In this Thursday episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we bring an academic lens to bookish culture, genre fiction, and the conversations shaping romance and romantasy today. Our podcast blends literary analysis, cultural criticism, and emotional honesty. We treat romance, romantasy, and fanfiction as genres worthy of serious discussion, not just quick takes. This episode is part of our Subtext Society series, inspired by The Subtext Society Journal. The Subtext Society Journal is a collaborative publication dedicated to thoughtful essays on romance, romantasy, fan culture, and publishing ethics. We explore moral questions, genre evolution, power dynamics, and the real-world impact of stories, guided by values of literary rigor without gatekeeping, community over hierarchy, and ethics-first analysis. Today's discussion focuses on the article: “Revision: Hell or Hell" Finishing a book is a major accomplishment, but the real work begins with revision, which often makes up the majority of the writing process and continues through agents, editors, and multiple drafts. There is no single “correct” way to revise; instead, writers must develop systems that help them assess the full manuscript, identify structural issues like plot holes and character arcs before focusing on prose, and organize feedback in ways that prevent overwhelm. The process can be emotionally challenging, requiring humility, patience, and openness to collaboration, especially when incorporating beta reader feedback and professional edits. Ultimately, revision is about making the story coherent and meaningful first, refining craft and style later, and recognizing that writing is not a solitary pursuit but a collaborative journey shaped by continuous refinement.

Globally, Monarch butterfly numbers are in sharp decline with populations in the United States dropping by as much as 96 percent. The outlook isn't good for Monarchs in New Zealand either. fortunately there are New Zealanders keen to change that. Franklin Farm in Auckland's Waimauku has been growing celery for nearly 120 years. When the team began noticing fewer butterflies in their fields they decided to transform part of the farm into a dedicated butterfly breeding programme Jasmine Franklin helps run Franklin Farm, she chats to Jesse.

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) was called off to 911 this week, and it's such a shame because he's missing the return of one of our dearest Carriage House friends, excuse me. Joining Ronna is none other than Robin Lord Taylor!

**Correction: In this episode it states that the number of western monarchs in 2023 was 9,000 total. This was the total number for 2024.Monarch butterflies are known as long-distance travelers, flying hundreds or thousands of miles from summer breeding areas to overwintering sites. These sites, although small, are essential for the survival of monarchs. Monarch butterflies across the western United States and into British Columbia migrate to California, where they shelter in tree groves scattered along the coast from Mendocino County to the Mexican border and further south. Beyond trees to roost in, what other features makes a grove good for monarchs? What more can we learn to help provide for their overwintering needs?Thank you for listening!

This week, Jason is joined by two of the most inspiring Detroit Lions fans you'll ever meet — Harry and Dan — in a special on-the-field episode recorded inside Ford Field after the Lions surprised Harry with an unforgettable day.Jason shares how a spontaneous Super Bowl concourse moment with Harry and Dan went viral for one simple reason: pure joy. But the story quickly became bigger — Harry's family reached out to reveal he's currently battling inoperable cancer, undergoing chemo to extend time, with no guarantee he'll make it to next season. What followed was a wave of support that reached the Detroit Lions, leading to a private tour, special messages, and a reminder of what can happen when the internet actually rallies around something good.Harry opens up about being overwhelmed by the attention, and why his approach to life has always been rooted in finding the good in every day, staying positive through the hard moments, and treating people with kindness and respect. Dan reflects on what makes Harry so loved — that he makes every interaction about the other person, and genuinely wants everyone around him to have a great day.Harry also talks about his career in the glass business and the rare kind of loyalty you almost never hear about anymore: after his diagnosis, his employer at Weather Guard Window Company gave him a written promise that he'd always have a job there, supporting him fully through treatment and time off when needed.Jason and David wrap with a powerful takeaway: the “power of humanity” is real — and Harry's light is proof that a single moment of kindness can ripple into thousands of people reconnecting with gratitude, perspective, and the people they love.Harry and Dan reveal all this and more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Trading Secrets Steals & Deals!Monarch:Monarch isn't your average personal finance app. Unlike most other personal finance apps, Monarch is built to make you proactive, not just reactive.

