Send us Fan MailIf you keep telling yourself you “just need more motivation,” the real thing holding you back may be much deeper. Shame can quietly shape the way you see yourself, what you believe you deserve, and whether you take action at all. Turning even simple goals, rest, or meaningful pursuits into something that feels nearly impossible.In this episode, we unpack how shame interferes with the cycle of motivation, why motivation often comes after action instead of before it, and how shame-based narratives can keep you stuck in avoidance, guilt, and self-criticism. Emilia and Bianca share real client examples involving rest, career decisions, and pursuing what you actually want, while exploring how self-compassion, identity, support, and a better understanding of your needs can help you create a stronger foundation for meaningful action.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #521 | How to Trust Yourself and Eliminate Self-Doubt

Clint Boon was at the heart of “the two biggest musical revolutions of my lifetime” – as a teenager for Joy Division and Buzzcocks, and later the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and Hacienda and onstage with Inspiral Carpets, a world of characters as big as his own. His memoir ‘The Manchester Chronicles' is about obsessions, schoolteachers, purple winklepickers, mobile discos, good luck, catastrophe and being in the right place at the right time for 30 years. Along with … … why Manchester listens to music so intently: “we're stuck inside while it rains” … auditioning Noel Gallagher “as the Lockerbie plane flew directly overhead” … the new economy: making a Number 2 album funded by t-shirt and cassette sales … growing up on Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Little Richard and Gary Lewis & the Playboys … Inspiral Carpets' obsession with West Coast psychedelia … when the band all got houses with their Mute advance “and I just bought some $800 sunglasses” … great bowl-heads haircuts (Stones, Byrds, Jefferson Airplane) and why he got one too … seeing the Pistols at the Electric Circus: “I left college the next morning” … the sudden split: playing Glastonbury one minute, living on milk tokens and income support the next … his 1975 disco playing Mud, the Rubettes and Showaddywaddy (“I was a 14 year-old Ted”) … and how 24 Hour Party People captured “the spirit, chaos, colour and madness”.

He fell in the mud. No change of clothes. A client starting in five minutes… George turned the car around anyway. Rushed his son into the school bathroom. And in the moment he was about to solve and fix and firefight his way through, his son looked up and said: "I need a hug, dad." That three and a half minute moment is a better story than anything George has planned in months. And that's exactly the point. This is the implementation guide for the Elizabeth Brett storytelling episode. George breaks down her complete Story Alchemy framework: the before, pivot, after, and purpose; plus four story types, two traps that kill storytelling before it starts, and exactly how to build a story bank from what's already happening in your life. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The three traps keeping most entrepreneurs from telling effective stories Elizabeth Brett's four-part story framework: before, pivot, after, purpose What "before state texture" actually means and why skipping it kills the story Why pivotal doesn't mean life-changing and what it actually means The four story types: authority, North Star, origin, and real-time Why scripting your story word for word is one of the biggest mistakes you can make How to build a story bank from what's already happening in your daily life Key Takeaways: ✔️You don't have a content problem. You have a story problem. And the gold mine has been sitting in your commute, your morning, your conversations all along. ✔️The three traps: complacency (storytelling became transactional), performance culture (telling who you had to be, not who you're becoming), and waiting for the big story (the small ones are where most connection actually lives). ✔️The before isn't just what happened, it's the texture. What were you seeing, thinking, feeling? Without it, the pivot has nothing to pivot from. ✔️A pivot is a literal change in direction. It doesn't have to be massive. A five-second conversation with a stranger counts. ✔️The after state: what opened up and what it reveals about who you are, is where "that's me" happens. Skip it and the story becomes an anecdote. ✔️Purpose turns a story into a tool. A story with no purpose is just an event. Know whether you're building authority, connecting, explaining your north star, or enrolling. ✔️Don't script it word for word. Have the frame. Keep the telling loose. The presence is the point. ✔️AI can't write what happened to you this morning. Your story is the only thing left that no one can copy. Timestamps & Highlights: [00:00] — Mud, a missed call, and a hug in a school bathroom, the story that started it all [02:01] — You don't have a content problem. You have a story problem. [04:30] — Three traps that kill storytelling before it starts [08:00] — The four-part framework: before, pivot, after, purpose introduced [09:30] — Part 1: The before state, give us the texture, not just the facts [13:00] — Part 2: The pivot, what it is and what it isn't [16:00] — Part 3: The after state, where "that's me" happens [19:00] — Part 4: Purpose, four story types explained [23:00] — How to match story type to what you need the story to do [25:00] — Trap 1: Don't script it word for word [26:00] — Trap 2: Don't wait for the big story [27:00] — The prison drive home, a real-time story lived out loud [29:00] — How to build a story bank from what's already happening Your Challenge This Week: Before you open your laptop tomorrow, find one moment from today or this week.

