Podcasts about Meaning

DREAM WITH US, and we'll teach you how to interpret them!⁠⁠Alchemical separatio is the skill of sorting out your mind. You separate what belongs to you—your complexes, habitual triggers, and painful memories--from what is happening in the world around you. In the laboratory of your life, you separate present triggers from older wounds, and literal facts from symbolic meanings. This is part of your essential self-ordering instinct. As you bring more and more of yourself into conscious awareness, a delightful calm will tell you you're on the right path. Join us and learn how to gain the profound clarity necessary on the path of Individuation.Read along with the dream HERE.LOOK & GROW⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join THIS JUNGIAN LIFE DREAM SCHOOL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Do you have a topic you want us to cover?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WE NEED YOUR HELP!

When you reclaim your power, align your mindset, and use your money as a tool for purpose, you can begin living the life you love. Starting today! About Scarlett:Scarlett, aka The Biz Hippie, helps coaches master money and own their worth so they can be fully supported by the work they love! Using a combination of tangible money management strategies and a variety of powerful coaching techniques, Scarlett helps her clients transform their mindset and relationship to money and strategically make their vision happen.Scarlett didn't always live life this way. At the age of 18, Scarlett had already begun her professional journey and was managing restaurants and pursuing a degree in Business Management, Accounting, and Finance. Her life was all business all the time, despite having horrible relationships (with both people and money), struggles with depression, head-to-toe eczema, and frequent migraines. It took a cannabis-induced near-death experience to shake her to her core and start a slow crawl from rock bottom.Scarlett swung her pendulum from full business mode to total hippie; becoming a life coach, yoga instructor, and reiki practitioner. It was when a coach friend of hers was struggling with money that she was inspired to bring together her experience, skills, and degree to support her!! This was the genesis of Empowered Abundance, a program that helps coaches and business leaders transition into their next level of abundance with all the tools they need to make conscious and aligned decisions.Scarlett is a certified coach through the World Coach Institute and a Level 2 Enlifted Coach. On a personal level, she is a total hippie and loves spending time barefoot outside, vibing with her family in drum circles, and using plant medicine in the jungle.Website: https://thebizhippie.comFree 30 Minute Connection Call: https://thebizhippie.com/activationLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/scarlett-stanhopeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/scarlett.stanhope/-----If you're struggling, consider therapy with our sponsor, BetterHelp.Visit https://betterhelp.com/candicesnyder for a 10% discount on your first month of therapy.*This is a paid promotionIf you are in the United States and in crisis, or any other person may be in danger -Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Dial 988-----Connect with Candice Snyder!Website: https://www.podpage.com/passion-purpose-and-possibilities-1/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/candicebsnyder?_rdrPassion, Purpose, and Possibilities Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/passionpurposeandpossibilitiescommunity/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passionpurposepossibilities/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/candicesnyder/Shop For A Cause With Gifts That Give Back to Nonprofits: https://thekindnesscause.com/Fall In Love With Artists And Experience Joy And Calm: https://www.youtube.com/@movenartrelaxationClick this link to receive your FREE TRIAL to The Greenhouse Communityhttps://www.thegreenhousecommunity.com/checkout/the-greenhouse-membership?affiliate_code=11e889

The British designer Jay Osgerby believes in designing rigorously simple objects that are deeply felt and, hopefully, appreciated for generations to come. As the co-founder of the London-based industrial studio Barber Osgerby, Jay and his partner in the firm, Edward Barber, emphasize experimentation, innovation, and a material- and craft-forward design approach to their products, furniture, architecture, and interiors. Across their nearly 30-year history as a studio, Barber Osgerby has taken a “fewer, better things” approach and along the way built a rich and varied body of work that includes the 2012 London Olympics torch, a commemorative £2 coin (2012), a Victoria and Albert Museum installation with BMW (2014), Vitra's Tip Ton chair (2011), and paper lanterns crafted by Ozeki & Co. in Gifu, Japan. Each project exudes clarity, calm, and consideration—and always a sense of character. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Osgerby shares his optimistic views on A.I. as a means toward more people engaging in craft and handwork; considers what his years inside factories and surrounded by craftspeople have taught him about human ingenuity; and reflects on objects as vessels for memory, history, and soul.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: Jay Osgerby[05:08] Flos[8:37] 2012 London Olympics torch[8:37] £2 coin (2012)[8:37] Victoria and Albert Museum[8:37] London Design Biennale[14:18] Design Museum in Tallinn, Estonia[14:18] Isokon[15:58] Dieter Rams[15:58] Ettore Sottsass[15:58] Memphis Group[15:58] Rationalism[20:25] Pitt Rivers Museum[24:56] Vitra[28:49] Arts and Crafts Movement[29:09] Glenn Adamson[31:01] Bill McKibben[36:38] Blueprint[36:38] Paul Smith[38:01] Galerie Kreo[39:00] Tyler Brûlé[41:36] Venini[51:34] Vico Magistretti[51:34] Achille Castiglione[53:07] Ozeki & Co.

In this episode of Perspectives with Joseph Mattera, we dismantle the common idea that worship is only singing and emotion. Scripture paints a different picture:  giving is one of the clearest expressions of that worship. Jesus said, "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Meaning: our giving reveals our worship. In this teaching, Joseph explores: Why biblical giving is never about fundraising—but about formation The difference between tithing and generosity fueled by devotion Why the early church saw giving as part of priestly worship How giving realigns our hearts with God's purposes in the earth If God doesn't have our resources, He doesn't truly have our heart. This episode will challenge your assumptions, deepen your understanding of worship, and help you see generosity as a powerful act of spiritual warfare—breaking greed, fear, and self-reliance. Giving isn't a transaction. It's transformation.

On this episode, Chris Coyne speaks with Michael Romero, Mikayla Novak, and Anna Claire Flowers about the enduring influence of Kenneth Boulding on how we understand peace and cooperation. Romero discusses his paper “Markets as a Peace Lab,” coauthored with Virgil Storr, which explains how markets act as spaces where individuals cultivate trust, empathy, and peaceful exchange. Novak joins to discuss her paper “Kenneth Boulding's The Image: A Cognitive Basis for Peace Entrepreneurship,” connecting Boulding's insights on human cognition to the creative work of fostering peace. In the final part of the episode, Coyne and Flowers reflect on their coauthored paper “The Family and the Stable Peace,” highlighting how the family serves as a training ground for the habits and relationships that sustain cooperation. Together, these conversations show how Boulding's vision of peace continues to shape research on economics, society, and human flourishing.This is the second episode in a short series of episodes that will feature a collection of authors who contributed to the volume 1, issue 2 of the Markets & Society Journal or to a forthcoming special issue from The Review of Austrian Economics.Dr. Michael R. Romero is Professor of Economics and Business at Thales College. Previously, he was an associate program director for Academic & Student Programs and a Research Fellow for the F.A.

