We finally hear the first words from Beatrice's mouth. (We've heard her before but as told by Virgil in INFERNO, Canto II.) She is certainly not person we expected. She's the admiral controlling her ship.She names the pilgrim, names herself, and gets very close to blasphemy in a passage that defies our expectations, about as revelation should.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, for the moment that Beatrice takes center stage in Dante's masterwork, COMEDY.If you'd like to help underwrite this podcast, please consider a one-time donation or a very small monthly stipend, using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:33] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXX, Lines 55 - 78.

The parade of revelation has stopped and everything holds its breath for what comes next.She's veiled, behind scattered flowers. But Beatrice arrives, in the place of Jesus Christ, her second coming, her advent in the victory chariot.And as she arrives, Virgil disappears from COMEDY. (Statius, too, even if he's still standing next to the pilgrim.) This moment is perhaps the climax of the poem as we have understood it up until now. From here on, everything changes. We have moved out of time and into a world beyond human reason. It's a cause for rejoicing but also for great sadness.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:13] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXX, Lines 22 - 54.

BOSSes, Anne Ganguzza and her superpower co-host, Lau Lapides, assert that subtext in voice acting is the single most important element for delivering a powerful, unique, and castable performance. The bosses challenge the common mistake of literal reading, offering practical strategies—from audience analysis to efficient marking—that elevate a performance from predictable to profound. Chapter Summaries: Subtext Defines Uniqueness (01:00) Lau states that subtext—the underlying interpretation of a line—is what makes a talent unique. The hosts explain that relying solely on obvious language or descriptive adjectives leads to predictable, robot-like reads. The true power lies in making nuanced choices about what the words really mean to the listener. Audience and Empathy are Everything (02:44) Subtext is entirely dependent on who you are talking to. Anne uses the example of corporate narration: the subtext for an investor (focused on financial facts) is different from the subtext for a consumer (focused on customer service and product benefits). The acting choice must be rooted in empathy and understanding what the listener cares about. The Structural Journey of the Script (14:30) Every script has a structural journey: introduction, series of steps, and conclusion. The subtext should align with this journey. The hosts emphasize that if you are running out of breath , it is the dead giveaway that you did not prepare the story, as natural conversation doesn't require breath struggle. Techniques for Finding the Subtext (22:34) To efficiently analyze copy, the hosts recommend: Improv and Translate: Improvise the script in your own words to capture the genuine emotional wash and then plug the original words back in. Marking: Use clear broadcast-style marking to denote phrasing and intent, but also pay attention to the ellipses and punctuation for clues about the emotional context. Use AI as a Tool: Paste ambiguous scripts into an AI tool (like a chatbot) and ask, "What is the purpose of this script? Who cares about this information?" to provide a jumping-off point for human interpretation. Avoiding the Literal Trap (23:37) The hosts caution against taking common acting advice too literally. For example, constant smiling throughout a read, or persistent upspeak at the end of every sentence, sounds unnatural and is perceived as not genuine. Your performance must always reflect how you would behave and sound in a real-world conversation. The Brilliance of a Point of View (25:16) Subtext gives you a clear point of view. The hosts provide a simple example: saying "Are you wearing those pants?" can be interpreted in dramatically different ways (anger, excitement, disgust) depending on the subtext. This intentional interpretation is what makes your audition unique and elevates it above the predictable melody. Top 10 Takeaways for Voice Actors: Subtext is Everything: The emotional core and underlying meaning of your script is what makes your performance unique and castable. Analyze Your Audience: Base your subtext on who the listener is (consumer, investor, business-to-business) and what they care about most. Translate into Your Own Words: Use the "improv and translate" technique to efficiently find the genuine emotional wash before recording. Embrace Emotional Ambiguity: Simple sentences can hold complex, contrasting subtext. That complexity is your unique acting choice. Use AI to Find Backstory: Use AI as an analysis tool to find information about the brand and the script's purpose, but always apply your human interpretation. Pacing is Preparation: If you struggle for breath, you have not prepared the story correctly. Good actors always know how to naturally navigate long sentences. Mark for Meaning: Pay close attention to punctuation and structure (ellipses, introductions, conclusions) as cues for shifts in subtext. Avoid the Literal Trap: Do not read adjectives literally (e.g., constant smiling). Your emotional choice must align with authenticity, not simple description. The Share is the Subtext: Your goal is to share the story with the listener, not talk at them or talk in your head. Point of View Stands Out: An audition with a clear, intentional point of view, even if surprising, will always get shortlisted over a generic, predictable read.

