Podcasts about Myth

In this episode of Makers & Mystics, Stephen Roach sits down with cultural critic, writer, and iconographer Jonathan Pageau to explore the state of contemporary storytelling and the enduring power of myth.Pageau, creator of The Symbolic World, explains how symbols operate beneath conscious awareness to shape imagination and culture. Together, they discuss why traditional narratives appear depleted, how propaganda differs from true myth, and why fairy tales continue to communicate truths modern culture struggles to articulate.The conversation turns toward artists and storytellers, what it means to create work rooted in beauty, transcendence, and enduring symbolic patterns rather than novelty or cynicism. The conversation also connects with the theme of The Breath and the Clay 2026 —what it means to make space: space in our art, in our imagination, and in our lives for transcendent meaning to take root.Jonathan Pageau will be our keynote presenter for this year's event in Winston-Salem, NC, March 20-22. http://www.thebreathandtheclay.com Send a textJoin Malcolm Guite, Jonathan Pageau, Stephen Roach, and so many others!http://www.thebreathandtheclay.comUse the code "mystic26" for a special podcast listener rate!Support the show Get Tickets to The Breath and The Clay 2026 featuring Malcolm Guite, Jon Guerra, and Jonathan Pageau!

The Myth of Time Healing: Contrary to popular belief, time alone does not heal betrayal wounds. Assessment responses reveal people still struggling 15, 35, even 40+ years after their betrayal, with statements like "feels like it happened yesterday" and "I'll never trust again."  The Critical Difference: Betrayal recovery requires deliberate, intentional healing—you can't count on time or a new relationship to fix it.  The Problem with Traditional Approaches  Wrong Tools at the Wrong Stage: Even excellent therapeutic tools can backfire when applied at the inappropriate stage of recovery:  Stage 2 (Shock & Trauma): Clients need nervous system regulation, not gratitude exercises or trust-building  Stage 4 (Rebuilding): Clients may not need the same interventions that worked in earlier stages  Why Coaches Struggle: Practitioners often dread seeing betrayal clients because their proven methods aren't working—but it's not the tools, it's the timing. Someone who's been betrayed isn't starting at the same place as other clients.  The Waitlist Initiative  A new waitlist has been created to connect people struggling with betrayal to properly certified coaches and practitioners. The response has been overwhelming, with heartbreaking stories of:  PTSD symptoms 30 years post-betrayal  Closed-off relationships due to family betrayals from decades ago  Lives that "haven't been the same since"  Understanding the Stages  Stage 2: Shock and trauma—nervous system completely dysregulated  Stage 3: Survival mode—functional but flat, no joy. This is where most people get stuck because:  It feels better than the chaos of Stage 2  It's the "familiar known"  Fear of the shakeup change would create  Intentionally ignoring intuition due to lack of bandwidth  The Stage 2-3 Loop: Many people bounce between shock/trauma and survival, like being thrown down a ravine, climbing up, then being thrown down again.  Stage 4 & 5: Hopeful, growth-oriented, forward-moving—but most people don't even know these stages exist.  Why People Stay Stuck  Lack of awareness: They don't know Stage 4 and 5 exist  Familiar vs. good: We choose the familiar known over the unfamiliar unknown, even when it's not serving us  Fear of disruption: New boundaries and standing up for yourself creates a shakeup  Bandwidth concerns: Mental, emotional, physical, or financial limitations  Comparison trap: Stage 3 seems "good enough" compared to Stage 2  The Cost of Staying Stuck  Post Betrayal Syndrome symptoms persist when you ignore your intuition and stay in Stage 3:  Physical illnesses and conditions  Mental and emotional symptoms  Your body communicates through its weakest link  Over 100,000 people tested show consistent symptom patterns  The Reframe  The Weight Loss Analogy: Two friends, both 30 pounds overweight and "fine." One loses the weight and transforms—feels amazing, confident, energized. The other declines help, saying "I'm okay."  The Truth: If you knew for even a minute what Stage 5 felt like, you wouldn't waste another minute in Stage 3.  The Path Forward  Healing requires moving through all five stages with the right support and tools applied at the right time. The goal of the PBT Institute certification program is to get the Five Stages framework into as many qualified hands as possible—because it's not about one person, it's about every certified practitioner reaching everyone in their sphere.  Most Common Betrayal Types  From the waitlist responses:  Family betrayal  Partner betrayal  Note: Early, unhealed betrayals (often in childhood or early relationships) frequently underlie later betrayal experiences—it's often not where you think it started.  Bottom Line: Just because something is familiar doesn't mean it's good. There's something so much better waiting in Stages 4 and 5—but you have to move through the process deliberately and intentionally to get there.  Resources: Join the waitlist: https://thepbtinstitute.com/waitlist/  Grab the book and bonuses: https://thepbtinstitute.com/unstuck/  

Tired of pool rules that don't add up? We peel back the layers on the industry's most persistent myths and replace them with chemistry you can trust. From the “acid column” idea to the belief that liquid chlorine always drives pH sky high, we show where the logic sounds right and why the science says otherwise. You'll learn how acid truly mixes on contact, why slugging can scar plaster and vinyl, and how to dose safely using circulation to your advantage.We also tackle the big one: “chlorine lock.” Chlorine isn't trapped; it's either free, combined, or used. The real driver of effectiveness is the free chlorine to cyanuric acid ratio. Using the 7.5% guideline, you can set targets that outpace algae, save on unnecessary algaecides and shock, and keep water clearer with fewer surprises. We talk testing too—why relying on old OTO “flash” habits keeps you in the dark, and how FAS-DPD reveals what's actually happening so you can correct fast.Finally, we clear up confusion around safe swim timing. That 24-hour wait after adding chlorine? Not a rule of nature. It's about how much you dosed, how well the water circulates, and where your CYA sits. Light dosing with proper CYA can be safe much sooner, while heavy shock may warrant patience. With muriatic acid, circulation and pH verification matter more than the smell—often making a 30–60 minute window reasonable for re-entry in large, balanced pools. Walk away with practical steps that protect surfaces, stabilize pH, and restore confidence in every service visit.• acid column method risks surface damage and does not target alkalinity• liquid chlorine raises pH briefly, then neutralizes as it oxidizes• cal hypo truly raises pH, liquid chlorine trends near neutral net effect• chlorine states: free, combined, and used chloride• no such thing as chlorine lock, just high CYA slowing chlorine• maintain free chlorine at ~7.5% of CYA for effectiveness• accurate testing beats OTO flash tests for FC and CC• safe swim timing depends on FC-to-CYA and circulation, not 24-hour rules•Send a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

