In this livestream, I explore something many people on the spiritual path are experiencing right now. Spiritual insights are arriving in ways that do not feel linear, organized, or memory based in the usual human sense. Instead, they seem to spiral across timelines, childhood memories, past experiences, soul remembrances, and even contact experiences that surface in sudden waves. In this episode, I share a very personal example of how this has been unfolding for me in the month of November. While traveling in Berlin, I had a series of powerful connections that pulled together childhood memories, present time awareness, and multidimensional insights activated through reading Whitley Strieber's Communion. These experiences wove together threads from my early life, my adult ET encounters, and older layers of consciousness that live deep within the folds of our energetic geometry. If you have been noticing synchronicities, old memories resurfacing, or unexpected connections between different phases of your life, you are not alone. Many people are reporting similar patterns. Our spiritual remembrance is no longer following a start to finish path. It is arriving through spirals, sudden activations, and multidimensional intersections that often reveal healing opportunities, soul memories, and deeper truths about who we are. I hope my experience helps you tune into your own patterns and recognize where your consciousness may be reconnecting pieces of your story that were once dormant. As always, I would love to hear your insights, whether you are watching live or catching the replay.   And do not forget to join us for the Miracle Summit on December 6. It is free to attend, and the lineup is so powerful. You will hear from Rachel Chamness, Amanda Romania, Julie Ryan, Aubrey Nicole, Baba Sam Shelley, Helen Ye Plehn, and many more.

Christine Russo, host and creator of What Just Happened, continues to explore brand marketing strategies that work in a retail everywhere world. Russo selected her guest Jenny Coates to discuss the non linear shape of the customer journey and how marketers can build clarity and connection in an environment defined by fragmented attention and unpredictable discovery.Throughout the conversation, Russo frames the modern customer path as a system without a single entry point. Consumers discover brands through social platforms, micro influencers, video, email, word of mouth and AI driven search, and often arrive through side doors rather than the digital front door. Instead of a predictable funnel, Russo emphasizes that today's journey moves like a pinball machine, with brand touchpoints acting as the paddles, bumpers and signals that keep the customer engaged and moving.The discussion highlights why authenticity and consistency are now the most important tools for marketers. Russo examines how brands must be prepared to meet customers wherever they land, how weak touchpoints break momentum, and how retention depends on keeping customers inside a living ecosystem rather than treating purchase as the end of the relationship. They also explore the tension between the human desire for linear frameworks and the nonlinear reality of modern behavior, and the need to build a structured internal plan that still accommodates nonlinear engagement patterns.The episode reinforces Russo's point of view that discovery, engagement and loyalty are no longer sequential steps. They are continuous loops shaped by content quality, channel readiness and the strength of a brand's experience across every entry point. By breaking down how marketers can operate in this environment, Russo continues to lead conversations that map the new rules of brand building in a retail everywhere world.

In this special episode, NLE student and mom of a non-speaking speller, Daria Kotenko, interviews me about the ideas behind Non Linear Education: why “readiness” is a myth, how to teach anything through interest and tolerance, and what it really means to assume intelligence aggressively. We talk about the Web vs Bridge model of learning, building sensory capacity, and how parents can make education joyful and age-appropriate in just 10–15 minutes a day.

