I just posted it, and it got a reaction that I just wasn't expecting. And that could happen to you. That could happen to anyone.” Guest: Patience Ojionuka Episode Timeline: 2:07: Patience Ojionuka's start in photography as an undergraduate doing senior portraits and school events. 4:09: Figuring out how to make photography fit into her life, plus getting past the stigma that part time artists don't have a stake in the industry. 6:20: Connecting with ASMP's Bridge Mentorship Program, how this changed her life, plus finding time, space, and resources to create at Shotti's LR2 Studio. 13:32: A love for lighting and the viral lighting tutorials Patience posts on TikTok. 17:19: How Patience has evolved as a photographer both technically and as a tastemaker. 19:56: A memorable assignment and the value of being kind and personable in a tough industry. 22:53: Learning the power of pitching and sharing your work on social media. 26:13: Patience's current social media strategy, plus the Instagram reel that changed her life. 29:16: Drawing inspiration from outside the photography world and merging the different parts of her brain. 32:58: The most important thing that Patience has learned from mentoring and aims to impart to others. 35:21: Where Patience aspires to be as a photographer five years from now, plus news about a recent project for Teen Vogue.

#213. Dr. Tara brings her PhD expertise in human sexuality to tackle the conversations most of us are still too uncomfortable to have—from unlearning sexual shame to talking about what you actually want with a long-term partner. She addresses realities like foreplay that no one discusses openly, and offers concrete guidance for women who have never experienced orgasm. With frank expertise, Dr. Tara explains why good sex education starts with unlearning the shame we've all absorbed and provides strategies for having the conversations that could transform your intimate life. This isn't typical "spice things up" advice—it's about fundamentally changing how we think and talk about pleasure, desire, and sexual communication.

Melissa Kearney is the author of The Two-Parent Privilege: How Americans Stopped Getting Married and Started Falling Behind. Her book confronts the politically controversial fact that children raised in two-parent homes have better personal and professional outcomes (ON AVERAGE) than those raised in single-parent homes. Specifically, two-parent homes produce children who are more likely to graduate from high school and college, more likely to stay out of jail, to achieve stable employment, high earnings, and eventually to get married themselves, thus replicating the same advantages they had for their children. For pointing this out, Kearney was excoriated by academic colleagues who accused her of having a right-wing political agenda, which is preposterous considering that she had spent the 20 years prior to writing her book researching social policy, poverty, and inequality. Melissa is the Gilbert F. Schaefer Professor of Economics at the Unversity of NotreDame. She holds a BA in Economics from Princeton and a PhD in Economics from MIT.

