Join us this week as we sit down with Rebecca Blacker, a successful New York City real estate broker who runs a top-producing, all-women's team focusing on luxury real estate. Rebecca shares the compelling story of her career, which began in her family's real estate business. Her grandfather, a Holocaust survivor, originally founded the company, making real estate a lifelong presence for Rebecca. However, after the birth of her second child, she felt an overwhelming desire for independence—a need to build something her own rather than managing her father's and grandfather's legacy. This bold move was driven by her ambition to be an entrepreneur and a role model for her kids. Although her transition was initially difficult for her family, they are now incredibly supportive of the successful business she has created. Rebecca details the modern, authentic approach she took to launch her solo career, which began with no listings or content. She purposefully created video content on social media, investing in a studio to overcome the initial fear of being on camera. She used this platform to share her life as a mom and a business starter, building a trustworthy brand that allows clients to feel like they know her before they even meet. This strategy successfully led to clients and the eventual expansion into her current five-member, all-women's team. Rebecca now finds immense joy in the mentorship aspect of leadership, loving the collaboration and support the team provides, and celebrating her members' successes even more than her own. She defines an empowered woman as someone who is fearless, sets goals, and pursues them without worrying about the opinions of others.

Seth Godin on Significance, Status, and the Future of Work This episode is a special repost from the archives of The Jess Larsen Show on Innovation & Leadership, featuring legendary author and thinker Seth Godin. Originally recorded around the launch of his book The Song of Significance, this conversation feels even more relevant now than when it was first released. Seth and Jess dig into why the industrial age model of work is breaking down—and what should replace it. They talk about how to build workplaces where people don't just show up, but come alive: doing work that matters, with people they care about, in environments of dignity, agency, and meaning. Seth shares powerful stories about Ray Anderson's carbon-neutral carpet company, Jacqueline Novogratz and Acumen's patient capital, and a $3 pair of eyeglasses that changes someone's entire life. If you're a founder, CEO, fund manager, or leader who cares about more than just the next quarter's numbers, this replay is a roadmap for building companies that race to the top—not the bottom.

Julia and Eliza are back in the stu for a deep dive into hostile architecture, unpacking the spikes, slopes, bars, and billion-dollar "design choices" that quietly shape our cities and public spaces. In analyzing bisected benches, shadeless streets, and the Evil of Robert Moses, the girlies consider what it means to live in a world built to restrict movement and community. Digressions include the sacred magic of knitting tutorials, NYC's food poisoning themed Erewhon, and Eliza staying bricked up.

Nicholas Thompson has long been known for his sharp and inquisitive mind as the former editor and chief of “Wired,” CEO of “The Atlantic,” and a writer who moves fluently between technology, culture, and the human stories that animate both. In his new memoir “The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of Sports” Thompson turns inward exploring the most enduring relationship of all, the one between a parent and a child. The book traces his deepening bond with his son through running, the sport that Thompson has loved his entire life and the way the miles on the road become a space for connection, conversation, and growth.

I sit down once again with Steve Goodner for a heartfelt and practical conversation about the importance of spiritual health. If you heard the first part of our discussion, you'll remember our focus on emotional intelligence, especially in the context of sales and business. We expand that conversation to explore what spiritual health means—and why it's essential for a truly abundant and fulfilled life.Steve shares deeply from his own spiritual journey, making it clear that when we talk about “spiritual health,” it's not about specific religions or rituals, but about nurturing that inner core, regardless of background or beliefs. Using the analogy of a target, Steve explains how our spirit is at the very center of who we are, influencing our emotions, knowledge, behaviors, and ultimately, the outcomes of our lives. He emphasizes that many of the issues we encounter—whether personal or professional—can often only be addressed by attending to our spiritual wellbeing.We also discuss the growing prominence of AI in our lives and why building our spiritual and emotional strengths is more important than ever in an age of rapid technological change. Steve offers insights into the differences between “change” and true “transformation,” sharing practical strategies for personal growth, such as becoming aware of self-limiting habits and intentionally working to rewire our brains.Throughout the conversation, we talk about the benefits of spiritual health, including increased joy, fulfilment, and the ability to set healthy boundaries and priorities. Steve also talks about his new mastermind groups and other resources he's created to help people grow in leadership, sales, and ministry.If you're looking for actionable advice on strengthening your spiritual health and transforming the way you live and lead, you'll find lots of wisdom in today's episode. All of Steve's resources and links are in the show notes—reach out to him for a conversation, it could be your first step towards positive transformation.Moments00:00 "Spiritual Growth and New Book"04:36 Address Emotional Issues Spiritually07:10 AI's Impact on Emotional Growth11:44 Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Fulfillment14:32 Inner Beliefs and Self-Talk17:43 "Rewiring Faith and Self-Perception"23:52 "Developing a Growth Mindset"26:59 Embrace Growth, Reject Limits29:07 Self-Imposed Limits on Opportunities33:40 "Assessing Habits: Productivity vs Counterproductivity"35:30 Powerful Support System Investment40:41 12-Week Mastermind Transformations44:10 Leadership Transformation Ripple Effect46:17 Upcoming Book Launches and ThemesHere are my top 3 takeaways:Spiritual Wellbeing is Foundational: Steve likened our spiritual self to the bullseye at the center of a target, with our emotions, intellect, and actions radiating outward. True transformation starts at the core—addressing the spirit influences everything else.Growth is an Ongoing Journey: Transformation is not a one-time event. Steve stresses the importance of a growth mindset and continuous, inside-out change, emphasizing that self-improvement requires as much commitment as any work project.Practical Steps Matter: Insight is key, but so is action. Steve recommends starting with validated self-assessments and investing in your personal development, just like you would with any big decision—because the ROI on you is always worth it.In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