Send a textA rye cube, a lemon twist, and a splash of absinthe set the night in motion. We open with the Sazerac, swapping notes between Boatwright's at Port Orleans and our own New Orleans–style build, then take that same love of craft into a wild thought experiment: which non‑Disney characters and worlds would thrive under Disney's storytelling?We start with the legends. Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes spark a debate about timeless comedy, park characters, and the kind of physical gags that make queues feel alive. From there, we slide into Scooby‑Doo hijinks, SpongeBob's Bikini Bottom, and Bedrock's bronto‑size charm—proof that retro IP can still deliver modern magic. Gaming and anime icons raise the stakes: Mario's jump‑happy momentum, Pikachu's collect‑and‑trade culture, Sonic's speed run energy, and Hello Kitty's soft‑power merch. Each brings interactivity, replay value, and social fun that match how guests actually play parks today.We push beyond cartoons into cinematic sandboxes. Imagine a mid‑century Mad Men lounge with proper cocktails and impeccable woodwork. Picture Ghostbusters as a show‑driven effects playground, a Die Hard‑inspired tower drop with narrative beats, and a Jurassic World zone that sells scale without screen fatigue. Then we go epic: Middle‑earth as a multi‑land dream with the Shire's warmth, Rivendell's serenity, and Mordor's percussion and heat; Wizard of Oz for technicolor wonder and storm‑tossed transitions; Willy Wonka for edible illusions, fizzy‑lifting laughs, and music that hums through the pathways. Along the way we weigh Transformers, King Kong's Monarch universe, Hunger Games, Smurfs, Popeye, Garfield, Jetsons, and G.I. Joe—asking where Disney's “story per minute” advantage can turn good IP into unforgettable place.It's part cocktail hour, part imagineering session, and all heart for the details that make parks sing: scent, light, texture, music, and a wink of humor. Tap play, then tell us your top three non‑Disney IPs you'd hand to Disney and why. If you're vibing with the show, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a quick review—it helps more Disney lovers find our little corner of magic. Cheers!

Don't miss this special 3-year anniversary of 'Catching Up to FI' as Bill marks the moment by doing something he's been helping everyone else do for years: officially 'coming out' as financially independent (FI)! It is hard to believe that the show has been around for 3 years, 196 episodes, 20k Facebook Community members, 1.4M audio downloads and 300k views on YouTube. Is this real?   Today we celebrate Bill's journey from Episode #1: 'A Boat Named Yolo', to officially reaching FI, but feels more like the 'The Fog of FI'. During this interview, Jackie gets Bill to open up and vulnerably share details of his wake-up call at 50: burned out, sued, house-poor after a disastrous renovation and de-risking at the bottom of the Great Recession, and still living paycheck to paycheck despite a 'rich doctor' income. He walks through discovering FI via blogs and books, taking a full year to reclaim his money from private bankers and whole life policies (he's naming names!). Bill's real superpower was boosting his savings rate up to ~40% in his early 50s using Mr. Money Mustache's 'shockingly simple math' to accept a 10 to 15-year timeline.   Fast-forward to 60 and a retirement-readiness check with a flat-fee, advice-only planner: after three years of expense tracking in Monarch Money, a comprehensive plan, and stress-testing with risk-parity portfolios, Bill gets the verdict every late starter dreams of, 'you could retire tomorrow'— and feels weirdly flat. We also dig into the emotional side: the identity crisis of possibly leaving medicine, using newfound leverage to negotiate work on his own terms, the choice to glide out over several years instead of cliff-retiring, and the shift from building wealth to giving with warm hands, mentoring younger docs, and helping his adult sons lay foundations he never had.   We close with Bill's hard-earned advice:  ➡️ Reverse-engineer your life from your tombstone ➡️ Focus on health span as fiercely as net worth ➡️ Stop over-identifying with your job or your number ➡️ Remember that for late starters, the real win is feeling less alone while you build a life you won't regret.   ====================   DEALS & DISCOUNTS FROM OUR TRUSTED PARTNERS:   MONARCH MONEY The modern way to manage money! Monarch will change the way you organize your financial life.

