In this live PAC Talk session, coach Pieter Vodden sits down with writer and strength-training historian Michael Joseph Gross to explore what strength really means — not just for performance, but for longevity and quality of life. They trace the history of strength culture from ancient Greece to modern gyms, unpack how we've told stories about muscle over the centuries, and why we're only just beginning to understand how powerful strength training is for living longer, better lives.Michael shares how learning a scary new sport in his 40s pushed him into serious training and ultimately into eight years of research on strength — from motor units and neurology to myth, culture, and identity. He and Pieter break down why strength training has to become as automatic as brushing your teeth, how a simple, consistent program can change your body and mind at any age, and why the real magic happens when strength becomes part of your story, not just your routine.They dive into the science of muscle and aging, including landmark studies on people in their 90s who dramatically improved strength, independence, and life expectancy after just eight weeks of resistance training. Michael explains how lifting can reduce risk for chronic disease, support brain health, and even rival antidepressants for many people. The conversation also tackles the myth of “brain vs. brawn,” showing how muscle actually supports cognition, emotional resilience, and empathy.A big part of this talk centers on women and strength, featuring the story of Jan Todd and the fight to normalize heavyweight training for women. Pieter and Michael break down persistent myths about “bulking,” “girl exercises vs. boy exercises,” and the way fitness marketing has confused people about what really works. They also talk about the synergy between strength and cardio, the pros and cons of bodybuilding culture, why relatability matters more than extremity, and how community gyms like Pharos help people build not just muscle, but a shared sense of meaning and connection through training.Connect with MichaelBuy his bookInstagramWebsite

Ja pitäkää sitä pelastuksenanne, että Herra on kärsivällinen. Näinhän myös rakas veljemme Paavali on hänelle annetun viisauden mukaisesti teille kirjoittanut. Kun siis te, rakkaat ystävät, olette ennalta selvillä tästä kaikesta, niin olkaa varuillanne. Älkää antako jumalattomien johtaa itseänne harhaan, niin että putoatte omalta varmalta pohjaltanne. Kasvakaa meidän Herramme Jeesuksen Kristuksen armossa ja tuntemisessa. Hänelle kunnia nyt ja iankaikkisuuden päivään asti. Aamen.2. Piet. 3: 15, 17-18Seurassasi on Kirsi Jokela

Herran päivä tulee kuin varas. Sinä päivänä taivaat katoavat jylisten, taivaankappaleet palavat ja hajoavat. Silloin paljastuu maa ja kaikki, mitä ihminen on maan päällä saanut aikaan. Koska tämä kaikki näin hajoaa, millaisia onkaan pyhässä elämässä ja hurskaissa teoissa oltava niiden, jotka odottavat Jumalan päivää ja jouduttavat sen tuloa - tuon päivän, joka saa taivaat liekehtien hajoamaan ja taivaankappaleet sulamaan kuumuudesta. Mutta meillä on hänen lupauksensa, ja siihen luottaen me odotamme uusia taivaita ja uutta maata, joissa vanhurskaus vallitsee.2. Piet. 3: 10-14Seurassasi on Kirsi Jokela

Trzynaście lat po śmierci Erazma Ciołka — jednego z najważniejszych polskich fotoreporterów dokumentujących działalność opozycji demokratycznej lat 80. — jego twórczość wciąż budzi emocje i wzruszenie. W rocznicę odejścia artysty w audycji radiowej wspominała go żona, Agata Ciołek, opowiadając o jego odwadze, pasji i niezwykłym spojrzeniu na świat.Erazm Ciołek zasłynął zdjęciami, które stały się ikonami najnowszej historii Polski — m.in. fotografiami ze strajku w Stoczni Gdańskiej czy z pogrzebu Grzegorza Przemyka, gdzie uchwycił poruszający moment z księdzem Jerzym Popiełuszką i Barbarą Sadowską, matką zamordowanego maturzysty.— „Myśmy nazywali to zdjęcie Pietą, bo to była taka współczesna Pieta” — wspominała Agata Ciołek.Fotograf był świadkiem i kronikarzem przełomowych wydarzeń lat 80. — wchodził w sam środek demonstracji, by uchwycić emocje protestujących.— „On wchodził na rusztowania, na drzewa, żeby zrobić dobre zdjęcie. Ludzie mają wrażenie, że był wszędzie. No nie był wszędzie, choć pewno chciałby być” — mówiła jego żona z uśmiechem.Ciołek był także znany ze swojej niezwykłej precyzji i kadru doskonałego.— „On właściwie swoje zdjęcie jak robił, to już je kadrował. To było sto procent kadru. Nie trzeba było nic wycinać” — dodaje Agata Ciołek.Po 1989 roku fotograf stopniowo odsunął się od dokumentowania polityki. Jak opowiada jego żona, momentem przełomowym była sytuacja, gdy na jedno wydarzenie przyszło kilkudziesięciu fotografów.— „Wtedy mój mąż stwierdził, że już w tej chwili tylu jest ludzi, którzy fotografują politykę, że on może z tego zrezygnować” — wspomina.Pamięć o artyście jest jednak wciąż żywa. W 2007 roku otrzymał Laur Stowarzyszenia Dziennikarzy Polskich, a dziś jego imieniem przyznawana jest nagroda dla fotografii społecznie zaangażowanej.— „Jestem dumna, że młodzi fotoreporterzy dostają nagrodę imienia mojego męża — za to, że chcą widzieć świat swoimi oczami i dokumentować to, co naprawdę warte zapamiętania” — mówi Agata Ciołek.Na koniec rozmowy Pani Agata Ciołek wspomniała swoje ulubione zdjęcie wykonane przez męża — fotografię Jana Pawła II z pielgrzymki do Częstochowy:— „Ojciec Święty jest rozświetlony, dookoła czerń, a u dołu widać księży w świetle. To bardzo nastrojowe, piękne zdjęcie — tylko jego zarys świetlny”.Wspomnienie o Erazmie Ciołku to przypomnienie, że fotografia może być nie tylko sztuką, ale i świadectwem epoki. Po Erazmie Ciołku został zapis naszej najnowszej historii. I to jest coś, co zostanie na zawsze.

In this PAC Talk Mini, host Emylee Vodden shares a simple nightly ritual she practices with her kids — one that's quietly reshaped how she approaches gratitude, leadership, and growth.Each night before bed, she asks them:“What was the best part of your day?”Sometimes the answers come easily. Other times, she has to pull a little, dig deeper, and remind them — and herself — that gratitude is a practice, not a mood. It's how we learn to look for light even on the hard days.Emylee reflects on how this small act of reflection has grown into a larger philosophy at Pharos: to lead with light, to find joy in the process, and to systemize positivity in a world that constantly demands more.✨ Try it tonight: Ask yourself — what was the best part of my day?

Most of us default to one style of “help,” even when another would serve better. In this PAC Talk, we break down the difference between Push, Pull, and Hold—and give you a quick self-check to pick what you need today.Push = pressure + accountability to raise your ceiling (targets, deadlines, coaching cues).Pull = inspiration + vision that draws you forward (community energy, role models, events).Hold = support + steadiness so you can regulate and recover (boundaries, rest, presence).We'll map common training/life scenarios to each mode, plus a 60-second quiz to decide your next move. Right help, right time. That's the game.If you are in Southern California come train with us Echo ParkRedondo BeachIdyllwildPalm SpringsFollow Pharos, Piet and Emylee on Instagram for more fitness related content.

In der Oktober-Ausgabe der Sendung "Simon trifft..." begrüßte Simon Ladewig den Kindermusiker Piet Rakete. Piet Rakete – alias Patrick Wilkens – ist ein Musiker aus Schleswig-Holstein, der Kinder mit auf fantastische Klangreisen nimmt. In seinen Mitmach-Songs treffen Kinder auf bunte Figuren wie den „Schreckschneck“ oder reisen mit der Rakete zum „Dschungelplaneten“. Mit eingängigen Melodien, viel Witz und einem großen Herz für Fantasie begeistert er Kinder und Eltern gleichermaßen. Doch der Weg in die Kindermusik war für Piet Rakete alles andere als selbstverständlich: Bevor er sein Raketenprojekt startete, war er in verschiedenen Bands aktiv und arbeitete als Kreativdirektor in einer Werbeagentur.

In this episode of Pac Talk, Emylee Vodden dives deep into how we talk to kids about food—and how those conversations shape their relationship with health for life. What starts as a heartbreaking moment with a five-year-old worried about “getting fat” turns into a powerful reflection on breaking generational cycles of diet culture, shame, and restriction.

Piet Vodden breaks down what “coaching” really means in 2025—how we got from big-box machines to CrossFit's barbell revolution, and now to the hybrid model that blends functional bodybuilding, conditioning, running clubs, and community. Piet explains why great coaching is a learned craft: commanding a room, progressing skills safely, creating energy, and delivering results without burning people out. Piet breaks down the lost art of group coaching, the difference between PT and group leadership, and why education, reps on the floor, and standards matter more than TikTok tips.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW SCHEDULE  9-5 GOOD EVENING: The show begins in Las Vegas as the Strip struggles with decline. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Jeff Bliss, Las Vegas Tourism Decline and Anaheim Development Jeff Bliss reports a significant decline in Las Vegas tourism, with a 12% drop in visitors, which he attributes to the city's nickel and diming practices by major corporations like MGM and Caesar's Palace, coupled with the rise of online gambling. Despite increased gaming revenue, the broader city economy, including restaurants and hotels not part of the strip, is suffering. Vegas resorts are now offering discounts and food credits to attract visitors. Nevada's unique lack of a state lottery, forcing residents to cross state lines for games like Powerball, also highlights a peculiar disadvantage. In Anaheim, a proposed skyway/gondola system aims to connect Disneyland, hotels, and sports venues. 915-930 Brandon Weichert, Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, and Economic Impact Brandon Weichert and John Batchelor discuss artificial intelligence and quantum computing, with Weichert expressing optimism for AI's long-term economic benefits, though he finds a 7% GDP growth projection very optimistic. He believes AI will augment, not replace, human work, leading to positive productivity gains over time, especially in manufacturing and tech sectors. The conversation touches on AI's current competitiveness in generating novel research hypotheses, nearly matching humans in a Science magazine study, but humans still slightly lead in designing experiments. Weichertsees quantum computing as the next breakthrough 930-945  Professor Richard Epstein, Federal Power, National Guard Deployment, and University Funding Professor Richard Epstein discusses two cases involving the Trump administration's use of federal power. First, he analyzes Judge Charles Brier's ruling that Trump's deployment of National Guard troops for immigration enforcement in Southern California was partially illegal, citing the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. Epstein distinguishes between protecting federal interests and overstepping into local policing, as with traffic violations or raids far from Los Angeles. He criticizes the political polarization between Trump and Governor Gavin Newsom for hindering cooperation during emergencies. Second, Epstein addresses Judge Allison Burroughs' interim decision against Trump's freezing of Harvard's research funds over anti-Semitism allegations, warning of long-term damage to US medical research. 945-1000 CONTINUED Professor Richard Epstein, Federal Power, National Guard Deployment, and University FundingProfessor Richard Epstein discusses two cases involving the Trump administration's use of federal power.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Bradley Bowman, Chinese Military Parade and US Security Bradley Bowman discusses a recent massive Chinese military parade, noting the presence of Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-un, with the president of Iran also in attendance. He views the parade as a demonstration of China's decades-long effort to build a military capable of defeating the US in the Pacific, highlighting the erosion of American security and increased likelihood of a Taiwan Strait conflict. Specific concerns include modernized hypersonic YJ seriesanti-ship missiles challenging US naval interception, the DF61 intercontinental ballistic missile aimed at the US, and a low-observable tailless drone for manned fighters.1015-1030 Conrad Black, Canadian Politics, Mr. Carney's Government, and Regional Challenges Conrad Black discusses the challenges facing Mr. Carney's new Canadian government, particularly the unrest in Alberta. Carney's extreme green views threaten Alberta's oil and ranching economy, leading to a significant separatist movement that could see the province join the United States if its energy exports aren't facilitated. Black notes that Carney has yet to reveal his plans to address this or the historical cultural and political challenges posed by Quebec, a wealthy province with aspirations for independence. Carney has been robust on national security, agreeing with President Trump that Canada needs increased defense spending.1030-1045 Jim McTague, Lancaster County Economy and National Job Market Jim McTague provides an optimistic view of Lancaster County's economy, contrasting with national job market slowdowns. He notes low unemployment at 3.4% and no personal reports of job losses. The county's economy is buoyed by affluent retirees, who contribute millions to local restaurants and businesses, and a booming tourism sector attracting 10 million visitors annually. McTague highlights the importance of agriculture and the Amish culture as economic backbones. However, housing prices are significantly elevated, posing a challenge for younger, lower-wage workers. Growth is concentrated in suburban townships due to a superior healthcare industry and expanding data centers and pharmaceutical companies attracting professionals.1045-1100 CONTINUED Jim McTague, Lancaster County Economy and National Job Market Jim McTague provides an optimistic view of Lancaster County's economy, contrasting with national job market slowdowns.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution Molly Beer discusses Angelica Schuyler Church (1755-1814), a prominent figure during the American Revolution. Born to the influential Schuyler family in Albany, Angelica was well-educated, a trait uncommon for women of her time but typical for Dutch families. She eloped with John Carter (later John Barker Church), much to her family's dismay, a decision perhaps driven by love for the cosmopolitan Englishman. Angelica was deeply involved in the revolutionary cause, supporting the French army and maintaining a strong patriotic identity even while living in London after the war. She cultivated extensive connections with key figures like George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and Lafayette .1115-1130 CONTINUED Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution 1130-1145 CONTINUED Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution Molly Beer discusses 1145-1200 CONTINUED Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution Molly Beer . FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Henry Sokolski, Plutonium, Nuclear Proliferation, and International Debate Henry Sokolski discusses the global debate surrounding plutonium, a highly poisonous substance used in nuclear weapons, especially by China, South Korea, and Britain. He explains that plutonium can be extracted from nuclear power reactors and quickly used to make a bomb, similar to the Nagasaki weapon. Sokolski criticizes the US Energy Department for suggesting that new reactor designs like Natrium and Ollo can extract plutonium while leaving enough radionuclides to prevent bomb-making, a claim previously debunked by studies. He highlights proliferation risks, citing South Korea's historical attempts to use civil reprocessing to acquire nuclear weapons.1215-1230 Jack Burnham, Manhattan Project Lessons for AI and US-China Talent Competition Jack Burnham explains that China views the Manhattan Project as a key lesson in harnessing international talent for national strategic goals, particularly in artificial intelligence. The US successfully recruited theoretical physicists fleeing Nazi Germany, nurturing a scientific reserve for the atomic bomb project. Burnham notes that after World War II, the US continued to prioritize basic science funding, leading to its technological edge. However, he suggests the US is currently struggling with this, as funding issues and regulatory uncertainty are driving American scientists abroad and limiting foreign talent attraction while countries like China, the EU, France, and Canada actively recruit US scientists.1230-1245 Nathaniel Peters, The Nature of Murder and Evil in Andrew Klavan's "The Kingdom of Cain" Nathaniel Peters reviews Andrew Klavan's "The Kingdom of Cain," which explores murder and evil through fiction and real-life examples. Klavan, a former atheist, was propelled to faith by Klavan, a former atheist, was propelled to faith by pondering evil, suggesting that recognizing objective moral order is necessary to condemn acts like those of the Marquis de Sade. The book examines Leopold and Loeb, who murdered to prove their superiority and live beyond good and evil, but left a crucial clue, highlighting their human fallibility. Klavan also considers Dostoevsky's Raskolnikov, whose rationalized yet pointless murder leads to a breakdown of his self-deception. Klavan argues artistic creation, like Michelangelo's Pietà, can redeem or transform the subject of art.1245-100 AM CONTINUED Nathaniel Peters, The Nature of Murder and Evil in Andrew Klavan's "The Kingdom of Cain" Nathaniel Peters reviews Andrew Klavan's "The Kingdom of Cain," which explores murder and evil through fiction and real-life examples.

On this solo episode of Pac Talk, Pieter Vodden dives deep into the reality of sacrifice in fitness. What does it take to be great at one discipline—and what do you give up along the way? From bodybuilding to Hyrox, half marathons, endurance hikes, and strength training, Piet shares how he balances competing priorities while still preserving muscle, family time, and long-term health.At 47, Piet has learned that the real key isn't chasing perfection in one lane but building general physical preparedness (GPP)—a foundation of muscle, conditioning, and mobility that serves you for life. He covers:The trade-offs between specialization vs. hybrid trainingHow sacrifice plays into bodybuilding, endurance sports, and CrossFitWhy muscle, VO₂ max, and mobility are essential for longevity after 40How sleep, nutrition, recovery, and hydration impact performanceThe mindset shift of training to be “good at many things” rather than “great at one”Whether you're chasing a marathon PR, training for Hyrox, or just trying to stay strong and healthy as you age, this episode will help you define what's worth sacrificing—and what isn't.Welcome to the Pac, please make sure you subscribe wherever you are listening to this show and if you loved this show please leave us a 5 star review in the iTunes store.

Procrastination isn't a time‑management problem—it's an emotion‑management one. In this solo episode, I unpack how shame fuels the procrastination loop and why “I'll do it tomorrow” keeps us stuck. (This framing comes from researcher Tim Pychyl's work showing procrastination is about regulating feelings, not calendars.) I walk through a simple “Head, Heart, or Hands” check to pinpoint what's really blocking action—overthinking (head), emotional resistance (heart), or missing tools/skills/environment (hands)—and how to respond to each.Then we borrow from Anne‑Laure Le Cunff's Tiny Experiments and make a short pact: a tiny, curiosity‑driven step (your “bare minimum habit”) that trades judgment for feedback and momentum. By the end, you'll have one micro‑action to break the cycle today—and a playbook to repeat tomorrow.Welcome to the Pac, please make sure you subscribe wherever you are listening to this show and if you loved this show please leave us a 5 star review in the iTunes store.
