If you've spent much time reading about Ignatian spirituality, there's a good chance you've come across the work of Jim Manney. He has a great book on the Examen called “A Simple, Life-Changing Prayer” that often serves as introduction for many to this all-important part of Ignatian spirituality. Jim has this way of boiling down his vast—and it is vast!—array of Ignatian knowledge in a way that is accessible, powerful and practical. His writing stays with you. And so, his newest book, which essentially is an exercise in making Ignatian spirituality accessible and practical, is pretty exciting. It's called “What Matters Most and Why: Living the Spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola.” In the book are 365 daily reflections—each less than a page. Jim is today's guest, and he walks us through his own life story, how he became so enamored with the spirituality of Ignatius, how he goes about sharing it with others and why he thinks it's important to do so. Learn more about Jim's work by visiting: jimmanneybooks.com.

Tim has on Boxer Alan Blyweiss and CEO Shane Manney of 5 Stones Fight Club to talk boxing, addiction, christianity, family and much more. https://www.5stonesfightclub.org/events Follow and Subscribe and Rate Five Stars on Spotify and Apple and YouTube Legendary heavyweight champ Mike Tyson is coming to a local boxing gym, not to fight, but to help raise money for the gym's ongoing Christian missions. Shane Manney, CEO and director of ministry at 5 Stones Fight Club in Annville, said Tyson, among other big boxing names such as ‘Irish' Mickey Ward, are confirmed to appear at a VIP dinner and 15-fight boxing match set for late October in Palmyra. “We've got contracts for everybody that's on that list,” Manney told PennLive, referring to the who's who roster of veteran boxers scheduled to appear, including Tim Witherspoon, Iran Barkley, Riddick Bowe, Vinny Paz, Vincent Pettway and Michael Olajide, among others. Manney said the gym's trainer, Alan Blyweiss, simply began phoning up the former pro fighters he knew to ask them to appear at the gym's first-ever fund-raising dinner and boxing match. “Alan spared with Tyson, Lennox Lewis. He's been around for a while. His boxing history is pretty good,” Manney said of Blyweiss, a Baltimore-born brawler who's been boxing since age 7. Manney said he met Blyweiss about 15 years ago when the ex-boxer had his hands full fighting with life – and losing. Since then, the two have collaborated on establishing the boxing gym that doubles as a church and Christian mission. “He met Christ, and God radically changed his life,” Manney said of Blyweiss. “We are working together, doing this kind of stuff now.” Even the fight club's name, 5 Stones, is biblical, referring to the only ammunition David armed himself with for his big showdown with the giant, Goliath. “Everybody has giants in their lives, whether it's addiction, depression, anxiety or fitness issues,” Manney said. “The whole focus is to get people physically fit, mentally focused and spiritually charged.” To do that, the boxing gym takes down the ropes on Sundays, and Manney preaches right from the ring to a congregation of about 80 fighters, some of them veterans, who are at various stages of getting up from life's canvass. A VIP dinner featuring all of the named pro fighters is set for Friday evening, Oct. 28, at the gym. Cost is $100 per person, with capacity limited to 300 people. The 15-bout amateur boxing match is scheduled for 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, at In the Net sports facility outside Palmyra. General admission is $25 and ringside seats are $65. 5 Stones is also selling 10-seat ringside tables for $2,500, which will feature visits with all of the veteran guest fighters, including Tyson. Sponsorships for the event are priced at $5,000. Additional details are here. Tim Witherspoon Jr. (@terribleii) is Young, Black and Suburban. He boxed professionally, and now he owns a gym in Bristol Borough, PA, Witherspoon Boxing and Fitness (@WS_boxing).

Everyone desires to be healthy and fit, but only few give the time, attention, and energy to doing so. And we aren't just talking physical fitness. We are talking about holistic fitness which involves the body, mind, and spirit. We want to help individuals pursue and reach their goals physically, mentally/emotionally, relationally, and most important spiritually. Thankfully, our Built Different Guest today, Shane Manney, has a significant amount of experience in all aspects of life. Physically speaking, Shane has accumulated over 20 years of coaching experience that includes wrestling, boxing, submission grappling, and strength training along with serving 6 years as an infantry machine gunner in the United States MARINE Corps, 2 years as a police officer in Richmond, Virginia, and 8 years as a private security contractor and security lead supervisor for Exelon Nuclear Security. On the mental, emotional, and relational level, Shane worked in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation at Pennsylvania Counseling Services for years helping individuals find freedom and recovery from strongholds within their lives. And spiritually speaking, Shane earned a bachelor's degree in Biblical Studies from Lancaster Bible College in 2016, and now leads a ministry called 5 Stones Fight Club that exists to engage individuals in mixed martial arts and fitness so that they can become both physically fit and spiritually sound. His mission is to help individuals relate their struggles on the wrestling mats and in the cage to their daily battles in life, and to provide the necessary support to become moral representatives of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My favorite quote from the episode is, “Come as you are, but don't stay as you are.” Don't miss this powerful episode that will help you push past your comfort zones!