“I think that we are most likely to benefit from such an encounter than to suffer from it,” says physicist Avi Loeb, PhD, who describes himself as an optimist in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Today, Loeb shares: What astronomy and dating have in common. His theories on the three interstellar objects that have been observed (including 3I/ATLAS). Why it’s likely that other intelligent civilizations exist. And why he thinks it would be wonderful to meet them—and imperative for the future of human beings that we do so.

Bram komt net terug van een boeiende reis naar Taiwan, waar hij een kijkje mocht nemen in de fabriek van Google, waar onder meer de vernieuwingen in de Pixel-telefoons worden gemaakt. Ook sprak hij met Android-topman Seang Chau. Verder vandaag: opvallende uitspraak van Netflix en de HDR van Disney+, toch weer gedoe met de smart home-gadgets van IKEA, China heeft sci-fi-oorlogsdromen, een Europese browser is klaar met AI en in Australië hebben ze een doeltreffende manier bedacht om met illegale e-bikes om te gaan. Tips uit deze aflevering: 3D-printer: Op de redactie van Bright staat sinds kort een Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2: een best betaalbare 3D-printer waar iedereen enthousiast omheen dromt. Een aanrader voor elk bedrijf: 3D-printen blijkt prima teambuilding. Serie: Monarch seizoen 2 begint eind 27 februari op Apple TV. Mooi moment om het eerste seizoen te bekijken als je dat gemist hebt. De serie speelt zich af in het Godzilla-universum en volgt de oprichting van Monarch, de organisatie die Godzilla en andere giganten volgt en probeert te stoppen. Springt steeds tussen twee tijden, waarin Kurt Russell en zijn zoon Wyatt hetzelfde personage spelen. Onzin, maar wel leuke onzin met prima special effects. Serie: Wil je even geen tech of scifi? Ik heb net twee seizoenen Bodemvan maker en hoofdrolspeler Eva Crutzen back-to-back gekeken. Volgens Erwin de beste Nederlandse serie van 21ste eeuw: doet denken aan Fleabag van Phoebe Waller-Bridge, ook zo’n topserie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Robin Perry Braun never wanted to work with satanic ritual abuse survivors; it seemed too dark, too slow, too brutal. But God kept bringing them to her holistic psychology practice. In 2021, she finally surrendered. That's when God revealed something shocking: these aren't just trauma victims barely surviving. The enemy spent their lives programming them as super soldiers for a New World Order through projects like Monarch, MKUltra, and Montauk. Then God, the Master of plot twists, reclaimed them. Once healed, they have spiritual authority to demolish demonic realms and free thousands. They're why darkness is being exposed right now.Robin walks us through the hierarchy of government mind control programs (Nazi experiments that became CIA black ops), why every person selected has Illuminati bloodlines (DNA as quantum storage of occult power), and how programming works: torture from the womb, electroshock, double binds that force impossible choices, and marriage ceremonies to demons by age 12. She shares cases that sound impossible—time travel, spacecraft transport, the Hitler Project, pastors with hidden ritual-performing alters they don't know exist. Around 2012, Looking Glass alien tech showed the deep state that they can't win in any future timeline. That's why veils are lifting.We discuss why survivors' stories can be trusted (thousands with identical accounts, physical evidence, documented dissociative disorders), how Freemasonry creates generational demonic legal ground affecting families for generations, why concerts trap soul fragments, mermaid kingdoms, quantum physics principles in Scripture, and why the modern church has such a truncated view of the supernatural. The message isn't fear—it's hope. We're winning. It looks darker because darkness is being exposed, but exposure means it's losing power. God parted the Red Sea. He can do miraculous things now, too.