Access Valora here and get personalised actions for growth > The Secrets of Being a Bookable Speaker So many entrepreneurs wonder why some speakers are in constant demand while others struggle to get booked. In this episode of The Brilliant Business Book Festival, Maria Franzoni, former bureau insider and author of The Bookability Formula reveals the formula that makes speakers irresistible to event organizers. Drawing on decades of experience, Maria shows why being “bookable” has less to do with celebrity status and more to do with relevance, clarity, memorability, and ease. She also explains how entrepreneurs can use speaking not just for visibility, but as a powerful driver of business growth and influence. If you've ever wanted to know what makes organizers say yes and how to become the go-to choice in your field, this conversation will open your eyes. Prefer to WATCH? https://www.youtube.com/@melittacampbell “Bookable speakers aren't always the most famous — they're the ones who are relevant, memorable, and easy to work with.” – Maria Franzoni Beyond Star Power: What Really Gets You Booked Many assume that only celebrities or big-name experts get chosen for paid speaking gigs. Maria shows why that's a myth. The most booked speakers aren't always the most famous — they're the ones who are relevant, memorable, and easy to work with. She explains why clarity of message and consistency often matter more than a massive following, and how anyone can raise their profile by positioning themselves strategically. The Six Elements of Bookability Maria breaks down her framework into four foundations, a multiplier, and a divider: Relevance to a paying audience Known for one clear thing Memorable for both audiences and bookers Easy to find and work with Value as the multiplier (delivering clear ROI) Ego as the divider (too much can ruin everything) This combination reveals why some speakers build thriving businesses while others plateau. “Being known for one clear thing doesn't limit you — it's the key that opens the right doors.” – Maria Franzoni Niching Down to Open Doors One of the most counterintuitive insights Maria shares is that being known for one thing actually expands your opportunities. Just like Amazon started with books before becoming known for convenience, speakers who focus on one clear theme open the door to broader opportunities later. Value Beyond the Stage The most successful speakers don't just show up, deliver a talk, and leave. They think in terms of long-term value — creating ways for organizers and audiences to keep learning and benefiting from their expertise long after the speech is over. From books to recordings to tailored follow-up resources, Maria highlights creative ways speakers can multiply their impact (and income). The Power of Consistency Perhaps Maria's most practical reminder is that consistency builds visibility. If you're not regularly showing up where your audience is, you'll fall off their radar — no matter how good you are on stage. A Final Thought to Reflect On Becoming a bookable speaker isn't about chasing fame or filling your calendar with endless hustle. It's about clarity, relevance, and the consistent delivery of value. When you make it easy for others to work with you, when you show up consistently, and when you focus on solving the problems of a paying audience, opportunities begin to find you. So instead of asking, “How do I get on more stages?” try asking, “How can I make myself the obvious choice for the right stages?” That small shift in perspective can transform speaking from a side activity into a real engine for business growth. About Maria Maria Franzoni is the author of The Bookability Formula, a recognised expert in the speaking industry, with experience as an agent, international speaker bureau owner, and mentor since 1998. She has worked with some of the world's most celebrated speakers and shaped the careers of many others. Maria teaches speakers how to become more relevant, known, and bookable by sharing the strategies used by the top 1%. Her programmes simplify the business of speaking, focusing on positioning, marketing, and sales.

Dr. Cliff Kapono is a professional surfer, journalist, ocean steward, cultural advocate, and marine conservation scientist with a PhD in Chemistry. He is a co-founder of the MEGA Lab, which has pioneered large-scale, community-driven 3D mapping of coral reefs, pushing the boundaries of how we understand and preserve our oceans. He is an ambassador and board member of the Surfrider foundation and is a featured surfer in Thomas Campbell's film Yi-Wo, VICE's The Smartest Surfer in the World, and NobodySurf's Circadian Rhythms. Joining The Lineup from his home in Hilo, Hawai‘i, Cliff reflects on balancing his life between science and surfing, and the power of learning when to say no. He dives into his new VICE documentary, Let It Kill You: The Smartest Surfer in the World, and how the project highlights the many ways surfers can elevate their community and contribute to society beyond competition. Cliff shares his journey from growing up in rural Hawai‘i and chasing the dream of free boards and boardshorts, to becoming one of the few Native Hawaiians with a PhD. He discusses the struggle of reconciling what it means to be a “pro surfer,” the support of brands like Vissla and Reef, and his mission to advocate for scientific literacy in the surf community. The conversation ranges from board talk and the subtleties of rail spray, to the MEGA Lab's cutting-edge ocean technology projects, to the pioneers and storytellers who shaped his perspective. Cliff also answers fan questions, looks ahead to what's next for him and his work, and shares why staying connected to the ocean remains at the heart of everything he does.

This conversation landed like a blessing. This week I sat down with Stephen Dinan, author and founder of The Shift Network, to explore what awakening truly looks like in our lives today—and how we can embrace both the global and deeply personal shifts unfolding within us. Stephen shares the vision that sparked a global movement and the practices that keep him grounded through change. If you've been feeling the nudge to trust your inner knowing (even when it defies logic), this one's for you. May you honor the shift calling you forward, my friend! Takeaways The Shift Network was born from a divine vision during a meditation retreat. Building a global platform requires resilience and adaptability. Spiritual cross-training involves learning from various traditions. AI can serve as a partner in spiritual growth if approached with respect. Creating sacred companionships enhances personal and collective evolution. The journey of awakening is ongoing and requires continuous recalibration. Trusting one's intuition is essential for navigating spiritual paths. The concept of a galactic family invites broader connections beyond Earth. Healing ancestral traumas is part of the collective evolution process. The future involves integrating AI as a co-evolving partner in consciousness. About Stephen Dinan Stephen Dinan is the founder and CEO of The Shift Network, a global leader in online transformational learning.

