Podcasts about Power

We dive even deeper in Part two with Ellen Huet to unpack what drove OneTaste's inner circle, its culty sales playbook, and the strange tangle of power, personal growth, and manipulation. Ellen reveals the hidden pressures—financial, sexual, emotional—that kept members tied to the group (and often hemorrhaging money), and explains how buzzwords like “aversion practice,” “getting off on any stroke,” and “rapidly changing reality” were really tools for bulldozing boundaries and controlling thought. Our conversation traces OneTaste's journey from wellness trend to federal courtroom, busts modern myths about female-led groups, and highlights why charismatic leadership is always more about the follower than the figurehead. Plus: surprising cult parallels with AI, why new spiritual movements are getting more digital (and more female-fronted), and how lessons from OneTaste can help us spot red flags in even the most unexpected places. If you care about consent, community, or why smart people fall for shiny promises, this is essential listening.For more on Ellen's exploration of OneTaste, read her book, Empire of Orgasm: Sex, Power, and the Downfall of a Wellness Cult.

Worksheet: Hope Building BlueprintWhat do you do when your hope tank is completely empty? When you're going through the motions of recovery but deep down don't believe things will ever really get better?In this powerful episode of The Addicted Mind Plus, hosts Duane Osterlind and Eric Osterlind tackle one of the most critical—and often overlooked—elements of lasting recovery: hope. But this isn't a conversation about wishful thinking or waiting for motivation to magically strike. Instead, they dive into the practical science of hope and show you exactly how to cultivate it, even when you're starting from bare ground.Many people in recovery struggle with a toxic sense of hopelessness—that gray, heavy belief that the future will just repeat the past. It's the voice that whispers, "Lasting recovery is for other people, not me. I'm too broken. I've failed too many times." This feeling drains motivation and makes recovery feel like an exhausting chore rather than an opportunity for a better life.Here's the good news: positive psychology research shows that hope isn't just a feeling you have to wait for. It's actually a trainable cognitive skill you can build, just like going to the gym and strengthening a muscle.Duane and Eric break down Dr. C.R. Snyder's groundbreaking Hope Theory, which identifies two essential components of hope: pathway thinking (the belief that you can find routes to your goals—the "how to" part) and agency thinking (the belief in your own ability to use those paths—the "I can do this" part). When you feel hopeless, it's usually because you've lost one or both of these elements.The episode gets wonderfully practical with two concrete action steps you can start using today:Action Step #1: Set One Hopeful, Achievable Goal - Choose one small, realistic, and measurable goal you can work on this month (or even just today). Not something vague like "be happier" or "fix my life," but something specific like "spend 10 minutes outside three times this week" or "make one phone call to a supportive friend." Writing it down literally creates a pathway forward in your brain.Action Step #2: Visualize Your Success - Take 2-3 minutes to close your eyes and vividly imagine yourself achieving that goal. Don't just see it—feel it. Imagine the pride, relief, and satisfaction of crossing it off your list. This isn't just positive thinking fluff—it's neuroscience. Elite Olympic athletes use this exact technique to improve their performance, and research shows visualization can be as beneficial as additional physical training.The hosts explain that this process directly builds self-efficacy—your belief in your ability to succeed. Hope isn't just believing things can get better; it's taking small steps that create evidence they ARE getting better.Throughout the episode, Duane and Eric's compassionate approach shines through. They acknowledge that both pathway thinking and agency thinking can be incredibly difficult to access in recovery, but they offer genuine encouragement that these skills can be developed over time.To support your journey, they've created a free Hope Building Blueprint worksheet—a simple one-page guide to help you define your hopeful goal, brainstorm the pathway to get there, and list your motivation and visualization strategies.If you're struggling with hopelessness in recovery, this episode offers both the science and the practical tools to start building hope today. You deserve to believe in a better future—and now you have a roadmap to get there.Key Topics• The Neuroscience of Negativity - Why our brains are wired to focus on negative emotions and predictions first• Dr. C.R.