OOC is marketed as "playable anime." There's almost no anime in it. It's a wall of text — an AI-powered dungeon master running an interactive story you steer with your own prompts. And it's doing an estimated $100K a day, 74% of it from the US, on pure AI-generated text. Welcome to the weirdest, most future-facing app the crew has covered.We break down OOC by New AI Entertainment (a subsidiary of Korean AI company VRTN) — and use it as a window into the fast-scaling "AI companion" / LLM-driven-content category. We walk the actual experience (a micro-drama-style menu of isekai and anime scenarios, but instead of scripted choices you type free-text prompts, and the LLM improvises the world like a Dungeons & Dragons game master — Jakub compares it directly to 1970s multi-user dungeons, the text-only RPGs that existed before graphics), why the generative freedom is both the magic and the flaw (you can break the story like the genie-with-infinite-wishes paradox, and the AI has to scramble to hold it together), and the token economy (you burn ~90 tokens per response on the good model, run dry in a handful of replies, and get pushed to refill — with 30% off on web). Then the numbers and the category: OOC at ~$100K/day since a June launch with sky-high US IAP conversion, sitting alongside PolyBuzz, Tipsy / Live Your Story (~$500K/day), Status, and others - all LLM-driven content apps that barely existed two years ago. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 "Playable anime" — and why there's no anime03:20 How it actually plays — you write the prompts08:00 It's a 1970s text MUD with an AI dungeon master12:00 The genie problem — breaking the story13:40 The token economy — pay for the good model20:40 The numbers — $100K/day, 74% US, and the category35:00 Why it's not on AppLovin (and the missed playable play)This episode is brought to you by Kinoa — the AI operating system for mobile game operations: flows, live segments, in-app messages, push notifications, and A/B testing in one place, run by the operators who own the numbers.

Send us Fan MailNobody teaches you what to say when someone cuts you down and smiles while doing it. In this episode, we unpack the psychology behind rude people, sarcasm, and microaggressions, why a dysregulated nervous system sits underneath almost all of it, and the four step formula you can actually reach for in the moment.Emilia breaks down where your real training in this area came from: the family, culture, school, and social systems that quietly taught you what is acceptable to say and what you are allowed to say back. Bianca shares why believing everyone is inherently good can leave you defenseless, and opens up about a recent moment where she did not feel safe enough to use the very skills she teaches her own clients. Together they walk through pause, ask, share and set, and returning to your power, plus the identity beliefs that stop most people from ever using the tools at all.

Nepal has a booming hydro-electric power industry with workers toiling away in underground tunnels at multiple sites. Around 900 of these workers are believed to be trapped since the torrent of water, mud and debris tore through the border area of Nepal and Tibet. There's hope that some of them could still be alive and there's a desperate effort to reach them, complicated by mud and damage to roads.

Show Notes The premise sounds like a stunt. Five strangers, one room, six hours, one original song. Meanwhile the show's host sits at a keyboard with a text prompt and half an hour. Grégoire Gensollen, Producer and Chief Operating Officer at Tucker Tooley Entertainment, built that episode of Band of Strangers knowing he could not predict the outcome, which is precisely why he made it. Gensollen comes to this from the traditional side of the business. He grew up in Marseille, trained as an industrial engineer, moved into management consulting, then rerouted through business school at UCLA Anderson into Lionsgate and later FilmNation, where he ran distribution strategy and film finance across a run that included The King's Speech, The Imitation Game, Nebraska, Mud, and Looper. Ten years ago he partnered with Tucker Tooley. What he says he remembers from two decades of that work is not the tooling. It is who was in the room. The origin of Band of Strangers is a documentary called The Unknown Tour, made by two filmmakers who outfitted a bus with a recording studio and drove across the country finding musicians on street corners, in dive bars, and in gospel churches. The pandemic put the idea on hold. When Gensollen and his team picked it up again, they made a decision that would have been unthinkable inside the studio system: skip the networks entirely and release directly on YouTube. Not for reach, but for control of the entire chain, and to protect a show about collaboration from the unscripted television reflex that turns every format into a competition with prize money and manufactured conflict. The constraint that holds it together is the song. Every episode has to produce one, on a clock, or there is no episode. What varies is the entry point. A mariachi band at El Pueblo on Olvera Street laying a first track that hip hop artists in Leimert Park then struggle to find the rhythm inside. Buskers on the Venice boardwalk writing separately. Artists displaced by the Altadena fires building an anthem about rebuilding rather than grieving. Gensollen is candid that the stumbles stay in the cut, because the friction is the story. On AI, he is neither evangelist nor holdout. He describes it as a tool his company will have to use to stay competitive, not against other producers but against creators working alone in their kitchens with the full chain in hand. He also draws a line: optimization, yes. Creative engine, no. His argument is structural rather than sentimental. Prediction models and comparables, the benchmarking method he learned at Lionsgate, tell you where the ceiling is on a category that already exists. A producer's job is to make the thing that does not exist yet. That distinction is the real subject of this conversation. The question is not whether a machine can produce a competent song in thirty minutes. It clearly can. The question is who decides what is worth making, and whether an industry trained on comparables still knows how to recognize the thing it has no comparable for.

