Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

This week Evan and Bill are joined by the folks from the Worker's Lit podcast to talk about the 2025 film "The Running Man," directed by Edgar Wright and starring Glen Powell, Colman Domingo, Emilia Jones, William H. Macy, Josh Brolin, and Michael Cera. With a special appearance by Lee Pace. This episode is part two of our collaboration with Worker's Lit covering a book and the movie based on it, in this case the Stephen King novel by the same name. During the episode we discuss how much more capably Wright and Powell portray class consciousness than King, note how the movie improved on the book, and remained loyal to it by having a less than satisfying ending.Check out the episode we did with Worker's Lit here!Guest LinksOfficial WebsiteWorker's Lit on InstagramWorker's Lit on YouTubeLeft of the Projector LinksOfficial WebsiteLeft of the Projector on InstagramLeft of the Projector on PatreonLeft of the Projector on ThreadlessHost LinksEvan's LetterboxdBill's InstagramBill's LetterboxdWard's InstagramWard's Letterboxd

If you're a Projector, this episode is your personalised 2026 forecast and part three of the 2026 "Future of Business" series. I'm taking the five business themes from Episode 2 (episode 305 of the All That Jazze Podcast) and the major astrological transits from Episode 1 (Episode 304) and translating them specifically for you as a Projector in business.What I hear from almost every Projector who comes to work with me is some version of: business feels so hard as a Projector. And I get it - when your business literally stops the moment you rest, it feels impossible not to chase and to step outside of your design. This episode is about building the structure that lets you actually be in your design - so recognition and invitations can happen organically, even when you step back.What You'll Learn:❤️‍

Public artist Michael Townsend grew up in a military family that relocated often—at least ten times during his childhood. He learned early how to explore new locales and seek out new friends before moving on to the next temporary hometown. His final relocation was to study art at RISD, when he chose Providence as home—and began quietly reshaping it. He founded the Tape Art movement in 1989 and built a thriving practice rooted in ephemeral public murals, deeply private underground installations, and highly clandestine collaborations, including the now-legendary Secret Mall Apartment.For more than 30 years, he has created hundreds of temporary murals and collaborative public works around the world, including the 9/11 Hope Project and the invention of the BOOM! Projector. Now, with the success of the Secret Mall Apartment documentary on Netflix, it's clear that he and his collaborators were deeply intentional about incubating that narrative until it was ready to be heard.Moving fluidly in and out of the shadows—showing up, making an impression, then dissolving underground only to emerge again—turns out Michael himself may be a work of ephemeral art.Images and more from Michael Townsend on our website!Special thanks to our sponsor!

In this episode, I'm sharing five raw, honest lessons the Year of the Snake carved into me; lessons about identity, energy, surrender, and what it actually takes to evolve.We talk about:Why your old life will cost you your new oneWhy sometimes people would rather be ghosted than confrontedHow your energy is currency — and where you might be spending it unconsciouslyWhy you truly can't “f*ck it up” or get it wrongGate 28 in Human Design and the existential edge of meaningI also share reflections on current affairs (trigger warning included), the strange feeling of “getting in trouble” for speaking truth, and why deeply wounded people often need love the most.We explore how two things can be true at the same time, why the body is always the key, and how Human Design is woven into everything I do, not as a system, but as a lens for living.The ultimate lesson of this year?Surrender.This episode closes with my deeper mission, the origin story behind my Human Design reports, and an invitation to give yourself the one thing that changes everything:You.Support the show✨ Thank you for listening!

We are joined this week by author, screen writer, and friend of the show, Briana Cox to talk about Ryan Coogler's endeavors under the banner of the Marvel Cinematic universe: Black Panther 1 and 2. Both movies feature Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, Letitia Wright, Martin Freeman, among many others. Looking back we discuss the impact the first film had on the culture, our love/hate relationship with the first film and the failures of the second, how both movies sugar coat the CIA's history of violating the sovereignty of African nations, and one of the most important thing the movies did was open mainstream audiences to the beauty of Afrofuturism.To check out some of the works mentioned during the episode, follow these links:Born in FlamesSpace is the PlaceNaked RealityBeasts of the Southern WildSpider-Man: Into the Spider-VerseSpider-Man: Across the Spider-VerseInto the Mother Lands: An Afrofuturist TTRPGGuest LinksOfficial WebsitePreorder Indigent!Briana on InstagramBriana on ThreadsLeft of the Projector LinksOfficial WebsiteLeft of the Projector on InstagramLeft of the Projector on PatreonLeft of the Projector on ThreadlessHost LinksEvan's LetterboxdBill's InstagramBill's LetterboxdWard's...

