This week, we dive into one of the most surreal tracks on Even Worse — Weird Al Yankovic's epic fever dream, “Stuck in a Closet with Vanna White.”What starts as a simple recurring nightmare spirals into floating in midair, Russian spies, bowling on the Starship Enterprise… and ultimately being trapped in a closet night after night with America's favorite letter-turner. We unpack the song's claustrophobic anxiety, its surreal dream logic, and the full-force pop culture power of 1980s Vanna-mania.We also explore the musical side: why — absurd subject matter aside — this track genuinely has the bones of a mainstream hit.It's weird. It's anxious. It's ridiculously catchy. And yes… we're buying a vowel.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-d-al-podcast--5439475/support.

A few months ago I finally hit a major milestone...After years of putting it off, I finally started taking golf lessons.Jasper, my coach (or "pro" as they say in the golf world), has been helping me develop a proper swing. But being me, I just can't help but look at Jasper through a service design lens.What is he actually selling me? Or better yet: what am I actually buying?Right now, I pay by the hour. That buys me Jasper's time and a bit of grass to practice on. But what if I didn't pay for the service, which is just time well saved, but rather for the outcome?What if Jasper promised to take me from someone who barely knows how to hold a club to being a confident, competent golfer? Because in the end, that's truly the identity shift I'm actually looking for.Just think about how much that proposition would change the dynamics, not just for me, but for Jasper's entire business model. When that offer is on the table, why would I ever settle for a coach selling me "practice time" (a commodity) when I could invest in the transformation I actually desire?This shift toward "transformations" as an economic offering isn't new.It was already described in the industry defining book The Experience Economy back in 1999.We've been lucky enough to have Joe Pine, the book's co-author, on the Show twice before. Now, he's back.It's been 27 years since he published the book that influenced so many of us, and he has just published the long-awaited follow-up titled, you guessed it, The Transformation Economy.In this episode, we sit down to chat about what this shift means for us as service design professionals and what it means for the future of business. I'm fairly certain this is the very first podcast where Joe discusses the new book, so we've got a true exclusive on our hands.So will this be the next chapter for our field? Listen to the episode to find out!As you listen to the conversation, I'd love for you to think about your own projects. Are you designing for "time well spent," or are you ready to guide your customers through a real identity shift?Enjoy the conversation and keep making a positive impact!Be well,~ Marc--- [ 1.

Sex After 50 doesn't have to decline — in fact, for many people, it gets better. In this episode of Ask a Sex Therapist, Heather is joined by Karen Bigman, a sex and relationship coach specializing in midlife and sex after 50, for an honest, funny, and deeply validating conversation about aging, desire, body changes, and intimacy. They explore why so many couples assume that low libido, painful sex, or loss of desire is just “part of getting older” — and why that belief is often what actually harms a sex life the most. From menopause and perimenopause to body image, shame, communication, and emotional intimacy, this episode reframes sex after 50 as something that can be playful, connected, and deeply satisfying. You'll hear practical insights about: Why sex drive changes with age — and why that doesn't mean sex is overHow menopause, hormones, and vaginal health affect desire and pleasureWhy mental foreplay, laughter, and connection matter more than performanceHow to talk about sex with a partner when it feels awkward or intimidatingLetting go of obligatory sex and rebuilding pleasure without pressure Why kissing, novelty, and communication are essential for long-term intimacy This conversation is especially helpful for: People navigating midlife, perimenopause, or menopauseCouples wondering how to keep sex fun and connected after 50Anyone struggling with desire discrepancy, body confidence, or sexual shamePeople curious about sex and agingPartners who want to better support each other through aging and change If you've ever wondered whether great sex is still possible later in life, this episode offers reassurance, science-backed insight, and permission to stop forcing what doesn't work — and start enjoying what does.

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 15 "Paradise Lost." The bromance between Jack and Colonel Maybourne is back with a vengeance. The queerbaiting is off the charts from the very beginning with the hot dog jokes. Maybourne springs his new plan to avoid being imprisoned and convinces the SGC to authorize a mission to a planet that he claims has a cache of goa'uld weapons. As expected, SG-1 is double crossed but Jack accidentally goes through a portal with Maybourne with no way to get back to the Stargate. Sam, Jonas and Teal'c are back on earth trying to find Jack with the not very helpful assistance of Dr. Bill Lee. There is a touching moment between Sam and Teal'c which acknowledges the loss of Daniel. What did you think of this episode? Join the conversation on our socials.