#332: If you've been waiting for permission, validation, or a sign to make a change, this is it.In this episode of the “How to Get What You Want” series, I'm sitting down with psychic medium, spiritual teacher, and author Aycee Brown for a conversation about the one thing standing between you and the life you want: telling yourself the truth.Because most of the time when you feel stuck, it's a sign of self-rejection, not confusion.Together, we unpack why clarity is the real catalyst for manifestation, how many of us unconsciously abandon our desires to be more palatable, and what it looks like to trust your body, your intuition, and your inner knowing.If luck is created through alignment, then honesty is where it begins.Aycee also shares how spiritual frameworks like astrology, numerology, and human design can deepen your self-understanding, why success can feel more threatening than failure, and how small acts of self-trust build the life you've been envisioning.Consider this your reminder: you don't need to become someone else to have the life you want. You need to embody who you already are.This episode is for you if…You know you want more and you're done pretending you don't.You're ready to be honest about what you want.You've outgrown who you used to be.You're learning that self-trust is the real strategy.You want clarity — not confusion — guiding your next chapter.You're done waiting for luck to knock on your door and are ready to create it.Episode Links:Follow Aycee on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ayceebrown/Follow Aycee on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ayceebrownListen to Aycee's podcast “Is My Aura on Straight?” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/is-my-aura-on-straight/id1459927270Order Aycee's new book “Embody Your Magic” out February 17: https://bookshop.org/a/55347/9780063360327Sponsors:IM8: if you're ready to feel more like your best self, go to IM8HEALTH.com/lucky and use code LUCKY.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOIn the historic mining town of Victor, the Black Monarch Hotel stands as a place where the past never fully loosened its grip. Once a raucous saloon, casino, and brothel, the building was infamous in the early 1900s as “the finest gentleman's club this side of the Mississippi.” Its walls have witnessed wealth and violence, indulgence and desperation — and, according to many, something far harder to explain.After a devastating fire in 1899, the structure was rebuilt and renamed, but whatever lingered from its earliest days never truly left. When Adam Zimmerli encountered the long-vacant building generations later, he saw more than decay. He saw an opportunity to restore its grandeur while honoring its strange and unsettled history.Today, the Black Monarch's Victorian gothic décor, themed rooms, and reputation for unnerving encounters have made it one of the most talked-about haunted hotels in the West. Guests report unexplained sounds, shadowy figures, and a sense of being watched — reminders that this is more than a place to spend the night.

Citing concentration risk as well as the possibility for volatility, regulators are supposedly trying to prevent depositories from buying bonds. If this sounds familiar, it should since the PBOC did something similar in the summer of 2024.

Esta semana en El Garaje de Cupertino vienen curvas (y de las buenas): se habla del iPhone 17e que, según comentan, aterriza el 19 de febrero con chip A19, módem propio C1X, chip N1 (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Thread) y el “por fin” que muchos esperaban: MagSafe… aunque siga con notch y una sola cámara. ¿La gran pregunta? Si de verdad es el iPhone “sensato” para quien quiere algo nuevo sin dejarse un riñón.Pero el episodio no se queda ahí: hay repaso de Apple TV+ y su “lluvia de estrellas” para 2026, con titulares como el regreso de Ted Lasso (temporada 4), la vuelta de Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (27 de febrero) y más estrenos con fechas apuntadas en rojo.En clave práctica, aviso importante para domótica: mañana, 10 de febrero, es la fecha límite para actualizar la app Casa/HomeKit, y quien no lo haga “puede perder acceso” a accesorios y automatizaciones. Si tienes bombillas, enchufes o termostatos conectados… hoy es el día de revisarlo.Y, como no podía faltar, se entra a fondo en el elefante del salón: Apple Intelligence, Siri y la IA agéntica. Desde lo que dejó caer Tim Cook (“la IA habilitará nuevas categorías de productos y servicios”) hasta la expectativa por la beta de iOS 26.4 (semana del 23 de febrero), donde se rumorea esa “Siri contextual” capaz de entender lenguaje natural y ejecutar acciones de verdad (rollo “agente” que orquesta herramientas), con comparaciones y debate sobre el salto que Apple necesita dar para no llegar tarde.Todo ello con el sello del Garaje: bromas, off-topics (sí, también sale San Valentín y la idea de regalos tech), y esa mezcla de hype + escepticismo que convierte cada rumor en conversación de bar… pero con mucho Apple encima de la mesa.Conviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/el-garaje-de-cupertino--3153796/support.