Matthew McConaughey walked into Little Rock, and Natalie walked out with enough Hollywood stories to fill a book—and naturally, she put the book down!     On this episode of Put Your Books Down, Natalie Sanderson Jones gives Angela Bingham the inside scoop on seeing McConaughey in person at the Arkansas Cinema Society's Filmland event. They dig into his career, from Dazed and Confused and Mud to A Time to Kill, Interstellar, The Wolf of Wall Street, Dallas Buyers Club, and True Detective. They unpack McConaughey's "launch pad lines," his one-take performances, his approach to rom-com characters, and the creative process behind some of his most memorable scenes. They also debate his Oscar-era career transformation, his friendship with filmmaker Jeff Nichols, Greenlights, and Natalie's favorite McConaughey movie, Killer Joe.     Plus, they discuss what it felt like to see a major Hollywood star bring his stories and creative process to Little Rock. Expect plenty of movie nostalgia, celebrity culture, laughs, and the kind of pop culture deep dive that makes Put Your Books Down so much fun.    

Send us Fan MailChasing happiness is the fastest way to miss your life. In this episode, we unpack why so many of us keep entering new jobs, new relationships, and new purchases expecting them to finally fix us, and why that pattern quietly repeats for years without ever getting named. Bianca opens with a client conversation that required real candor, and Emilia takes it back to first principles: what happiness actually is by definition, why we have been sold the idea that it is the best thing to feel, and what it costs us to treat a passing emotion as a permanent state.We get into the if-then narratives running underneath our decisions, the arrival fallacy, and the law of trade-offs. Emilia shares openly about a recent six-figure purchase and the values-based decision making behind it, and Bianca names the baseline sadness she has stopped apologizing for and started building her work on. The takeaway is not that you will never be happy. It is that grit, distress tolerance, and fulfillment are what actually build a life worth living, and happiness shows up as a byproduct along the way.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #428 | How to Create a Joy-Filled Life by Design, Not by Default - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000722917711Learn more about:

Sermon Outline: "Redeemed with a Purpose, Released with a Mission" Preacher: Pastor Rhonda Davis I. From Saved to Sent The Foundation: Recapping last week's message, believers must stand firm on the reality that they are chosen, accepted, redeemed, and adopted. Beyond the Waiting Room: The church was never designed to be a waiting room where saved people sit around until heaven comes; it is a sending station where redeemed people are equipped and released into a broken world. Inserting Your Name into the Great Commission: Drawing from John 1:7, Pastor Rhonda emphasized that every believer's name belongs in the blank: "There was a man/woman sent by God, and his/her name was [Your Name]." II. The "Anywhere But Here" Principle Overcoming Resistance: When called to serve, our natural reaction is often to ask God to send us "anywhere but here." The Founding of Church of the Harvest: Pastor Rhonda shared her personal story of resisting starting a church in Cleveland, TN, hoping for opportunities in Phoenix or Yakima instead. While kneeling in the dirt on Atkinson Drive, God gave her a vision of Jesus reaching into the four corners of the earth to pull in the hurting and asked her: "Why are you resisting Me?" Highest Calling: What begins as an "anywhere but here" moment often becomes the very place where God's presence is most powerfully revealed. III. Carrying the Message of Redemption My House Is Full, But My Field Is Empty: Pastor Rhonda shared a memory of her mother singing a classic song about God's heart weeping because His children gather around the table while the harvest fields lay ripe and ungathered. The Ministry of Reconciliation: According to 2 Corinthians 5:18, God has trusted believers with the message of redemption. We do not carry condemnation into the world; we carry forgiveness, grace, and hope. Shifting from Blame to Opportunity (John 9): In the story of the man born blind, the disciples wanted to debate who was to blame ("Who sinned, this man or his parents?"). Jesus rejected the blame game and focused on the opportunity to demonstrate God's works. Religion shames people for having dirty feet; Jesus kneels down to wash them. IV. Using Base Materials for Miracles Spit and Mud into Miracles: Jesus took dirt and spit—the lowest material—to heal the blind man and sent him to the Pool of Siloam (which means "Sent"). God Doesn't Need Better Material: Believers often wish they were smarter, more talented, or more gifted. However, God takes basic "dirt" (2 Corinthians 4:7) and fills it with His Holy Spirit so that the glory belongs entirely to Him. The History of Queen for a Day & The Esther Project: Starting small and using what was available led to growing out of facilities on Atkinson Drive by 2012. In 2014, while Queen for a Day was on hold, God birthed The Esther Project at Women of Hope, where hundreds of women were crowned and reminded that their names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. In 2015, following a prophetic dream involving an emblem of the Lion and the Lamb, Queen for a Day was moved to Omega Center International (OCI), expanding its reach to hundreds of women annually. V. Carrying an Atmosphere & Transforming Pain Atmosphere Changers: Fear, division, and hopelessness carry dark atmospheres, but the presence of God inside a believer carries a light that shifts any room. You do not have to absorb the atmosphere of a room; you are sent to transform it. Created for Good Works (Ephesians 2:10): Purpose is pre-ordained by God. There are people only your specific story and personality can reach. Pain as Your Pulpit: Your greatest trials, struggles, and wilderness seasons become the very platform through which you minister compassion and hope to others. Nothing is wasted in God's economy (Romans 8:28). VI. The Unstoppable Cry of Purpose The Supernatural Realm: Purpose cries out before the throne of God long before a physical outcome is seen. Moses: When placed in a basket on the Nile, the cry of his purpose ensured he survived to lead millions out of Egypt. Mary Magdalene: Her purpose delivered her from seven demons to become the first witness to announce the Resurrection. Peter: After denying Christ, the cry of his purpose sustained him to preach the sermon at Pentecost where thousands were saved. Jesus in Gethsemane: Facing the cross, the eternal purpose of redemption carried Him through to secure salvation for all humanity. Scripture Index John 20:21 > "Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you." Romans 10:14-15 > "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace..." John 1:6-7 > "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe." Matthew 9:37-38 > "Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." 2 Corinthians 5:18 > "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation..." John 9:3-5, 7 > "Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work... And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.)" 2 Corinthians 4:7 > "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." Ephesians 2:10 > "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."   Romans 8:28 > "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."   Exodus 2:2-3 (Referenced) – The birth of Moses and his placement in the basket on the Nile River. Luke 8:2 / John 20:18 (Referenced) – Mary Magdalene delivered from seven demons and witnessing the risen Lord. Acts 2:14-17 (Referenced) – Peter standing at Pentecost declaring the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy. "Thanks for listening! For more information, visit churchoftheharvest.com.

