Narcissism is usually imagined as arrogance, dominance, and the loudest person in the room, but it is not always that obvious. In this episode, Vanessa explores narcissism as a problem of selfhood: what happens when a person does not have a stable enough inner sense of Self to stay emotionally coherent without constant reflection from the outside. Through Kohut, Kernberg, the myth of Narcissus, vulnerable and grandiose narcissism, the false self, parental overvaluation, and the difference between traits and Narcissistic Personality Disorder, we look at why these dynamics can feel so confusing inside real relationships. The question is not only whether someone can be charming, wounded, or empathic when things are easy, but whether they can stay curious about your reality when it no longer mirrors back the version of themselves they need to see.For educational purposes only. This isn't therapy.Join Vanessa for the free Inner Compass Academy Summit, August 5–7, where we'll explore depth psychology, shadow, embodiment, and what real transformation asks of us.

This week on the GovNavigators Show, Robert and Adam welcome Lauren Lombardo, Policy Director for Recoding America, to discuss her work driving collaborative and coordinated government management policy reform. Lauren walks us through how working on campaigns at 13 years old sparked an early interest in public service, and describes her professional path working as a data scientist in the private sector before pivoting to use her technology background as a staffer in Congress. She dives into her work with the Recoding America fund, building connections with think tanks and individuals passionate about government management reform, developing the narrative surrounding these issues, and administering grants to organizations doing policy development and advocacy work in the government management sphere. Plus, learn why Lauren believes problems attributed to technology in government often stem much deeper, and why bipartisanism is necessary for real policy change.  Show Notes Allocore: allocore.com New York Times: Accept Your Fate.

Mathew Toro is 32 years old—and says he is already preparing to run for president of the United States in 2036.Toro says this is not a sudden ambition, but a 16-year effort he began planning in 2020, when he was just 26 years old.He is building that effort around what he calls an “Economic Justice Revolution,” a proposal designed to return more corporate profits to the workers who helped create them.But will Toro develop the experience, organization, and credibility required to become a serious presidential contender? And by 2036, will an America battered by economic inequality, corporate power, political division, and distrust be ready for the kind of revolution he proposes?In this Lean to the Left interview, host Bob Gatty presses Toro about his background, qualifications, political philosophy, economic proposals, campaign strategy, education, foreign policy views, and the enormous challenge of building a credible national campaign.Toro explains his proposal to require highly profitable corporations to return 36 percent of their net income above $1 billion to their employees. Using Apple as an example, he argues that workers could receive substantial annual payments representing what he calls the true value of their labor.The discussion includes:• Why Toro began planning his presidential run in 2020• His experiences with homelessness and economic hardship• Why he believes corporate greed and political corruption are connected• His plan to build a grassroots campaign through social media• Whether he would seek another elected office before running for president• His support for universal preventive healthcare• His views on labor unions and working-class power• The current Democratic Party and political polarization• How he would confront opposition from Congress and corporate interests• What he still must accomplish before voters should consider him qualifiedToro acknowledges that he currently lacks the staff, funding, national organization, and political infrastructure required for a presidential campaign. But he insists the years ahead give him time to build a movement and establish credibility.“I'm barely half the man I'll be in 2036,” he says, describing that election year as “a date with American history.”Will Mathew Toro be ready by then?And after another decade of economic and political upheaval, will America be ready for him?Watch the interview and decide for yourself.Subscribe to Lean to the Left for interviews, political commentary, and independent reporting focused on democracy, economic fairness, government accountability, and the issues affecting working Americans.CHAPTERS: 00:00 Welcome and Setup01:28 Meet Matthew Toro01:46 Origins of His Mission03:59 Homelessness and Solutions05:55 Why Aim for 203608:37 Corruption and Bipartisanship09:40 Economic Justice Plan Explained13:18 Is It Socialism14:59 Unions Healthcare Housing16:31 Building a Real Campaign18:10 Books and Fundraising Online20:09 Democrats and Misinformation23:13 Getting Congress Onboard27:10 Foreign Policy and Trump28:24 Background and Weaknesses30:05 How Voters Should Judge31:32 Closing Thoughts and Farewell#MathewToro #Election2036 #EconomicJustice #WorkingClass #PresidentialElection #ProgressivePolitics #CorporateGreed #LaborRights #PoliticalInterview #LeanToTheLeft