Jonathan Goodman is one of the most influential thought leaders and entrepreneurs in the fitness industry. After years of building businesses and platforms, Jonathan has now made writing books his primary focus.In this episode, Jonathan joins Andrew Coates to unpack the ideas behind his new book, Unhinged Habits, and to challenge some of the most sacred advice in personal development — especially the overemphasis on consistency and incremental progress.Instead, Jonathan makes the case for seasons of unhinged intensity, intentional rest, and creating contrast in your life — while also explaining where consistency still matters and why most people misunderstand how high performers actually operate.THIS EPISODE COVERS:What is wrong with the classic advice of consistency and incremental improvementThe value of thinking in seasons of intensity and seasons of restHow to make seasons of unhinged intensity actually workWhy contrast matters for growth, creativity, and motivationWhy you cannot meaningfully transform more than one major area at a timeHow to put other priorities into maintenance while focusing on transformationThe value of shortening the delay of gratificationWhere consistency truly mattersThe disconnect between what many authors preach and how they actually liveAnd much moreJonathan's book Unhinged Habits is available now, everywhere you can buy books.Instagram: @itscoachgoodmanCHAPTERS01:41 The Concept of Seasonality and Consistency12:32 The Importance of Iteration and Quick Learning16:34 The Role of Contrast and Novelty in Life23:37 Balancing Intensity and Consistency29:53 The Myth of 1 Percent Better Every Day30:41 Building a New System for Growth31:27 The Concept of New Baselines31:55 A Thought Experiment on Wealth Inequality33:22 Seasonality-Focused Intensity34:07 RP Strength and the RP Hypertrophy App35:30 Consistency vs Intensity37:11 Writing, Creativity, and Intense Sprints46:23 The Tiny Backpack Rule47:11 Rebuilding the Calendar48:00 Fitness-First Thinking52:43 The Ideal Calendar55:34 Conclusion and Call to ActionSUPPORT THE SHOWIf this episode challenged how you think about growth, productivity, or self-improvement, you can support the show by:Subscribing and checking out more episodesSharing it on social media (tag me — I will respond)Sending it to someone stuck trying to “do everything at once”FOLLOW ANDREW COATESInstagram: @andrewcoatesfitnesshttps://www.andrewcoatesfitness.comPARTNERS AND RESOURCESRP Strength App (use code COATESRP)https://www.rpstrength.com/coatesJust Bite Me Meals (use code ANDREWCOATESFITNESS for 10 percent off)https://justbitememeals.com/MacrosFirst – FREE Premium TrialDownload MacrosFirstDuring setup, answer: How did you hear about us?Type: ANDREWKNKG Bags (15 percent off)https://www.knkg.com/Andrew59676Versa Gripps (discount link)https://www.versagripps.com/andrewcoatesTRAINHEROIC – FREE 90 Day Trial (2 steps)Go to: https://www.trainheroic.com/liftfreeReply to the email you receive (or email trials@trainheroic.com) and let them know Andrew sent you

Everybody talks about creativity, but very few are willing to measure it. The real advantage comes from combining imagination with obsession.That's the lesson of MrBeast, the YouTube creator who turned data-driven storytelling into one of the most powerful media brands in the world. In this episode, we explore his marketing playbook with the help of our special guest Rodrigo Fontes, VP of Marketing at QuillBot.Together, we break down what B2B marketers can learn from engineering audience retention, building repeatable content formats, and investing just a little more effort to create work people can't look away from.About our guest, Rodrigo FontesRodrigo Fonte is the VP of Marketing at Quillbot. He is a strategic marketing leader with over 15 years of experience building and scaling brands across both B2C and B2B markets. Rodrigo is currently driving growth in Generative AI and consumer tech at QuillBot (Learneo). He's also leading the global marketing organization behind one of the world's most widely used AI writing assistants, overseeing Brand, Media, Influencers, Social, SEO, ASO, Content, Product Marketing, and International Expansion.What B2B Companies Can Learn From MrBeast:Obsess over audience retention, not just reach. MrBeast doesn't just aim for views, he studies exactly where attention drops and rebuilds content accordingly. Rodrigo says, “His data-driven customer obsession on every detail to make things work, I think that's such an amazing thing for us marketers today to think [about].” B2B teams should move beyond impressions and focus on where prospects lose interest and why. Analyze content the same way you analyze funnels. Retention is the real signal of relevance.Show people something they've never seen before. Originality is MrBeast's core advantage. He doesn't just execute well, he starts with ideas audiences haven't encountered. Rodrigo reminds us, “The fight for attention is brutal today.” If your content looks like your competitors', it's already invisible. Massive budgets aren't required to execute original ideas, as MrBeast proved in his early viral videos. Novelty is a priceless strategic asset.Use culture as a creative multiplier. MrBeast often revamps formats by tapping into existing cultural moments (e.g., Squid Game, Willy Wonka). Rodrigo points out, “He can really revamp a format if he adds culture to [it].” B2B strategy doesn't have to reinvent the wheel.