We've all been told to just be yourself. But psychologist and author Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic—Chief Innovation Officer at ManpowerGroup and professor at UCL and Columbia—says that's the worst advice you can take. In his new book, Don't Be Yourself: Why Authenticity Is Overrated (and What to Do Instead), he reveals why our obsession with authenticity is holding us back—and what actually leads to success. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why "just being yourself" is often the worst professional advice you can receive The coffee drinker model for balancing your raw personality with social expectations How to use emotional intelligence as a strategic filter for better leadership Why high-performing leaders often act more like method actors than authentic versions of themselves How to navigate the tension between human authenticity and AI-generated content Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (01:21) The Myth of Objective Authenticity (02:50) Leaders as Method Actors (04:01) Comparing Personal and Restaurant Brands (05:53) The Rigidity of "Telling It Like It Is" (07:06) Understanding Authenticity Traps (10:11) Emotional Intelligence vs. Authenticity (13:22) The Coffee Drinker Model Explained (15:35) Adaptability in the Workplace (18:14) Cultural Differences in Authenticity (22:27) Authenticity in the Age of AI (26:43) Why Benetton Made Him Smile About Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic is the Chief Innovation Officer at ManpowerGroup, a professor of business psychology at University College London and at Columbia University, a cofounder of Deeper Signals, and an associate at Harvard's Entrepreneurial Finance Lab.

On this week's episode of Three Ravens we're headed to a Welsh county with two separate sections - historic Flintshire!The county where Edward I began his conquest of Wales, the prehistory of Flintshire is just as interesting as what's happened more recently. And more recently the county was the place where the global price of lead was set - it is a major mover and shaker as counties go, with or without its 'Flintshire Detached' section!From the 3,500 year old Gold Cape of Mold to the country house home of four-time Prime Minister of Great Britain William Gladstone, the last stone castle built by the Welsh to a site of pilgrimage that has been in use for 1,300 years, there's tonnes to talk about!Plus, bolstered by some extracts of this week's Local Legends interview with author and Flintshire historian David Rowe, it turns out the county has heaps of folklore, too. From ghosts and giant legless frogs with bat wings to The Demon of Flint, some excellent examples of folk magic, and "The Stone of Lamentation" we revel in the strangeness of it all.Then though, it's time for Martin's story, "Deborah's Well," a story of a woman slain by her brother, but who walks on, and has done so for a very long time...We hope that you enjoy the episode, and will speak to you again on Thursday with a brand new episode of Forgotten Melodies all about Love Songs before the full interview with David comes out on Saturday!Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, we take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastREGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURVisit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

In Episode 20 of The No Treason Podcast, Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's Trial by Jury, focusing on Chapter 9: “The Criminal Intent.” Drake explores Spooner's core argument that there can be no true crime without criminal intent, and that juries—not judges or statutes—must determine both the law and the motive of the accused. He contrasts natural law with modern statutory systems, arguing that courts have replaced the “guilty mind” standard with blind obedience to arbitrary legislation. The episode dismantles the doctrine that “ignorance of the law excuses no one,” exposing it as a tool for maintaining absolute governmental authority rather than justice. Through examples ranging from property rights to medical licensing monopolies, Drake illustrates how the erosion of true trial by jury has enabled regulatory overreach and the expansion of state power. Blending legal philosophy, historical analysis, and practical application, this installment challenges listeners to reconsider what justice actually means—and whether America still lives up to the title “land of the free.”

Dr. Martin Shaw on February 5, 2026 at the Graduate by Hilton Evanston Hotel. There's an old Irish belief that if you aren't wrapped in a cloak of story you will be unprepared for what the world will hurl at you. You remain adolescent at just the moment a culture worth its salt requires you to become a real, grown, human being. Myths from antiquity are vivid in describing the conditions of life. Christianity goes a step further in providing the most extraordinary example of how to live that life. Working out of examples from Arthurian and fairy tale motifs, acclaimed mythographer Martin Shaw shows how, if ‘all true is God's truth', profound Christian resonances can be found in many mythic traditions. How do stories assist us in the making of a real human being? In troubled times how could we forge a deeper life? In this event, we welcome Dr. Martin Shaw to celebrate the release of his new book _Liturgies of the Wild_.

A conversation with Karla Treadway, Marketing Strategist for Brave Brands and Freedom Focused Entrepreneurs. Essential listening for: anyone trying to plan their way to certainty, people who feel behind because they haven't "settled," and those ready to trade the myth of safety for something more honest. Maybe you've been looking for the thing that will finally make you feel safe. The right place, the right plan, the right amount of money in the bank. This episode will make you think differently about safety, security, and what courage actually requires when nothing stays the same. Karla Treadway is here to tell you: it doesn't exist. And that's actually the good news. Because once you stop chasing the myth of safety, you can start building something real. A life that adapts. A life that pivots. A life where you're not waiting to arrive because you know the work never stops and that's okay. In this conversation, we talk about what it actually means to live sovereign in a world that keeps trying to sell you certainty. We wade into the messy middle of propaganda, the loss of nuance, and why we're all ants in a jar being shaken while we attack each other instead of looking up.

