to Appreciate Sugandhii closes by telling listeners to look for more things they can like and appreciate throughout the coming week. Her final message is that people can tune themselves toward good fortune by noticing what they enjoy, moving away from unnecessary dislike, becoming neutral when positivity feels unreachable, and filling their lives with more appreciation. She signs off by wishing viewers a fantastic rest of the week and inviting them to continue the conversation on the next manifestation-focused broadcast.

For most of the last century, gardeners were taught to cultivate their soil after every rain to conserve moisture, to think of plant roots as lone competitors, and to treat "plant communication" as science fiction. All of that was built on the best evidence available at the time, and all of it has been revised, in some cases more than once, as better tools let researchers see what earlier generations simply could not. In this episode, we walk through four real case studies of plant science changing its mind. Along the way, we talk about how the scientific method works, why one of my favorite phrases, "we don't know what we don't know," is not a discouraging idea but an exciting one, and what all of this means for the choices you make in your own garden each season, now and into the future.

Most men think attraction is something that happens to them (a switch their wife either flips or doesn't). Keith Yackey burns that idea to the ground. After two divorces, he built a framework around one brutal truth: you don't get what you want, you get what you are. If she's not leaning in anymore, that's not a mystery. That's a mirror. In this conversation, Keith breaks down the five dials every man is quietly failing (parent, partner, producer, player, and power) and hands you the exact language to rate yourself against them. We get into why scheduling sex builds more desire than spontaneity ever will, why "I did it for you" is the worst thing a man can say, and why the guys who stop chasing anything eventually get left by everything. This isn't theory. It's the same math Keith used to go from a 19 out of 100 to the best marriage of his life.

Roger Aletras grew up in New York — and by 16 years old he was already robbing people at gunpoint. What followed was a criminal career that escalated from armed robbery to working with organized crime running jewel heists across New York. When the feds came for him on a gun charge it was only the beginning. A murder during a drug deal in Vermont ultimately sent him to federal prison where he spent over 30 years inside some of America's most dangerous facilities. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Roger opens up about the complete arc of his criminal life — from his first gun robbery at 16 to the jewel heists to the murder that changed everything. He shares what life inside prison really looked like as someone connected to organized crime — the politics the power structures and the stories nobody has ever heard. And he talks about what 30 years behind bars does to a person and what life looks like on the other side. _____________________________________________ #organizedcrime #truecrimecommunity #prisonlife _____________________________________________ Thank you to MARS MEN & BLUEPRINT for sponsoring this episode: Mars Men: For a limited time, our listeners get 50% off FOR LIFE, Free Shipping, AND 3 Free Gifts at Mars Men at https://mengotomars.com/ _____________________________________________ Blueprint: For a limited time only, our listeners get 20% off + free shipping at https://blueprint.bryanjohnson.com/ by using code LOCKEDIN at checkout. #Blueprint #ad _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Armed Robber Who Faced the Death Penalty — Roger's Complete Story 00:28 His Early Childhood Broken Home and the Environment That Set Everything in Motion 01:52 His First Crimes and the Juvenile Arrest That Started Everything 06:12 Life Inside Juvenile Detention and What That World Really Looked Like 14:24 Getting Caught Robbing a Gun Store and What That Moment Really Felt Like 20:00 Learning How to Be a Better Criminal Inside Prison and What That Education Looked Like 27:00 Prison Life and the Hard Realities That Defined His Early Years Inside 32:00 Getting Released Reoffending and What Getting Pulled Into Organized Crime Really Involved 41:00 Maximum Security at Green Haven — One of New York's Most Brutal Prisons 43:00 The Escalation From Theft to Armed Robbery and What Drove That Transition 47:00 Shootouts and Life on the Run — the Most Dangerous Chapter of His Criminal Career 54:00 Prison in New Jersey and the Culture That Governed Everything Inside 01:00:00 Prison Violence the Codes That Govern It and What Survival Actually Required 01:05:00 Armored Car Robberies and the Elevated Risks That Came With That World 01:11:00 The Transition to Federal Prison and What That Step Up Really Looked Like 01:18:00 Federal Prison Challenges and the Big Cases That Defined His Time Inside 01:26:00 Facing a Murder Case and the Death Penalty — the Moment Everything Almost Ended Forever 01:35:00 The Prison Transformation — Education Reflection and the Shift That Changed Everything 01:45:00 Release and What Starting Over After Everything He Survived Really Looked Like 01:50:00 His Regrets His Redemption and the Advice He Wants Everyone to Hear _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

