Podcasts about plain sight

Today's conversation is one I didn't expect to have, but I'm so glad we did. I'm joined by Ben Higgins, known from The Bachelor franchise, but more importantly, a man willing to talk honestly about something many of us feel and few of us admit: loneliness. Ben's book, Alone in Plain Sight: Searching for Connection When You're Seen But Not Known, explores what it's like to feel invisible, even while millions are watching. From reality TV to marriage, from church culture to platform pressure, Ben opens up about insecurity, performance, and the quiet fear that if people really knew us, they might not like us. We talk about: The difference between feeling unlovable vs. unlikable Why social media connection doesn't cure loneliness Performative Christianity and losing yourself in the process The courage it takes for men to admit loneliness How slowing down exposes what's actually going on inside Letting the right people speak into your life, and guarding your heart This isn't just a "Bachelor" conversation. It's about identity, community, vulnerability, and what it means to be fully known without performing. If you've ever wondered whether God actually likes you, or struggled to believe that the real you is enough, this episode will meet you there.

This week on Stay True Podcast, Madi sits down with former Bachelor Ben Higgins and his wife and esthetician, Jess Higgins, for a deeply honest conversation about loneliness, depression, anxiety, and the hope of real connection. Ben opens up about what it's like to feel alone even when you're surrounded by people, and how things started to change when he chose vulnerability over pretending. Jess shares about her postpartum journey and the isolation that can sneak in during seasons that are "supposed" to be joyful. Together, they talk about how shame loses its power when we bring our struggles into the light. If you've ever felt alone in a crowded room, struggled silently, or wondered how to find people who truly see you, this episode is your reminder: you are not the only one. There is hope, there is help, and there is a community ready to surround you with love.   Always remember to stay you and stay true.   Topics we dive into: The hidden reasons we can feel alone… even in a crowded room The scary first step that actually unlocks real connection Why would a Christian go on The Bachelor? The unexpected way serving others can pull you out of your own spiral How opening up about your pain can become the bridge to real community AND SO MUCH MORE!   Helpful Resources: Alone in Plain Sight by Ben Higgins: https://a.co/d/07jHlEFq Higgy Skin: https://higgyskin.com/ Dare To Be True by Madison Prewett Troutt: https://a.co/d/gdfpHX5 Stay True Website: https://www.staytruepodcast.com Stay True Merch: https://www.staytruepodcast.com/merch Branch Basics: Get 15% off Branch Basics with the code STAYTRUE at https://branchbasics.com/STAYTRUE #branchbasicspod Better Help: This show is brought to you by BetterHelp.

After a two-month break from the mic (and an incredible client takeover series), I'm back on The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast with one of the most vulnerable episodes I've ever recorded.In this deeply personal reflection, I share how my December 2025 ADHD diagnosis helped me finally make sense of the last three years of my life and business—and how rejection, unprocessed grief, and self-protection slowly pulled me out of my own marketing while I was still technically “showing up.”This episode is about what it looks like to keep producing, keep serving, keep grinding—while quietly disappearing from yourself.In This Episode, You'll Hear:Why I stepped away from the podcast—and what changed while I was goneHow my December 2025 ADHD diagnosis reframed my entire life story (and my business story)How I went from believing “I'm neurotypical but deficient” to recognizing that I'm neurodivergentThe moment of rejection in 2023 that created the core belief: “They don't want me.”How rejection sensitivity and emotional dysregulation showed up (what I now understand as ADHD/RSD)What “hiding in plain sight” looked like for me: removing myself from my marketing slowly, gradually, unconsciouslyHow my content shifted from story-led to framework-heavy—and why selling started to feel harderThe compounding layers of perimenopause, masking, burnout, trauma, and a shrinking sense of safetyA raw look at 2025: increasing mistakes, relying on AI for messaging, delegating my authority away, and feeling spiritually abandonedThe turning point in July 2025, when I sought God in my lowest moment and experienced deep healing and intimacy with JesusHow TikTok unexpectedly opened the door to ADHD awareness and self-recognitionMy diagnosis journey, medication changes (Strattera → Adderall → Vyvanse), and the grief work I'm doing in therapyWhat's changing now as I rebuild, show my face again, and re-enter my business with my full selfIf This Episode Resonated:If you've ever felt like you were “showing up” while disappearing…If you've built success while quietly shrinking…If rejection changed the way you see yourself…You are not alone.Follow me on TikTok where I'm sharing more of this journey in real time.And keep listening—I'll continue sharing what's unfolding next.Peace and love.Let's Connect: On Instagram On Facebook On LinkedIn On TikTok On my website

