Podcasts about Participation

Before there were relationships, there was adaptation. Before there were marriages, there was adaptation. Before there were families, civilizations, languages, philosophies, religions, identities, cultures, nations, and histories, there was adaptation. Existence itself rests upon a single uncompromising principle: Everything that lives must continuously adjust to what is. Nothing receives exemption. Stars adapt to gravitational forces. Forests adapt to seasons. Species adapt to environments. Consciousness adapts to experience. Life itself survives through perpetual negotiation with reality. Only the human ego attempts a different strategy. It attempts permanence. It attempts certainty. It attempts preservation. It attempts to freeze living things into familiar forms and then calls that stability. This may explain one of the greatest tragedies in intimate relationships. Many people do not fall in love with a person. They fall in love with a version. A snapshot. A moment. A psychological photograph taken during a particular season of someone's evolution. Years later they discover the photograph has changed. The ambitions changed. The fears changed. The values changed. The body changed. The dreams changed. The identity changed. And suddenly what should have been expected feels like betrayal. Not because transformation occurred. Because transformation was never included in the original agreement. The relationship begins suffering from a silent disease. Not incompatibility. Not conflict. Not communication problems. The disease is the expectation that life should stop moving. Yet life never agreed to such a contract. Every intimate relationship eventually becomes a confrontation with the most fundamental law of existence: Nothing living remains the same. The deepest form of love may therefore have very little to do with possession, agreement, compatibility, romance, chemistry, or even commitment. It may involve something far more difficult. Participation. The willingness to remain present while another human being becomes. Not who you expected. Not who you prefer. Not who you originally chose. But who life is continuously revealing. This is where rigidity enters the story. Most people misunderstand rigidity. Rigidity is not strength. Rigidity is fear attempting to negotiate with impermanence. A boundary protects what is essential. Rigidity protects what is familiar. A boundary serves growth. Rigidity resists growth. A boundary preserves integrity. Rigidity preserves certainty. One creates intimacy. The other slowly suffocates it. The irony feels almost unbearable. Many people spend years defending what they call standards, principles, values, self-respect, masculinity, femininity, tradition, or boundaries. Underneath the language often sits something much older. Fear. The fear that adaptation will require grief. Because adaptation always demands the death of something. A belief. An expectation. A certainty. An identity. A story. A version of ourselves. A version of our partner. Love therefore asks for a sacrifice few people anticipate. Not the sacrifice of self. The sacrifice of illusion. The illusion that the person beside you can remain unchanged while everything else in existence continues evolving. This becomes even more complicated when childhood wounds enter the relationship. An abandoned child becomes an adult demanding certainty. A neglected child becomes an adult demanding emotional guarantees. A rejected child becomes an adult demanding constant validation. The wound incurs the debt. The partner receives the invoice. What began as pain becomes expectation. Expectation becomes entitlement. Entitlement becomes rigidity. Rigidity becomes relational gravity. The relationship slowly bends around old injuries rather than present reality. Two people stop meeting each other. They begin negotiating with ghosts. One partner speaks from today. The other responds from twenty years ago. One partner changes. The other interprets the change as abandonment. One partner evolves. The other experiences evolution as betrayal. Neither understands the actual conflict. The argument appears relational. The conflict is ontological. Reality keeps moving. Someone is trying to stop it. Daoist philosophy recognized this thousands of years ago. Water never argues with the riverbed. Water never demands permanence. Water never mistakes form for essence. It changes continuously while remaining completely itself. Rain. Mist. Ice. River. Ocean. Different expressions. Same nature. Healthy love functions the same way. Its essence remains while its expression evolves. The couples who survive decades together may not possess superior communication skills. They may not possess superior compatibility. They may simply understand a truth that many never discover: Love is not measured by how tightly you hold on. Love is measured by how truthfully you participate in another person's becoming. Can you update your understanding as quickly as life updates the person you love? Can you release outdated versions of them before resentment builds a shrine around them? Can you remain curious where others become certain? Can you remain present where others become controlling? Can you bless evolution where others call it betrayal? Because eventually every intimate relationship arrives at the same doorway. On one side stands certainty. On the other stands life. You cannot hold both. The person who chooses certainty eventually loses intimacy. The person who chooses life discovers that adaptation was never the enemy. Adaptation was love's highest form of intelligence. And perhaps its most sacred expression.

