Podcasts about lost art

White noise has a very precise technical definition, but people use the term loosely, to describe all sorts of washes of sound—synthetic hums, or natural sounds like a rainstorm or crashing waves—that can be used to mask other sounds. Twenty years ago, if you'd told someone white noise was a regular part of your life, they would have found that unusual. Nowadays, it's likely they use it themselves or know someone who does. The global white noise business is valued at $1.3 billion; TikTok is full of people trumpeting its powers; and Spotify users alone listen to three million hours of it daily. Far more of these sounds already exist than any one person could need—or use. And yet, more keep coming.  Looking out at this uncanny ocean of seemingly indistinguishable noises, we wanted to see if it was possible to put a human face on it; to understand why there is so much of it, and what motivates the people trying to soothe our desperate ears with sounds you're not really supposed to hear. In this episode, you'll hear from Elan Ullendorff, who writes the illuminating Substack Escape the Algorithm; Stéphane Pigeon, founder of myNoise; Brandon Reed, who runs Dwellspring; and Mack Haygood, author of Hush: Media and Sonic Self-Control and host of the podcast Phantom Power. We'd also like to thank Dan Berlau, Sarah Anderson, and Ashley Carman.  This episode was written by Katie Shepherd, Evan Chung, and Willa Paskin. It was produced by Katie Shepherd.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Julian Treasure—acclaimed sound expert, five-time TED speaker, and author of How to Be Heard and Sound Business—to explore the critical skill we've forgotten: listening. Julian unpacks how our noisy, fast-paced world has led to a global erosion of our ability to truly hear each other and how that impacts our leadership, relationships, and mental wellness. He introduces actionable tools like the RASA method and shares the deeper significance of “conscious listening” as a foundation for more mindful, connected lives. About the Guest:Julian Treasure is a renowned authority on communication, sound, and the impact of listening. With over 150 million TED Talk views, Julian has helped millions understand how sound affects us and why intentional listening is essential. He is the author of How to Be Heard and Sound Business, and founder of The Listening Society, a global initiative committed to restoring listening in our culture.   Key Takeaways: Listening is a skill, not a passive act. Hearing is natural; listening is intentional and practiced. Impatience is eroding our communication. The digital age favors reaction over reflection. Conscious listening changes relationships. Awareness of your “listening position” can transform how others feel seen and valued. Noise is costing us. Miscommunication and disengagement from poor listening cost businesses $10 trillion globally. Practical tools like RASA (Receive, Appreciate, Summarize, Ask) help foster deeper conversations. Silence is healing. Practicing moments of daily silence recalibrates your mental clarity and emotional state.   Connect with Julian Treasure: Explore Sound Business and How to Be Heard wherever books are sold.

I'll just say it: We've got a connection problem. In a world that seems to be more “plugged in” than we ever have been, we are feeling increasingly isolated, anxious and lonely.

With the help of the Holy Spirit and some nourishing food, we're reminded that we're really not that far from the connection we were made for.To connect with Cloe and learn more, head over to https://parkerpastures.com or @parkerpasturesgrassfed on IG!Get Cloe's book Connected Cowgirl here: https://amzn.to/45DUFXP SUPPORT BY WORDS: https://buymeacoffee.com/bywordsSHOP MY BOOKS:Waking Up: Living Open — https://amzn.to/3LusgrzLove Is Devotional — https://amzn.to/3S6OZhs FREE Path to Purpose Guide: https://hannahhughes.myflodesk.com/pathwaytopurpose My favorite Bible studies + devotionals - HANNAHHUGHES10  for 10% off: https://thedailygraceco.com?dt_id=300773 Connect: ⁠www.thehannahhughes.com⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thehannahhughes/⁠ https://www.instagram.com/bywordspodcast Shop my Amazon faves: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/shop/thehannahhughes⁠

Coaching Youth Hoops dives into why proper footwork is a fundamental and often overlooked skill in basketball, from shooting to defense. In this episode of the Coaching Youth Hoops Podcast, hosts Bill Flitter and Steve Collins discuss the crucial yet often neglected skill of footwork in youth basketball. Collins, based in the Palo Alto area, and Flitter, from Wisconsin, first share a lighthearted exchange about weather differences before diving into the core topic. They highlight that footwork is foundational to nearly every basketball skill, from shooting—where "you shoot with your feet"—to rebounding and ball handling. Collins notes that he constantly emphasizes footwork in practice, stressing its importance by observing how poor footwork can hinder a player's overall performance. The hosts underscore the simplicity and effectiveness of focusing on basic footwork drills for young players. Flitter suggests starting with fundamental concepts like pivoting (off both feet) and proper foot placement when catching the ball to shoot. Collins adds that on defense, teaching "happy feet"—constantly moving and staying light on the balls of the feet—is essential. They connect this to the popular children's movie Happy Feet as a relatable analogy for younger players, though Collins humorously admits it's becoming less effective with newer generations. Both coaches agree that integrating footwork into every drill and constantly checking players' foot placement can lead to significant improvements in their explosiveness, shooting accuracy, and defensive prowess.