Frank sits down with Graveyard from Distance Nerding to revisit the cult favorite Trick 'r Treat. They unpack the film's comic-book anthology structure, Michael Dougherty's direction, how lighting and practical effects sell the Halloween vibe, and why “respecting the rules” is the movie's secret engine. The conversation widens into horror's ebb-and-flow trends, gateway recommendations, and a peek at Graveyard's current indie film projects. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and guest setup 00:10 First watch reactions and why this pick works 02:03 Two-minute plot challenge and interwoven stories overview 04:10 Rewatch factor and Halloween traditions 06:09 Nonlinear storytelling and comic-book anthology DNA 07:56 Michael Dougherty's vision, pacing, and writing credits 09:17 Warm candlelight, menace, and classic horror lighting tricks 10:04 Practical effects vs CGI, werewolf transforms, and Sam's design 12:11 Should Sam's mask ever come off and why he feels like the watcher 14:14 Favorite character: Principal Steven and the vampire misdirect 15:47 Mr. Kreeg, justice by “the rules,” and that doorbell payoff 18:35 Rhonda, lit pumpkins, and surviving by respecting tradition 19:41 Sam as the embodiment of Halloween and who can “see” him 21:21 Horror in the household and YA horror for younger fans 22:52 Family horror traditions, Halloween and IT 24:01 Horror as a time capsule for taboos and fears 24:40 Vampires vs zombies discourse and trend cycles 26:26 Walking Dead as drama and genre fatigue 27:12 Theme spotlight: respect the past and know the why behind traditions 28:23 From overlooked release to cult classic in a torture-porn era 29:02 New French Extremity, Scream waves, and subgenre swings 30:12 Prestige horror, supernatural return, and James Wan's run 31:20 Great directors who cut their teeth on horror 32:34 Daylight horror shoutout to Midsommar 33:47 What to watch next: Krampus, Creepshow, and hidden gem The Burning 36:16 Distance Nerding's The Build, Conversations in the Void, and Mostly Pod at Night Mostly 40:43 Indie projects: Fairfield County, Night Terrors, a werewolf short, and Decades of Horror 42:46 Wrap and how to connect Key Takeaways Trick 'r Treat works because the anthology threads actively interlock, rewarding attention without feeling like separate shorts. The “rules of Halloween” aren't window dressing. They're story fuel that decide who lives, who dies, and why. Lighting sells the tone shift. Warm, cozy frames flip to dread in an instant. Practical effects age better than quick-hit CGI, especially for werewolves and Sam. The movie's cult rise tracks with broader horror cycles moving from torture-focused trends to craft-first “prestige” horror. Horror often mirrors the fears and taboos of its moment, which is why the genre keeps evolving and resurfacing. Want more in this vein? Krampus keeps Dougherty's dark humor, while Creepshow nails the comic-panel anthology spirit. Quotes “He is the embodiment of Halloween. Sam.” — Graveyard “The nonlinear works great because it feels like a comic book adaptation.” — Graveyard “Respect the traditions of the past. If you don't know them, learn them.” — Graveyard “Walking Dead is a drama that happens to have some zombies on it.” — Graveyard “There are so many shots I'm looking for more than I would in a normal movie.” — Frank Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?

It's part 2 of our dive into the Insect Apocalypse, with our good friend Dr. Jason Dombroskie from the Cornell University Insect Collection!In this part, Jason fills us in on the drivers of the Insect Apocalypse and - most importantly - what we can do about it.This episode was recorded on August 21, 2025 at Rattlesnake Hill Wildlife Management Area in Dalton, NY.. Episode NotesDuring the episode, we made the claim that 40 million acres of the US is lawn, and that that area is equal to all of the country's National Parks put together. True? Well, sort of. The claim that the U.S. has about 40 million acres of lawn—roughly equal to all our national parks combined—is only partly true. A NASA-funded study led by Cristina Milesi estimated that turfgrass covers about 128,000 km² (≈31 million acres) of the continental U.S., making it the largest irrigated “crop” in the country (Milesi et al., Environmental Management, 2005; NASA Earth Observatory). Later analyses and popular summaries often round that up to ≈40 million acres (e.g., Scienceline, 2011; LawnStarter, 2023). By comparison, the total land area of all officially designated U.S. National Parks is about 52.4 million acres, while the entire National Park System—which also includes monuments, preserves, and historic sites—covers about 85 million acres (National Park Service, 2024). So while lawns and parks occupy areas of similar magnitude, lawns do not actually equal or exceed the combined area of the national parks. Is it better to mulch leaves on your lawn or leave them be? Here's what we found: It's generally best to mulch your leaves with a mower rather than rake or remove them. Research from Michigan State University found that mowing leaves into small pieces allows them to decompose quickly, returning nutrients to the soil and reducing weeds like dandelions and crabgrass (MSU Extension, “Don't rake leaves — mulch them into your lawn”, 2012). Cornell University studies similarly show that mulched leaves improve soil structure, moisture retention, and microbial activity (Cornell Cooperative Extension, “Leaf Mulching: A Sustainable Alternative”, 2019). However, in garden beds, wooded edges, or under shrubs, it's often better to leave leaves whole, since they provide winter habitat for butterflies, bees, and other invertebrates that overwinter in leaf litter (National Wildlife Federation, “Leave the Leaves for Wildlife”, 2020). The ideal approach is a mix: mow-mulch leaves on grassy areas for turf health and leave them intact where they naturally fall to support biodiversity and soil ecology.