This week we are chatting with ultra cyclist and bikepacker Gregg Dunham all about his new film documenting the EPIC Stagecoach 400 race in Southern California!! Gregg also talks about what inspired "Hidden in Plain Sight" his film about a bikepack trip he took with friends through the Santa Monica mountains and some of his life challenges that inspired that project. Right now you can support Gregg by donating to his Seed and Spark campaign to help the Stagecoach film series get over the finish line of Post Production (I supported because I'm genuinely psyched to see it!)

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Alright, this one was special.We just wrapped the final class of OVTLYR University, and instead of getting cute or complicated, we went straight at something almost every trader sees… but not everyone truly understands: candlesticks.Not the fake guru version. Not the “this pattern guarantees profits” nonsense. Just what they actually are.Candlesticks are the history book of the market. That's it. They show you open, high, low, close. They show you who won the battle that day. Buyers or sellers. But they do not predict the future. They don't owe you anything. And they definitely aren't magic.We broke down hammers. Inverted hammers. Doji candles. Engulfing patterns. All the fancy names. And then we asked the real question… do these actually give you an edge, or are they just another tool that only works with discipline?Here's the honest truth:✅ A green candle just means it closed higher than it opened✅ A hammer shows sellers tried and failed✅ A doji signals indecision, not destiny✅ Patterns look perfect in hindsight✅ Without a plan, none of this mattersWe also talked about something way more important than candle shapes… psychology.That feeling when you don't sell at the top.That frustration when a winner pulls back.That temptation to stare at charts all day and call it “work.”Trading is not about catching tops and bottoms. It's about capturing the middle of the move with consistency and discipline. That's where real money is made.If you treat trading like a hobby, it will treat your account the same way. If you treat it like a business, you give yourself a real shot at building something powerful.This wasn't about memorizing patterns. It was about understanding price action, building rules, and executing with confidence.That's how you save time, make money, start winning, and reduce risk.Subscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.

New research from Brookings shows that rural counties with stronger access to post offices have more small‑business activity, even when broadband and other factors are the same. That suggests the postal network is doing far more economic heavy lifting than policymakers assume. We'll dig into the findings with Elena Patel, co-director of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center and a senior fellow in the Economic Studies Program at the Brookings Institution.

What if doctors and medical professionals, highly trained to identify child maltreatment through bruises and fractures, miss many injuries in children that leave no visible marks, yet are biologically and developmentally formative in ways that shape a child's entire quality of life and health?In this episode of Partnered with a Survivor, David and Ruth Mandel sit down with Dr. Norell Rosado, a child abuse pediatrician at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, to examine how child maltreatment is currently identified in medical settings and where that approach falls dangerously short. We discuss how we can assist medical practitioners to better assess for child abuse injuries and danger that may not be seen, by using a pattern based rather than an incident based approach. Dr. Rosado explains that bruises and fractures remain the primary lens through which child physical abuse is identified, even though neglect is the most common form of maltreatment and many serious injuries leave no visible marks. Together, we explore how this narrow focus combined with time pressure, fear of court involvement, and lack of behavioral training creates gaps that allows for harm to go unseen by professionals. The conversation moves beyond bruise and bone based injuries to patterns which may help uncover silent injuries and invisible abuse. We unpack how domestic abuse and coercive control interfere with children's health in ways pediatric care often misses, including limbic harm, developmental delays, failure to thrive. We discuss perpetrator patterns like,  disrupting therapy and medication adherence, restricting access to food, heat, or transportation, and undermining a protective parent's ability to follow medical guidance or maintain safe housing. We ask the critical question rarely built into clinical practice: Is anyone interfering with this child's care or this parent's ability to parent safely?Dr. Rosado speaks candidly about mandated reporting, reasonable suspicion, and the anxieties clinicians face, especially when they have long-standing relationships with families. He also highlights the role of bias and why simple, consistent protocols can help clinicians ask better questions, reduce inequities, and document patterns rather than isolated incidents.We dig into the science behind what clinicians are seeing but often cannot name. From traumatic brain injuries without bruising to emerging research on epigenetics, the episode makes clear that exposure to violence can alter gene expression, increasing lifelong risk for chronic disease, disability, and early death. Child maltreatment, we argue, is not just a clinical concern. It is a multigenerational public health emergency.Throughout the conversation, we empSend a text Now available!

