Podcasts about nice place

Are you an armchair creative? You are great at learning, preparing, and researching a field, yet something often stops you from taking action. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, we consider some things that stop us from acting and explore how to get out of the armchair in 2025. Armchair Certainty "What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?” is a common question in coaching. While intended to free us from debilitating fear, it misses an important point. Knowing we can't fail leaves us feeling hollow. In The Twilight Zone episode “A Nice Place to Visit,” freshly deceased Rocky Valentine thinks he's in Heaven because he wins every bet and has every desire met. After a while, he tells his host, Pip that he doesn't belong in Heaven and wants to go to the other place. "Whatever gave you the idea that this is Heaven?" Pip responds. This is a depiction of Hell being an eternity without the possibility of failure. “What would you do if you knew you COULD fail?” I like this reframe because it accepts failure as a natural, even necessary, part of a meaningful life. Certainty, while comforting, stifles creativity because it deprives us of the friction required for meaningful action. Creativity In The Armchair As armchair experts, we might have accumulated lots of knowledge. We may have devoured books, taken courses, and watched hours of footage. But this knowledge is an arms-length understanding and doesn't give us the sensory or practical knowledge that can only come through stepping into the arena. In creativity, this can manifest as over-preparation: planning every detail, waiting for the “perfect” idea, or endlessly theorising without taking the leap. This intellectualisation offers a false sense of progress. As Mark Manson put it, “People get hooked on endlessly intellectualising their emotional patterns as a way to avoid doing anything about them.” Similarly, intellectualising creativity can mask avoidance. Deep growth begins when we leave the armchair and step into the arena, embracing the messy, unpredictable nature of creating. Action Breeds Clarity Songwriter Aaron Espe captures this beautifully: “The best way to have more happy accidents is to do more things. Simply thinking about doing things doesn't produce happy accidents. You gotta take action.” Whether it's songwriting, swimming, or starting a business, the act of doing reveals insights that theory cannot. The Paralysis of Armchair Analysis Overthinking often disguises itself as preparation. We might tell ourselves we're “just being thorough,” but in reality, we're avoiding vulnerability. The fear of failure, judgment, or even our inner critic can keep us stuck. One of my favourite expressions from Haven meetings in recent years is, "Playing is preparing." Creativity isn't about perfect execution; it's about feeling, practice, and exploration. We can do this in low-stakes ways. Happy accidents happen when we engage with the task before us, not when we think about engaging with it. It's impossible to think our way to a happy accident. The Courage to Be Misunderstood A typical creative block is the fear of being misunderstood. We worry our work will be misinterpreted, criticised, or fail to resonate. But this fear can suffocate creativity. As Brené Brown reminds us, true courage lies in stepping into the arena, risking failure, and embracing imperfection. One way to develop this courage is to experiment with letting ambiguity be ambiguous. It's in those gaps that the light gets in. Art that heals does so, not because it intends to but because it is free to land in a billion different ways. Embracing the Messy Joy of Creativity So, as we step into 2025, consider this our invitation to be intentional about our place in the armchair. If this feels alive for you right now, consider booking a “Pick The Lock” call with me. We can explore how to turn your creative urges into actionable, manageable,

This week, we're taking a look at the Twilight Zone episode "A Nice Place to Visit." It's quite a classic Twilight Zone episode with one of the more commonly memorable twist endings. It's the story about a man named Rocky Valentine, a guide named Mr. Pip, and a certain place that will remain mysterious for the time being. We'll discuss what it is about this place that makes it so perfect for Rocky Valentine; we'll talk a bit about beauty standards and the need for the unideal; and I'll reveal my moment of awe. So, grab your keys, and let's unlock this door to the fifth dimension. As always, spoiler alert. If you have note seen the episode, go check it out and then come back here for the analysis. We're walking through Rod Serling's class Twilight Zone series and asking difficult questions about life. So, if you love The Twilight Zone, science fiction, or even just philosophizing about life, consider joining us on this journey. There's always room for more.

In Philippians, Paul tells his readers that he has found the secret to contentment. But what is that lasting contentment built on? Does it come from having his every desire fulfilled, or is there a deeper mystery he is inviting is readers to discover?