And he talks about what 30 years behind bars does to a person and what life looks like on the other side. _____________________________________________ #organizedcrime #truecrimecommunity #prisonlife _____________________________________________ Thank you to MARS MEN & BLUEPRINT for sponsoring this episode: Mars Men: For a limited time, our listeners get 50% off FOR LIFE, Free Shipping, AND 3 Free Gifts at Mars Men at https://mengotomars.com/ _____________________________________________ Blueprint: For a limited time only, our listeners get 20% off + free shipping at https://blueprint.bryanjohnson.com/ by using code LOCKEDIN at checkout. #Blueprint #ad _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Armed Robber Who Faced the Death Penalty — Roger's Complete Story 00:28 His Early Childhood Broken Home and the Environment That Set Everything in Motion 01:52 His First Crimes and the Juvenile Arrest That Started Everything 06:12 Life Inside Juvenile Detention and What That World Really Looked Like 14:24 Getting Caught Robbing a Gun Store and What That Moment Really Felt Like 20:00 Learning How to Be a Better Criminal Inside Prison and What That Education Looked Like 27:00 Prison Life and the Hard Realities That Defined His Early Years Inside 32:00 Getting Released Reoffending and What Getting Pulled Into Organized Crime Really Involved 41:00 Maximum Security at Green Haven — One of New York's Most Brutal Prisons 43:00 The Escalation From Theft to Armed Robbery and What Drove That Transition 47:00 Shootouts and Life on the Run — the Most Dangerous Chapter of His Criminal Career 54:00 Prison in New Jersey and the Culture That Governed Everything Inside 01:00:00 Prison Violence the Codes That Govern It and What Survival Actually Required 01:05:00 Armored Car Robberies and the Elevated Risks That Came With That World 01:11:00 The Transition to Federal Prison and What That Step Up Really Looked Like 01:18:00 Federal Prison Challenges and the Big Cases That Defined His Time Inside 01:26:00 Facing a Murder Case and the Death Penalty — the Moment Everything Almost Ended Forever 01:35:00 The Prison Transformation — Education Reflection and the Shift That Changed Everything 01:45:00 Release and What Starting Over After Everything He Survived Really Looked Like 01:50:00 His Regrets His Redemption and the Advice He Wants Everyone to Hear _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

When we talk about mythic fiction, it's easy to assume mythic stories are created through familiar ingredients: archetypes, symbolism, old myths, epic structure. But I don't think that's where mythic storytelling begins. In this post/podcast, I explore seven practices and mindsets that help writers reconnect with what the lost art of mythmaking--not just borrowing of old symbolic forms, but accessing the deeper creative process from which meaningful stories emerge in the first place. We talk about: • Why mythic stories often feel like they come *through* us rather than *from* us • How dreamzoning and flow states support deeper storytelling • Why "shoulds" can block archetypal imagination • How asking questions opens access to mythic resonance • The deeper shape beneath story structure • Why confronting the shadows matters for writers • How mythic storytelling functions as transformation and initiation Mythic fiction isn't just a genre or an aesthetic. At its deepest level, it is a way of relating to story itself. If you've ever wanted to write stories that feel more alive, more resonant, or more meaningful, but weren't sure how to move beyond technique alone, this conversation offers a practical place to begin. 01:50 What Is Mythic Fiction? 02:34 What Mythic Fiction Is Not 04:07 What Mythic Fiction Is 05:12 The Lost Art of Mythmaking 06:31 Practice #1: Entering the Flow State 08:49 Practice #2: Clear the "Shoulds" That Block Archetypal Imagination 09:58 Practice #3: Ask Questions Instead of Arriving With Answers 11:32 Practice #4: Study the Deeper Shape Beneath Story Structure 12:56 Practice #5: Study the Stories That Create Mythic Resonance 15:07 Practice #6: Be Fearless Enough to Enter the Shadows 17:11 Practice #7: Approach Archetypal Storytelling With Humility and Responsibility 18:16 Learning How to Imagine Better 19:22 Writing Masterclass: Alchemizing Plot, Character, and Theme Read the transcript: https://helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/how-to-write-mythic-fiction-practices LINKS & RESOURCES Want More?