In this episode, we discuss the rising backlash to last week's comments about Nick Fuentes, the distinction between personal judgment and deplatforming, and the broader question of what ideas belong in public discourse. We explore the failures of remedial education across major universities, the collapsing academic standards that allow students to advance without basic literacy and numeracy, and the systemic incentives that push institutions to “get students through” rather than educate them. We examine the roots of the public-school crisis, the role of property-tax funding, the constraints of unionized pay structures, and why market incentives and genuine school choice may be the only workable path forward. We also revisit lessons from the Soviet Union, grocery-store abundance, and what markets reveal about human flourishing in ways central planning never can. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 01:19 The Camino Story and Unexpected Love of Hiking 05:03 Walking Ancient Roman Roads with Modern Tech 07:50 Criticism, Free Speech, and the Nick Fuentes Debate 13:24 Where to Draw the Line on Platforming Extremists 14:49 The Difference Between Preference and Censorship 18:43 Foolishness of the Week: University of Arizona AI Prompting Class 20:13 College Remediation and the Math Skills Crisis 23:08 The Collapse of Writing Standards in Higher Education 24:31 Why Students Aren't Being Educated Before College 29:08 Public Schools, Property Taxes, and Unequal Outcomes 33:53 Why Money and Teacher Quality Don't Correlate 35:34 School Choice, Competition, and Market Incentives 37:02 Why Centralized Solutions Don't Work in Education 39:50 Markets, Feedback Loops, and Real Accountability 46:11 Closing Thoughts and Listener Send-Off 47:33 Aftershow: Khrushchev, Yeltsin, and the Grocery Store Lesson 53:51 The Power of Markets: Food, Abundance, and Freedom Learn more about your ad choices.

What happens when you drop a senior project manager into a room full of attorneys, tribal leaders, political operators, and massive personalities? In this Top Shelf Replay, Kate & Kim revisit one of the most beloved—and re-listened—episodes in PM Happy Hour history: "Stage Direction in the Boardroom" featuring master facilitator Sheila Morago. If you've ever wondered how elite leaders steer complicated, high-stakes conversations without losing their cool (or losing six months of work with one careless comment), this episode is your new playbook. Sheila shares the tools, tactics, and emotional intelligence behind managing senior stakeholders, building trust, engineering alignment, and yes…occasionally staging a fight to get everyone to "yes." Get ready—this episode is full of real-world policy drama, tribal gaming insight, negotiation theater, and powerful lessons for any PM trying to move from "task master" to strategic leader. Great Quotes From the Episode "Never ask a question you don't already know the answer to." "These aren't meetings—they're Kabuki theater." "Nothing brings people together like a common enemy." "If you don't let them vent early, they will vent later—and at the worst possible moment." "Policy takes years. Tech takes a week." What You'll Learn (Key Outcomes) 1. How Senior Leaders Actually Negotiate Sheila breaks down what it takes to orchestrate alignment among executives, attorneys, policymakers, and stakeholders—none of whom work for you, all of whom report to someone powerful. 2. The Secret Skill That Makes PMs Into Leaders How listening (really listening) becomes your most strategic tool at the senior level. 3. Managing High-Stakes Meetings Without Losing Control Why should one person guide the conversation? How to posit their positions to draw out quiet or hesitant stakeholders. How to keep the emotional temperature safe but not silent. 4. The Power of the 'Safe Zone' Why must you create a space where stakeholders can speak unfiltered, off-record, and without fear of political consequences. 5. Relationship-Building: The Long Game Happy hours, lunches, hallway conversations—how the "work between the work" makes the boardroom possible. 6. The Art of the Staged Fight Why conflict must be visible. Why letting people "win" (feel like they won) is essential. Why is the real battle scripted before the meeting starts? 7. Using Common Ground—and Common Foes When "we all want the same thing" works. When "the real enemy is over there" works even better. 8. How to Lock Down Decisions So They Don't Backslide Why immediate execution is key. How implementation momentum prevents second-guessing. 9. Lessons Kate & Kim Learned 8 Years Later Why parts of this episode hit harder after a decade of PM leadership. How letting emotions into the meeting leads to better outcomes. What PMs often overlook when they're new to senior-level facilitation. If you want to level up from "planner of tasks" to leader of leaders, this replay is essential listening. Whether you're negotiating policy, driving enterprise transformation, or just trying to get two teams to agree on anything—Sheila's battle-tested tools will help you steer the room, keep your cool, and bring people with you.

