Jessie, unsere PR-Partymaus mit Hang zu Designerbags und Gratis-Drinks, feiert den neusten Marketing-Move des Berlin Marathons: den ON-Running Rave in frecher Kooperation mit HEISSS im Kraftwerk Berlin. Zoe dagegen kriegt schon beim Gedanken daran hysterische Schnappatmung. Live vom LOST ART Festival diskutieren die beiden vor Publikum über ihr liebstes Streitthema: Sind Corporate Raves die Zukunft oder verkaufen wir damit endgültig unsere Szene? Hört rein, wenn ihr wissen wollt, warum Jessie „YES“ schreit und Zoe eher „HELL NO“. Welches Team bist du und warum?

Did God really say you can't do this, or you can't do that? This kind of thought gets in our minds and then we nurture the thought. We cultivate the thought and so begins the process of eventually firing God and replacing him with me, ourselves, and off the rails we go to live happily ever after, or maybe not. So let me just bring this down to us again. I want to keep warning us to not let this stir up in us anger with finger pointed to some group out there, that is absolutely fruitless, if not outright uncchristian.The thing for us to do is draw this onto ourselves. So let me show you what I mean. I am at the center of futile thinking. At the center of futile thinking, in other words, is the me and everything the me wants. I want to do what I want to do. I know best. I think this is good. I think that is right. I want to do whatever I feel like doing. What's true for me is true for me, even if it's not actually true. If I think it's true or want it to be true or think it should be true, then it is true enough for me even if it is not objectively or actually true according to reality as established by God. And if all of this is starting to sound just a tad bit absurd, then I am communicating very clearly because it is.

Do notifications interrupt meals, meetings—even your thoughts? Tired with no hard work to blame? Your attention didn't disappear—it was taken. Dr. Zelana Montminy holds a doctorate in clinical psychology, trained in nutrition at Cornell, wrote 21 Days to Resilience, and advises Fortune 500 companies. She exposes how modern life trains your brain for distraction, and shows you how to take your focus back without more apps, hacks, or guilt. Here's what you'll discover inside this episode: The truth about “phone addiction”: Why you're not addicted to the device—you're addicted to escaping discomfort, and how to break that loop. The 23-minute switch cost: What task-switching really does to your brain and nervous system—and simple monotasking resets that restore clarity. From fight/flight to calm: How pings, tabs, and notifications keep you dysregulated—and practical ways to downshift your physiology fast. Boredom as a superpower: Why doing nothing can be more powerful than meditation for rebuilding attention—and how to practice it daily. Morning priming, fixed: The single habit that hijacks your focus before your feet hit the floor—and a three-minute alternative that protects your day. Rewriting your reward loops: Dopamine, novelty, and cravings—how to design “friction” and set a realistic dopamine budget that sticks. Environment by default: Notification triage, home-screen layout, and workspace cues that make focus automatic (and distraction annoying). Attention training that works: Short, science-backed micro-exercises to lengthen your focus span and reduce the urge to check. Boundaries that hold: Simple scripts to protect dinner, date night, and deep work—without becoming “that person” glued to their phone. Real-world playbooks: The habits Dr. Montminy teaches in companies and schools to restore mental bandwidth—adapted for your life. This isn't more willpower. It's behavioral science meeting practical, humane habits. Walk away with a clear plan to reclaim your focus, calm your nervous system, and feel genuinely rested again. Don't miss this conversation. Join the rebellion against digital distraction and start getting your attention back today. 0:00 - Introduction 2:17 - Rapid Fire Questions 4:29 - The Hidden Truth: We're Addicted to Escaping Being Human 12:10 - Digital Addiction is Actually Escapism Addiction 15:06 - The 23-Minute Rule: Why Task Switching is Exhausting Your Brain 23:49 - The Lost Art of Boredom: Why It's More Powerful Than Meditation 29:26 - Morning Phone Habit 35:36 - Parenting in the Digital Age 49:22 - Practical Strategies: Reclaiming Your Attention Without Apps or Hacks 54:02 - The Power of Micro-Boredom 1:00:00 - Modeling Focus for Kids: What You Do Matters More Than What You Say 1:05:02 - Hope for Phone Addicts

