You can't go home again, as the saying goes. But Denver author Josiah Hesse did. He returned to Mason City, Iowa — with a journalistic lens— to better understand his evangelical upbringing, and the social and economic forces that shaped it. We spoke in front of an audience at the Denver Press Club for the release of "On Fire for God: Fear, Shame, Poverty, and the Making of the Christian Right – a Personal History." Editor's Note: This episode of Colorado Matters originally aired on January 23, 2026.

Recognizing a tune that many of us think ought to be the national anthem, The Flood is celebrating America's 250th birthday with Woody Guthrie's most beloved song, as seen in Pamela Bowen's video below:Just nine years after President Herbert Hoover signed a 1931 congressional resolution to make “The Star Spangled Banner” the country's official anthem, Woody wrote “This Land Is Your Land.”About the SongGuthrie — having only recently landed in a fleabag boarding house in New York City after rambling and roaming, hitchhiking and hoboing across the country from California — wasn't thinking about targeting the anthem as he wrote “This Land.” However, he did have another song in his sights.Irving Berlin's “God Bless America,” recorded by Kate Smith in 1939, famously irked him — Woody thought it just didn't tell America's full story — and his 1940 composition was inspired as a protest against that tune.The reason for his ire? Well, everywhere that Woody had wandered in his long trek across the country, he heard “God Bless America” roaring from jukeboxes and radios. For him Berlin's song was too sappy, too blindly patriotic, too cut off from the hard-knock life that many Americans were facing as the Great Depression dragged into its 10th year. Guthrie wrote his song as almost a parody. “And I don't mean that in a humorous sense,” his daughter Nora Guthrie has said. “I mean that strictly in the literal sense of parody as a response to something.”Woody's original title was “God Blessed America for Me.” Nora notes, “He crossed it out later and called it ‘This Land Was Made for You and Me.' See, the parody turned into a more mature comment.”The MelodyWoody borrowed the melody, as he did for most of his songs. “He tended to write words first, and later on picked out a tune,” said Pete Seeger, Guthrie's long-time friend and rambling partner. “Woody once said, ‘When I'm writing a song and I get the words, I look around for some tune that has proved its popularity with the people.'”In this case, the melody of “This Land” is very similar to “Oh, My Loving Brother,” a Baptist hymn that The Carter Family had recorded a decade earlier as “When the World's On Fire.” That same melody also had inspired the Carters' own “Little Darlin', Pal of Mine” a couple of years before that.“Missing” VersesIn penning the lyrics to “This Land is You Land,” Guthrie, true to his original mission of protest, included several verses critical of the American economic system. Then, according to biographer Joe Klein, “he completely forgot about the song, and didn't do anything with it for another five years.”By the time Woody debuted the song on his weekly radio show in 1944 at the height of World War II, he had revised it, softening the criticism and nixing the more controversial verses about businessmen's greed and disregard for the needy.Of this and later self-editing, Woody's daughter said, “This is the early ‘50s, and [U.S. Sen. Joseph] McCarthy's out there, and it was considered dangerous in many ways to record this kind of material.”“Like most of the things, if we're talking about my dad,” Nora added, “it gets very complex here.” Noting that when The Weavers recorded the song in the mid-1950s, they also sang only the first three verses, “which, in one way, was very, very helpful to my dad, because we had no money. So thank God that they recorded something, and our family was able to get some royalties from that.”More recently, a growing number of singers have dusted off one or two of Guthrie's “lost” lyrics, as The Flood does in this rendition from a recent rehearsal, ending with: As I went walking I saw a sign there  And on the sign it said “No Trespassing.”  But on the other side it didn't say nothing,  That side was made for you and me.LegacyForty years ago a 1947 release of “This Land is Your Land” on the Asch record label was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2002, it was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry. In 2009, Pete Seeger joined rocker Bruce Springsteen to sing it from start to finish as part of President Barack Obama's inaugural celebration.In 2021, it was listed by Rolling Stone magazine among its “Top 500 Greatest Songs of All Time,” and just last year it was put at No. 11 on its list of “The 100 Best Protest Songs of All Time.”Cap'n John Guests on This PodcastMeanwhile, back to this week's podcast, we have a guest artist. As reported earlier, fiddler John Ace from Alexandria, Va., accompanied Floodster Emeritus Dave Ball to the latest Flood rehearsals to sit in. With Dave, John was on the way from Florida for gigs in Lewisburg, WV.Of Fourths PastFinally, over the years Independence Day has played an important part on many a page in The Flood's scrapbook. For instance, playing for a Huntington community party during the nation's bicentennial 50 years ago this weekend was a sweet memory in the band's first decade.