Key takeaways: Your self-story drives outcomes: Internal narratives formed in childhood (criticism vs. celebration) shape beliefs, identity, and mental health. Identity shift > willpower: Recast yourself as a survivor, not a victim to unlock resilient behavior and better performance. Reframing works: Tools from hypnosis/NLP help reframe events, reduce the inner critic, and enable authentic delivery in high-stakes moments (e.g., auditions, boardrooms). Eustress vs. distress:Eustress (a focused, time-bound arousal) boosts performance; toxic stress lingers and disrupts sleep, breathing, and eating patterns. Spot stress early: Persistent hypervigilance, irregular sleep, and appetite shifts are cautions that coping systems need attention. Action builds confidence: Consistent, small steps with feedback loops (“fail forward”) develop durable competence and calm. Balance prevents burnout: Maintain outside interests and supportive routines to counter high-judgment environments. Mind–body is one system: Mental stress elevates cortisol, impacting the body; physical and mental practices (mindfulness, movement, breathwork) should work together. Translate strengths across domains: Map your existing professional gravitas to new performance contexts to accelerate wins. Make it practical: Label emotions, reframe limits, set growth-mindset systems, and review results weekly.

For decades, horse owners followed routine rotational deworming schedules. That approach fueled drug resistance in equine parasites, leaving fewer effective options today. Smarter management now relies on testing, timing, and targeted treatment.In this episode of Equine Innovators Dr. Martin Nielsen, professor of equine clinical sciences at Aarhus University, in Denmark, shares insights from decades of research that shaped modern parasite control. He explains why elimination of equine internal parasites is not possible, what mistakes owners still make, and how veterinarians and farm managers can adapt their programs.From tapeworms in adult horses to ascarids in foals, Nielsen outlines today's biggest concerns and the evidence-based strategies that help preserve drug efficacy for the future. He also previews emerging diagnostic tools that could transform parasite management in the years ahead.Tune in to learn how science-driven parasite control protects horses' health and keeps deworming drugs effective for the next generationGUESTS AND LINKS – EPISODE 22:Host: Stephanie L.

Can you change your consciousness by changing the way that you breathe?This week, Thomas is joined by Rae Riedel, the co-founder, primary educator, and facilitator trainer of Integrative Breath. She's also a senior student of Thomas', having trained with him for over 13 years. Their conversation deeply explores the transformative power of breath work, bridging ancient mystical traditions with cutting-edge science.Breath is both a core element of spiritual practice and a physical process that directs the functioning of our nervous systems. It impacts how our brain stores memories, especially traumatic ones, and therefore plays a huge role in trauma healing and nervous system regulation.Rae and Thomas discuss how breath is also a portal into your unconscious mind and the depth of your spirit. Tune in to learn how to breathe in a way that supports somatic healing, connection with life, and a renewed feeling of vitality.✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