Everyone wants results until lifestyle gets in the way.People blame genetics, upbringing, or time. They say, “I wasn't born fit,” “I didn't come from money,” “I don't have the right partner.” But the truth is, your lifestyle decides your outcomes.Not your DNA, not your circumstances.In today's episode of The Bedros Keuilian Show, I'm breaking down one of the most dangerous lies people tell themselves: that they're victims of their genetics or their environment. Whether it's your body, your business, or your relationships it all comes down to the standards you set, the discipline you keep, and the habits you repeat.Stop blaming what loaded the gun. Start owning how you pull the trigger.If you're ready to take back control of your health, your wealth, and your life, this episode will show you how to design a lifestyle that wins.DOMINATION DOWNLOADSTRAIGHT FROM THE DESK OF BEDROS KEUILIANYour weekly no B.S. newsletter to help you dominate in business and in lifehttps://bedroskeuilian.com/MAN UP SCALE BUNDLE: $29 (100% Goes to Charity)Get your Digital Man Up book + Audiobook + 2 Exclusive MASTERCLASSES & Support Shriners Children's Hospital. https://www.manuptribe.com/limited-offerREGISTER FOR THE LEGACY TRIBEGet the Life, Money, Meaning & Impact You Deservehttps://bedroskeuilian.com/legacytribeJOIN MY FREE 6-WEEK CHALLENGE:Transform into a Purpose-Driven Manhttps://bedroskeuilian.com/challengeTHE SQUIRE PROGRAM: A rite of Passage for Your Son as He Becomes a ManA Father and Son Experience That Will Be Remembered FOREVERhttps://squireprogram.com/registerTruLean Supplements | https://www.trulean.com/pages/bedrosGet 50% Off Trulean Subscribe & Save BundleUse Code: BEDROS Few Will Hunt Apparel | https://fewwillhunt.com/Get 20% Off Your Entire OrderUse Code: BEDROSOPEN A FIT BODY LOCATIONA High-Profit, Scalable Gym Franchise Opportunity Driven By Impacthttps://sales.fbbcfranchise.com/get-started?utm_source=bedrosPODCAST EPISODES:https://bedroskeuilian.com/podcast/STAY CONNECTED:Website | https://bedroskeuilian.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bedroskeuilian/LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/bedroskeuilianTwitter | https://twitter.com/bedroskeuilian

What does it take to bring the American Revolution to life? How can an event that took place 250 years ago be conveyed to us through modern-day film? Ken Burns and his team worked to answer these questions in their new, epic six-part documentary, Ken Burns' The American Revolution. Their work promises to deepen, complicate, and transform our understanding of the Revolution over 12 hours of film. But how did Burns and his team make this film? What stories did they choose to tell? And what challenges did they face in telling those stories? Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt, the two co-directors of Ken Burns' The American Revolution, join us for a behind-the-scenes tour of their film and how they made it.

Phil Klay is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and National Book Award–winning author of Redeployment, Missionaries, and Uncertain Ground, whose work examines the moral and emotional toll of modern war. How do soldiers make sense of what they've done when the meaning of war keeps changing? Why does true patriotism demand not blind loyalty, but the courage to question—and to forgive? Released on Veterans Day, this conversation dives into the nature of service, moral injury, and the fight to keep faith—with one's country, and with oneself.