In Episode 108 of the Land to Lots™ Podcast, Carter Froelich continues his conversation with Charley Freericks, President of the Arizona Region of Howard Hughes Communities, about Teravalis, the 37,000-plus acre master plan community in Buckeye, Arizona.  Charley discusses how Howard Hughes' entry into Buckeye avoided organized opposition, crediting his reputation from Verrado, his relationships with city leadership, and a close working cadence with city staff as Teravalis moves through its zoning and development agreement process.  Carter and Charley then discuss Arizona's water supply and policy, including Teravalis's secured groundwater and the state's long-term water solutions, infrastructure financing through Community Facilities Districts and how that compares to Texas-style municipal utility districts, pending Arizona legislation aimed at modernizing those financing tools, school funding challenges in the West Valley, and the builder segmentation and amenity strategy that set Teravalis apart, including the removal of a legacy lake in favor of a planned 22,000-square-foot amenity complex.  In this episode, you'll learn:  Why Howard Hughes Communities has faced no organized opposition moving into Buckeye, and how Charley's reputation from Verrado and his relationships with city leadership and staff have shaped a close working cadence with the city.  How Teravalis's water supply is secured, including the 100-year guaranteed supply for Floreo, the South Hassayampa Valley groundwater basin, and Charley's take on Arizona's groundwater moratorium and long-term water policy.  How Howard Hughes Communities is financing infrastructure at Teravalis through Community Facilities Districts (CFDs), and the reimbursement lag CFDs create compared to Texas-style municipal utility districts, plus pending Arizona legislation aimed at closing that gap.  Why school funding and education bonds, including the recent failed Saddle Mountain Unified School District bond elections, are a growing concern for master plan communities in the West Valley.  How Teravalis is differentiating itself through builder segmentation across a broad price spectrum, from the low $300,000s to the $700,000-$800,000 range, with seven builders on board and an eighth in the works.  Why Howard Hughes removed a grandfathered lake amenity over water conservation concerns and replaced it with a planned 22,000-square-foot amenity complex.  Charley's closing perspective on Arizona's water future, Teravalis's early-stage momentum, and his outlook for the community's long-term growth.    Show Notes Charley Freericks Contact Information - W - https://www.teravalis.com/ O - [602-834-9100] E - [Charley.Freericks@HowardHughes.com]   Plus: Whenever you're ready here are 4 ways Launch can help you with your project:  Prepare a Texas MUD Forward Funding Launch Bond Analysis® for your Project – If you have a project in Texas with a MUD, MMD or similar district contact Carter Froelich (ADD MY EMAIL LINK) and have Launch prepare an initial complimentary Launch Bond analysis for your project.  Prepare a Special Tax District Bond Analysis for your Project – If you have a project in AZ, CA, CO, ID, NC, NM, SC, TX, UT, WA contact Carter Froelich (ADD MY EMAIL LINK) and have Launch prepare an initial complimentary high-level bond analysis for your project.  Perform The RED Analysis™ on your Project – We have developed a unique process at Launch called The RED Analysis™ in which we perform a diagnostic review of your project to determine possible ways to Reduce, Eliminate and Defer infrastructure construction costs in order to enhance project returns.

What do you do when your prayers are met with deafening silence, and your circumstances directly contradict everything you believe about God?It is easy to trust God when the answers are flowing. But when you are stuck in the agonizing "in-between"—waiting for a healing, a restored relationship, or a delayed promise—uncertainty chips away at your peace. Before long, the quiet, toxic lies creep in: “Has God forgotten me? Am I doing something wrong? Is He punishing me?”In this grounding episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach sits down with author and ministry leader Jen Allee (When Waiting Feels Like Withholding: Trusting God When You Doubt His Goodness) to pull back the curtain on the silent seasons of faith. Moving past neat spiritual clichés, Kristen and Jen dive into the raw, sacred work of trading performance shame for steady, unshakable trust in the heart of the Father.In this episode, you will discover: The Frozen Tree & The Racing Clouds: The powerful visual shift that proves God is moving at full speed behind the scenes, even when your immediate life feels completely on pause. Dismantling the Punishment Lie: Why the cross permanently settled all divine punishment, and how to stop self-blaming when an answer is delayed. Healing vs. Resurrection (The Lazarus Shift): Why Mary and Martha wanted an immediate healing, but Jesus had planned a greater resurrection—and how to recognize what He is raising in your life today. The Mud, the Mire, and Psalm 40: Practical steps to meditate on scripture until your heart naturally moves from "Can You do this?" to "Thank You that You will." The Book of Remembrance: How logging unexpected provisions and simple everyday blessings builds an undeniable testimony of God's relentless faithfulness. Music Video: The Clouds are Racing, original worship music by Kristen Wambach If you are feeling pinned against the wall by a dream that hasn't materialized, this conversation will equip you to take a Spiritually BRAVE step forward and declare with confidence: It is well with my soul.