In this solo episode, Darin dives into one of the most universal modern experiences: the feeling that time is accelerating. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and lived experience, he breaks down why time doesn't actually speed up, but our experience of it radically changes. From the impact of digital distraction and divided attention to the way novelty, memory, aging, and even COVID reshaped our internal sense of time, this episode offers both clarity and agency. Darin shows how reclaiming attention, breaking monotony, and creating richer experiences can give us the feeling of having our time back.     What You'll Learn Why time measured by a clock is different from time experienced by the brain How attention, memory, and emotion construct subjective time Why boredom feels slow while flow states feel fast How novelty creates richer memories and longer-feeling lives The role of routine and monotony in time compression How digital technology fragments attention and erases memory Why social media scrolling makes time disappear without satisfaction How COVID disrupted temporal landmarks and distorted time perception Why time feels faster as we age The neuroscience behind memory density and perceived duration Whether time itself is an illusion or a constructed experience Practical ways to slow down your experience of time How breaking routine restores a sense of fullness and presence Why life is measured in experiences, not seconds     Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the exploration of time 00:00:32 – Sponsor: TheraSage and frequency-based healing 00:02:16 – Why time feels like it's speeding up 00:03:07 – Measured time vs experienced time 00:03:39 – Subjective time and how the brain constructs duration 00:04:38 – Boredom, flow, and why time feels slow or fast 00:05:20 – Memory density and time compression 00:05:42 – Clock models vs attention and memory models 00:06:13 – Novelty, travel, and rich experiences 00:06:34 – Routine, repetition, and unremarkable days 00:07:21 – Divided attention and disappearing moments 00:07:56 – The digital shift and fragmented attention post-2000 00:08:30 – Micro-stimulation and wasted time 00:09:12 – Why scrolling doesn't equal flow 00:09:46 – Social acceleration and modern life 00:10:25 – COVID as a global experiment in time perception 00:10:55 – Loss of temporal landmarks during lockdown 00:11:57 – Sponsor: Caldera Lab and clean skincare 00:13:39 – Research on monotony and time compression 00:14:40 – Aging, fewer neural events, and faster time 00:15:30 – Childhood vs adulthood time perception 00:16:22 – Is time real or constructed? 00:16:57 – Physics, relativity, and subjective experience 00:17:56 – How to slow down your experience of time 00:18:12 – Novelty, adventure, and memory creation 00:19:00 – Sustained attention vs multitasking 00:19:37 – Breaking monotony in daily life 00:20:06 – Reducing digital distraction 00:20:25 – Enjoying life as a scientific practice 00:20:49 – Time as memory, not seconds 00:21:08 – Gaining agency over your experience of life 00:21:29 – Creating a richer year through experience 00:22:10 – Curiosity, adventure, and Darin's fascination with time 00:23:27 – Closing thoughts and call to action     Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Caldera Lab: Experience the clinically proven benefits of Caldera Lab's clean skincare regimen and enjoy 20% off your order by visiting calderalab.com/darin and using code DARIN at checkout.     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More from Darin Olien: Instagram: @darinolien Podcast: SuperLife Podcast Website: superlife.com Book: Fatal Conveniences     Key Takeaway Time isn't speeding up — your brain is compressing it.

Cultures do not collapse because they are evil they collapse because they are exhausted by their own metaphors. And the de-evolving radically regressive wanna be-fascism mixed with idiocracy American hating Trump regime - whether one speaks of the leader whose been a lifelong criminal, the cult, or the psychic weather that produced it, is best understood as the right-wing American Empire in a state of neurological overload.Empire is a kind of hallucination. It's a story a society tells itself about permanence, inevitability, and divine exemption from the laws of nature and real history. America's story of building an empire through slaughtering indigenous people's, has in many ways since been expanded in many bad ways without limit. Novelty channeled into material accumulation. But real novelty belongs to mind and meaning, not to strip malls and derivatives.Oligarchic criminals are not the cause. They are the symptom. They are what happens when the operating system of an empire caters only to the top of the socio economic hierarchy. What we are witnessing is cultural feedback failure. The corpotized institutions no longer metabolize reality. Light spirituality, higher thoughts, the arts, the sciences are all ignored and or degraded, myth replaces reason, and power becomes performative - pure spectacle. This is classic late-empire behavior. Rome did it. Spain did it. Britain did it. They all mistook domination for destiny.These insight sub-episodes are mirrored on our primary YouTube channel which can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@NilesHeckman/videos