Cuán – that is the most perfect town in the world to live in. Never heard of it? Well it is the anonymised Irish town that Daniel Miller, professor of anthropology from University College London, relocated to for 16 months. Daniel Miller joined Kieran to discuss.We have a hunch what town ‘Cuán' might be and have assembled a panel of Cuán-siders to tell us what they love about their town. Skerries locals Henry McKean Newstalk's Own and Margot Fox, Mental Health and Wellbeing Coach joined Kieran on the show too...

 A successful economy is built on many things: education, natural resources, infrastructure, and government policies. But it also thrives on confidence and there are fears that the disgraceful scenes on the streets of Dublin could dent that trust and confidence that this is a nice place to live. To discuss this further was David Broderick the Director of the Small Firms Association.

Auckland University researchers have identified links between more Airbnbs in neighbourhoods and higher crime-rates.  The findings —which use Auckland region census data— show it leads to lower house prices.  It highlights how Airbnbs replace long-term owner occupiers with short term occupants, which can erode the anti-crime capability of the community.  Higher density neighbourhoods —like those with apartments— are more affected than areas with single family houses.  Nice Place Property Management Director, Keith Powell, told Mike Hosking that it's hard to pinpoint.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A nice small outside theater in Disney World Epcot. I think they purposely don't have really popular artists because of the capacity of the theater. It would be chaos. It's super crowded for semi famous artist so I could imagine if someone like Beyonce performed. They would have to shut half of Disney World down. This theater is made for small crowds.

Furniture is big business and big money - at least if you are the CEO of MillerKnoll.  MillerKnoll makes office furniture, including that famous chair made out black mesh that everyone loves so much.  But sales have been a bit soft lately and the sales team was worried about not making their bonus.  During an all staff Zoom call (beware of those Zoom calls!) the question of bonuses came up and Andi Owen, CEO and passionate believer in equality, reminded her entire staff that there was a $26 million dollar goal to hit and that "you can visit Pity City but you can't live there" (sort of like Disneyland). The staff did not take it so well and the clip of Andi sharing her motivation skills went viral online and then came the apology.  Was Andi Owen right to challenge her team to stop thinking about money and instead think about her money?  Andi gets a pretty sweet bonus if the corporate gods smile upon her, so she may end up apologizing all the way to the bank.

Art of Manliness Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Check Out the Art Of Manliness Episode Page & Show NotesRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgThe Twilight Zone is arguably one of the best and most influential shows in television history.

Friedrich Nietzsche is famous for espousing a philosophy that may be a help in wrestling with existential angst and finding meaning in life.My guest would say that Nietzsche's philosophy may also be useful for figuring out something else: how to have a healthy relationship with modern technology. His name is Nate Anderson and he's the author of In Emergency, Break Glass: What Nietzsche Can Teach Us About Joyful Living in a Tech-Saturated World. Today on the show, Nate, who's a deputy editor at the website Ars Technica, shares how someone who grew up loving technology and has spent his career writing about it, reached a point where he felt disenchanted with its effects on his life, and why he turned to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche for insights on how to approach tech more fruitfully. We then turn to the way tech has made life too safe, easy, and frictionless, and how Nietzschean goals, asceticism, and creative, self-overcoming exertion can help us find deeper fulfillment. Nate unpacks four Nietzsche-inspired guidelines for information consumption, the importance of the physical body in thinking and feeling, and our need to embrace greater Dionysian energy and perhaps live a bit more dangerously.   Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Article: A Primer on Friedrich Nietzsche — His Life and Philosophical StyleAoM Article: Say Yes to Life — An Accessible Primer on Nietzsche's Big IdeasAoM Article: Nietzsche's 66 Best AphorismsAoM Podcast #480: Hiking With NietzscheAoM Article: Solvitur Ambulando — It Is Solved By WalkingAoM Podcast #215: Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction (With Matthew Crawford)AoM Podcast #796: The Life We're Looking ForTwilight Zone episode “A Nice Place to Visit”Connect With Nate AndersonNate on Ars TechnicaListen to the Podcast!

