Behavioral designer Nir Eyal sits down with Jeremy Au to unpack the ideas behind his New York Times bestseller Beyond Belief. He explains why information alone never changes behavior, why your limiting beliefs stay hidden like your own face, and how the motivation triangle of behavior, benefit, and belief decides whether you actually follow through. Nir breaks down the research showing why manifesting and vision boarding can backfire, what athletes do instead with mental contrasting, the crucial difference between pain and suffering, and the four-question turnaround he used to repair his relationship with his mother. The episode closes with a live coaching session where Jeremy rewrites his own beliefs about exercise. For founders, operators, and investors across Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia, this is a practical playbook for the inner game of building. Burnout, self-doubt, and stalled goals are common across Southeast Asia's startup ecosystem, and Nir's framework offers a science-backed way to spot the beliefs quietly capping your potential and swap them for ones that serve you.

Nazareth and the Hidden Life Retreat Reflection I Nazareth and the Sanctification of the Ordinary Epigraph “And He went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them.” — St. Luke 2:51 “The Lord loves the humble soul that has surrendered herself to the will of God.” — Saint Silouan the Athonite ⸻ There is something deeply unsettling about Nazareth. Not because it is dramatic, but because it is not. The Gospels pass over nearly thirty years of Christ's earthly life in almost complete silence. We are told of His birth, the flight into Egypt, the finding in the Temple, and then suddenly He is standing in the Jordan before John. Between those moments lies an immense hiddenness. Decades vanish into silence. And yet the Church has always understood that nothing in the life of Christ is accidental. The hidden years are revelation. This is difficult for us because we are formed by a world that equates meaning with visibility. We instinctively imagine that what matters must be seen, accomplished, recognized, effective, influential, or extraordinary. Even our spiritual life often becomes infected with this mentality. We want transformation to be dramatic. We want clarity quickly. We want our lives to feel significant. But Christ spends the overwhelming majority of His earthly existence in obscurity. Not preaching. Not healing publicly. 1 Not raising the dead. Not confronting empires. Working. Praying. Eating meals. Walking dusty roads. Living within the repetition and hiddenness of ordinary life. The Son of God sanctified not only suffering and death. He sanctified ordinary existence itself. This is one of the great forgotten truths of Christianity. Many people secretly endure their lives as though the “real” spiritual life were elsewhere. They imagine holiness occurring in monasteries, missions, dramatic sacrifices, or extraordinary mystical experiences, while their own existence feels painfully repetitive: the dishes, the caregiving, the exhaustion, the office, the commute, the sleepless nights, the aging body, the hidden grief, the years that seem to pass without visible transformation. But Nazareth stands before the world as a contradiction to all such thinking. God chose hiddenness. Not as punishment. Not as delay. But as revelation. The hidden years reveal something about the very manner in which God acts. Divine life does not move according to the logic of spectacle. God works silently, patiently, gradually, often beneath visibility itself. Seeds germinate underground. The child grows in the womb unseen. Bread rises quietly. Prayer deepens imperceptibly. The kingdom of God arrives almost secretly. 2 And so much of the spiritual life unfolds precisely where the ego feels most deprived: in repetition, in obscurity, in waiting, in relinquishment, in the slow erosion of self-importance. This is why Nazareth becomes painful for us. Not because it lacks God. But because it threatens the fantasies through which we preserve ourselves psychologically. Most human beings carry within themselves an imagined life. We construct inward narratives about who we will become, what our lives will look like, how others will perceive us, what spiritual maturity will feel like, how our vocation will unfold. Often we do this unconsciously. The ego survives partly through anticipation and self-construction. But ordinary life slowly dismantles these fantasies. The years pass. Weaknesses remain. Relationships become difficult. Bodies age. Opportunities disappear. Recognition fades. The extraordinary fails to arrive. And many people quietly become resentful at precisely this point. Not necessarily resentful toward God explicitly. More often there emerges a subtle disappointment with reality itself. The ordinary begins to feel like failure. Hiddenness feels like abandonment. Repetition feels meaningless. The soul becomes restless, searching continually for intensity, novelty, affirmation, or escape. But the