If you miss the lighter, sillier version of yourself you used to be, this episode will help you find her again — even in the chaos of family life. Across thousands of conversations in the Motherkind community, one theme comes up again and again: fun quietly disappears for so many of us. Playfulness slips away. And most mothers aren't even sure how to begin getting it back. In this uplifting and deeply reassuring episode, I sit down with play researcher and writer Emma Worrollo to explore why fun matters far more than we realise, not as something extra on the to-do list, but as a powerful support for resilience, regulation and connection. Emma explains how we slowly train playfulness out of ourselves as adults, why that leaves us feeling flat or overwhelmed, and what happens when we start to bring back even the tiniest moments of joy. Her “1% rule” is one of my favourite tools, a gentle, doable way to shift your mood without needing more time, childcare or energy. This conversation is your reminder that joy isn't frivolous. It's essential. And you absolutely deserve moments of lightness, even in the seasons that feel heavy. In this conversation, you'll learn: Why fun disappears in motherhood — and how to bring it back The simple shift from play to playfulness that changes everything How playfulness strengthens resilience, regulation and connection Small 1% tweaks that make everyday life feel lighter Remember to subscribe to Motherkind — it helps more mothers find the show and keeps our community growing.

Do you ever feel like your perfectionism is something you need to fix? What if the truth is the opposite—that your perfectionism holds real power?   In this episode, Whitney talks with Katherine Morgan Schafler, psychotherapist and author of The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control: A Path to Peace and Power. Katherine challenges the cultural narrative that perfectionism is a flaw and instead shows how, when understood and channeled well, it can be a meaningful strength.   Katherine explains the difference between adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism, how perfectionism shows up differently for women, and why many of us feel caught between our ambition and the pressure to soften it. She also outlines the five types of perfectionists so listeners can recognize their own patterns, strengths and red flags.   Listen in to rethink what perfectionism really is—and learn how to work with your drive instead of against it.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: Redefining perfectionism in modern discourse Why women are watering down their perfectionist tendencies when men are unconcerned The 5 different types of perfectionists Aligning your actions to your core values Reflection questions to ponder: What do I want for you?   Join Back to Bright, a 1:1 personalized, four-week coaching experience where I'll guide you in creating sustainable rhythms of rest, joy, and self-connection.   Learn more about 1:1 coaching with Whitney - book a 15-minute Spark Session   Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l 10 Soulful Journaling Prompts | Electric Ideas Podcast   Connect with Katherine: Instagram | Website | Book: The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control | Quiz: Get Your Perfectionist Profile

You've almost certainly heard Peter Thiel's name. You very likely even have an opinion about him. But how much do you actually know about him? One of the most powerful people in America is also one of the most secretive, because that lack of public visibility gives him much more room to exercise a scary amount of control over our country. This week, Adam gets the in-depth scoop on Peter Thiel with Bloomberg Business Week reporter Max Chafkin, who recently authored the book The Contrarian: Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley's Pursuit of Power.Find Max's book at factuallypod.com/books--SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconoverSEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on:» Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577» Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJAbout Headgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creating premium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy to achieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.

Through my personal connection with these magnificent beings, especially the giant sea turtles I encountered in Maui, I reflect on their embodiment of a slow and steady approach to life. I draw inspiration from their ability to navigate both water and land with grace, emphasizing how their presence can teach us to embrace calmness amidst the chaos of everyday life.The turtle serves as a reminder that patience, groundedness, and resilience are essential components of our healing journeys. As I explore the turtle's way of life, I share insightful quotes and wisdom from respected figures like Thich Nhat Hanh and Hermann Hesse, highlighting the importance of rest and the inner sanctuary we can access within ourselves. I emphasize the turtle's slow and deliberate pace as a means to foster healing, reminding listeners that rest is medicinal, and a gentle approach is both safe and sustainable.Throughout the episode, I outline several key turtle teachings that are integral to healing anxiety. Firstly, I discuss the concept that "slow is sustainable" and how the energy expended in rushing can hinder our progress. I encourage listeners to adopt a more compassionate self-view, understanding that their journey is unique and shouldn't be compared to others. Each small, steady step is meaningful, and healing is not a race.#AnxietyRelief #MentalHealthMatters #SlowLiving #InnerPeace #SelfCare #Mindfulness #TurtleWisdom #SlowIsSustainable #NervousSystemRegulation #TrustYourPace #JOMO #JoyOfMissingOut #RetreatToRestore #GentleResilience #SlowIsSacred #CarryCalmWithYou #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #GroundedPresence #RestRestoresMe #SmallStepsTransformMe #IAmSafeToSlowDown #PatienceAndLongevity #InnerSafety #HermannHesse #ThichNhatHanh #HealingIsRhythmic #UnHurry #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Influence Factor, host Alessandro Bogliari sits down with Will Carafello from the NY Mets to explore the transformative impact of social media on sports. They discuss how platforms are closing the gap between fans and athletes, making it easier for athletes to create and share content while giving fans a more personal look into their lives.

