In this episode I host a dialogue between Stephen Snyder, meditation teacher and author, and Mark Mininberg, Zen master and dharma heir to Bernie Glassman. Stephen and Mark discuss their new podcast interview series, “Anatomy of Awakening”, in which they engage in peer-to-peer trialogue with other teachers of enlightenment. Stephen and Mark reveal why they chose the teachers they have featured, the degree to which various claims to spiritual attainment played a part in their selection, and how they navigated conversations with teachers from other Buddhist sects. Stephen and Mark reflect on the increase in meditation teachers who claim spiritual awakening, recall their own trainings in Zen communities in which discussion of enlightenment was taboo, and emphasise the need for rigorous training under an experienced guide. Stephen and Mark also warn about teachers who overestimate their abilities, offer suggestions to aspiring gurus, and emphasis the whole body commitment required to truly attain Buddhist awakening. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep308-anatomy-of-awakening-stephen-snyder-mark-mininberg Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'.

In this insightful interview, Shelley Howard, founder and CEO of College Ready, hosts Raphael McMaster, a creative professional turned nonprofit leader focused on empowering youth with essential emotional and mental health tools. Raphael shares how his journey led him to develop a toolkit of seven fundamental life tools designed to build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and self-control among young people. These tools have been co-created with input from psychologists, therapists, educators, and youth themselves to ensure they resonate with today's generation.Raphael explains that his program transcends artistic or athletic backgrounds, making it accessible to all teenagers who face modern challenges such as screen addiction, anxiety, and societal pressures. The seven tools—awareness, acceptance, intention, gratitude, compassion, forgiveness, and connection—equip teens to observe their thoughts without attachment, manage their emotions, visualize goals, and cultivate resilience.The program has been successfully integrated into California high school curricula and is expanding through an innovative online platform launched by teens, for teens. Their ambitious goal is to empower one million conscious youth over five years, creating a grassroots movement of mental and emotional wellness. Raphael emphasizes the universal nature of these tools, offering examples of how they have transformed lives, including those struggling with serious issues like addiction and academic stress.Ultimately, the conversation highlights the critical need for teaching emotional intelligence and mindfulness skills early, filling the gap left in traditional education. This initiative supports parents and educators in nurturing self-reflective, empowered young adults capable of navigating life's challenges with clarity and confidence. HighlightsCreativity is a gateway to emotional resilience but is not required to benefit from this toolkit.The seven foundational life tools teach youth to become the “aware observer” of their thoughts.Visualization and intention-setting help students clearly define goals and boost motivation.Gratitude practice transforms negative thinking and fosters quicker emotional recovery.Connection to self, others, nature, and a personal higher power strengthens mental wellness.The program is embedded in high school curricula and extended via a teen-led online platform.Goal to empower 1 million conscious youth in five years, creating a positive societal ripple effect. Key InsightsAwareness as the cornerstone: Teaching youth that they are not their thoughts but observers of their thoughts enables cognitive distancing. This foundational mindfulness skill allows teens to interrupt negative thought patterns before they become emotional burdens, leading to better mental health outcomes.Power of intention and visualization: Raphael underscores that knowing what you want—even if you don't yet know how to get there—is critical for success and resilience. This forward-looking mindset fosters optimism and persistence through uncertainty, vital traits for young adults entering a complex world.Reframing negativity through gratitude: The “G flip” technique—flipping complaints into gratitude—serves as a rapid cognitive shift to reduce stress. This resilience tool teaches youth to find silver linings, promoting emotional flexibility in the face of adversity such as academic pressures or social challenges.Compassion, forgiveness, and connection as healing forces: Alongside self-awareness, these emotional skills help youth navigate relationships and internal pain. Forgiveness is presented as an inward practice, freeing individuals from resentment and promoting psychological freedom, critical for healthy development.Addressing contemporary challenges head-on: Raphael acknowledges the unique difficulties of the current generation, including screen addiction, social media pressures, and mental health crises. These tools are tailored to help youth thrive amid overstimulation and rapid societal changes.Youth-led education and empowerment: The emerging consciousness broadcast center model puts teens in leadership roles teaching their peers, enhancing relatability and creating authentic mentorship. Peer-led initiatives increase engagement and internalization of these life skills.Bridging the gap in education: Traditional schools rarely provide practical mental and emotional health curricula. Integrating these tools as state-approved courses and extracurricular programs fills this essential gap, supporting youth in becoming self-reflective, resilient, and ready not just for college, but for life. Connect with Shellee Howard: WebsiteYouTubeInstagramLinkedInEmail: shellee@collegereadyplan.com Connect with Rafael MacMaster: WebsiteYouTubeInstagramFacebookEmail: rafael@indivisiblearts.org