World-renowned global thinker Jamais Cascio returns to our podcast with groundbreaking insights on the chaotic state of global affairs. Bucking the traditional VUCA framework, Jamais introduces the BANI framework—brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and incomprehensible—to better reflect the unpredictable challenges of our current world. This discussion gains urgency as we explore how events like climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic fit into this new paradigm, emphasizing the need for innovative ways to understand and navigate our tumultuous times. Together with Angela F. Williams, Jamais co-authored "Navigating the Age of Chaos: A Sense-Making Guide to a BANI World That Doesn't Make Sense," offering listeners strategies to cultivate resilience in this chaotic world. Introducing the concept of Positive BANI—bendability, attentiveness, neuroflexibility, and interconnectedness—they underscore the power of empathy, improvisation, and inclusivity as essential tools for individuals and organizations. These elements, while not a magic bullet, are pivotal in coping with ongoing chaos and achieving a balance between personal well-being and systemic change. One of Foreign Policy's Top 100 Global Thinkers, Jamais Cascio explores our environment, technology, and culture to build plausible future scenarios. As a Distinguished Fellow at Institute for the Future, he created the BANI framework for understanding global chaos, now in use worldwide. He works, writes, and speaks around the world on issues facing the global future. In this episode, you'll hear about: Introduction of the BANI framework by Jamais Cascio as an evolution from the VUCA framework, addressing the chaotic nature of modern global affairs. Exploration of "Positive BANI" with a focus on bendability, attentiveness, neuroflexibility, and interconnectedness as tools for resilience. Discussion on the implications of artificial intelligence and the sustainability of the current attention-driven economic model. Examination of the future of work and the role of AI in reshaping identity and purpose in a world with reduced need for human labor. Emphasis on empathy, improvisation, and inclusivity as vital for navigating the chaos and achieving balance. Vision for a future where technology reduces survival burdens, enabling pursuit of fulfilling activities, while addressing current urgent challenges like climate change.

Are you creating your law firm's future intentionally? Every firm owner faces the challenge of turning vision into reality. The real work comes in bridging the gap between your goals and the daily actions that make them happen. Too often, firms get stuck in the chaos of day-to-day operations, leaving their bigger goals on the back burner.   In this episode, Melissa breaks down how Velocity Work's Aim, Plan, Honor framework aligns with Dr. Benjamin Hardy's proven approach to scaling. After working with hundreds of private practice owners, Melissa has learned what truly drives growth: clarity about your future, a deliberate plan to get there, and the discipline to follow through. By the end of the episode, you'll have a concrete framework to transform your firm from a job you work into a business you lead.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.velocitywork.com/326   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@velocitywork

Most law firm owners think scaling means working harder, hiring more people, or pushing through the chaos—but why does growth still feel unsustainable? They're pouring energy into complex systems, tolerating mediocrity, and wondering why progress is so slow. The truth is, they're making the same three fundamental mistakes that quietly sabotage their ability to scale.   In this second part of the series, based on The Science of Scaling by Dr. Benjamin Hardy, Melissa breaks down exactly what those mistakes are and how they show up in your firm. From avoiding goal setting altogether to pursuing conflicting priorities, these errors keep you stuck in linear growth patterns. She explains the psychology behind why your brain needs clear goals, what happens when you aim too low, and why having multiple competing objectives guarantees you won't scale.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.velocitywork.com/325   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@velocitywork

Are you ready to scale your law firm strategically? In this episode, Melissa kicks off a short series based on Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book The Science of Scaling. After attending Dr. Hardy's workshop, she was inspired by his fresh take on scaling and his focus on building capacity for the future. Unlike the typical "hype" around scaling, his approach emphasizes intentional, strategic moves that help law firm owners transform their businesses in a sustainable way.   Melissa discusses the real meaning of scaling: increasing results without a proportional increase in effort. She explains why law firm owners often optimize things that shouldn't even exist and the difference between linear growth and strategic scaling. By following Hardy's framework, you'll learn how to make better decisions, avoid common pitfalls, and scale your firm with intention—without unnecessary stress and burnout.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.velocitywork.com/324   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@velocitywork

The world of work is changing.The days of a single, upward linear path within a company or industry is fading away.What's left is a non-linear career with lateral moves, industry changes, downward moves for greater fulfillment, learning new skills and frequent transitions.This new style of career path comes with its own set of challenges and opportunities.In this episode of the Aligned Achiever Podcast, I'm sharing the role of AI and technological change in the world of non-linear careers, my own non-linear career journey from real-estate all the way into business coaching, and the role of self-mastery, strategy and action when following a non-linear career path.It's time to embrace our skills of adaptability and resilience in the changing career landscape and tap into leaning into roles that fulfill us.