It's not where you are or who you're with, but what you create. If you've ever felt like success as a creator is limited to the humdrum town you're in, miles from a traditionally “creative” city, meet Fashion Designer Whitney Manney.Kansas City, Missouri may not be the fashion capital of the world, but it's a place where Whitney has taken root. And if you ask Whitney, the humble surroundings of her hometown have led to more opportunities than obstacles. She's built a community in Kansas City, has grown her business alongside lifelong peers, and affords a space that's unattainable in cities like New York or Los Angeles. Finding creative communities may be harder, but it's far from impossible. And the pressures of surviving in a cut-throat creative hub disappear. However, while creating without pressure is helpful for some, for others, distance from a dream takes a toll.In this episode, Charli, Miguel, and Whitney discuss how to thrive creatively regardless of where you create, how Whitney learned to embrace her hometown, how she lands incredible design gigs despite the distance, and how Whitney stays true to a style much different than the aesthetic around her.Key Takeaways [01:14] - Have you heard?  [01:22] - Due to a recent court ruling in the U.K, Meta's acquisition of Giphy is now in limbo. [03:59] - Japan expects PewDiePie's move to increase tourism. [06:25] - Today's main topic: Succeeding as a creator when you don't live in a main creative hub. [06:44] - Before the internet, living in a place like Missouri was significantly harder and Whitney's instinct was to get out, especially with fashion aspirations. Now, that desire to leave has decreased dramatically. [08:28] - Whitney has embraced creativity in Kansas City rather than tolerated it. Because she's always lived there, she has a built-in community and has grown professionally alongside peers. [11:54] - Whitney was able to develop and sustain her own unique style without feeling limited by her city's aesthetic.  [14:55] - Part of embracing where you live is embracing what makes you different from that place. [17:27] - The beauty of staying in one place is the ability to build your business from the ground up and watch it flourish locally. [18:05] - Especially in your early career, there are advantages to being uniquely creative in a small city. You can experiment with your work and content without the daily stress of survival.  [19:54] - Living outside of a “creative” city also takes the pressure off having to constantly create and keep up with those around you. You have the freedom to move at a pace that's sustainable for you. [21:01] - Whitney landed a major fashion gig despite living outside of a typical fashion city.  [27:24] - When you have the opportunity to, it's important to pull in other creators from the “non-creative” city you're from. [29:21] - You can find a creative community anywhere, it just takes a little extra digging in some places. Don't discount local creatives near you. [32:48] - Today's listener shoutout: Whitney herself recently started a partnership with Velcro brand, has hired staff, and relaunched her website.  [35:07] - A sneak peek at next week's episode. Quotes[08:02] - “I really feel like I'm supposed to be here. And what I'm doing here is important and hopefully, the people after me that decide to be creatives here, hopefully I have helped make it a little easier.” ~ @whitneymanney[17:26] - “The thing that I love about being based in KC is that I have genuinely built this thing from the ground up. I can have complete ownership of what this business, what my studio practice, has looked like.” ~ @whitneymanney[19:14] - “If I move to LA or New York, I'm going to be so worried about just surviving, that I feel like I wouldn't be able to dedicate the time and brain power that I need to be a creative.” ~  @whitneymanney[32:16] - “You really do have to think about, what opportunities exist in my community that I can take advantage of, but [also] what is that one opportunity that I can create for myself this year? And I can do it so well that people are like, ‘ok, we're paying attention to this person.'” ~ @whitneymanneyLinks Watch The Future Belongs to Creators on YouTube Whitney's website Whitney Manney on Instagram  Whitney on Twitter Whitney on TikTok Whitney on Facebook Giphy Meta Instagram PewDiePie  Kansas City Art Institute  Sequins and sales funnels: how to build a business in fashion Seventeen Magazine Teen People Magazine Bel-Air Velcro Brand Kansas City Royals Connect with our hosts Charli Prangley Miguel Pou Haley Janicek Stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Twitter Facebook Instagram Every week we celebrate a win from a listener.Tell us about a recent launch, milestone or success (big or small!) right here and we might just shout you out in the next episode: https://convertk.it/listenershoutout. Start building your audience for freeWith ConvertKit landing pages, you can build a beautiful page for your project in just a few minutes.