Today, I can finally share the news I've been bursting to tell you, my very first traditionally published book is here, and I'm giving you all the behind-the-scenes details!  Tiny Tweaks, Happy Life: Simple Changes to Create Space for What Matters releases January 27, 2026, and I'm spilling everything from why I wrote it to who it's for to how a season of overwhelm and exhaustion birthed this “book baby.”  In true SPL fashion, this episode is heartfelt, practical, story-driven, and overflowing with encouragement for the overwhelmed woman who wants to create a simpler, more intentional, happier life one tiny tweak at a time. I share the moment that sparked this entire message, and the deep belief that small changes really can transform your whole year. You'll also hear the wild publishing journey, the rejections, the rewrites, the writing coach, the agent who championed the message, and the long runway that led to this dream finally becoming real.  If you've ever felt stuck, tired, or unsure how to move forward, consider this episode, and this book your permission slip to start small, start now, and finally create space for what matters most. Let's dive in, friend… I've been waiting years to share this with you! Mentioned in This Episode:

“What good is an idol carved by man, or a cast image that deceives you? How foolish to trust in your own creation - a god that can't even talk! What sorrow awaits you who say to wooden idols, ‘Wake up and save us!' To speechless stone images you say, ‘Rise up and teach us!' Can an idol tell you what to do? They may be overlaid with gold and silver, but they are lifeless inside. But the Lord is in his holy Temple. Let all the earth be silent before him.” - Habakkuk 2:18-20The book of Habakkuk is quite unlike any others in the canon of the prophets. Instead of the book being a message that God has given a prophet to share with a nation, Habakkuk is a conversation between Habakkuk and God. The book is structured: “Habakkuk's first complaint”, “The Lord's Reply.” “Habakkuk's second complaint”, “The Lord's Second Reply”, “Habakkuk's Prayer.” The themes in this book are not unlike the themes from other prophet books, but the way in which they are explored is very different and what this book teaches us about how we can approach God and the vantage point God has provides a deep and rich look into the character of God. To help us navigate the book of Habakkuk is Dr. Ken Turner, Professor of Biblical Studies at Toccoa Falls College and author of an in-progress commentary on Habakkuk for Zondervan. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

One of Clay's favorite historians, Joe Ellis, has just published his 14th book, The Great Contradiction: The Tragic Side of the American Founding. His latest volume attempts to make sense of the twin failures of the revolutionary era: the failure to end slavery in the United States and the founders' inability to respect and protect the homelands and sovereignty of Native Americans. How could the founders have been so dedicated to the principles of liberty, equality, and the rights of humankind and permitted themselves to be hypocrites on these fundamental issues? Joe's book is an attempt to chasten some of the wilder claims of the 1619 Project, which argues that America has been a racist and even white supremacist nation from the beginning, and all that talk about the "rights of man" is just self-serving rhetoric. This is not the view of Joe Ellis. This episode was recorded on October 28, 2025.

From redlining to the power of developers in present-day Columbus, we're looking at the evolution of the Arch City.

In Wagging Tongues and Tittle Tattle: Gossip, Rumor, and Reputation in a Small Southern Town (University of Georgia Press, 2025), Dr. Sylvia Hoffert calls on a particularly rich collection of primary sources, including diaries, letters, oral histories, census data, court documents, church records, and psychiatric hospital logs, all relating to Hillsborough, North Carolina, to argue that gossip and rumor were central to the formation of interpersonal relationships and an integral part of small-town life in the antebellum South. They exposed the insecurities and anxieties of the town's inhabitants. Indeed, they served as important weapons in the power struggle between the white slaveholding elite—who tried to exert, maintain, and consolidate their control over community life—and the Black, white, and mixed-race men and women, free and enslaved, who did their best to challenge the socioeconomic status quo. And they exposed fissures in the social fabric that discretion, good manners, and historical amnesia could not obscure. The result was that, on a day-to-day basis, the shady streets of Hillsborough may have seemed peaceful to the casual observer. But underneath all that tranquility, the town was ripe with competition and conflict as the inhabitants used gossip to negotiate relationships with their neighbors and make places for themselves in the social, economic, and political hierarchy of the community.