Sean Illing talks with psychologist Paul Bloom about his new book The Sweet Spot, and whether it's necessary to experience suffering in order to live a fulfilling, meaningful life. They discuss the rich philosophical history of the question: what does it mean to be happy? They also talk about why some people are drawn to scary movies, whether or not to plug in to the Matrix, and why a good paradigm for a well-lived life might be found in the example of... a stand-up comedian.

News out of North Korea makes it sound EVEN MORE horrible than it already did!   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We probably each have a wish list. I know I have mine and I wouldn't even venture a guess as to how big it is. There must be more than a million things I want. And I don't just want them. I want them all to be a certain way. Like, I don't just want to go to the beach. I want the temperature of the air and water to be just right. I don't want it to be too crowded because I don't want too much noise. And I certainly don't want mosquitos or greenhead flies. Because after all, being a tasty meal for a bunch of starving insects is no picnic. Anyway, my list of desires is endless. I know I probably sound spoiled, but I'm just being honest. And besides, that's the way the ordinary mind works. It just never stops. I've been practicing meditation, mindfulness and detachment from desire for over fifty years now and personally, I don't see any signs of it letting up.    Now, we all know that as the song says - you can't always get what you want, but can you imagine what it would be like if you actually could? What if you could keep getting everything you want? And not just that, what if it stays that way forever. Sounds like heaven, right? So, let's take a minor little detour here, and let me tell you about a TV show I saw in April of 1960, that went right to the core of my being and has stayed there ever since. I was in fifth grade and this science fiction show called The Twilight Zone had taken the country by storm. It could be incredibly spooky, but the stories often had some deep existential meanings as well.   This particular episode was called “A Nice Place to Visit.” It starts out at night, in a darkened pawn shop. The shop keeper is lying unconscious on the floor and a thief is stuffing jewels into a bag as the narrator says: “Portrait of a man at work, the only work he's ever done, the only work he knows. His name is Henry Valentine, but he calls himself Rocky, because that's the way his life has been - rocky; perilous and uphill, at a dead run all the way. He's tired now, tired of running and tired of wanting. Wanting the breaks that come to others, but never to him, never to Rocky Valentine, a scared, angry little man. He thinks it's all over now, but he's wrong. For Rocky Valentine, it's just the beginning.”   Suddenly a police siren is heard and the thief runs out the back door to a large metal fence behind the property. He starts climbing it and as he nears the top, the police show up. The thief pulls out a gun and shoots at the cops who return fire. The thief falls down from the fence and lying flat on his back, he's dirty, disheveled and seems dead. Then, out of nowhere, an elderly, heavyset man walks over. He has white hair with a white beard and is wearing a white suit. He calls the thief by name a few times and finally wakes him up. The man introduces himself as Pip, and says he is there to help.   Paranoid, Rocky thinks Pip is trying to con him or he may even be a cop. But Pip assures him that he is only there to help. He pulls out a notebook with detailed information about Rocky – his favorite food and drink, his taste in clothes and women and on and on. Rocky is still skeptical but says if he's really there to help, he should give him some money. Pip smiles and gives him 7 one-hundred-dollar bills and says and he can have all the money he wants. Rocky is impressed. Pip then takes him to a luxurious apartment house. They go up to the penthouse floor and over to an apartment door that has Rocky's name on it. When they walk in, Rocky is delighted. The swank palace is exactly what he's longed for all his life. Pip tells Rocky to take a shower and shave. He says that next to the bathroom, there's a large, walk-in closet full of clothes made just for him. A little while later, Rocky comes out, but this is a new Rocky. Clean shaven with slicked back hair and dressed in an expensive handmade suit, he looks like a Hollywood movie star. He says he's hungry and Pip tells him to call room service and order anything he likes. Within moments, a full course meal is brought up. Smiling, Pip encourages him to eat, but his attitude makes Rocky suspicious. Thinking that Pip is trying to poison him, he insists that Pip taste the food first. Pip says he hasn't eaten for centuries and refuses, which infuriates Rocky. He pulls out his gun and fires all six shots into Pip, who just stands there smiling, while the bullets pass through him. Rocky has a sudden epiphany. He says gleefully that he must have died and gone to heaven, and that Pip is his guardian angel. Pip just smiles and says, “It's something like that.”  