Health care executive Dave Wessinger discusses their article "How to adopt AI in health care responsibly." Dave explains why organizations must move beyond the hype of artificial intelligence to focus on measurable goals like driving growth and improving quality. The conversation highlights specific high-value applications in documentation and patient intake while emphasizing the critical need for a clinician in the loop approach to ensure patient safety. By prioritizing administrative automation over clinical decision-making initially, leaders can build trust and avoid the risks associated with imperfect technology. This episode explores how to shape AI as a practical tool that enhances rather than replaces human judgment. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

Deleting social media should've tanked my income…, but instead it helped me skyrocket it.And I'm not saying that to be dramatic, I'm saying it because I didn't realize how much my phone was quietly stealing from me until I took my power back.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down exactly why I deleted social media from my phone, what happened in my brain when I did it, and why it might be the single best “business move” you make all year — even if you're a personal brand, entrepreneur, or someone who “needs” social media to grow.Because here's the truth: social media isn't free. The cost is your attention. And attention is the most valuable currency in the world right now.I realized I wasn't using social media… social media was using me. I'd pick up my phone to text someone and somehow end up watching a dude build a cabin with zero tools for 18 minutes. And even when I told myself it was “research” or “business stuff,” I was mostly consuming instead of creating.And the scary part? It wasn't stealing my time. It was stealing my focus.The typical user spends 2.5–3 hours a day on social media, which is 17+ hours a week. A part-time job… for free. And every time you get interrupted, it can take anywhere from 8 to 25 minutes to fully regain your focus. That's not a small leak. That's an attention hemorrhage.So I made a decision: I deleted every social app off my phone.Not “limited.” Not “time blocked.” Deleted.And yes, I still have social media on desktop. My team still runs the content. But I stopped carrying the slot machine in my pocket. Because that's what it is — Silicon Valley literally models this stuff after Vegas casinos. Novelty, dopamine, addiction, repeat.The first phase was real: the phantom reach. That moment where your hand goes to your phone like a reflex. That “I should check something” feeling. That little hit of FOMO.But then phase two kicked in: calm and presence returned. I felt less anxious. Less compare-and-despair. More patient. More connected with my family. More me.And then phase three hit… and this is where it got wild: deep work came back. Creativity came back. Clarity came back. My brain stopped being a feed… and started being a weapon again.I thought less scrolling would mean less growth.But what actually happened was more creation, better content, cleaner energy, stronger execution, better sales calls, higher conversion… and more money.In fact, within two weeks, we found over six figures in “found revenue” opportunities I'm confident would've been missed if I were still trapped in the scroll.Here are the biggest takeaways I want you to steal from this episode:Social media isn't the enemy — mindless consumption is.Use it like a tool. Don't let it become a cage.Attention beats information.We don't have an information problem. We have an attention problem.Creation builds businesses. Scrolling kills momentum.Consumption feels like work, but creation is the real work.You don't need more discipline — you need better systems.Delete the apps. Set office hours. Use a desktop only. Let your team post and engage.Your peace is a profit strategy.When you're more present, more focused, and more grounded… you win in every area.My challenge to you is simple: go phone-free for 7 days.Delete the apps. Desktop only. One hour max. Track what happens to your mood, your sleep, your relationships, your creativity, and your output.If you want the full breakdown, the mindset shift, the step-by-step process, and the results I've seen already, go listen to the full episode at caryjack.com/podcastin.Less social media. More presence. More money. More life.

What if ADHD isn't a bug in your marriage — but a feature? In this episode of the Get Your Marriage On Podcast, I sit down with Kamden Hainsworth, an ADHD coach and host of the Busy Brained Saint, to unpack how ADHD uniquely impacts desire, intimacy, novelty, rejection sensitivity, and emotional regulation in marriage. Kamden shares her mid-life burn out, late ADHD diagnosis, and how understanding her brain completely transformed her marriage and sex life. Together, they explore why ADHD can amplify desire differences, why boredom feels unbearable in intimacy, how rejection sensitivity dysphoria shows up in sex, and how novelty can be a powerful connector (when done with trust and communication). Whether you're the ADHD partner or married to one, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and practical insight into building a more playful, honest, and deeply connected sexual relationship.