Are you in the messy middle of growth, struggling to scale sustainably, or just craving more freedom without dropping balls? In this episode of The Agency Blueprint, I'm joined by Taylor Frame, co-owner and CRO of Best Practice Media, to discuss everything from systems building and team autonomy to the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. He opens up about what it takes to scale a successful digital agency from launching over 100 e-commerce brands to six-figure months to building a team of 30+ full-time staff. Listen in to learn the importance of time tracking, SOPs, and team delegation for service-based agency owners. You will also learn the importance of surrounding yourself with business-minded peers who understand your struggles. Key Questions: [01:18] How was your journey through Best Practice Media, and how was it different from your first agency? [09:55] What does grit actually look like when the results don't match the effort, and clients still walk away? [17:00] What do you do when you feel like you're in the "swamp" of business, when nothing is going right, and you're getting hit left and right? [22:45] Do you run your agency by the numbers — and if not, how can embracing metrics give you clarity? [32:02] If you could go back to when you were earning $20K/month as a freelancer, what advice would you give yourself?” What You'll Discover: [01:33] How Taylor “accidentally” became an agency owner and why systems and infrastructure are non-negotiable for true growth. [05:03] How self-limiting beliefs around systems can become your ceiling and hold everyone back. [08:03] How to use the 1-3-1 model to train your team to bring you clear problems, multiple solutions, and a recommended decision. [10:20] The mental toughness required to run a service business, even when clients leave despite strong results. [14:22] How separating business success from personal worth can be essential to staying sane and grounded as a founder. [17:36] The mindset and tactical frameworks needed to get you off the trenches of difficulty and stabilize your agency. [20:58] The importance of building a culture of systems to protect your team's bandwidth and prevent burnout. [23:11] The three sets of numbers Best Practice Media uses: P&L for fiscal health, client health scores, and team bandwidth tracking. [28:15] How to define success from the client's perspective to stay aligned and measure the right outcomes. [29:50] How Taylor's agency is investing in AI to remove repetitive tasks from the team's plates, enabling them to become strategic thinkers.

I'm joined once again by Dr. Ken Yeager for an honest and insightful conversation about healing from trauma. And why it's so much more than just “moving on.” As a journalist and trauma survivor myself, I know firsthand how deeply these experiences can affect both our bodies and our minds.In this episode, Dr. Yeager and I dig into the science behind trauma and stress, exploring how unresolved pain and constant fight-or-flight responses can show up as physical symptoms—everything from gut issues to memory lapses. We talk about the myth of the “quick fix,” and the importance of understanding how nutrition, nervous system regulation, and holistic wellness all play a part in true healing.I open up about my own healing journey, including what it's taken for me to unravel old patterns, the obstacles I've faced, and the ways I've learned to ask for help. Dr. Yeager helps map out what recovery really looks like. Highlighting why it's a team effort, why vulnerability matters, and how patience and compassion are essential.If you or someone you care about is living with the aftermath of trauma, I hope our conversation offers guidance, encouragement, and real hope. You are not alone, and there is a path forward—one step, one day at a time.Some important takeaways I wanted to share:Healing is Holistic: Trauma has a real, measurable impact on physical health, including inflammation, chronic illness, and even memory loss. Addressing trauma requires looking at emotional, nutritional, physical, and environmental factors, not just quick fixes or medications.The Recovery Journey is Nonlinear—but Mapped: True healing isn't instant. Dr. Yeager shared a roadmap of about 18-24 months, with stages of crashing, building hope, setbacks, and ultimately acceptance and growth. Understanding this timeline can help set compassionate expectations for ourselves and others.Self-Awareness is the Foundation: Early warning signs of stress and trauma (jaw clenching, sleep disturbance, emotional numbing) are our body's way of communicating. Being honest with yourself and willing to ask for help opens the door to real, lasting change.Moments00:00 Stress, Inflammation, and Health Risks04:04 Visualizing Emotional Impact on Body09:12 "Balancing Holistic and Western Medicine"10:45 Balancing Health and Medication16:39 Aging, Trauma, and Cognitive Decline20:05 Neurotransmitter Activity in Hyper-vigilance22:45 Understanding Memory Gaps and Trauma24:51 Intentional Healing Through Determination27:31 "Challenges of Executive Dysfunction"31:45 Recovery Challenges: 120-180 Days36:57 Understanding Neurodivergence and Addiction Struggles40:05 Empowerment Through Understanding and SupportSpirit of EQ We hope you enjoy the podcast.

In this episode, we break down why Reservoir Dogs is one of Quentin Tarantino's greatest storytelling achievements. We dive deep into how the non-linear structure amplifies tension, builds mystery, and reveals character dynamics in unexpected ways. We also explore the hidden depth of each character and how the script uses subtext, silence, and brutal honesty to drive the story forward.