Rocky can't believe his luck and suddenly his desires explode. “I can have anything I want, right?” he asks. Pip nods. “OK, I want a million bucks in the drawer of that desk over there.” “Open it,” Pip responds. To his delight, Rocky finds a million in cash and his pent-up desires go into high gear. “Alright, I want three gorgeous, stacked chicks who are in love with me and just dying to be with me.” The doorbell immediately rings and three gorgeous women come walking in, looking at Rocky like he's God's gift to the world. Soon Pip takes them all to a casino and everything Rocky touches turns to gold. He hits an enormous jackpot in slots and wins every bet at the roulette table. And with each win, he keeps showering the women with money, making them love him even more. Finally, dizzy from fine champagne and drunk on the high of winning tons of money, they return to the apartment, his new lap of luxury. Rocky takes the three women to the bedroom door, turns to Pip and says, “Okay, Fats, get lost. Now, it's time for me to have some real fun.” The scene shifts to a month later and it's been a month full of days and nights exactly like this. Except something has changed and that something is Rocky's state of mind. Some of the lower elements of his personality, like selfishness, arrogance and meanness have gotten stronger.  And a nagging sense of agitation has started to creep into him. What was once such a thrill is starting to become a bore. He asks if any of his old hoodlum friends are around and Pip explains that this whole world was created just for him and they are the only real people in it. All the rest are just lifelike projections of images that have been taken from his mind. The news only makes things worse for Rocky, so Pip suggests that maybe he should go hold up a bank or rob a store in town. At first, Rocky likes the idea, but he quickly realizes it wouldn't matter because everything would just go his way.  Everything always goes his way. Trying to accommodate him, Pip says he can arrange for some percentage of risk if he'd like, but the idea just makes Rocky angrier. Pip tells him that he has set up a new pool table in the big game room. They walk in and the balls on the table are all racked up. Rocky takes a cue and plays the break shot, and every single ball goes into a pocket. Disgusted, he throws the cue down and storms out. That night Pip takes Rocky and the three ladies to the casino, but now, Rocky hates the place. When he hits the jackpot at the slot machine, he just lets the coins fall on the floor. Same thing with roulette and craps. His winnings mean nothing to him. Finally, when they get back to the apartment, the three women start lavishing him with affection, seductively begging him to take them into the bedroom, but Rocky can't stand them anymore. Screaming, he throws them out of the apartment. He then confronts Pip in the living room and tells him that he is sure that this whole thing is a mistake and he can't stand it any longer. “Somebody must have goofed,” he exclaims.  “If I gotta stay here one more day, I'm gonna go nuts.” He pauses, then earnestly pleads, “Look, I don't belong in heaven, see? I want to go to the other place.” “Heaven? Whatever gave you the idea you were in heaven, Mr. Valentine?” Pip asks. Then ironically he says, “This is the other place.” Rocky suddenly understands where he really is and, in a panic, he tries to open the door to escape, but it's locked. Pip laughs as he struggles helplessly with door knob. Malevolent music starts and the narrator says, “A scared, angry little man who never got a break. Now he has everything he's ever wanted and he's going to have to live with it for eternity – in the Twilight Zone.” Now, this was a perfect example of the genius of the show, because once it was over, it really made you think. You knew from spending a half-hour with Rocky that he was basically a jerk, and you knew that he ended up in hell, which he probably deserved. That all made sense. But whoever thought hell could be like this? In later years, during presentations about consciousness, I've used this show to prompt some deeper discussions. I would ask, “How is it possible that hell could be a place where you always get whatever you want, all the time. That sounds more like heaven. How could it be hell? Generally, people have come up with three basic answers, each one connected to the other.  The first one is that the situation has created incredible boredom for the guy. He always knows what's going to happen, so there is no uncertainty left for him and it ruins everything. Which is funny because in real life, most of us are afraid of uncertainty. But without it, Rocky is condemned to absolute boredom for all eternity, and regardless of the trappings, that sure sounds like hell.      The second answer is that he knows that none of the people there are real, except for Pip, who has become his nemesis. All the others are just make-believe. They might as well be robots. So, essentially, he's alone with himself forever, which given his base character is a real horror show. The last answer is that his life has no challenge to it. Everything is just given to him, requiring no effort on his part at all. He gets whatever he wants without having to do anything. Although this lack of challenge is a problem, it actually points to something deeper. While challenges can be important, its growing from them that counts. Growth is the real prize of the game. And that's the tragedy for Rocky. He will never have any opportunity to grow. Filled with darkly negative thoughts and angry emotions, his awareness will never expand. He'll stagnate in his personal rut and be stuck with who he is forever. My God, what a nightmare! On an even deeper level, many sources from science to spirituality tell us that inner growth is critical to our welfare. We don't just want it, we need it. And this need is intuitive. We each have an innate sense that we can become something far greater than we are. And it doesn't matter how troubling our personal situation is or how many mistakes we might have made, because of our remarkable intelligence, we each have a chance to grow our way out of it. And maybe all we really have to do is choose the high road to begin. Who knows? Maybe that choice opens the difference between heaven and hell… Well, its certainly something to think about, but we've reached the end of this episode. As always, keep your eyes, mind and heart open, and let's get together in the next one.