Tiff and Kristy spell out what it takes to onboard to the best of your ability. They touch on the questions a hiring manager should be asking themself during interviews, how an applicant will be learning about your practice, the appropriate vibes to give out for your business, and more.   Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Hello Dental A Team listeners. I am here with you again today with my fave podcaster I'm sorry rest of the team. She's got that title right now. She's got the crown Miss Kristy is here with me today And this one we had to talk about it beforehand and I'm excited. I'm now excited for this We had to brainstorm a little bit before recording this podcast to ensure we were on the right track and like minded on this which I think speaks volume to the   you know, podcast topic, but also to how well our team works together and how well our team really is bonded. And Kristy, before we get into today's topic, first of all, welcome. Thank you so much for giving me, it's Monday today, so giving me your Monday afternoon so we could record a couple of podcasts. How are you?   DAT Kristy (00:50) Good, I always look forward to my Mondays when I get to spend them with you.   The Dental A Team (00:54) Thank you. I used to do these on Fridays, which was like, it's a fun way to end of the week. But I was like, I think it's a fun way to start the week too, because we get time together. And then I just like them better on Mondays. So hopefully you guys do too.   DAT Kristy (01:08) I agree.   The Dental A Team (01:10) So today's podcast, you guys, if you're subscribed to our newsletters, you know that our podcasts kind of follow the same topic and genre of our newsletters. If you're not subscribed to our newsletters, hop over to TheDentalATeam.com, hit subscribe because there's actually, I mean, we follow the same cadence and the same topics, but they're gonna be a little bit different. So if you're looking for more information, a lot of times they have downloads in them too. So if you're not subscribed, go do that.   Our marketing team would love me for that little plug, but truly if you're not getting those yet, you should be, so go grab them. ⁓ Today's topic may be, I think today's topic on podcast might be a little bit different than topic by newsletter. And Kristy and I wanted to take a stab at really kind of switching the mindset on this space. And Kristy, think I'm gonna like boost our egos. I think you and I actually do really, really well.   at seeing something and flipping it and being like, well, what if we looked at it from this angle instead of that one? I think you and I actually do really, really well at that. So thank you for working together with me on that. Today, you guys, your newsletter coming through, like I said, it's gonna be a little bit different. Today's podcast, we're really gonna be talking about not off-boarding, like what to do, how to let someone go, because we're really not here for that. Like the consulting team is here for...   doing everything we can to hire the right person and to make sure that there's complete clarity around everything that each individual is doing, that the path is set and you actually have no questions about keeping them on or off boarding them. Like that's in your court, that is not in our court. So we thought it would be more beneficial and more fun for the two of us to really talk about onboarding correctly and like even before you're onboarding, what that looks like.   Kristy, I think this might actually be fun. I'm just spinning us a little bit, but I kind of want to talk about us attracting you into the Dental A Team because you haven't always been here, right? We have met you, Kiera, I have met you a long time ago, but you haven't been with the Dental A Team forever, even though to us and likely to all of our listeners, it does feel like you have been a part of this team since   DAT Kristy (03:20) No.   The Dental A Team (03:33) the very beginning, which I think also speaks volumes to our topic today because that goes right along with what we're thinking. Now, how did that happen, Kristy? Like, how did Dental A Team, how did we attract you? You found us. ⁓ We are so thankful for it. But how did we attract you, who fit so seamlessly into the dynamics of our team, our goals?   you literally like consult just like we do like everything about you embodies who we are. How is that possible? How did we do that?   DAT Kristy (04:11) Yeah, you know, with every place you go, there's little things that may change a little bit, but the heart of things don't change. And so you're right, if we align not only in process, but also culture. so ⁓ when it came time for my journey to shift and change, it was important to find the like minded space and people. ⁓   not only for me to help them grow, but for you guys to help me grow, right? Like they say, look around who you surround yourself with because you're kind of like the top five people you hang around, right? And so ⁓ it was really important for me to find that culture and process both, you know, and I'll make sure we were aligned.   The Dental A Team (05:05) Yeah, thank you. I think if you guys can hear what she's saying, right, Kristy's saying that she was able to see that she was in alignment with who we are as humans, that our goals, our vision, our company standards really aligned with Kristy. While there might be some caveats and some spaces of learning or some spaces where it's like, okay, I thought it would look like this, but let's try this or and let's try and let's create this. ⁓   DAT Kristy (05:07) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (05:34) That's massive because offboarding, offboarding does, it's not easy, you guys. It's not, there's not an easy peasy process that takes emotions out and just makes it to where you're the robot that can easily just fire people whenever you want. What I do instead is I try to make sure that I'm representing our company to the best that I possibly can in everything that I do. So when I'm going through, I'm the hiring manager for our consulting team.   When I'm going through, I'm doing the same thing Kristy said she's doing. I'm looking to see, does this candidate align with who we are? the response is coming back in alignment with how we speak to each other or how we speak to clients. Is it in alignment with what I would love to see a timeline as, right? Like I've gotten, I've had candidates where I'm like, my gosh, their resume is fantastic. This is the experience that I want, spot on.   I'm gonna reach out to them and I don't hear from them for like a week. I'm like, well, that's not in alignment with us. And so ensuring that on both sides, we're taking a step back and we're questioning the alignment of those pieces, I think is a huge, huge reason why it's been successful. Now, in order to do that, this is a caveat, you guys. You can't just show up and just,   expect everyone to know how to show up, right? You've got to really lead by example. And in my opinion, we are leading by core values, mission and vision. We are driven by the why of this company. And that is what attracts people. That's what attracted Kristy. Kristy was attracted to the why of our company, our mission, our vision.   and how we show up, which are our core values. I show up in our core values, Kiera does, Britt does. When Kristy came to the interview, she was like, okay, got it. I can see it in real life. So Kristy, as an outsider, you're applying for a job. In what ways were you able to see that we did have an alignment or at least enough alignment to say, let's explore this in that... ⁓   hiring process, like in the application process, you're sending your resume outside of listening to us on on podcasts, I'm thinking how can offices kind of emanate and represent that in a space where like minded people can find them?   DAT Kristy (08:06) Yeah, if I'm understanding you correctly, think it's truly... ⁓   You have to make sure you're painting clarity for people on, you have to speak your culture. Like for instance, how many times do we talk to our own clients and say, do you have a mission statement? Do you have core values? And they'll be like, yeah, we do, somewhere. You know what I mean? You have to live it and you can't just say, yes, I have it. You have to show that you have it and you use it and it means something.   The Dental A Team (08:37) Mm-hmm.   DAT Kristy (08:47) Right? And so when I found you guys, you could recite it. You lived it. You wove it into your process. Right? And it told me that it means something to you and you live by it. Like it's our code of conduct, if you will. Right? And it can't just be put in a drawer. You have to keep it alive in order for it to serve the ultimate goal and mission, if you will.   The Dental A Team (09:15) Mm hmm. Yeah, I totally agree. And it's just a it's a rep an outward representation. And so I think even in our job ads, right, and I know I work a lot with clients on this. I know I see you guys doing it, too. I know Monica just helped a client last week with some job ads. But making sure those job ads speak to you because I can write a job ad. But if you copy and paste the job that I wrote, even writing it for you, even my clients that I've worked with for seven plus years,   DAT Kristy (09:16) Thank   The Dental A Team (09:44) I can write it for you and I know you, but unless you go in and speak some of yourself into that ad, it's not gonna hit, it just doesn't resonate. And so a lot of practices too are very different than who I am. So if I write your ad and I attract me to your practice and your practice doesn't, you're not me, that person is likely not gonna be a good fit.   