Host Jeremy C. Park interviews Happiness Researcher, Author, Keynote Speaker, and founder and CEO of Nonprofit Leadership LLC, Elle Benson, who shares her research on the science of happiness, emphasizing the importance of novelty, gratitude, and relationships in enhancing well-being. She discusses her approach of incorporating novel experiences into daily life to increase presence and joy, citing her own two-year experiment of engaging in 1,500 new activities. Elle explains how this concept applies to nonprofit leadership, fostering innovation, team-building, and sustainability. She highlights the power of gratitude as a quick route to happiness and the significance of human connections in long-term well-being. The conversation also touches on Elle's work as a keynote speaker and her upcoming book on translating novelty into routine. The conversation concludes with Elle inviting listeners to learn more about her work through her websites, ellebenson.com and nonprofit-leadership.com, and to engage with her nonprofit mastermind groups.

Episode web page: https://bit.ly/3Ys2J9d Episode description:  In this episode of Insights Unlocked, Phillip Jackson, CEO and co-founder of Future Commerce, joins the show to explore how commerce is fundamentally shaped by culture, not just technology. Phillip dives into how leading brands use AI in retail to enhance customer experiences quietly and authentically, why friction in the customer journey isn't always a bad thing, and how brands can stand out in a sea of sameness. Key themes and takeaways Commerce is culture, not just tech. Phillip explains that what we buy and how we buy it are deeply tied to identity and culture. The smartest brands are those who see commerce as part of daily life, not just a transaction. The invisible hand of AI in retail. AI can transform retail experiences, but its best applications are often invisible. Using examples like Taco Bell, Phillip discusses how AI can quietly make things easier and more delightful for customers—without being intrusive. Friction's hidden value. Not all friction is bad. While reducing unnecessary pain is important, Phillip argues that some friction helps customers make better decisions, reduces returns, and actually builds trust. Personalization: meaningful, not just flashy. True personalization goes beyond using someone's name. Phillip suggests it's about understanding intent and context, and that surface-level personalization often falls flat or feels invasive. Standing out from e-commerce sameness. E-commerce platforms have made shopping easier, but also more homogenous. Phillip shares research showing that when branding is stripped away, many sites are indistinguishable—and that differentiation is key to long-term loyalty. Clean data is your AI superpower. Brands that want to unlock the full power of AI need holistic, clean data. Phillip shares how brands like Kith leverage years of clean purchase data to launch ambitious customer programs. Invest in what matters. Rather than chasing every trend, Phillip encourages brands to focus on practical, high-value areas—like smarter search, better recommendations, and strong post-purchase support—that truly solve customer pain points.