Send us Fan MailJody Fletcher is back on Ones Ready with Trent to talk about his new book, Good Humans Make Great Leaders.Jody is a retired Command Master Chief who spent most of his career in the reconnaissance and Marine Special Operations community as a Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman, or SARC. In this episode, Trent and Jody dig into what leadership actually means, why being a good person does not automatically make someone a good leader, and why so many organizations promote people without ever teaching them how to lead.They also talk about self-awareness, emotional intelligence, parenting, hard conversations, imposter syndrome, building trust, setting expectations, and why the first person you have to lead is the person in the mirror.If you are preparing for Air Force Special Warfare, serving in the military, leading a team, raising kids, or trying to become a better human before chasing a bigger title, this one is worth your time.Jody Fletcher's book, Good Humans Make Great Leaders, releases July 14 and is available for preorder on Amazon.Learn more about Jody:GoodHumanGreatLeader.comTrain with us:OperatorTrainingSummit.comSupport the show:OnesReady.comChapters:00:00 - Ones Ready Intro01:06 - Tasty Gains and Operator Training Summit Updates02:13 - Welcome Back Jody Fletcher03:09 - Jody's Background as a SARC and Command Master Chief04:24 - Making Fun of Marines and Air Force Guys05:21 - Writing Good Humans Make Great Leaders06:51 - Formal Education, Military Schoolhouses, and Learning How to Learn08:26 - Why Pipeline Academics Matter10:07 - Hybrid Publishing and Getting the Book Finished13:08 - Good Humans Make Great Leaders Release Date15:00 - Who the Book Is Written For17:24 - Editing, Structure, and Building a Better Book18:00 - Trent's Problem With the Word “Leadership”19:21 - Leading the Person in the Mirror21:14 - Leadership vs. Management23:51 - Defining Good Humans and Great Leaders25:00 - Selection, Teamwork, and Emotional Intelligence27:06 - Authentic Leadership vs. Repeating Leadership Books28:00 - Superpowers, Compliments, and Imposter Syndrome30:03 - The Voice in Your Head and the Skull Gym32:41 - Doing Hard Things That Are Not Physical34:00 - Parents, Recruiters, and Letting Kids Grow37:26 - Teaching Kids Confidence Through Reps39:00 - Avoiding Dependency as a Leader or Parent40:45 - Accepting Risk and Letting People Learn42:33 - What Great Leadership Feels Like43:14 - The Best Leaders Jody Ever Served With44:53 - Good Humans Who Are Bad Leaders46:01 - EAT: Expectations, Accountability, Advocacy, and Trust47:00 - Different Leadership Styles and Clear Expectations50:00 - Dynamic Leadership and Shifting Gears51:45 - Admitting When You Are Wrong53:00 - The Princess Story and Owning Mistakes56:13 - Practicing Accountability With Your Kids56:58 - Where to Find Good Humans Make Great Leaders58:06 - Jody's Leadership Resources and Flashcards59:04 - Book Club, Final Thoughts, and Wrap-UpSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Happiness is becoming scarcer as more of us work harder, longer hours. Most adults don't have a productivity problem—they have a joy problem. Somewhere between responsibilities, careers, parenting, and achievement, many people abandon happiness, that playful, curious version of themselves that once came naturally. Do we build better habits at the sake of losing our joy? Improv comedian, speaker, and workplace culture expert Erin Diehl argues that play is far more than entertainment—it's a gateway to resilience, creativity, authentic leadership, self-love, and deeper human connection. Through powerful stories about burnout, post-concussion recovery, IVF heartbreak, motherhood, and rebuilding her life around joy instead of achievement, Erin shares how learning to surrender control, develop happiness as a skill, embrace uncertainty, and intentionally create space for fun transformed both her personal life and business. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, overly serious, or stuck in constant productivity mode, this conversation offers a practical and deeply human reminder that joy isn't a reward for success—it might actually be the path to it.

