In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Mark Manson, bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, to talk about suffering, creativity, and what it really takes to find meaningful work. We dive into the paradox of avoiding pain, why some struggles are worth it, and how Mark discovered that writing—not music—was his true calling. We also geek out on content creation, the power of differentiation, and the business of being a creator. Mark opens up about the mistakes he made, the detours he took, and how he found his way back to what he truly loves. If you've ever struggled with burnout, self-doubt, or figuring out your path, this conversation is packed with insights that just might change the way you think about success.Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction(00:45) - The paradox of suffering(02:05) - Finding meaningful struggles(06:13) - The “shit sandwich” you don't mind eating(09:30) - Discovering your natural talents(14:25) - When to push through vs. when to quit(18:09) - Mark's journey from music to writing(24:21) - The myth of “finding your passion”(28:47) - Secrets to creating engaging content(33:19) - The power of being a “correct contrarian”(37:14) - Social media as media, not social(42:25) - Business model shifts & the future of online media(48:08) - AI's role in personal development(50:12) - Closing thoughtsCheck out today's guest, Mark Manson:Mark's Website: https://markmanson.net/Mark's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markmansonMark's New Community: https://findmomentum.com/Check out The Futur:Website: https://www.thefutur.com/Courses: https://www.thefutur.com/shopLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-futur/Podcasts: https://thefutur.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefuturishere/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theFuturisHere/Twitter: https://x.com/thefuturishereTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thefuturishereYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/thefuturishereCheck out Chris Do:Website: https://zaap.bio/thechrisdoLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/thechrisdo/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/BizOfDesignInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thechrisdo/Twitter:

A new storytelling event in Grand Rapids called Unfiltered aims to bring people together through the sharing of experiences in and around the city. Similar to the format of The Moth, Unfiltered features folks in and around Grand Rapids sharing stories about first loves, scary job interviews, weird interactions in grocery stores, make-or-break moments of adversity, and more. Storytellers are invited to tell a 12-minute story around a common theme. Raul Alvarez, lead organizer for the event, initially pitched this idea to a group of friends with whom he regularly met for drinks. They were all excited to help plan a storytelling event, he said. “They went to work, and we had no clue what to expect,” Alvarez said. “It was kind of a prototype, but all of a sudden it sold out.” While Alvarez said storytelling might be a bit scary at first, because it involves a certain level of vulnerability, the community hasn't backed down. “Now, we have the second sellout, which tells us it is a movement,” Alvarez said. “We want to keep it going, because there's a lot of stories out there. We already have stories that have been submitted for a future [event].” The next Unfiltered is May 2, 2025 at the Four Star Theater, in Grand Rapids. The theme is “You Can’t Make This S*** Up!” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the perks of my ‘job' is occasionally being offered incredible freebies I can't refuse. My massive sex toy collection is one example, and another is the post I wrote about a sensual massage I received from Colin Richards.After nearly two hours of being massaged and sensually stroked by the country's leading sensual masseur, I felt as though I'd just returned from a week-long holiday (one where I'd been liberally coated in oil). It was divine, and I was eager to catch up with him to hear about his latest venture—a web-based channel for those who enjoy both giving and receiving sensual massage.While it may seem niche, more and more people, especially later in life, are exploring sensual massage as a way to revive their libido, deepen their connection with a partner, and fully embrace pleasure. In the world of massage, however, advertising these services can be tricky, as they often sit somewhere between adult work (even though penetration is typically not involved) and traditional massage.That said, the sensual masseurs I've met take their work very seriously, ensuring that clients' boundaries are respected and that the experience aligns with what the client is seeking.Currently, the networking platform operates as a Telegram chat group called Intimacy Matters. This is described as “the first phase of creating a networking platform to unite sensual massage lovers and general sensualists.”Colin explains: “To qualify to join, you should take great pleasure in giving and receiving erotic intimacy or, ideally, have some experience in sensual massage. You should appreciate intimacy and connection during sex. Empathy, authenticity, and being a good person should form the core of your values.”To get access too the chat group you must complete the Application Form00:00 Introduction to Sensual Massage and Community Building05:58 Creating a Safe Space for Intimacy12:03 Exploring Consent and Boundaries in Sensual Experiences18:11 The Future of Intimacy and Sensuality for Older AdultsYou can find Colin Richards at:Facebook; https://www.facebook.com/IntimacymattersTwitter; https://twitter.com/IntimacyMattersWebsite: https://www.intimacymatters.co.ukColin is a member of The Association of Somatic & Integrative SexologistsThousands of people are finally talking about intimacy, desire and pleasure without shame.