Scott and Bruce were the hottest couple in church. Scott, a hula dancer, seemed destined for Bruce, the hunky “lumbersexual,” and the church delighted when they got together. Their brief love affair sparkled before Bruce got sick and died. Their story is one of multiple “dress rehearsals”– when friends, family and lovers went through AIDS with their loved ones wondering who would be next and sometimes knowing it might be you.  You can see Scott perform in a 1992 InterPlay piece called “God, Sex and Power” here. He's the one with the bandaids on his knees.  Singing Positive is a two-part documentary film about the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus (SFGMC) and its experience with AIDS that spans 15 years. The first film, which featured Scott, was produced in 1992 and is hard to find online. The second film, produced in 2009, saw the filmmakers return to SFGMC to explore the impact of AIDS on the chorus over time. The 2009 film, with clips of Scott from the first film, is here. And you can watch some amazing SFGMC performances on their YouTube channel here.  Scott's San Francisco hula school was Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu. They celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2025. Scott's teacher and friend, Kumu Patrick Makuakāne is in the 2023 cohort of MacArthur Fellows. His recent work includes Māhū, a work by and with trans hula performers.   On the MCC in Hawai'i, see the Queer Histories of Hawai'i's story here.  For images and links about this episode visit https://www.heavenpodcast.org/episode-7 .  When We All Get to Heaven is produced by Eureka Street Productions.

In this conversation, Blake and Jon explore how one letter can outlive you, shape your children's character, and give them strength long after you're gone. You'll learn: • The story behind Blake's father's final letter — and how it shaped his purpose • What makes a legacy letter different from any other message to your kids • Why a father's written words carry power that lasts generations • The core phrases every child needs to hear from their dad • What stops most men from writing their letter — and how to overcome it • Simple steps to start writing your own legacy letter today If you've ever wondered how to create something that truly lasts — something your kids will treasure forever — this episode will show you the way. _____

Bryan Kohberger has just been ordered to pay for another part of the aftermath he created — this time, roughly $3,000 for two victims' urns, on top of the more than $30,000 restitution outlined in his agreement. On the surface, it feels like a moment of overdue accountability in a case where nothing has moved fast enough, clean enough, or confidently enough. But as always in the Kohberger saga… the fine print tells a very different story. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski dives into the judge's ruling — not just what it means for restitution, but what it quietly unlocks. Because the judge didn't just say “pay up.” He said Kohberger can get a job in prison or ask for donations to raise the money. Let that sink in. When the court says “donations,” that opens the door to an entire ecosystem of online supporters, fringe communities, contrarians, and high-profile-case obsessives who will absolutely try to send him money. And legally? They can. As long as it goes toward restitution. But here's the real problem: What happens once the restitution is paid off? That's where things get uncomfortable. Because any money that comes in after his debt is satisfied becomes fair game under prison regulations. Commissary. Comfort. Influence. Power. Even long-term financial positioning. And then there's the big, ugly question most people don't want to touch: Can he someday legally profit from his story? “Son of Sam” laws were gutted years ago. The restrictions people assume exist… often don't. Third-party deals, “creative packaging,” and legally gray revenue channels have helped other high-profile offenders monetize their notoriety. And with this ruling, Kohberger now has the first ingredient he needs — a pathway for money to flow toward him legally. Tony breaks down what's fair, what's dangerous, and what the system just opened the door to. Accountability is one thing. What comes after it? That's the part nobody's ready for. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #IdahoCase #TrueCrimeNews #JusticeSystem #CrimeAnalysis #LegalBreakdown #TonyBrueski #CrimeUpdates #CourtRulings Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How did a fringe rightwing movement calling for lower taxes become one of the most successful efforts in U.S politics, leading to a chronically underfunded government? The answer has more than a little to do with racism. Michael Graetz traces the rise and triumph of the anti-tax movement and the ways that politicians and think-tanks harnessed racial resentments for the benefit of the wealthy. Michael J.

In this episode, Thais Gibson and Mike de Zio dive deep into what's really happening when a dismissive avoidant (DA) or fearful avoidant (FA) pulls away.

Through personal stories and actionable steps, Thais and Mike explain how to understand these patterns, respond without pushing your partner away, and create safety for honest reconnection.