The grand parade of revelation has come to a stop across Lethe from our pilgrim, Virgil, and Statius. Everything seems to hold its breath: the constellations stop moving, the crowd goes quiet, one voice calls out for the bride, then a hundred angels appear, calling out for the groom . . . which is surely Jesus, right?We seem to be on the verge of a celestial marriage ceremony, the mystic union of Jesus and his church . . . except Virgil's AENEID gets the last word and darkens the scene considerably.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we stand in expectation at the top of Mount Purgatory for the arrival of . . . somebody.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:24] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXX, Lines 1 - 21.

Send us a textFor the first episode of 2026 (YAY!!) I thought it would be a good idea to bring out the "scope of practice" episode I did a while ago.You're going to get bombarded with ads for mealplans, personal trainers, gyms etc over the next few weeks and it can be very confusing as to who is actually qualified to say what.There are a tonne of Personal Trainers out there doing specific individual mealplans, and meal plan companies giving exercise advice, and it's important for customers to know why they are not actually the right people to listen to.So that's what today's episode is about; Who can do what, and why. So that you can exercise, train, diet, rehab etc safely and efficiently :)Just a reminder that HPNB only has 5 billing cycles!So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

In this episode, Adrienne breaks down the four pathways every business can use to fund growth: debt, equity, revenue power plays, and asset leverage. She explains why under-capitalization kills more businesses than bad ideas and shares the mindset and structure required to become “fundable.”Key Takeaways: You cannot scale without funding. Capital is strategy, not luck. Debt preserves ownership; equity accelerates growth. Revenue power plays can create cash-on-demand without outside capital. Fundable companies have clean financials, predictable revenue, capable owners, and clear systems. Capital flows to companies that look prepared, not desperate. What You'll Learn: The 4 capital pathways every CEO must understand How to choose the right funding method for your next stage How to prepare your company to receive capital What lenders and investors really look for The financial mistakes that kill funding opportunities Resources: Mogul Chix Guide to Getting VC Funding- https://mogulchix.com/product/mogul-chix-guide-vc-funding/Funding School ™- http://academy.mogulchix.com/funding-school/