DAT Kristy (09:51) Mm-hmm.   Right.   The Dental A Team (10:13) Right?   It's just, she could or he could for sure for the, maybe for the long run, but attracting that like-minded person takes really being able to know who you are and who you want to show up as and then doing that every single day. It makes me think of like, if I went and applied at Chick-fil-A, I know exactly how I'm supposed to show up. If I apply at Target, if I apply at Starbucks, I know exactly how I'm supposed to show up.   Dutch Bros. I wouldn't apply at Dutch Bros because it's too much energy output. I know that, right? But if I can go to Starbucks where it's still energy output, but not quite as much, it's a little tamer of a coffee process, I really want to be a barista one day. That's why I'm saying these. I would love to be a barista. ⁓ But I'm going to judge it. I'm going to judge where I'm applying based on those aspects. My son did the same thing. His first job even, he's looking at, is this a company I want to work for?   Is this a company that I can represent and be happy at? Because no matter what he understood as an employee, he's walking in as a representation of that facility. And if it's not a company that he is in alignment with, either what they're doing, he doesn't understand what they're doing, or he's not excited to be there himself, he knows that he's not gonna be able to represent that and he's gonna be a really just angry human.   And if they're not happy, that's where off-boarding comes in, right? Like now you're into the space of like this kid, dang it Brody, like you suck. He's like, yeah, cause I hate working here. Got it. Right. Or he sees like team members, employees that are like not loving life. Like he's judging these entry level positions based off of that. So to be in a position where we're high level, we're getting paid way better. We've got some schooling behind us.   DAT Kristy (11:48) See you.   The Dental A Team (12:07) Most of us at least see ease at least some sort of knowledge base or trying to get our foot into dental We're looking at those things as well Like how are people showing up and Kristy as I'm saying that I'm like that might be something that even is lost in the old like drop your resume off at the front desk like used to be able to drop it off and see what it was like to be like, ⁓ This is a place. I want to go or ⁓ okay, like   DAT Kristy (12:26) Yeah.   Mmm.   The Dental A Team (12:32) on and jot that down.   Yeah, so we lose some of that like visibility. But I do think this day and age people are looking at social media, people are looking at websites and people are researching. I know when we get when we get finally to the interview process, if I'm talking to a person who hasn't researched us, and they don't know who we are, they don't know how we show up, they haven't looked at the website, I'm like, well, that might not be a great fit. Because for our culture,   You've already done that. You know you fit and you're excited to work with us. You know?   DAT Kristy (13:04) I agree with you,   Tiff, so much. And I love that you use Dutch Bros. Hopefully everybody, even if you don't drink coffee, they have other things. But ⁓ I'm with you. I couldn't work at Dutch Bros. I appreciate what they do. But it's funny how many times that situation happens in practices and we want to make the employee wrong. And truly it was our process because we attracted the wrong person. I mean, if Dutch Bros. was attracting an introvert,   The Dental A Team (13:26) Hmm.   DAT Kristy (13:33) they'd be off boarding a lot of people, right? And so instead of, I mean, I like to say, I mean, when you and I looked at this topic, I literally was like, well, heck, if we're off boarding that many people, we've got to take some ownership on that side. You know, just like our patients, if there's attrition, we have natural attrition, they move away or death, that's gonna happen with employees too. But if we're having to off board a lot of employees, I think it's time that we take a step back.   The Dental A Team (13:36) Agreed.   DAT Kristy (14:01) and go, how are we attracting and who are we attracting? ⁓ One of the things with, we spoke about core values and our mission statement. I also think like, it's just not our why. And you made mention of this. It's also how we behave and how we show up. It's the why, the what and the how. And we get commitments around that. And if we're not getting that,   I'm always about extreme ownership. So how can I take a step back and attract the right person, attract the extrovert to Dutch brothers, not the introvert to, right? Because we're ultimately setting ourselves up for failure and for the person too. We didn't do right by them if we hired the introvert at Dutch brothers.   The Dental A Team (14:39) correct. Yeah.   I agree. And I think something you said there,   that's the like Simon Sinek, like what, what, how and why, right? And I think something that most practices nail is the what. We know what position we need to hire. We don't nail the how that position shows up for our company. So what, what is the how behind how that position contributes to our team? How do they show up for our team? And how do they show up for the patients? Meaning what is the job?   DAT Kristy (15:03) Thank   The Dental A Team (15:19) that they're doing and what are the metrics that tell us they are doing that job or not? Because oftentimes we also get stuck in the ⁓ mundane like feelings and emotions. And I'm not here to say that a stellar person, know, somebody, I've seen it. I've seen a manager who had stellar collections and like top-notch collections but couldn't communicate with the team. That's an issue, but that's a metric too. Like are we,   You know, how can we tie those things to the metrics? So if we can say your extreme ownership is massive, because if we can say as a leadership team or as an owner, I've done everything I can, they have complete clarity, I've had the conversations, offboarding then is much easier. Offboarding is difficult when there's still confusion, when either that person is gonna be confused because you let them go because they had no idea they did anything wrong.   or if you're confused because you can't even pinpoint why this person doesn't work with your team, you just know they don't work. That's the confusion. the what and the why. So what is the position? Why do you need it? And then how do we show up for that position? And what's the clarity around what that person's supposed to be doing?   DAT Kristy (16:41) I love that you say that, Tiff, because how many times do we even identify, let's just take an easy one. I need to hire a greeter, right? And they need to smile and they have to be able to answer the phone too, but it isn't just answering the phone. It's hearing the warm smile and we do it this way. How much of that did you portray? And even how much of that did you include in your interview process?   The Dental A Team (17:07) ⁓ uh-huh.   DAT Kristy (17:08) you know   what I mean? Did you have them answer a phone? This is really ⁓ a different way of looking at things, but I learned a different process when I was in practice where ⁓ at the end of the applying, it says, do not submit your resume. And we wanted somebody with detail. And so the people that submitted their resumes, mean, some of were great, but we threw it out, right? And we never ever   We also took bias, like people bias out of it. And so our first interview was always over the phone without seeing them. And we would instruct them to call at a certain time and how to handle the call. Like you're gonna schedule me an appointment for, and we wanted to hear, like we gave them specifics and hear how they deliver. Can you see how that then starts to align with our how and why? We painted the clarity of what to do.   and then listened for the results and saw how naturally they fit, if you will. It's a different strategy, but.   The Dental A Team (18:11) Absolutely, we used,   it totally is. used to do, ⁓ what's your favorite, respond to this with your favorite ice cream in the subject line or your favorite candy or your favorite baseball team. I've got offices that are in Chicago and you know, there's the Cubs and the White Sox are both Chicago. So it's like, what's your favorite ⁓ baseball team? Not to say, I love that baseball team too or yes, Sprinkles ice cream is the best, but to say, you caught that detail.   in there and I love that you said that, Kristy. used to, Kiera and I once upon a time had a recruiting company. We are not doing that anymore, everyone, and it is hard. I hated it. It was a long time ago. We don't need to go back there, but that's how I used to schedule the interviews. I would say, awesome. I will chat with you on Tuesday at 2 p.m. You call me. So if they didn't call me, if they missed that interview, they were out. It was an automatic out for me, or if they called late, but I do agree.   