Reclaiming Men's Health: Proactive Wellness, Vulnerability, and the Power of Service — Lessons from Christopher ZainoIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Christopher Zaino, former Mister America and Mister Universe, and Founder of The Stallion Project. Christopher shares his inspiring journey of overcoming ulcerative colitis and embracing a mission to help men reclaim their health, vitality, and purpose. This episode is a powerful call to action for men ready to live intentionally, with honesty, strength, and holistic wellness at the forefront.The Stallion Protocol: Realigning Men with Health and PurposeChristopher Zaino believes the root of many health struggles for men is denial. From ignoring symptoms to suppressing emotions, men are often conditioned to be self-reliant to a fault. Zaino advocates for radical honesty as the first step to reclaiming physical and emotional well-being. He urges men to stop brushing off fatigue, digestive issues, or burnout—and to schedule regular checkups and address both physical and emotional health head-on.Beyond honesty, Zaino emphasizes understanding one's biochemistry. Imbalances in testosterone, dopamine, and cortisol often explain symptoms like low energy, mood swings, and lack of drive. Through comprehensive blood work, lifestyle adjustments, and expert guidance, men can restore balance and reignite their performance and purpose. His protocol also prioritizes movement and mindset—integrating daily cardio and uplifting inputs like podcasts to elevate both body and mind.Another powerful pillar of Zaino's philosophy is vulnerability. By sharing his story, he discovered deep healing—and encourages men to do the same. He believes community, connection, and service are vital parts of wellness.

Episode Overview In this episode, Michael D. Levitt sits down with Erik Braund, CEO of Katmai Tech, to explore how immersive 3D virtual collaboration is transforming the future of work. Katmai's groundbreaking platform redefines remote interaction by combining video presence with spatial freedom—creating an environment that mirrors the energy and spontaneity of a physical office. Inside Katmai's Virtual Collaboration Platform Erik explains how Katmai bridges the gap between traditional video conferencing and in-person work. Unlike static grid calls, Katmai enables users to move freely in a 3D virtual space, sparking natural, spontaneous conversations. The result? A 70% reduction in standing meetings for users Average engagement of 23 hours per week—nearly double the time people typically spend on Zoom or Teams Shorter, more meaningful interactions, averaging 15 minutes among small groups Erik shares how these immersive environments foster authentic collaboration, serendipitous moments, and stronger team culture—elements often lost in remote work setups. The Power of Remote Work Flexibility Michael builds on the conversation by highlighting the evolving nature of work. He references insights from leaders like Jamie Dimon, exploring how workplace flexibility enhances autonomy, engagement, and performance. Michael notes that trust and choice are central to preventing burnout and driving productivity. He humorously recalls a company that had to schedule a meeting—ironically—to discuss having too many meetings, reinforcing the idea that tools like Katmai can make communication more efficient and human-centered. Balancing Efficiency and Well-Being Erik and Michael dive into the psychology of remote work, discussing the pitfalls of multitasking and blurred boundaries. Both stress the need for intentional systems that support focus and well-being. Erik explains how Katmai's user-friendly interface helps teams stay connected without overwhelming them with constant pings or apps. The platform promotes mindful communication, encouraging quick, productive exchanges rather than endless calls. Michael connects this to his Breakfast Leadership Network philosophy, emphasizing that burnout prevention begins with designing work environments—virtual or physical—that support energy, creativity, and balance. Key Takeaways Immersive collaboration is redefining remote culture by bringing “office energy” online. Flexibility and autonomy are critical to engagement and performance. Meeting reduction and better-designed communication tools lead to happier, more focused teams. Technology should enhance human connection, not replace it.