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're talking about the deeply disturbing reality revealed by the Epstein files. I'm glad they were finally released, but what's come out only confirms what many of us have long suspected: evil pedophilicmen are ruling our world, operating openly and without any accountability. This is not just corruption. It's spiritual rot at the highest levels, and it cannot stand. Silence is no longer an option. Speak up.--https://www.bible.com/

Mark Goldberg, founder of Alternative Investments Market Intelligence, says a prediction market is nothing more or less than a wager on Monday Night Football. Whether the subject is an election, an economic report or a celebrity outcome, the structure is identical: two parties take opposite sides of a binary event. One wins. One loses. Nothing is created in the process. Yet these products are now being integrated into the same interfaces where Americans hold their retirement savings. (02/2026)

Boiler Room: Liberty — Frozen in Plain SightLiberty hasn't vanished — it's been preserved, immobilized, and placed behind glass.In this episode of Boiler Room, the panel examines the latest Jeffrey Epstein file dumps — where they came from, why portions were quickly removed, and how selective disclosure functions as outrage management rather than justice. We break down the public reaction across X and alternative platforms, and why these cycles never seem to produce accountability.The conversation expands into the normalization of federal power, ICE enforcement tactics, real-world protest escalation, and firsthand reports from Portland. From there, the discussion turns toward artificial intelligence — including viral claims about AI agents forming autonomous networks — and what these stories reveal about hype, control systems, and technocratic governance.This isn't about collapse.It's about containment.Liberty is still visible — but increasingly unreachable.Featuring:HesherMystical PharaohRuckusBazed Lit AnalyzerWandering WolfReference Links:TBDSupport:Support BOILER ROOM & ACRPatreon (Join and become a member)Shop BOILER ROOM Merch Store

Ben Higgins—best known from The Bachelor—joins Ginny Yurich for a rare, honest conversation about what it's like to be visible to millions and still feel deeply alone. Ben shares how a painful childhood marked by his father's illness, a career-ending injury, and addiction shaped his hunger to be seen, and why fame never healed the ache he hoped it would. This episode traces the turning points that changed his life: choosing connection over numbing, faith over performance, and purpose over applause. From carrying heartbreak in public, to building a marriage and becoming a father, to telling other people's stories through his book Alone in Plain Sight, Ben reflects on what actually makes a life meaningful. This is a conversation for anyone who's ever felt overlooked, misunderstood, or exhausted by pretending. It's a reminder to show up where your feet are.