Erin just published her first book, "Avail," which you can order here: https://www.pauldrybooks.com/products/avail "Avail" features a long prose-poem which titles the book and winds through sections of lineated, often formal poems. The prose-poem comprises a series of lyric meditations on the image of the veil—from religious and cultural veils, to veils imbedded in idiom and metaphor, to veiled women in art and classic films, to veils drawn and parted by illness and death—which slowly divulge the harrowing details of the poet's blood disorder. Throughout, allusions to classic film, literature, and art serve as the "veils" with which the poet attempts to obscure the self-estrangement and vulnerability her illness has induced—insecurities which follow her long after her recovery. In a poem about a break-up set during her career as a jazz singer and against the backdrop of a 1930s screwball comedy, she longs "to shake life by the martini (but stay self- / possessed), to star in the movie of myself / instead of playing second lead." During a visit to Naples, Mt. Vesuvius becomes "a Crawford eyebrow / arched over the bay." And in California, after a trip to the Getty Villa, she recalls Sontag's "missive on allusion, that no part / of any work is new, that all is reproduction." By the end of the collection, O'Luanaigh has fashioned from the sum of these various allusions her own poetic identity, unveiled in the poems themselves.

Zack interviews parishioner and journalist Deborah Roberts about her faith through the lens of her new book, "Sisters Loved and Treasured."

Between King Cotton and Queen Victoria: How Pirates, Smugglers, and Scoundrels Almost Saved the Confederacy (U Georgia Press, 2025) by Dr. Beau Cleland recenters our understanding of the Civil War by framing it as a hemispheric affair, deeply influenced by the actions of a network of private parties and minor officials in the Confederacy and British territory in and around North America. John Wilkes Booth likely would not have been in a position to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, for example, without the logistical support and assistance of the pro-Confederate network in Canada. That network, to which he was personally introduced in Montreal in the fall of 1864, was hosted and facilitated by willing colonials across the hemisphere. Many of its Confederate members arrived in British North America via a long-established transportation and communications network built around British colonies, especially Bermuda and the Bahamas, whose primary purpose was running the blockade. It is difficult to overstate how essential blockade running was for the rebellion's survival, and it would have been impossible without the aid of sympathetic colonials. The operations of this informal, semiprivate network were of enormous consequence for the course of the war and its aftermath, and our understanding of the Civil War is incomplete without a deeper reckoning with the power and potential for chaos of these private networks imbued with the power of a state. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Analyzing dress, costume, and fashion in Puerto Rico, Dress, Fashion, and National Identity in Puerto Rico: Taínos to Beauty Queens (Bloomsbury, 2025) by Dr. José Blanco F. & Raúl J. Vázquez-López utilizes case studies that explore national identity and nation formation as well as past and current practices in Puerto Rican visual culture.As the last Spanish-speaking colony with an ever-growing diaspora, Puerto Rico presents a unique opportunity to study national identity and nation formation through dress and fashion. In Dress, Fashion, and National Identity in Puerto Rico, José Blanco F. and Raúl J. Vázquez-López combine new material and previously published essays that review diverse aspects of visual culture in Puerto Rico.The book is divided into three sections that define and redefine the terms "dress", "costume", and "fashion" through case studies that include the resurgence of native Taíno imagery, the Young Lords' resistance through dress, the iconic Jíbaro peasants, festival and dance costumes, and the fashion of Puerto Rican Miss Universe contestants.

The twentieth century is understood as an era of growing, inexorable secularism, yet in Britain between the 1890s and the 1960s there was a marked turn to Rome. In the first half of the century, Catholicism became an intellectual and spiritual fashion attracting more than half a million converts, including fascinating artists, writers, and thinkers. What drew these men and women to join the church, and what difference did conversion make to them? In Converts: From Oscar Wilde to Muriel Spark, Why So Many Became Catholic in the 20th Century (Yale UP, 2025), Melanie McDonagh examines the lives of these notable converts from the perspective of their faith. For the Decadent circle of Aubrey Beardsley and Oscar Wilde—who converted on his deathbed—artists such as Gwen John and David Jones, the philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe, and novelists including G. K. Chesterton, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and Muriel Spark, Catholicism offered stability in increasingly febrile times. McDonagh explores their lives and influences, the reaction to their conversions, and the priests who initiated them into their faith. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In 1867, Canada was a small country flanking the St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes, but within a few years its claims to sovereignty spanned the continent. With Confederation had come the vaunting ambition to create an empire from sea to sea. How did Canada lay claim to so much land so quickly? Land and the Liberal Project: Canada's Violent Expansion (UBC Press, 2024) by Dr. Éléna Choquette examines the political, legal, and rhetorical tactics deployed by Canadian officialdom in the cause of nation making, from the first articulation of expansionism in the 1857 Gradual Civilization Act to the consolidation of authority over the prairies following the North-West Resistance of 1885. Drawing on numerous archival sources, Dr. Choquette contends that although the dominion purported to favour a gentle absorption of Indigenous lands through constitutionalism, administration, and law, it resorted to police repression and military force in the face of Indigenous resistance. She investigates the liberal concept that underpinned land appropriation and legitimized violence: Indigenous territory and people were to be “improved,” the former by agrarian capitalism, the latter by so-called protection and enforced schooling. By rethinking this tainted approach to building a transcontinental state, Dr. Choquette's clear-eyed exposé of the Canadian expansionist project offers new ways to understand colonization.