hidden years of Christ reveal something radically different: salvation unfolds within ordinary time. This is profoundly important because modern culture has become nearly incapable of remaining within ordinary life. We seek constant stimulation 3 because silence exposes our inner poverty. We seek visibility because hiddenness feels like nonexistence. We seek intensity because ordinary faithfulness feels insufficient to the ego. And yet the saints repeatedly tell us that God is found precisely in this hidden endurance. Saint Isaac the Syrian says that the man who has learned to endure himself has already approached the borders of humility. That phrase is extraordinarily deep because one of the great difficulties of ordinary life is that we cannot escape ourselves within it. The repetitions of daily existence expose our impatience, vanity, fantasies, irritability, loneliness, and hidden hunger for recognition. The monastery reveals this. Marriage reveals this. Caregiving reveals this. Aging reveals this. Silence reveals this. And modern people often flee immediately from such revelation. This is one reason our culture is saturated with distraction. Endless stimulation protects us temporarily from encountering the deeper movements of the heart. Noise allows us to avoid self-knowledge. Busyness protects us from stillness. Constant comparison protects us from accepting our actual lives. Nazareth dismantles all of this. The Son of God accepts limitation. He accepts hiddenness. He accepts gradualness. He accepts ordinary labor. He accepts being unknown. And perhaps most astonishingly, He remains. This may be one of the hardest spiritual acts for modern people. To remain. To remain in prayer when prayer feels dry. To remain in marriage when emotional intensity fades. To remain in caregiving when exhaustion deepens. 4 To remain faithful within obscurity. To remain present within ordinary life without fleeing continually toward fantasy or self-construction. The hidden years reveal that salvation often unfolds precisely through such remaining. Not glamorous remaining. Not emotionally triumphant remaining. Simply the quiet fidelity of continuing to offer oneself to God within the actual conditions of one's life. This does not mean passivity or fatalism. Nazareth is not an excuse for fear or avoidance. Christ eventually leaves Nazareth and enters public ministry. But He does so only after decades hidden within ordinary existence. The hidden life was not wasted time before the “real mission.” It was itself part of the revelation. And perhaps this is what many souls most need to hear today: your hidden life is not invisible to God. The years that seem uneventful. The labor no one notices. The prayers said distractedly but faithfully. The meals prepared. The tears shed privately. The humiliations endured quietly. The long stretches where nothing seems to happen spiritually. None of this is outside salvation. Christ has entered all of it. Indeed, He chose to spend most of His earthly life there. The fathers understood this more deeply than we often realize. The desert was never merely geographical. It was existential. The monk enters hiddenness not to become extraordinary, but to become truthful. Gradually the false self built upon recognition, performance, fantasy, and comparison begins to weaken. A different kind of life slowly emerges: simpler, poorer, more real, 5 less dependent upon being seen. This is why hiddenness feels simultaneously painful and liberating. Painful because the ego experiences obscurity as diminishment. Liberating because the soul gradually discovers it no longer needs to construct itself continually before others. Nazareth teaches us this freedom. The hidden Christ reveals the holiness of ordinary existence lived in communion with the Father. And perhaps holiness itself is far quieter than we imagine. Perhaps sanctity often looks less like dramatic accomplishment and more like: patience, presence, forgiveness, hidden prayer, remaining, and consenting slowly to the life actually given to us. Nazareth teaches us that salvation enters the world silently. And it teaches us that the ordinary moments we are most tempted to overlook may become precisely the places where Christ is forming His life within us. 6

On this very special episode of the Moth Podcast we feature stories of women and their liberation. This episode is hosted by actress, author and mega-fan of the Tony-nominated play Liberation, Busy Philipps, and features a conversation with its Pulitzer-Prize-winning playwright Bess Wohl and Obie-winning director Whitney White. The three stories will take us from the middle of the ocean, to a nude spa in Santa Fe, to a rest stop in Texas… but all of them are about breaking free. About discovering yourself. Storytellers: Rescue swimmer Amanda Burrill is left by her ship during a drill, staying deep in the ocean unsure of when her crew would return. Jennifer Kohnhorst vacations at a fancy clothes-optional spa. On a road trip home, Victoria Nguyen is thrust into a dangerous situation.