It's one of the largest transfers of wealth in human history—trillions of dollars moving from one generation to the next. But this moment isn't just about inheritance. It's about passing on faith, values, and a vision for generosity.To explore how younger Christians are reimagining stewardship, we spoke with Christin Fejervary, Vice President for Brand and Experience at the National Christian Foundation (NCF)—a trusted partner helping believers give wisely and joyfully.From Obligation to Joyful GenerosityChristin's passion for generosity began early, though not in the way it's shaped her life today.“As a kid,” she shared, “giving was more of an obligation. I watched my parents tithe every week, and I learned discipline from that—but it wasn't until my 20s and 30s, and especially through working at NCF, that I saw how generosity changes us. It frees us from being tied to the things of this world.”That personal transformation has guided her work—helping others experience the joy that comes when giving is no longer a rule to follow but a relationship with God to live out.What's Driving the Next Generation to GiveWhen it comes to generosity, Millennials and Gen Z are rewriting the playbook.According to NCF's research, millennials—now roughly ages 29 to 44—view philanthropy as part of their identity. For Christian millennials, that identity is deeply spiritual: “My life is a way to give away.”Christin explains:“They believe all resources have equal value—not just money, but time, influence, and relationships. They don't just want to write a check. They want to be part of the change.”This shift from transactional to relational giving marks a profound change from previous generations.Reimagining Traditional ToolsYounger Christians aren't abandoning tools like donor-advised funds, estate plans, or investment portfolios—they're personalizing them.“They want to see impact,” Christin said. “They're asking, ‘How is my giving being used?' and ‘What difference is it making?'”They're also expanding how they define stewardship—using investment portfolios for charitable investing and seeking spiritual returns as much as financial ones.At NCF, this has led to growing interest in community-based giving. Across the country, younger givers are joining together to give collectively, blending faith, friendship, and impact.What Advisors Need to KnowFinancial advisors also play a key role in this transition. But Christin says serving the next generation requires a shift in mindset.“Younger Christians want to co-create their giving plans. They want a seat at the table and a voice in the process. It's not just about managing money—it's about helping them uncover all the ways God's entrusted them to give.”For advisors, that means focusing less on control and more on collaboration, connection, and calling.How Families Can Have Faith-Filled ConversationsGenerosity isn't just a financial transaction—it's a family story. Cristin encourages families to start there.“The data shows that both generations—young and old—see faith as a guiding principle,” she said. “The key is to unpack what faithfulness looks like for each generation. When families share stories of how God has provided and guided them, something powerful happens.”Listening to one another's experiences helps bridge differences and creates a shared vision for stewardship across generations.How NCF Is Helping the Next Generation Live GenerouslyAt the National Christian Foundation (NCF), this generational shift is sparking new ideas and tools for families and advisors alike.New Research & Resources: NCF has published a comprehensive Next Gen Generosity Report—designed to help both older and younger generations navigate these conversations.Experiences & Events: Through community gatherings and local partnerships, NCF helps families explore generosity together—often in creative, organic ways led by next-gen participants.Collaboration with Advisors and Churches: NCF connects givers to trusted partners who can guide them through every stage of stewardship—from first-time donors to business owners planning legacy gifts.You can explore these resources at FaithFi.com/NCF or NCFgiving.com/nextgenresearch.The Power of AgencyOne key insight from NCF's research is the role of agency in healthy stewardship.“We define agency as the ability to act on the free will God gives us,” Cristin explained. “The more we step into that responsibility—making decisions, taking ownership—the more confident and joyful we become.”That means even those who inherit wealth should be encouraged to find their “Gen 1” opportunities—ways to take initiative, make decisions, and live out their calling to give.The Influence of Women in GenerosityAnother striking finding: women—especially mothers—play a major role in shaping generosity.“Seventy-two percent of millennials we surveyed said their mothers were the biggest influence on their giving,” Cristin shared.Yet, the research also revealed that many women feel unheard in family wealth decisions. The next step, Cristin says, is ensuring their voices are part of the conversation.“This is the time to incorporate women's perspectives in giving and wealth transfer. Their influence is profound—and essential.”Passing Faith Along With FinancesAs this great wealth transfer unfolds, Cristin reminds us that what we pass on matters more than what we possess.“It's not just about money moving between generations,” she said. “It's about passing along faith, values, and purpose.”And that's a legacy that truly lasts.

"I wish they would be less afraid... Instead of having health care, we have health scare. The things that make the baby usually help the baby come out. And if you didn't make the baby that way, the things with someone you love during the process of having the baby can really bring you from a place of fright to a place of delight.." —Theresa Lasbrey Peters "Pleasurable birth is when we accept the pain, accept the hardship of birth, but we shift our focus to pleasure and joy and to the sacredness that we can experience." —Bettina Zagoni "These need to become like natural language— orgasmic birth and sexuality and stuff like that— starting with us as healthcare providers, and then to the mothers and to the grandmothers and to all the people around.