Duke also shares his thoughts on fishing crowded water, making long runs, dealing with rough water, and why the Upper Bay can humble even the best anglers. If you fish the Chesapeake Bay, Upper Chesapeake Bay, Susquehanna Flats, Northeast River, Sassafras River, Potomac River, James River, or any tidal bass fishery, this episode is packed with tournament-level information on largemouth bass fishing, tidal bass fishing, grass fishing, tournament strategy, bass fishing electronics, forward-facing sonar, fishing pressure, tide timing, and how to catch more bass in the Mid-Atlantic.Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.comDuke Nave Fishing: https://www.facebook.com/DukeNaveFishing/ LMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/  Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/  Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.com/ Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech Phone Number: (757) 566-1278 Email: lin@fishingprotech.us  Fishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168Flint Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/43t8h5N Max4 Fishing: https://bit.ly/4unuiOs Support the show

When a teen is in crisis, the behavior is not the whole message. In this conversation, I talk with Katie May about what she calls "fire feelers," kids and teens who are biologically sensitive, highly reactive, and slow to return to baseline once emotions get big. Katie explains how these kids often grow up hearing some version of "you're fine" when they are very much not fine, and how that repeated mismatch can teach them to distrust their own internal experience. We talk about why self-destructive behavior is often an attempt to make overwhelming emotion stop, and why behavior has to be understood as communication before it can really change. We also get into one of the most important parts of the episode for me: what happens to parents when things escalate. Katie talks about the shame and blame cycle, the grief that sits underneath so much of that, and why parents need their own support if they are going to stay steady in the middle of a crisis. We unpack the revolving door of hospitalization, what keeps families stuck there, and why healing is not about making all the stress disappear. It is about learning how to live inside a life that is hard and still build something meaningful, connected, and hopeful. Key Takeaways Some kids are biologically more sensitive. They feel emotions intensely, react quickly, and take longer to calm back down. Katie calls these kids "fire feelers." Repeated dismissal teaches kids to doubt themselves. When a child keeps hearing "you're fine" while feeling overwhelmed, they may start to believe their own internal signals are wrong. Self-destructive behavior is often a solution, not just a problem. It may be an impulsive attempt to make unbearable emotion go away fast. Behavior is communication. If the outside looks chaotic, there is usually something painful and dysregulated happening on the inside. Validation is not approval. It is a way of saying, "I see how hard this is for you," without reinforcing harmful behavior. Parents do not need a perfect script. Sometimes the right response is words, and sometimes it is simply staying present without minimizing what the teen is feeling. Beneath blame and shame, there is often grief. Parents are grieving the gap between the life they imagined and the life they are actually living. You cannot just remove a coping strategy without building something else. If a behavior is serving a survival function, there has to be a different way for that person to get through the day. The hospitalization cycle can become its own trap. Parents and clinicians feel temporary relief, but the teen often comes back to the same triggers without enough targeted support. Parents need real support too. This is heavy, isolating work, and families need spaces where they can talk honestly without being judged or panicked at. About Katie May Katie K. May is a licensed therapist, author, speaker, and group practice owner. She founded Creative Healing, a multi-location teen support center in the Philadelphia area, and wrote the #1 Amazon best-seller You're On Fire, It's Fine. With lived experience as a teen who turned to self-harm, Katie is one of only 11 Linehan Board Certified DBT Clinicians in Pennsylvania, the gold standard treatment for self-harm and suicidal behaviors. She equips parents and clinicians with practical, trauma-informed tools to decode behavior as survival and create lasting change.