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!For centuries, questions about the paranormal have lingered just beyond clear understanding. What causes ghostly experiences? Why do some individuals seem to encounter them repeatedly, while others never do? And is there a scientific explanation hiding behind what many have dismissed as purely supernatural?The Ghost Studies: New Perspectives on the Origins of Paranormal Experiences explores these questions through a different lens—one grounded in research, psychology, and environmental factors. Rather than focusing solely on stories, it examines how energy, emotion, and surroundings may contribute to what people perceive as hauntings.The work also raises an intriguing possibility: that some individuals may be more sensitive to these experiences due to how they process or interact with their environment. It's an approach that doesn't dismiss the paranormal—but instead asks why it happens at all.As the lines between science and the unexplained begin to blur, one question becomes harder to ignore—are ghostly encounters something external… or something we are, in part, helping to create?#TheGraveTalks #GhostStudies #ParanormalScience #HauntingsExplained #Parapsychology #GhostEncounters #SupernaturalResearch #PsychologyOfHauntings #ParanormalPodcast #LifeAfterDeathLove real ghost stories?

Host Matt Trump continues his "summer abroad" as the self-described Rick Steves of Badlands, picking up the walking tour right where last week's City of London stroll left off. After recapping how a "digital" City of London projects financial power through shipping, insurance, and choke points, he leads you south from Bank Station down King William Street, past the Monument to the Great Fire, the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers, and a glimpse of the Shard and Tower Bridge, all the way to the famously plain London Bridge itself. The payoff is his central thesis: the bridge, not the architecture, is what matters. London began as Roman Londinium, a military garrison built to guard the crossing, which he frames as the birthplace of foreign domination over Britain and a lineage of concentrated power stretching to today. Expect history, geopolitics, wry asides, the three-city model, and a promise to tackle the Normans next week.

MoonKing joins The Block Runner to recount entering SHIB within its first few days, watching its community form during DeFi Summer, and navigating the extreme volatility that followed. He explains how conviction, narrative, liquidity, and community participation shaped his decisions as SHIB grew. The conversation examines how meme coin culture has changed since 2020. MoonKing contrasts the longer holding periods of earlier crypto cycles with today's rapid trading environment, where launch platforms, copycat tokens, and fragmented liquidity can make sustained community growth more difficult. The discussion then turns to NAT and its thesis surrounding Bitcoin's long-term security budget. MoonKing explains why the underlying argument captured his attention, while the hosts discuss miner adoption, TAP Protocol, BIP-110, OP_RETURN, and how NAT could continue operating as Bitcoin evolves. MoonKing also shares his approach to crypto marketing: lead with a clear, provocative claim, invite disagreement, and support the message with an understandable argument. The group considers whether a more controversial framing could bring wider attention to NAT and force a substantive debate among Bitcoin supporters and critics. MoonKing holds NAT and operates paid educational subscriptions and ProudProfits.com; the hosts are active NAT advocates and have interests connected to the project and its ecosystem. Nothing in this episode is financial advice. Watch the full conversation and subscribe to The Block Runner for future episodes.

Episode 321 begins with William and T.J. reacting to the ongoing soccer tournament, disputed officiating, ticket prices, broadcasting rights, and the scale of the business surrounding the sport. The conversation then returns to Digital Matter Theory and the origins of NAT. The hosts explain how Bitcoin block data, Ordinals, Bitmap, and recurring on-chain patterns inspired a framework for creating digital assets whose properties and supplies are derived from Bitcoin rather than selected arbitrarily. They revisit NAT's distribution, early minting process, growing holder base, and proposed role as a second subsidy for Bitcoin miners. The discussion examines the long-term decline of Bitcoin's block subsidy and why directing value toward miners could contribute to network security without changing Bitcoin's monetary policy. William and T.J. also explore how NAT.fun brings DMT concepts into a lower-friction Solana environment. They review early Vibeathon submissions, including digital art, AI-assisted projects, data-driven collections, and tools that use Bitcoin block information as part of their underlying structure. Disclosure: The hosts are creators and contributors within the DMT, NAT, and NAT.fun ecosystems and hold related interests. Nothing in this episode is financial advice.

