Podcasts about Perspective

In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano uncovers the forgotten story of Tench Coxe, the hidden economic architect who helped secure America's independence. From his unlikely transformation from Loyalist sympathizer to patriot strategist, to his fierce push for American manufacturing, to his powerful defense of the right to keep and bear arms, Coxe shaped the foundations of the nation far more than history remembers. His warnings about foreign economic dependence and the loss of individual self-reliance speak directly to the challenges America faces today. This compelling narrative brings Coxe's influence to life and shows why his ideas are essential for understanding the past and protecting our future. Episode Highlights: How Tench Coxe helped build the economic backbone that allowed the United States to survive and thrive Coxe's powerful defense of the Second Amendment and the role of an armed citizenry Why Coxe's warnings about dependency and national weakness are more relevant than ever today

We've had Eli Weinstein on the podcast before (episode 182), where we focused on the postpartum period. Today, we're talking about the next phase of parenthood—one that brings its own growing pains, relationship shifts, and a whole new set of expectations.In his new book, Eli introduces the “holy trinity” of relationships: expectations, perception, and reality. He walks us through how easy it is for these three to get misaligned. One example almost every parent can relate to: when one partner works from home, the expectation is that more will get done around the house. When it doesn't happen, the perception becomes that the partner is lazy, when the reality is that no one ever clearly set the expectation in the first place.If you've been here for a bit, you know about Amy and Drew's weekly meetings. Amy is honest—she doesn't always look forward to them—but they've drastically improved clarity around roles and tasks. If you're trying to bring something like this into your own relationship, Eli shares one simple 15-minute daily practice that can soften resistance and rebuild connection.We also get into a feeling many of us have had at some point: “Why does my spouse feel like another child I have to remind all the time?” Eli normalizes the frustration. Giving your partner direction—even if it seems obvious—is better than simmering in resentment later. Think of it as a reset: just like teaching a child how to walk, sometimes our partners have never been taught certain systems, and clarity is an act of kindness.Eli also breaks down his “import and export” lists. This framework helps families intentionally remove what no longer serves them while protecting what does. And of course, gratitude comes up—Eli shares why small, frequent expressions of appreciation might be the most powerful shift you can make in your marriage.Eli closes the conversation with a grounding reminder: every couple is navigating this same transition. You are not alone. It's never too late to reset, reconnect, and focus on your relationship with more compassion and clarity.LINKS AND RESOURCES:VUORI: 20% off first purchase at: http://vuoriclothing.com/herself Listen to episode #182 - Eli Weinstein with a Male's Perspective on Partnership After Kids and Sharing the Mental Load: https://www.herselfpodcast.com/listen/eliweinsteinmentalloadPre-order his new book "From I Do to We Do" AND get a free workbook: https://www.eliweinsteinlcsw.com/bookEli's Website: https://www.eliweinsteinlcsw.com/The Dude Therapist Podcast: https://www.eliweinsteinlcsw.com/podcastFollow Eli on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eliweinstein_lcsw/Let's connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen

Perspective is something we all chase - because when it slips, life can feel chaotic and overwhelming. But when we find it again, everything becomes a little clearer. In this episode, actor Adeel Akhtar reflects on a time when he lost sight of perspective and how becoming a parent helped him rediscover what truly matters. Cricketing great Pat Cummins shares how the loss of his beloved mum reshaped his relationship with sport and why he's now more determined than ever to put family first.