Today on Stinchfield, we expose how the mainstream media manipulates the American people—not with outright lies, but with subtle bias triggers, selective framing, and the strategic omission of critical facts. This isn’t accidental. It’s coordinated. From loaded language to what they refuse to cover, the corporate press quietly nudges viewers left while working overtime to make President Trump and Republicans look reckless, extreme, or corrupt—no matter the truth. We break down the tactics they use, why they work, and how millions of Americans are being influenced without even realizing it. Once you see the pattern, you can’t unsee it—and you’ll never consume “news” the same way again. https://TheMaverickSystem.comhttps://GrantLovesGold.comhttps://www.EnergizedHealth.com/Granthttps://www.PatriotMobile.com/Granthttps://Twc.Health/Grant — use code Grant for 10% offhttps://VRAInsider.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Photo by Aneta Pawlik on Unsplash Published 26 January 2026 e540 with Michael, Andy and Michael – Stories and discussion on mobile controllers, AI playing Anchorhead, Zork & Roller Coaster Tycoon, an isometric NYC, human artistic creativity and a whole lot more. Michael, Andy and Michael get things clicking with some mobile controllers.  Starting with one of Andy's latest technology acquisitions, the team enjoys hearing about Andy's experience with the MCON.  And they especially like the “saucer separation” functionality.  The featured image from Unsplash was selected because there were very few TNG images – if you want to see the saucer separation that inspired this week's show title, have a look at the YouTube video below.  After discussing the Anbernic controller, which has some interesting features like a screen and heart rate monitoring, the team moves forward with AI. Claude features in a couple of the stories – first with an article from Fernando Borretti who details how he hooked Claude into the text based adventure Anchorhead.  The co-hosts have been intrigued by this kind of thing for years, and were reminded of the recent open sourcing of Zork.  Ramp Labs also used Claude with Roller Coaster Tycoon, which struck the team as a great way to run optimization routines across a multitude of data points that make us the game.  Next up was a story about using AI to create a SimCity-style rendition of New York City (New York City!) with astounding detail.  There were a couple of jumping off points of note from this story – Nvidia's Omniverse digital twin, traffic optimization routines and another being the language in SimCity called Simlish – and a translator is included below for the listeners to enjoy. After all the news on AI – it is refreshing though unsurprising that Hermès selected human creativity, complete with the imperfections that make the artwork more real.  Wrapping up the episode, the team closes with Netflix's foray into social engagement.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we sail with the Category Pirates to unpack why career success in the coming years hinges on moving beyond using AI as just another productivity tool and embracing it as a co-founder and thought partner. The insights aren't just for techies or founders, they are relevant for anyone who wants to future-proof their career and unlock uncommon leverage in a world being remade by generative AI. As we find ourselves deep in the rise of artificial intelligence, the ways people define their careers and generate value are evolving rapidly. This episode dives into two key research reports that uncover a powerful trend shaping the very foundation of work and entrepreneurship. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   LinkedIn and Lenny: Two Data Sets Signal a Seismic Shift Very recently, two independent research efforts converged on a striking insight. LinkedIn, with its enormous database tracking millions of real career moves, revealed the fastest-rising roles: founder, AI engineer, independent advisor, and AI strategist and consultant. The title “founder” alone is up 60 percent year-over-year and has nearly tripled since 2022. This isn’t just a startup wave; it’s a broad career escape pattern: a mass migration away from conventional jobs towards agency, creativity, and ownership. Meanwhile, the renowned Lenny Rachitsky, together with Noam Segal, surveyed 1750 tech workers who are already deep in the trenches of AI adoption. Their data not only reinforced the LinkedIn findings but made something even clearer. The workers getting the greatest value from AI weren’t simply using it to write faster emails or crank out code a bit quicker. Founders (those who saw themselves as owners) were extracting exponentially more value, driving higher ROI, more time savings, and better work quality by leveraging AI not just to improve execution, but to reimagine strategy and decision making.   Moving Beyond Tool: AI as Your Career's Co-Founder What's the real difference between the “founders” in these studies and many other professionals? It's not intelligence or technical skill. It's mindset and operational practice. Founders use AI as a co-founder rather than a generic tool. They treat their careers as if they are companies, and AI is their essential collaborator. While engineers, managers, and designers may use AI to automate tests, generate presentations, or speed up research, founders leverage AI for decision making, vision, and strategic moves. The approach goes even deeper. Top performers are building their own custom AIs, trained on their unique intellectual property: their notes, writing, frameworks, and research. This isn't about using a public ChatGPT prompt or borrowing from generic knowledge bases. The new class of “creator capitalists” construct a persistent AI thought partner that challenges their assumptions, remembers everything they’ve produced, and becomes an always-on collaborator for new ideas, product invention, and critical thinking. At Category Pirates, for example, their internal “Lucy” AI has become the sharpest mind on their team: always ready to spark new value, and even surpassing the domain expertise of its human creators in key areas.   From Execution Labor to Creator Capitalists: The New Career Divide This transformation signals a far deeper change in the job market. The traditional divide of technical versus non-technical roles, or employed versus unemployed, is becoming less relevant. Instead, the real split now is between execution labor and creator capitalists. AI is driving the cost of accessing knowledge and automating rote tasks toward zero. Execution labor (those who focus on applying known inputs to familiar problems) can use AI to go faster but are still replaceable. In contrast, creator capitalists use AI to design new futures, develop judgment, and build intellectual capital that compounds over time. The LinkedIn and Lenny data make it clear: career value is migrating from mere knowledge and execution to originating new insight and value. The people outpacing the pack aren't simply working harder or faster. They've redrawn the boundaries of their roles, shifted from employee to owner in mindset, and made AI their partner in creation, decision-making, and value extraction. The future belongs to those who build and train their own custom AIs, transforming themselves into categories of one, and compounding their expertise every single day. If you want to move from knowledge worker to creator capitalist, and from user to AI collaborator, the playbook is already available and the evidence is hiding in plain sight. The choice is yours: stick with generic tools and returns, or invent the future side by side with your own AI co-founder.