Salvatore Vitale and Calin Plunkett continue: to uncover the origins of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, scientists propose building larger gravitational wave detectors scaled up by a factor of ten. These advanced observatories would allow researchers to peer further back into cosmic history, potentially detecting black holes from the very early universe. Expanding the global network to four or five detectors would help pinpoint host galaxies and detect the formation of heavy elements. (8)1836 ROYAL OBERVATORY, GREENWICH UK

One way to understand how the U.S. operates around the world is the Godfather model. Obey the Don and you'll be well rewarded. Cross him up and it's lights out. The U.S. maintains its global power out of the barrel of a gun. Of course, for rhetorical purposes Washington is dedicated to human rights, freedom and democracy. In practice it implements mafia-type rules. In its origins, the Founding Fathers emulated Britain. By the end of World War Two the Union Jack was replaced by the Stars and Stripes and America ruled the waves. It invades, bombs and occupies countries, imposes sanctions and blockades and kidnaps and assassinates leaders. Chomsky says, “Since its founding, America has scarcely had a year without resorting to violence.”

Physical Performance Show – Episode 383 Show Notes In episode 383 of The Physical Performance Show, host Brad Beer sits down with Professor Franco Impellizzeri, one of the most influential and outspoken voices in athlete load management research, for a wide-ranging conversation on why "load management" is an old concept dressed up in new data, why the acute to chronic workload ratio (ACWR) never held up to scrutiny, and why context — not more metrics — is what separates good decision-making from noise. Show Sponsor: Pillar Performance continues to lead the way in sports nutrition through micro-nutrition innovation, now expanding into the Performance Health range.

In this episode of The Biollywood Podcast, the Director of the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense at the Atlantic Council, Dr. Asha M. George, Associate Director for Research, J.T. O'Brien, and Associate Director for Government Relations and Policy, Robert Bradley, discuss S02E10 of NCIS: Origins, Lean on Me. We are joined by special guest, Patrick Cady, who directed the episode. Patrick is an Emmy-nominated cinematographer-turned-director known for his visual storytelling on acclaimed series like Bosch and Insecure. He began his career working with legendary filmmaker John Sayles on films like Passion Fish and Sunshine State, and his cinematography credits include the Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner Girlfight. As a director, he has helmed pivotal episodes of Rectify, Interrogation, and the series finale of Bosch. Premise: A Marine captain, Brian Polanco, stumbles into the NIS office at Camp Pendleton exhibiting symptoms that initially appear to be intoxication. When Gibbs attempts to place him in the drunk tank, Polanco begins seizing violently. Paramedics arrive and suspect the Lenkah virus—a fictional pathogen with a 95% mortality rate that last appeared in 1924—triggering a full office quarantine and lockdown. With Mike Franks sidelined by a thrown-out back and most of the team trapped at a bar offsite, Gibbs finds himself as the senior agent in charge during what appears to be a bioterrorism event.

Alan Murray has spent four decades studying American business — as editor-in-chief and CEO of Fortune, Washington bureau chief at the Wall Street Journal, president of Pew Research Center, and now founding president of the WSJ Leadership Institute. In this episode, he makes the case that despite the headlines, business has undergone a genuine, structural shift toward human-centered leadership — and he explains the "physics" behind why.  Alan walks Bill through the data point that changed how he thinks about corporate value: a study found that more than 80% of Fortune 500 companies' value came from physical assets in the mid-1970s, but today more than 85% of value comes from intangibles — talent, brand loyalty, employee engagement. That shift, he argues, is what's really driving the "human-centered" turn in business, not politics or PR.  The conversation also covers:  Why the language around ESG and DEI has changed even if the underlying substance hasn't  The Johnson & Johnson Credo, the Tylenol crisis, and what it means for corporate integrity today  Why Is Mona Lisa Smiling? The Reimagination of the Corporation, a documentary film for which Alan served as an executive producer.  The state of journalism — why newsroom jobs have likely been cut by 50% or more over the last 20-25 years, and why paywalls at places like the Wall Street Journal and New York Times were the right call  His cautious optimism about AI: massive upside for medical research and productivity, paired with real fears about the "pollution of the information ecosystem"  His new venture, the WSJ Leadership Institute, helping executives navigate a moment where, as he puts it, every technology conversation eventually becomes a conversation about people  Chapters: 00:00:00 Early Journalism and Origins 00:04:49 The Nature of Optimistic Leadership 00:11:31 Human-Centered Business Evolution 00:19:07 Reimagining the Corporation 00:23:43 The State of Modern Journalism 00:32:26 AI, Leadership, and Future Outlook