Send us a Positive Review!In this part one of a two-part conversation, Valerie is joined by Maxine Hanks for a deeply personal and reflective conversation exploring their parallel journeys as Latter-day Saint female thought leaders navigating faith transitions, church discipline, and personal empowerment. This episodes is more a tender conversation between two friends than an interview where both women share of the depths of the commitment to honor their higher selves, their experiences of honoring God's work for them to do over institutional approval, and how they both draw strength from the historical echoes of their pioneering foremothers.The episode also dives into the complexities of holding space for both one's truth and the perspectives of those who may see them as adversaries. Pull up a chair and join Val and Maxine for the next couple of Monday episodes about letting go, leaning into one's purpose, and choosing love over fear. Books Referenced in this episode:"The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy" by Carol Lynn Pearson"Women and Authority: Re-Emerging Mormon Feminism" by Maxine HanksTimestamps:00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:17 Reflecting on Past Episodes01:18 Listener's Insight and Emotional Connection03:27 Maxine's Perspective on Resilience04:03 Deep Dive into Personal Experiences04:46 Facing Church Discipline06:13 Spiritual Guidance and Feminist Work12:19 Connecting with Pioneer Foremothers23:07 Healing Transgenerational Trauma29:29 Navigating Institutional Challenges32:59 Understanding Shadow Work33:32 The September 1993 Purge34:13 Spiritual Guidance and Resilience35:04 Personal Reflections on Excommunication36:24 Comparing Experiences41:34 Holding Space for Different Journeys45:16 The Impact on Families47:24 Honoring Individual Paths59:32 Resources for Further Exploration01:00:59 Conclusion and Next Steps Additional Episodes Referenced: Ep. 179 - 182: Maxine Hanks Life StoryEp. 222, 272: Maxine Hanks and Jody England Hansen discussing the recent garment updatesSupport the showSupport the show Listen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Access $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Gift a Scholarship Download Free Resources Visit our Website

Many people make more money and somehow feel more afraid. Afraid to decide. Afraid to lose. Afraid to look foolish. Afraid to miss out. https://www.youtube.com/live/00ErZ7MiuEM This isn't a fringe problem. It's everywhere.And it's solvable. Bruce and I recorded this episode to hand you a simple tool you can use to reframe fear and build the kind of financial life that runs on clarity, certainty, and stewardship. Overcoming financial fear starts hereWhat Financial Fear Really IsMake Financial Fear Work For YouScarcity vs Abundance With MoneyWhy Typical Financial Planning Fuels AnxietyTraditional Planning Builds CertaintyPut Money Back In Its PlaceHow Media and Culture Feed FearThe Practical System To Overcome Financial FearTypical Planning vs Traditional PlanningTypical PlanningTraditional PlanningOvercoming Financial Fear: From scarcity to abundance – your next stepBuild certainty, not anxiety – listen in and take your next stepBook A Strategy CallFAQ – Overcoming Financial FearWhat causes financial fear?How do I overcome financial fear fast?What is the abundance mindset with money?Is money good or evil?Why does typical retirement planning increase anxiety?How do cash flowing assets reduce financial fear?How does whole life insurance help with financial fear?What is traditional financial planning? Overcoming financial fear starts here If you've ever hesitated before a money decision, second guessed yourself after signing the paperwork, or stayed stuck because the “what ifs” grew louder than your purpose, you've met financial fear. This article will help you: Understand what financial fear really is, and why even high net worth families feel it. Swap a scarcity mindset for an abundance mindset without pretending fear disappears. See why typical planning fuels anxiety and how traditional planning builds certainty. Put money back in its place as a neutral tool and elevate stewardship. Take practical steps today to move from reaction to intentional design. If fear has been in the driver's seat, it's time to move it to the passenger side and make it serve your mission. What Financial Fear Really Is Let's start at the root. Fear is not your enemy.  It's a God-given alarm for imminent danger. As Bruce says, fear can save your life when a car barrels toward you. You don't want to pause and philosophize. You jump. The problem is when that same survival response starts running your money decisions. You either freeze and hoard, or you sprint from shiny object to shiny object because you're afraid to miss out. Different behaviors. Same scarcity. I've watched fear show up in two common ways: Fear of running outThe miser mindset. White knuckles. No generosity. No strategic investment. Just “hold on or else.” Fear of missing outThe constant upgrader. Bigger house, better boat, newer thing. Always chasing, never satisfied. Both are scarcity. Neither is abundance. Abundance isn't reckless. It's not denial. It's a settled conviction that value creation is limitless, and that you can make wise, long range decisions because you are a producer, not just a consumer. Make Financial Fear Work For You The most successful people don't lack fear.They refuse to let fear set the agenda. They put emotions under the leadership of a renewed mind. They use fear as a prompt to prepare, to do the work, to practice courage, and to move anyway. Here's a quick loop Bruce and I use: Name the fear. Say it out loud. Interrogate it. What's the real risk, the real timeline, the real magnitude? Reframe it. What productive action can this fear fuel today? Act. Small, specific steps beat ruminating every time. Review. Talk to yourself like you talk to a friend. Record wins. Build evidence. Courage is a muscle.Train it. Scarcity vs Abundance With Money I like to picture a continuum with scarcity at the bottom and abundance at the top. On both ends of the bell curve, scarcity looks different but feels the same. On one end, scarcity hoards and hides. On the other, scarcity spends to soothe and signal. Abundance sits at the top and does something else entirely. It designs a system where money can be saved, used, enjoyed, replenished, and directed toward a bigger mission. It recognizes that money follows value, and value flows from serving people well. Abundance knows this truth: Money is neutral.It's a magnifier of the soul. Put money in the hands of a wise steward and it multiplies blessing. Put money in the hands of a fool and it multiplies damage. Money did not change the heart. It revealed it. This is why character formation, family culture, and clear guidance are not side notes in finance. They are the engine. Why Typical Financial Planning Fuels Anxiety Typical planning was built to end your productivity.Work until X. Stop. Spend down the pile. Hope you don't outlive it. Because the goal is “stop,” the math has to guess a thousand variables. Guess your lifespan. Guess returns. Guess inflation. Guess taxes. Run a Monte Carlo and call it “certainty.” It's not certainty. It's a string of guesses. When your entire strategy rests on projections you can't control, you feed fear. You start managing to the simulation instead of managing to your mission. You also fragment your financial life into compartments that don't talk to each other. Save a little here, speculate a little there, and pray it nets out. No wonder so many feel anxious. Traditional Planning Builds Certainty Traditional planning doesn't ask, “When can I stop being productive?”It asks, “How do I keep producing, stewarding, and compounding value for generations?” That one shift changes everything. Traditional planning prioritizes: Cash flowing assets over pure appreciationThink businesses and investments that spin off usable cash today and tomorrow. Liquidity and control so you can seize opportunitiesDry powder matters. Optionality reduces fear. Properly designed whole life insurance as a foundational assetGuaranteed cash value, contractual certainty, and a death benefit that refills the family bucket. This is family banking and a reliable backstop that turns risk setbacks into recoverable chapters. Integrated estate design that includes guidanceA will and trust are the shell. A string family culture, Memorandum of Trust, clear roles, and love letters are the substance. Don't just transfer assets. Transfer wisdom and intent. A producer mindsetWe don't retire from purpose. We refine it. We build the family enterprise and train the next generation to steward it. Traditional planning removes guesswork where you can and embraces guarantees where they exist. That is how you replace fear with confidence. Put Money Back In Its Place Many people carry a hidden belief that money is bad. Movies preach it. Social feeds imply it. And if you've absorbed “money is evil,” you will sabotage your own success and feel guilty about every win. I love the picture Bruce learned on the football field. Football didn't build character. It revealed it. Money is the same. It shows what is already true in your heart and in your habits. When money is your god, it runs your life and ruins your relationships. When God is first and people are second and you include yourself in the command to love your neighbor as yourself, money becomes a powerful means to bless, build, and multiply good. Order brings peace. Peace calms fear. How Media and Culture Feed Fear Fear sells. Whether it's the markets, politics, or the latest doom headline, your attention is the product. If you feed fear 24 hours a day, fear will set your financial thermostat. We do something very simple in our family. We curate inputs. We stay informed without bathing in anxiety. Perspective is your most valuable asset. Guard it. The Practical System To Overcome Financial Fear Let's translate this into steps you can take this week. Audit your mindset.Write down three places fear is currently driving your decisions. Name whether it's fear of running out or fear of missing out. Clarify your long-range vision.Lift your eyes. Where do you want your family to be in 25, 50, 200 years? What values do you want embedded in your lineage? Your vision pulls you forward better than fear pushes you around. Strengthen liquidity and cash flow.Increase savings. Build or acquire cash flowing assets. Stop relying solely on appreciation and projections. Add guarantees where they belong.Evaluate properly structured whole life insurance as part of your base. Use it to store capital, access liquidity, and provide a guaranteed death benefit that refills the bucket and de-risks the plan. Integrate your estate design with guidance.Build or update your will and trust. Write your Memorandum of Trust. Clarify roles. Draft love letters to your heirs. Do not leave interpretation to chance. Build producer habits.Study. Create. Serve. Keep solving real problems. Producers attract opportunities. Opportunities expand options. Options reduce fear. Practice the self-talk you'd give a friend.Review wins. Document what worked. Speak to yourself with the same encouragement you offer others. This widens your capacity to choose faith over fear. Typical Planning vs Traditional Planning Use this quick contrast to evaluate your current path. Typical Planning End date focus Spend down a pile Reliant on projections Fragmented accounts Rate of return obsession High anxiety, low control Traditional Planning Ongoing production Cash flow focus Guarantees where possible Integrated system Value creation obsession High certainty, higher control Choose your operating system. Choose your outcomes. Overcoming Financial Fear: From scarcity to abundance – your next step