Charles "Cadillac" Anderson joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his story of spending over 20 years in the Arkansas and federal prison systems. Growing up in a rough neighborhood surrounded by gangs and violence, with his father in and out of his life, Charles was raised by a mother who did everything she could—but the streets pulled him in. Trying to fit in and be accepted led to a robbery charge that landed him 13 years in the Arkansas prison system, where he was sent to a max unit and exposed to extreme violence on a daily basis. In this episode, he talks about being stabbed in prison, witnessing brutal attacks, and what it takes to survive behind bars. After his release, he developed a drug addiction and began dealing, which ultimately led to a federal prison sentence. Charles opens up about hitting rock bottom, the cycle of crime and addiction, and how he finally turned his life around after serving decades behind bars. This is a raw, unfiltered look at prison life, violence, addiction, and redemption. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStory #ExInmate #TrueCrime #PrisonLife #BehindBars #LifeSentence #FederalPrison #lockedinpodcast _____________________________________________ Connect with Charles "Cadilac" Anderson: https://www.facebook.com/charles.cadillac.anderson _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 How He Lost 20 Years of His Life 00:19 Growing Up in Southwest Little Rock 01:19 His Childhood and Family Life 03:37 Trouble Started Early 04:46 First Crimes as a Kid 05:56 Addiction Took Over Fast 07:55 Dropping Out of School 09:49 Missed Chances That Changed Everything 11:07 First Robberies 13:11 Getting Caught 16:13 First Time in Jail 17:46 Learning How to Survive 19:19 Sentenced and Sent to Prison 21:26 Life in Maximum Security 23:33 Violence Inside Prison 26:34 Solitary Confinement 30:56 Getting Out and Starting Over 33:43 Relapse and Losing Everything Again 36:53 Second Arrest and Federal Charges 42:12 Back to Prison 50:33 Prison Politics and Survival 56:12 Finally Getting Out 01:03:43 Turning His Life Around 01:10:10 What He Would Tell His Younger Self _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you want to move from just reading the Bible to truly understanding and "digging" into its depths?In this opening session of the Rooted Conference, Pastor Daniel Batarseh shares the foundational "Tool Belt" for deeper Bible study. This isn't just a session on how to teach; it's a practical workshop on how to study the Word of God for yourself, so that the word of Christ can "dwell in you richly" (Colossians 3: 16).In this session, you will learn:The Goal of Study: Understanding Bible study as a critical part of the Great Commission and personal discipleship.Reading Systematically Why reading from Genesis to Revelation is essential for creating a "mental map" of Scripture.The Power of Thinking: Why revelation comes to "thinkers," not just readers, and how to meditate on what you read.Asking the Right Questions: 8 specific questions to ask any text to unlock its original meaning and modern application.The Compatibility Principle: How to use clear passages to interpret unclear ones and the importance of parallel passages.The Art of Observation: Paying attention to details like time markers, locations, and repetition (the Bible's internal highlighter).Pastor Daniel also leads a live "homework" session using Genesis 18, demonstrating how to apply these tools to see the beauty of God's character in the details of the text.

Melissa Doran grew up as the daughter of a cop in a strict household, but a lack of love at home led her to start rebelling at a young age. After being sent to a teen program in Utah and losing her father at just 16 years old, her life spiraled even further when she became involved with an older gang member, ultimately leading to a violent police shootout. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Melissa shares how those choices led to a 7-to-life sentence in the California prison system and what it was really like serving 18 years behind bars.

