Podcasts about paradoxes

On this episode of Lipps Service, Scott sits down with The Paradox for a fast-paced, nostalgia-packed conversation that traces the band's meteoric rise to fame, beginning with Eric's early days, the origins of the group, and their influences: from Blink-182 to New Found Glory. They openly reflect on getting kicked out of his first band and the evolution of pop-punk. The band recounts their viral breakthrough, including a surprising DM from Jack White's team, and introduces listeners to Percy while discussing the moment they quit their day jobs to pursue music full-time. They dive into building community and sharing wild stories involving Lil Nas X, Billie Joe Armstrong, and even Subaru. This episode is not one to miss on Lipps Service.

Burning Bright is joined by Jonathan Drake for a layered discussion examining the internal contradictions, strengths, and unresolved tensions within the MAGA movement. Using historical framing and legal philosophy, they explore how a movement rooted in anti-establishment energy can simultaneously empower and constrain itself through misplaced trust, narrative dependency, and emotional investment in outcomes rather than principles. Jonathan draws on themes from The No Treason Podcast, natural law, and jury sovereignty to explain why centralized authority, even when rhetorically aligned with the people, ultimately conflicts with self-governance. Together, they unpack why many supporters struggle to reconcile loyalty to leaders with resistance to systems, how psychological operations exploit hope and fear, and why decentralization of responsibility is essential for real sovereignty. The episode challenges listeners to rethink victory, accountability, and agency, arguing that the future depends less on who holds power and more on whether people are willing to hold it themselves.

In this episode of The HR Digi Podcast - now relaunched in English - Anna Carlsson breaks down the Nordic Paradox: why one of the world’s most digitally advanced regions still struggles with HR tech, AI adoption, and digital maturity. Despite strong digital skills and infrastructure, the Nordics rank low in AI usage, HR system readiness, and data-driven decision making. Anna explores cultural barriers, vendor limitations, governance gaps and what HR leaders can do to accelerate progress and move from interest to real impact.

Most chiropractors plateau for reasons that have nothing to do with marketing, money, or motivation.The real problem? They get trapped in one of two extremes: blind optimism or defeated realism. In this episode, we explore the Stockdale Paradox—a mindset framework that helps you hold unshakeable faith in your vision while confronting the brutal facts of your current reality. You’ll learn how this paradox shows up in the three core problems facing every chiropractic practice—no one knows you, no one stays, and no time—and how to use it to create more clarity, stability, and predictable growth. If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or unsure of your next step, this episode will show you the mindset shift that breaks the cycle.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when your brand has a million different voices speaking to a million different customers? Is that the pinnacle of personalization, or is it just brand chaos? Agility requires both the speed to personalize content for every individual as well as the control to ensure every one of those interactions faithfully represents the core brand. Today, we're going to talk about resolving one of the biggest paradoxes in modern marketing: achieving hyper-personalization at massive scale, without sacrificing brand governance and consistency. We'll explore how generative AI is moving from a creative novelty to a core operational engine for enterprise marketing, enabling brands to craft unique stories for every customer, while ensuring they all sing from the same hymn sheet.

Put on your spacesuit - we're headed to the moon with this conversation.Today, I get INTO IT with Giana Cerasia about anti-binary leadership, rejecting niche culture, long-term inner work, and creating containers that hold the full complexity of being human. Giana walks listeners through her work all rooted in playing with paradox. Sexy as fuck.Themes from the episode:How businesses function like nervous systems, and why most leaders unintentionally exile the parts of themselves that hold their best answers.The myth of “either/or” thinking in strategy, and how giving yourself space to download and take risks creates better products and better leadership.Why Giana refuses to niche down, convince people, and chooses to work only with those who deeply get it. Very "IYKYK" energyThe evolution of Ravish and how it helps people build capacity, face discomfort daily, and integrate complexity over time.The heart of Kitchen Table Sauce: conversations that simmer, shift, and unfold in real time, inviting listeners into taboo, messy, nonlinear, non-clarity-seeking dialogue. HOT.If you crave leadership that honors your complexity, business that mirrors your humanity, and community spaces where nothing gets bypassed (bye 2020), this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Giana's work is an invitation to jump into abyss and have a damn good time doing it.Connect with Giana:InstagramKitchen Table Sauce Podcast on Spotify + Apple PodcastsRavish WaitlistFree Women's CircleAnd/Also Strategy StudioMore portalsConnect with Chelsea:

In many Western classrooms, the mobile phone is viewed as the "forbidden fruit", a primary source of distraction that must be banned, confiscated, or locked away in magnetic pouches. Teachers and parents alike are exhausted by the constant battle over "screen time," whilst struggling to engage students in an education system that hasn't evolved in decades. Lectures are often unengaging, leading students to drift away, yet we blame the device rather than the delivery. Is this prohibitive approach a catastrophic mistake? Stephen Hodges warns that Western nations risk being "digitally leapfrogged" by developing economies. In regions like rural Uganda or Brazil, the student's personal mobile is not a toy; it is a lifeline to quality education amidst a massive shortage of qualified teachers. By demonising the technology our children use most, we risk missing "the biggest opportunity in education that we've seen in millennia". Furthermore, focusing solely on restricting minutes creates unnecessary conflict at home, failing to teach the critical self-regulation skills young people desperately need. This episode of The EdTech Podcast offers a way forward by shifting the narrative from "Screen Time" to "Screen Purpose". Philippa Wraithmell sits down with three experts to explore how we can embrace technology rather than fight it: •    Stephen Hodges (Efekta): Reveals how AI teaching assistants on personal phones are solving the teacher shortage crisis and delivering personalised learning in emerging markets. •    Adam Huh Dam (Stick 'Em): Demonstrates how STEAM education is reaching the most remote areas using nothing but smartphones and internet access. •    Payal Patel (Digital Bridge): Provides actionable strategies for parents to build "digital confidence" and healthy boundaries at home without the conflict. Tune in to discover why the device in your pocket might just be the most powerful educational asset we have.

This week on Truth to Power, we bring you a community conversation about one of Kentucky's most notorious antislavery slaveholders! "Cassius Marcellus Clay: The Life of an Antislavery Slaveholder and the Paradox of American Reform" was the topic of discussion at the Filson Historical Society's Gertrude Polk Brown Lecture Series on the evening of Thursday, December 4, 2025 at the Kentucky Center for Performing Arts' Bomhard Theater. Cassius Marcellus Clay, a fiery nineteenth-century Kentucky antislavery reformer, was both admired and despised. A duelist, newspaperman, and ally of Lincoln, he fought slavery's expansion while still enslaving people himself. Historian Anne E. Marshall's biography reexamines Clay as emblematic of white Americans who opposed slavery's economics more than its injustice. By portraying Clay's contradictions, Marshall reveals why emancipation required war and why true racial equality faced enduring resistance. Marshall is an associate professor of history at Mississippi State University and on December 4th she was in conversation with the Filson's President, Dr. Patrick Lewis, who fielded audience questions. Watch the event at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRSKtIEte_8 On Truth to Power each week, we gather people from around the community to discuss the state of the world, the nation, the state, and the city! It's a community conversation like you won't hear anywhere else! Truth to Power airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 4pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at https://forwardradio.org

Wall Street hits record highs - but one AI stock just triggered a brutal reality check. US markets rally even as fears of an AI bubble intensify, after Oracle plunges on weak earnings and heavy debt taken on to fund its AI ambitions. Michelle Martin and Ryan Huang unpack why Oracle’s so-called “Code Red” moment has investors questioning the sustainability of AI infrastructure spending, especially with OpenAI as a key client. They also turn to Broadcom, where booming AI chip sales fail to lift the stock, raising fresh questions about valuation, expectations and sentiment. Back home, DBS turns bullish on Singapore developers, lifting targets for CDL, UOL and GuocoLand - but are the buy calls justified? In UP or DOWN, fists fly at PDD during a China audit, Hongkong Land and Keppel REIT reshuffle MBFC, Seatrium lands a major green-energy contract, and noodle maker Leong Guan debuts strong. Plus, Disney’s billion-dollar bet on OpenAI sparks a lighter question on which iconic characters could soon come alive in AI - hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Adaptability Paradox: Political Inclusion and Constitutional Resilience (U Chicago Press, 2025) is a complex and important analysis of the American constitutional system, of the U.S. Constitution itself, and the way that pressures on that system have pushed and pulled on the institutions of government, federalism, and ultimately democracy. Stephen Skowronek, the Pelatiah Perit Professor of Political and Social Science at Yale University, continues his work and exploration of the viability of the constitutional system in the United States in this new book, following on the 2022 book: Phantoms of a Beleaguered Republic (with John Dearborn and Desmond King, Oxford University Press, 2022). Skowronek traces the shifts and adaptations of the constitutional system as it contended with waves of democratization, with the anti-bellum expansion of voting rights for all white men, to the post-Civil War period and the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, through the advocacy at the turn of the 19th century for labor and gender reforms, and then the advent of the Administrative state in the middle of the 20th century, and finally through the Civil Rights/Women's Rights/Sexual Revolution/Disability Rights period of the 1960s and 1970s. Part of the argument is that the system itself adapted, becoming more democratic and inclusive with regard to particular groups while at the same time loosening up the constitutional system as a whole. Even with these democratic advances over the course of 250 years, each iterative cycle also tended to exclude other groups of citizens. This tension—with the extension of rights to groups who had been excluded, only to have other groups excluded to keep this ballast of the system—goes to the heart of the promise of democracy within this constitutional system. And we find ourselves with the Constitution under significant stress, with the growth and implementation of substantial presidentialism and an undue dependence on judicial supremacy, leaving the structures of the system potentially unmoored from the very document and ideas that created the system itself. This also gets at the apparent loss of consensus around the idea of the United States, the lack of a common vision of a great commercial republic, which was at the heart of the American Founding. Skowronek also notes that the U.S. Constitution is particularly inept at pursuing social justice, especially within the context of the common vision of a great commercial republic. The Adaptability Paradox is a vitally important book examining the current constitutional dismay in which we find ourselves and provides the historical and political paths that brought us here. We learn a great deal about the tensions between democracy and the American constitutional system—which have been at the heart of the U.S. system since the early days of the republic, but have become much more attenuated of late, with a general lack of consensus around the purpose of constitutional system itself.