Midway through the cult-classic black comedy Heathers, a mother lets loose after her teenage daughter bemoans the cruelty and injustice of life. “When teenagers complain that they want to be treated like human beings, it's usually because they are being treated like human beings," she observes, entirely without sympathy.Heathers (1989) is a different kind of teen film - one that goes all in on the darkness and class conflict that are present and yet never fully challenged in the better known work of John Hughes. But despite that darkness, the film manages to present a more hopeful vision for a better tomorrow than those other, more widely-seen films.Heathers is a 1989 American black comedy teen film written by Daniel Waters and directed by Michael Lehmann, in both of their respective film debuts. It stars Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, Shannen Doherty, Lisanne Falk, Kim Walker, and Penelope Milford. The film portrays four teenage girls—three of whom are named Heather—in a clique at an Ohio high school, one of whose lives is disrupted by the arrival of a misanthrope intent on murdering the popular students and staging their deaths as suicides.***If you can, please support the show on Patreon!

Über Gini (© Mona-Lina Promo, Laura): Das ehrliche und kraftvolle Debüt der aufstrebenden Musikerin und TikTokerin ist ein Aufschrei gegen sexistische Normen, Stereotype und Vorurteile. Gleichzeitig ist die Platte aber auch eine Einladung für alle, sich selbst in ihrer wunderbaren Einzigartigkeit zu feiern. Während Gini sich in der Single "Be Around" von ihrer selbstbewussten Seite zeigt und offen über Selbstbestimmung und Emanzipation spricht, lässt sie auf "Leaving You Behind" Verletzlichkeiten zu: Auf dem Song besingt sie das Ende einer toxischen Beziehung und wie schwer es manchmal ist, sich als Betroffene daraus zu lösen. In "Gameboy" wiederum verpackt sie dasThema Beziehungen satirisch und verdeutlicht, dass sie sich nicht in Machtspieleverwickeln lässt - ganz egal, wie niedlich und unterwürfig ihr Aussehen erscheinen mag. "Gini Tonic" liefert außerdem mehrere Soundtracks für den Sommer: so versprühen die Songs "Weekend Mode" und "Nice Place" unendlich gute Laune und warme Vibes. Der Intro-Track "Attention" zieht besonders große Aufmerksamkeit durch spannende RnB-Einflüssen auf sich. Das sagt Gini über ihr Debüt: "Gini Tonic ist für mich eine Art Streifzug durch die Facetten meiner Persönlichkeit. Von emotional, verletzlich bis hin zu erheiternd und satirisch ist alles enthalten. Ich denke, dass ich mit dieser EP nicht nur meine eigenen Themen, sondern auch Themen der Gesellschaft aufgreife. Ich möchte eine Stimme für Menschen, die aus dem Rahmen fallen sein. «Nur wenn wir Grenzen überschreiten, können wir was bewirken» ist das Motto. Wenn man die EP chronologisch durchhört, merkt man, dass sich die Songs von tiefgründig, dramatisch und dunkel zu happy, frech und erfrischend entwickeln. Wie eine kleine Evolution." Die charismatische Sängerin Gini wohnt in Wien, kommt ursprünglich aber aus der Steiermark, wo auch ihr TikTok-Alter Ego "Billie Steirisch" seinen Ursprung findet. Mit feministischer Comedy, politischen Statements und satirischen Inhalten begeistert sie dort mehr als 95.000 Follower*innen. Sei es mit ihren Videos oder Songs - Gini hat immer ein großes Ziel vor Augen: Sie möchte ihren Fans Mut zusprechen, zu sich selbst zu stehen und die Kraft dafür aufzubringen, sich gegen Sexismus und andere Diskriminierungsformen zu wehren - oder ihnen zumindest zeigen, dass sie nicht alleine damit sind. Diese starke Message gelingt ihr mit eingängigen und kraftvollen Popsongs.