Today's guest, Jerry Manney, has dedicated 35 years of clinical experience to helping people navigate the joys and pains of life. A therapist and counselor, Jerry wrote the book, Why We Argue and How to Stop: A Therapist's Guide to Navigating Disagreements, Managing Emotions, and Creating Healthier Relationships because one of the biggest challenges he's seen people face over and over again is communication during conflict. As Jerry explains during this show, when arguments break out, nobody wins—so he wrote this book to help people figure out why they argue (and why other people argue), and also to provide some practical steps people can take to maximize communication and connection while minimizing unproductive arguments. You'll learn how to stop arguing, why self-care has to take center stage, the importance of calling out time-outs (and the best way to do so), and much more!   LINKS:  Brad Kearns.com Brad's Shopping page Why We Argue and How to Stop: A Therapist's Guide to Navigating Disagreements, Managing Emotions, and Creating Healthier Relationships JerryManney.com   Join Brad for more fun on: Instagram: @bradkearns1 Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns YouTube: @BradKearns TikTok: @bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

When you're building for the near future, how far can you go? Is technology going to doom us, save us, or a bit of both? How does a society make that determination -- and how can your worldbuilding show those choices in action? In this episode with guest PJ Manney, we explore cyberpunk, technothrillers, and other alternate-near-future fiction. We also spend some time teasing apart the ideas of genre, aesthetic, and plot device, and where they overlap. Our Guest: PJ Manney is the author of the bestselling and Philip K. Dick Award nominated science fiction technothriller, (R)EVOLUTION (2015), published by 47North in the Phoenix Horizon trilogy with, (ID)ENTITY (2017), and (CON)SCIENCE, (2021).

Matt Manney shares how his newest book, Momentum, can help you find your calling in life and ministry.Find Your CallingIf you’re asking yourself how to find your true calling, this is the episode for you!Some of us may have found our calling early in life. That is what happened to Matt Manney at thirteen years old after a major change happened in his family. The response of positive male role models in his church inspired him to pursue a life in ministry as a pastor.There was just one problem. Along the way, he seemed to have lost his way. There was a struggle with why he was doing the work of ministry and began to wonder if he was in the right place for the right reasons.A series of humbling experiences helped him reshape his why, and his how, and continues his work as a pastor with new passion and focus. Matt’s books and podcast are designed to help you discover how to know your calling in ministry. What does it mean to work in ministry? Does ministry mean working on a church staff only?About Matt ManneyMatt Manney is a husband, dad to three awesome kids, a pastor, writer, blogger, podcaster, reader, and dreamer. His blog and podcast are for those who want to align their purpose, personality, private life, and profession. Whether you’re looking to reach your potential, find your calling, or simply make your difference in your little patch of ground you call home, his platform will help you do just that.When we feel we are stuck in a rut, there is a gap between who we are today and where we want to be. There may be a misalignment between what we are doing now and that gut feeling you are meant for more. Matt’s message is about how to find your calling, clarify it, and then pursue it. Funny thing is that’s what we are about at Beyond the Rut as well, which is why we have him on the show this episode.Master that space between your private and public life.

Interview with Former Delaware Lacrosse All-American Brett Manney (4/17/08)

Tim Manney is a chair and tool maker based in Portland, Maine. He primarily builds ladderback chairs using green woodworking principles, but also uses kiln-dried lumber in his process. Although he started his woodworking journey making chairs with influential Windsor chairmaker Curtis Buchannan in Tennessee, he’s found that he’s making more tools for Windsor chairmaking than chairs these days. Tim pays special attention to how he can work with his body the same way he works with the fibers of wood. See more of Tim’s work by visiting his website www.timmanney.com, or on Instagram @tim.manney.Tim’s big craft crush is Curtis Buchannan.Support the show (http://www.patreon.com/cutthecraftpodcast)