with getting the preliminary done, not having a face-to-face for the first time, listen for the details of what you need for that position. So if you're hiring a billing rep and you get someone you're like, I didn't love her on the phone, well, she's not talking to you, she's talking to insurance companies. So that might be okay. But if you're hiring a greeter that you're like, she was super shy, she didn't really, like she wasn't super forthcoming, she didn't have any questions for me, it wasn't engaging, is your patient gonna enjoy talking to that person on the other side? But then flip side of that, Kristy, I think you mentioned   something really, really beautiful you said, if we're hiring a greeter and we want that smiley personality, we want that bubbly person, like you're hiring for those things, but I've also seen practices, and this drives me a little nuts, I've seen practices that are like, I want the bubbly person who's building relationships with the patients, they're smiling, they're making eye contact, and they're excited to see the patients as soon as they walk through the door, they also answer the calls and they can pass it off. You find that person.   DAT Kristy (19:52) You   The Dental A Team (20:08) Right? And then they're like, her details suck and she can't multitask. Well, guess what? Those are two very differing personalities and you got to choose your heart. If she's stellar at building the relationships and your patients are fine waiting five minutes in the front lobby because she's sitting there talking to them and they're not angry when they go to the back, might be okay that she didn't call the insurance company for whatever, you know, whatever detail was.   miss, like then at that point it's do we have clarification of roles and are the duties in the right seat? Because personality will make a massive difference to the results that you want and you've got to figure out the type of person that you want in those seats as well.   DAT Kristy (20:46) Okay.   Yeah. The other factor in that too, Tiff, and I think in a way you touched on it was, it a skill thing or a will thing? You know, we've got to understand and also set benchmarks for time, right? I literally was talking to a practice last week and I just kept hearing, don't have time and we don't have time. And I'm just thinking, you know, we can always say, well, when I learned back in 19, whatever,   The Dental A Team (21:04) Yeah.   DAT Kristy (21:24) go there, but you know, we were just thrown in and that doesn't mean it's the right way. It doesn't mean it's the right way. And you know, we owe it to people to give them the time to onboard them and show them what we want. And it goes back to how you said, choose your heart. The time we spend early will reap rewards.   The Dental A Team (21:48) Totally agree. I think that's brilliant. we have worked so hard on our onboarding process to match it with our expectations and to match it with our core values and our mission and our vision because we want our team to be onboarded correctly, not willy-nilly. It was kind of like haphazard. honestly, we've hired a lot of amazing people and a lot of people who   They were, they are amazing humans. We've not hired anyone who's not an amazing human. I have loved everyone that we hired, but they may not have been the right fit for us, either at that time or just in general. It doesn't mean that they're not a good person. It just means that it didn't fit. And I am a firm believer in any aspect of life. If it's not fitting for me, it's not fitting for them either. It's not, there's no way.   we can coexist with one of us not working out and the other one working out. It just doesn't work that way. So this was so much more fun than the original topic we looked at. Thank you for taking that.   DAT Kristy (22:53) Yeah, agree, agree. Yeah, I'm with you   Tiff. mean, if we're off boarding so many people, let's just take a step back and focus on our onboarding and how we can choose differently. So, cause it's not fun off boarding. It isn't.   The Dental A Team (23:08) No, no,   and I don't want that to be like, eventually that is gonna be a conversation. It is a protocol that you do need to have in place. It should be very simple. There should be no questions asked and the person should be like, yep, got it, okay. They might still be angry, that's fine. That's an emotional situation, but there shouldn't be questions around it. And if you need help building that, fine. We've got references, we've got information, we've got documents we can help you with, but realistically,   take a step back and say, how can I prevent the need to off board someone? I want everyone here forever. having that protocol, sure, got it in our back pocket for if it is necessary, but how do I prevent that need? I don't want that at all. So go back through your hiring process and look at the team members that hired well. Like I'll look at Kristy and say, how did I attract Kristy to my team? How did I attract Trish to my team? Like Monica, to my team, Monica was a   referral from Trish because Trish knew that this was a fit for Monica. Trish knew it was a fit for us for the same reasons Kristy did. I actually, we didn't even realize until after Trish started the hiring process, she knew me previously, didn't even realize because it was a different space of life that we were connected. She applied to our company because she wanted to work with our company, not because of me. So it's just really cool to watch those things happen. So moving forward with hiring, I look at   DAT Kristy (24:28) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (24:34) the consultants that I have, Dana, and I say, what attracted this human, this perfect specimen of a consultant to our company? And how do I emanate that in the information I'm putting outward? Like the podcast, the job ads, those pieces, how do I make sure that I recruit those people again?   DAT Kristy (24:54) I agree with you. And you mentioned this early on too. One of my biggest tips would be make sure you're speaking to that employee in the beginning of your ad. So many times people write it about themselves. This is why, you know, but they're buying into what it's an emotional thing that it's going to bring to them. So make sure you're speaking to that, you know, on the onset of your.   The Dental A Team (25:20) I totally agree with you. That is a massive point. We get caught up in wanting people to want us. We want people to want to work with us. And I do want people to want to work with us, but I want people to first see themselves in the job, in the person that I'm describing. I want them to be able to check, check, check, say, yes, that's me, yes, that's me, yes, I want this, yes, I want to work with this company.   DAT Kristy (25:43) 100%. Yeah.   The Dental A Team (25:45) Awesome. All right, guys, I hope this was beneficial. think biggest takeaways, biggest action items, make sure number one, we talk about this all the time, you guys, core values, mission, vision, job descriptions are in alignment. We preach on this because you guys, it is the core of your company. So if those things, your org chart, those pieces are out of alignment, they're not solid yet, reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com We can get on a call, kind of figure out what needs to happen. If you are our client, reach out to your consultant.   Easy peasy. Okay, don't reach out to hello. That gets a little confusing when things like that come through. So if you have a consultant on your team already on your side, reach out to your consultant. ⁓ Secondary to that, check and see like what's working, what's not working, and how can you duplicate what's working? How can you duplicate that higher and keep people for the long haul? I would love if every time we quote unquote off boarded someone, it was truly because they had a life change, not because   it was the wrong place for either of us. And sometimes we do outgrow each other. I do have to put that out there. If you're a team of seven today, and in a year and a half, you're a team of 13, 14, sometimes those team of seven team members need a team of seven. And that's okay too. That's an out, that's a life change. That's a, this space is no longer working for me. That's a life change. It's a growth space. That's okay too. It doesn't mean that there was something wrong. It just means that we're in a new space. So go check those pieces. If you're in the hiring world right now,   Check your ads, make sure your ads are speaking to you, and then check the kind of applicants that you're getting to your ads. Is there a trend in the type of applicants you're getting? Are they all wrong? Are they all right? Are they mediocre? Kind of check that and then revamp your ad to fit to attract someone different if you're not getting the right people. Kristy, thank you so much. This one was, like I said, this was really fun. At first I think we both were like, wow, that's a little wild. ⁓   DAT Kristy (27:39) What?   The Dental A Team (27:42) But I had a lot of fun with this one. So thank you for taking that journey with me, Kristy.   DAT Kristy (27:46) Yeah, absolutely. Thank you. Always a pleasure.   The Dental A Team (27:49) Thank you. Awesome. All right, guys, go drop us a five star review because you know this one was amazing. This was super fun for us. And also let us know what you loved. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help you. Again, if you're not yet a client, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com is a really easy space to reach us at. If you are a current client that we love and adore, we love and adore you on a consultant basis. So reach out to your consultant. She is here waiting to help you.