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome, dear listeners, to another episode of the Daily Radio Bible. Today is the 28th of January, and I am your host, Hunter. Together, we'll venture through the transformative words of the scriptures, aiming to encounter the life and love of Jesus. Our journey today takes us through Exodus chapters 21 and 22, Psalm 12, and Acts chapter 4. As we open the book of Exodus, we encounter challenging laws and cultural practices that can be hard on our modern ears. However, we place these scriptures in their historical and cultural context while recognizing the fallen human heart from which these laws arose. But fear not, as the new testament passage in Acts shows us a groundbreaking contrast—the emergence of a compassionate, generous, and loving community centered on Christ. Today's Psalms prayer reminds us of God's steadfast presence and rescuing power, while the disciples in Acts exemplify the bold and transformative spirit of living in Christ's love, even in the face of opposition. Together, let's delve into the Word and allow it to shape our lives today. So, get comfortable, open your hearts, and join me in experiencing the profound depth of God's message and the new reality we have in Christ. And remember, as we traverse this spiritual journey, you are loved. Let's begin. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It's hard to make sense of these laws in Exodus. They're hard on the ears. They're hard on our souls. These rules we hear dictating the treatment of slaves and women seem so cruel and barbaric. They're hard to hear. In understanding them, it's important that we try to see them in their historical and cultural context. But maybe even more important is that we see them in the context of the fallen human heart. These hard and confusing laws that are being described here are a result of a fallen human heart living in a fallen world. And God, in many respects, is conceding to this state of affairs through giving us these laws, but only for a while. He will not tolerate this forever, and we should not, as some Christians have in the past, interpret these scriptures in such a way that we say God is okay with slavery. To say that is to misread what the whole Bible is about. To say that is to misunderstand who Jesus himself is. He has come to set humanity free, to break the bonds of our slavery. God is not okay with slavery. Period. He's done something about this. He has given us himself. The promised messiah that Peter so boldly proclaims in this chapter in Acts. Peter is living out of a new heart. He's a part of a growing community. At this point, 5,000 who are waking up to a new reality in Christ. This new community we see in Acts is so different than the one that's being formed in Exodus. In this new community, God is no longer conceding to hard hearts. Instead, he has drawn them into his own heart, into his own life. And out of this place of wholeness and life in God, they are learning to walk in this new reality. As the new people of God, not living out of a place of dominance or superiority or fear or ownership of one another that we see all over in Exodus. Instead, we see a community that is self-giving. It's generous, compassionate, and loving. In Exodus, we see only a shadow, glimpses of the heart of God in these laws that are described. But in Christ, we see the very face of God. His unfiltered and perfect reflection of the nature and the character of God, fully seen, fully known in the Son. You have been invited to wake up. To wake up to the new reality in Christ. Through him, you have been enveloped into the Triune life of God. You are free. You are holy. You are His, and you are loved. This is what's true. This is what is. Ours is to agree with God, to turn from the lies that keep us living like a slave, and begin to live in the truth, in the light, as the daughter that you are, the son that you are. And the prayer of my own heart is that today I'll be fully awake. That I'll live in this new reality that I have been swept up into. And that's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image.

In this episode of Deeper Still, Suanne Camfield interviews Pete Stearns, the lead pastor of St. Mark's Community Church in Burlington, NC. Pete opens the episode by sharing an unexpected way his church got involved with relief efforts for Hurricane Helene, what he's discovered about the joys and challenges of becoming a lead pastor and how he's learned to preach without notes. Suanne & Pete spend the second half of the conversation exploring the concept of sin, reframing its focus from behavior management to understanding it as a sickness form which there is only one cure.