Andrew Walworth, Carl Cannon and RCP contributor and attorney Richard Porter discuss today's Senate hearing on the origins of Covid with Anthony Fauci, who answered every question from the committee by asserting his fifth amendment rights. Then, RealClear Investigations senior reporter James Varney joins Andrew and Carl to discuss his latest article “Biden Bucks: Climate Change Funds a Bonanza for State Outfits,” which looks at huge grants awarded to state agencies in the final months of the Biden Administration for green energy projects, and the Trump Administration's attempt to claw the money back. Next, they talk about the schedule for the 2028 Democratic primaries, which will start in South Carolina on January 22, and which potential candidates are helped and hurt by the order. And finally, they look at the GOP contest for the 2028 presidential nomination, and whether there are candidates other than Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio who may get into the race.

She now runs discovery.com, an AI-native platform that helps product leaders and teams make faster, better product decisions by connecting to their tools and synthesising competitor, customer and growth intelligence. She is also the driving force behind the Makers Manifesto — a cross-disciplinary set of values and principles for building great products in the age of AI, developed with 45 contributors from across product, engineering, design, and business leadership.We discuss:The manifesto emerged from 96 conversations with product leaders whose grasp of AI ranged from fully automated pipelines to treating it as a faster way to write PRDs — a gap that revealed an industry in urgent need of a shared reference point.Four values anchor the manifesto: purpose over possibility, value created over effort spent, learning loops over launch plans, and human accountability over full automation."Maker" was chosen over "builder" to signal that designers, engineers, salespeople, customer support staff, and founders all share equal ownership of the creation process — regardless of job title.Feature parity is no longer a defensible moat: when any competitor can replicate a capability within days, durable advantage must come from data, relationships, distribution, and business model.Product market fit can no longer be treated as a static milestone — in a market where products, competitors, and customer expectations shift simultaneously, fit must become a continuous, living part of decision-making."Done" now means adopted, not shipped. AI removes every excuse for clunky, one-size-fits-all experiences, and teams that still equate production deployment with completion are measuring the wrong thing.Making context explicit — codifying strategy in a form that agents and humans can both act on daily — is the principle teams consistently identify as their most urgent, immediate priority.Chapters00:00 Introduction 01:12 Faith's background 02:28 Origins of the Makers Manifesto 06:18 Makers Manifesto vs the Agile Manifesto 07:23 Why "maker" not "builder" 11:42 Four values and 16 principles 15:01 Purpose over possibility 19:10 Learning loops over launch plans 22:36 Who gets to be a maker 28:55 Durable advantage in the AI era 33:22 Staying close to customers 36:04 What's next for the manifesto 43:59 Wrap-upReferencedMakers Manifesto — https://makersmanifesto.orgdiscovery.com — Faith's AI-native product decision platformOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

This week, President Donald Trump asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow him to implement an executive order aimed at making it much harder to vote by mail. The order would direct the Department of Homeland Security to create “state citizenship lists” of eligible voters and require the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail-in ballots only to people on those lists.  It's part of the president's ongoing attacks on the election system.  Political Breakdown has been examining election integrity in America over the past few weeks, and today they revisit the first episode in that series.  Host Marisa Lagos talks with historian Carol Anderson, a professor of African American Studies at Emory University and author of “One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression is Destroying our Democracy.” They take a look at the nation's history of voting from Reconstruction and Jim Crow to the civil rights era and the recent gutting of the Voting Rights Act.  Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠Political Breakdown's weekly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠, delivered straight to your inbox.