You've done the work. You've softened limiting beliefs, raised your perspective, and learned to navigate manifestation events with greater awareness. Now what?

For years, child care marketing followed a pretty familiar formula: build a beautiful website, drive traffic, collect reviews, book tours, and convert families once they walk through the door. But in 2026, that path just is not as neat or predictable as it used to be. Families are researching differently, AI is changing how information gets found, and many parents are making decisions long before they ever visit a school in person.   In this episode, Jennifer sits down with Parissa Snider, Chief Marketing Officer at WatchMeGrow, for a conversation that goes far beyond ads and websites. Together, they talk about trust, transparency, parent psychology, and what the full family experience now says about your brand, from the first search to the tour to the follow-up after. This episode is a fresh look at what enrollment and marketing really mean now, and why the schools that build trust most clearly are the ones families are more likely to choose.   Key Takeaways: [5:45] Marketing now lives inside the full family experience, not just in ads or website clicks. [6:10] Parents are increasingly getting answers from AI before they ever visit a school's website. [8:10] The old marketing funnel is no longer linear and has become a messy back-and-forth decision process. [8:33] Lower website traffic does not always mean lower interest if families are still converting further down the path. [10:08] Schools need website content that helps AI understand and surface real information about who they are. [12:10] FAQs matter more than ever when they answer the actual questions families are really asking. [13:01] Transparency around difficult topics is becoming a stronger trust-builder, not a liability. [15:05] In many cases, pricing transparency creates more confidence than withholding information. [19:02] The strongest websites speak to parents' fears and needs, not just the school's features. [21:11] Families want the curtain pulled back and are more likely to trust schools that show the real experience. [22:55] Trust and reassurance are deeply human needs, which is why communication matters so much in child care. [27:11] Follow-up should uncover hesitation and uncertainty, not just push for the enrollment decision. [31:24] The schools that win will be the ones that reduce uncertainty and build trust at every step. [34:41] Families stay more connected and loyal when they feel like participants instead of observers.   Quotes: "Lower traffic does not always mean lower interest." — Parissa Snider [8:33]   "Transparency equals customers." — Parissa Snider [13:24]   "I think that starting now, consumers are not going to reward only the businesses with the biggest ad budgets. They're going to reward the businesses that reduce uncertainty and make a huge and visible effort to build trust, the ones that have trust in mind in every step of the experience" — Parissa Snider [31:24]   "Participation equals ownership." — Parissa Snider [34:38]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray Jennifer Conner The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: Use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal WatchMeGrow's Free Guide to Marketing 2026 Parissa Snider

When Mayor Zohran Mamdani refused to march in New York City’s Israel Day parade - the first mayor of the city to do so in over 60 years – “did not surprise” Rabbi Josh Weinberg, who participated in the parade. But the liberal Zionist Reform rabbi was surprised to discover that he was marching alongside far-right ministers like Bezalel Smotrich and members of the Kahanist Otzma Yehudit party. Had he known, said Weinberg, Vice President of the URJ for Israel and Reform Zionism, speaking on the Haaretz Podcast, he would’ve held a sign making it clear that “Smotrich’s Zionism does not reflect our ideology at all, and is in fact antithetical to who we are as Jews and Zionists, and even as Americans. His brand of racism, discrimination, xenophobia – everything that he stands for – we want to totally reject while still maintaining our love and support for Israel." Weinberg added that a statement by Smotrich that the New York event resembled the Jerusalem Day flag march – an event regularly marked by harassment and violence towards Palestinians in the city – made him “want to throw up.” Also speaking on the podcast, Haaretz's New York correspondent Etan Nechin said that the Israeli ministers in the parade presented their presence as an “act of defiance by the Israeli Knesset and by the Israeli government” to “show” Mamdani. Assessing the mayor’s relationship with the Jewish community over the first six months of his term, Weinberg praised Mamdani’s initiative to increase spending to secure Jewish institutions with the rise of antisemitism, but regretted his boycott of the parade and his high-profile commemoration of Nakba Day online. Nechin countered with his belief that Mamdani had taken advantage of harnessing his popularity to take advantage of “this sudden historic opportunity to platform and champion Palestinian voices.” Mamdani, he said, “is a symptom of American public opinion – especially young Americans who are having conversations about Israel and Palestine, but not on Israeli or Jewish terms. It’s something that the Jewish community and Israelis will need to contend with.” Read more: Majority of Americans Hold Unfavorable Opinion of Israel as Confidence in Netanyahu Plummets, Pew Survey Finds 'We're Done Apologizing': Inside the Israeli Far Right's Big Weekend Out in New York Mamdani 'Offended' by Participation of Far-right Israeli MKs in Israel Day Parade Nearly Half of Young U.S. Jews Want to Replace Israel With Binational State, Poll Finds How Trump's Second Term Marks the Ascendance of The New Jewish Orthodox RightSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is the Mass a communal meal, or a sacrifice? The Church's answer is that it is both. What do sacrificial offerings have to do with meals, and what does this teach us about the Eucharist?Homily preached on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi (The Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus Christ), June 7, 2026.