AirForce & Government Gives Proof - Pakistan was HIT VERY HARD | Sumit Peer Breaks DGMO Briefing

What if your next fundraising event wasn't just another rubber chicken gala—but a magnetic, mission-driven experience people couldn't stop talking about? That's exactly what Brittany Bedford, Customer Success Manager at Bloomerang, urges nonprofit leaders to imagine.In this high-energy episode, Brittany dives deep into the art of turning events from forgettable to phenomenal. She shares fresh research, real-world examples, and wildly creative strategies that help nonprofits connect with long-term donors in meaningful, memorable ways.“We've got to shift from the fundraiser's point of view to the attendee's,” Brittany emphasizes. “They're coming to feel connected. This is their chance to be a part of something meaningful.”Julia Patrick, host, agrees—and doesn't hold back: “We don't even sit down and ask, what do our guests need? That's dreadful. We just copy and paste the last event!”From gamified donor experiences and staff-led greetings to runway walk-offs and dogs painting art live onstage, Brittany proves that creativity isn't just a nice-to-have—it's a donor retention superpower. In one standout example, she describes an event where guests interacted with service dogs creating art, then bid on those pieces at auction. “People were laughing, posting, and telling the story for weeks,” she recalls.She also unpacks Bloomerang's new research showing that:·        70% of donors say a fun experience makes them more likely to stay engaged·        53% say gamification was their most memorable event moment·        Yet only 6% of fundraisers are implementing this!The takeaway? Nonprofits must ditch the rinse-and-repeat and embrace innovation—starting with the very first hello. Whether you're planning your first gala or your fiftieth, this episode is a game-changer for how you think about donor events.00:00:00 Welcome and Guest Introduction00:02:00 Brittany's Role at Bloomerang00:03:40 Transitioning from Transactional to Inspirational Events00:06:00 Copy-Paste Event Planning Pitfalls00:08:30 New Research: What Donors Really Want00:10:20 Gamification at Events: Why It Works00:13:00 Making Staff and Board Comfortable with Engagement00:15:00 Rethinking Guest Check-In and First Impressions00:17:00 Dogs Painting Art: An Unforgettable Event Idea00:20:00 Peer-to-Peer Meets Fashion Show Fundraiser00:23:30 Using Event Data for Future Engagement00:27:00 Can Small Teams Pull This Off?#DonorEngagement #NonprofitEvents #FundraisingInnovationFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Send us a textIn this episode, Yvonne and Rafael chat with Joseph Sousa, Workers' Compensation Program Manager for the City of San Diego. In our conversation, we learn from the perspective of a self-insured, self-administered workers' compensation program administrator, and what is important to that stakeholder perspective. One thing that stands out is the numerous benefits of operating a self-insured, self-administered program for both the employer and employees. The employer gains total control over various aspects, especially compared to purchasing an insurance policy from an external insurer. Since all employees work for the same entity, there is a strong sense of pride and compassion when it comes to supporting colleagues.The City of San Diego is regarded as a gold standard in workers' compensation programs. Some key elements of San Diego's program include:- An established culture of wellness and safety- Early intervention- Peer support and compassion for fellow employees- Effective communication- Self-efficacy, where injured employees take ownership of their recovery- Quality partnerships with medical providersJoin us as we delve deeper into Joseph's insights and learn more about the City of San Diego's workers' compensation program.More about City of San Diego: https://www.sandiego.gov/Council of Self-Insured Public Agencies (COSIPA): https://cosipa.org/Public Agency Risk Management Association (PARMA): https://parma.com/¡Muchas Gracias!

In this conversation, Romy Alexandra discusses the concept of experiential learning, sharing her personal journey and insights into how experiential education can transform traditional learning methods. She emphasizes the importance of engaging learners through experience, reflection, and action, and explores the experiential learning cycle and various learning styles. The discussion also highlights the significance of reflection in the learning process and how it can be made more engaging. Romy shares practical strategies for facilitators to enhance their teaching methods and the need to bridge theory and practice in education.   Experiential learning is about learning through experience, reflection, thinking, and acting. Reflection is essential for deep learning and should be varied to keep it engaging. Learning styles are preferences that can change over time and should not box learners in. The experiential learning cycle can be applied to all aspects of life, not just formal education. Peer learning is often more impactful than facilitator-led instruction. Creating a safe space for reflection can lead to powerful insights and learning outcomes. Facilitators should strive to engage all learning styles in their teaching methods. The journey of learning is continuous and can spiral into deeper understanding and action.