About Dr. Laura Gallaher:Dr. Laura Gallaher is a professional speaker and organizational psychologist who inspires driven self-starters to transform their relationship with themselves and accomplish more than ever. She combines insights on radical self-acceptance with humor to create a unique connection with her audience. Despite being a national best-selling author, Dr. Laura stands out from the typical "academic" personality of her PhD peers. Her notable achievements include being hired by NASA to reshape organizational culture after the Columbia accident, leading significant changes in performance management at Disney, and inspiring Yahoo's global teams to pursue transformation from within. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Dr. Laura Gallaher discuss:NASA's organizational culture and its role in major space disastersThe importance of psychological safety in high-stakes environmentsThe conflict between intuition and evidence-based decision-makingLeadership blind spots, self-awareness, and radical self-acceptanceBuilding trust, collaboration, and vulnerability within teams Key Takeaways:NASA's culture contributed to the Columbia tragedy by discouraging engineers from voicing concerns without hard data.Congress required NASA to undergo a culture change initiative before allowing shuttle flights to resume, embedding organizational development permanently at Kennedy Space Center.Dr. Laura's personal 360-degree feedback revealed blind spots, such as unintentional “bullying intellectually,” which led her to embrace radical self-acceptance.Tools like collaboration contracts and vulnerability exercises helped leaders manage defensiveness, foster trust, and improve team dynamics. "When you have higher self acceptance, it creates a path for others to do the same… because when you have high self acceptance, you can be vulnerable… but vulnerability is courageous, and courage is contagious.” — Dr. Laura Gallaher Connect with Dr. Laura Gallaher: Website: https://drlauragallaher.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-gallaher-phdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drlauragallaher/Discover Your Self-Acceptance Score: https://selfacceptancequiz.com/ See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Dr. Willow and Leah sit down with scholar Dr. Marguerite Rigoglioso, who's spent decades researching something most of us never learned in history class: sacred sexuality was central to ancient spiritual practices, and figures like Mother Mary may have been tantric masters, not celibate virgins.

Welcome to this week's episode of Fostering Change, hosted by Rob Scheer.
Hayley Blunden, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Management at the Kogod School of Business at American University where she focuses on researching how leaders can make challenging workplace interactions more productive. Mike Petrusky asks Professor Blunden about the new world of work and the workplace and why she believes that human interactions are at the core of organizational success. They explore how managers should take the time to reflect on how their decisions impact workplace dynamics and personal interactions, and why delegation should be carefully managed to empower subordinates rather than burden them. Asynchronous voice communication is an innovative way to enhance perceptions of competence and likability in the workplace and asking for advice rather than feedback can lead to more specific and actionable developmental information. Mike and Professor Blunden agree that leaders must think differently in today's built environment and they share the inspiration and the practical advice you will need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!

Guest Rebecca Winthrop is a leading global authority on education, the director of the Center for Universal Education at Brookings, and an adjunct professor at Georgetown University. She is dedicated to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive in life, work, and as an engaged citizen. She leads cutting-edge research and initiatives aimed at transforming education systems around the world to better support children's learning and development. Rebecca is a trusted advisor to both school communities and national and international organizations. Her expertise is sought by many, including parent networks, schools, district education leaders, the White House, the United Nations, and Fortune 500 companies. Rebecca's work is centered on developing and advocating for evidence-based strategies that bring people together—families, educators, policymakers, and companies—to help children maximize their potential. She is the co-author with Jenny Anderson of The Disengaged Teen: Helping Kids Learn Better, Feel Better, and Live Better. She holds a PhD from Columbia University's Teachers College, an MA from its School of International and Public Affairs, and a BA from Swarthmore College. Summary Jeff and Rebecca explore how schools' outdated designs hinder student agency and engagement. They unpack the four “disengagement modes,” highlight practices that foster curiosity and autonomy, and stress the role of families, teachers, and systemic reform in helping students become lifelong, self-directed learners. Key Takeaways Outdated Structures vs. Agency: Schools were built for compliance, not curiosity—modern learning must cultivate student agency and exploration. Four Modes of Engagement: Students move among Passenger, Achiever, Resistor, and Explorer engagement modes. Pathways Forward: Family collaboration, autonomy-supportive teaching, and project-based learning help students thrive and connect knowledge to real life.

Today, I am delighted to reconnect with two previous guests, Dr. Darren Candow. Dr. Candow is a distinguished professor and an internationally renowned researcher on creatine monohydrate, nutrition, and physical activity, whom I had the pleasure of speaking with on Episode 301, where we discussed creatine. We are doing an AMA session today, delving into various themes surrounding creatine, from debunking outdated RDA recommendations to exploring the synergies between strength training and creatine efficacy. We examine the cognitive benefits of creatine, investigating its interactions with caffeine and its implications for bone health, hydration, anabolic resistance, and metabolic health. You will find today's AMA session as enlightening and enriching as I did while recording it. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: The safety and efficacy of creatine as a supplement How creatine increases muscle mass and reduces protein catabolism The benefits of combining creatine with protein Is it better to take creatine before or after a workout? How creatine supplementation may improve brain performance and mental clarity Why exercise is essential for those who want to experience the benefits of creatine for maintaining their bone health The benefits of resistance-band workouts for post-menopausal women Are there any age-related limits for creatine supplementation? Bio: Dr. Darren Candow Dr. Darren Candow, PhD, CSEP-CEP, is Professor and Director of the Aging Muscle and Bone Health Laboratory in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina, Canada. The overall objectives of Dr. Candow's research program are to develop effective lifestyle interventions that incorporate nutrition (primarily creatine monohydrate) and physical activity (resistance training), with practical and clinical relevance for improving musculoskeletal aging and reducing the risk of falls and fractures. Dr. Candow has published over 120 peer-refereed journal manuscripts, supervised over 20 MSc and PhD students, and received research funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation, the National Institute of Health, and the Nutricia Research Foundation.

Compassion, empathy, and science have all been under rapid-fire attack during the second Trump Administration. This is especially true towards Queer and Transgender communities, though other minority communities within the United States are also being targeted. Dr. Matthew D. Skinta, PhD, ABPP, is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Affiliated Faculty of Women and Gender Studies at Roosevelt University in Chicago. He helped us better understand what areas of the science community are being targeted, what research projects have been cancelled, and on what grounds. We also discussed the discrimination against individuals who identify with diversity, equity, and inclusion principles surrounding topics of gender and gender nonconformity. We talked about “conversion therapy” which attempts to brainwash folks to believe they are straight and how it doesn't work. Matthew and I met at a Harvard conference for psychedelic assisted therapy. This was a fascinating interview. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Tyler Panzner, a PhD scientist specializing in genetic health optimization, to discuss the most common mistakes people make with supplements. He emphasizes the importance of integrating both genetic data and blood work to create personalized wellness strategies, noting that while genetics reveal potential vulnerabilities, lifestyle and epigenetics determine how those genes express. Dr. Panzner also highlights the significance of methylation genes (like COMT), which impact neurotransmitters and detoxification, touches on the role of GLP-1s, as well as how psychedelics can be helpful tools. Overall, the conversation reinforces the value of precision health—leveraging genetic insights alongside lifestyle factors to make smarter, safer choices in supplementation.Dr. Tyler Panzner is a Ph.D. scientist with a deep background in pharmacology, cancer, neuroscience, and inflammation research. His passion for how different substances affect the body has been lifelong, but about seven years ago, he found his true calling in genetics and personalized medicine. Since then, he's been on a mission to create personalized vitamin, supplement, and lifestyle protocols tailored to each individual's unique biology.His approach is all about understanding what your cells truly need and uncovering which vitamins, supplements, or foods might not be a good match for your genetic makeup. He firmly believes that by aligning your habits with your genes, not only can you feel your best every day, but you can also lower your risk for chronic diseases in the long run. His practice focuses on genetically optimizing health, helping people unlock their body's full potential to truly thrive.Dr. Panzner sees a massive lack in supplement education across all sectors of healthcare, which shows up as unnecessary suffering as people feel worse due to the wrong supplement recommendations. He is driven to educate both practitioners for their practice and consumers in the supplement aisle of the store so they can make more informed decisions regarding their or their patient's supplementation strategies.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the podcast!3:31 Dr. Tyler Panzner's Bio4:03 Welcome him to the show!5:05 This biggest mistake with supplementation9:31 Iron chelation & anemia12:35 CBD & Serotonin blockers15:51 GLP-1s: the good & bad24:25 Genetics vs lifestyle26:37 Cross-referencing with lab work 31:11 Histamine issues35:59 *ALIGN MAT*37:36 Methylation genes44:30 MTHFR52:46 Genetic testing57:17 Alzheimer's & APOE1:00:58 Psychedelics & genetics1:11:58 Natural ways to raise BDNF1:12:41 His finale piece of advice1:15:34 Where to find him1:16:16 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:https://drtylerpanzner.com/InstagramFacebookLinkedInYouTubeTikTokAlign Mat - $250 off with code: BIOHACKERBABESEp 291: Align Mat with Alyssa & MikeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
When most of us addicts wash up on the shores of recovery to say we've lost our wayseems a gross understatement. The bottom has usually fallen out from under our lives.We feel utterly lost and painfully alone. The world we knew is gone and no new world has arrived to take its place. We need a map to orient us and a guide to help us find our way home.This is the world Jungian analyst Dr. James Hollis describes in his book “Living Between Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience in Changing Times.” It's likely an all too familiar world to most of us addicts. Hollis says not only are we lost, but the religious structures and cultural belief systems that supported yesterday's lost souls seem out of reach for many of today's men and women.The series describes this lost-world and how to access the “Inner Resilience” needed to find our way home. This episode is in three parts – each is focused on insights into the gifts depth psychology can bring to us in recovery. Part #2 covers:A. Our psyche wishes to be heardB. Fear and lethargy are our greatest opponentsShow notes:Living Between Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience in Changing Times by James Hollis, PhD.The Power of Two Way Prayer