Homily: The Sunday after Theophany Hebrews 13:7–16; Matthew 4:12–17 This homily explores repentance as the doorway from darkness into light, and from spiritual novelty into mature faithfulness. Rooted in Hebrews and the Gospel proclamation after Theophany, it calls Christians to become not sparks of passing enthusiasm, but enduring flames shaped by grace, sacrifice, and hope in the coming Kingdom. ---- Today's Scripture readings give us three interrelated truths—three movements in the life of salvation and theosis. First: darkness and light. Second: repentance as the way from darkness into light. Third: what children of the light actually do once they have been illumined.  Point One: Darkness and Light In today's Gospel, St Matthew quotes the prophet Isaiah: "The people who sat in darkness saw a great light; and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light has dawned." This is not merely a poetic description of history. It is a diagnosis of the human heart. Scripture teaches us that our calling as human beings—our calling as Christians—is to become "children of the light and children of the day." Light is not something we admire from a distance. It is something we are meant to live in, to be shaped by, and to reflect. Darkness, in Scripture, is not simply ignorance. It is disorder. It is the twisting of desire. It is the heart turned inward on itself. And Christ comes—not merely to expose darkness—but to heal us of it. That is why today's epistle begins by reminding us: "Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God; consider the outcome of their life, and imitate their faith." (Hebrews 13:7) Light becomes visible in lives that endure. The Christian life is not meant to flash briefly and disappear. God desires something steadier—not sparks, but flames. Point Two: Repentance — Leaving the Darkness Immediately after this proclamation of light, Christ begins His preaching with a single command: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." If we want to be part of the Light of Perfection, then the darkness in our lives and in our souls must be removed. Repentance is not optional. It is the doorway into illumination. Here we must confront a deep confusion in our culture—and often in our own hearts. We have the relationship between happiness and goodness exactly backwards. We tend to think: "It is good for me to be happy." And then we go looking for ways to become happy. But Scripture teaches the opposite: Happiness is not the path to goodness. Goodness is the path to real happiness. The epistle warns us: "Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings; for it is well that the heart be strengthened by grace, not by foods." (Hebrews 13:9) Indulgence does not strengthen the heart. Novelty does not strengthen the heart. Only grace does.  There is a danger here for neophytes because Orthodox is novel for them; there is an experiential conflation of the happiness that comes from new fascinations and their new connection with The Good Itself.  More on this in a moment. Back to repentance.  Repentance is how the heart is strengthened. It is how the flickering light of intention becomes steady. The iterated acts of repentance that constitute the Christian life is how God turns sparks into flames. Repentance and Tears This will bring tears.  Christ does not say, "You have suffered enough—come get comfortable in the light." He says, "Repent." Repentance is rarely pleasant. We do not repent because it makes us happy, although it occasionally will in the short term; again, because of our fascination with things that are new and shiny. But regardless, we do not repent for happiness; we repent because the darkness that has accumulated in our souls cannot survive in the presence of the Light and we want to grow in that light.  And that is going to involve suffering on account of the darkness that is within us; a darkness that has often come to define us. The epistle reminds us: "So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore let us go forth to him outside the camp, and bear the abuse he endured." (Hebrews 13:12–13) Repentance means leaving what is familiar and comfortable. It means stepping outside the camp. It means allowing the old life to die so that a new one can endure. Point Three: What Children of the Light Do Christ does not defeat the devil in the wilderness and then rest. He immediately begins His ministry. And so must we. We do not hide the light God has given us. We let it shine. And because we have been given different gifts, we shine in different ways. But we must be clear about the direction of this life: "For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city which is to come." (Hebrews 13:14) Children of the light do not live for momentary brightness. They live toward the Kingdom. God is not basing the establishment of His Kingdom on bright flashes of enthusiasm; He is forming it on the constancy of the saints—not sparks, but flames. Marriage, Monasticism, and Mature Joy Many people experience spiritual puppy love when they first encounter Christ and His Church. And thanks be to God for that—it is a real gift. But puppy love is not the same thing as mature love. The Church teaches this most clearly through marriage and monasticism. Marriage matures love through patience, forgiveness, sacrifice, and daily fidelity. Monastic life matures love through obedience, stability, and perseverance. Both proclaim the same truth: love becomes real when it stops being about how we feel and starts being about who we are becoming. Hebrews names this life plainly: "Through him let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God… Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God." (Hebrews 13:15–16) This is the rhythm of mature Christian life—ordinary faithfulness, repeated again and again, until the light no longer flickers but until we all bear and share the eternal flame that is God's energies, constantly working through us and transforming us and this world towards His perfection in an ending tide of theosific grace. This is how Christ forms His people: not sparks, but flames. The Call All of us are called to worship, and if we are new to this the spark of our participation is infinitely greater than the darkness we once new — but it is still only the beginning of life in Christ. We have been given great gifts—individually and as a parish. We must guard against using them just to make ourselves feel good, and start using them to bring light. May Christ, the Light who has dawned upon us, make us children of the day— no longer sparks, but flames. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.  

Welcome back to Nashville Now! If you're online, you've seen Bryan Andrews all over your feed. The Missouri country singer has made a name for himself by singing traditional-leaning country music and unapologetically sharing his political beliefs in a series of viral posts. In doing so, he's smashed the stereotypes of what it means to be both a country singer and an American. This week we welcome Bryan to the cabin to talk about what drives him and ask him one particular question: Is he a country singer or a content creator?    Country is Here…Nashville is Now.   Check out our Hear Now playlist on Spotify, updated weekly.

