This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpeter performer and recording artist Johnny Thirkell, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Johnny Thirkell trumpet interview"   Find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here: https://bobreeves.com/blog/johnny-thirkell-trumpet-interview-the-other-side-of-the-bell-149   About Johnny Thirkell: In a long and varied career, Johnny Thirkell has an impressive record of achievements and unparalleled experience as a trumpet player, producer and latterly as a tech entrepreneur.  Upon leaving Leeds College of Music, he studied trumpet in New York with the great Carmine Caruso before embarking on a playing career which would see him perform in many genres of music at the highest level. From the B.B.C. Radio Orchestra through the Buddy Rich & Gil Evans Orchestras, and on in to the Rock & Pop industry, Johnny established himself as a versatile and adaptable musician of the highest calibre.​ A measure of his success lies in the fact that his trumpet playing featured on at least 1 album in the UK album chart, continuously, without a break for over 13 years, and at one point he was playing on 11 of the top 50 albums in a single week.  He has performed on over 6000 recordings, more than 100 top ten albums and 38 US & UK No.1 records, including the recent BTS global smash "Dynamite." ​ A natural progression along the way was into record production, and he has produced (or co-produced) over 250 commercial releases, and co-written many of the songs. Indeed, he has had over 500 songs published, including songs for artists as diverse as The Spice Girls (he co-wrote their early songs), Odyssey & The Three Degrees.  In recent years he has focused on building and selling a number of businesses in the music and technology space. Johnny also enjoys employing his communication skills and experience through writing and speaking, and is the Founder of Elite Music Camps - offering week-long residential music courses taught by some of the finest musicians in the world.   Episode Links: Buy the book, Blown It, Johnny's stories from his amazing life!

What happens when we die, and what if it's more beautiful than we've ever imagined?   In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with John J. Davis, a man who died for 7 minutes during surgery... and came back with memories that will change how you see life, death, and what truly matters.   What he experienced during his near-death journey is a powerful glimpse into the afterlife, complete with spirit guides, life reviews, soul contracts, and a reunion with loved ones (and pets) on the other side.   John takes us beyond the white light to the "Orientation Center", a place souls go after they pass, to remember who they really are. He shares visions of cosmic libraries, planning rooms where we choose our lives, and the deep truth that no one comes to Earth by accident. This story is a breathtaking reminder that we are never truly alone and that our lives are more purposeful than we often realize.   If you've ever wondered what happens when we die, what your soul came here to learn, or why life's challenges might be part of a deeper plan, this conversation will speak directly to your heart.   ===   Guest Bio: John had a life-changing experience when he was 21 years old, which we now call a near-death experience. He was met by his spirit guide and given a tour of Heaven or the Other Side. During his experience, he was given a message to tell us that there is no death.   Website: http://johnjdavisnde.com       ===        

What if one of the best-performing investments over the last few decades wasn't stocks, real estate, or gold — but LEGO? It sounds absurd, yet when researchers tracked the resale value of LEGO sets, they found returns that beat many traditional investments. We begin by looking at which sets gain value, why they do, and what makes some toys unexpectedly valuable. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0275531921001604 Life rarely goes according to plan. Careers shift, relationships change, health issues arise, and unexpected events force us to adapt — often before we feel ready. Since change is unavoidable, the real question becomes: how do you respond when life throws you off course? Maya Shankar joins me with powerful insights on navigating uncertainty and finding meaning when plans fall apart. Maya is a cognitive scientist, former senior advisor in the Obama White House, Senior Director of Behavioral Economics at Google, host of A Slight Change of Plans, and author of The Other Side of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans (https://amzn.to/4qAad5U) Time is one of the few constants in life — yet our experience of it is anything but constant. Why does time seem to fly on vacation but crawl in traffic? Why do many people feel that time speeds up as they get older? And what is time, really? Sten Odenwald helps untangle these questions. He's a longtime astronomer, Director of NASA's STEM Resource Development Project, and author of The Essential Book of Time (https://amzn.to/3N6qNfm). And finally, legendary relationship researcher John Gottman says long-term relationships don't succeed because of romance, passion, or even communication skills alone. Instead, they hinge on just two essential qualities — and without them, relationships are likely doomed. Listen to find out what they are. https://www.businessinsider.com/lasting-relationships-rely-on-2-traits-2014-11 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Liat and her sister Talia sit down with Dr. Maya Shankar, cognitive scientist, former Senior Advisor and founder of the White House Behavioral Science Team, Head of Behavioral Economics at Google, host of A Slight Change of Plans, and author of The Other Side of Change.Maya shares how she landed in rooms that didn't even have a role for her yet (BCBAs, take notes), and opens up about losing the identity she built as a Juilliard-trained violinist after a career-ending injury. We unpack why change is so threatening to our sense of self, why our brains hate uncertainty, and how to build a “soft landing” when life makes other plans.Liat also shares her own story of navigating serious health struggles and letting go of what she thought her career was going to look like. We talk identity, loss, growth, Love Is Blind takes, and why you are so much more than what you do.Maya's new book, The Other Side of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans, is out now - click the link below to get your copy!Behavior Concepts Covered:PairingReinforcement Antecedent Consequence Contingency Variable ratio schedule High response effort Connect with Dr. Maya:Order Maya's book and join our book club on Mar 10th!Listen to a Slight Change of PlansInstagramYoutubeXSubstackMayaShankar.comConnect with Behavior BitchesInsta: @behaviorbitchespodcastFacebook: Behavior Bitches PodcastWebsite: BehaviorBitches.comContact Us: For podcast inquiries, episode ideas, or just to say hi, email us at behaviorbitches@studynotesaba.com Leave us a 5-star review in the Apple Podcast App so we can read it to everyone during our episodes and make us super happy!Looking for BCBA Exam Prep or CEUs?• Whether you need help passing the BCBA exam or are looking to earn CEUs, Study Notes ABA has you covered.