The red flowered plant that shows up everywhere at this time of year–I saw a forest of them in Wegman's this morning– is called in Mexico the cuetlaxochitl, or the noche buena; but Americans know it by as the namesake of man who introduced it to the United States: poinsettia. Yet Joel Roberts Poinsett was a more interesting organism than that plant given his name. He was a South Carolinian who spent years away from the state, and was a committed nationalist and anti-nullifier; a world traveller when few Americans were; a slaveowner who other slaveowners regarded as potentially anti-slavery; an international investor who also labored for South Carolina local improvements; a diplomat who spent years if not decades trying to find a way to be a soldier. And that's leaving a few facets of his identity out.

The red flowered plant that shows up everywhere at this time of year–I saw a forest of them in Wegman's this morning– is called in Mexico the cuetlaxochitl, or the noche buena; but Americans know it by as the namesake of man who introduced it to the United States: poinsettia. Yet Joel Roberts Poinsett was a more interesting organism than that plant given his name. He was a South Carolinian who spent years away from the state, and was a committed nationalist and anti-nullifier; a world traveller when few Americans were; a slaveowner who other slaveowners regarded as potentially anti-slavery; an international investor who also labored for South Carolina local improvements; a diplomat who spent years if not decades trying to find a way to be a soldier. And that's leaving a few facets of his identity out.

The cross is the greatest paradox in history. It looked like defeat—but it was the ultimate triumph. It looked like weakness—but it shattered the power of sin and death. It looked like shame—but it crowned Jesus with glory. In this episode, I explore how the cross confronts every worldly definition of success, power, and identity—and why it remains the central symbol of the Christian life. From first-century scandal to present-day distortion, we'll examine what it means to embrace the way of the cross in a culture obsessed with platform, applause, and self-preservation. Because the Gospel doesn't promise comfort—it promises crucifixion. But on the other side of the cross… is resurrection.

On this week's Mean Age Daydream, Brian debates what to do about the danger of AI, and how we are trapped in a damned-if-you-do / damned-if-you-don't paradox. Also, Thomas Massie intros a bill to leave NATO, and Randi Weingarten is a horrible person.

A down-to-earth conversation about what truly drives motivation and why passion alone isn't always the answer.In this episode of Chatting with Betsy, Betsy talks with Dr. Bobby Hoffman about his new book, The Paradox of Passion: How Rewards Covertly Control Motivation. They discuss why passion can be wonderful, but why depending too much on passion can create problems. They also talk about the book cover and the icons that represent different parts of motivation.Betsy asks Dr. Hoffman if anger can ever turn into passion, something that connects to her own journey after Matt's diagnosis of Early Onset Alzheimer's. Dr. Hoffman shares thoughtful insight and even talks about writing a book in honor of his son. This is a very helpful conversation for anyone who wants a better understanding of what really drives our behavior. Dr. Hoffman explains how the brain's reward system works, why rewards get misunderstood, and how passion can sometimes lead to burnout.His website includes free resources and an audio preview of the first chapter.

All of us think we know what addiction looks like. It's the compulsive consumption of drugs, alcohol, or nicotine. But psychiatrist Anna Lembke argues that our conception of addiction is far too narrow — and that a broader understanding of addiction might help us to understand why so many people are anxious and depressed. This week, we revisit a 2023 episode that remains of the most popular in the history of our show. We'll explore how and why humans are wired to pursue pleasure, and all the ways the modern world tempts us with addictive substances and behaviors.Looking for the perfect holiday gift for the Hidden Brain fan in your life?