Today we begin a deep dive into the head triad, starting with Type Fives—the Investigators. And because there’s so much to learn about the complex Fives, we have not one but two guests to share their input: Enneagram expert Dr. Avon Manney, and podcaster/author/Enneagram Five Knox McCoy. Dr. Avon (a Nine married to a Five!) shares how she started applying the Enneagram to her osteopathy practice so she could help patients heal emotional issues that were manifesting in her patients’ bodies. She talks about how Fives are explorers who want to know how and why things work the way they do. Taking Dr. Avon’s insights a step further and giving us a peek under the hood, Knox explains how that exploration shows up in his own life—as a Five, he’s motivated to make sure he shows up as competent and prepared in every situation. Knox also breaks down something Fives suffer from called “catastrophic depletion,” which basically means Fives have a limited energy reservoir, and once it’s gone for the day, it is gone. As profoundly efficient fixers, Fives possess a beautiful clarity of thought, a thirst for knowledge, and an unparalleled loyalty for those they love. And just wait until you make it to the end, when we hear from composer Ryan O’Neal (AKA Sleeping At Last), about how he completed a music piece inspired by Fives—his longest piece in the whole series! * * * Thank you to our sponsors!

Artificial intelligence has long been a favorite feature of science fiction. Every robot or talking computer or starship operating system has contributed to our idealized image of the bits-and-bytes brain. In (ID)entity (47North, 2017), PJ Manney further expands our vision of A.I. by uploading her human protagonist to a server; from there, he is replicated and downloaded, re-emerging in everything from a sex-bot to a vegetative man. Published this month by 47North, (ID)entity is the second book in Manney’s fast-paced, plot-twisting Phoenix Horizon series. As the follow-up to the Philip K. Dick Award-nominated (R)evolution, her new novel is both an exploration of transformative technology and a thriller, set in a world where nations (including the U.S.) have collapsed, swathes of humanity face enslavement, and the future of civilization hangs in the balance. One of Manney’s ambitions as a writer (in addition to entertaining readers) is to prepare the public for the possible impacts of new technology. “If we know that these things are coming, we can start forming opinions about what to do,” she says. “Because here’s the thing: nothing gets banned. [If] it gets banned in one country, it doesn’t get banned in another country. There’s no way that technology stops from happening.” Manney likens the idea of transforming a human incrementally–gradually swapping cells for bits–to the thought experiment known as Theseus’s paradox, which asks: if you restore every piece of Theseus’s ship with an entirely new piece, is the final result still Theseus’s ship? “I’m positing, yes it is,” she says, with regard to her protagonist’s transformation from man to super-sophisticated CPU. While (ID)entity is set in the near future, Manney doesn’t expect that people will be able to save themselves to their hard drives soon. “Uploading is farther off than we think.” The third and final book in the series, (CON)science, is scheduled for release in November 2018. Rob Wolf is the author of The Alternate Universe and The Escape. He worked for many years as a journalist, writing on a wide range of topics from science to justice reform, and now serves as director of communications for a think tank in New York City.

[First Aired 12/17/2007] Stephen Gordon  and PJ Manney speak with Dr. Pearl Chin of the Foresight Nanotech Institute. Pearl specializes in advising on nanotechnology investment opportunities. She is a prolific writer on nanotechnology investing, business, management and social issues. Her articles appear in Nanotechnology Now and the Nanotechnology Law and Business Journal. And she is actively sought out to speak about and be interviewed on diverse nanotechnology related topics.  

PJ Manney‘s fast-action novel (R)evolution (47North, 2015) has all the ingredients of a Hollywood thriller: a terrorist attack using nanotechnology, a military-industrial conspiracy, a scientist who augments his brain – plus, of course, romance, betrayal, and rapid-fire plot twists. The movie-style storytelling comes naturally for Manney, who spent most of her career in Hollywood, developing films and writing for television. “I don’t see myself as a literary stylist or as a great wordsmith. I see myself as a Hollywood-influenced storyteller,” she says. A first-time novelist, Manney says she was “flabbergasted” when she was nominated for this year’s Philip K. Dick Award. “I ended up melding genres and ignoring people’s advice,” she explains. “It doesn’t really fit neatly into any boxes and people who like boxes have a hard time with it…I thought it was just me and my editor who liked it.” (R)evolution explores transformative technology – a brain-computer interface that relies on nano-materials to create a prosthetic hippocampus and cortex. Manney’s protagonist, Peter Bernhardt, seeks to use the technology for good–to aid brains destroyed by Alzheimer’s disease, but business and political forces try to grab the science for their own nefarious ends. Eventually, Bernhardt experiments on himself, pursuing super-human capacities to literally outsmart his enemies. Manney had envisioned (R)evolution as a next-generation e-book: one with active Web links to provide context and background information and a soundtrack that allowed readers to hear the music that helps Bernhardt make connections and solve problems. “I wanted you to be able to play the music so you could actually experience his mental process. I wanted people to really have that sense of having a hacked and jacked brain. If you did have a quirkily wired brain to begin with and this ability to pull from endless amounts of data, what would that feel like?” Yet while Manney’s imagination rushes headlong into the future, e-book technology moves at a slower pace. The e-book version of (R)evolution has no links or music. But Manney hasn’t given up. She is working furiously on the next installment, (ID)entity. That gives e-book designers a chance to up their game and, I hope, design an e-book format worthy of Peter Bernhardt. (It’s not too late to sign up for a giveaway of the six books nominated for the 2016 Philip K. Dick Award. Entries will be accepted until midnight Pacific Daylight Time on March 22, 2016.)