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – The UNFCCC was fundamentally flawed right from the start. It assumed there was a climate problem, even though IPCC, launched two years earlier, had not yet established that there actually was one. And it gave China and other developing countries, now the greatest source of emissions, an opt-out clause so that...

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight as he dismantles the modern definition of a "hero," arguing that being great at guitar or physics doesn't make you heroic—it just makes you talented. He takes a detour to roast "moron" pizza reviewers before diving into the terrifying existential threat of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the simulation of human brains, warning that AI could eventually rewrite its own code and end civilization. Finally, Lionel exposes the "Uni-party" illusion of American politics, rails against the dangers of Central Bank Digital Currencies, and explains why your cable news diet is nothing more than intellectual fast food.

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight for a mind-bending journey through the political, the macabre, and the absurd. On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Lionel conducts a controversial thought experiment to dismantle the modern definition of a "hero," asking if Donald Trump or even a trained police dog truly qualifies. He delivers his signature "garbanzo journalism" to tackle deep-state conspiracies, from the MLK assassination and Building 7 to the inconsistencies in Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy and the "dog of a case" surrounding Charlie Kirk. The conversation takes a dark turn into the future of mortality, exploring futuristic "Sarco" suicide pods, Chinese "organ vans," and the terrifying threat of Artificial General Intelligence rewriting its own code to end civilization. Between debates on selling your own kidney and the "Uni-party" illusion, Lionel finds time to roast "moron" pizza reviewers, moms dancing on social media, and the "overrated" legacy of Hunter S. Thompson. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's "Ventilation Friday" on The Other Side of Midnight, and Lionel is reclaiming the "nutso hour" from the critics who dismiss overnight radio listeners as the "flotsam and jetsam" of humanity. In this episode, Lionel dissects the history and weaponization of the label "crazy"—from the demonology of Mesopotamia and the horrors of Bedlam to the CIA's psychic "Operation Stargate" and the subjectivity of the DSM. He tackles modern controversies like Candace Owens' time-travel theories and the "mental illness" of political dissent, while debunking myths about Tourette's and "Berserker" Vikings.

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight as he delves into the "psychiatric underbelly" of society, questioning whether we have criminalized mental illness or simply misunderstood it. Listen in as Lionel spars with callers about the fine line between spiritual possession and schizophrenia, debating whether our personalities come from the soul or just a slide on a neurochemical mixing board. The conversation takes a turn into the digital afterlife, exploring the creepiness of active Facebook pages for the deceased and receiving voicemails from beyond the grave. Plus, Lionel dissects the "instinct for attribution" that created religion, explains why praying for a baseball team is blasphemy, and offers unsentimental dating advice: forget romance—marriage is a business, so run a credit report before you say "I do".

Join Lionel on this edition of The Other Side of Midnight as he reclaims the "nutso hour" for "Ventilation Friday," dissecting the history and weaponization of the label "crazy".

The lines are open for a raw, unfiltered session as listeners share harrowing stories of hallucinations and self-mutilation, sparking debates on whether these crises are caused by high-potency cannabis, neurochemistry, or demonic possession. Finally, the conversation turns to the digital afterlife, the blasphemy of sports prayers, and unsentimental dating advice: forget romance—marriage is a business, so run a credit report before you say "I do".

Dr. Maya Shankar is a cognitive scientist, host of the podcast “A Slight Change of Plans,” and author of “The Other Side of Change.” This conversation explores the challenge of navigating involuntary change, whether it's injury, loss, or a future that suddenly collapses. We discuss identity and attachment, the illusion of control, why our brains resist uncertainty, the end of history illusion, rumination, and practical tools to help us see change not as a burden—but as a revelation. Maya also opens up about her own identity crises, a career-ending injury at 15, and later pregnancy losses that forced her to confront who she was beyond her deepest aspirations. Change is coming for all of us, whether we like it or not. Maya's goal is to give you the companion you need along the way. Enjoy!