Power Dynamics in Boston and the Paradox of Slavery — Nathaniel Philbrick — In Boston, Washington asserted the supreme constitutional authority of the presidency over state governors by refusing John Hancock's dinner invitation until Hancock paid his respects by visiting Washington first, establishing hierarchical political precedent. Despite this political victory establishing executive supremacy, Washington suffered from the "Washington flu" and appeared physically diminished during his public appearances. Philbrick transitions to examining America's "tortured beginning" regarding slavery, detailing Washington's relentless pursuit of Ona Judge, an enslaved woman who courageously fled to New Hampshire. This historical episode exposes the fundamental contradiction between Washington's theoretical opposition to slavery and his actual conduct as a slaveholder, a paradox that foreshadowed the American Civil War and influenced subsequent historical figures like Robert E. Lee. 1789

China's monumental effort to plant nearly 200 billion trees since the 1970s is now facing a critical test. Scientists have discovered that these vast new forests, a cornerstone of the fight against climate change, are severely impacting water resources. This urgent challenge has spurred the country to lead a global shift toward "water-smart forestry," adapting its strategy for a world where every drop counts. On the show: Steve, Fei Fei & Yushan

Why is it that we can call five friends when something goes wrong… but hesitate to call even one when something goes right? Today, we're unpacking the complicated dance between vulnerability, celebration, and connection. Who are the people in your life who can hold your hard moments and cheer for your wins without shrinking? In this conversation, Jessica and Kelly explore the dynamics of friendships, particularly focusing on the tendency to share good and bad news. They discuss the societal pressures surrounding vulnerability and the celebration of personal achievements, emphasizing the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive individuals. The conversation concludes with a call to embrace an abundance mindset and celebrate wins together. Inside This Conversation:  The number of friends you call with good news is often smaller than those you call with bad news. Many people fear sharing good news due to concerns about jealousy or being perceived as bragging. Vulnerability is key in friendships, allowing for deeper connections. It's easier to share bad news than good news for many individuals. Cultural norms often discourage celebrating personal achievements, labeling it as bragging. Surrounding oneself with supportive friends can foster a healthier environment for sharing successes. The concept of 'candle blower outers' highlights the importance of uplifting each other. There is an abundance of happiness and success available for everyone. Celebrating wins is essential for personal growth and happiness. It's important to be mindful of others' emotional states when sharing good news.

BT & Sal kick off the show by celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Juan Soto signing, arguing that winning the offseason doesn't guarantee a successful season. The focus quickly shifts to the Winter Meetings and a report on David Stearns' reluctance to give out long-term deals to free agent starting pitchers. Sal defends Stearns' strategy, preferring to chase Tarik Skubal via trade or pursue Michael King over overpaying non-aces like Framber Valdez. The hosts debate whether the Mets can afford to lose Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz if Stearns' plan to build a "better" team doesn't include massive free-agent contracts. The conversation takes a sharp turn as they discuss the Diddy documentary on Netflix, with Sal questioning whether the hip-hop mogul was responsible for Tupac's death, and noting the lack of payment to artists. The show wraps up with calls debating the Mets' potential pursuit of Kyle Schwarber and Jeff McNeil's "petulant" behavior, with the hosts wondering if a new-look team could function without their "Core Four."

Message from Hunter Hambrick on December 7, 2025

This weekend's Coffee House Shots digs into the growing debate over whether Keir Starmer should tack left on the economy as voters peel away to the Greens and Lib Dems – and why some in Labour think its migration stance is now more popular with their own voters than ever. Are Labour tacking left? But beyond policy, a deeper question looms: is Westminster's obsession with ‘super-advisers' drowning out the government's message? Tom Baldwin argues that leaks, briefing wars and the hunt for the next ‘power-behind-the-throne' are undermining Labour's ability to tell a coherent story, while Tim Shipman asks why Starmer still struggles to communicate the values that drive him.James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Tom Baldwin, Keir Starmer's biographer.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Most people think confidence is about believing you'll succeed. Mark Manson knows better — it's about being comfortable with failure. After writing one of the best-selling nonfiction books of all time and spending nearly two decades studying human psychology, the author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck has cracked the code on why Gen Z is struggling with relationships, why therapy culture might be making us worse, and why your emotions are a system that needs managing just like your business. In this raw conversation, Mark breaks down the alarming statistics behind today's confidence crisis, why dating apps are optimizing for all the wrong things, and how adopting labels as identity actually amplifies your problems. We dive deep into the hidden costs of success, why the happiest country in the world has low expectations, and the brutal truth about why 20-25% of Gen Z has cut off at least one parent. He reveals why AI therapy is both promising and dangerous, the single question that exposes red flags on first dates, and why marrying well is the highest leverage decision of your entire life. But this isn't just about what's broken — it's about what actually works. Mark explains why failure is the only currency that matters, how to stop being a people pleaser without being a dick, and why your bank account reflects the difficult conversations you're willing to have. If you've ever felt like you're chasing happiness instead of meaning, or if you want to build real confidence that comes from action instead of affirmation, this episode will change how you think about success, relationships, and the problems you're willing to have in your life.