Most sales teams are reactive — waiting for buyers to fill out a form, book a demo, or respond to an email. Tal Peretz, co-founder and CEO of OnFire AI, is building the infrastructure to change that. OnFire monitors millions of public signals across Reddit, Stack Overflow, LinkedIn, Slack, and technical forums to identify high-intent buyers before they ever contact your sales team.In this episode, Tal breaks down how AI is transforming go-to-market for companies selling to technical buyers — CTOs, CISOs, and engineers — who notoriously resist generic outreach and respond only to context-rich, well-timed conversations. Tal shares his journey from engineer to CEO, how he and his co-founder interviewed 275 revenue leaders before writing a line of code, what it's really like to raise a $20M seed round, and the hard-won lessons of learning to sell as a first-time founder. From ICP discovery and outcome-based pricing to the future of AI in sales, this is a masterclass in signal-driven, intent-based revenue growth.Key Takeaways0:00 — Why most sales teams miss buyers who are already signaling intent publicly2:07 — Intro to Tal Peretz: Co-founder & CEO of OnFire AI3:56 — The origin story: 275 revenue leader interviews before building the product4:36 — How OnFire works: Capturing public web signals, de-anonymizing prospects, and delivering real-time context to sales teams6:25 — Why selling to CTOs, CISOs, and engineers is uniquely difficult — and uniquely valuable7:36 — The 50-million-engineer insight: Turning public technical conversations into revenue intelligence10:04 — What true AI ROI looks like: efficiency gains + directly attributed pipeline11:15 — The 4X pipeline result: What customers see in their first quarter with OnFire11:52 — Speed + personalization + human touch: Why all three are required for signal-based outreach13:03 — Raising a $20M seed round and what hypergrowth pressure really means13:47 — What makes a great investor: shared values, chemistry, and true partnership in hard moments15:59 — Managing pressure: Working backwards from a 24-month North Star to break goals into milestones17:07 — Building vs. selling: What was harder in the early days17:59 — An engineer who learned to love sales: How Tal found his passion for closing deals19:21 — The ICP trap: Why selling to everyone early is the most costly mistake a founder makes20:51 — The outbound playbook: Cold calling, LinkedIn, and the "stealth company" message that landed their biggest customers22:10 — The consulting approach: Why leading with curiosity instead of a pitch built their enterprise pipeline24:41 — The three-layer go-to-market machine: Brand, field/events, and outbound working together26:45 — Selling six-figure enterprise deals: Going on-site, acting as a partner, not a vendor28:51 — Staying focused in a crowded AI market: The "build on top of the platform" rule30:02 — Building go-to-market teams as a technical founder: The hardest challenge32:14 — The biggest AI pricing mistake: Why outcome-based pricing is the future35:03 — Sales-led vs. product-led growth: How Tal thinks about when and how to make the shift38:09 — The future of go-to-market: How AI eliminates the 80% of busy work reps do today40:53 — The one thing founders must nail to break through from product to real revenue41:38 — Where to find Tal and OnFire AITweetable Quotes"We monitor the public web for signals — competitors, pain points, product mentions — and surface them to your sales team in real time.

The reps who win will be the ones who know how to leverage those tools and still build real relationships." — Tal Peretz"Outcome-based pricing is the future. Align what your customer pays with the value they actually receive — then you're never fighting about ROI again." — Tal Peretz"We started with outbound and a simple message: 'I'm a stealth founder. I want to learn from your experience.' No pitch. Just curiosity. Our biggest customers today came from that exact message." — Tal PeretzSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Validate the market before you build the product. Tal and his co-founders interviewed 275 revenue leaders before writing a single line of code. They didn't fall in love with a solution — they found the problem first. For early-stage founders, this discipline separates products that get traction from ones that get ignored.2. Your ICP is not a marketing decision — it's a survival decision. Selling to every prospect early feels like progress, but it's a trap. Tal's hard-won insight: identify the customers with the biggest pain, the highest retention potential, and the best growth trajectory early, then build everything around them. Chasing the wrong customers burns runway and muddies your product roadmap.3. Great investors are chosen for the downside, not the upside. When everything is working, any investor looks great. The real test comes when something breaks. Tal defines great investors by shared core values, authentic chemistry, and willingness to engage as a true partner — not just a capital source — when the hard moments arrive.4. Act like a consultant before you act like a vendor. OnFire's biggest enterprise wins came from going on-site, meeting the full revenue team, mapping the customer's strategic goals, and co-designing a plan — before ever talking contract. For founders selling complex, high-ACV solutions, acting as a partner rather than a vendor changes the entire sales dynamic.5. Outcome-based pricing aligns your success with your customer's success. Charging by seat or token puts you in constant translation mode — always proving value. Pricing tied to outcomes (pipeline generated, conversations resolved, deals influenced) makes the value self-evident and creates a partnership, not a vendor relationship. The companies doing this best in AI are winning stickier, larger contracts.6. The future sales rep is an AI orchestrator, not a data processor. Today's reps spend ~80% of their time on research, sourcing, and admin — not selling. AI will progressively eliminate that 80%. The reps who thrive won't be those who resist the change, but those who master AI tooling and redirect all of their energy to the irreplaceable human skill: building trust and closing deals.Guest Resourcestal@onfire.aihttps://onfire.aihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/tal-peretz/instagram.com/peretztalx.com/TalPeretz13Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