Why do we confide in social media or ChatGPT rather than a friend? In todays episode I'm talking about my (toxic) relationship with social media and how I'm starting to use it as a friend. I also talk about my dislike for AI and ChatGPT. I express my fears for artists that use AI and furthermore my fears for people who replace their friends and therapists with AI.

Human beings have a primal need that we don’t often talk about. It’s not food or water or love, although we need those things too. It’s the human need that drives you to watch Netflix, scroll Instagram, gasp at a text message that says, “you’ll never guess what happened!?” and even binge a great audiobook (the three I mention in the episode are in the notes below). And yet unlike food, water and love, this primal need often gets overlooked. No wonder we’re depressed or bored or dysregulated or overwhelmed. We’re treating a basic need we have like it’s secondary; and that oversight is costing us. I invite you to find ways to bring back this “lost” art so we can rediscover meaning, clarity and connection in our lives. Check out THE TELL HERE! Check out The Anxious Generation HERE!

Albert Bierstadt’s story runs counter to the romanticized idea of a passionate starving artist. He was strategic in his career, selecting imagery that he knew would appeal to U.S. audiences, and monetizing his art outside of selling paintings.

This conversation is on the practical wisdom the Christian tradition offers for something that affects all of us: matters of life and death. Dr. Lydia Dugdale will be our guide. Lydia has applied practices from this faith tradition in her daily work with patients and families as a physician, professor and medical ethicist in New York City. She draws deeply from it in her book The Lost Art of Dying: Reviving Forgotten Wisdom – which she wrote for her patients, and those who love them:“[Death] exists as a paradox … death has been conquered in the Resurrection of Christ, and then death is still the last enemy to be destroyed in the final resurrection of the dead.” — Lydia DugdaleWe hope this conversation helps paint a picture of what it means to live as a Christian on the road of life, where death is not the end, but a stop along the way to eternity.This podcast was recorded with a live audience at a Trinity Forum evening conversation in Nashville in 2025. It'll give you a good sense of what the Trinity Forum is about: a community of people working to keep the Christian intellectual tradition alive, to nurture new growth in it for society's renewal, and to make it available to all.

Send us a textWhat if everything you've been told about building a successful fitness business is wrong? In this eye-opening conversation with Paul Waters, a 25-year veteran of the health and fitness industry, we challenge the conventional wisdom that bigger always means better.Paul's journey begins with his unexpected thrust into self-employment as a young personal trainer who quickly built a thriving business with over 100 clients. Despite financial success, the 16-hour workdays led to burnout and a crucial realization: the lifestyle he was promoting to clients wasn't one he could sustain himself. This insight planted the seeds for what would eventually become "Balance" - a business structured entirely around personal values rather than growth metrics.After years in the corporate fitness world, where he helped develop educational programs reaching thousands of fitness professionals, Paul found himself missing entrepreneurship's creative freedom and accountability. "I missed the fear," he confesses. "I like being scared going, 'Oh God, I've got to pay some rent next week.'" This drive propelled him back into self-employment, but with a transformed perspective on what constitutes success.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Paul reveals how he and his partner identified their five core values - time, nature, family, social connection, and health - and restructured their business to honor these priorities. Their approach challenges the "growth or die" mentality pervasive in business culture. "For us, we judge success by our values," Paul explains, not by traditional metrics like revenue or client numbers.Perhaps most compelling is Paul's recent pivot away from digital marketing back to community-based promotion. While the fitness industry rushed toward online offerings during the pandemic, Paul and his partner discovered greater fulfillment and success through local engagement. Their innovative service model, offering clients flexible access to multiple wellness modalities, demonstrates how values-aligned business models can thrive without chasing scale.Whether you're a fitness professional questioning your business direction or an entrepreneur seeking sustainable success, this conversation offers valuable perspective on building a business that supports your ideal lifestyle while making a meaningful difference in clients' lives.Support the showSubscribe to our Newsletter: https://creatitive.com/fit-to-grit-cast/

Our focus is, intuition. When is the last time you even heard that word, much less gave it any attention. When a book on intuition came across my desk, I was hooked. As I studied it, my focus turned toward trust, and faith. What do you put your trust and faith in? For all those who immediately say God, I'm going to ask you to stop, and really consider. God may be one of the things you put trust in, but everyday you are putting trust in other people, other ideas and opinions, other institutions, and you argue and defend them, and spend time online looking for information to trust. The question of this show, from my perspective, is how much do you trust yourself? And if you do believe in God, do you believe that God made you with no value or skill and just wants you trusting everything outside of yourself? Or is there anything in yourself worth listening to? My guest and expert on the topic is Elizabeth Greenwood. She is the author of EVERYDAY INTUITION: What Psychology, Science, and Psychics Can Teach Us About Finding and Trusting Our Inner Voice. She is a prolific researcher and writer and her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, GQ, The Atlantic and more. We had an in depth and candid conversation about what intuition is and how it is utilized by everyone from scientists and pastors to yes, psychics.