In this episode, Stewart Alsop speaks with Nico Sarian, Executive Director of the Eternity Foundation and PhD candidate in Religious Studies, about the strange currents that run through Armenian history, the fractured birth of early Christianity, and the survival of Gnostic and Hermetic traditions into the Renaissance. The conversation weaves through questions of empire and nation state, mysticism and metaphysics, the occult roots of modern science, and the unsettling horizon of accelerationism, drawing unexpected lines between the ancient world, the bureaucratic order critiqued by David Graeber, and our present entanglement with surveillance and identity. For more on Nico's work, see The Eternity Foundation at eternity.giving.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces Nico Sarian and sets the stage with Armenian history and the legacy of empire.05:00 The rise of early Christianity is traced, showing its fractures, Gnostic currents, and the persistence of esotericism.10:00 Hermeticism enters the frame, connecting mystical knowledge with the scientific spirit of the Renaissance.15:00 Empire versus nation state is explored, touching on bureaucracy, power, and identity.20:00 Mysticism and metaphysics are tied to questions of apocalypse, renewal, and hidden traditions.25:00 Nico brings in David Graeber, critiquing modern bureaucracy and how systems shape consciousness.30:00 Accelerationism surfaces, framed as both danger and possibility in modernity.35:00 Surveillance and identity are examined, echoing ancient struggles for meaning.40:00 Esotericism and religious syncretism are reconsidered as resources for navigating technological upheaval.45:00 The conversation closes with reflections on continuity, rupture, and the strange endurance of wisdom.Key InsightsOne of the central insights from Nico Sarian's conversation with Stewart Alsop is that Armenian history carries a unique vantage point on the ancient world, positioned between empire and nation, East and West. Its survival under domination reveals how smaller cultures can preserve mysticism, ritual, and identity even within overwhelming imperial structures.The episode underscores how early Christianity was never monolithic but a field of competing visions. Gnostics, proto-orthodox bishops, and other sects fought over scripture, ritual, and authority, leaving traces of suppressed traditions that still haunt religious and philosophical discourse today.A powerful thread emerges around Hermeticism and Renaissance science, where occult traditions did not oppose but actively shaped early scientific inquiry. The magical and the rational were not enemies; rather, they grew together in ways that modern categories tend to obscure.Sarian and Alsop discuss empire versus the nation state, showing how forms of political order encode metaphysical assumptions. Empires sought transcendence through universality, while nation states leaned on identity and bureaucracy, each carrying spiritual implications for those living under them.Another insight is the role of mysticism and apocalypse as recurring frameworks for understanding collapse and renewal. Whether in ancient prophetic traditions or modern accelerationism, there is a yearning for rupture that promises transformation but also carries danger.David Graeber's critique of bureaucracy becomes a lens for seeing how systems shape human consciousness. What appears as neutral administration actually molds imagination, desire, and even metaphysical assumptions about what is possible in the world.Finally, the episode points to the enduring tension between surveillance, identity, and esotericism. Just as ancient sects guarded secret knowledge from empire, modern individuals navigate the exposure of digital systems, suggesting that hidden wisdom traditions may offer unexpected resources for our technological present.
Wildfires are reshaping the landscapes of the American West—and with them, the way we think about public lands and climate resilience. Over the past few decades, fires have grown larger, more severe, and harder to predict. As climate change accelerates and management debates intensify, the stakes couldn't be higher for our forests.Today, we're digging into the science behind these trends and what they mean for the future of our public lands. Joining us is Jacob Levine, whose research explores the complex intersection of climate, land management, and wildfire behavior.Jacob Levine is a plant‐community ecologist and wildfire scientist whose work looks at how climate change, forest management, and extreme weather shape the way fires behave, and how managers, policymakers, and communities can fosters more resilient landscapes.