Many people living with depression aren't trying to “be happy.” They're just trying to make it to tomorrow.In this deeply honest episode of Normalize The Conversation, Francesca Reicherter sits down with therapist and author Katie (You're On Fire, It's Fine) to talk openly about suicidality, self-harm, emotional sensitivity, and what it actually means to live with depression — not just recover from it. This conversation explores the emotional weight of birthdays and holidays, the pressure to look okay, and the reality that someone can laugh, function, and still be struggling to stay alive.Katie shares from both lived experience and professional insight, explaining how self-harm can become a survival strategy when emotions feel overwhelming — not an attention-seeking behavior. Together, they unpack why invalidating responses like “be positive,” “get over it,” or “you seem fine” can deepen shame and isolation, even when they're well-intentioned.This episode also speaks directly to parents and loved ones. Katie explains why fear often drives reactive responses, how shame shows up in families, and what supportive language actually looks like when someone is suicidal or self-harming. You'll learn why asking “What do you need right now?” can be more powerful than trying to fix the pain — and how learning someone's emotional language can change the entire relationship.Key topics include:What chronic suicidality really feels likeWhy depression isn't just sadnessHow self-harm functions as emotional regulationEmotional validation vs. toxic positivitySupporting loved ones without escalating crisisLiving a life worth living with depressionThis episode is for you if you've ever felt misunderstood, “too emotional,” or exhausted by trying to appear okay — or if you love someone who is struggling and don't know how to help.

Four hundred episodes.When I started this podcast, I had one simple belief: the best lessons in building a remarkable software company don't come from business books or consulting frameworks. They come from CEOs who've lived it — the ones who made the hard calls, paid for the wrong assumptions, and built something worth talking about.I went back through the last 99 conversations — and pulled the 18 insights that I believe will genuinely open your eyes. Not the ones that make you nod. The ones that hold a mirror.I selected them for one reason: each one connects directly to the traits I write about in The Remarkable Effect. The patterns that separate the software companies people keep talking about from the ones that quietly disappear.Six don'ts. Twelve do's.The don'ts follow one thread — each one is an assumption that ended up costing a CEO everything. The do's move from the inside out — who you need to be, how you compete, how you grow, and who you put around you.Here's who you'll hear from:DON'TSHarpreet Singh, Co-CEO Launchable — on the mistake that erodes confidence in leadership faster than anything elseJosh Ellars, CEO OpenGTM — on the decision he kept making wrong, more than onceEd Bradley, CEO Virtualstock — on why being turned down by every investor was the best thing that happened to himEmeric Ernoult, CEO Agorapulse — on the reason he almost gave away part of his company for nothingKrishna Raj Raja, CEO SupportLogic — on which hiring mistake is actually more dangerousJason Cohen, Founder WPEngine — on the belief that quietly kills more scaling companies than anything elseDO'SMatt van Itallie, CEO Sema — on why the leadership book's answer didn't workRichard White, CEO Fathom — on what the best YC founders had in common that surprised himMatt Achariam, CEO Mesh — on what falls apart when momentum arrives too fastScott Reynolds, CEO UpCodes — on the question most AI founders can't answerMark Walker, CEO Nue — on why creating a new market isn't always the best ideaCaitlin MacGregor, CEO Plum — on why CEOs should spend more time sellingTal Peretz, CEO Onfire — on saying no to customers who wanted to pay himJason Cohen, Founder WPEngine — on the one thing worth fixing before everything elseEmeric Ernoult, CEO Agorapulse — on why testing for the outcome is the wrong testTheo Saville, CEO CloudNC — on the difference between a busy team and a focused oneRandy Wootton, CEO Maxio — on what nobody tells you before you sit in the CEO chairJon Jorgensen, CEO The Access Group — on how he actually went about finding the right peopleDinakara Nagalla, CEO EmpowerMx (acquired by IFS) — on what remarkable actually means when nobody is watching

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "On Fire"

Ten years ago this week, ON FIRE was released. When the book first went out into the world, I wasn't expecting bestseller lists, translations into a dozen languages, or a feature film. My hope was far simpler: to honor the people who saved my life. In sharing their stories, my hope was simple: to remind readers that they, too, could be part of someone else's miracle. Because what made these heroes remarkable wasn't supernatural power. It was their decision to use their lives to elevate someone else's. A superpower available to all of us. My hope was that readers would recognize the heroes in their own story—and then choose to become one in someone else's. And yet, something remarkable happened. Let me explain.