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/48ZY57l Bitcoin Analysis: The Bahnsen Group's Perspective on Cryptocurrency Investing David Bahnsen hosts the latest episode of Dividend Cafe, where he takes a deep dive into Bitcoin and cryptocurrency investments. Bahnsen discusses the historical volatility of Bitcoin, citing various significant drops over the past decade and its speculative nature. He argues that Bitcoin's extreme fluctuations make it unsuitable as a medium of exchange or a stable store of value. Bahnsen compares Bitcoin to productive assets, explaining why The Bahnsen Group focuses on investments rooted in inherent productivity and usefulness. He emphasizes that while Bitcoin may serve as a trading and speculative vehicle for some, it does not align with The Bahnsen Group's investment philosophy aimed at long-term wealth creation. 00:00 Introduction to Today's Topic: Bitcoin 01:18 Historical Context and Stability Issues 02:54 Bitcoin's Volatility and Market Behavior 04:27 Comparing Bitcoin to Traditional Investments 07:18 The Sociological Phenomenon of Bitcoin 17:50 Blockchain Technology vs. Bitcoin 19:16 Government Regulation and Bitcoin's Future 22:21 The Bahnsen Group's Investment Philosophy 26:54 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

Do you ever look around and think, “Why are teens today so fragile when life is easier than ever?”In this conversation, Greg and Rachel break down why so many young people are anxious, avoidant, and overwhelmed by normal life—and how to raise resilient teens who can actually handle hard things. They unpack the impact of comfort culture, overprotection, and screen-based living, then share practical ways to “microdose” and “macrodose” challenge through workouts, travel, projects, and real-life responsibility. You'll learn how to build holistic toughness—physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, and even financial—without shaming your kids or recreating the harshness of past generations.

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Lucy Biggers, a former climate activist who has undergone a remarkable transformation. Lucy shares her journey from being deeply entrenched in climate activism and suffering from climate anxiety to becoming a voice of reason who now creates content to calm people's environmental fears.We explore how documentaries like "An Inconvenient Truth" and her work at NowThis News shaped her initial worldview, and what specific moments during the COVID pandemic made her question the climate movement's demands. Lucy reveals how becoming a mother changed her perspective on the future and why she now advocates for climate realism over alarmism. We discuss the psychological appeal of climate catastrophism, the actual data on extreme weather and climate-related deaths, and how young people are being affected by environmental anxiety.This conversation examines the intersection of environmental concerns with mental health, exploring how catastrophic thinking about climate can impact life decisions about family, career, and personal wellbeing. Lucy offers a refreshing perspective on why humanity's future might be brighter than many believe, and why gratitude for human progress is essential for mental health.Lucy Biggers makes content to calm climate anxiety on her social media and is the Head of Social Media at The Free Press.