What if pilgrimage is not primarily about reaching a destination, but about learning how to be addressed by reality again? In this episode of Lectern Dialogues, John Vervaeke speaks with Ish Peregrino, a practitioner, facilitator, and pilgrim whose very chosen name carries the meaning of pilgrimage. John met Ish during his own pilgrimage in Spain, and their conversation returns to the question of what pilgrimage makes possible: spiritually, psychologically, relationally, and culturally. Ish begins by describing his background in contemplative practice, community work, Latin American and Asian contexts, and his long apprenticeship under a teacher who exposed him to Hindu, Buddhist, Zen, ecological, and indigenous traditions. This opens into a discussion of the "beyond human": the sacred, the more-than-human world, distributed intelligence in community, and the goodness that calls a person toward transformation. The heart of the conversation is pilgrimage. John proposes pilgrimage as a meta-practice: a living practice that places one's whole ecology of practices under a kind of positive stress test. Ish extends this by describing how pilgrimage changes one's environment, identity, pace, attention, and relationship to grief. It is not merely a practice added to life, but a passage that can reshape the life to which one returns. The conversation then contrasts the pilgrim with the tourist and the explorer. Tourism seeks experience and pleasure; exploration seeks conquest, achievement, and control. Pilgrimage, by contrast, is marked by participation, willingness, availability, receptivity, reverence, and deep listening. It is not just movement through space, but a transformation in the way the world is allowed to speak. Toward the end, John and Ish explore pilgrimage's relationship to God, sacredness, memory, dreams, community, and integration. Ish offers one of the conversation's most memorable images: after pilgrimage, the path was still walking him in his dreams. The episode closes with the claim that pilgrimage is not only for the Camino or other famous routes. It is a way of relating differently to what is already around us: with attention, reverence, openness, and love. Key Insights Pilgrimage can function as a meta-practice that renews and tests an ecology of practices. Transformative experiences require humility, discernment, grounding, community, and integration. Tourism, exploration, and pilgrimage represent different forms of attention and agency. The pilgrim is moved less by will than by willingness, availability, and receptivity. Pilgrimage can awaken a deeper relationship to God, sacredness, land, grief, and community.

Welcome to LIFTS, where we explore the future of fitness, wellness, and human performance. In this episode, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal are joined by Dr. Brent Anderson, founder of Polestar Pilates, physical therapist, educator, and one of the most respected voices in the global Pilates industry. Pilates has become one of the fastest-growing categories in fitness. Participation continues to rise, studios are expanding globally, and demand shows little sign of slowing down. Yet despite its popularity, Pilates remains one of the most misunderstood modalities in the industry. This conversation explores why Pilates has experienced such remarkable growth, whether the category is approaching saturation, and what operators, investors, and fitness professionals often misunderstand about the methodology behind its success. Drawing on more than four decades of experience in rehabilitation, movement science, and Pilates education, Dr. Anderson explains how Pilates evolved from a niche practice used primarily by dancers and physical therapists into a global wellness phenomenon. He also shares why he believes the category still has significant room to grow. The discussion dives into the growing role of technology, connected equipment, and performance data within Pilates, and examines how innovation can help operators improve outcomes without losing sight of the principles that made Pilates effective in the first place. The episode also explores one of the most surprising trends in fitness today: younger consumers are increasingly embracing Pilates as part of a broader shift toward wellness, longevity, recovery, and preventative health. As wellness becomes a daily lifestyle rather than an occasional activity, Pilates is finding relevance across new demographics and markets around the world. For fitness operators, studio owners, educators, investors, and wellness professionals, this episode offers a fascinating look at why Pilates continues to grow, what makes it so effective, and where the category may be heading next. In this episode, we cover: Why Pilates continues to grow globally What most people misunderstand about Pilates How technology is changing the Pilates experience Whether the industry is approaching saturation Why Pilates may become a pillar of wellness and healthcare