What if the thing that looks like a distraction is actually the move that saves your startup? This episode breaks down why the “stay focused at all costs” advice can be risky when you're still figuring out what actually works. The hosts challenge the myth of the linear startup path, arguing that side quests—small, intentional experiments with capped downside—create learning, reduce single points of failure, and help you earn the right to pivot with evidence instead of vibes.They share how Fundable's early equity crowdfunding push revealed founders were unprepared to raise money, which led to a major side quest: doing diligence on about 100 companies, talking to 200+, and acquiring six venture-backed businesses—work that became the genesis of startups.com. Along the way, they highlight the value of the quest itself (market intel, understanding what not to do, faster learning) and even mention an extreme near-distraction: briefly considering buying Atari.The conversation also reframes common “side quests” like doing services work while building a product, arguing that bringing in revenue to stay alive isn't a distraction—it's the business. They clarify the difference between a side quest (exploration) and a pivot (committing to a new direction), and point to the podcast itself as an example of a side quest that became a major long-term asset after a rough start.What to listen for:00:40 The AI Newsletter Moment That Sparked the Topic01:47 What a “Side Quest” Means for Founders03:45 The Myth of the Linear Startup Path06:34 When Focus Becomes a Liability: Certainty, Ego & Roadmaps10:04 Side Quests as the Ongoing Lab (and Why It Never Ends)12:01 Case Study: Fundable 2012 and the Crowdfunding Gold Rush15:48 The Pivot: Founders Needed Help, Not Just a Platform18:07 Side Quests Done Right: Controlled Experiments (…and Almost Buying Atari)18:42 The Wild Idea: Almost Buying Atari (Nostalgia vs. Distraction)19:48 Why Side Quests Matter: Learning More Than the Outcome20:42 Founder-Forward Deal Talks & Market Intel as a Force Multiplier22:10 Side Quests as “Insurance”: Selling the Learning to Skeptics23:48 The Classic Startup Side Quest: Services to Pay the Bills27:14 Side Quest vs. Pivot: Exploration First, Commitment Later27:52 The Podcast as a Side Quest That Became Core to the Business30:26 Earning the Right to Pivot: Evidence, Courage, and Finding Truth34:20 Closing: De-Risking Through Exploration + Startups.com Community InviteResources:Startup Therapy Podcasthttps://www.startups.com/community/startup-therapyWebsitehttps://www.startups.com/beginLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/startups-co/Join our Network of Top FoundersWil Schroterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/wilschroter/Ryan Rutanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-rutan/

Today we're sharing something special that was previously only available over on our Substack page, our exclusive live post-episode chat Mayim and Jonathan did with our special Substack community about the recent episode we did with Michael Singer, the renowned spiritual teacher and author of The Untethered Soul. While many enter 2026 with a "best year ever" mentality that can feel arbitrary or even off-putting, this discussion offers something more grounded: a simple and powerful mantra for when things go wrong—"I can handle this." How do we do that? We start by deconstructing the internal narratives that keep us in a reactive state. Mayim and Jonathan dive into the "most valuable sell" for anyone seeking peace: the realization that we don't need to "wake up" to a new reality, but rather stop putting ourselves back to sleep with our own "emotional garbage". But "I can handle this" is more than just a phrase; it's a way to influence our biology. Mayim explains that when we use our intellect to imagine something different, we are actually changing our physiology—altering our body's ability to heal, connect, and thrive. By leaning into this mantra, we stop the "animal part" of our brain from merely reacting to past programming and instead use our consciousness to navigate the world with choice. The live also explores: - The Myth of the Permanent High: Spiritual awakening is not a constant state of euphoria. It's about the "residue" you bring back from the mountaintop to handle the messy reality of traffic, technology fails, and human conflict. - The Sky Metaphor for Awareness: Peace and beauty are always available—like the sky—but we are often "unavailable" to notice them because we are fighting reality rather than acknowledging it. - Navigating the "Grit vs. Flow" Balance: A deep dive into the tension between the tenacity required to achieve goals and the spiritual wisdom required to read the "writing on the wall" when it's time to change course. - Micro-Deconstruction of Fear: Jonathan explains how to slow down a reactive moment to distinguish between a genuine lack of safety and a familiar "story" generated by past programming. - Acceptance as an Active Choice: How to move beyond "ignoring" or "suppressing" difficult feelings and instead learning to take the "signs of resistance" as vital information. This is a conversation about the intersection of neurobiology and ancient wisdom, providing a toolkit for anyone ready to stop fighting the universe and start handling whatever 2026 brings.

You're taking 600 IU of vitamin D.Your labs say “normal.”But you could still be deficient. In this episode, Ben reveals why the official vitamin D recommendations were based on preventing rickets, not optimizing immunity, metabolism, muscle, or brain health. Independent researchers reanalyzed the original RDA data and found the required intake for adequacy was dramatically higher — yet the guidelines barely changed. Vitamin D is not just a vitamin. It functions like a steroid hormone and impacts: Immune regulation Inflammation control Insulin sensitivity Muscle protein synthesis Brain function Low vitamin D is strongly associated with insulin resistance, and since 93% of Americans are insulin resistant, this could be a massive blind spot. Ben also explains: Why “normal” lab ranges may still mean deficiency Why optimal levels should be above 60 ng/mL How obesity lowers circulating vitamin D Why magnesium and vitamin K2 are required for proper activation Why toxicity fears are overblown compared to widespread insufficiency You'll also learn the simple 3-step plan to optimize vitamin D safely: Smart midday sun exposure Intelligent supplementation with D3 + K2 + magnesium Regular testing and cofactor support If you're over 45, insulin resistant, or struggling with stubborn inflammation, this episode could be a game changer.