In today's episode, we unpack the Human Design of Amanda Gibby Peters, who is a Feng Shui expert, teacher inside the HDx Collective, and one of my favourite humans to learn from right now. This conversation goes far beyond fame and success. We dive into burnout, ambition, emotional authority, and what it really takes for a Projector to build something powerful without sacrificing herself in the process.We explore Amanda's Cross of Obscuration and her deep drive to uncover truth, bring order to chaos, and preserve what truly matters. We talk about self-preservation, learning to say no, stepping into authority, and why her greatest gift is not doing more, but seeing clearly. If you've ever felt driven, capable, and exhausted all at once, this episode will land.I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coachBig love,MxxAmanda's Details:IG: https://www.instagram.com/amandagibbypeters/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simpleshui/House Therapy podcast: https://simpleshui.com/podcasts/BodyGraph Chart SoftwareCreate your own Human Design chart tool with BodyGraphChart!

In this episode, we officially enter Phase 2 of the Path of the Empress: the 13 AbunDANCE Initiations, and I'm introducing the very first focus of this phase, Eating by Design.This is not an educational breakdown of Human Design variables or a “look it up on Google” episode. Instead, I'm sharing real-life stories and lived experience around determination, digestion, and brain health through the lens of Human Design, and why eating in alignment with your design can change everything, from energy levels to weight, clarity, and overall vitality.I talk about:What Eating by Design actually meansActive vs. passive brain digestion and how differently bodies functionWhy fasting is supportive for some and harmful for othersHow misaligned health advice can create brain fog, weight gain, and burnoutClosed taste determination and honoring what your body already knowsWhy this knowledge is especially important for parents and childrenThis episode is an invitation to stop forcing your body into someone else's method and begin listening to how your body is designed to digest, process, and decide.I also share why this work is foundational to abundance and why we'll be diving much deeper into it inside the Empress Sanctuary live call on February 6th at 12PM CT. CLICK HERE to learn more about the Empress Sanctuary Membership for women on their awakening journey.Support the show✨ Thank you for listening!

In a time long, long ago. Before Jedi and wookies or misunderstanding of parsecs, a man made a movie that was less of a film and more of a performance art piece. That director was George Lucas and that work was his directorial debut, THX 1138.This week we are joined by friend of the show Amanda Joy Moon to discuss Lucas's first feature film, a profoundly different piece from anything he ever made from that point on. Released in 1971, THX 1138 stars Robert Duvall as the eponymous THX 1138, Donald Pleasence, Don Pedro Colley, Maggie McOmie and Ian Wolfe in a piece filmed more like a documentary than a feature film depicting life in a bleak dystopian world of work, drug induced compliance, outlawed sexual and physical interaction, and the complete absorption of religion by the state and capital. We discuss the metaphorical nature of the film, Amanda offers some incredible book recommendations, and we all condemn Lucas for going back and shoving CGI remakes into this film like he did to Star Wars.

If Projectors are designed for success, why do so many of them feel stuck, overlooked, or burned out?  In this episode, Nicole explores one of the biggest misconceptions quietly holding Projectors back — especially in business. If you're a Projector who knows you're capable of more but keeps hesitating, second-guessing, or pulling back when things start to feel like "too much," this conversation will resonate. Rather than focusing on how much energy Projectors do or don't have, this episode reframes the issue entirely. Nicole breaks down how perception, past burnout, and outdated beliefs about capacity create invisible limits — and how those limits directly impact recognition, invitations, and success. What feels like self-protection may actually be the very thing standing in the way. You'll also hear why success for Projectors isn't about doing less, but about structuring things differently — with enough space, support, and self-trust to stay aligned. From time management to visibility, this episode challenges the idea that Projectors need to play small in order to stay well. If you're ready to stop limiting yourself, reconnect with what makes you magnetic, and redefine success on your own terms, this episode will leave you feeling grounded, empowered, and curious about what's possible next.