AJ and Johnny sit down with neuroscientist Emily Falk to explore why our goals so often collapse after January, and what the brain is actually optimizing for when we make decisions. Emily explains how the brain's value system prioritizes the present self over future goals, why environment beats willpower, and how identity, social influence, and habit systems quietly shape what we do every day. From New Year's resolutions to loneliness, leadership, and purpose, this episode reveals how to design choices that stick by working with the brain instead of against it. 00:00 – Why resolutions fail after January05:00 – The brain's value calculator and present bias10:00 – Identity, purpose, and what we think is “fixed”15:00 – How social influence shapes what we value20:00 – Loneliness, power, and perspective loss25:00 – Designing environments that change behavior A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠unlockyourxfactor.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.  Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠artofcharm.com/intel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠for a social intelligence assessment and discover exactly what's holding you back.

This week, Jason is joined by luxury real estate developer, entrepreneur, and one of the standout stars of Netflix's Members Only Palm Beach, Hilary Musser!With more than two decades in Palm Beach, Hilary has built a powerhouse career in high-end real estate, overseeing and selling millions and millions of dollars in luxury properties and custom waterfront estates. Known for her sharp business instincts, meticulous eye for design, and a deep understanding of elite social circles, Hilary brings a unique perspective on wealth, influence, and building success on your own terms. Hilary opens up about why she doesn't believe in the idea of “Palm Beach royalty,” and how she's focused on building something entirely her own in Palm Beach in 2005. She breaks down what that process really looks like, from developer margins to the importance of exceptional taste and staying true to her brand. She also shares how she reaches her buyers, and the unexpected path that led her to working with Netflix. Hilary talks about her friendship with Jill Zarin, why she has no plans to join the Real Housewives franchise, and the kinds of shows she actually enjoys. She reflects on how her son views her time on reality TV, a moment she wishes she had heard in real time, and the biggest lessons she took from the experience—especially when it comes to protecting her son and maintaining her values around love and money.She also gets into the details of her closet, her personal rules of etiquette, her charity work, and the future goals she's most excited about.Hilary reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Host: Jason TartickCo-Host: David ArduinAudio: John GurneyGuest: Hilary Musser + WebsiteStay connected with the Trading Secrets Podcast! Instagram: @tradingsecretspodcast Youtube: Trading SecretsFacebook: Join the GroupTrading Secrets Steals & Deals!Monarch:Monarch isn't your average personal finance app. Unlike most other personal finance apps, Monarch is built to make you proactive, not just reactive.

I reached out to Mandii because her personality online seemed very relatable and even funny- after getting to know her through this podcast interview, I learned she is a badass! Her prior job was in security, and she was in the Marine Corp as well.  Modeling became her full time gig after a while! I was so surprised at all the shifts Mandii has made throughout her life, I can tell she has the drive to make things happen.  Check out Mandii on her IG: https://www.instagram.com/mandii_monarch/ Cover Image by SwipeRight Photo

