Then the First Lady's body is found in a nearby lake just as Philip's beloved family come under attack from someone warning him off the case, and he realises that nothing to do with this investigation will be straightforward.Who can you trust if you can't trust a man of God?Buy GaslightFollow Femi KayodePatreon - Support The Showpatreon.com/theconversationwithnadinemathesonpodcastThank you for joining me.

The world is currently in the process of radically filtering out toxic masculinity and seeking new ways of being and doing across cultures and industries. Human culture has been out of balance for a good while and has faced a lot of destruction because of it; so how can we bring more balance back into the world and our lives?In this conversation with the Three Luminaries, Leilani Mañulu, Anika Apple, and Kailei Carr we explore the divine feminine, our wounded feminine and masculine aspects, resistance to our divine feminine, trusting the unseen, masculine and feminine sides of the body, leading with the divine feminine, divine feminine sexuality and the connection between pleasure and creativity.

Do you have a nagging feeling that there's more? I help people shift their mindset, get "unstuck", get in alignment, speak with authenticity and authority, and be their "true selves". My clients and audiences call me "The Wizard" and the "Chiropractor for the soul" because identifying those tiny areas that are holding you back from fulfillment, answers and mastery in life and business is where I've spent my life focus so that we can all have complete freedom. https://futurewiththewizard.com/ In case you want to understand just how I got to this point, here is the short story... My degree is Pre-Medical Exercise Physiology, I landed my first role immediately in a Hollywood film called, "Radio" with Cuba Gooding Jr., Ed Harris, and Alfre Woodard which I was featured and had an opportunity for my SAG card. I spent time with Cuba and Riley Smith and after that booked my first agent. I went on to land the lead in several theater productions and then to teaching acting in an agency. I knew I wanted to be a director so I connected with Fritz Kiersch (Director of the Children of the Corn) and Grey Frederickson (Producer of The Godfather Triology). I directed my first film which was nominated for Best Family Picture in a short film category and aired on Television. During this time I owned and operated my business of personal training as an Exercise Physiologist where I trained Miss America from 2007, Realtor celebrities and Bootcamps. I landed an international commercial where one of my highlights was being on a coupon! After that I was selected as a resident Actor in a theater company in which I received my Actor's Equity Card. I performed with Broadway actors, international film stars like Lou Diamond Phillips, who won a Tony Award, Jensen Ackles from CN's Supernatural, and performed in opera houses and small theaters with audiences from 40 to 2,000. In addition to teaching acting and performance at a University and the Theater at the time, I auditioned for roles such as Louie the Alligator in Disney's Princess and the Frog, Steven Spielberg's Band of Brothers, The Expendables, and many more. I landed a role on Prison Break in Season 3 as a character named Tico in a scene with Robert Wisdom, Robert Knepper, Wentworth Miller, and several others and that's when I received my SAG card eligibility. After all of that I began directing and producing Fortune 500 films for Transamerica and a Hollywood film called "The Ningyo" which was directed and worked on by the team from Transformers 3, Thor, and a few other films, which has been picked up by the production company that created the "John Wick" franchise. In addition to my work on Cartoon Network's "One Piece" for voiceovers, I also did motion capture in video games and went on to be a founder on a Video game, toy, app, card game called "The Lightseekers" which is available on Amazon, Toys R Us, and the app store. I also co-produced a video game that will be released on Sony Playstation and was written in TIME magazine called, "Pinstripe." I've taken all of the 20+ years of Entrepreneurship, Life, Acting, Directing, Performing, and Celebrity and turned that into what you see now. I coach individuals and groups on life, entrepreneurship, public speaking, presenting on social media, spirituality and alignment. Most importantly, the thing I've found that seems to be the most valuable, necessary, and missing ingredient to success is alignment and mindset. The delicate combination of all of these aspects is Futuring™. I motivate and inspire because after all of these years of difficulties, ups and downs, and struggles and successes, without mindset, finding my alignment, and tapping into my "Atomic Core," none of the successes would have been possible. You can always find tips, tricks, strategies, marketing angles, clever gadgets, and good copywriting, but to connect with someone who can help you discover your true self so that all of you will be unlocked is one of kind. If I'm the person you know that can help you do just that, then I'm honored and excited to begin working together. Let's begin together now. Be a #nowperson -JB "The Wizard"
Femi dials in all the way from Nigeria to tell us about his novel, Lightseekers. We discuss the exciting route that took him from actor to playwright and then advertising creative to author. Femi's contagious energy is a great boost of inspiration for anyone feeling submission fatigue or worrying about how they are going to break into the industry.
Today I met with Kajal Nisha Patel, who runs Lightseekers, which aims to equipping each of us with tools and knowledge to better manage periods of stress. The aim is to cultivate healthier communities, which are centred around the concept of care. Kajal told me about how she has developed the idea of Lightseekers, and [...]
#35 – Matt Sonnenberg is a man who isn't afraid to try things. He tries something new, learns a valuable lesson, and then moves onto something else. This is a pattern that started with his childhood paper route but and continues with the multiple revenue streams he manages today.His journey takes us through two different attempts at post-secondary education; a path that eventually led him to specialize in brass instrument repair. After a failed solo repair business, Matt ended up at a larger music store but quickly realized that the industry would take a significant amount of time to break into. Leaving there to deliver pizzas, he learned that he enjoyed working for himself where he didn't have to rely on a schedule made by someone else, and that was enough to push him towards another entrepreneurial venture. His first website, a place to assist those purchasing a home, taught him how online advertising worked, and his second website was where he found his niche; the toys-to-life video game genre. He got in early enough during the Skylanders crazy that his website generated $35,000 per year from advertising and affiliate marketing, but eventually the bubble had to burst. Realizing the value of getting in on the ground floor, he switched to the world of card games and started the first direct sales website in North American for the Lightseekers franchise.While all this was going on, Matt had become a regular guest on a few podcasts that specialized in video games due to his expertise in the toys-to-life genre. His positive guest experiences led him to start a podcast of his own with some friends, and when it began to pay for itself through Patreon subscribers, his entrepreneurial side took over once again. Now, Matt splits his time between running his websites, creating Skylanders Youtube content, and working as a podcast advisor and consultant helping others get their ideas off the ground.Matt's projects can be found at the following links:Skylanders WebsiteSkylanders Youtube ChannelLightseekers PodcastPodcast ConsultingPodcast Better______________________To support Career Crossroads, click hereTo leave Career Crossroads a review, click hereYou can find Career Crossroads at careercrossroadspodcast.com or follow us on social mediaInstagram: @career_crossroadsLinkedIn: Career Crossroads PodcastFacebook: Career Crossroads PodcastTwitter: @jcollatonTikTok: @jonathancollaton___________________You can find Career Crossroads at careercrossroads.ca or follow us on social media: Instagram: @career_crossroadsLinkedIn: Career Crossroads PodcastFacebook: Career Crossroads PodcastTikTok: @jonathancollaton

We also have Craig Sisterton back to talk about his #100Days100Books project, and some of his recommendations for upcoming crime fiction.