Rev. James Harper preaches on Ecclesiastes 5:8-20 in our sermon series, "The Search: Questions of Meaning and Purpose."    The book of Ecclesiastes reveals that money and possessions cannot provide lasting satisfaction due to our insatiable human appetite, the temporary nature of material things, and wealth's tendency to distract us from real problems. True contentment comes from grounding our satisfaction in God rather than wealth. When properly oriented, money becomes a useful tool that can contribute to happiness through funding experiences with loved ones, buying time for relationships, saving for goals, and giving generously to meaningful causes. The key is displacing money from the center of our lives and replacing it with God, trusting Him to provide for our needs while using wealth as a tool for His glory.

Welcome to Faith Church Online. As we grow in our maturity in Christ, we are called to put of the old self and put on the new man. Meaning this: Are there areas in my life that I am stuck in old, dead habits? To put on the new man, my heart and mind are being renewed by the truth of Jesus. We hope this serves you well!

The Art of Conscious Meaning-Making - How to Recreate Your Interpretations

A BIOGRAPHY OF A MOUNTAIN: The Making and Meaning of Mt. Rushmore, by Matthew Davis Mt. Rushmore, written in light of recent political controversies, and a timely retrospective for the monument's 100th anniversary in 2025. Davis has penned an impressive work of narrative nonfiction, combining history with reportage, bringing this complicated and nuanced story of the famous, and infamous, mountain to life.From the lands origins as sacred tribal ground; to the expansion of the American West; to the complicated and larger-than-life personality of Gutzon Borglum, the artist who carved the presidential faces into the mountain; and, up to the politicized present-day conflicts over the site and its future, Matthew Davis paints a fascinating picture of perhaps the most debated monument in our nation. Gerard Baker, the first Native American superintendent of Mt. Rushmore shared this sentiment about the mountain with the author: "Well, most people want to come to a national park and leave with that warm fuzzy feeling with an ice cream cone. Rushmore can't do that if you do it the right way. If you do it the right way people are going to be leaving pissed." That perhaps sums up the complicated history of Rushmore better than any other, especially with talk of additional sculpture(s) added to the side of the mountain?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

This episode explores the core idea that ADHD brains are wired for context rather than linear order. Ash and Dusty explain how people with ADHD often struggle with outlines, step-by-step plans, and standalone documentation, because their meaning-making is dialogic and contextual. They describe common challenges—difficulty starting projects from an outline, trouble following instructions without the chance to ask clarifying questions, and cycles of avoidance or acting from desperation when outside pressures drive behavior. Practical examples include classroom learning, workplace documentation, and personal projects where contextual cues or real-time conversation make the difference between understanding and confusion. The hosts also highlight the strengths that come from contextual thinking: creative problem-solving, rapid performance in crises, and the ability to bridge different perspectives. They show how coaching can help by surfacing hidden contexts—values, cultural expectations, and assumptions—that drive unhelpful patterns, so clients can choose actions aligned with what actually matters to them. The episode closes with a reminder that “simple” ideas aren't always accessible without the right context, and that recognizing how ADHD thinkers search for meaning is key to better learning, productivity, and self-understanding.

11.10.25 Hour 4 1:00- We finally give our takeaways from the NFL as week 10 is almost wrapped up. 21:00- Do you think Washington can "fix" its defense? Meaning, not be historically bad?

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Jessica Talisman, founder of Contextually and creator of the Ontology Pipeline, about the deep connections between knowledge management, library science, and the emerging world of AI systems. Together they explore how controlled vocabularies, ontologies, and metadata shape meaning for both humans and machines, why librarianship has lessons for modern tech, and how cultural context influences what we call “knowledge.” Jessica also discusses the rise of AI librarians, the problem of “AI slop,” and the need for collaborative, human-centered knowledge ecosystems. You can learn more about her work at Ontology Pipeline and find her writing and talks on LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop welcomes Jessica Talisman to discuss Contextually, ontologies, and how controlled vocabularies ground scalable systems.05:00 They compare philosophy's ontology with information science, linking meaning, categorization, and sense-making for humans and machines.10:00 Jessica explains why SQL and Postgres can't capture knowledge complexity and how neuro-symbolic systems add context and interoperability.15:00 The talk turns to library science's split from big data in the 1990s, metadata schemas, and the FAIR principles of findability and reuse.20:00 They discuss neutrality, bias in corporate vocabularies, and why “touching grass” matters for reconciling internal and external meanings.25:00 Conversation shifts to interpretability, cultural context, and how Western categorical thinking differs from China's contextual knowledge.30:00 Jessica introduces process knowledge, documentation habits, and the danger of outsourcing how-to understanding.35:00 They explore knowledge as habit, the tension between break-things culture and library design thinking, and early AI experiments.40:00 Libraries' strategic use of AI, metadata precision, and the emerging role of AI librarians take focus.45:00 Stewart connects data labeling, Surge AI, and the economics of good data with Jessica's call for better knowledge architectures.50:00 They unpack content lifecycle, provenance, and user context as the backbone of knowledge ecosystems.55:00 The talk closes on automation limits, human-in-the-loop design, and Jessica's vision for collaborative consulting through Contextually.Key InsightsOntology is about meaning, not just data structure. Jessica Talisman reframes ontology from a philosophical abstraction into a practical tool for knowledge management—defining how things relate and what they mean within systems. She explains that without clear categories and shared definitions, organizations can't scale or communicate effectively, either with people or with machines.Controlled vocabularies are the foundation of AI literacy. Jessica emphasizes that building a controlled vocabulary is the simplest and most powerful way to disambiguate meaning for AI. Machines, like people, need context to interpret language, and consistent terminology prevents the “hallucinations” that occur when systems lack semantic grounding.Library science predicted today's knowledge crisis. Stewart and Jessica trace how, in the 1990s, tech went down the path of “big data” while librarians quietly built systems of metadata, ontologies, and standards like schema.org. Today's AI challenges—interoperability, reliability, and information overload—mirror problems library science has been solving for decades.Knowledge is culturally shaped. Drawing from Patrick Lambe's work, Jessica notes that Western knowledge systems are category-driven, while Chinese systems emphasize context. This cultural distinction explains why global AI models often miss nuance or moral voice when trained on limited datasets.Process knowledge is disappearing. The West has outsourced its “how-to” knowledge—what Jessica calls process knowledge—to other countries. Without documentation habits, we risk losing the embodied know-how that underpins manufacturing, engineering, and even creative work.Automation cannot replace critical thinking. Jessica warns against treating AI as “room service.” Automation can support, but not substitute, human judgment. Her own experience with a contract error generated by an AI tool underscores the importance of review, reflection, and accountability in human–machine collaboration.Collaborative consulting builds knowledge resilience. Through her consultancy, Contextually, Jessica advocates for “teaching through doing”—helping teams build their own ontologies and vocabularies rather than outsourcing them. Sustainable knowledge systems, she argues, depend on shared understanding, not just good technology.

In today's episode, Dr. Killeen reflects on a powerful quote by William James Dawson about how wealth—and the pleasure it brings—starts to lose meaning when it becomes limitless. He connects this idea not only to money but also to how we spend our time. As dentists, entrepreneurs, and leaders, it's easy to slip into autopilot—spending, upgrading, or working without intention. Dr. Killeen challenges us to pause and ask: are we still finding joy and purpose in how we use our resources, or just going through the motions? A thoughtful reminder to bring meaning back to both your wallet and your calendar.