Hey — have you ever wondered if it's actually possible to do nothing anymore? Lately I've been thinking about how my time is filled up with constant doing, and how the second boredom appears we reach for our phones to fill it. What if there's a different answer: simply being present, without an agenda? I want to tell you about a time when I did nothing and it mattered. I remember being sick years ago, walking to a hillside with a pad, paints and water, and sitting there for an hour and a half just taking in the view and painting. I wasn't thinking about anything, and for the first time in ages, I felt genuinely connected to that moment. I even framed that little piece and stuck the story on the back so my son will have it one day — little reminders like that matter. These days the challenge is our devices. We're so used to constant input that silence feels strange — maybe even a bit scary. But I don't think we're meant to be constantly engaged. There's a gentle kind of flow where nothing is taxing: just noticing, breathing, and being with what's around you. Cats do it naturally; we could try to relearn it. I'm going to make space this week to unplug and find a quiet spot in nature just to be, and I'd love for you to try it too. Don't make it complicated — sit somewhere new, or even look at something familiar with fresh eyes, take a few deep breaths, and see what comes. If you do it, tell me how it felt. I'll report back on what I learn. Thanks for being here with me on this little experiment in slowing down. If this resonated, give it a go — step away from the screen for a moment and notice the world. I'll catch you next time.   For more information of LB&B, check out the links below, and if you found this useful, consider buying me a coffee below.       Life Passion & Business Podcast is about finding answers to life's big questions through weekly interviews with guest speakers.

Speed reading might sound impressive, but research shows that slowing down can actually improve comprehension, retention, and enjoyment. In this opening segment, we explore why reading at a slower pace could be the real key to getting the most out of your books and articles. https://www.bustle.com/p/7-reasons-slow-reading-is-actually-a-good-thing-because-being-a-speed-reader-is-overrated-73092 On average, people juggle about 22 goals at any given time — but chasing all of them often leads to frustration and burnout. My guest, Jon Acuff, bestselling speaker and author of nine books, including All It Takes is a Goal (https://amzn.to/3PtSiOF), shares a fresh, motivating approach to goal setting. Learn how to identify the goals that truly matter, let go of the ones that don't, and build momentum toward the ones that can change your life. “It's raining cats and dogs,” “go cold turkey,” “know the ropes” — we say these things all the time, but rarely stop to ask where they originated. Caroline Taggart, longtime publishing professional and author of Humble Pie and Cold Turkey: English Expressions and Their Origins (https://amzn.to/3ZazBTw), takes us on a fun journey into the surprising and sometimes bizarre backstories of the phrases we use every day. Winning arguments isn't easy — but there's one simple strategy that dramatically improves your chances. In this closing segment, I share the key insight from Mike Nichols, author of The Lost Art of Listening (https://amzn.to/3ErzkSy), that can help you argue smarter, connect better, and maybe even change a few minds.

In a compelling podcast discussion between coaches Eric Johnson and Aaron Thigpen, a critical issue emerges in modern athletics: the diminishing ability of young athletes to physically express themselves with confidence and aggression.