Send us Fan MailYou are not thinking nearly as much as you think you are. In this episode, we unpack how inaccurate thinking quietly sabotages love, success, and money, and why so many of our "decisions" are really impulses absorbed from the people around us. Emilia and Bianca get into metacognition, cognitive appraisal, and the uncomfortable reality that most of us are running on autopilot while telling ourselves a story about how deliberate we are.Bianca shares a client story that shows how an unexamined childhood pattern was still dictating his sleep two decades later, and Emilia walks through her denial framework, FREE for the four types of denial and HEAL for the antidote, because whatever you are denying you actively cannot improve. The conversation lands on humility as the greatest antidote to ignorance, and on the willingness to say "I don't know" as the entry point to better thinking.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #480 | Everything You Need For Real Self Belief, Part Two - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000750453998Learn more about:

Bianca opens with a client who cannot let himself heal because getting better feels like letting the people who harmed him off the hook. We get into the bulldozer and the house, why an apology can never rebuild what was demolished, and the difference between reconciliation and repair. Emilia breaks down the unconscious expectations we carry into rupture, why naming the impact feels like admitting the harm was okay, and how the nervous system is really reaching for safety, not words. We land on the hard truth: an apology is a nice to have, not a need to have, and your pain was already real without their acknowledgment.The how to apologize guide mentioned in this episode, from Emilia and Alan on The Conscious Couples podcast:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KVsyimNpa2-XBOlWBY52mzp3VsD0ZQLP/view?usp=sharingHere's a related episode that builds on today's conversation:#521 | How to Trust Yourself and Eliminate Self-Doubt - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000776557116Learn more about:

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with singer, songwriter, harmonica player, and bandleader Christopher Wyze for a conversation about creativity, discipline, mentorship, and discovering an entirely new musical life later in adulthood.Christopher spent decades working as a professional writer and advertising executive before writing his first song in 2022. We talk about how those years of meeting deadlines, telling stories, and finding the clearest possible language prepared him for songwriting. He shares how producer and mentor Ralph Carter encouraged him to take his writing seriously, ultimately leading to the album Stuck in the Mud, recorded in Muscle Shoals with an exceptional group of musicians.We also explore the joy and vulnerability of entering the studio with world-class players, including members of the Hi Rhythm Section, and hearing a simple lyric or demo become a fully realized piece of music. Christopher talks about collaboration, learning to trust the room, and the responsibility he feels to keep writing and recording while the songs are arriving.A major part of our conversation centers on Naptown Blues, Christopher Wyze and the Tellers' tribute to Indianapolis blues musicians Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell. We discuss their influence on artists such as Robert Johnson, the overlooked history of blues recording in Indiana, and why Christopher feels called to help preserve and share that legacy.Ultimately, this is a conversation about believing someone when they see something in you, finding purpose after a difficult professional chapter, and reaching a point in life where fear no longer gets to make the decisions.Key TakeawaysChristopher wrote his first song in 2022 after decades of professional writing in newspapers, magazines, books, and advertising.Producer and former Eddie Money collaborator Ralph Carter became a mentor who encouraged Christopher to write original music and helped shape his songs in the studio.His debut album, Stuck in the Mud, was recorded in Muscle Shoals with musicians including guitarist Eric Deaton.Christopher approaches songwriting much like advertising: identify the central idea, use as few words as possible, and allow music and imagery to carry part of the story.Playing with musicians such as the Hi Rhythm Section has taught him to trust the moment and elevate his own performance.Naptown Blues honors Indianapolis blues pioneers Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell, whose music helped influence Robert Johnson and “Sweet Home Chicago.”Christopher believes his most important work now is writing and recording songs, even when that means performing less often.His return to music has given him a sense of joy, purpose, and fearlessness that he did not have earlier in life.Music from the EpisodeI'm Going Back to Tennessee - Christopher WyzeAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a long-form interview podcast hosted by Brad Williams featuring thoughtful conversations with musicians, songwriters, producers, and artists about creativity, craft, collaboration, and the experiences that shape their work.