Could some of the changes we associate with aging actually involve declining oxygen utilization?In Episode 147 of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley speaks with Brad Pitzele, founder of One Thousand Roads, about Exercise With Oxygen Therapy—better known as EWOT.Brad's interest in EWOT began during his own struggle with cancer, autoimmune illness, chronic Lyme disease, Bartonella, chronic fatigue, severe foot pain, and declining mobility. After trying numerous approaches without meaningful improvement, he used his mechanical-engineering background to build an EWOT system of his own.Brad explains what he experienced after using the system consistently, why he believes oxygen utilization deserves more attention, and how that personal journey led him to establish One Thousand Roads.In this episode, you will learn:• What EWOT is and how a typical session works• Why concentrated oxygen is combined with exercise• How oxygen utilization may change with age and inflammation• The proposed relationship between circulation, capillaries, oxygen, and cellular energy• How EWOT differs from ordinary supplemental oxygen• EWOT compared with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT• Whether the benefits come from oxygen, exercise, or both• What an EWOT session may feel like• Which forms of exercise can be used with EWOT• Why sessions commonly last approximately 15 minutes• How often Brad recommends using EWOT• What to consider when comparing EWOT systems• The difference between 5-liter and 10-liter oxygen concentrators• Why reservoir capacity, mask quality, component safety, and customer support matter• How EWOT may be combined with red light therapy• Potential applications involving exercise performance, recovery, VO2 max, healthy aging, and chronic health challenges• Why EWOT should not be presented as a cure for cancer or other diseasesABOUT BRAD PITZELEBrad Pitzele is the founder of One Thousand Roads, a wellness technology company focused on Exercise With Oxygen Therapy and red light therapy.Brad's work grew from his own experience with serious health challenges, including cancer, autoimmune illness, chronic Lyme disease, fatigue, pain, and limited mobility. He credits EWOT and red light therapy with helping change the direction of his recovery.Combining that experience with his background in mechanical engineering and business, Brad now works to make these technologies easier to understand and more accessible.

What does it cost to stay true to your music?   In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen sits down with singer-songwriter and guitarist Adam Reifsnyder as he shares what it felt like to watch that happen from the outside, how he wrote through divorce, pregnancy loss, and a cancer diagnosis in the same year, and why he still gets up at 5:30 in the morning to make music because he simply cannot stop.   Adam's story is not about fame. It is about the kind of soul-level commitment to a creative life that does not bend to timelines, industry rules, or anyone else's definition of success.   Watch the Someone Gets Me Podcast – Beyond the Hit Song: An Honest Conversation with Adam Reifsnyder   Did you enjoy this episode?

If you've been on the internet around the holidays over the last few years, you've probably come across one or two videos asserting that Christmas is a collection of pagan traditions which were all rolled into one in order to make it easier to convert people. To be fair, Christianization was a real thing, and the Church did syncretize some aspects of various festivals into Christian holidays - but when it comes to Christmas, that's not really the case. Before we get into why that is, though, we do want to take a minute and explain that we're not trying to invalidate anyone's deeply held religious beliefs. We know that paganism is seeing a resurgence, and we're aware that we have a lot of people who identify with various pagan traditions who watch our channel. Our only request is that you consider how you'd feel if someone came along and told you that one of your most important religious festivals didn't matter because it was actually stolen from somewhere else, and then hear us out as we go through the reasons why we firmly believe Christmas is, genuinely, a purely Christian holiday. 0:00 - Open 4:52 - The Lads' Favorite Santa Movies 18:59 - The Origins of Santa Claus 33:31 - Where Did Christmas Come From?

Merneptah started his reign aggressively, striking a belligerent tone in his royal names and launching an expedition to Canaan in the first few years. In the process, his troops captured Ashkelon, Gezer, and Yenoam, and dealt with a tribe called "Israel." Simultaneously, Merneptah achieved a great diplomatic coup when we brought Ugarit back into the Egyptian sphere. Music by Keith Zizza & Luke Chaos.