Survivor 50 Premiere Mailbag Rob Cesternino and Brandon Donlon open the mailbag to break down the Survivor 50 premiere, responding to listener questions and early reactions following the milestone return. With fan enthusiasm at a recent high, they discuss why the premiere landed so strongly and how tempered expectations may have contributed to its positive reception A major focus of the episode is the absence of the On Fire podcast for Season 50. Rob and Brandon explain Jeff Probst's decision to place the official podcast on hiatus, analyze the reasoning behind “not pulling back the curtain,” and debate whether skipping supplemental content makes sense for a celebratory season built on nostalgia and long-term investment. They dig into early gameplay questions, including whether returning winners are in immediate danger, why certain players avoided early scrutiny, and how pregame reputations influenced first-episode dynamics. The discussion touches on Savannah's quiet positioning, Jenna Lewis' early struggles, and how social grouping formed quickly despite limited gameplay. Rob and Brandon also examine production choices, including lost votes, journeys, and advantages, questioning which twists add meaningful strategy versus unnecessary friction. The Billie Eilish Boomerang Idol receives special attention, with analysis of how it works, why Genevieve's decision to send it to Ozzy matters, and how secrecy around its mechanics could impact future rounds. The episode closes with broader reflections on nostalgia, casting chemistry, and why Survivor 50 feels fundamentally different from recent seasons. With a mix of audience questions, strategic evaluation, and franchise-level discussion, the mailbag sets the tone for how RHAP will approach coverage throughout the season. 0:00 Survivor 50 Premiere Mailbag Begins 06:10 On Fire Podcast Officially on Hiatus 13:02 Cirie's Safety First Vote Discussed 20:15 Ozzy vs. Coach: Rivalry Develops 27:15 Which Tribe Would Rob Join? 30:29 Colby and Rizzo's Island Dynamic 38:12 Amanda Kimmel Almost Replaced Aubry 46:02 Multiple Billie Eilish Idols Theorized 54:13 Sending Idol to Ozzy Debated 58:07 Should Ozzy Know Idol Sender? 1:06:21 Ranking This Premiere Among All 1:09:20 Should Physical Challenges Be Retired? 1:21:18 Casting Old School vs New School 1:33:32 Influencers and Survivor's Future Casting 1:35:52 Who's In Trouble Next Vote? 1:42:15 Survivor 50 Housekeeping and Announcements To pre-order Rob’s book, The Tribe and I Have Spoken, visit www.robhasabook.com Never miss a minute of RHAP's extensive Survivor coverage!

HUMP DAAAAYYY!!!1 Sad News For XBox Fans, Shoplifting Never Pays, Another Food Assault, That Girl's On Fire, Lindsey Lost Something And Not Her Mind, WWE Sitcoms, & WINGS!!!!

Josiah Hesse grew up in northern Iowa during the farm crisis of the 1980s, a moment of economic collapse, rising poverty, and quiet desperation across the rural Midwest. In this episode, he joins Straight White American, Jesus to talk about his new memoir, On Fire for God: Fear, Shame, Poverty, and the Making of the Christian Right. Through his family's story—parents who poured everything into a prosperity-gospel church, even giving dollar-for-dollar what they earned—Hesse traces how faith, trauma, and economic pressure collided in a home and a church marked by dysfunction, scandal, and exploitation. What emerges is not a caricature, but a deeply human portrait of people searching for meaning, stability, and hope in a system that ultimately consumed them. Our conversation moves from the intimate to the national, mapping Hesse's personal journey onto the rise of the Christian Right from the 1980s to today's Christian nationalist movement. We talk about fear of the end times, purity culture, religious trauma, sexuality, and the long road out of evangelicalism—alongside the compassion required to reckon honestly with the people and places that shaped him. Hesse, a journalist based in Colorado, brings unflinching analysis and rare empathy to a genre crowded with deconversion stories, showing how the forces that shaped his childhood are now shaping our public square. Subscribers can stick around for an extended discussion on how his story illuminates the political and moral crises we're living through right now. www.axismundi.us www.straightwhiteamericanjesus.com Hesse, On Fire for God: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/721105/on-fire-for-god-by-josiah-hesse/ Learn more about your ad choices.