This podcast is the audio version of the Gear Garage Live Show, where we answer submitted questions and talk all things whitewater. Episode Summary In this end-of-year edition, Zach tackles the nitty-gritty of personal rescue equipment (PRE), specifically nerding out on the materials and dimensions of fliplines. The show moves into a masterclass on cataraft frame setup and a high-stakes discussion on the realities of recovering heavy gear boats in swift water—a scenario Zach describes as "a marathon, not a sprint." To wrap things up, Zach clarifies the often-confused vocabulary between Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Personal Rescue Equipment (PRE). Highlights The 5mm Flipline Debate: A deep dive into whether ultra-thin Dyneema is practical for flipping rafts. While it saves space, Zach explains why "grabbability" often trumps strength and weight. Cataraft Rigging Theory: Zach discusses the "center of mass" vs. "center of pivot" debate when setting up an oar frame and why your seating position should change based on whether you're pushing through big waves or dropping into technical holes. The "Bulldozing" Technique: When an 18-foot gear boat flips in 15 mph current, towing with a rope is often a recipe for disaster. Zach breaks down why pushing (bulldozing) the boat is safer and more effective. PPE vs. PRE: A vocabulary lesson for guides. PPE is what protects you (helmet, PFD, knife), while PR is the gear used to rescue others (throw bags, pin kits, fliplines). Technical Deep Dive: Fliplines and Towing Nerd-Out: Flipline Materials A viewer asked about making a custom flipline from 5mm braided HMPE (Dyneema). While the material is incredibly strong (often stronger than the carabiners it's attached to), Zach warns that thin diameter rope is punishing on the hands. A flipline's primary job is to be grabbed under duress. Zach's preference is a slightly wider, low-friction webbing that slides easily over carabiners for mechanical advantage systems but remains easy to grip when you're standing on an overturned floor. The Reality of Gear Boat Recovery Recovering a flipped gear boat in continuous, swift water (like the Alsek or certain sections of the Grand Canyon) is one of the most exhausting tasks in rafting. Zach emphasizes: Avoid Lines: Tying two boats together in swift current can lead to a tangled, hazardous mess. Downstream Safety: If a boat flips, someone needs to "bomb down" immediately to act as a catcher's mitt with a rope from shore. Communication: The best recovery happens during the scout. If the recovery looks brutal, talk about the plan before anyone flips. Gear Mentioned River Hardware Flipline: A 14mm ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene line designed for low friction and high grabbability. SOTAR Legend Cataraft: Discussed in the context of frame setup and how to rig for day trips vs. loaded overnights.
This episode continues the Mishnah Berurah's detailed analysis of the laws of writing on Shabbat, expanding beyond the Shulchan Aruch's brief treatment. It clarifies when writing two letters creates biblical liability, including cases where letters are written on separate surfaces that can be read together. The discussion covers writing in abnormal ways (left hand, foot, mouth), writing through another person, destructive writing, artistic designs, appliqué letters, puzzles and letter games, erasing in order to correct or rewrite, and scoring or marking lines for writing, cutting, or construction. The episode concludes with practical distinctions between biblical and rabbinic prohibitions, including leniencies such as temporary fingernail marks used only as reminders, and why these differences matter for real-life Shabbat observance.
In this episode of Geopolitics with Ghost, Ghost breaks down the long anticipated Trump–Netanyahu meeting and the global reactions surrounding it. Going beyond headlines, he walks through the full press conference, examining tone, body language, and what was said, and not said, about Gaza, Hamas disarmament, the West Bank, Iran, Turkey, Syria, Hezbollah, and the Abraham Accords. Ghost also explores Netanyahu's legal troubles, Trump's comments on Iran and nuclear negotiations, and the broader implications for Middle East power dynamics. The episode expands into Russia and Ukraine, including the drone incident near President Putin's residence, Lavrov's warning, and what it signals for ongoing negotiations. Ghost closes with deeper historical context, economic considerations, and pattern recognition across conflict zones, tying food scarcity, terrorism, and global influence together into a larger geopolitical framework.

How to Build a Business Fortress: Liquidity, Cash Flow, and Exit Readiness with David Barnett Build a Business Fortress: Why Liquidity Beats Leverage and Most Businesses Never Sell Most owners assume the big payoff will come when they finally sell the business. The hard truth is that roughly 80 percent of small businesses listed for sale never actually sell as going concerns. The real payoff is in the years of ownership: the cash flow you extract, the wealth you build outside the business, and the resilience you create so you can survive the next punch in the face. In this episode of Profit Answer Man, David Barnett, author of The Business Fortress, joins me to talk about how to make your company stronger, safer, and more valuable long before you ever talk to a buyer. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Cash Flow Problems Are Symptoms, Not Causes. Owners often shout "I have a cash flow problem" and immediately reach for more sales or more debt. David reminds us that cash flow pain is usually a symptom of a broken model: mispriced services, hidden payroll costs, or not truly knowing what it costs to deliver your product. A missing 4–5 percent in labor burden or benefits can wipe out half your planned profit before you even notice. Liquidity Is More Powerful Than Leverage. Everyone celebrates "other people's money." David flips the script: leverage depends on someone else's lending decision; liquidity is under your control. Lines of credit can be cut, termed out, or called just when you need them most. A healthy cash reserve inside your business lets you ride out downturns and seize opportunities when competitors stumble. Growth Can Quietly Crush Your Cash. On paper, growth looks amazing. In reality, fast growth often demands a massive "investment in accounts receivable." You hire staff, buy equipment, and deliver work long before you get paid. Without a plan for the cash gap, owners end up borrowing heavily just to float receivables, which weakens the balance sheet and increases risk. The Real Risk: Will Cash Flow Continue After You Leave? Buyers ask two questions: "What is the cash flow?" and "Will this cash flow continue after I become the owner?" The second question determines whether they do the deal at all and what terms they demand. If all the goodwill lives in you as the owner, or in a few concentrated customers, the risk to the buyer skyrockets and the value of the business drops. Most Businesses Never Actually Sell. David shares a sobering statistic: about 80 percent of businesses listed on the big marketplaces never sell as operating companies. Some equipment may get sold off, but the business itself doesn't transfer. That's why he urges owners to build wealth both inside and outside the business, treat the company as a cash-flowing asset, and have a plan B that does not depend on a big exit check. Key Takeaway: Treat your business like a fortress you're slowly building over time: strengthen cash flow, build liquidity, reduce dependence on debt, and design the company so cash flow continues even after you step away. Bio: Barnett loves to say that it took him 10 years to un-learn what he was taught in business school. University had trained him to be a middle-manager in big enterprises, he was totally unprepared for the realities of small business. After a career in advertising sales, Barnett started several businesses including a commercial debt brokerage house. Helping to finance small and medium sized businesses led to the field of business brokerage. Over several years, Barnett sold dozens of businesses for others while also managing his own portfolio of income properties and starting his career as a local private investor. Barnett regularly consults with professionals and banks on business and asset values. Presently he also works with entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs around the world who are buying, selling or trying to improve their businesses.

It's about creating a company that produces steady cash flow, protects you when the economy tightens, and gives you real options for the future. As David Barnett reminds us, the real payoff is in the years you own the business—not in a sale that may or may not happen. When you prioritize liquidity, understand your true costs, reduce dependence on debt, and build wealth outside the business, you create a fortress that can withstand storms and deliver lasting freedom. The question isn't whether your business will sell someday—it's whether it's strong enough to support the life you want today. #ProfitAnswerMan #BusinessFortress #CashFlow #SmallBusinessFinance #Liquidity #ExitPlanning #BusinessSale #Entrepreneurship #BusinessOwner #FinancialFreedom Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

Friday means 5-Star Movie Reviews, and Andy Peth doesn't pull any punches. Joined by co-hosts Luke and Ashley, Andy dives deep into two very different films—asking the question every moviegoer wants answered: Is this worth my time? Andy opens with Marty Supreme, a performance-driven drama anchored by Timothée Chalamet. While Andy praises Chalamet's acting as elite—possibly among the year's best—he calls the film exhausting, overly long, and emotionally draining. His verdict? 2.5 stars overall, with a strong performance buried inside a movie many viewers may find frustrating or boring. Is great acting enough if you don't enjoy the story? Next up is Anaconda, a comedic adventure starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black. Andy appreciates the cast, the shorter runtime, and a handful of funny moments—but says the script, humor, and pacing fall short. His final score: 1.5 stars for quality, calling it watchable but forgettable. Which movie divides audiences the most? Which one sounds like a total miss—or a guilty curiosity? Andy breaks it down so you don't waste your movie night. Marty Supreme - Review begins at 17:39 * ⭐ Quality: ⭐⭐½ (Andy's personal take: ⭐½) *
The pilgrim has found the perfect perch to see the full scope and length of the parade of allegories at the top of the Mount Purgatory in the garden of Eden.After the griffin and its chariot come seven merry women and seven more somber men. They are complex allegories that have inspired much debate.More than that, they are also an atemporal moment, something outside of chronological time, the way revelation most often happens.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we look more closely at the end of the (first half of the) apocalyptic parade our pilgrim witnesses from across the river Lethe.If you'd like to help with the many costs of this podcast, please consider a very small monthly stipend or a one-time gift, using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:13] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, Lines 121 - 154.