What if your next level of success produced more peace, profits, and personal freedom? This week's guest is giving us his simple formula to do just that. Executive coach Jordan Freed is known for helping top performers break conditioned limits and build businesses that feel as good as they look. In this conversation you'll hear: How to determine what freedom actually is for you What your “out-of-alignment” notifications look like How to replace the high achiever's dilemma with a saner, stronger fuel source Strategies to practice radical acceptance and surrender without giving up your ambition The simple way to train your mind like a guard dog so it reacts to real threats, not imagined ones  If you're ready to trade the high achiever's dilemma for a saner, stronger way to win, this one's for you. Press play on The Freed Life Formula, share it with a friend who's on the verge of her next breakthrough, and leave a quick rating so more leaders can build businesses that feel as good as they look.

You cannot manage time. You can only manage your choices around how you use your time. Journal Prompts: What are the notifications I have been ignoring that I'm out of alignment? Is the strength of my vision strengthening me or sacrificing me? Would I consciously teach my kids to approach my life and business the same way I do? What would the hero version of me do right now?

Jen Psaki looks at Donald Trump's callous disregard for Americans who are struggling to cover living costs while he learns that "affordability" is an important political buzzword but all of his policies only make things more expensive.Senator Ruben Gallego talks with Jen Psaki about the Republicans' cruel leverage tactics in the fight to manipulate Democrats into supporting a budget that will hurt tens of millions of people. Republicans have set up the argument to pit people who need food assistance against people who need health care subsidies. Earlier, Republican Senate Leader John Thune said the quiet part out loud when he disparaged Americans who need food and health care assistance, injecting further divisiveness into the debate.Jen Psaki shares breaking news that the Supreme Court has agreed to a Trump administration request to temporarily block a lower court judge's order to resume full SNAP payments until the case can be heard by a circuit court. Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, one of two groups presenting a coalition of states suing the Trump administration over SNAP cut, joins to discuss.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When the sun peeks through the clouds after a storm, we usually start looking around for a rainbow. It's one of the most beautiful sights in nature, and can be observed throughout the world. But did you know it's not merely a natural occurrence, but has a divine meaning?Music Credit: J. S. Bach, “Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten,” aria from “Jesu, der du meine Seele,” BWV 78 (Leipzig, 1724).

Mutually Exclusive Points of View “Mutually Exclusive Points Of View,” presents a model called the "world stage," a closed media system that dictates two polarized perspectives: "woke town" (extreme left) and "trutherville" (extreme right). This system, which includes the centrist "normville," is described as a "duopoly" or "false choice" where both sides are controlled opposition, arguing over responsibilities while agreeing on core issues and passively consuming manufactured media. The speaker advocates for an "off-world stage" perspective, characterized by active non-belief and the recognition that history is "proactively manufactured" through scheduled psychological operations and "systemic fakery." This "off-world stage" position aims to opt out of the media-driven "civil war," viewing media, politics, and historical events as a fully manipulated ecosystem.That is a great request. Drawing directly from the sources, here are five quotes that illustrate some of the key concepts discussed regarding the world stage, systemic fakery, and the off-world stage perspective:"The issue here is that the conspiracies that they all believe in, the people in Trutherville, are supplied to them by alternative media, just as the belief system on the far left is supplied to them through their academia, through their their own ideologues on their side. But what you have here is effectively a duopoly. It's a false choice.""So one of the things that characterizes the world stage is everything is triangulated by the programmers.""And I often state that you cannot completely and entirely deconstruct any event by solely relying on what's on the screen.""Instead of being believers or alternative believers, we are non-believers. Meaning, we know what they believe, but we subtract what we can't verify. So, we're informed disbelievers.""So systemic fakery is a thing. It's real. It's been in use for a long time. It has an accumulated effect on our world view because every day of fake news becomes weeks, months, years, decades of fake history. bent history."

In this episode of The Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaeton engages with Rick Walker, author of 'Nine Steps to Build a Life of Meaning.' They discuss the importance of family, the challenges young men face today, and the necessity of embracing failure as a pathway to growth. Rick shares practical advice for daily improvement, the value of reading old books, and how facing fears can lead to personal development. The conversation emphasizes the significance of community, accountability, and the pursuit of a meaningful life.   Takeaways Too many men are winning on paper, but losing themselves. The most important thing we do is who we raise. Life is merely a string of failures with occasional moments of perfection. Pain ultimately becomes the only pathway to joy. The purpose of a good man is to invade the evil that he sees around him. The two shall become one, it doesn't say that you stop being one flesh. The thing that you least want to do is the thing you most need to do next. If you don't know what you want, find out what you don't want to exist. The older the sage, the quicker the solution. If one man's done it, another man can do it.

As the creative mind behind Blackadder, Spitting Image, Not the Nine O'Clock News and QI, John Lloyd has quietly shaped British comedy for more than forty years. In this episode of Full Disclosure, he sits down with James O'Brien to look back on the work that defined his career-and the questions that have driven him ever since.Lloyd reflects on his peripatetic naval childhood, his years at Cambridge and the realisation that comedy, not law, was his calling. He shares candid stories about discovering Rowan Atkinson, collaborating with Douglas Adams on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and co-creating The Meaning of Liff. Alongside the triumphs came struggle- including a midlife breakdown that forced him to re-examine success, purpose and the art of living.Blending humour, honesty and philosophy, Lloyd explores the connection between curiosity and creativity, why he believes comedy can change how we see the world, and how even life's disasters can turn out to be gifts.Find out more about The 42nd anniversary edition of The Meaning of Liff here