Join us for an informative discussion with John De Goey, a professional portfolio manager, published author, and dedicated advocate for financial consumers. John shares his journey into finance, which was fueled by a desire to challenge the "amoral" practices of the financial services industry and protect consumers from misleading information. This advocacy is the foundation of his work and his books, including his latest, Bullshift: How Optimism Bias Threatens Your Finances. We discuss the core problem: both advisors and investors often fall victim to cognitive biases, believing things "for sure that just ain't so". John explains that the industry benefits from keeping clients "bullish," leading people to ignore high debt, expensive markets, and other warning signs. To combat this, he champions Decision Hygiene—the active process of challenging your own assumptions and priors, rather than seeking out information that confirms what you already believe (confirmation bias). He shares why he transitioned to discretionary portfolio management to prevent clients' emotions from derailing sound investment plans, demonstrating that sometimes, letting a fiduciary make unemotional decisions is the best way to secure a client's wealth. An empowered human, John concludes, is simply one who is self-aware and makes choices based on truth, not just self-interest.

Ep. 225 If you've been doubting your growth this year, this episode will open your eyes to just how far you've come and why you deserve to end 2025 proud, grounded, and unapologetically in your power. In this deeply reflective episode of HealingHer Within, host Maryann Rivera-Dannert walks you through 25 things she's truly grateful for in 2025 — and invites you to pause, reflect, and honor how you've evolved this year. From healing her past to holding firm boundaries, expanding her business, stepping into visibility, embracing divine timing, and nurturing herself with intention, Maryann breaks down the inner work, the breakthroughs, and the bold decisions that shaped her year. This episode is not just a gratitude list — it's a blueprint for how to close your year strong, aligned, and fully awake to who you are becoming. Whether you're celebrating wins or navigating hard truths, you'll walk away feeling inspired, grounded, and ready to greet 2026 with clarity and confidence. Key Takeaways Reflection is a power move: You can't grow what you don't track. Maryann emphasizes checking in with your yearly goals before December 31st. Healing is ongoing, not a finish line: Your past is part of your story — not the whole story. Your message is magnetic when it's aligned: The “liberated woman movement” is attracting the right women because Maryann is speaking boldly to her true audience. Boundaries are self-care in action: They're not about others — they're about honoring your peace. Visibility creates opportunity: Stepping into your voice leads to increased impact, income, and influence. Self-nourishment is non-negotiable: You can't pour into others when you're running on empty. Divine timing > forced timing: Peace comes from releasing control. Resilience is a superpower: You are not defined by what happened to you — only by how you rise.

Haman, infamous as the antagonist in the book of Esther, appears as a villainous figure in virtually all varieties of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In this “biography” of Haman (Princeton UP, 2025), Dr. Adam Silverstein traces the evolution of this villainous character from the ancient Near East to modern times, drawing on sources in a variety of languages and from diverse genres. Dr. Silverstein considers the evidence for a historical Haman and analyzes the abundance of material that documents what those who read the Bible and the Qur'ān have thought about him over the past two millennia.With this book, Dr. Silverstein offers an essential and original account of the rich diversity and openness of Abrahamic civilizations throughout history. Taking Haman as a case study, Dr. Silverstein guides the reader through diverse intellectual terrains, covering ancient Near Eastern cultures, pre-Islamic Iranian literature, Abrahamic scriptures and their interpretation, late antiquity, Islamic history, and interfaith relations. He shows how the figure of Haman has both united and divided Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities, who collaborated fruitfully in their efforts to grasp the meaning and significance of their holy books, but who also deployed the “Haman” label polemically against each other. Dr. Silverstein also considers Haman's prebiblical origins, raising the possibility that the book of Esther was receiving and reconfiguring Haman no less than later works were, with Esther's villain taking his place in a long line of reimagined Hamans.Haman: A Biography is the first book-length study to contextualize an Abrahamic character not only within Jewish and Christian traditions but also with reference to the character's prebiblical background and reception in Islamic cultures.