Send us Fan MailNobody hands boys a blueprint for fatherhood. In this episode, we unpack why the father role is one of the most under examined forces in psychology, and how it quietly sets a child's self-worth, nervous system and sense of what is safe to allow into their life. We look at the patriarchal scripts fathers inherited and passed down, the myth that dad exists to balance out mom's emotion, and why so many men arrive in their thirties having never once pictured themselves as a parent.This is not a man bashing session. It is a call to the dads, the future dads, the uncles and the men who never had a father figure of their own. We break down the words that actually define the role: encouragement, play, leadership, attunement, reliability and safety. We share stories from the therapy room about direct and indirect harm, the gymnastics dad who got it right, and one gamified daily practice that costs nothing and changes the trajectory of a family.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #459 | What Your Family System Role Says About You - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000740185898Bianca mentions this episode early in the conversation:#507 | Breaking Down Patriarchy, Matriarchy, And Our Role Within It - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000769445396Learn more about:

Send us Fan MailYou can show up every single day for ten years and still be lying to yourself about being disciplined. In this episode, we unpack the story most of us have quietly built into our identity: that consistency in one arena means we have the muscle everywhere. Emilia walks through a conversation with a business owner who had opened his doors seven days a week for a decade and could not get himself to the gym once in three months, and what happened when the difference between self-discipline and survival got named out loud.Bianca recorded this one after calling out sick, which turned into the clearest example we could have asked for. We get into non-negotiables and why you have to choose your arenas before you can expand them, the ping-pong between "I am not disciplined at all" and "I am completely disciplined," the shift from being held accountable by the people around you to doing it when nobody would ever know, and the neuroscience underneath it all. Plus the reframe that changes the whole thing: discipline is not suffering, it is being the butler to your future self.

"Baltā cielava ir Latvijas cilvēkiem ļoti tuvs putns, gan fiziski, gan garīgi. Baltā cielava uzturas cilvēku tuvumā, apdzīvo viensētas, pilsētas, arī jūras krastu. Bet katrā ziņā bieži vien mēs redzam balto cielavu savā tuvumā," stāsta Latvijas Ornitoloģijas biedrības priekšsēdētājs Viesturs Ķerus.  "Mudīga un čakla. Latvijas nacionālais putns. Cielava ir tāda, kādi mēs gribētu būt, vismaz atbilstoši mūsu priekšstatiem par cielavu," atzīst Viesturs Ķerus. "Baltā cielava nav no tiem putniem, kuru mēs drīzāk dzirdētu nekā redzētu. Mežā mēs "vērojam putnus ar ausīm", bet baltā cielava nekur ļoti neslēpjas. Vienīgais viņa slēpjas tad, kad ir jāperē mazuļi, turpina Viesturs Ķerus. "Baltās cielavas mātītes tad ielien labi paslēptā ligzdā, kas varbūt kādā zaru kaudzē, malkas grēdā, akmeņu čupā. Reizēm ir gadījumi, kad šī vieta ir arī novārtā atstāta traktora motors." Ja tā gadās, šo traktoru vajadzētu vēl uz kādu mēnesi atstāt novārtā, lai cielava var mierīgi izaudzināt savus bērnus.  Lai arī oficiālais nosaukums ir baltā cielava, reizēm cilvēki viņu sauc par pelēko cielavu, jo pelēkuma viņā arī netrūkst. Melnbalts putns - melns, balts, pelēks. Ornitologi par pelēko cielavu sauc citu cielava sugu, kas ir stipri reti sastopama un dzīvo pie upēm.

In this episode, Carter talks with Chris Meany, founding member of Wilson Meany, about the vision, planning, and complexity behind Treasure Island, one of the most ambitious urban infill redevelopment projects in California.  Chris shares his path into real estate development, including what first drew him to building "real things," and reflects on Wilson Meany's work on some of California's most iconic projects, including the San Francisco Ferry Building. From there, Carter and Chris begin unpacking the story of Treasure Island, the former naval station in San Francisco Bay that is being transformed into a major mixed-use, mixed-income community.   In this episode, you'll learn:  How Chris Meany got started in real estate development and placemaking. The story behind Wilson Meany's role in the San Francisco Ferry Building.    How Treasure Island evolved from a former naval base into a generational redevelopment opportunity.  Why San Francisco viewed Treasure Island as a chance to create a new residential district without the same neighborhood opposition seen in other parts of the city.  How the master planning team approached density, open space, affordability, transportation, and environmental goals.  Why the ferry connection to downtown San Francisco became central to the project's planning strategy.  How CEQA and entitlement challenges continue to impact large-scale housing and development in California.    Show Notes Chris Meany Contact Information –  O – 415 905 5300 E –      Plus: Whenever you're ready here are 4 ways Launch can help you with your project: (NOTE – PICK 4)  Prepare a Texas MUD Forward Funding Launch Bond Analysis® for your Project – If you have a project in Texas with a MUD, MMD or similar district contact  Carter Froelich (ADD MY EMAIL LINK) and have Launch prepare an initial complimentary  Launch Bond analysis for your project.     Prepare a Special Tax District Bond Analysis for your Project – If you have a projects in AZ, CA, CO, ID, NC, NM, SC, TX, UT, WA contact  Carter Froelich (ADD MY EMAIL LINK) and have Launch prepare an initial complimentary high-level bond analysis for your project.