There are conversations we avoid, not because they are meaningless, but because they are too meaningful. Death is one of those conversations.
And yet, as today's guest so gently and powerfully reminds us, speaking of death is not morbid. It is liberating.My guest is Johanna Lunn, a multi-award-winning filmmaker, producer, and the visionary behind the When You Die Project.
Through her deeply moving trilogy of films, including In the Realm of Death & Dreaming, Saying Goodbye, and Architecture of Death, she has opened space for a cultural dialogue we desperately need, one that begins at the end, but does not end there.In this episode, we speak of what it means to prepare for death,
why Swedish Death Cleaning is not about minimalism, but about legacy, and how near-death experiences, deathbed visions, and liminal dreams might not be fantasy, but memory.As someone who lost my father this year and as someone who lives at the intersection of healthspan, longevity, and the search for meaning, I feel this conversation in my bones.
Because what we avoid holds power over us.
But what we name, we can walk with.So I invite you now into this sacred conversation: soft, subversive, and filled with grace.Episode highlights: 07:45 Johanna's early encounters with profound loss and the silence that followed11:00 Grief as an untold story — how broken hearts can create art, movements, and meaning14:00 A pivotal moment at the bedside: discovering that dying can be held in love16:30 Storytelling as a bridge to “death literacy”17:15 What it means to die consciously — from Swedish death cleaning to life review23:15 How preparing for death can also deepen how we live24:15 Near-death experiences and deathbed visions as memories, not fantasies27:00 Why NDEs feel “realer than real” and what they reveal about consciousness33:15 Signs, synchronicities, and the continued presence of loved ones35:15 Opening family conversations about dying across generations38:00 The “architecture of death” — the rooms, passageways, and mystery of the final months42:30 Terminal lucidity, the “pickup team,” and traveling language of the dying47:15 How families change as a loved one dies — why part of us also dies with them49:00 If death had a message for our hyper-busy world: let goDeath is not the opposite of life, but part of its wholeness. In a culture that hurries past loss, this episode teaches us how to recover the forgotten language of dying and grieving — showing us how remembering death can teach us to live more fully.Resources mentioned:When You Die Project — https://whenyoudie.orgIn the Realm of Death and Dreaming (Film by Johanna Lunn) — https://whenyoudie.orgSaying Goodbye (Film by Johanna Lunn) — https://whenyoudie.orgThe Architecture of Death (Film by Johanna Lunn) — https://whenyoudie.orgBarbara Karnes, RN — https://bkbooks.comDivision of Perceptual Studies (University of Virginia) — https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studiesInternational Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) — https://iands.orgDean Radin, PhD — Institute of Noetic Sciences — https://noetic.orgLinkedIn https://ca.linkedin.com/in/johannajlunnFacebook https://www.facebook.com/whenyoudiecommunityX

Josiah Jones joins us for a message all about bringing God's people back to the focus of Jesus' ministry, and the ministry of the apostles - to make disciples. All the options of content to consume, fixes to implement, shortcuts to try when it come growing in our faith, they all fall short. Jesus has given us the strategy that works - Be discipled and make disciples.

Send us a textHow often do we really listen—without judgment, without interruption, without rushing to fix? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Zee reveals why listening is more than a parenting skill—it's a bridge to understanding and guiding the next generation.A child and adolescent psychiatrist, global youth advocate, and founder of Listen to the KidZ, Dr. Zee shares her journey from immigrant roots to leading a worldwide movement that amplifies youth voices. We dive into how adults can move from control to guidance, why “one-size-fits-all” parenting fails, and how communication can change a child's life trajectory.Whether you're a parent, teacher, leader, or mentor, this episode challenges you to look at how you engage with young people—and what you might learn in return. --- Join us for enlightening discussions that spark growth and exploration. Hosted by Joey Pinz, this Discipline Conversations Podcast offers insights and inspiration. 

