DOWNLOAD THIS EPISODE'S AI GENERATED SHOW NOTES (Guest Segment) Follow @andrewhorowitz Vitaliy Katsenelson, born and raised in Murmansk, Russia (the home for Russia‘s northern navy fleet, think Tom Clancy‘s Red October). Immigrated to the US from Russia in 1991 with all his family three brothers, father, and stepmother. His professional career is easily described in one sentence: He invest, He educates, he writes, and he could not dream of doing anything else. He is Chief Investment Officer at Investment Management Associates, Inc (IMA), a value investment firm based in Denver, Colorado. After he received his graduate and undergraduate degrees in finance (cum laude) from the University of Colorado at Denver, and finished his CFA designation, he wanted to keep learning. He figured the best way to learn is to teach. At first he taught an undergraduate class at the University of Colorado at Denver and later a graduate investment class at the same university that he designed based on his day job. He found that the university classroom was not big enough, so he started writing. He writes a monthly column for Institutional Investor Magazine and he has written articles for the Financial Times, Barron‘s, BusinessWeek, Christian Science Monitor, New York Post, and the list goes on. He was profiled in Barron‘s, and has been interviewed by Value Investor Insight, Welling@Weeden, BusinessWeek, BNN, CNBC, and countless radio shows.

With special guest: Dr Sara Webb… in conversation with Bill Kable The title of this program may look as though it will make us doom struck or at least a little gloomy but strangely it does not. This might have something to do with our guest who is so bright and cheery talking about these biggest of the biggest of issues. Dr Sara Webb has written The Little Book of Cosmic Catastrophes (That Could End the World) for a general audience who will be able to get a better understanding of where we have come from and where our Earth and humanity itself will go. Today we talk about what has happened in the distant past, in fact when time began. An amazing number of things had to go just right for the universe as we know it to exist. This goes back to the laws of physics as explored in the recent past by Albert Einstein. Who knew that if the forces between the atomic particles were different, the matter of which we are made simply would not have formed? Podcast (mp3)
Ever wondered why you're instantly drawn to some colours and completely turned off by others? Why certain shades can lift your mood, calm your nerves, give you confidence, or even make you feel uneasy? Colour is far more than decoration. It is a powerful and universal language that speaks directly to our emotions, often without us even realising it. In this episode, host Gabby is joined by Karen Haller, the world's leading expert in Applied Colour Psychology - the study of how colours influence human thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. With over two decades of experience, Karen has helped global brands, designers, and businesses harness the power of colour. Her work goes beyond aesthetics and focuses on shaping how we think, feel, and behave. Karen is also the author of the international bestseller The Little Book of Colour, which has been translated into 14 languages and made the fascinating world of colour psychology accessible to everyone. Together, Gabby and Karen dive into the emotional power of colour. They explore how we can consciously use colour and palettes to nurture our mood, boost creativity, and support our overall sense of wellbeing. Karen also challenges the myths around so-called "gender colours" and unpacks the symbolism behind certain shades; such as why so many banks used to choose blue for their logos to convey trust and reliability. Karen offers fascinating insight into why we are all wired to respond differently to certain hues plus reveals what our personal colour preferences might say about us and even our past! Naturally, Gabby couldn't resist asking the colour expert about rainbows, those magical bursts of light that stir something deep within us all. Karen shares her thoughts into why they move us so profoundly and what they can teach us about colour, emotion, and connection. From the hues that calm our minds to the tones that energise our spaces, this episode explores how colour influences our emotions, behaviours, and wellbeing. It also shows how you can harness its power in your daily life. Whether you're designing a room, choosing an outfit, or simply looking to feel more balanced, this conversation will help you see colour in a whole new light.

A leading astrobiologist "demonstrates how becoming a true space-faring species is more than just humanity's future" (Adam Frank, author of The Little Book of Aliens)--it is an evolutionary event at least as important as life's first journey from sea to land The story of life has always been one of great transitions, of crossing new frontiers. The dawn of life itself is one; so, too, is the first time two cells stuck together rather than drifting apart. And perhaps most dramatic were the moves from the sea to land, land to air. Each transition has witnessed wild storms of innovation, opportunity, and hazard. It might seem that there are no more realms for life to venture. But there is one: space. In The Giant Leap: Why Space Is the Next Frontier in the Evolution of Life (Hachette UK, 2025), astrobiologist Caleb Scharf argues that our journey into space isn't simply a giant leap for humankind--it's life's next great transition, an evolution of evolution itself. Humans and our technology are catalysts for an interplanetary transformation, marking a disruption in the story of life as fundamental as life's movement from sea to land, and land to sky. Inspired by Darwin's account of his journey on the Beagle, and packed with stories from the past, present, and future of space travel, The Giant Leap thrills at both life's creativity and the marvels of technology that have propelled us into the cosmos. And it offers an awesome glimpse of the grander vistas that wait in the great beyond. Learn more about your ad choices.