Why is cows' milk, which few nonwhite people can digest, promoted as a science-backed dietary necessity in countries where the majority of the population is lactose-intolerant? Why are gigantic new dairy farms permitted to deplete the sparse water resources of desert ecosystems? Why do thousands of U.S. dairy farmers every year give up after struggling to recoup production costs against plummeting wholesale prices? Exploring these questions and many more, Spoiled: The Myth of Milk as Superfood (Columbia UP, 2023) is an unflinching and meticulous critique of the glorification of fluid milk and its alleged universal benefits. Anne Mendelson's groundbreaking book chronicles the story of milk from the Stone Age peoples who first domesticated cows, goats, and sheep to today's troubled dairy industry. Spoiled shows that drinking fresh milk was rare until Western scientific experts who were unaware of genetic differences in the ability to digest lactose deemed it superior to traditional fermented dairy products. Their flawed beliefs fueled the growth of a massive and environmentally devastating industry that turned milk into a cheap, ubiquitous commodity. Mendelson's wide-ranging account also examines the consequences of homogenization and refrigeration technologies, the toll that modern farming takes on dairy cows, and changing perceptions of raw milk since the advent of pasteurization. Unraveling the myths and misconceptions that prop up the dairy industry, Spoiled calls for more sustainable, healthful futures in our relationship with milk and the animals that provide it. Melek Firat Altay is a neuroscientist, biologist and musician. Her research focuses on deciphering the molecular and cellular mechanisms of neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders.

"150 universities have adopted neutrality policies just since October 7th. I'm on the losing end of this trend." — Brian SoucekUniversities keep claiming what they see as the moral high ground of neutrality. But Brian Soucek, who holds the MLK chair at UC Davis School of Law, believes that's a dangerous myth. In his new book, The Opinionated University: Academic Freedom, Diversity, and the Myth of Neutrality in American Higher Education, Soucek argues in favor of the biased university. His argument is that even (or, perhaps, particularly) when universities stay quiet, they're actually taking sides through their policies, their hiring, their building names, their actions. Silence isn't neutral. It's ideological.This fetish with neutrality is gaining in popularity, Soucek warns. Since October 7th, an estimated 150 universities have adopted neutrality pledges—pushed by well-funded efforts from the Goldwater Institute and others. Every pledge has a vague moral carve-out: universities will still speak when their "mission is at stake." But everyone has a mission and they are all different. That's the whole point. Soucek claims the moral high ground of pluralism. That's why he wants Boston College to be different from Yale, UC Davis different from University of Austin. The flattening of higher education into some imagined neutral sameness is what terrifies this classical liberal.The real crisis, Soucek insists, isn't self-censoring students or woke professors. It's the external threat of federal funding cuts, hostile state legislatures, a Trump administration that has declared DEI illegal without exactly making it so. Universities are staying quiet because, as one UC president put it, "We don't want to be the tallest nail." But Harvard's faculty spoke out through the AAUP, and it changed the conversation. For Soucek, silence isn't safety. It's surrender. Eventually everyone will become the tallest nail. And will be flattened by a hammer-wielding ideological foe.On the promise or threat of AI, Soucek is blunt: the idea of objective algorithms deciding what statues to take down or what books to read sounds to him "completely dystopian." We'd lose something essential if we stopped allowing communities to make these contested decisions differently, he says. For Soucek, that's not a bug of an otherwise unbiased university. It's the feature of any credible institute of higher learning. Five Takeaways●      Neutrality Is a Myth: Universities claim neutrality but act in non-neutral ways—through policies, hiring, building names. Silence is a choice, not an absence of choice.●      150 Universities Signed Neutrality Pledges Since October 7th: Well-funded efforts from the Goldwater Institute are pushing this flattening of higher education. Soucek sees himself on the losing end.●      The External Threats Are the Real Crisis: Not self-censoring students. Federal funding cuts are existential. Universities are staying quiet so as not to be "the tallest nail."●      Pluralism, Not Homogeneity: Different universities should have different missions. That's why University of Austin is fine. New College Florida—where changes were imposed from above—is a disaster.●      AI Objectivity Is Dystopian: Letting algorithms decide which statues to take down or which books to read? We'd lose something essential. Contested decisions should stay contested. About the GuestBrian Soucek is Professor of Law and holds the Martin Luther King Jr. Chair at UC Davis School of Law. He is the author of The Opinionated University: Academic Freedom, Diversity, and the Myth of Neutrality in American Higher Education. He earned his JD from Yale Law School and his undergraduate degree from Boston College.ReferencesConcepts mentioned:●      The Kalven Report was a 1967 University of Chicago faculty report on institutional neutrality. It's been revived by organizations pushing neutrality pledges.●      The Goldwater Institute has funded efforts to get university boards to adopt neutrality policies modeled on the Kalven Report.●      Heterodox Academy is a campus speech advocacy organization that estimated 150 universities adopted neutrality policies since October 7th.●      FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) conducts surveys on campus self-censorship that Soucek references.Universities mentioned:●      University of Austin is a new university founded by tech figures with a consciously different mission. Soucek supports its existence as an example of pluralism.●      New College Florida was transformed by Governor DeSantis and Chris Rufo. Soucek calls it a disaster—changes imposed from above, not through shared governance.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