Melissa Doran grew up as the daughter of a cop in a strict household, but a lack of love at home led her to start rebelling at a young age. After being sent to a teen program in Utah and losing her father at just 16 years old, her life spiraled even further when she became involved with an older gang member, ultimately leading to a violent police shootout. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Melissa shares how those choices led to a 7-to-life sentence in the California prison system and what it was really like serving 18 years behind bars. She opens up about the reality of prison life, the mindset it takes to survive, and how she's working to rebuild her life after incarceration. _____________________________________________ #ianbick #lockedinpodcast #prisonstory #lifesentence #teenlifer #womeninprison #truecrime #californiaprison _____________________________________________ Thank you to FACTOR for sponsoring this episode: Head to https://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50% off your first Factor box PLUS free breakfast for 1 year.

We tend to think of genius as something you're born with — a rare trait possessed by the Einsteins and Teslas of the world. But what if many of the abilities we associate with genius — a great memory, quick problem-solving, mental math, creative insight — are actually trainable skills?My guest today says that's exactly the case. His name is Nelson Dellis, and he's a six-time USA Memory Champion and the author of the book Everyday Genius.In our conversation, Nelson explains why memory is the foundation of thinking well and why having information stored in your head still matters in the age of ChatGPT. He shares a practical technique for improving your memory, how to read with greater focus and retention, and how to study to actually make information stick. We then talk about the importance of developing “number sense” and how to convert imperial measurements to metric in your head, strategies for solving problems more effectively, and even how to gain an edge in the games of Monopoly and Connect Four. At the end of the conversation, we get into more esoteric territory, including intuition, dreams, and the idea of remote viewing.Resources Related to the PodcastNelson's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #546 — How to Get a Memory Like a Steel TrapAoM Article: 10 Ways to Improve Your MemoryAoM Article: How to Speed Read Like Theodore RooseveltAoM Podcast #385: Learning How to LearnAoM Article: Study Tactics of the Successful Gentleman ScholarThe CIA's remote viewing programConnect With Nelson DellisNelson's websiteNelson on YouTubeThanks to This Week's Podcast SponsorIncogni.

Poducer | The Podcast for Producers Jerry sits down with Ben Moskow (The Real Ones) to talk about independent media, podcasting, and the evolving creator economy. The conversation covers Ben's background in media, how The Real Ones started, the rise of Substack and newsletters, and what it takes to build sustainable independent platforms in an increasingly crowded media landscape. Ben Moskow Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ben.m/ Real Ones https://realonesshow.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@UC0pWzldmto6M2HTOYv8S6eg https://www.tiktok.com/@realonesshow Ben shares how The Real Ones grew out of a desire to document artists early in their careers and create space for deeper conversations outside the traditional press cycle. Jerry and Ben discuss the role independent media can play in music scenes, especially when smaller platforms highlight emerging artists and communities that larger outlets often overlook. The conversation also dives into the evolution of podcasting itself. What started as a grassroots medium where anyone could start a show has become a far more competitive space, particularly as celebrities and major public figures have entered the format. Jerry and Ben explore how that shift has changed the way audiences discover and engage with shows. They also discuss the broader creator ecosystem, including platforms like Substack and the growing interest in building direct relationships with audiences through newsletters and independent media channels. Toward the end, the conversation turns to the realities of sustaining independent projects today, from audience attention to the economics of building a platform that can last.

Episode 418 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Jeff Glass, Co-Founder & CEO of Hometap. Jeff's track record is pretty amazing, yet he is incredibly humble. As both an entrepreneur and an investor, he has…in my opinion… earned a spot as one of the top builders in the Boston tech ecosystem. While success always requires the right market timing and a great team, you also need a leader who truly thrives in the full lifecycle journey of building a startup and that is exactly what Jeff has done throughout his career. Listen to this track record. Back in the Internet 1.0 era, he co-founded Transactive Solutions. This tech company included a web property called Zooba which scaled and had very forward looking technology. The company was acquired by a joint venture between Bertelsmann and AOL Time Warner. Then, in the early days of mobile, he led m-Qube through each company phase from figuring out product market fit to the hypergrowth years and eventually an acquisition by VeriSign. Beyond the exit, m-Qube is legendary for its "alumni network," having produced a generation of founders and executives who have gone on to build many successful companies in Boston and beyond. Jeff also spent years as a VC with Bain Capital Ventures, where he sat on the board of LinkedIn for three years leading up to their IPO. He later joined a portfolio company as the CEO of Skyhook Wireless which was acquired by Liberty Media. Today, Jeff is the CEO and Co-Founder of Hometap which has a very meaningful mission: making homeownership less stressful and more accessible. Hometap allows consumers to access the equity in their homes without taking on a loan or sell their home. Think of it like a startup, where an investor is taking equity as a percentage of ownership in a company for a future return. The same idea applies here for consumers and their home. It's just one of those ideas that makes a world of sense.

A Note from James:Tony Hawk is one of the greatest athletes of all time—but what fascinates me most isn't just the tricks.It's the mindset.Tony didn't just become the best skateboarder in the world. He built an entire ecosystem around what he loved: competitions, companies, tours, sponsorships, and one of the most successful video game franchises ever created.What's interesting is that none of it was planned that way. It came from constant experimentation, falling—literally—and getting back up again.In this episode, Tony talks about the path to excellence, how he handled criticism and failure, the moment he finally landed the legendary 900 trick, and how skateboarding evolved from an underground subculture into a global industry.Episode Description:Tony Hawk didn't just change skateboarding—he helped transform it into a global cultural phenomenon.In this archival conversation, Tony shares the real story behind his career: learning to master fear, surviving the ups and downs of a niche sport, and eventually building a massive business empire around skateboarding.He explains how passion drove him through the lean years when skateboarding almost disappeared, why constant experimentation helped him stay at the top, and how a combination of timing, risk-taking, and creative control led to the success of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video game franchise.The conversation also explores the legendary moment when he landed the first successful 900, the importance of protecting your brand, and why mastery often comes from relentless curiosity rather than natural talent.What You'll Learn:Why pursuing passion—even during downturns—can create long-term successHow failure and repetition build elite skill in any disciplineWhy protecting your brand and intellectual control matters in businessHow the 900 trick became one of the most iconic moments in sports historyWhy continuous learning and experimentation are essential for staying relevantTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] The Physics of Skateboarding & Learning Through Failure[00:03:12] Introduction[00:03:38] Developing Air Awareness in Skateboarding[00:04:10] The First Time Going Airborne in a Pool[00:05:05] Learning How to Fall Safely[00:06:19] Aging, Risk & Walking Away from Mega Ramps[00:07:17] Skateboarding's Rebellious Origins[00:08:00] Creativity and Individual Style in Skate Culture[00:09:00] Advice for Pursuing Excellence[00:10:00] Learning Every Aspect of an Industry[00:11:35] Skateboarding's Collapse in the Early '90s[00:12:33] Becoming a Professional Skater[00:14:02] Mentorship from Stacy Peralta[00:15:13] Going Broke During Skateboarding's Down Years[00:16:29] Skating Parking Lot Shows for $100 a Day[00:17:31] The X Games and Skateboarding's Comeback[00:18:45] The Video Game That Changed Everything[00:19:31] When Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Became “The Game”[00:20:24] Lessons from Skateboarding Applied to Business[00:21:17] A Failed High-End Denim Business[00:22:43] Being Called a Sellout[00:24:00] Protecting Your Brand and Reputation[00:25:13] Creating Tony Hawk's Pro Skater[00:26:20] Designing the Game Mechanics[00:27:20] The Long Road to the 900[00:29:35] Landing the 900 at the X Games[00:31:08] Becoming Tony Hawk Inc.[00:32:21] The Importance of Total Immersion[00:33:29] Designing the Downward Spiral Ramp[00:35:24] Advice for Raising a Passionate Kid[00:38:12] Business Advice from Tony Hawk's Sister[00:40:29] Working with Family[00:43:04] Why Some Athletes Fade After Success[00:44:28] Clearing Up the 900 Controversy[00:48:00] The Hoverboard PrankAdditional Resources:Official Tony HawkTony Hawk's™ Pro Skater™ 3 + 4Bones Brigade: An AutobiographyRiley Hawk on InstagramSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Read Montague, PhD, is a professor and director of the Center for Human Neuroscience Research at Virginia Tech and an expert in how dopamine and serotonin shape human learning, motivation and decision-making. We discuss how they impact focused effort in the context of short- and long-term goals of all kinds.