Whether you're a first-time parent or adding to your family, this episode will give you practical, encouraging steps to feel ready for birth.

What if peace is something already within you, waiting beneath the surface? In this episode, host Elizabeth Mintun talks with psychotherapist and author Ashley Davis Bush, who wrote The Little Book of Inner Peace, The Art and Power of Acceptance, and others. They explore how to move beyond the endless “doing” of our culture and reconnect with the deeper wisdom of simply being. In particular, Ashley addresses how self-compassion and befriending your emotions can be a key to peace, as well as how nature can be a portal to grounding, oneness, and spiritual connection. Whether you've been practicing mindfulness for years or you're just curious about finding more calm in daily life, this conversation offers encouragement and gentle, practical tools for reconnecting with your center.Key TakeawaysMicro practices matter. Peace doesn't require long retreats or hour-long meditations. Small, sacred pauses throughout the day - a breath, a bell, a touchstone - can reconnect us to center.Acceptance is not resignation. Active acceptance, paired with compassion, opens the door to peace and allows us to engage with life in more authentic ways.It's never too late to find peace. No matter your age, life stage, or past experiences, you can learn new ways of engaging with stillness and your inner being.Resources
#181 - Christian Ray Flores' life reads like an epic novel - a childhood marked by upheaval across continents, an improbable rise to pop stardom in Russia, and a profound transformation into a purposeful coach helping others discover their untapped potential.Growing up amid political chaos, Christian experienced firsthand what most of us only read about in history books. By age seven, he had lived through a military coup in Chile that landed his father in a concentration camp, experienced refugee life under UN protection, and witnessed civil war in Mozambique. The constant relocations forced him to absorb four languages by age nine, unwittingly preparing him for a life bridging different worlds and perspectives.When the Soviet Union collapsed around him just as he completed his economics degree, Christian made the unconventional choice to pursue music instead of academia. His gamble paid off spectacularly. Within years, he was performing in sports arenas across 15 countries, selling millions of albums, and even creating the campaign anthem for Boris Yeltsin's pivotal election against communist forces. Yet at the pinnacle of success, he found himself clinically depressed - a paradox that would later inform his coaching philosophy.The turning point came through spiritual transformation and marriage to an American woman who saw past his celebrity to the person beneath. After transitioning to life in America, Christian discovered his calling as a coach for high-achievers who, like his former self, might appear successful on paper while feeling incomplete or imbalanced within.His unique approach helps clients recognize when they're "fighting with one hand tied behind their back" - achieving impressive results while leaving their most powerful gifts dormant. Through his Exponential Life coaching program, he helps entrepreneurs, executives, and creatives untie that second hand and experience breakthrough performance aligned with their deepest purpose.What makes Christian's perspective so valuable is that he's lived at both extremes - from refugee facilities to celebrity mansions, from communist oppression to American opportunity. This journey fueled his book "Little Book of Big Reasons to Love America," which offers a refreshing immigrant perspective on American possibility in an age of cynicism.Want to discover what might be dormant in your own life? Connect with Christian's coaching programs and begin your own journey toward exponential growth and authentic purpose.To learn more about Christian's coaching programs and his book check out his website xponential.life.

Text us, PsyclithidsWhat happens to an adventurer after the dragon burns their village, or when they fail to save an innocent life? In this episode, we dive deep into the psychology of defense mechanisms—the unconscious strategies people use to protect themselves from overwhelming stress—and explore how they can shape roleplay at the table.Drawing from the work of Sigmund Freud and Anna Freud, we'll unpack four core defenses—repression, denial, rationalization, and projection—and show how they can bring depth and realism to your characters. You'll hear practical examples of how both players and Dungeon Masters can weave these coping strategies into their games to create more immersive, emotionally resonant storytelling.Plus, in the Tricks of the Trade segment, we'll break down how to use in-character defense mechanisms in subtle, believable ways that enhance immersion without slowing the pace of play.Whether you're a player looking to breathe life into your character's trauma or a DM wanting to design encounters that challenge the party on more than just hit points, this episode will give you the tools to make your game world feel more human—and more unforgettable.

In this week's episode of the show, I sit down with Justin Evans, author of The Little Book of Data, to talk about what it means to truly think like a data person. Justin shares insights from his 20-year career in data and advertising, reflecting on why so many professionals struggle to embrace data and how his book helps break down those barriers. We discuss the “four layers of data denial,” the qualities that make someone a data person, and the importance of storytelling in making data engaging and useful. Justin also offers stories from Nielsen, Samsung, and beyond to illustrate how data literacy and visualization can create clarity, solve problems, and unlock value.