(Cambridge Insight Meditation Center) The Buddha taught, “Whoever is addicted to society and worldly bustle, they will not partake of the happiness of renunciation, dispassion, peace, and awakening.” Wisdom and awareness practice is an invitation to wholeness and intimacy. We practice opening and receiving the activities of the mind and body with a wisdom that discerns the futility and stressfulness of attachment. The renunciation of attachment is a natural result of seeing things as they are, that all experiences arise and pass lawfully following impersonal causes and conditions. Renunciation, letting go, or letting be, is a profound giving of the heart to the moment just as it is.

Gene Decode, who served for 21 years in the US Navy on five classes of submarines, describes ongoing US and allied special forces military raids into ancient underground tunnel systems as the true purpose behind the current US Iran War. The raids are designed to liberate captured humans being trafficked for the purpose of raising huge amounts of income, and to prevent misuse of portals and exotic technologies by Deep State aligned actors in an extensive tunnel system that extends throughout Iran, and elsewhere in the Middle East, which is thousands of years old but has been repurposed by the Iranian regime and its Chinese communist allies.Decode cites USGS geological data on earthquakes occurring at depths of 10 kms as evidence of recent battles between the Earth Alliance comprising US and other nation's white hats, and the Deep State along with their negative extraterrestrial allies. He also describes positive giants from the Inner Earth as playing an important role in the liberation process. He furthermore claims that the Earth Alliance is well on the path to victory and it's only a matter of time before the defeat of the Deep State and its allies. Finally, Decode discusses similar underground liberation battles happening in the Americas.Gene Decode's website is: https://genedecode.org/Gene Decode will be a panelist at the upcoming April 18 webinar titled: The Exopolitical State of the Planet: Power Shifts, AI and ETs in 2026 https://www.crowdcast.io/c/exostateofplanet2026Join Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More.Visit https://Patreon.com/MichaelSalla/

Welcome to episode #1028 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). In a world increasingly defined by information overload and ideological certainty, the ability to change one's mind may be the most undervalued skill of all… and few thinkers have explored that terrain as deeply as my friend, Nir Eyal. A bestselling author, behavioral design expert and former Stanford lecturer, Nir has built a career examining how habits are formed, how attention is controlled and how human behavior can be shaped both externally and from within. His previous works, Hooked - How To Build Habit-Forming Products and Indistractable - How To Control Your Attention And Choose Your Life, established him as a leading voice on the psychology of technology and focus. In his latest book, Beyond Belief - Change Your Mind, Change Your Life, Nir shifts inward, exploring the often invisible force that determines whether knowledge translates into action: belief itself. Drawing on behavioral science, psychology and lived experience, he introduces what he calls the "motivation triangle" - behavior, benefit and belief - and argues that without belief, even the best strategies and intentions collapse. At the core of his work is a provocative idea: beliefs are not truths… they are tools (flexible, revisable constructs that shape what we see, feel and do). He explores how limiting beliefs persist even when we know better, why we often fail to act on advice we actively seek, and how techniques like "turnarounds" can help reframe our assumptions to unlock agency and change. At the same time, Nir wrestles with the broader implications of belief in a polarized, AI-driven world… where narratives are reinforced, critical thinking is uneven, and certainty is often mistaken for truth. Grounded in both rigorous research and personal reflection, his work reframes belief not as something to defend, but as something to consciously design and refine. Nir is also available to join your meetings or gatherings on ThinkersOne. I have had him on the show countless times and he is always inspiring and insightful.

Romans 8 opens with one of the most liberating declarations in all of Scripture: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” This sermon explores how Jesus has fully removed the penalty of sin and how the Holy Spirit now lives within believers as the Spirit of life—freeing them from sin's rule, assuring them of their standing before God, and empowering them to live in true freedom.In this message, questions will be answered like:· Does “no condemnation” really mean none—even for your present and future sin?· What is the difference between conviction from the Holy Spirit and condemnation from the enemy?· How does the Holy Spirit actually free you from the power of sin in daily life?· Why couldn't God's law fix you—and what did Jesus do instead?· What new power and resources are available to you right now through the Spirit?Support our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving

Step into a powerful, soul-opening conversation with Paul Hutchison and Hada Vanessa on this heart centered episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Partners in life, love, and service, Paul and Vanessa share a devotion to healing humanity from the inside out through their work with the Child Liberation Foundation and Santuario retreats rooted in sacred medicine, embodiment, and truth. Paul opens up about his journey from extreme wealth and ego-driven success to a humbling reckoning through years of undercover work rescuing trafficked children. Witnessing the darkest expressions of unhealed humanity forced him to confront his own shadows and led him into deep psychedelic somatic healing that transformed how he lives, loves, and leads. Vanessa shares her path as an empath and mother, navigating disconnection, numbing, and the search for safety before sacred medicine brought her home to her body, presence, and love without armor. Together, they tell the extraordinary story of finding each other through inner alignment rather than fantasy, a reminder that love responds to frequency, not force. We explore what conscious partnership truly requires. Presence. Playfulness. The willingness to sit still together without distraction. Paul and Vanessa reveal how slowing down, feeling fully, and choosing devotion over performance creates intimacy that can withstand the darkest nights. We also talk about: -Transforming trauma without bypassing it -"Hell" as lack of awareness vs radical self responsibility -Psychedelic somatic healing and nervous system safety -Conscious partnership rooted in presence and devotion -Love as frequency rather than pursuit -Humor, joy, and play as spiritual practices -Healing the heart as a path to healing the world We had a good laugh that one of my 6 books is called Finding The One is BS, Becoming the One is Brilliant and Beautiful… they are walking emanations of this teaching! AND ironically, it's the key to finding the depth of love they share.  This episode is an invitation to stop outsourcing love, worth, and salvation to the outside world, and to go all the way in. It reminds us that intimacy begins within, that presence is the doorway to everything, and that healed hearts truly do heal the world. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

We're already six weeks into 2026. So let me ask you this: If you wanted to build a bold, unstoppable, and recognizable personal brand in 2026, one that actually gets you KNOWN and sought after, what would you do? In this episode, Kimberly Gayle shares the top three personal branding decisions you need to make RIGHT NOW to separate yourself from everyone else who's still playing small and invisible. You'll discover: Why creating your own media (podcast, Substack, YouTube, blog) is THE move that positions you as the authority and gives you a platform algorithms can't take away How focusing deeply on ONE person and ONE feeling creates the emotional connection that builds loyal, long-term relationships (and why this is actually LIBERATING, not limiting) The power of building a Brand World Community—and how it saved Kimberly's business during the pandemic while setting her apart from everyone else Why you can't execute on any of these decisions effectively without first getting CERTAIN about your brand foundation The exact first step to take if you're ready to stop winging it and start owning your bold presence in 2026 Kimberly shares powerful personal stories from her ABVGirl blog journey in 2013, the evolution of Brave & Bold podcast, her decision to focus on "Sophia," and how Thursday Night Lives and the "Beer Excellent to Each Other" community literally saved Final Draft Taphouse during shutdowns. If you're tired of feeling stuck in your head, winging it, and invisible despite your expertise, this episode will show you exactly what to do next.

In this episode of The Sports As A Weapon Podcast, host Miguel Garcia is joined by a new friend of the podcast, Eri Lee, a PhD grad student and researcher at the University of Minnesota. Eri shares their insights on how the US national team serves as a tool of US imperialism and neoliberalism on the global stage, the role of Asian diasporic athletes and the model minority myth, and the impact of media representation in sports. Eri also delves into their personal experience as a former Team USA synchronized Ice skater and current skating coach, highlighting the challenges and biases in the sport. Miguel and Eri also cover topics such as gender testing in sports, the meaning of liberating skating, and the urgent issues surrounding ICE activities in Minneapolis. Additionally, Eri also touches on their work with the Sports Scholars for Justice in Palestine, @ss4jPal. This episode is a prime example of how sports can be both a site of resistance and a perpetuator of systemic inequities.Links* Eri Lee Website * Bridging the Gap Between Sport Studies & Asian American Studies by Eri Lee* On Assimilation Politics: Reflections of an Asian American Athlete by Eri Lee* Milan's Winter Olympics met with protests against ICE and Israel by Ana Vračar/Peoples Dispatch* Why the Olympics—Not the Super Bowl—Became a Political Football By Michael McCarthy/Front Office Sports * Chloe Kim & More Fire Back at Donald Trump Calling Team USA Teammate a ‘Loser' by Paige Strout/Yahoo Sports * A Minneapolis Teacher Wants the Whole Country in the Streets by Dave Zirin/The Nation Miguel Garcia and Comrade E produced this episode.