On April 30, 2014, a police officer, Christopher Manney, shot and killed Dontre Hamilton, at Red Arrow Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. No charges were brought, but Manney was fired from the force. As a result of the shooting and subsequent protests, Milwaukee police officers were equipped with body cameras. Dontre D. Hamilton (d. April 30, 2014), of Milwaukee, was 31 years old at the time of his death.[1] Hamilton had a history of mental illness.[1][2] In 2013, he had made a suicide attempt by stabbing both sides of his neck and had been hospitalized. According to Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn, Hamilton had a prior history of arrests in Milwaukee which were "directly connected to mental health issues."[1] Hamilton's family stated that Hamilton had been treated for schizophrenia but was not violent.[2][3] In the days before his death, Hamilton told his family that he was "tired and hungry, and that somebody was going to kill him."[2] On April 30, 2014, Manney shot Hamilton fourteen times, killing him.[3] The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel summarized the events as follows: Before the encounter, a pair of officers responding to a call that Hamilton was asleep in the park checked on him twice and found he was doing nothing wrong. When Manney arrived, he was not aware that other officers had preceded him As Manney began to pat down Hamilton, Hamilton fought him, and a confrontation ensued. Manney tried to use his baton to subdue Hamilton, but Hamilton got control of it and swung at Manney, hitting him on the side of the neck, according to Milwaukee police internal affairs.No additional weapons were found on Hamilton's person.[3] InvestigationThe investigation was carried out by the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation, a statewide agency, but the lead agents for the investigation were former Milwaukee police officers.[3]The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office conducted an investigation. In December 2014, District Attorney John Chisholm found the use of force to be in self-defense and declined to prosecute.[3][4][5][6]A federal investigation took place,[7] and was closed in November 2015, with federal authorities determining that there was insufficient evidence to pursue federal criminal civil rights charges against Manney.[8]Firing of ManneyAfter the shooting, Manney applied for duty disability, saying the shooting and its aftermath caused him to experience severe post-traumatic stress disorder.[3]Police Chief Edward Flynn fired Manney after the shooting.[9] In March 2015, a three-member panel of the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission unanimously upheld the firing, sustaining and confirming the two conclusions of an internal investigation, which determined that: Manney had conducted a frisking process without a reasonable suspicion. Manney did follow departmental "Defense and Arrest Tactics."[9]The firing does not affect Manney's pending disability application.[9]LawsuitIn 2014, Jovan Blacknell was retained by the family of Hamilton.[10][11] In 2017, the Hamilton family received a 2.3 million dollar settlement from the City of Milwaukee.[12]ProtestsDontre's brother, Nate Hamilton, has also since co-founded the Coalition for Justice, an organization that has led rallies, marches, and street clean-ups. The Black Lives Matter movement has also protested Hamilton's death.[13]Policy changesIn the aftermath of Hamilton's death, "Hamilton's family members worked with Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, the Police Department and other city leaders to have all officers receive Crisis Intervention Team training, considered the gold standard for working with people in psychiatric crisis, by 2017."[3]Additionally, eight Milwaukee aldermen and a majority of the Milwaukee Common Council, called in December 2014 for equipping all city police officers with body cameras on an expedited basis.[14] In October 2015, the Fire and Police Commission approved, by a 4–1 vote, a new policy requiring "most Milwaukee police officers to wear body cameras at all times while on duty, though they will not be required to have the devices always activated."[15] A four-phase implementation process was developed, and officers began to wear the cameras in October 2015.[16] However, following a similar police shooting of a Milwaukee black man in 2016, the Milwaukee Police Department was criticized for not submitting a review of its new patterns and practices.[17]This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement
