She turned hustle into a $4 billion brand, Emma Grede breaks down how she built Kardashian fashion empires  Emma Grede is the founding partner behind the globally successful brands SKIMS, Good American, and Safely, all launched with the Kardashian family. She is also Chairwoman of The Fifteen Percent Pledge, is a board member at Baby2Baby, and was named one of Forbes ‘Richest Self-Made Women in America'.  She explains:  Growing up in East London, raised by a single mother, and how early hardship forged her fierce independence.

In this episode of the Project Unchained Podcast, host Ross Leppala discusses his recent busy schedule and shares his excitement about an upcoming event called the Intentional Athlete. He emphasizes the importance of deriving more than just physical gains from training, suggesting it should also benefit life beyond the platform. Ross then delves into the concept of 'the weaponization of love,' explaining how people on both sides of the political spectrum often misuse and manipulate the idea of love for their own agendas. He calls for a more genuine, inclusive expression of love that acknowledges and respects our shared humanity. Ross invites listeners to reflect on these ideas and looks forward to future episodes featuring guests sharing their stories of mental health triumphs.Connect with your host Ross Leppala!Instagram: ross.leppalaFacebook: Ross LeppalaEmail: theakleprechaun@gmail.comIntro and Outro music credits:"Lost in the Woods" by Gaelynn Leafrom the album "Learning How to Stay"Gaelynn Lea: Violin, VocalsDave Mehling: Guitars, Keyboards, Organ & Auxiliary PercussionAl Church: Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Piano & Auxiliary PercussionMartin Dosh: DrumsAndrew Foreman: Electric BassHaley McCallum: Vocal Harmony

Indie duo Driftwood Choir, featuring Portair and Ed Prosek, are gearing up to release their debut self-titled album on March 7th and I'd love to have you check out the release! The duo and Nettwerk labelmates joined forces after bonding over a spirit of wanderlust, creating an uplifting album about change, and connecting with nature and people. Driftwood Choir cements the musical union of two curious creative spirits, whose songwriting eloquence and acuity matches their clear proclivity for adventure. Born in California and based in Berlin, Ed instantly hit it off with the Australia-born Drew (aka Portair), bonding over a spirit of wanderlust both personally and sonically.  Two distinct paths brought Ed and Drew to Driftwood Choir. Ed had attracted a fervent fanbase with a series of solo EPs, including The Riverbed [2014], Truth [2016], Light as a Feather [2019], and The Foreigner [2023]. Hailing from the other side of the world, Drew built a devout audience under the name of Portair, captivating with The Light That Gives EP [2021], The Ice That Breaks EP [2022], and Learning How to Die EP [2023].  During the fall of 2023, the duo met in Berlin where they linked up for a drink and made a decision to hit the studio together. During their first proper session, the musicians cooked up “Constantinople.” It eventually amassed over half-a-million streams. Inspired by this newly unearthed working relationship, they kept going. Now, the pair is forging a path together emerging with their debut album out 2025.  Thanks for listening!!!

How can we stay open to ongoing learning and growth, even when we don't have all the answers? In this episode, we're joined by CAC's Dean of Core Faculty, Brian McLaren. Together, we continue our chapter-by-chapter exploration of Eager to Love with Chapter 6: “An Alternative Orthodoxy: Paying Attention to Different Things.” In this episode, we explore the concept of "alternative orthodoxy," examining how Franciscan spirituality, Richard Rohr's personal teachings, and the Christian contemplative tradition challenge conventional religious frameworks and invite us to pay attention to different things. Before Mike and Drew begin the conversation with Brian, Mike and Paul catch up with Richard at his hermitage to hear his reflections on the sixth chapter of Eager to Love. Brian McLaren is the Dean of CAC Faculty. A former evangelical pastor, Brian D. McLaren is a champion for a more loving, inclusive and contemplative Christianity. A faculty member at the Center for Action and Contemplation, he teaches ways to reconnect with the message Jesus lived and died for—unconditional love.

In this week's episode, we talk about the theology of communion. Our desire for communion with others is very good and comes from God Himself. In fact, our ache for community is an ache for eternity. God desires to bring us into an eternal communion with Him and the community here on earth points towards this in a small way. We discuss what happens when we experience a broken community, the challenges faced in building community, and how community changes throughout the seasons of life.   Heather's One Thing - My art on the “They That Hope” podcast mug (add photos to website) Sister Miriam's One Thing - Best Ever Crock Pot Roast Recipe  Michelle's One Thing - Every Sacred Sunday Mass Journal   Announcement: Order your Abiding Together shirt in our shop today!   Journal Questions: How have I been wounded within community? How have I been healed through community? In what ways are my friendships free, total, faithful, and fruitful? In what ways are my friendships not free, total, faithful, and fruitful? What kind of friend do I need to tend to my heart? What kind of friend am I to my friends' hearts? How have I withheld belonging from others?   Discussion Questions: How has your need and capacity for community changed over the years? How can you extend belonging to people in your community? What lies isolate you from entering into friendship? How is God inviting you to cultivate and receive community?   Quotes to Ponder: "God is love and in himself he lives a mystery of personal loving communion. Creating the human race in his own image .... God inscribed in the humanity of man and woman the vocation, and thus the capacity and responsibility, of love and communion." (CCC 2331) “The person who loves their dream of community will destroy community, but the person who loves those around them will create community.” (Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Christian Community)   Scripture for Lectio:  “And fear came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common; and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.” (Acts 2:43-47)   Sponsor - CORDA: Connect with the saints through scent with CORDA's handcrafted Catholic candles.