The Epstein story is being slowly smothered not because the facts disappeared, but because attention did. A fresh tragedy dominates the news cycle, soaking up oxygen the way breaking disasters always do, leaving no room for unresolved scandals that demand patience and persistence. Wall-to-wall coverage shifts emotional bandwidth away from accountability and toward shock, grief, and immediacy. The result is predictable: Epstein coverage slips from front-page urgency to background noise. Panels that once debated co-conspirators now debate optics and timing. Editors quietly decide that a dead story with no “new hook” can wait another day, then another week. Public outrage doesn't vanish, it just gets deferred. That delay is fatal to complicated accountability stories that rely on sustained pressure. The files remain sealed not because the public stopped caring, but because caring requires focus. Distraction does the work that censorship never could.That dynamic plays directly into the hands of everyone who benefits from the Epstein story staying buried. Powerful institutions don't need to argue against disclosure when the public is too exhausted to demand it. Silence becomes procedural instead of sinister, framed as backlog, process, or sensitivity. Each new tragedy gives cover to stall, redact, and delay without looking defensive. The longer the pause, the easier it is to claim the moment has passed. Survivors are told, implicitly, to wait their turn while history moves on without them. Accountability is treated as optional, something to revisit once the chaos settles, knowing full well it never really does. This is how uncomfortable truths die in modern America: not with denial, but with neglect. The Epstein files don't stay sealed because they lack importance. They stay sealed because distraction is policy, and it's working.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

An investigative journalist breaks the silence on UFOs, impossible science, & why disclosure is happening now.Podcast Highlights: • What governments admit publicly vs. what they acknowledge privately • Why UAP secrecy goes far beyond national security • The hidden architecture of global information control • What disclosure could mean for science, society, and our place in the universeToday's guest has spent decades exposing truths governments would rather keep buried. Investigative journalist Ross Coulthart joins us to reveal what he's uncovered about UAPs, classified science, and why the disclosure story unfolding right now may be the most important in human history. Ross is the senior special investigations correspondent for the NEWS NATION TV news network, where he presents the popular investigative TV show REALITY CHECK.

Fertility, chronic illness, and children's health are colliding in ways we can no longer ignore, and this conversation brings much-needed clarity to what's happening beneath the surface. In this episode, I'm joined by Ann Shippy, MD, a board-certified internal medicine physician and functional medicine practitioner whose work is reshaping how we think about preconception, detoxification, and generational health.We explore Dr. Shippy's personal healing journey, from severe gut illness and infertility to a complete career pivot into medicine, and how that experience shaped her systems-based approach to root-cause healing. From there, we dig into the modern fertility crisis, including declining sperm counts, rising miscarriage rates, and the alarming increase in childhood chronic disease, autism, and autoimmunity.This conversation centers on the preconception window, the months and years before pregnancy that determine the health of sperm, eggs, and ultimately future generations. We break down how toxins like mold, heavy metals, plastics, pesticides, and PFAS quietly damage mitochondria, hormones, and DNA, and why fertility challenges can be a powerful “check engine light” for deeper imbalances in the body.We also get practical, covering environmental testing, detox strategies, and why gentle, well-supported detoxification matters more than aggressive protocols. Dr. Shippy explains how nutrition, minerals, glutathione, methylation, and nervous system regulation work together to restore resilience, whether you're trying to conceive or simply aiming for long-term vitality.If you're thinking about having children, struggling with fertility, or concerned about the health trajectory of future generations, this episode offers both hope and a science-backed roadmap forward.Order Ann's new book, The Preconception Revolution: A Science-Backed Path to Your Fertility and Generational Health, at annshippymd.com/the-preconception-revolution.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