Over the holidays, we're rebroadcasting some of our favorite interviews from 2025. President Donald Trump this summer set off an unusual mid-decade redistricting scramble after he asked Republican-led states to redraw their congressional districts to give the GOP more seats in Congress. California Democrats responded with their own new map, which voters approved through Proposition 50 in November. Scott and Marisa discuss the history of gerrymandering with Los Angeles Times writer James Rainey, taking us back to an earlier era when it was a regular part of California's political landscape.

The parade goes on to include a Roman, two-wheeled, victory chariot between the four animals. It's a brilliant moment, a chariot better than even famous Roman conquerors got, pulled by a griffin, a legendary two-natured creature . . . yet with a curious moment of emptiness right in all of the victory.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we continue deeper into the allegory of the parade of revelation at the top of Mount Purgatory.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:32] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, lines 106 - 120.

Before October 7th, Trump’s second term and the election of Zohran Mamdani rocked New York’s Jewish community, Manhattan’s famed 92nd Street Y – like most mainstream Jewish institutions – played it relatively safe when it came to programs about Israel. Susan Engel, executive producer of the 92nd St. Y Talks, tells the Haaretz Podcast that the famed Manhattan cultural center has undergone “a soul-searching since October 7 around our own Jewish identity and around who we are as a Jewish institution. And I think we've had to double down on our values and what it means to present different views, sometimes critical of Israel – because it's important to hear what someone else who thinks differently” has to say. Her audiences – in-person and the millions who watch her events online – she believes, greatly “appreciate” the fact that she can bring together people who “really disagree strongly” yet can “have a conversation and be civil.” At the same time, she said, the Y – founded as a center for Jewish life and culture in 1874 – experienced a boycott and staff walkouts after October 7 – maintains “red lines.” They will not platform those who have expressed “homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic” views or “if we feel that someone believes that Israel should be destroyed.” On the podcast, Engel also discusses the big-name cultural, political and Hollywood figures who have taken to the 92nd St. Y stage, including a recent appearance by Rob Reiner, who died tragically earlier this month, the art of creating an intimate space for interviews when millions are watching, and her experience as a judge at the Jerusalem Jewish Film Festival.

Big Tobacco's playbook is back — just with better branding and candy flavors. Jessica Wynn clears the air about vaping here on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1260On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Vapes don't produce harmless vapor. They emit aerosol, a "chemical soup" containing nicotine, heavy metals like lead and nickel, formaldehyde, and ultrafine particles that penetrate deep into lungs where filtration is impossible.JUUL revolutionized addiction by using nicotine salts instead of freebase nicotine — lowering the pH for smoother hits at higher concentrations, delivering a faster brain rush with less coughing, and packing one pod with the equivalent of an entire pack of cigarettes.Many vapes labeled "nicotine-free" actually contain nicotine when tested, and secondhand aerosol isn't safe either — it deposits residue on surfaces, harms pets, and exposes bystanders to the same toxic cocktail inhaled by the vaper.The same playbook Big Tobacco used for decades — targeting kids, using candy flavors, buying off scientists, and fighting regulation — is now deployed through sleeker devices and better branding.Quitting is possible, and the tools actually work. Programs like the Truth Initiative's "This Is Quitting" show 40% higher quit rates, and texting DITCHVAPE to 88709 connects you with free, judgment-free support designed for real people fighting real addiction.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