I'm Howler. A man with a compulsion to create.Welcome back to the Bone Brew, Brave Souls. It is a new year and as is common for most, I have been looking back on things and thinking about where I will take my craft over the next year.I wrote this article last year: This Time Next Year. A vow, about where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do. This is somewhat of an amendment but not really. More like a reintroduction to Me, The Bonebrew, and the Art I seek to create.I don't believe in resolutions. I think that instead, Refusals are far more potent. I think that decisions are far more valuable. So this Article is an expounding upon the conversation in the video. Enjoy! I have quotes and words that guide me.Guide Posts:* Temperance* Awe* Be a Monster* Look at your life, look at your choices.* Slow is Smooth, Smooth is fast.* You are the Universe Experiencing itself.The Newest wordAttendSimple, elegant, not as weighty or heavy as Responsibility, Discipline, Obligation, or Duty (ha I said duty)I think the word ATTEND, Is a North Star this 2026The LieI have lived many a Life.* Soldier* Plumber* Corporate drone* BartenderMore I don't even care to count. Thing is that Often times we will tell creatives that the breadth of experience is the key to making long lasting creative works. And to some degree that has merit but I posit after mulling this over for the last five years; that is frankly a lie, and at best a half truth.We frame it as Tuition for lessons learned. We frame it as cutting our teeth in other fields, we frame it as the long way around. All of it is Cope. Stories to make ourselves feel better for not doing the thing. What ever that creative thing maybe, whether drawing, writing, painting, film making.Excuses and AvoidanceAll of it.Here's a thought experiment. Do you think the first people who drew Superman ever went skydiving?Just sit with that for a second. Did they ever go skydiving? Would they know what it's like to fly?But they drew Superman flying, jumping tall buildings, running at the speed of sound. Did they know what that felt like?So I know, and I can tell you, that art does not require experience.My RoadI can't speak as if I know you. I can only speak from my own road, my own experience. I opened my eyes one morning and felt like I'd wasted time. I was asking myself what the hell I was really doing. There was a festering rot in the pit of my stomach and in the back of my throat…“Plumbing, feeds that part of me that wants to leave something behind so it's feasible. You know, practical artistry…” Every time I said it, I could taste the bile of falsehood bubbling. A half truth. I was sacrificing for love, for obligation, I was being disciplined. There in lies the rub, the friction of it all. The greatest cage I could ever find myself in, the one of my own making. The title of Father, of Husband. Titles I wear proudly.Yet, I could feel the rot. Bubbling, building.This stuff here, this art thing for me, is like its own weird introspective therapy. Its own weird sense of clarity. It helps me think. It challenges me. Oh my God, does it challenge me.And without that... I said this to my dad the other day about it. I would be one mean son of a bitch. God, would I be one mean son of a bitch. If I don't get time to create, I get cranky.The CostWhat pray tell is it?The Anchor of Resentment.To name the thing is to disarm it, to remove it's power. Or at the very least that is the first step. I was resentful of the Titles I wore so proudly. How? Why? How is it that I found myself resenting Roles that I have wanted since I was a boy? How was that even remotely possible?It is far easier, to sail the seas of Novelty without any direction. Yet the cost is often being drowned by the Anchor(s) of Resentment, no matter how noble the Sacrifice. It is only when you are drowning that you will scramble for the closest piece of land. That is when you find yourself where you don't want to be, where you never dreamed of being. The thing about the anchor is this. You might not drown today. Tomorrow.But if you allow it... you will find the entire ship of yur life sinking. And you won't understand why.I'd allowed myself to drift and be taken by the current on the Sea of Novelty, I'd Abandoned myself for the sake of Family.How dangerous a thing. Not for me, but for the ones I love so dearly. I found I was willing to kill my dreams for them, whether I wanted to or not and in doing so I would grow to hate them all the same.The RemedyBut again friction.The RubThey didn't ask that of me, they did not require I kill a part of myself. On the contrary they want the fullest version of me.How would I ever be able to show up for them If I could not show up for myself? How could I ever fully give them my attention if I was always thinking of something else?These were the questions I found and in the asking the answer came from an unlikely source.My boy, my lil dragon, my monster. My son.AttendWe find ourselves back at that word.I took to taking walks with him during the evenings. I try to see the world through his eyes. He notices ants everywhere. The way a blade of grass is different from another. The awe in every lizard, every cloud, in the stars. He notices the things I walk by everyday without notice or care. The Mundane.He simply pays attention to the Mundane.Life is Mundane, most of us will not live some extraordinary existence, most of us will have died within a few miles of where we grew up. Creation does not require some grand adventure. You don't gain the right to be creative because you were adventurous. There is no reward system for having had an extraordinary life. Hell, Kings think themselves ordained by the heavens and it is as normal as breathing, they think their lives mundane because they awake in it each and every day.So what does it take to be a Creative?Attention.In my estimate You must attend to three things.* First and foremost* Your CraftWhatever that craft may be, attend to it's study, inner workings, and the pursuit of it's mastery. Because there is no craft without it's rules, principles, or best practices.* Secondly* SelfYour well being, your mental, your emotional, your spiritual. You ought to know what makes you tick. You ought to know what sets you on fire. You ought to know the question you are constantly seeking to answer within your own craft, and in life.* Lastly * The Mundane. The thing that spits in the face of the ‘Go live' platitude. As creatives we are the ones who make the mundane spectacular, whether it be a starry night, the whine of string, or the horror of human depravity. We are the ones who open the eyes of others, we are the ones who remind people of themselves. We are the bridge between the fantastical and the mundane, the speculative and the everyday.I don't claim that this is easy. Or that world is even conducive to this always. I do know it is the only antidote I have found, the only answer that seems to work for me.It is mundane, monotonous, repetitive, routine work. I used to hate doing that. I used to hate doing the same thing over and over again. But it is here we find depth, It is only in repetition that you find mastery.2026So, this 2026, I am choosing the Depth.I'm choosing the thing that keeps calling my name in the dead of night. The thing that keeps howling at me.Regardless of what I'm doing. The thing I'm constantly thinking about.I'm choosing it. And as I choose it, I refuse to not attend to my life. I will attend to the mundane in all of its glory.That is my refusal.That is my decision.I refuse to be trapped and drowned by the anchors of resentment.But instead, I am deciding to instead Dive into the depths!This you?If you find yourself on the same path that I was on, and you find yourself mulling something over for years at a time,Find yourself resenting your titles, your Roles, then I implore you.I implore you to dive into the depths, because that is where the anchor residesBecause only in the depths will you be able to cut yourself free from those anchors.Welcome to the bone brew.I am Howler.I'm just a man speaking from the road.A Birthday RequestI turn another year older TODAY!I'm not a fan of gifts. I normally spend today Alone in introspection, which is a great gift I think> But… I do have an ask, for once, one I hope you feel inclined to Grant.