Paranoid behavior. Rapid weight loss. A lawyer warning Judge Mullins directly that the sheriff was "losing it." A medical diagnosis the day before the shooting. None of it stopped what happened.Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins True Crime Today to break down why warning signs get missed — especially when the person showing them has a badge, a title, and years of trust behind them. What did the people around Stines see? What did they miss?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Media fixation on Washington often ignores growing abuses at the state level. From social media warnings in New York to DMV failures in California, voter roll issues across multiple states, and troubling actions by officials and journalists, state and local governments increasingly mirror the same overreach Americans expect from federal power...

This week, we welcome Ben Higgins back to the show—entrepreneur, author, and former star of The Bachelor who has turned public fame into a platform for authentic connection. Ben shares why true connection can’t be found through screens or status, but through honest conversation and shared life with others. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Nashville singer-songwriter Jamie MacDonald. From growing up in a home where singing wasn’t allowed to standing on stages sharing songs of hope, Jamie’s story is a powerful reminder that some voices are too full of light to stay silent.

Smith Stephen Curtis Chapman www.jamiemacdonaldmusic.com Interview Quotes: “There’s still this piece of our heart that screams out to sit beside somebody else, to look somebody else in the eye, to ask them the questions that actually matter. I think we’re seeing that even when everything’s handed to us, there’s still something missing, which is the connection to humans face-to-face.” - Ben Higgins “I think if you want to really get to know somebody, if you really want for somebody to get to know you, you have to let them see the stop moments of your life. You have to be able to sit with them in their roughest seasons and their most joyous seasons and celebrate when joy is at the table and also mourn with them when maybe mourning is necessary.” - Ben Higgins “Life doesn’t give us the gift of hiding out when pain is at the forefront of our experience. I think we’ve all learned that when pain is a part of our life, sitting alone in that is not the most healing. It is getting with people who can relate. It is speaking to professionals who can process. It is getting around friendships who can love on you and getting around family who can give you a hug.” - Ben Higgins “When divisiveness is no longer the common thread amongst us as humans, I think we’re going to really look back on a time where we maybe burnt too many bridges and be embarrassed by that. I want to hopefully give people the warning to not jump too quickly into cutting everybody out that they don’t agree with.” - Ben Higgins “Being in the public eye has taught me that the more vulnerable I become and the more outspoken I become on the things that are tough in my life, the more connected I feel to others because there’s other people dealing with it also.” - Ben Higgins “I knew I felt good singing. It’s the one thing that brought me the most joy throughout some of my lonely, hardest times when I was young. It brought me happiness and peace. And it was also a way to encounter God’s presence.” - Jamie MacDonald “There were just a lot of miracles that [God] did in my life to get me out of that place, and it’s been a slow, steady climb—a lot of behind the scenes work that He’s done in my heart to heal me and all the identity issues that come with letting your life hit the bottom.” - Jamie MacDonald “Singing in the prison really gave me courage again and hope to sing, and it really gave me my why. When they sing in there, there’s no cameras, there’s nobody putting them on YouTube. It’s all for the Lord, and it’s an encounter with God’s presence and a ministry to each other.” - Jamie MacDonald “I think where all of the best songs come from is when you can be yourself and you’re not trying to reach a certain audience necessarily or trying to be commercial.” - Jamie MacDonald “God is really good at picking up the broken pieces and making it into something beautiful. I want people to know that it’s never too late, and no matter what you’ve done in your life, when you give it to Jesus and you turn to Him and you confess and you give Him those things, He chooses to forget them.” - Jamie MacDonald ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