Text us, PsyclithidsHave you ever made a choice for your D&D character that felt like a betrayal? You know, when your Lawful Good Paladin lies, or your nature-loving Ranger fells a sacred tree?

What does it take for a self-published author to turn a niche book into a best-seller—and then hand it over to a traditional publisher for its second edition? Erik Hanberg did just that with "The Little Book of Boards: A Board Member's Handbook for Small and Very Small Nonprofits". His journey offers lessons in entrepreneurship, publishing strategy, and the business of thought leadership. In this episode, Erik shares how his early board experiences shaped his expertise and sparked a desire to help others avoid common pitfalls. What started as trial by fire became a passion for teaching—and a book that has sold more than 40,000 copies. By targeting a highly specific audience, he created a resource that spread by word of mouth, bulk orders, and Amazon's niche algorithms. We explore the business side of publishing, from self-funded ads that fueled sales growth to negotiating with a Big 5 imprint for the book's second edition. Erik reveals the financial trade-offs between steady monthly royalties as an independent author and the broader reach a publisher's distribution network can provide. He also explains how he negotiated a contract that protected his long-term interests. Beyond sales, Erik talks about the opportunities that came once he became “the guy who wrote the book.” From board retreats across the country to consulting engagements, his authorship opened doors that no marketing campaign alone could create. And as AI reshapes how people access answers, Erik reflects on why human experience, frameworks, and authenticity still matter in thought leadership. If you've ever wondered how to transform expertise into a platform, or how to balance independence with institutional backing, Erik's story is both practical and inspiring. Three Key Takeaways: • Niche sells big. By writing The Little Book of Boards for small and very small nonprofits, Erik reached the largest segment in the nonprofit space—and sold more than 50,000 copies. • Publishing is strategy, not luck. Erik turned modest sales into consistent revenue by investing in Amazon ads, then leveraged his track record to negotiate a traditional publishing deal on his terms. • Books open doors. Beyond royalties, authorship positioned Erik as an authority, leading to nationwide consulting and board retreat opportunities—proof that thought leadership creates business growth far beyond the page. If Erik Hanberg's story showed you how a single book can spark authority and open doors in the nonprofit world, you'll want to hear how Andrew Button is doing the same—this time in local communities. Andrew shares how thought leadership builds courage, activates ideas, and fuels grassroots change. Don't just think about scaling ideas nationally—see how they thrive locally, too.

In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli speaks with Justin Evans, a seasoned executive and author of The Little Book of Data. With a career spanning leadership roles at major media and tech firms including Microsoft, NBCUniversal, and Paramount, Evans brings a rare combination of commercial acumen and data fluency to the conversation. His insights offer a refreshing—and deeply practical—framework for how senior leaders should think about data, not as a technical layer, but as a strategic lens.Far too often, CEOs and boards delegate “data” to specialists, only to find themselves disconnected from the systems shaping growth, innovation, and increasingly, AI-driven decision-making. Evans challenges that mindset. He argues that data is now a core leadership discipline—and avoiding it is no longer an option. But here's the twist: embracing data doesn't require becoming a data scientist. It requires leading with the right posture, questions, and level of clarity.Throughout the conversation, Evans offers real-world stories, from nonprofits reducing senior loneliness using conversational analytics, to multinationals unlocking hidden growth by surfacing unused operational data. What sets his thinking apart is not just the depth of his data expertise, but how convincingly he ties it back to purpose, impact, and leadership judgment.This is not a technical conversation. It's a strategic one. And for leaders wondering how to navigate a world increasingly shaped by algorithms, dashboards, and machine learning, this episode is both a wake-up call and a guidepost. If you've ever felt a step behind in the data conversation—or feared being sidelined in the age of AI—this dialogue will help you reframe and reengage with confidence.Actionable Takeaways:Hear how Justin Evans reframes data as a leadership language, not a technical specialty—and what that means for the C-suiteYou'll learn why humility and confidence are the twin mindsets leaders need to lead well in a data-driven worldHear how to spot the untapped 8% of growth potential that may be hiding in your organization's existing dataDiscover how great leaders crystallize complexity—and why that's the superpower that separates insight from noiseYou'll learn what to do when you feel out of your depth in technical conversations—and why that moment can be your greatest advantageHear why delegating understanding can quietly erode strategic control—and how to reclaim it without micromanagingLearn the real reason some executives quietly bounce off data-driven initiatives—and what to do to avoid itGain a framework for using data as a force multiplier for purpose and innovation, not just reportingHear how AI is beginning to create its own data streams—and what leaders must do to ensure alignment with mission and impactDiscover the kinds of questions leaders should be asking of their data teams—and why asking better questions is more important than knowing the answersConnect with Justin EvansJustin Evans LinkedIn The Little Book of Data: Understanding the Powerful Analytics that Fuel AI, Make or Break Careers, and Could Just End Up Saving the WorldConnect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website