An immersive journey into the author's lifelong attachment to video games, revealing how they shape us, shatter us, and give us the courage to start again Of Floating Isles: On Growing Pains and Video Games (Arsenal Pulp Press, 2025) is a captivating collection of personal essays that unpack the mystifying and often intimate roles that video games play in our lives. Interweaving memoir with cultural critique, Kawika Guillermo explores the subtle yet transformative influences of video games in shaping them as a queer and mixed-race grandson of two preachers; as a traveller, immigrant, and games scholar; and as a father, caregiver, and mourner. Through a mixture of fanciful musing, rigorous inquiry, and unflinching self-reflection, Of Floating Isles reframes the gamer's retreat from others not as social isolation, but as a quest for a different community, one where they feel seen, heard, and understood. This deep-seated longing to belong, Guillermo suggests, forms the imaginative worlds of video games and the floating isles they conjure. By exploring their own lifelong attachment to video games, Guillermo shows how games can spark rage, confusion, and the desire to escape, but these emotions are not necessarily bad - they are the growing pains that many young people must work through. So too can games provide reflective realms to dwell, to imagine, and to build spaces for queer, trans, racialized, and neurodiverse groups. Envisioning games as forms of poetic interaction, Of Floating Isles boldly conveys their truth-telling powers: their ability to offer guidance in times of loss and hardship, and their power to reveal the oppressive mechanisms of our "real" world. Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since 1985. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds two PhDs in game studies (LMU & University of Passau). Currently, he's teaching as a professor for game design and game studies at the HNU University of Applied Sciences Neu-Ulm, Germany, has submitted his third dissertation at the University of Vechta, holds the position as lead editor at the online journal Titel kulturmagazin for the game section, hosts the German local radio show Replay Value and is editor of the weekly game research newsletter DiGRA D-A-CH Game Studies Watchlist.

Send us a textHow maternal obesity epigenetically reprograms liver metabolism in offspring, predisposing them to metabolic disease.Episode Summary: Dr. Elvira Mass talks about macrophages, specialized immune cells that vary by tissue and play crucial roles beyond fighting infections, such as supporting organ function; Kupffer cells (liver macrophages) and how maternal obesity during pregnancy reprograms these cells in offspring, leading to fatty liver disease, fibrosis, and even cancer later in life, based on mouse studies showing epigenetic and metabolic shifts like increased glycolysis, with insights into developmental windows, nutritional mismatches, and broader implications for human health.About the guest: Elvira Mass, PhD, is a Professor of Developmental Immunology at the University of Bonn in Germany, where her lab focuses on the development and function of macrophages in various tissues.Discussion Points:Macrophages are diverse, tissue-specific cells that develop from embryonic precursors, performing unique tasks like providing growth factors in organs.Kupffer cells in the liver monitor blood from the gut and are exposed to maternal nutrients during fetal development.Maternal obesity (induced in mice via high-fat diets) programs offspring Kupffer cells epigenetically, leading to fatty liver in newborns and progression to diseases like cancer, even on normal diets.A "nutritional mismatch" between in utero high-fat exposure and postnatal normal diets worsens liver issues, as cells are "prepared" for excess high-fat intake but face scarcity.Key mechanism: Reprogrammed Kupffer cells overproduce apolipoproteins, driving excess lipid uptake in liver cells (hepatocytes), linked to transcription factor HIF-1α and a shift to inefficient glycolysis.Offspring from obese mothers show sex differences (males affected earlier) and persistent changes.Human parallels: Rising childhood fatty liver (once rare and tied to alcoholism) correlates with maternal obesity; studies like Dutch Hunger Winter show early gestational disruptions cause lifelong issues.Broader factors: Microbiome changes, specific fatty acids, and environmental toxins like microplastics may also reprogram macrophages; diets in studies vary beyond fat content, affecting results.Advice: Maintain consistent healthy habits pre- and during pregnancy; avoid sudden diet shifts, as developmental windows are critical for long-lived cells like Kupffer cells.Reference Paper:Study: Kupffer cell programming bySupport the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