An episode that doesn't assume the “big picture” first!In Episode 133 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, we begin from the ground up on our journey through the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture as we start with Pillar 1— Bottom-Up Processing. Here's what defines this cultural trait:* Detail-first thinking: Autistic minds gather information from the ground up, building meaning through sensory input, observed patterns, and logical systems.* Monotropism: We deep-dive into specific interests and tasks, driven by focused curiosity rather than generalized frameworks.* Hyperfocus and complex analysis: These traits allow for immersive attention, precise deduction, and strategic decision-making.* Sensory integration: Proprioception and interoception inform our responses to emotional and social cues with accuracy and nuance.* Nonlinear social fluency: We understand people by noticing behaviors, not by relying on social templates or stereotypes.* SPIN-powered cognition: Special interests are not distractions — they are the engines of learning and innovation.* Autonomy in method: We prefer to figure things out ourselves and follow processes that make logical sense, even when unconventional.* Strategic solitude: Alone time isn't loneliness — it's essential cognitive processing time for autistic thinkers.* Injustice sensitivity: Bottom-up logic often clashes with top-down authority, particularly when systems are unfair or inconsistent.* Visionary pattern recognition: Autistic culture leads in science, logic, and systems design because we see the overlooked details that make up the whole.Autistic people, generally speaking, process information bottom-up. We start with details, anomalies, inconsistencies. We don't assume the “big picture” first—we build it ourselves. This cognitive style clashes in top-down cultures, but fits more comfortably in bottom-up ones. In bottom-up cultures, autistic cognition can be framed as insight. In top-down cultures, it is often framed as insubordination or incompetence.What you're about to hear is a special remastered version of an earlier episode from our archives that keys in on Pillar 1 with a deep dive on another fictional bottom-up processor, the OG, Sherlock Holmes.As you listen to this episode, notice references to bottom-up processing and how that pillar holds up other aspects of Autistic people, for instance, why it makes stimming so important, or small talk so infuriating. Start thinking of the ways these pillars have been weaponized and medicalized. How even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle turns Sherlock into a misanthrope, or Sherlock himself becomes an opium addict, because of the pathologization of his natural culture. As you listen and pay attention to that bottom-up pillar with deeper context, I want you to think of how your internalized ableism has caused you to push back on your own bottom-up processing and instead try seeing where you can lean into it and how that might improve your mental health.So, whether you're autistic, exploring the possibility, or just someone who loves and respects autistic people, you are welcome here.We're saving you a seat!This episode is a part of our Start Here Series, which is designed for new listeners of the show who are wondering, “where should I start?” to have a solid foundation for their experience here. It's also for loyal listeners to begin to more fully embody the pillars of Autistic culture with more clarity and pride.

Jen shares she is 43 years old, a wife, mother to a 19-year-old and a 7-year-old first grader, the youngest of three sisters, and a special education teacher. She identifies as a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser.[4:07] Jen describes being a ‘surprise' child, with sisters 8 and 13 years older, and growing up in a house built for two children. She recalls her parents' backgrounds, family traditions, and the impact of being the youngest and unplanned. Jen reflects on the recurring family narrative of her being a surprise, how it was discussed publicly, and how she internalized this story, realizing its impact only in adulthood. Jen describes predictable family meals, with her father being present and supportive, and her mother always preparing meals. Jen talks about her father finishing leftover food to avoid conflict, highlighting family dynamics around food and emotional safety.[46:39] Jen describes initial isolation and academic focus during the first quarters of college, experiencing loneliness. Her turning point came when her roommate encouraged her to join a sorority, which led to increased confidence and a sense of belonging. Jen realized that many peers in the sorority share similar body image struggles, which helped her feel less alone and more confident.[58:53] Jen describes a period of self-discovery and reinvention during and after college, emphasizing the importance of social connections, leadership opportunities, and overcoming social anxiety. Jen met her husband through a persistent colleague, married after a few years of dating, and navigated the challenges of blending families and moving homes. Jen experienced a ‘geriatric pregnancy' at age 36, lost weight due to focusing on her child's well-being.[1:03:27] Jen discusses the significant stress from her father's pancreatic cancer diagnosis, his death, and a miscarriage, all compounded by the pandemic. Jen talks about reverting to food for comfort and loss, leading to substantial weight gain. Jen sought out supportive doctors, eventually connecting with Dr. Susan Caldwell who recommended the OOTC podcast. Jen credits this as a turning point, leading to self-reflection and engagement with a supportive community.[1:12:52] Jen emphasizes the necessity of group support, aftercare, and the ongoing connection with others who understand her experience. Lisa and Jen discuss that healing has no finish line, is messy, and requires ongoing acceptance and adaptation. Jen talks about initially resisting group programs but found it essential for connection and healing, noting the value of support from others. Jen encourages listeners to overcome hesitation and invest in their own healing, stating the process is life-changing and worth the investment. *The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠Reclaiming Peace With Food Retreat at the Omega Institute - September 7-12, 2025