In this episode, John and Arjun Arora from the University of Toronto present an in-depth critique of current psychological and folk theories on the meaning of life. They discuss the limitations of popular constructs such as purpose, coherence, significance, and mattering, and propose a shift towards concepts like 'orientation' and 'connectedness'. Arjun shares his personal journey from nihilism to understanding meaning, emphasizing the practical significance of this research. The discussion touches on the inadequacies of traditional semantic and personal subjective interpretations, advocating for a trans-objective perspective that integrates cognitive science, phenomenology, and wisdom cultivation. The conversation also explores the notion of deepening our connection to reality and the importance of rationality, culminating in a call for a new metaphysics of meaning that is both practically and academically robust. Arjun Arora is a cognitive science and physics scholar whose work bridges science, philosophy, and the search for meaning. As a student collaborator of Dr. John Vervaeke at the University of Toronto, Arora explores questions at the intersection of cognitive science, metaphysics, and existential psychology. His research focuses on the nature of meaning in life — how orientation, coherence, and connectedness to reality shape human flourishing. Drawing on insights from philosophy, neuroscience, and contemplative traditions, Arora examines how wisdom, rationality, and self-transcendence can counter modern nihilism and restore a deeper sense of purpose. Through his academic and public collaborations, he represents a new generation of thinkers committed to integrating rigorous science with timeless questions of meaning, being, and becoming.   The Blind Spot Meaning in Life: An Analytic Study  Charles Taylor Michael Levin   — 00:00 Welcome to the Lectern 01:16 "What makes a life worth living, even when we are faced by frustrations, failures, and our faults?" 01:30 Meet Arjun Arora 03:00 Critiquing the standard model of meaning in life 04:30 Purpose and orientation 06:00 Coherence and its challenges 08:00 Significance and mattering 11:30 Meaning in life vs. meaning of life 14:30 Worldviews and meta meaning systems 17:00 The role of affordance and adaptivity 22:00 The normativity of meaning in life 47:00 The developmental dimension of meaning in life 52:00 Exploring the connection between wisdom and meaning 52:30 Modal confusion and existential modes 53:00 The having mode vs. the being mode 53:30 The cost of modal confusion 55:00 Existential resilience and meaning in life 58:00 The normative aspect of meaning 01:04:00 The role of trust and belonging in meaning 01:08:00 The problem with the current meaning in life construct 01:12:30 The need for a new metaphysics 01:43:00 The importance of phenomenology in meaning 01:45:00 Concluding thoughts and future directions     —   The Vervaeke Foundation is committed to advancing the scientific pursuit of wisdom and creating a significant impact on the world.

On today's episode, Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien sits down with Joseph Kellner, an assistant professor of history at the University of Georgia to discuss his latest book, “The Spirit of Socialism: Culture and Belief at the Soviet Collapse,” which examines the millions of Soviet people who embarked on a “spirited and highly visible search for new meaning” during the dissolution of the U.S.S.R.They discuss the questions of epistemic authority, of cultural identity, and of history's ultimate meaning that drove people to seek new spiritual meaning during this period, as well as the era's many colorful characters, including Hare Krishnas, astrologers, doomsayers, and neo-Pagans who pushed bio-healing, folk baths, and other answers to these questions. They also talk about why, when a superpower declines, shared reality dissolves.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

DREAM WITH US, and we'll teach you how to interpret them!⁠⁠Lucid dreaming is an interesting ego state when we are dreaming and regain full self-awareness. Being awake in the dream world can be useful, but imposing a rigid agenda can undermine the Dream Maker's attempts to educate and help us. Each dream is crafted to incrementally expand our awareness and acceptance of unconscious factors we need in order to grow. When we wake inside a dream, we can lose track of that important attitude and may use the dream as our playground—most people try to fly and miss significant opportunities. If we can achieve a non-grasping clarity, lucidity can deepen our inner work by enabling us to engage dream figures with the full measure of our curiosity. Researchers have various suggestions for increasing the frequency of Lucid Dreams, and ancient traditions like Dream Yoga help the aspirant learn about their mental structures. Attaining access to the inner worlds is similar to Jung's Active Imagination and can yield comparable or even better results. This is possible if we adopt a proper dream ethic: respect the dream as an autonomous process and use lucidity to inquire and relate, not to dominate.Read along with the dream HERE.Find the books we reference HERE.LOOK & GROW⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join THIS JUNGIAN LIFE DREAM SCHOOL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Do you have a topic you want us to cover?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WE NEED YOUR HELP!

In this illuminating first half of our deep-dive episode, Tom Bilyeu sits down with the brilliant and provocative historian and YouTube creator, WhatifAltHist. Known for his cutting insights into cyclical history and alternative perspectives on societal collapse, WhatifAltHist brings a wealth of knowledge on philosophy, politics, and anthropology to the discussion. The conversation kicks off with a dissection of Nietzsche's “Age of the Last Man,” exploring how Western civilization is at a crossroads characterized by complacency, lack of cultural transmission, and a dangerous loss of ambition. Part one focuses on the unraveling of shared cultural myths, the impact of rapid societal change, and why every historic society similar to ours has met with revolution. The duo investigate the destructive influence of Marxism and modern ideologies on social cohesion, what happens when traditional cultural frameworks erode, and the economic crises intersecting with culture. If you're curious about how historical patterns, economic choices, and ideological battles shape our present moment, this segment will ground you in the underlying forces of our age.

Most men think their downfall comes from stress, money, or bad luck. That's the lie.The truth? The real war is happening inside you.In this episode of The Bedros Keuilian Show, I expose the three poisons destroying men from the inside out: lust, rage, and greed. These are the same forces ancient philosophers warned about, and I've seen them take down thousands of men over the last twenty years.You'll see how lust kills discipline, confidence, and intimacy… how rage destroys relationships, reputation, and judgment… and how greed poisons purpose until nothing ever feels like enough. Then I'll show you how to fight back with self-mastery, restraint, patience, and contentment; the traits that make men powerful, grounded, and respected.If you've been feeling stuck in guilt, anger, or endless comparison, this episode is your wake-up call.Because real strength isn't domination, it's discipline over desire.DOMINATION DOWNLOADSTRAIGHT FROM THE DESK OF BEDROS KEUILIANYour weekly no B.S. newsletter to help you dominate in business and in lifehttps://bedroskeuilian.com/MAN UP SCALE BUNDLE: $29 (100% Goes to Charity)Get your Digital Man Up book + Audiobook + 2 Exclusive MASTERCLASSES & Support Shriners Children's Hospital. https://www.manuptribe.com/limited-offerREGISTER FOR THE LEGACY TRIBEGet the Life, Money, Meaning & Impact You Deservehttps://bedroskeuilian.com/legacytribeJOIN MY FREE 6-WEEK CHALLENGE:Transform into a Purpose-Driven Manhttps://bedroskeuilian.com/challengeTHE SQUIRE PROGRAM: A rite of Passage for Your Son as He Becomes a ManA Father and Son Experience That Will Be Remembered FOREVERhttps://squireprogram.com/registerTruLean Supplements | https://www.trulean.com/pages/bedrosGet 50% Off Trulean Subscribe & Save BundleUse Code: BEDROS Few Will Hunt Apparel | https://fewwillhunt.com/Get 20% Off Your Entire OrderUse Code: BEDROSOPEN A FIT BODY LOCATIONA High-Profit, Scalable Gym Franchise Opportunity Driven By Impacthttps://sales.fbbcfranchise.com/get-started?utm_source=bedrosPODCAST EPISODES:https://bedroskeuilian.com/podcast/STAY CONNECTED:Website | https://bedroskeuilian.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bedroskeuilian/LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/bedroskeuilianTwitter | https://twitter.com/bedroskeuilian