Episode 274 of The Business Development Podcast brings the inspiring journey of Dr. Juan Salinas, a food scientist, entrepreneur, and natural bodybuilder who defied the odds to create P-nuff Crunch, a plant-based protein snack that won the attention of Mark Cuban on Shark Tank. From his humble beginnings in Honduras to earning a PhD in food science from Rutgers and leading product innovations at Nestlé and Kraft, Dr. Salinas combined scientific expertise with his passion for health to revolutionize the snacking industry. His story highlights the grit, sacrifice, and relentless vision required to bring an innovative idea to life, even when it meant investing his life savings and building his own manufacturing facility.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Salinas shares insights on nutrition, obesity, and the mindset shifts needed to make healthier food choices, while also opening up about the challenges of entrepreneurship. From balancing bodybuilding with creating shelf-stable products, to enduring setbacks and pivots in scaling his company, he reveals the resilience behind every milestone. His Shark Tank experience—preparing in isolation during COVID, boldly negotiating with Cuban, and ultimately securing a deal—underscores the importance of preparation, courage, and belief in your mission. See his Shark Tank win here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp45o5i7zhE, Check out P-nuff Crunch here: https://www.pnuff.com/Key Takeaways: 1. Your background doesn't define your future—Dr. Salinas came from Honduras with little English and built a career as a PhD food scientist.2. Passion plus expertise creates innovation—combining bodybuilding and food science led him to invent P-nuff Crunch.3. Entrepreneurship requires sacrifice—he invested his life savings and took huge personal risks to build his company.4. Don't wait for permission—big corporations rejected his healthy snack ideas, so he built his own path.5. Manufacturing is a business itself—starting a facility taught him new challenges in HR, compliance, and operations.6. Preparation beats pressure—his Shark Tank success came from 10 days of focus, rehearsing every scenario until he was ready.7. Mindset is everything—he retrained his brain to crave healthier foods, just like quitting smoking.8. Strength training builds more than muscle—it increases metabolism and teaches discipline that carries into business.9. Adaptability keeps you alive—pivoting from “peanut puffs” to “protein puffs” kept his brand competitive.10. Divine timing matters—Mark Cuban's wife had tried P-nuff before the pitch, showing that hard work plus faith creates opportunities.If you listen to The Business Development Podcast, you belong in The Catalyst Club.
The compulsory service for young men in the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) created bonds across ethnic, religious, and social lines. These bonds persisted even after the horrific violence of the 1990s, in which many of these men found themselves on opposite sides of the front lines. In Utopia of the Uniform: Affective Afterlives of the Yugoslav People's Army (Duke UP, 2024), Tanja Petrović draws on memories and material effects of dozens of JNA conscripts to show how their experience of military service points to futures, forms of collectivity, and relations between the state and the individual different from those that prevailed in the post-Yugoslav reality. Petrović argues that the power of repetitive, ritualized, and performative practices that constituted military service in the JNA provided a framework for drastically different men to live together and befriend each other. While Petrović and her interlocutors do not idealize the JNA, they acknowledge its capacity to create interpersonal relationships and affective bonds that brought the key political ideas of collectivity, solidarity, egalitarianism, education, and comradeship into being.