Description:Today we're talking about something most of us sideline, postpone, or avoid entirely until life forces our hand: MONEY. This is a topic our host Jen Hatmaker knows all too well. For years, Jen let her then husband handle all of the bills, the budgeting, the taxes, the investments, everything. When she walked through divorce in midlife, she had to start from zero. It was humbling, terrifying, and ultimately deeply empowering. We're thrilled to bring you today's guest: Jean Chatzky, bestselling author, Emmy-winning financial journalist, CEO of HerMoney, and host of the hugely popular HerMoney Podcast. Jean is one of America's most trusted voices on personal finance, with decades spent breaking down complicated concepts into simple, actionable steps—especially for women who have historically been excluded from financial conversations.   In this discussion, we go straight to the questions so many of us have but don't know how to ask: Where do you even start if finances feel overwhelming? How do you build confidence around money after years of letting someone else handle it? What does stability actually look like in midlife, especially for women navigating divorce, caregiving, career transitions, or reinvention? We talk about the mechanics of getting your financial life organized, and the emotional stories women carry around worth, fear, and permission. Jean offers grounding guidance you can act on today—whether it's tackling debt, starting to invest, or finally creating some safety and agency around your money. If you've ever felt late to the financial game, intimidated by jargon, or unsure how to build security for the next chapter—this episode will meet you with compassion, clarity, and courage. Jean is a generous teacher, and we cannot wait for you to learn from her. Thought-provoking Quotes: “This is one of those things that we absolutely can blame on our parents because we weren't raised in homes necessarily where women took the lead on finances. And we tend to model what we grew up with.” – Jean Chatzky “Women are an army of perfectionists and many of us don't like to do things until we know that we can do them correctly. And with money, there are some things where I can give you an answer. But if you ask me what's the best stock or what's the best mutual fund or what's the best investment strategy, I can give you an answer that's worked historically, but I can't give you a perfect answer. And a lot of us are just not comfortable with that.” – Jean Chatzky “I've been around a lot of people who've made a lot of money mistakes that are solvable. The one that's not solvable is not starting, because if you ask any older woman, what they wish they had done differently where their money is concerned, a hundred of them are gonna tell you, I wish I had started investing earlier.” – Jean Chatzky Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Jean Chatzky's HerMoney Podcast – https://hermoney.com/t/podcasts/ From Financially In the Dark to Fully In Control: Jen Hatmaker's Wake-Up Call – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-financially-in-the-dark-to-fully-in-control-jen/id1098802558?i=1000740622343 Monarch money management app – https://www.monarch.com/ Rocket Money –https://www.rocketmoney.com/ Openbank High Yield Savings account – https://secureapply.openbank.us/savings/intro/welcome Guest's Links: Website - https://hermoney.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jeanchatzky Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JeanChatzky/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@jeanchatzky Podcast - https://hermoney.com/t/podcasts/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Strap in, because Jackie joins Brad Barrett for a crossover episode on the ChooseFI podcast, home of the world's largest FI community! Together, they rewind all the way back to 2017, when Jackie first stumbled onto ChooseFI… and everything changed. She recounts her journey to reaching early retirement by December 2019, and using that freedom to go back to school, get her CFP, and write 'F.I.R.E. for Dummies'. Then the two of them dive deep into the fundamentals and break down what financial independence really means. They explain why even ten dollars a month can spark a lifelong investing habit, and how Jackie's first investment club taught her the power of community and compounding. They decode 401(k)s, demystify fund selection, and spotlight the quiet villain of investing: expense ratios.   The episode widens from there: debt payoff strategies, designing a modest but deeply rich life on $40–45K a year in Ohio, negotiating everything from internet bills to insurance premiums, and the emotional transformation from paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle to feeling 'directionally correct.' They conclude with the realization that FI isn't just about money, it's about options. Whether you're a late starter, brand new or ten years into the journey; returning to the basics is how you stay grounded, stay motivated, and stay on course.   ====================   DEALS & DISCOUNTS FROM OUR TRUSTED PARTNERS:   MONARCH MONEY The modern way to manage money! Monarch will change the way you organize your financial life.

Episode Description: AJ and Johnny sit down with psychologist Guy Winch, author of Mind Over Grind, to unpack how grind culture quietly erodes our mental health, relationships, and sense of self — often without us realizing it. Guy explains why stress no longer stays at work, how rumination turns unpaid overtime into chronic burnout, and why many high performers confuse exhaustion with productivity. They explore the blurred boundary between work and home, the hidden damage of always-on thinking, and how modern workplaces amplify anxiety, resentment, and emotional withdrawal. This conversation offers practical ways to reclaim control: recognizing harmful rumination, creating transition rituals, recharging instead of just resting, and redesigning workdays to protect focus, relationships, and meaning — without sacrificing ambition.

AJ and Johnny sit down with Daniel Coyle, bestselling author and culture researcher, to explore what it actually means to flourish — and why flourishing is never a solo pursuit. Drawing from his research into thriving communities around the world, Daniel explains why growth, meaning, and fulfillment emerge from connection, friction, and shared purpose rather than individual achievement. They unpack how modern life fragments attention, why efficiency and isolation undermine belonging, and how small, human-scale practices — from rituals to shared meals to “yellow door” moments — can reawaken connection. This conversation reframes success away from optimization and toward aliveness, showing how community, presence, and intentional messiness create lives and workplaces that truly thrive.