General Blaine Holt, USAF (Ret.), outlines the mission to rescue Iran from the brutes, detailing strategic options for liberating the Iranian people from the oppressive regime ruling in Tehran.1954

There's a moment that doesn't get talked about enough. It comes after you start saying no. After you stop over-explaining. After you stop contorting yourself to keep everyone comfortable. At first, it feels powerful. Liberating. Like finally exhaling. Then it gets weird. You feel untethered. Hollow. Disoriented. You start wondering who you even are without being the reliable one, the fixer, the emotional glue. This is the identity hangover. In this episode, I unpack: Why people-pleasing is an identity, not just a habit. The strange emptiness that shows up when old patterns fall away. Why that discomfort means you are doing it right. How to navigate the messy middle without running back to overgiving. If you are in that tender in-between phase, this episode is for you. If this episode hits somewhere tender, you might feel very at home inside The Done Era, my community for recovering people-pleasers who are done abandoning themselves.

Irene Sofia Lucio stops by to discuss the journey from being a shy kid in Puerto Rico who had to force herself to raise her hand to starring in some of the most provocative plays on Broadway. She opens up about the intersection of motherhood and art, explaining how becoming a parent shifted her relationship with her body and why creative teams led by mothers are simply more efficient. We also dig into the "white passing" label she carried for years and how she finally decided to fully reclaim her Latinx identity and name in an industry that loves to categorize. We get into the specifics of her current role in Liberation, including the decision to wear a custom golden armor bust of her own body for opening night and the unique power of performing a nude scene while her father is in the audience. Irene shares how the play explores the history of women's liberation and why physical vulnerability on stage creates a "force field" of safety with her castmates. It is a candid look at how the political climate impacts performance and why gathering in a theater is a form of community building we desperately need right now. Irene Sofia Lucio is an actor and creator whose Broadway credits include Liberation, Slave Play, and Wit. Her Off-Broadway work includes Our Dear Dead Drug Lord. On screen, she has appeared in In the Heights, Tell Me Lies, The Big Cigar, and co-created the web series Butts. She holds a BA from Princeton University and an MFA from the Yale School of Drama.

Last week it was Venezuela. This week the people of Iran are taking back their country. Cities are on fire. Religious leaders are fleeing. Radical Islam has been put on notice. We get into the possibilities of the country being liberated. Greenland is in the news. Trump still wants it for America. Is there a business deal between Denmark and the US on the horizon? Radical left lunatics are back at it in Minnesota. The US leaves 66 International organizations because they do not serve the United States interests. NYC's new housing clown wants to take away your property eventhough her Mom has a 1.4 million dollar home and Conan O'Brien puts late night hacks in their place. They just aren't funny. All this, and much much more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

The US arrested President Maduro of Venezuela the night before this show was recorded, so we spent some time on it. We discuss the numerous reasons why it happened and what the impacts of his arrest will have. We also got into what the world might look like now that he's no longer dictator in charge. Will the US keep Venezuela on lock down or will we just be a good neighbor? We explore that as well. Somalian fraud and it's origin story are looked at. Who when where and why is Tim Walz okay with it? We got into it. @CBS is now trying to rebrand themselves. Will it work?  We discuss it. Also what's with California wanting to put 16 year olds in car seats? Yeah apparently that's a thing. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

On July 4, 2018, a woman climbed up the base of the Statue of Liberty to protest the detention of migrant children. There was no way for her to get down on her own.

While we can't change our past, we have the capacity in this moment to remember our deepest intention and seed the future. Intention can become the compass of our heart, guiding and creating our life experience.   In these two talks we explore how we awaken mindfulness of intention and how, when we are caught in habits that create suffering, we can find our way home to the deep intention that heals and frees us. The two talks include reflections and practices that can bring the power of intention alive in your life.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music