Pastor Robert Tisdale continues his “Mud” series from John 9, emphasizing that before the blind man could testify “I was blind, now I see,” he had to walk through the city with mud on his face—showing that miracles often begin messy, embarrassing, and hard to explain. He teaches not to confuse God's method with identity, not to judge the miracle mid-process, and to obey instructions before receiving explanations, because healing is hidden in movement. Tisdale connects the Pool of Siloam (“sent”) and its Feast of Tabernacles symbolism of dependence on God's provision, highlighting that obedience led to cleansing and sight. He warns against shame, rejection, and religious interrogation, noting the man's growing revelation under pressure, his parents' fear of expulsion, and Jesus finding him after he was cast out, culminating in worship and calling Jesus Lord.00:00 Welcome and Resources01:32 Why God Uses Mud06:32 Method Not Identity09:26 Instructions Before Explanations12:04 Touch Versus Obedience14:38 Walk It Out Muddy16:32 Shame Patterns Rewired19:37 Sent Before Ready22:48 Siloam and Living Water26:21 Obedience Brings Sight26:51 Neighbors React to Change28:15 Same Face New Eyes29:31 Breaking Old Labels30:42 Radical Inner Makeover35:32 Free Yet Thinking Bound36:56 Interrogated Breakthroughs40:18 Religion Versus Mercy42:51 Revelation Under Pressure44:41 Fear Of Rejection48:41 Choose Testimony Over Rooms52:58 Cast Out Found By Jesus55:56 Sight Becomes Worship57:00 Wash Off The Mud

Mud puddles, imagination, movement, messes… and why it all matters.Have you ever watched your child jump into a mud puddle, build an elaborate imaginary world, climb higher than you expected, or spend hours creating games out of things that weren't even toys?If so, you've witnessed something powerful.Because what looks like "just play" is actually some of the most important work of childhood.In a world filled with packed schedules, screens, structured activities, and pressure to constantly achieve, it can be easy to forget something simple:Kids need space to be kids.In this episode of the Raising Eyebrows Miniseries, Celia Kibler and Dr. Kailey Buller explore why play, imagination, movement, exploration, and even a little messiness are essential parts of healthy child development.Because play isn't a distraction from learning.It's learning.It's how children develop creativity, confidence, resilience, problem-solving skills, and trust in their own abilities.In this thoughtful and encouraging conversation, Celia and Dr.Kailey unpack why modern parenting culture often makes us feel like we need to supervise, structure, and optimize every moment and why giving children more opportunities for unstructured play may actually be one of the greatest gifts we can offer them.In this episode, you'll hear:Why play is one of the most important tools for healthy childhood developmentHow imagination, creativity, and pretend play help children make sense of the worldWhy movement, exploration, and hands-on experiences are critical for learningWhat "risky play" really means—and why it isn't the same as unsafe playHow children build confidence by testing limits and solving problems on their ownWhy boredom can actually spark creativity and independenceThe difference between protecting children and overprotecting themSimple ways to create more opportunities for free play in everyday lifeOne of the most powerful reminders in this episode:Children don't need every moment planned, managed, or optimized. They need room to explore, imagine, create, and discover who they are.That doesn't mean ignoring safety.It doesn't mean letting chaos take over.And it definitely doesn't mean stepping away from your role as a parent.It means trusting that childhood itself has value.Because mud puddles teach lessons.Imagination builds skills.Movement strengthens minds and bodies.And sometimes the moments that look the least productive are the ones helping our children grow the most.If you've ever worried about giving your child enough freedom, struggled to balance safety with independence, or wondered whether unstructured play really matters, this episode offers practical insights and reassuring reminders that can help you approach parenting with greater confidence.Tune in to this episode of Raising Eyebrows your weekly dose of sanity in a world full of parenting noise.We're so glad you're here.To stay connected with Celia Kibler, follow @beabetterparentdotcom and explore more support through the Be A Better Parent Skool community at skool.com/beabetterparent.You can also connect with Dr. Kailey Buller at @vitalswithdrbuller for thoughtful, evidence-based support around motherhood, family health, and raising children with confidence.And if you want parenting support right when real life is happening, be sure to download the Be A Better Parent app. It offers on-demand guidance, practical tools, and real-time support to help you respond with more calm, clarity, and confidence right when you need it most.

Pastor Robert Tisdale preaches at Tampa Life Church from John 9, launching deeper into his “MUD” series and contrasting how Jesus and the disciples viewed a man blind from birth: others saw a problem and looked for blame, but Jesus saw potential and God's glory. He warns that diagnoses and labels can help explain pain but become dangerous when they define identity, limit imagination, and turn into a destination; he urges the church to seek deliverance as intensely as diagnosis. He cites Hebrews 11:6 on faith and references the nocebo effect to show how labels shape outcomes, calls people to renounce negative self-talk and self-blame, prays for healing and freedom, and points to Jesus' command after making mud—go wash—even when the touch feels incomplete and confusing.00:00 Welcome and Baptisms00:19 Series Recap MUD02:11 John 9 Setup03:29 Labels vs Deliverance08:04 Faith to Be Whole08:59 Testimonies and Response12:23 Prayer and Breakthrough15:42 Hebrews 11 Explained18:21 Nocebo and Identity21:02 Renounce the Labels25:18 Stop Self Blame Loops31:30 Go Wash and Obey