In this message from our Fundamentals series, Pastor Josh teaches on participation: the call for believers to move beyond passive observation and actively live out their faith in Christ. The Christian life is not meant to be watched from a distance. It is meant to be lived with genuine love, fervent faith, deep community, forgiveness, hospitality, and prayer. Through Romans 12, this message contrasts the marks of a true Christian with the patterns of the surrounding culture. While culture often celebrates retaliation, self-protection, and conditional love, followers of Jesus are called to bless those who persecute them, overcome evil with good, and pursue a life shaped by Christ. Pastor Josh highlights three practical anchors from Romans 12:12: rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and be constant in prayer. Participation means abiding in Christ daily, pursuing the family of God intentionally, and prioritizing prayer so that our lives are formed by the presence of God rather than the pull of culture.

A central development addressed is the projected effect of AI on the per-seat pricing model that underpins many MSP service offerings. According to the discussion, AI could reduce white-collar jobs by 30-50%, leading to fewer user seats for MSPs to support and bill for. This scenario presents significant revenue risk for MSPs reliant on per-user contracts. The discussion also references Microsoft's introduction of Agent365, a product designed to license AI agents within enterprise environments, indicating a move by vendors to adapt licensing models while protecting enterprise relationships. Participants noted that if customer organizations reduce headcount, MSPs will face declining license and seat-based revenue. Discussion suggested alternative business models, such as switching to per-device pricing or developing new service streams, with an emphasis on advisory services and security. The timeframe for these changes was cited as two to three years, which was described as an operationally compressed window for MSPs. Additionally, security, data management, compliance, and governance were highlighted as ongoing service areas with continued relevance as the MSP landscape evolves. Additional topics included increased local competition among MSPs, as evidenced by survey data reporting 100% of respondents encountering significant competition in 2024. Differentiation and targeted marketing were underscored as necessary responses to commoditization pressures. Emotional considerations related to M&A were also discussed, with particular focus on the personal and organizational impact of business sales. Security operations in MSP settings were identified as a rising operational burden, amplified by rapid changes and the challenge of upskilling staff hired for traditional IT roles. Key implications for MSPs and IT service providers center on the need for rapid operational restructuring, with greater emphasis on knowledge-based services such as IT advisory, risk, security, and compliance. There is a recognized accountability for customer education on evolving threats and for managing new AI-related risks that impact both data sovereignty and contractual obligations. The discussion suggests that MSPs unable or unwilling to adapt to these shifts may seek exit strategies, while those staying will need to reassess both revenue models and the skills composition of their teams. Participation in industry peer groups was recommended to share best practices and address common operational challenges.   MSP Question of the week:    How will AI impact the per seat model?  -  How will AI impact the per seat model?  -  Captera did a survey on local competition: Captera did a survey of MSPs. 100% of surveyed MSPs say competition in their region is high.  This was a 2024 study—  in 2026, it has to be worse.

Security has become the heaviest part of the workload. SOC-like responsibilities are landing on teams that were originally built for backups and patching.

In this episode, Dr. Anne Tjøndal discusses her research on gender, social inclusion, and methodological challenges in the study of Norwegian boxing. As an athlete, coach, and former vice president of the Norwegian Boxing Federation as well as a sociologist, Tjøndal has a unique perspective on the experiences of women in the sport. This conversation addresses the persistent association between boxing, masculinity, and violence, while highlighting efforts to increase women's participation and leadership within the sport. Central to the conversation is Bailey's four-dimensional framework of social inclusion, encompassing spatial, relational, functional, and power dimensions. Tjøndal argues that participation alone is insufficient for measuring inclusion and emphasizes the importance of qualitative and ethnographic approaches to understanding belonging, access, and influence within sporting communities.

We worship individually and corporately, and how we worship in this world is a rehearsal for eternity.