In this class, Rabbi Bernath reframed the very idea of confession in Judaism. While most people think of confession as listing sins and failures, the Torah introduces Vidui Ma'aser, a “confession” where the farmer proudly declares to G-d that he has fulfilled every detail of the mitzvah of tithing. Why would the Torah call this a confession? Because true spiritual growth begins not by beating ourselves down, but by acknowledging the good we've done. When we confess our strengths, we build the confidence and clarity to face our shortcomings without despair.Confession, then, isn't meant to break us, it's meant to fix us. It's not about shame; it's about uncovering the truth that we are divine souls who sometimes fall short but are always capable of rising higher. By celebrating our goodness first, we create the spiritual courage to transform our failures into growth.Key TakeawaysConfession in Judaism isn't only about failure: The Torah's “tithing confession” is actually a declaration of success.Celebrate your victories: By verbalizing what you've done right, you strengthen your belief in your own holiness and capacity.Healthy confession = owning both sides: “I am good and capable, and that's why this mistake doesn't fit me, and I can do better.”Encouragement inspires growth: Just as children thrive when parents highlight strengths before weaknesses, we too change more when we see ourselves through the lens of goodness.Chassidic joy in confession: Like the Baal Shem Tov's cantor, we can sing our confessions, not out of arrogance or denial, but because cleansing the soul is a joyful act of uncovering diamonds beneath the dirt.Confession challenge: In the next 24 hours, “confess” something good you've done, out loud, to yourself or someone you trust. Let it remind you who you really are.#Judaism #Jewish #chabad #Rabbi #Kabbalah #Torah #TorahLessons #TorahPortion #torahwisdom #BibleStudy #Bible #confession #goodness #psychology #baalshemtov #KiTavo #Teshuvah #ViduiMaaser #JewishGrowthSign up for "The Forgiveness Lab" HERE: theloverabbi.com/eventsSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Dr. Sarah Court and Laurel Beversdorf critically evaluate the claims made by YogaU Online about the connections between breathing practices and bone health during a recent promotional webinar for a new workshop called “Breath As Medicine: Yogic Breathing for Vital Aging.” They meticulously analyze research studies cited by YogaU, debunking pseudoscientific assertions about nitric oxide production, VO2 max, and the impact of breathing on bone density. The hosts highlight the ethical implications of such misleading information and emphasize the importance of evidence-based practices in the fitness and yoga communities. The discussion also touches on marketing tactics that prey on the fears of older women, underscoring the need for transparency and integrity in health advice.Sign up for the Bone Density Course Interest List here!Movement Logic on Instagram03:48 Calling Out Pseudoscience05:19 Yoga U's Dubious Claims17:47 The Breath as Medicine Workshop18:39 Debunking the Claims32:57 Understanding Breathing Pathologies01:01:56 Lung Function and Bone Mineral Density: A Study Review01:03:57 Debunking Misleading Claims in Yoga Marketing01:09:38 Sleep Apnea Studies and Their Misuse01:17:57 Hypoxia and Bone Health: Misinterpretations01:23:23 Nitric Oxide and Aging: Separating Fact from Fiction01:41:02 Cardiovascular Fitness: Misconceptions and Realities01:50:47 Yoga U's Ethical Dilemma and Call for Accountability01:59:38 Conclusion and Call to ActionReferences:Episode 5 Does Yoga Asana Build Bone Density?Episode 38 Got Bones?

This week we are sorting through our faulty collective memories while we discuss “The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat”! We're talking the Mandela/Mengele effect, how dangerous it is to hold Scully up when she's hangry, the return of Chuck, Mulder's Squatchin' outfit, and how troubled we are by this episode's erasure of the true Reggie. We won't stand for it! We note how terrifying it is to hear “Let me show you this quick video”, how Po-Co is never going to happen, the bloodcurdling screams of Megamind aliens, how much of an impact Teso Dos Bichos had on the crew, and whether or not this episode is eating the Jell-O. We're also thinking this Mulder guy might finally have a chance with Scully now that Reginald Murgatroid is out of the picture! Send us an email at scullynationpod@gmail.com or follow us on Instagram!

In the spirit of football season, Tarina bought a t-shirt that says “Football Social Club” on Etsy and Nic has no idea what Etsy is. Nic compares Tarina's purchase to the mileage he gets out of his underwear.Nic makes a point by honoring a potential customer with a phone call rather than just replying to a text. He prioritizes creating a connection with the person and understanding what they want.He wants people to know they matter. A phone conversation is one way he does this.Nic tells the story about a young man who said he'd never leave the company. Why? Nic asked. Because Harold, the owner, took the young man out to lunch and had a conversation. This took place eight years before Nic heard about it.That's the power of creating a connection. People are looking for significance.When we connect with someone we create trust with someone. As Nic says, “Trust travels so much faster than technology.”If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

The ancient art of rhetoric has shaped political policies, influenced social movements, structured legal arguments, and molded cultural narratives throughout history. It's been used for three thousand years to persuade other people to change their lives.But what if you could use it to persuade yourself?My guest today says you can. Jay Heinrichs is the author of Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion, and he explains how the same rhetorical techniques that great leaders and orators have used for millennia can be turned inward to help you change your life. We discuss how to identify your "soul" as your internal audience, use the concept of kairos to turn chaos into opportunity, create hyperbolic moonshot goals that inspire action even if you fall short, and employ ethos, pathos, and logos to achieve the habits and goals you aspire to. Along the way, we talk about how Jay used these self-leadership tools to go from barely being able to walk to attempting an athletic feat physiologists told him was impossible.Resources Related to the PodcastJay's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #639 — Why You Should Learn the Lost Art of RhetoricAoM series on Rhetoric 101Connect With Jay HeinrichsJay's websiteArgueLabSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