What are the best competing theories of consciousness? Can we isolate where it arises and measure how complex it is? How do 5meo DMT mystical or non-separation experiences shift worldviews on consciousness?In this episode we have the very theme of the podcast's title to delve into, the quest to understand the nature of consciousness. So we discuss mind and self, and what kind of substrate you need to allow for subjective experience; we look at the various philosophical positions on the nature of consciousness and ways to move beyond the unwinnable argument around the hard problem; we talk about extended cognition and cellular cognition; how integrated information theory attempts to quantify consciousness; the origin of meaning; psychedelics and the implications of mystical experiences of non-separation; whether AI will ever become conscious; and the implications of plant intelligence and memory.There's only one person who can speak about such a wide range of topics this well, one of the most passionate consciousness researchers in the world for over 40 years, physicist and neuroscientist, Christof Koch. He's Chief Scientist at the BlueDot Foundation, and has authored and co-authored over 1000 scientific papers and 6 books, including “The Quest for Consciousness”, “Confessions of a Romantic Reductionst” and “Then I am myself the World”, which we'll be focussing on today. What we discuss:00:00 His migration from physics to neuroscience.06:10 “Take no one's word for it”.07:50 His long-term Francis Crick collaboration.10:00 The signatures, footprints and correlates of consciousness.17:50 The empirical approach to the philosophical ‘Hard problem'.21:00 Metaphysics isn't empirical.21:40 The issues along the spectrum from materialism to idealism.29:00 “The great divide of being” - quotidian vs dissociated states.33:15 Is the self an illusion?34:15 The difference between self consciousness and subjective experience.38:00 “Confessions of a romantic reductionist”.41:00 Meaning is not an empirical subject.44:30 Integrated information theory explained - existence as casual power.52:50 The placebo effect is consciousness causally influencing the world.01:00:00 Computational theories of consciousness.01:03:10 The connectome: an exact brain replica in a simulation.01:05:10 Extended cognition & the blurred boundaries between selves.01:09:30 Michael Levin: the hierarchy from cellular to collective cognition.01:13:50 ‘Then I am myself the world' Book.01:14:40 5meoDMT: His mystical & NDE experiences.01:21:40 Lowering of the DMN in non-self like experiences like flow, meditation, day-dreaming, or psychedelics.01:24:00 To be real, experiences must have causal power.01:27:25 Perspective shift after psychedelics.01:30:50 Plant consciousness, intelligence, communication & memory.References: www.christofkoch.comScientific PapersChristof Koch, “Then I Am Myself the World: What Consciousness Is and How to Expand It the world”.Christof Koch, “Consciousness: Confessions of a romantic reductionist.”

The Jewish response to elections – whether the shocking victory of an openly anti-Semitic mayor in New York City or any political upheaval throughout history – must be twofold: before the vote, we exercise full hishtadlut (effort) by voting, cultivating goodwill with leaders, and supporting candidates who protect Jewish safety (as our Sages sent gifts to Caesar and Rabbi Akiva petitioned Rome); after the vote, we immediately pivot to total bitachon, recognizing that the final outcome is 100 % Hashem's decree, often sent as a wake-up call that we have grown too comfortable in galut. History repeats itself: German Jews declared Berlin their Jerusalem, Polish Jews called Poland “Polin – here we shall dwell,” and today many American Jews act as if the United States is the final stop; every time we forget we are in exile, Hashem sends a jolt – sometimes from the left, sometimes from the right – to remind us that no political party, president, or democracy is our ultimate protector.The comforting truth is that these “potches” (divine smacks) are acts of love meant to push us back toward our mission: to be a light unto the nations wherever we are, and ultimately to yearn for and move toward Yerushalayim. When we respond correctly – by increasing Torah, tefillah, teshuvah, and authentic Jewish pride – the bitterness miraculously turns sweet, just as October 7th produced hundreds of thousands of newly observant Jews and countless stories of open miracles among the hostages. The message is clear: get comfortable being uncomfortable in galut, stop putting ultimate faith in any human leader or system, and remember that only the almighy (Hakadosh Baruch Hu) runs the world – and He is nudging us home.Engage with us by sharing your questions, and we look forward to addressing them in future episodes, fostering a more interactive experience for our audience by submitting your questions to unboxing@torchweb.org_____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by the Nagel Family.This Episode (#25) of the Unboxing Judaism Podcast is dedicated in honor of The Nagel WeddingRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Levin Family Studio (B) on November 12, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 25, 2025_____________Unboxing Judaism Podcast is a discussion on fundamental Jewish and modern cultural topics through the lens of our Torah and heritage with Rabbi Yaakov Nagel and Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe from TORCH, in Houston, TexasASK!