From approaches to design and  innovation, to culture, to operating and profit models, companies are built on specific and explicit choices. But what informs those choices? In this episode we discuss decision making and the way bias, cultural context, and foundational ethical alignments influence both individuals and organizations alike, and where design can help imprint a broader human-centered perspective.  

You might know this guest from his work as part of the backing bands for Matt Woods or Stutterin' Jimmy, or you might just know him (as I do) as my dad. Some of my earliest experiences being interested in music were because of my dad's influence, so even though there were a handful of artists who I didn't get to this year, I felt a strong attachment to the idea of closing out this season with him. It's my show, after all. In this episode we discuss my dad's beginnings as a musician, the distinction between "rock n roll" and "rock," and the idea of being unique within the framework of a long-established genre. While there are a couple of takes here that might seem closed-minded, everyone is a product of their time, so just know that in this episode you're going to hear perspectives from someone who came up in the era of rock n roll, blues, bebop, and before there was even such a thing as pop-country. Next year I'm excited to talk to more local musicians of all genres and go outside of Iowa even more. I have some ideas in the way of more well-known independent artists who might be open to talking to me, so please stick with me on this journey. I also want to plug my new Patreon here (www.patreon.com/forestcochran), where I will post new episodes early, bonus podcast content, and stuff from my bands and my production work with other artists. The songs featured in this episode aren't available on streaming platforms, so instead I added my dad's songs "Fox In The Henhouse" and "Moonshine and Chloroform" from last year's Stutterin' Jimmy album to the Featured on...

Tucson, 2007 - pt 2 Remember that TV show from when we were kids? Hey Cowboy! It was on a children's network - cheesy, set in the desert southwest at a real dude ranch. Turns out a short, relatively unmarked hike in the desert will take you to the set. What ever happened to that show anyway?

Every week on The Twilight Zone Zone,we go down Donald Liebenson's list The 26 Episodes We Talk About When We Talk About The Twilight Zone from Vanity Fair, chronologically by release date and compare two episodes and choose which one to recommend. This week we watched “A Nice Place to Visit” and “The After Hours.” This week, there is going to be a Patreon bonus! Regular Jon called in for a special Mission Briefing episode! Sign up for the Patreon for 1967's Casino Royale for the Patreon only! Join us, for all the back catalog, special episodes, and monthly newsletter! There will even be an additional full movie episode this month!  “A Nice Place to Visit” The Twilight Zone also delighted in dicking around characters in need of retribution. Another case in point: Rocky Valentine, a petty criminal shot to death. A jovial guide (Sebastian Cabot) in the afterlife tends to his every desire, giving him a swinging pad, sure-thing bank robberies, and beautiful dolls on demand. Sounds like heaven, right? This was the first episode to employ a classic Twilight Zone trope, in which the come-upper gets the last maniacal laugh at the eternal expense of the come-upped. (See also on this list: “The Grave” and “Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?”) “The After Hours” A.k.a. the “Marsha episode.” Anne Francis stars as a department-store shopper who gets some very off-putting service by a strange clerk when she purchases a thimble on the otherwise-completely empty ninth floor. Her eerie odyssey begins when she complains to management, only to be told that the store has no ninth floor. Locked in overnight, she will come face to face with her reality.