Sarah Kellen, one of the four women named as a “potential co-conspirator” in Jeffrey Epstein's controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement, is now trying to reframe her place in the Epstein story before she appears before Congress. In an interview with MS NOW, Kellen says she was also abused by Epstein and should be understood as a victim as well as someone who later became part of his orbit. That claim lands in one of the most complicated and emotionally charged areas of the entire Epstein case, because Kellen has long been described by survivors and court filings as a key assistant who helped schedule massages, manage logistics, and keep Epstein's operation running. Her position has always raised the central question that haunts several Epstein-linked women: where exploitation ended, where participation began, and whether the justice system allowed that ambiguity to become a shield.The timing matters because congressional investigators are now moving into the group of women who were protected by the original Florida deal but never publicly forced to answer the full range of questions about Epstein's network. Kellen's argument appears to be that Epstein manipulated, abused, and controlled her too, and that her lawyers resolved key legal issues without her fully understanding or controlling the process. But for Epstein survivors and investigators, that explanation does not erase the need for answers about what she knew, what she did, who she contacted, how girls and young women were moved through Epstein's homes, and why the federal government gave potential co-conspirators such sweeping protection in the first place. Her congressional appearance could become one of the more important moments in the current Epstein inquiry because it puts the public directly in front of the ugliest unresolved issue in the case: whether Epstein's closest female aides were victims, facilitators, protected witnesses, or some combination of all three.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Set to appear before Congress, an Epstein ‘potential co-conspirator' says she, too, was a victim

Sarah Kellen, one of the four women named as a “potential co-conspirator” in Jeffrey Epstein's controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement, is now trying to reframe her place in the Epstein story before she appears before Congress. In an interview with MS NOW, Kellen says she was also abused by Epstein and should be understood as a victim as well as someone who later became part of his orbit. That claim lands in one of the most complicated and emotionally charged areas of the entire Epstein case, because Kellen has long been described by survivors and court filings as a key assistant who helped schedule massages, manage logistics, and keep Epstein's operation running. Her position has always raised the central question that haunts several Epstein-linked women: where exploitation ended, where participation began, and whether the justice system allowed that ambiguity to become a shield.The timing matters because congressional investigators are now moving into the group of women who were protected by the original Florida deal but never publicly forced to answer the full range of questions about Epstein's network. Kellen's argument appears to be that Epstein manipulated, abused, and controlled her too, and that her lawyers resolved key legal issues without her fully understanding or controlling the process.

On this episode of the SeventySix Capital Sports Leadership Show, Wayne Kimmel interviewed Marc Riccio, President & CEO of USA LacrosseA former collegiate lacrosse player at Hofstra, Riccio's professional experience has led to specialties in media, fan engagement, sport and entertainment business operations, building new companies, revenue generation, executive leadership, and employee development.Under Riccio's leadership, USA Lacrosse has focused on three core principles – Fuel the Growth, Enrich the Experience and Field the Best National Teams – while generating record revenue to help support investment in the game.Riccio started his tenure at USA Lacrosse in August 2021 with the sport coming off two consecutive interrupted seasons due to the COVID pandemic. Participation levels have rebounded following that period and USA Lacrosse now has more members in the key 7-9 age segment than at any time in the organization's history.USA Lacrosse has also seen a robust expansion of its national team program, now sponsoring 14 teams from senior-level to youth national teams. On the field, for the first time in more than two decades, the U.S. is ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 in every discipline of the sport and has won five World Lacrosse championships (2022 senior women, 2022 U21 men, 2023 senior men, 2024 U20 women, 2024 women's box) and one World Games title (2025 women's sixes) during his tenure.The national team success comes at a pivotal point. USA Lacrosse was recognized by the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) as part of its Affiliate Organizations Council in 2023 and is on the pathway to becoming an official National Governing Body of the USPOC as the Olympics draw nearer.Riccio spent 17 years leading business operation and development for the NFL's New York Jets before spending seven years ahead of his USA Lacrosse appointment working in roles focused on strategy, growth and organizational change for major sports brands and events.Riccio grew up in Canandaigua, N.Y., and was introduced to the sport when he was 12 years old by a neighbor. He went on to become the first high school All-American at Canandaigua Academy, where he played both football and lacrosse. He was later inducted into the Canandaigua Academy Sports Hall of Fame and the Upstate Lacrosse Hall of Fame. At Hofstra, Riccio played lacrosse for former USA men's national team head coach John Danowski. Riccio is a member of the New York State Bar, has a Juris Doctor degree from St. John's University School of Law, and an M.B.A. in Marketing and a B.A. in Communications from Hofstra University.Marc Riccio:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcriccio21/