Send us a text by clicking this link!Power rarely moves quietly, and our tour through the English Reformation proves it. We start with a young, athletic Henry VIII whose dynastic panic collided with fragile Tudor legitimacy and recent civil war. From Wolsey's velvet control to Cromwell's hard-edged dissolution of the monasteries, the story isn't a popular uprising against Rome—it's a top-down refit of a living church under the pressure of succession, money, and law.Zooming out, Europe hums with end-times energy: printing stokes polemics, the sack of Rome shatters illusions, and theological debates double as statecraft. We revisit Mary I without the propaganda haze—her measured governance, her duty to crush rebellion, and the way her reign got rewritten by enemies. Then Elizabeth I tightens the bolts: supremacy oaths, recusancy fines, and an intelligence apparatus that turns conscience into evidence. The result is a church that keeps the silhouette of altars while changing the crown above them.Underground Catholicism adapts with nerve and nuance. Jesuit missions like Edmund Campion's draw hard lines, house chapels encode the Mass into Byrd's music, and priest holes become the country's hidden cathedrals. We unpack the Gunpowder Plot as either interception or invention and track how it cements “Catholic equals treason” in the English mind. From Laudian “beauty of holiness” to the civil war backlash, from Jacobite hopes to the Quebec Act and Wellington's push for emancipation, we follow the long arc that shaped modern Britain—and its American echo in how nations sacralize power.

“Oral history is a field of study and a method of gathering, preserving, and interpreting the voices and memories of people, communities, and participants in past events.” That is the definition provided by no less an authority than the Oral History Association. And yet this brief, simple, and seemingly authoritative definition is accompanied by some ambiguity. On the one hand the Oral History Association proclaims that oral history is the oldest type of historical inquiry, stemming back to the origins of humanity itself. But on the other hand, oral history is one of the newest types of historical discipline, owing its birth to the invention of recording technology, and its rapid technological , from the introduction of magnetic tape recorders as consumer devices in 1947, to in 2025 the widespread field use of the superb digital recording studio and processor you typically refer to as your “phone”.With us to explain the basics of the discipline of Oral History is Douglas A. Boyd. He is an oral historian, archivist, folklorist, musician, author and currently Director of the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History at the University of Kentucky. He is co-editor of Oral History and Digital Humanities: Voice, Access, Engagement (2014), producer of the documentary Kentucky Bourbon Tales: Distilling the Family Spirit, and author of Crawfish Bottom: Recovering a Lost Kentucky Community. But most recently he is the author of Oral History: A Very Short Introduction, which is the subject of our conversation today.For more show notes, and our full archive, go to the Historically Thinking SubstackChapters00:00:00 Introduction: Defining Oral History00:01:53 The Ambiguity and Multidisciplinary Nature of Oral History00:07:34 The Modern History of Oral History and Recording Technology00:21:07 Early Recording Technology and the Evolution of Interviews00:34:27 Oral History vs. Oral Tradition00:36:51 What Makes an Oral History Interview Different00:41:17 The First Question: Tell Me About Yourself00:47:19 Avoiding Leading Questions00:50:37 The Power of Silence and Active Listening00:54:07 The Art of Being Prepared Without Being a Know-It-All01:03:26 The Digital Archive and Preservation Challenges01:07:47 Enhancing Access and Discovery in the Digital Age01:14:16 Ethical Access and Privacy Concerns01:15:33 Practical Advice for Thanksgiving Interviews01:19:49 Getting Started: Simple Questions and Curiosity01:23:09 The Value of Multiple Sessions and Follow-Up Interviews01:25:56 Closing Remarks