Hailing from Austin, Texas, Grocery Bag is a ragtag group consisting of Bella Martinez, Jimmy Mercado, Dillon Aitala, and Logan Kerman. Each member had a unique upbringing with music: Martinez played in bands or various genres, including a church band; Aitala picked up guitar in high school and kept at it after COVID-19 hit; Mercado's dad played drums while he was growing up, so he picked up a pair of drumsticks; and Kerman's mother threw a guitar into his lap when he was just 2 years old, sparking a new passion. Mercado and Aitala went to high school together, Mercado being a part of multiple bands at the same time while Aitala admired from the sidelines, wanting to join in. The two met Martinez and Kerman through some of Mercado's projects; Martinez booked a show and didn't have a band, so she asked the other three to hop in. Martinez's father has a bunch of vintage signs in his garage, and when the band played a house show at his house, Martinez looked up at a sign that said "Grocery Bag", and the rest is history. Grocery Bag have been best friends forever, hanging out every day when Aitala and Mercado were still in high school, driving around to malls and guitar stores. They pen nonsense lyrics and emphasize on the guitar riff as their basis for songs. They opened for Psychedelic Porn Crumpets April 28th at The Aggie Theatre, and their next show is at Third Man Records Cass Corridor on May 18th.

In this episode of On Boards, hosts Joe Ayoub and Raza Shaikh welcome Lynn Clarke, an experienced leader in family board governance who has served on more than a dozen family and private equity-backed boards including as an independent chair and lead director. Lynn is also a strategic advisor and mentor and has served on boards spanning from beverage and food services to e-commerce and manufacturing.  Lynn has mentored next generation board members and leaders throughout her career and  was named the Private Company Director of the Year by National Association of Corporate Directors in 2022. She also serves as one of three judges for Deloitte's best managed private company awards program.   Key Takeaways 1. Interviewing for a board role With years of experience serving on boards, Lynn advises aspiring board members to carry a passion for the business, its products and what the company does. It's important to understand why you want to serve on a board, what value you add and what new perspectives you believe you will bring. She advises to make these points clear when you are interviewing for a board seat.  2. New boards vs. existing boards Newly formed boards offer a unique opportunity to build the culture, rhythm, and structure of governance from the ground up, but its success is dependent on the principal shareholder(s), who will define the culture of the board and company. Shareholders set the tone. 3. Knowing when it's time to leave a board or offboard a member Having the self-awareness is key to knowing when it's time to leave. Lynn suggests asking yourself, “am I still a good fit?” and “do I like what I'm doing on this board?”, “Am I enjoying the discussions at the board meeting?”, “Do I feel as though I am contributing to the growth of the company?” If the answers are no, maybe you need to consider stepping out.  Offboarding a member is one of the challenging aspects of board governance, especially in close-knit or long-tenured groups. It requires direct but respectful conversations from the lead director, board chair, or governance chair.  Whether a board member is being asked to leave due to performance issues or company changes, Lynn recommends treating it like a celebration and acknowledgement of the person's service on the board, almost like a retirement.  4. Board evaluations make it easier to provide ongoing feedback Even private and early-stage boards benefit from formal assessments. Annual board effectiveness and peer evaluations help surface underlying issues in board dynamics and performance. Peer evaluations can be sensitive for company boards, so Lynn suggests introducing different types of evaluations in parts.  Quotes “ABARTA Coca-Cola was one of the first family-owned businesses I know to really think about independent governance. There were a majority of independent directors on a board, had a high quality strategic plan that is really a living, breathing document and a good family council or an ownership council. Those are the three things that take a business from Gen 1 or 2 into 3, 4, 5, 6, and beyond.”  ”I take my commitments to the companies and the families that I work with 100% seriously the same way that I did in running a company or working for a Fortune 50.  When you join a board, you are committed to that organization. You're a fiduciary. Why would you do this unless you really wanted to help make an impact, and the only way you can make an impact is to take what you do seriously.”   ”The first thing you need to think about when you've been approached about joining a board: can I really make a contribution? I also think passion for the business is really important, passion for the product, the service and what the company does is really important.” “ It's important when you're on a newly formed board to think about what you know from boards that have been around for a while, and how you apply those learnings to help support the formation and the development of the new board.” “Do I enjoy the conversations? Am I feeling like it's a good fit?” And no matter how many years you've been on the board “do you like what you're doing?"   Links Four Key Questions to Ask Yourself How to Be an Exceptional Director Board Refreshment — When Is It Time? getonaboard.com   Guest Bio Lynn has extensive experience in family board governance, having served on more than a dozen family and PE boards as Independent Chair/Lead/Director.