Have you ever felt terrified of change… not just because life is shifting, but because you feel like you're shifting with it? I know that feeling well — and this week's conversation opened my heart and mind in such a profound way. In this week's episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Dr. Maya Shankar, a renowned cognitive scientist whose work sits at the intersection of identity, behavior, and human transformation. Maya is the Senior Director of Behavioral Economics at Google, the creator and host of the award-winning podcast A Slight Change of Plans, and the former Senior Policy Advisor in the Obama White House. She founded and chaired the White House Social and Behavioral Sciences Team and later became the first Behavioral Science Advisor to the United Nations. Maya's new book, The Other Side of Change, is a stunning blend of research and storytelling. In our conversation, we explore why change can feel so destabilizing, how our brains are wired to resist uncertainty, and what happens when the identities we've clung to suddenly fall away. Maya shares vulnerably about losing the violin career she spent her childhood building, and later, facing the grief and identity questions that came with unexpected challenges around motherhood. We also dive into some of the most fascinating ideas from her work — like why we mistakenly believe we're “done changing,” how awe and moral beauty can completely redirect our lives, and a simple 5-minute practice that can ground us when we feel unmoored. We talk about the stories we inherit, the ones we outgrow, and the courage it takes to imagine ourselves beyond old definitions.  In a world where CHANGE is the only constant, Maya's work is a lighthouse.  This conversation is honest, expansive, and full of insight. If you're navigating transition, grieving a path that didn't unfold, questioning your identity, or simply curious about who you're becoming… this episode is for you. Key Moments You'll Love ✨:

Maya Shankar joins Guy Kawasaki to unpack the psychology of change—why it rattles us, how it reshapes identity, and what helps people emerge stronger on the other side. Drawing from research, lived experience, and her book The Other Side of Change, Maya challenges the idea that growth comes easily and offers a grounded, human approach to navigating uncertainty without clichés.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight as he ventures into the deep woods of the Hudson Valley to confront the age-old mystery of Bigfoot. Drawing on reports from local researcher Gail Batty—who claims these creatures are interdimensional, camouflaged, and living among us—Lionel challenges the skeptics who demand high-definition photographic evidence while blindly accepting other unproven beliefs like religion. From tales of "banshee" screams and dumpster-diving cryptids to the psychology of pareidolia, Lionel questions where the line between delusion and reality truly lies, asking why we need proof for a hairy biped but not for the Almighty.

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight for a dive into the ultimate questions of existence, stripping away the "hippie dippy" nonsense to get to the core of critical thinking. Lionel challenges the "long gradual ladder" of evolution with the sudden complexity of the Cambrian explosion and the "irreducible complexity" of biological machines. From debating "Christian by birth" labels to analyzing the "God gene" and the passing of Dilbert creator Scott Adams, no topic is off-limits. Whether discussing the physics of the universe or why George Burns made a great Deity, Lionel argues that actions speak louder than dogma—and he'd rather "lick a belt sander" than talk about boring news stories.

Buckle up for a wild ride on The Other Side of Midnight. It begins with a fiery "Warrior Wednesday" as Lionel and Lynn Shaw declare war on Big Tech, exposing the "digital harms" creating an anxious generation and calling for bans on social media for minors. The conversation then takes a sharp turn into the Hudson Valley woods to hunt for Bigfoot, where Lionel asks why skeptics demand HD photos of Sasquatch but not of the Almighty. Finally, dive into the legend of the Jersey Devil, debate the logic of Noah's Ark versus the Cambrian explosion, and strip away the "hippie dippy" nonsense of existence—because Lionel would rather "lick a belt sander" than talk about boring news.

In this eclectic hour of The Other Side of Midnight, Lionel argues that romantic love is essentially a form of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, citing neurological studies where magnetic stimulation triggered feelings of intense romance. He explores the inexplicable nature of intuition, asking why Saturdays "look different" and how babies and animals sense vibrations. The conversation shifts to the ethics of using technology to artificially manufacture faith or erase traumatic memories before listeners steer the dialogue toward the bizarre practice of consuming placentas—or turning them into shampoo. Finally, Lionel dissects the psychology of the "compulsive gambler," moving from high-stakes bets based on astrology to the childhood gateway drug of flipping baseball cards, ending with a look at how he outsmarts ChatGPT's censorship.

Jackson Mayor John Horhn gives an update on city issues to "The Other Side," including an arrest in the Beth Israel Congregation arson attack, the latest on the water system, the search for a new police chief as crime rates move in a positive direction and what the city hopes to get from the state legislative session. Hohrn says there are many challenges ahead for the state's capital city, and "We are a city that is a prototype for what ails America."