With national debt up $2.6 trillion in one year and trade deficits exploding despite tariffs, the dollar faces collapse while oil and gold signal inflation's return.- This episode is sponsored by Grammarly. Download Grammarly for free at https://grammarly.com- This episode is also sponsored by Pebl. Go to https://hipebl.ai to get a free estimate.Peter Schiff analyzes mounting evidence that the U.S. dollar is heading for a major decline, driven by exploding deficits and failed trade policies. With the national debt surging $2.6 trillion in just over a year under Trump, and trade deficits widening despite tariffs, Schiff argues that the same deficit spending Republicans blamed for Biden's inflation is now accelerating under the current administration. Oil prices have surged 21% in two months, hitting six-month highs above $66, while gold holds support above $5,000 as central banks continue dumping dollars. The December trade deficit data reveals Trump's tariffs are backfiring spectacularly - imports rising while exports fall, proving Americans pay 90% of tariff costs according to New York Fed studies. Housing markets show severe stress with pending home sales hitting record lows, signaling price corrections ahead. Schiff credits Trump for reducing FDA drug approval requirements from two studies to one, but argues this modest deregulation doesn't address the fundamental problem of government interference in healthcare markets that didn't exist before 1962.Chapters:01:33 Gold & Silver Snapshot: Buy the Dip Below $5,00002:14 Oil Breakout: Why Gas Prices Are Headed Higher05:42 Dollar Weakness #1: Exploding Deficits and the Debt Rollover Bomb09:52 Tariffs, Taxes, and the Myth of 1880s Prosperity15:54 DOGE, Elon Musk, and Why Government Can't Be Efficient20:14 World Ditches the Dollar: Central Banks Buy Gold21:32 Trade Deficit Reality Check: December Numbers Blow Out27:28 Tariffs Backfire: New York Fed Study Says Americans Pay36:20 Twin Deficits → Inflation & Rates: The Macro Chain Reaction39:22 Housing Bubble Math: Rates Up Means Prices Must Fall42:04 Giving Credit Where Due: Trump's FDA Change to One Efficacy Study45:05 Before 1962/1938: How Drug Approval Worked in a Freer Market53:28 Wrap-Up: Newsletter, Gold/Silver, EuroPac Funds & Upcoming Live ShowFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/newsFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/books#Gold #Tariffs #InflationOur Sponsors:* Check out GhostBed: https://ghostbed.com/PETER* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Did the Zodiac Killer ever exist? Jimmy Akin and Dom Bettinelli analyze the crimes, letters, and evidence behind a bold claim: the Zodiac was a hoax. Are the links real—or carefully constructed? The post The MYTH of the Zodiac Killer? appeared first on StarQuest Media.

Guy Adami interviews Michael Kao (@UrbanKaoboy), discussing the historic moves in gold and silver, the debate over fiat debasement versus speculative positioning, and why charts showing central bank gold eclipsing Treasury holdings can be misleading because much of the change is price appreciation rather than new buying. Kao argues true de-dollarization is unlikely due to the lack of a rival fiat ecosystem with comparable liquidity and deep bond markets, and says a shift from Treasuries to gold as a reserve anchor would imply economic austerity and slower global GDP growth. They explore how geopolitics (including post-Ukraine reserve seizure fears) and Trump-related tariff and deficit narratives have fueled gold, while Kao outlines a contrarian view that Trump 2.0 policies plus AI could be deflationary and potentially restore productivity-driven disinflationary growth similar to the late 1990s; he also critiques CBO debt projections for assuming low productivity growth. The conversation covers AI's disruptive impact on industry moats and equity multiple compression versus immediate default risk, touches briefly on Japan's bond market and the yen carry trade, and examines the “sanctity” of large AI CapEx plans and whether AI expands total addressable markets or mainly drives cost cutting. Kao highlights his thesis from his piece on AI electrification: U.S. electricity demand may accelerate sharply after decades of flat growth, creating an energy bottleneck that increases reliance on natural gas (given limits to coal and nuclear), amplified by data center buildouts and LNG exports. He explains his preference for natural gas mineral strategies that distribute cash flow over trading commodities or owning E&P equities due to capital allocation risks, and notes recent oil spikes have often faded since 2022.

Did the Zodiac Killer actually exist? Jimmy Akin and Dom Bettinelli analyze the crimes, letters, and evidence behind a bold claim: the Zodiac was a hoax. Are the links real—or carefully constructed?

Stop Being Scared: Why Mistakes Are Your Secret Weapon in Note InvestingLet's be real: the fear of "screwing up" is the number one killer of real estate dreams. We've all heard those "gurus" on stage claiming that if you make one wrong move, you'll be blacklisted forever. It's intimidating, it's stressful, and frankly, it's total nonsense.In the world of note investing, perfection isn't just unnecessary—it's a recipe for disaster. If you spend weeks agonizing over every decimal point before submitting a bid, the market will move right past you. Every successful investor you see today started exactly where you are: trying to figure things out and making plenty of blunders along the way.The Myth of the "Perfect Deal"The quest for the perfect deal is a trap. Scott Carson recalls a student who refused a deal on a pink house in Florida that could have doubled his money simply because it wasn't "perfect". There is no such thing as a perfect deal. Success in this business isn't about hitting a bullseye on your first try; it's about getting on the board and refining your aim as you go.Key Takeaways for Navigating the Note BusinessTo scale your business in 2026, you have to trade perfectionism for action. Here is the blueprint for moving past the fear and starting to close deals:Embrace the Learning Process: Everyone—even the veterans—makes mistakes in bidding, due diligence, and marketing. These aren't failures; they are the "learning process" required to master the craft.Play the Numbers Game: Most investors only have a 10% close ratio. If you only make one "perfect" offer, you have a 90% chance of closing nothing. To succeed, you must make 10, 20, or even 100 offers to ensure you get deals into the due diligence phase.Don't Let "Fuzzy" Data Stop You: Sometimes sellers won't give you full addresses or updated values upfront. Don't spend hours researching; bid based on the information available (like city, zip, and equity). You can always "flush the bid" or cancel during due diligence if the full details don't check out.Simplified Bidding Formulas:For Performing/Occupied Notes: Target a 16% ROI. Multiply the monthly payment by 12 (for performing) or 16 (for non-performing) and divide by your offer to find your yield.The 80% Rule: For notes with at least 20% equity, bidding around 80% of the unpaid balance is a strong starting point in the current market.The "Take Back" Rule: Never buy a note on a property you wouldn't be comfortable owning if you had to foreclose. If the asset or the neighborhood is "crap," simply walk away.Leverage Mentorship: Don't believe anyone who says they did it alone. Whether it's attending a mastermind with a "note draft" or joining a workshop, having a support system helps you avoid the fatal mistakes while you're learning the minor ones.At the end of the day, the biggest mistake you can make is sitting on the sidelines. Even sports legends like Nolan Ryan—who had seven no-hitters and the most strikeouts in history—never pitched a "perfect game" and gave up plenty of home runs. You don't need to be perfect to be a Hall of Famer; you just need to stay in the game.Stop worrying about what the "gurus" think and start taking action. The faster you make those early mistakes, the faster you'll reach the success you're looking for.Watch the Original VIDEO HERE!Book a Call With Scott HERE!Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!Love the show?

It's a common myth and narrative that love hits like fireworks—a single, undeniable lightning bolt moment. But for me, it was a long, often tumultuous journey of heartbreak, self-discovery, and a lot of patience that finally led me to my 'one.'   In this episode, I'm getting raw and unfiltered about the decade I spent single and the 'messy growth' it took to finally be ready for the relationship I have now. I'm sharing the real story of meeting my husband, from our first Hinge match to the quiet, profound moments where I realized he was different.   I'm diving into: The Myth of Instant Certainty: Why waiting for a 'sign' might be blocking you from the right person.   Increasing Your Surface Area for Luck: How getting outside your comfort zone (and your apartment!) creates the serendipity needed for love to find you.   Becoming the Right Partner: The hard truths I had to face in therapy about my own 'fake confidence' and how I was actually closing myself off.   The Power of Spontaneity: Why I'm learning to trade my 'recovering planner' tendencies for impromptu date nights at cozy hotel bars.   Whether you're single and feeling stuck, navigating the anxiety of a new relationship, or years into a marriage, this episode is a reminder that love is a marathon, not a sprint. It's not about the grand gestures; it's about the consistent, ordinary moments where you choose each other repeatedly.   I hope my story reminds you that your unique journey is exactly where it's supposed to be. Let's figure it out together.   Follow me on Instagram Shop by Gift Guides! ShopMy - What I'm Loving Lately

On this episode of “Tommy Talk,” Tommy discusses if work-life balance is really attainable. He explores what “balance” really means in today’s fast-paced world.

Whether you’re climbing the career ladder, raising a family, building a business, or just trying to carve out more time for yourself, let’s rethink the idea of balance because maybe the real question isn’t whether work–life balance is attainable, but how you choose to define it.Subscribe, rate, and leave a written review if you enjoy this conversation!

Ad revenue is still holding up in key quarters—even as some US economic signals flash stress and platform reporting gets a bit murkier. Kate Scott-Dawkins joins Jeff Foster and Nidhi Shah to break down fresh earnings signals (Roku, Walmart/eBay, Pinterest, travel platforms, Reddit), then brings in WPP Media search experts Katelyn Taylor and Teddie Cowell for a fast-moving conversation on how “search” is expanding beyond the box into AI discovery, answer engines, and agentic commerce. Topics include: Roku platform growth and OS advantage, retail media's continued surge (Walmart's $6.4B ads and eBay near $2B), AI shopping assistants and order value lift, Pinterest monetization and international user mix, travel advertising divergence (Booking/Expedia vs Tripadvisor) under AI-driven traffic shifts, Reddit's ad growth and changes to user reporting, why AI search isn't a zero-sum threat to traditional search, “total search” (paid + organic + social + commerce), EEAT/source-worthiness and third-party signals (PR/UGC/reviews), the human vs machine content tension during the agentic transition, and the five pillars of the Advertising Intelligence Framework (inputs, processing, distribution, monetization, content/media).00:00 – Intro: ad resilience, murkier reporting, and search beyond the box01:01 – Earnings roundup: Roku, retail media (Walmart/eBay), Pinterest, travel, Reddit12:01 – Search deep dive begins: why search is still strong in 202615:10 – “Total search”: paid + organic + social + commerce + PR/affiliates18:10 – Myth-busting + Google context: AI discovery isn't zero-sum20:53 – EEAT/source-worthiness: trust signals, UGC, and third-party visibility23:16 – Who's most disrupted: traffic-first models vs value-based measurement26:06 – Advertising Intelligence Framework: five pillars and how to use itAdvertising Intelligence Framework: https://www.wppmedia.com/thought-leadership/research-business-intelligence/advertising-intelligence-framework-first-edition?utm_source=media_intelligence&utm_medium=podcast

For decades, many fans have pointed to Yoko Ono as the reason The Beatles broke up — but history tells a far more complex story. In this audio highlight, author Madeline Bocaro (In Your Mind: The Infinite Universe of Yoko Ono) explains how the narrative took hold and what was really happening inside the band during their final years. Sometimes the loudest story isn't the truest one.Listen to Episode 359 - Yoko Ono at 93: Art, Sound, and the Legacy Revisited

A Note from James:In the first episode with Dr. Nicole McNichols, we talked about chemistry, myths, and why communication matters more than performance. This episode goes deeper—into biology, anatomy, dopamine, desire, and the mechanics of pleasure.There are a lot of myths around sex. Some are cultural. Some are Hollywood. Some come from bad science. And some just come from silence.This conversation gets specific. We talk about orgasm, desire, scheduling sex, the so-called “missionary problem,” novelty in long-term relationships, and why so much of what we assume about men and women sexually just isn't true.If Part 1 was about mindset, Part 2 is about understanding how sex actually works.Episode Description:What actually happens in the body during orgasm? Why does anticipation sometimes feel better than the act itself? And why are so many of our beliefs about sex simply wrong?In Part 2 of this three-part series, Dr. Nicole McNichols breaks down the biology of desire, the science of orgasm, and the myths that quietly sabotage long-term relationships.She explains why dopamine peaks during anticipation, why consistency—not intensity—is often key to orgasm, and why “missionary” might be underrated. They explore the anatomy of the clitoris (including research only fully mapped in 2006), the orgasm gap, responsive vs. spontaneous desire, and why scheduling intimacy can actually increase desire.This episode reframes sex not as performance, but as collaboration—an evolving, communicative process rooted in curiosity and growth.What You'll Learn:Why dopamine spikes during anticipation—and how to avoid the post-expectation letdownThe difference between spontaneous and responsive desire (for both men and women)Why consistency is physiologically critical during orgasmThe science behind the orgasm gap and what actually closes itWhy scheduling intimacy can increase frequency and desire—not kill spontaneityTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] No One Craves Bad Sex & The Myth of “Boring” Positions[00:03:18] Previously on Part 1: Porn Myths & Feeling Wanted[00:04:00] Chemistry, Pheromones & The Role of Safety[00:06:00] Sexual Growth Mindset & Compatibility[00:08:00] Fireworks vs. Communication[00:10:00] Anatomy, Diversity of Touch & The Clitoris Explained[00:12:00] Scripts, Feedback & How to Talk During Sex[00:17:00] Novelty, Micro-Novelty & Preventing Boredom[00:19:00] Wanting, Liking & Learning: The Pleasure Cycle[00:23:00] Expanding the Definition of Sex[00:25:00] The “Sex Recession” & Frequency Myths[00:27:00] Planning Intimacy & Scheduling Sex[00:31:00] Why Missionary Deserves a Rebrand[00:34:00] Internal Anatomy, the Clitoral Complex & Size Myths[00:39:00] What Is an Orgasm, Physiologically?[00:45:00] The Orgasm Gap & Why Fingering Matters[00:47:00] Consistency vs. “Faster & Harder”[00:49:00] Masturbation Myths & No Nut November[00:51:00] Refractory Period & Aging[00:55:00] Multiple Orgasms & What Research Shows[01:00:00] Love, Orientation & Novelty in Long-Term RelationshipsAdditional Resources:You Could Be Having Better SexNicole McNicholsHelen O'Connell – Research mapping full clitoral anatomy (MRI studies)Beverly Whipple – Orgasm research & physiological studiesA Moveable Feast – Referenced during discussionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The title of this episode seems even more high-weird than Aeon Byte content, but it will make transcendental sense as James True materializes in the Virtual Alexandria. It will be a rewarding psychospiritual ride, from the pre-egoic consciousness of ancient Greece and Rome to the modern-day integration techniques that tap into the mythology of the werewolf. In between, the sibylline prophecy will accompany us, providing essential tools for self-knowledge and for navigating our collapsing simulation.

In an age of growing wealth disparities, politicians on both sides of the aisle are sounding the alarm about the fading American Dream. Yet despite all evidence to the contrary, many still view the United States as the land of opportunity. The American Mirage addresses this puzzle by exposing the stark reality of today's media landscape, revealing how popular entertainment media shapes politics and public opinion in an increasingly news-avoiding nation. Drawing on an eclectic array of original data, Dr. Eunji Kim demonstrates how, amid a dazzling array of media choices, many Americans simply are not consuming the news. Instead, millions flock to entertainment programs that showcase real-life success stories, such as American Idol, Shark Tank, and MasterChef. Dr. Kim examines how shows like these leave viewers confoundingly optimistic about the prospects of upward mobility, promoting a false narrative of rugged individualism and meritocracy that contradicts what is being reported in the news. By taking seriously what people casually watch every day, The American Mirage shows how rags-to-riches programs perpetuate the myth of the American Dream, glorifying the economic winners, fostering tolerance for income inequality, and dampening support for redistributive policies that could improve people's lives. Our guest is: Dr. Eunji Kim, who is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Columbia University. As a political communication scholar, she primarily studies the impact of media content on mass attitudes and political behavior. She is the author of The American Mirage: How Reality TV Upholds the Myth of Meritocracy. Her research explores a range of topics, and has been published in many leading journals including the American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is a writing coach and editor for academics.

In an age of growing wealth disparities, politicians on both sides of the aisle are sounding the alarm about the fading American Dream. Yet despite all evidence to the contrary, many still view the United States as the land of opportunity. The American Mirage addresses this puzzle by exposing the stark reality of today's media landscape, revealing how popular entertainment media shapes politics and public opinion in an increasingly news-avoiding nation. Drawing on an eclectic array of original data, Dr. Eunji Kim demonstrates how, amid a dazzling array of media choices, many Americans simply are not consuming the news.

Today we're having an uncomfortable but very necessary conversation about antidepressants and the theory that these drugs work for those with depression by correcting imbalanced chemicals in their brain.Our guest to discuss this topic is Joanna Moncrieff, a Professor of Psychiatry at University College London, and works as a consultant psychiatrist in the NHS. She is author of numerous scientific papers including a major review that showed there was little evidence to support the idea that depression is caused by a serotonin abnormality. Her most recent book "Chemically Imbalanced: the making and unmaking of the serotonin myth” is what we're going to be discussing today.This was a complete eye opener for me. For years I believed in the pharmaceutical washed message that antidepressants worked because of a genuine brain chemical imbalance that we corrected with medications. This is not proven.Today we'll discuss over-use and misrepresentation of psychiatric drugs in the public sphere, the changing philosophy of mental health and how we got to a point where over 8 million people in the UK use antidepressants.We discuss what serotonin is, how we measure it in the body, why the imbalance theory is inconclusive, whether antidepressants have good evidence that they work and their many side effects.I want to make it clear that this episode is not meant to shame or belittle anyone on medications for mental health, but provide accurate information about how we can safely treat these problems and offer informed consent weighing up the pros and cons of medications like antidepressants. The use of these medications has well recognised withdrawal and dependency effects and should not be stopped without strict supervision of your medical practitioner. We've also linked to the Maudsley deprescribing guidelines here in the show notes for practitioners educating themselves on how to do this with their patients.Chemically Imbalanced BookWebsite: https://joannamoncrieff.com/