Emily Kircher-Morris chats today with Diane Dempster and Elaine Taylor-Klaus from Impact Parents, hosts of the Parenting with Impact podcast. They talk about the challenge of motivating neurodivergent kids, and break down why it's so challenging. The chat includes a framework called PINCH, a way to remember and think about important elements of motivation. You'll come away with practical strategies for parents to foster a supportive environment that encourages engagement, and ways to move away from fear and stress as motivators. TAKEAWAYS Traditional parenting advice often doesn't apply to neurodivergent kids. Motivation can be misunderstood; it's not always lack of interest. Executive functioning skills play a crucial role in motivation. Dopamine is essential for engaging in non-preferred tasks. Waiting until the last minute can be a legitimate strategy for motivation. Fear-based parenting creates stress and is not sustainable. Intrinsic motivation develops later in life, especially for neurodivergent individuals. The PINCH framework helps identify different motivators for kids. Novelty keeps the brain engaged and interested. Competition can motivate but may also cause anxiety in some children. Collaboration and connection with peers can enhance motivation. Parents should experiment with different motivational strategies. Transparency and vulnerability in parenting can build trust. If you'd like members of your organization, school district, or company to know more about the subjects discussed on our podcast, Emily Kircher-Morris provides keynote addresses, workshops, and training sessions worldwide, in-person or virtually. You can choose from a list of established presentations, or work with Emily to develop a custom talk to fit your unique situation. To learn more, visit our website. Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster co-founded ImpactParents.com in 2011 because traditional parenting advice wasn't working for their complex kids and they found no training or coaching available designed specifically to support them as parents of complex kids. Internationally recognized as leading parent educators, they use a coach-approach to help parents reduce the stress of raising children, teens, and young adults with ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, LD and more. They're the creators of Sanity School® behavior training, and the authors of many books including Parenting ADHD Now: Easy Intervention Strategies to Empower Kids with ADHD and The Essential Guide to Raising Complex Kids with ADHD, Anxiety and More.

Most people think communication is about what you say. It's not. It's about what happens in the listener's brain before you finish your sentence. This episode breaks down the neuroscience of communication and why charisma is overrated. Real influence comes from how the brain processes sound, novelty, and behavior in real time. You'll learn the communication frameworks used by top performers, executives, and elite negotiators including vocal entrainment, micro-behavior mirroring, attention psychology, dopamine triggers, storytelling science, and credibility language patterns. We cover how to speak in short, high-impact bursts, use questions to increase engagement, and control silence in high-stakes conversations. These are practical tools pulled from boardrooms, negotiations, and live debates. If you want to communicate with confidence, influence faster, and be taken seriously in business, leadership, sales, and negotiations, this episode will change how you speak. Communication isn't a soft skill. It's applied neuroscience. Protect what you own. Next makes it fast, simple, and painless.