Who are you when the thing that defined you is taken away? What happens when the life you planned no longer exists? How do you grieve a future that never happened? Can uncertainty become a place of growth instead of fear? In this deeply moving episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with cognitive scientist and author Dr. Maya Shankar for an honest conversation about identity, loss, and navigating life’s most unexpected transitions. Dr. Maya is the author of The Other Side of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans, a book rooted in both science and lived experience. Maya shares the story of her childhood as a violin prodigy — accepted into Juilliard at nine and studying under Itzhak Perlman — until a career-ending injury at fifteen forced her to grieve not just the violin, but the version of herself she thought she would be. She opens up about how losing the violin meant losing her confidence, her identity, and the future she had built her entire life around. She also speaks candidly about her fertility journey, including miscarriage, surrogacy, and the realization that some desires are shaped by cultural expectations of womanhood. Maya reflects on how choosing to pause her path to motherhood brought unexpected peace and clarity. Radhi shares her own experiences of identity loss — from moving to New York and no longer being able to practice as a clinical dietitian, to navigating grief after the peaceful passing of her grandmother. Together, they explore how identity can unravel when the “what” of our lives changes, and why anchoring ourselves in why we do things allows us to evolve without losing ourselves. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why identity rooted in roles and achievements is fragile How grief shows up when we lose a future we imagined The difference between what you do and why you do it Why humans crave certainty — and how to live without it How to find safety in community instead of clear answers What the “end of history illusion” reveals about personal growth How mental time travel can help ease anxiety and fear Why witnessing human goodness can restore hope and meaning This episode is a gentle reminder that change doesn’t mean something went wrong — sometimes it means life is asking you to become more than you planned.

Well, the TOTS, uh, tots crown is currently highly contested between Johnny's and Beefy King... which, I mean has royalty in the title already. So just listen, okay?

Dr. Maya Shankar experienced devastating identity loss twice. First, a sudden injury ended her dreams of becoming a professional violinist; later, repeated miscarriages shattered her vision of motherhood. These losses forced her to confront how deeply she had tied her self-worth to specific roles and imagined futures. Drawing from cognitive science and human psychology, she learned to redefine her identity beyond self-imposed labels. In this episode, Maya explores the psychology of change, revealing why we experience “identity paralysis” when unexpected changes occur, and how we can use that to our advantage.

Beautiful soul, this episode is for anyone who wants to understand what really happens on the Other Side, feel less fear about death, and remember how deeply loved and guided you are. Julie is joined by Heather Vandermeyden, author of Miracles From the Other Side, who shares her extraordinary story of spending three weeks in intensive care and having more than 20 experiences of leaving her body. Heather speaks about angels ministering inside hospitals, God's presence, soul agreements, the way time works differently beyond the veil, and the healing love that carried her through a 4% chance of survival. This conversation goes far beyond surface-level NDE stories. Heather shares what she saw, what she felt, and what she learned about love, service, purpose, and how souls are connected across lifetimes. She also shares how her experiences shaped her life after returning, including the powerful moment she recognized her future children's souls and later adopted them through foster care.

John talks about the massive protests over the killing of Renee Nicole Good. Bodycam footage of her murder was leaked to right wing media by ICE in an apparent effort to back up their claims she was a violent domestic terrorist. Instead the video shows the last moments of Good's life and her last words to ICE agents “That's fine, dude, we're not mad at you,” as well as the ICE agent calling her a “fucking bitch” after firing the shots that killed her. Then, he interviews Dr. Maya Shankar who is a cognitive scientist and the creator, executive producer, and host of the podcast, "A Slight Change of Plans". They discuss her forthcoming book "The Other Side of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans". And then last but not least - TV's Frank Conniff returns to joke with John and listeners about current politics, pop culture, and the world of Trumplandia.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Dr. Hickey shows that, if you apply ECCC's trend analysis method to their data, you find an increase of 1.74° C from 1948 to 2018. And then, he tells us, if you correct for the one-degree step increase in 1998, you find only a 0.29°C rise. That small change “is indistinguishable from zero,” explains Hickey. “There is no evidence of warming.”

She's also a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music's pre-college program. And most recently, Maya is the author of the book, The Other Side of Change. In this episode we discuss the following: I loved Maya's insight about identity. When she injured her finger and could no longer play the violin, she was devastated because she identified as a violinist. But when she looked more broadly at the motivations that drove her, she realized that connection, growth, care, and contribution were underlying motivations. And violin wasn't the only way to accomplish her ultimate goals. By anchoring our identity to deeper motivations rather than specific roles or activities, we create a more resilient sense of self while also creating more opportunities for us to achieve our goals.