Logan Jones-Wilkins is back from the mud in Kansas to break down a wild 26-mph crash, the dominant Specialized Crux 5 debut, and why gravel racing might never be the same. As we mentioned last week, Logan was in Emporia, Kansas covering Unbound 2026. Now he's back in the studio and Mike Levy and I get to talk about what he saw. Part of that is the new Specialized Crux, but before we get there, we start with a discussion of how Logan did in his own Unbound 100 race. It wasn't exactly a quiet day out. Logan details a wild situation that unfolded right in front of him, going from 26 mph to on the ground in an instant. Despite the crash, he still managed a 5-hour and 50-minute finish on the new Crux 5, and he finally shares the real details on what the bike is like to ride. From there, we get into the rest of the racing in Kansas, and that means the mud. This year, the Flint Hills delivered thick, sticky mud that forced massive sections of walking and led multiple pros to pee on their drivetrains just to keep moving. We also tackle the arrival of true team tactics. Specialized exerted absolute control over the front of the pack in the Men's 200, prompting the question: is this the natural evolution of the sport, or does it completely change the fabric of gravel racing? The Women's 200 was a slow build with constant anticipation, blowing up early and culminating with riders Sophia Gomez Villafañe and Geerike Schreurs texting mid-race to orchestrate attacks for the final sprint. Finally, we look at the giant prototype Scott 32-inch wheeled bikes that made their debut. What does that mean for the technology, and will you see it roll out on production models soon?

This year's Unbound was humbling. Mud, thunder storms, and mechanicals galore plagued the racers and culled the pro field. To recap the carnage, Payson is joined by Danni Shrosbree, who battled multiple crises to grab a top 10 and secure a wildcard position in the Grand Prix. They discuss their top 5 “What the f*ck” moments from the race, their 5 silver linings, and the 5 most painful parts of their bodies when they crossed the finish line. Plus, we hear from listeners who participated in the race, and Payson gives an overview of the Grand Prix points standings.  Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveenEmail: howdy@withpace.cc

This week, J.John is joined by Stuart Bell, whose ministry spans more than 50 years, beginning as the son of a Methodist local preacher and playing in a Christian band, The Advocates. What started with discipling young people grew into Alive Church, now across six locations, and the Ground Level Network, connecting around 80 churches with a vision to reach communities “from the Humber to the Wash.” In this conversation, Stuart reflects on what it means to “reinvent church” today, while also sharing from personal experience, including his book Mud in the Eye and the challenges of leading through difficult seasons and questions around healing.

Pastor Robert Tisdale preaches a message titled “Mud” from John 9:6, focusing on how Jesus healed a man blind from birth by making mud and putting it on his eyes before sending him to wash in the pool of Siloam. He emphasizes that before restoration is visible, people may look messier, feel heavier, and face embarrassment while the miracle is still in process, but faith keeps moving toward obedience. He warns against people who analyze pain, assign blame, and turn suffering into debate, noting Jesus refused the disciples' blame question and instead pointed to God's works being manifested. He teaches that God does creative miracles with “dirt,” reframes pain into purpose, and calls the church to pray and believe for spiritual, physical, mental, and natural miracles.00:00 Prayer and Setup00:44 Mud Miracle Theme03:14 Creator Meets Creation04:18 Born Blind and Labeled05:54 Blame Game Warning11:54 From Explanation to Glory16:36 God Works in Dirt19:16 Messy Miracle Process24:04 Life Mud vs Jesus Mud26:55 Obedience to Siloam30:30 Altar Call and Prayer

What does ancient wisdom actually look like in everyday life? In this episode, we sit with Verse 15 of the Tao Te Ching to explore why the modern obsession with constant action and "mountain-top" achievements might be keeping us stuck. Through Lao Tzu's imagery of crossing thin ice, becoming like a valley, and letting muddy water settle, we learn that sometimes the most powerful action we can take is to step back, put the glass down, and let clarity happen on its own.Grab a warm drink, take a deep breath, and let's slow down for a few minutes.**** Intro: The mistake of "stirring the pot" when we need answers.**** The Verse: A slow reading of Verse 15.**** The Ice: Why walking on thin ice demands an absolute honesty that can't be faked.**** The Valley: Shifting away from a culture that worships the mountain, and finding the quiet power of receptivity.**** Mud & Water: Why a glass of muddy water doesn't need to be fixed—it just needs to be set down.**** Releasing the Grip: Living in the present instead of waiting for life to "finally arrive."The ancient Masters were profound and subtle.Their wisdom was unfathomable.There is no way to describe it; all we can describe is their appearance. They were careful as someone crossing an iced-over stream.Alert as a warrior in enemy territory.Courteous as a guest.Fluid as melting ice.Shapable as a block of wood.Receptive as a valley.Clear as a glass of water.Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear?Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself?The Master doesn't seek fulfillment.Not seeking, not expecting, she is present, and can welcome all things.Where in your life right now are you desperately stirring the water? What would happen if you just set the glass down and let gravity do its work?If you enjoyed this episode, please consider subscribing, leaving a review, or sharing it with someone who needs a few quiet minutes today.In This Episode, We Discuss:The Verse: Verse Fifteen (The Ancient Masters)A Question to Carry With You This Week:
