Alan sits down with Broadway producer Brian Anthony Moreland for a candid, high-energy conversation about the realities of commercial theatre. Brian shares the fascinating story of how he caught the theatre bug playing Santa Claus in the third grade , his formative years at a performing arts boarding school , and his early career as a non-union dancer dealing with the exhausting audition grind in New York City. He opens up about the pivotal moment he decided to pivot to producing, starting with a grueling five-and-a-half-year journey to bring Thoughts of a Colored Man to Broadway. Alan and Brian pull back the curtain on the industry's economic pressures, debating Broadway financials, escalating production costs, and what it truly takes to balance commercial viability with meaningful, artistic storytelling. The conversation centers deeply on Brian's extraordinary relationship with the work of August Wilson. He recalls the serendipitous train ride to Pittsburgh that led to him producing the record-breaking revival of The Piano Lesson , and how Denzel Washington personally asked him to lead-produce his next Wilson project. Brian breaks down the profound themes of identity, healing, and family preservation driving his latest production at the Barrymore Theatre, Joe Turner's Come and Gone, sharing delightful insights into working with legendary director Debbie Allen and the joyful, nurturing energy that stars Taraji P. Henson and Cedric the Entertainer bring to the rehearsal room. Finally, Brian takes on the 60-second plot challenge, pitches a classic musical, and reflects on the timeless power of theatre as a space where you can be anything. Brian Anthony Moreland is a transformative Broadway producer dedicated to shaping the contemporary cultural landscape through visionary, inclusive storytelling. Originally from California, he began his career as a performer before transitioning into producing. His impressive Broadway repertoire includes the ground-breaking global hit Othello starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, the record-breaking revival of August Wilson's The Piano Lesson, The Wiz, The Lifespan of a Fact, Sea Wall / A Life, and The Sound Inside. A respected industry leader, Moreland serves on the Board of Governors of The Broadway League, where he co-chairs the Multicultural Task Force. He also holds leadership roles as a Trustee for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, a Trustee of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, a Board Director for NYC Tourism and Conventions, and is an active member of the Theatre Development Fund (TDF).

Meditation given at Our Lady of Refuge
You remember who you were before.Before the baby. Before the shift. Before the season that asked more than you had.And you're pissed. Because you can feel the gap between that woman and this one. You keep trying to return to her — the version that felt easy, certain, unstoppable. The one who built without overthinking because you didn't know enough to be scared yet.That's the episode. And if you felt something reading that — keep listening.Because the work isn't getting her back.It never was.IN THIS EPISODE— The grief nobody names: why you're not lost, you're mourning a version of yourself that lived in a different season— The most dangerous comparison you're making — and it's not to other women— What naive conviction actually is and why you had it the first time without even trying— How to choose that same conviction on purpose — from exactly where you are right now— What it actually means to be a hot mom, hot business woman: not returning to who you were, but building something that makes her look like the beginning of the storyStop mourning her.Borrow her conviction.Build from here.

“One of the greatest cures for despair and depression is to do something, and to do something with the people who care,” says Rebecca Solnit. In this episode, Kelly talks with Rebecca about hope, backlash, political memory, and why history can help us understand our own power. Their conversation explores feminism, climate grief, authoritarianism, misogyny, interdependence, and why the right's push to roll back hard-won freedoms is also a reaction to how much movements have already changed the world.

Air Peace CEO ALLEN ONYEMA breaks down the BRUTAL REALITIES of building West Africa's largest ai in an actively hostile business environment. Originally driven by a philanthropic mission to solve massive UNEMPLOYMENT in southeast Nigeria, Onyema details how his NAIVETY about the "1,000 jobs per Boeing 737" myth threw him into a ruthless aviation sector.Beyond the economics, Mr Onyema exposes the systemic challenges of operating in Nigeria, from regulatory hurdles to cutthroat INTERNAL SABOTAGE. In a STRIKING REVELATION, the man who built an aviation empire opens up about his own profound FEAR OF FLYING—a paradox that underscores the sheer willpower required to maintain his $100M+ vision. He tells me about the true cost of aviation job creation, how to navigate hostile emerging markets, and the psychology of leading an industry you are fundamentally afraid of.01.28 His quest was to Create Jobs: "I was Naive"02.17 The Paradox: An Airline CEO Terrified of Flying06.41.

Naiveté is one of the most powerful assets an entrepreneur can have. In fact, I think some of the most meaningful things in the world only exist because someone was naive enough to try. Daniel Lubetzky would know. In a crowded category and cutthroat industry, Daniel dared to build a company called KIND. He started with a simple question: how can we help people snack healthily without compromising their values? KIND Bars are now a household name and Daniel achieved his dream of building the culture behind the brand. A culture rooted in trust, long-term thinking, and social good. Essentially, a place where people loved to work and a company that thrived as a result. In this conversation, Daniel and I explore why entrepreneurship is less about ego and more about problem-solving, why brands are promises that must be kept, and how thinking in the short-term erodes trust in both business and society. Daniel's story doesn't stop at the wildly successful business he founded. The son of a Holocaust survivor, he grew up with a deep sense of responsibility to prevent hatred and division from taking root again. That calling first led him to create PeaceWorks, bringing people together through commerce, and now fuels his work with the Builders Movement. Builders is an effort to channel curiosity, compassion, and courage to reduce polarization and rebuild trust… together. Some important context, because this episode touches on peace building and polarization, is that it was recorded back in December 2025 and before recent developments in the Middle East. But this episode is about how kindness can be a competitive advantage, how optimism can be strategic, and how each of us has a role to play in building a future that's more connected than divided. This… is A Bit of Optimism. --------------------------- If you want to learn more about the Daniel's work with The Builders Movement, head to: https://buildersmovement.org Check out the products and work being done at KIND: https://www.kindsnacks.com ---------------------------

When the main oncology hospital in Kharkiv was bombed, patients started dying — not from the bombs, but from losing access to their chemotherapy. Ross Skobronski, a Spanish-Ukrainian mathematician who had come to Kharkiv to visit family just one month before the full-scale invasion, watched and waited for someone to respond. No one did. So he did it himself.Today, Mission Kharkiv serves more than 3,200 oncology patients with full treatment courses across Ukraine, operating a cold chain logistics system out of a bunker four metres underground. Ross and his team of 62 deliver chemotherapy to hospital doors on the day of each patient's session — a level of precision and responsiveness that puts much larger organisations to shame.In this conversation, Ross talks about how he built Mission Kharkiv from scratch, why his mathematical training shaped his problem-solving more than any humanitarian manual could, and what he sees as the fundamental disconnect in how the sector talks about localization. As the chair of the NGO platform's steering committee in Ukraine, he brings a sharp outsider's perspective on the dynamics between international and national NGOs — and why he doesn't believe power will ever be shared voluntarily.In this episode:How a $40 million pharmaceutical donation launched Mission KharkivBuilding cold chain logistics in a city under siegeWhy "naivety" might be the most undervalued quality in humanitarian actionThe gap between localization rhetoric and reality on the groundWhy Ross believes power must be taken, not sharedA proposal for a localization accountability framework with measurable indicatorsWhat it would take to replicate Mission Kharkiv in other countriesGuest: Ross Skobronski, Founder and Director of Mission Kharkiv and Chair of the Steering Committee of the NGO Platform in Ukraine.

March 16, 2026I am sitting in front of a computer that can deliver love letters to billions of addresses across the twenty-four time zones that encircle this watery rock we live upon.I sit and stare and look with wonder at the glittering ocean called Youtube, deeply aware that I know next-to-nothing about it. This gives me a tremendous advantage.It keeps me from doing what everyone else is doing.Naive ignorance becomes nitroglycerin when it is energized by the spirit of adventure. Handled carefully, you can move mountains with it. But if you are reckless, clumsy, or just plain unlucky, that same TNT can blow you into pieces.I looked at myself in the mirror and said, “Let's go exploring.”Mirror-me thought it sounded like fun, so he passed through the glass to join me on my side of the mirror.Energized by the spirit of adventure, I launched @GreatWritersSeries on Youtube and Mirror-Me launched @TribalGospel.On Feb 12, 2026, GreatWritersSeries had 480 views and a few dozen subscribers.On March 12, 2026, it had accumulated 5,146,423 total views and 44,684 subscribers.TribalGospel had zero views on Feb 12 to but quickly accumulated 8,299,137 total views and 105,707subscribers by March 12.GreatWriters Series received fresh content once a day.TribalGospel received fresh content at a much faster pace, up to 3 times a day.Indy Beagle has posted some Youtube screenshots in the rabbit hole for you, along with a couple of the most successful videos.I will now answer your questions:Q: “Can you teach me how you did this?”A: Yes, but the information will probably not be useful to you. But if you insist on hearing all of the details, be in the tower at Wizard Academy on May 26-27. I will spend one hour of that two-day class answering the questions of whoever is in that room.Q: “Why has TribalGospel outperformed GreatWritersSeries?A: GreatWritersSeries is carrying water to the ocean. TribalGospel is carrying water to the desert.Q: “What do you mean?”A: GreatWritersSeries is published for people who love literature that was written in the English language. This widely diverse but relatively small group is scattered across the United States, Canada, Australia, Great Britain, and Ireland, with a few additional outliers flung here and there.GreatWritersSeries wants only to tempt people to become lovers of literature, whereas TribalGospel is published for people in every time zone who are thirsty for encouragement and hope.English is not their first language, but they can understand it if they can read along with what they are hearing.Look at the comments @TribalGospel and these things will immediately become apparent to you.A startling number of TribalGospel subscribers are in Iraq, Ukraine, Egypt, India, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and throughout South America. I knew this would be the case, so I leaned into it.Are you beginning to understand why only a spattering of what I have learned during these past 28 days will be useful to you? TribalGospel wants only to make a difference – to lift people up for a moment – so that channel went to where it could most easily encourage the largest number of people.Traditional wisdom would have said that only an idiot would sing flashes of Bible stories and the message of Jesus to nations that are predominantly non-Christian.But I have always been an idiot.Q: Does everyone consider it to be encouragement?A: Of course not. You will notice that about 10 percent of the Youtube comments are rage posts from people who want to tell me why I am wrong.But I ignore those people because have found more than 100,000 people in just 28 days who have clearly said, “Thank you! And will you please send me more of this?”Q: Do you believe this will be sustainable or is it a flash in the pan?A: I have no way of knowing. My suspicion, though, is that TribalGospel will continue to grow, but GreatWritersSeries will ebb and surge like the tide.Q: Why do you think so?A: The world has billions of forgotten people, overlooked people, and many of those people are carrying smart phones. The message of TribalGospel will be very consistent, mostly just variations of an uplifting theme. This causes me to believe that TribalGospel will gain new subscribers faster than it loses old ones.But I do not make that assumption about GreatWritersSeries.A person who subscribed when they heard a Shakespeare song is going to be angry and confused when they hear the gonzo writing of Tom Robbins. To have a stable subscriber base, GreatWritersSeries would have to choose a narrow niche within the already narrow “Lovers of Literature” niche.The hope of GreatWritersSeries is to expose people to a writer that enchants them enough to read a book by that writer. You can think of GreatWritersSeries as a dealer who is giving away samples in the hope of creating new addicts.I apologize for that metaphor, but I couldn't think of a better one.The adventure continues. Snow-capped mountains loom ahead and winter is coming.Roy H. WilliamsMost people believe that business success is the product of talent, hard work, and persistence. But what if success could be analyzed — and improved — using the laws of probability? Kyle Austin Young maintains that most goals can be analyzed and improved by understanding their underlying odds. This is true of whatever you do. Launching a product, raising funds, publishing a book, whatever. Kyle calls his consulting methodology “probability hacking.” It says that the odds of your success are determined by the odds of each of the necessary things going right, multiplied together. Roving reporter Rotbart predicts that the odds are very high that this episode of MondayMorningRadio will improve your company's top line.

Last Friday at McGill Law School, I co-led a luncheon and public discussion with an Islamic Law scholar on Jewish and Islamic Law. What unfolded exceeded my expectations: a serious, animated, and deeply respectful exchange among people eager to understand one another. In this video, I reflect on that event - and on my lifelong effort to bring Jews and Muslims into meaningful conversation. There have been disappointments. There have also been remarkable moments of genuine connection. Some will say this work is naive. I believe it is necessary - now more than ever.

The Founderz Lounge Episode #71 with Don Varady and Steve Bon.Don and Steve are back with another round of Business & Bullsh*t, where real entrepreneurs break down wins, screwups, and what actually moves the needle, without the corporate fluff.At one point, Quiznos had more than 5,000 locations and was one of the fastest-growing franchise brands in the world. A few years later, it was in bankruptcy. This episode digs into how greed, broken incentives, and poor franchise decisions helped collapse a once-dominant brand, and what current and future franchise owners often overlook as a result. Don lays out hard lessons every franchise buyer should understand before signing a deal.The conversation expands into brand recognition becoming a liability, why naive design is gaining traction as consumers push back on overly polished marketing, and how operators get hurt when corporate decisions drag their name through the mud.Along the way, Don and Steve riff on waterbeds somehow making a comeback, Air New Zealand weighing passengers, entitlement in business, and why showing a little gratitude still matters.

Last week while the streets of Minneapolis filled with angry protesters choking on clouds of tear gas and images of ICE agents terrorizing people flooded social media feeds Fox News set its sights on the real danger - radicalized left-wing women.According to the network suburban soccer moms and urban childless cat ladies were pawns for a sophisticated Democratic Party domestic terrorist plot. Naive women were the foot soldiers to sacrifice at the altar of open border policies and foreign criminal syndicates.ICE agents might have weapons, body armor, face masks, tear gas, pepper spray, and the ability to take away a person's liberty plus the backing of a corrupt federal government but un-armed, loud women with shaved heads and protest signs are the real threat.The word ‘women' appeared 194 times in the transcripts last week. The word appeared 72 times in transcripts from Jesse Watters Primetime.Watters was working out his misogynistic baggage as he reduced women to helpless creatures who were tools in a game they didn't understand. Watters is the same Fox News host who constantly whines about his damaged relationship with his mother, tells embarrassing stories about his second wife and pontificates on what he believes is proper masculine behavior.

Marvin Wickware came on to talk about his lecture from the Democracy in Tension summit and his book Loving Through Enmity, and we got into some really beautiful and difficult territory. Marvin's story is powerful - raised by an interracial couple in 1980s Indiana who were treated terribly by churches, converted through evangelical campus ministry, ended up at Union studying with James Cone, and that's where his faith, his values, and his intellectual work all clicked together. We talked about need-based love as an ethical framework, how both democracy and Christianity are aspirational projects that we're always falling short of, and how to navigate the gap between ideals and reality without either abandoning the dream or using it to mask our failures. Marvin shared about being a black theologian in predominantly white mainline spaces, the importance of having people on your side who can tell you you're not crazy, and how to practice love toward enemies without being naive about power and harm. It's the kind of conversation that makes you think differently about what love actually requires of us in this political moment. You can get access to Dr. Wickware's lecture and the entire Democracy in Tension series here. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Join us at Theology Beer Camp, October 8-10, in Kansas City!

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Will Wang from Sanford Burnham Prebys about his work on muscle stem cell repair, regeneration, and aging, exploring spatial-omics and machine learning. We begin our conversation by exploring the traditional concepts of spatial biology and how they have evolved to play a critical role in disease research. Dr. Wang recounts his journey from a young student in a family of academics to becoming a leading figure in regenerative biology, highlighting how his early interests in life sciences, natural problem-solving abilities, and inspirations from mentorship set the stage for his current research trajectory. Throughout the discussion, we uncover key insights on how muscle stem cells transition from a quiescent state to a proliferative state in response to injury and how this dynamic process is governed by the epigenetic landscape and various signalling pathways. Dr. Wang emphasises the impact of external factors—be it microenvironment conditions or metabolic cues—on the fate and function of these stem cells, reflecting on the methodologies used to investigate these processes throughout his career. He shares fascinating findings from his PhD work, where he explored the regulatory role of transcription factors like PAX-7 in muscle stem cell activation, and how subsequent research developed in his postdoc at Stanford further illuminated the relationship between metabolism and histone acetylation. This pivotal work not only demonstrated how metabolic states dictate epigenetic modifications but also offered potential therapeutic insights for muscle degeneration and repair. As we move into more recent projects, Dr. Wang discusses the advances in multiplexed spatial proteomics and the insights garnered from a single-cell spatiotemporal atlas of muscle regeneration, which highlight the cellular heterogeneity in muscle tissue. He describes the use of novel computational tools, including neural networks, to uncover the regulatory mechanisms underlying stem cell function, particularly how prostaglandin signalling informs the regeneration process and how age impacts stem cell efficacy. The episode then wraps up with an engaging dialogue about the future implications of Dr. Wang's work in addressing age-related muscle degradation and broader applications in regenerative medicine.

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Will Wang from Sanford Burnham Prebys about his work on muscle stem cell repair, regeneration, and aging, exploring spatial-omics and machine learning. We begin our conversation by exploring the traditional concepts of spatial biology and how they have evolved to play a critical role in disease research. Dr. Wang recounts his journey from a young student in a family of academics to becoming a leading figure in regenerative biology, highlighting how his early interests in life sciences, natural problem-solving abilities, and inspirations from mentorship set the stage for his current research trajectory. Throughout the discussion, we uncover key insights on how muscle stem cells transition from a quiescent state to a proliferative state in response to injury and how this dynamic process is governed by the epigenetic landscape and various signalling pathways.

When we read of the disciples slowness to properly understand Messiah's words, it would do us well to humbly admit that here we see ourselves. Are you ever found naive and ignorant? Would you even know it if you were? Let's find out!
What's up yall, I'm back to just ramble off lol being naive about something that's right in your face, how come everyone holds everyone up against this “streets” mentality but it's so frowned upon in the same instance, I really just said whatever came to mind, bare with me
In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Catherine Shu, MD, about the use of tepotinib (Tepmetko) in patients with non–small cell lung cancer harboring MET exon 14 skipping mutations. Dr Shu is the Price Family Associate Professor of Medicine and the clinical director of the Thoracic Medical Oncology Service at the Columbia University Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center in New York, New York. In our exclusive interview, Dr Shu discussed updated data from the phase 2 VISION trial (NCT02864992) that investigated tepotinib in this population, the notable efficacy of this agent in treatment-naive patients, and considerations for managing and mitigating the adverse effects associated with this therapy.
Send us a text***UPDATED RECORDING*** In a world overflowing with noise, urgency, and endless distraction, it's easy to forget the medicine that's been with us since childhood: levity, laughter, and face-to-face connection.In this episode, Kris explores why joy is not a luxury, but a form of nourishment — a spiritual technology that reconnects us to each other and to the truth of who we are. Through the lens of “Game Time Unplugged,” she reflects on the power of gathering around a table, sharing belly laughs, and rediscovering real human presence without screens.You'll hear: • Why levity regulates the nervous system • How analog play helps us remember our oneness • The magic of rituals that bring families + neighbors together • Stories of laughter, mischief, and moments that melt stress away
Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson briefed an uneasy B.C. Liberal caucus on the upcoming Ottawa-Alberta agreement on Wednesday. A government source called it a 'good' discussion — but other sources in the meeting say Hodgson used words like 'naive' and 'ideological' to describe their political and environmental concerns. Plus, the presidents of steel and lumber trade groups discuss whether Ottawa's new suite of supports for their industries will be enough for them to survive U.S. tariffs as trade talks remain frozen.
Brian takes the role of FDA and critically appraises the data. Then Tom (CREST) and Jonathan Rosenberg (POTOMAC) defend the data on behalf of each Sponsor. Our expert panel then asks tough questions and votes for or against approval.
Episode 361 of RevolutionZ continues the sequence of episodes culled from the book in process: The Wind Cries Freedom. The episode's title is "Hope Is Not Naive, Cynicism Is Counterproductive, Fight To Win." It opens with a succinct look at our own time's authoritarianism and the information ecosystem that rewards fear and lies over solidarity and truth. It then takes up the oral history by presenting three future revolutionaries who RevolutionZ regulars have already met--Alexandra Voline, Senator Malcolm King, and Andre Goldman--to talk with them about how their movement facilitated hope, redesigned incentives, and made sustained participation both possible and meaningful.Alexandra describes the prevalence of cynicism and how she worked to supportively flip the frame from “people are bad” to “what makes good people act badly.” She describes how schools, workplaces, families, media, and policing reward domination while they punish solidarity—and she shows how RPS worked to have cooperation and solidarity overcome competition and anti-sociality.Senator King traces his path from studying history in college to working on the factory floor, to traversing the Senate. Along the way he explains why to meet people where they are at is not an overused slogan but a method for building real solidarity, even with opponents. He considers his electoral motives and choices and particularly various class interests and pressures that played prominent roles in each.. Andre dives into what made RPS different. He describes how it redefined the calculus of success beyond activists noticing only quick wins or losses to also highlight wider and longer term consequences. He shows how RPS struggled to ensure that its every campaign left participants prepared and eager to go further, and how RPS treated attrition due to internal and interpersonal conflicts and flaws as an obstacle to transcend not dodge. This episode, like others of the same sequence, presents only one chapter among thirty, and though it is therefore only partial, the interviewees do address their feelings, motives, ideas, and practices. They answer Miguel Guevara's questions to address the shift from activist spectacle to activist strategy. They explain why style matters but cannot replace substance. They show how a politics of everyday life—shared power, accountable process, and sincere care—is able to turn moments of opposition that might otherwise fade away into sustained movements. The thread through it all is not solely slogans, or even only worthy values, nor even just details of episodic activist encounters, but informed descriptions of strategic and visionary activity. For them and for so many others, the interviewees report how RPS offered a way past cynicism and despair able to respect both head and heart. They describe the emergence and use of specific thoughts and practices helped to cultivate informed hope, build resistance, and pursue positive desires that lasted. Perhaps you will give these participants a listen. If you do, will this segment of the longer oral history ring plausible for you? Will you find useful insights in its words? That is the episode's hope, and If if it does resonate usefully for you, perhaps you will let others know about the interviewees' stories while you also refine and enrich them with your own insights.Support the show
Naive cynicism makes collaboration feel like competition. In this episode, we unpack the subtle bias that convinces us we're objective while hidden motives drive everyone else, and explore how that thinking slowly erodes trust and teamwork.What happens when you stop seeing your teammates as collaborators and start seeing them as competitors with hidden motives?Ever had a PM question your design and immediately thought, “They just care about their roadmap”? That instinctive thought isn't insight, it's naive cynicism, the quiet bias that makes us assume we're objective while everyone else is playing politics.In this episode, we dig into the research from Lee Ross, Emily Pronin, Justin Krueger, and Thomas Gilovich to uncover how this bias takes root in teams. From design critiques and sprint reviews to roadmap discussions and leadership dynamics, naive cynicism distorts collaboration by replacing curiosity with suspicion.You'll learn how this bias shows up in everyday team interactions and what you can do to stop it. We'll explore how to recognize your own illusion of objectivity, make reasoning visible, and rebuild trust through transparency and generosity. Because collaboration only works when we give each other the benefit of the doubt.Topics:• 01:48 - Recognizing Naive Cynicism in Teams• 03:01 - Understanding the Roots of Naive Cynicism• 04:45 - Impact of Naive Cynicism on Team Dynamics• 07:11 - Strategies to Counter Naive CynicismTo explore more about the Naive Cynicism, don't miss the full article @ cognitioncatalog.com—Thanks for listening!

THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: Today's Fireside is a call to remember the potency of your attention, energy and belief in MORE possibility, wonder, awe, healing and love. That when we choose to believe and act with the belief that what we want to create more of in the world isn't just needed, but POSSIBLE, that's when we create the ripples and change the energetic frequency of the world. You are part of a great whole... playing your instrument just the way that you crave to, activates and churns the orchestra to life. What would happen if we chose to believe that the craving/longing/invitation we see in the lives and businesses we want to create are not only meant for us, but they're meant for the world?! That's how we usher in that new paradigm. It first begins with each of us deciding we ARE powerful and we WILL see love change the world, because it first changed us.---------------------------------------- "A better world isn't naive - it's overdue."