How many times have you tried to “just drink less”… only to end up right back where you started? In this episode, I'm talking about the hard but freeing truth behind repeated failed attempts at moderation — and the thinking patterns that keep high-achieving women stuck in the cycle of overdrinking. If you've ever told yourself: • “I'll only drink on weekends.” • “I'll switch to wine.” • “I just need better rules.” • “This time will be different.” …this episode is for you. We're diving into the disordered thinking that protects alcohol instead of protecting you — including moving goalposts, alcohol amnesia, the “just one more try” loop, and the illusion of control that keeps you negotiating instead of deciding. No shame here, just clarity. You'll learn: • How to recognize when moderation isn't working for you • Why your brain keeps convincing you to try again • The difference between perseverance and avoidance • When it might be time to stop managing your drinking and make a clear decision If you're tired of thinking about alcohol all the time…tired of starting over…tired of proving you “should” be able to control it… This Stop Over-drinking and Start Living Podcast episode is a conversation is for women who are sober curious, cutting back on alcohol, taking a break, or exploring a healthier relationship with drinking and with themselves. If you're ready to explore private coaching or attending a Magic House Retreat in Lisbon to transform your relationship with alcohol at a deeper level, you can book a Clarity Call here: https://www.angelamascenik.com/claritycallAnd check out the last 3 spots in the May Magic House Retreat in Lisbon!https://www.angelamascenik.com/magichousefounderscircle

"Culture is defined by how we treat each other when nobody's watching." This philosophy, forged in the fires of firefighting and high-stakes football, has driven the growth of one of the Pacific Northwest's most successful independent luxury real estate firms.In this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Chris Schembra sits down with Nick Schleckaway, the CEO and founder of Amherst Madison. While Nick is a titan of the real estate industry, this isn't a conversation about market trends or interest rates. This is a visceral exploration of "Earned Connection"—the intentional effort required to build a sense of belonging in a world that has traded physical presence for digital convenience.Nick shares a vulnerable look at his own "hard week," discussing the weight of leadership when key team members move on and how he leans on the "lifeboat" of his family to stay afloat. Together, Chris and Nick dismantle the myth of hybrid culture, arguing that true innovation isn't found in a Zoom call, but in the friction of being together.10 Memorable Quotes:"Culture is how we treat each other when nobody's watching.""My family is my lifeboat; when the professional waters get choppy, they keep me from sinking.""Hybrid is not where you work. It's how you work.""Convenience is the enemy of connection.""Culture doesn't happen in a recorded town hall; it happens in the unscripted moments.""You can't lead a 1099 workforce with a W2 mindset.""The office isn't just a place to work; it's where trust is traded.""Leadership is defined by what you are willing to put up with.""We are trading meaningful friction for frictionless isolation.""If you want to scale belonging, you have to shrink the room."10 Key Takeaways:The 1099 Culture Challenge: Building culture for independent contractors is fundamentally different from employees; it requires creating an environment people choose to enter rather than one they are paid to stay in.The Performance Gap: There is a direct correlation between physical office presence and professional success; agents who show up in person consistently outperform those who stay remote.Convenience vs. Connection: Companies often mistake "easy" interactions (like virtual happy hours) for real culture. True belonging requires "earned connection," which often involves the effort of physical proximity.The "Lifeboat" Strategy: During professional trials, leaders must identify their personal anchors—for Nick, it is his wife Megan and children Charlotte and Beau—to maintain perspective.The Myth of Hybrid: Hybrid work should not be viewed as a location, but as a methodology. Without intentionality, hybrid often defaults to total disengagement.Friction as a Tool: Meaningful relationships require "friction"—the effort of travel, the risk of face-to-face conversation, and the lack of a "mute" button—to develop depth.Scaling via Intimacy: To impact a large organization, leaders should focus on frequent, intimate, small-group gatherings rather than infrequent, massive corporate events.Trust as Currency: In high-stakes industries like real estate, trust is the primary currency. That trust is built faster through non-verbal cues and "hallway talk" than through digital screens.Leading by Example: A leader's primary job in culture-building is modeling the behavior they want to see, especially when it comes to showing up and being present.Human-Centric Real Estate: Despite the rise of AI and digital platforms, real estate remains a deeply human, referral-based business that relies on local community ties.About our Guest: Nick Schleckaway Founder & CEO, Amherst MadisonNick Schleckaway is an entrepreneur, executive coach, and the visionary leader behind Amherst Madison, Idaho's top luxury real estate brokerage. A former firefighter and captain of the Boise State University football team, Nick brings a unique blend of "grit and grace" to the corporate world. Under his leadership, Amherst Madison has become one of the fastest-growing independent firms in the United States, known for its high standards and unique culture.Nick's perspective on resilience is shaped by his background in emergency services and his upcoming book on company culture. He is a devoted father and husband, residing in Boise, Idaho, where he continues to advocate for the power of physical presence and authentic human connection in the modern workplace.

Are men taught to be strong at the cost of being whole, and is that inner fracture driving disconnection, addiction, and despair? Josh Trent welcomes Connor Beaton to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 801, to break down the myth of modern masculinity, why suppression masquerades as strength, how porn, stress, and emotional avoidance become coping mechanisms, why men need initiation and mentorship to move from numbness to mastery, how shadow work and confrontation build real confidence, and why emotional leadership is the foundation of healthy relationships and fatherhood.