Somewhere between deadlines, caregiving, and doing all the things… fun got lost. Not just the big, event-style fun — but the kind that makes you forget what time it is, that makes you laugh or relax without needing a reason, that reminds you who you are under all the responsibility.In this episode, I explore the real reasons fun feels so out of reach for so many women — and why adding more of it back into our lives is less about being silly, and more about reconnecting with presence, lightness, and joy.You'll hear from women who tried a weeklong “fun experiment,” what worked (and what didn't), and what we discovered about joy that surprised us all.Plus, I'll walk you through a simple thought process for bringing more lightness into your day — no vacation required.

During this season of Lent, our hosts discuss the true essence of sacrifice and what distinguishes it from investment, bribery, manipulation and other forms of offering. Is suffering a necessary component of sacrifice or should suffering be painless? If Jesus is our example of sacrifice, how might we mimic his behavior?

I am joined this week by the incredible Susan McPherson, founder and CEO of McPherson Strategies and author of "The Lost Art of Connecting." Susan is a renowned connector, communications strategist, and corporate social responsibility expert who has dedicated her career to helping businesses create meaningful social impact. In this heartfelt conversation, Susan shares her journey from being "the tiniest one in the room" who had to find her voice early to becoming a powerhouse in the world of social impact. We explore her childhood in upstate New York, where her academic parents instilled in her the value of connecting others through their morning ritual of clipping newspaper articles to share with friends and colleagues – an early form of social networking that shaped Susan's approach to relationships. Susan opens up about the profound loss of her mother at age 21 and how this tragedy shaped her financial mindset and career trajectory. Listen as she recounts her path from waitressing to fund her year abroad in Denmark, to working at USA Today, to eventually launching McPherson Strategies at age 48 without any formal business training. Susan's story demonstrates how personal values, lived experiences, and a commitment to service can create a meaningful career and lasting impact. Key Topics: How to start building your network by making conversations about other people The surprising power of "clip and share" - Susan's parents' pre-internet social networking ritual Why financial independence must come before entrepreneurial risks How Susan navigated a successful career despite never taking business courses The value of maxing out your 401(k) from day one (and why Susan has done this consistently for decades) Why angel investing can be about learning and impact, not just financial returns Building the courage to launch your own business after 45 Connect with Susan online: Website: https://mcpstrategies.com/ Book: The Lost Art of Connecting LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanmcpherson/ Twitter: @susanmcp1 Instagram: @susanmcp1   Find more from Syama Bunten: Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: https://syamabunten.com/ Download Syama's Guide to Getting Rich: www.syamabunten.com Women & Wealth Catalyst Summit: https://women.win/ Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com  

In this episode of Relationships at Work, we're diving into the almost-forgotten power of handwritten communication with Amy Weinland Daughters, award-winning author of Dear Dana and passionate advocate for intentional connection.Amy shares how a simple handwritten note can redefine relationships in the workplace, cutting through the noise of digital communication to create moments that are tangible, memorable, and deeply personal. We explore how these small gestures of appreciation can override mistakes, build trust, and even boost retention, all with just a pen and a few minutes of time.Discover why handwritten notes are more than just ink on paper—they are symbols of care, recognition, and leadership that last far beyond the moment they're received.

A book landed on my desk a few years ago called, Ask - The Bridge from Your Dreams to Your Destiny. And lo and behold the author was Mark Victor Hanson and his wife Crystal. Mark is cited as one of the bestselling authors of all-time, as he is credited along with Jack Canfield for the entire Chicken Soup For The Soul franchise which has sold over half a billion books. I took the opportunity to talk about…asking. Asking for help, guidance, insight, wisdom, direction and more. We used to be a culture that lived in community and part of the normalcy of life was asking. It was the only way you learned anything. Today, we find ourselves very isolated. We “ask” google. We have few friends, teachers, guides, mentors or anyone who is speaking to us personally. People are turning to AI and a collective conscious instead of anyone who actually knows them personally. And I think we continually suffer for it. At 54 years old I find myself asking people for help and guidance and insight more than ever, and I'm finding more valuable direction for my life than ever. I'm also fulfilling the role of teacher, trainer, guide for others more than ever. So following is my conversation with Mark and Crystal where they lay out the grand opportunity we can all claim for ourselves if we will learn how and when to ask for guidance and direction in our lives. We dig into the concept and discuss why we don't ask anymore, and how we can get comfortable and proficient with asking and get past our fear and pride and I feel misled independence.

But modern life has normalised exhaustion, which is why so many of us feel guilty when we slow down, and how chronic stress patterns keep us stuck in survival mode without even realising it.

Not just paintings and galleries, but the lost art of creativity itself.What even counts as art anymore? Can AI generate it? Is beauty being replaced by efficiency? And where does the Church fit in all of this?In this episode, we swap stories of favorite artworks, reflect on the value of process over product, and wrestle with how craftsmanship shapes culture — and faith.