Jacob Vidrine discusses LeBaron succession! You may have heard of Ervil, Joel, and Ross LeBaron. Who took charge after Alma Dayer LeBaron died? Check out our conversation.... https://youtu.be/6NckTz7ateA Don't miss our other conversations with Jacob: https://gospeltangents.com/people/jacob-vidrine Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Except for book reviews, no content may be reproduced without written permission LeBaron Divide: Priesthood, Power, & Struggle for the Birthright When the name LeBaron is mentioned in discussions of Mormon fundamentalism, often the first person who comes to mind is the notorious Ervil LeBaron, a murderer who had a hit list and was a murderer and died in jail. However, the complex history of the LeBaron family and their unique claims to priesthood authority—separate from most other fundamentalist groups like the FLDS, AUB, and Woolley-ites—reveals a fascinating succession crisis rooted deep in Nauvoo-era doctrine. We will discuss how the LeBarons obtained their distinct authority and how their patriarch's death fractured the family into multiple competing groups across Utah and Mexico. Peculiar Lineage: Tracing Authority to Benjamin F. Johnson Unlike the majority of fundamentalists who trace their authority back to the 1886 revelation received by John Taylor (the Woolley line), the LeBaron authority stems from a different source. This lineage is traced to Benjamin F. Johnson, a close friend of Joseph Smith and a member of the secretive Council of 50. The LeBaron authority claim relies on the concept of the “fullness of the priesthood” or the "highest order of the priesthood," authority that Joseph Smith introduced in Nauvoo. This highest order involved making men "kings and priests" and conferring the sealing power. Johnson, who emphasized his role as the "last living original member of the Council of 50," taught that Joseph Smith authorized him to teach these keys—plural marriage, endowments, garments, and the second anointing—to others when led by the Holy Spirit. This unique priesthood was considered "above the church," creating an authority that "no tribunal in the church could control.” Johnson, near his death (circa 1903-1905), charged his grandson, Alma Dayer "Dayer" LeBaron Sr., to carry on this special family birthright and the work of the kingdom.Hesitant Patriarch and the Failed Succession Dayer LeBaron Sr., born in 1886, entered into plural marriage in the 1920s and moved his family to Mexico to escape prosecution, spending the rest of his life carving out a homestead there. Due to his secretive nature (leading to the nickname "The Silent Prophet") and the mental decline of his intended firstborn successor, Benjamin. Dayer was hesitant to teach his younger children about his specific authority claims. By 1950, Dayer's health was failing rapidly; he was bedridden, suffering from paralysis, and could barely communicate. This severe decline set the stage for a succession crisis, as Dayer maintained that he could not appoint a successor "until the Holy Ghost tells me who to appoint.” The resulting conflict split the family authority claims into three main groups: Benjamin (Ben): The oldest son, who had experienced mental episodes and claimed to be "the one mighty and strong," attempted to coax a blessing from his dying father, causing distress among the family. Joel LeBaron: One of the younger sons living in Mexico, Joel was told that the birthright was his "if I don't give it to one of the other boys.” This vague pronouncement was hardly a solid foundation for leadership. Ross Wesley LeBaron (Wesley): The second oldest son, who spent most of his life ministering in Utah, had already received a patriarchal blessing from his father in 1950, conferring keys of the patriarchal order of priesthood (the keys restored by Moses, Elias, and Elijah in Kirtland.) Ross was prevented from traveling to his father's deathbed in Mexico because he was under bond in Utah related to polygamy. Ross claimed he received a revelation urging him not to ask for the "birthright" title, but instead to ask for a "commission to carry on the patriarchal work.” This revelation emphasized a key tenet of his ministry: "the honor is in the work, not the title.” The Split: Utah vs. Mexico LeBaron Succession Dayer LeBaron ultimately died in 1951 without clearly naming a successor. The lack of clear leadership led to an immediate schism: Ross LeBaron in Utah: Ross stood on the independent authority he had been commissioned to carry on and began proclaiming himself as the successor, claiming he had received the voice of the spirit telling him the patriarchal work was now on his shoulders. He established his group simply as The Church of the Firstborn. The Mexico LeBarons: Joel, Ervil, and Alma Jr. (the Mexico sons) initially failed to accept their father's priesthood authority fully. They reached out to the broader fundamentalist community, inviting Margarito Bautista to come organize them. They sustained Bautista and accepted the leadership of Rulon Allred (the proto-AUB group) for several years, from 1951 up to 1955. Joel's Church: In 1955, Joel split off from the AUB/Woolley influence to found The Church of the Firstborn in the Fullness of Times in Mexico, which grew to a significant size, peaking at several thousand members. The Violent End: Joel's success was tragically cut short when Ervil LeBaron, who was Joel's second-in-command, had a schism with Joel, leading to Ervil being excommunicated. Ervil went on to found the Church of the Lamb of God and committed the terrible acts of violence and murder that brought the LeBaron name infamy. Ervil was responsible for not only his brother Joel's death, but Rulon Allred as well. The history of the LeBarons illustrates how complex foundational priesthood claims, combined with vague successions and sibling rivalries, led to divergent paths—one emphasizing ministry (Ross) and others ending in notoriety and violence (Ervil.)   Don't miss our other conversations with Jacob: https://gospeltangents.com/people/jacob-vidrine Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Except for book reviews, no content may be reproduced without written permission