What if the “alpha” you've been chasing was never something you had to become… but something you had to remember?In this interview-season episode of the Alpha Male Coach Podcast, I sit down with a brother who's close to my heart: Salu “Lu” Smith - a fellow Projector, a long-time student in the Academy, a graduate of Tribe Class 002, and a mentor who returned to support Tribe Class 003. This is not a surface-level conversation about tactics, dominance, or performance. This is an initiation story. A seven-year transformation. A real example of what happens when a man stops outsourcing his power and starts listening to the voice inside him that already knows the truth.Lou takes us back to the beginning: 2018 in California, a relationship that exposed the “nice guy” conditioning, and the pressure he felt to become harder, stronger, more masculine - not from alignment, but from insecurity. Like a lot of men, he got pulled into the mainstream “alpha male” content and the idea that being an alpha was about getting women, gaining status, and proving something. But underneath that drive was something deeper: a craving to finally feel enough.That search eventually brought him to this podcast and to the Model of Alignment - the simple but life-changing understanding that your circumstances don't create your results… your thoughts do. Lou shares how he would come in and out of coaching at first, trying to “figure it out” on his own, until life humbled him into a deeper commitment. And that commitment became the turning point: not because the answers were outside of him, but because having a coach helped him see what he couldn't yet see in himself.We go deep on what it really means to invest in your inner world - especially when money fear, doubt, and ego resistance rise up. Lou explains how the leap always feels risky in the moment, but once the decision is made, reality starts rearranging around it. The money figures itself out. The mind quiets down. The path opens.From there, we talk about Tribe - not just as coach training, but as a high-accountability brotherhood container where men hold space for each other to grow, awaken, and lead. Lou shares what it was like to experience Tribe first as a student in Class 002, then to return as a mentor in Class 003. Watching other men rise didn't just inspire him - it expanded him. It sharpened his understanding. It brought new layers of wisdom online.And then we go to the hardest question of all: How do you explain “the lights being on” to someone who's never had the lights on before? How do you describe awakening to a man still living inside the program?Lou's answer is simple and profound: you don't convince the mind. You invite the feeling. You listen for resonance. You trust the signal. And you take the leap - even when it scares you - because that fear is often the ego trying to keep the old identity alive.If you've been feeling that pull inside you… this episode is for you.Elevate Your Alpha.

Evan and Bill discuss the newest entry in the 28 Days Later series, "28 Years Later- The Bone Temple". Directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Alex Garland, the film stars Ralph Fiennes reprising his role as Dr. Ian Kelson and Alfie Williams as Spike, alongside newcomers Chi Lewis-Parry, Jack O'Connel, Erin Kellyman, Emma Laird, Sam Locke, and Mirren Mack among others.Listeners beware because this episode is not free of spoilers, including a bombshell reveal at the last moment of the film. We discuss the evolution of zombie films, how this series is closer to Romero's vision of zombies than many fans give it credit for, and the way in which it reflects some harsh realities we all need to grapple with during these very difficult times.Left of the Projector LinksOfficial WebsiteLeft of the Projector on InstagramLeft of the Projector on PatreonLeft of the Projector on ThreadlessHost LinksEvan's LetterboxdBill's InstagramBill's LetterboxdWard's InstagramWard's Letterboxd

This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with artist and educator Michael Townsend. Michael is the founder of the Tape Art movement and for over 30 years, he has created hundreds of ephemeral murals and community projects around the world. His work includes the 9/11 Hope Project, the invention of the BOOM! Projector, and the now-legendary documentary Secret Mall Apartment. Directed by Jeremy Workman and executive produced by Jesse Eisenberg, the critically acclaimed documentary follows Michael and his collaborators, who, in 2003, secretly built and lived in an apartment inside Providence Place Mall for four years. What started as an underground protest against gentrification has become a cultural phenomenon, a story about art, resistance, and community. At the center of the film is Michael Townsend, the artist whose work sparked the story. Michael has found a way to live his art, and give back to his community and the country all the while, from teaching collaborative drawing in hospitals and schools, and building projects designed to disappear physically but endure culturally. The mall apartment was one project among many — a piece of protest art that happened to be documented, and in this episode host Michael Shields and Michael Townsend delve into Michael's motivations, his enduring and inspiring work with Tape Art, the blended line between art and everyday living that defines Michael's life, and so much more.

In this episode, I'm continuing the Empress Method by exploring what comes after effort: surrender.We talk about why the mind and ego are wired to keep us gripping, controlling, and forcing outcomes, and how true embodiment requires learning how to release, not give up, but let life move through us.I share how surrender isn't passive, weak, or spiritual bypassing. It's an embodied practice of trust. A willingness to loosen control, soften the body, and allow the next step to reveal itself instead of trying to force clarity.This episode is for anyone who feels tired of pushing, exhausted by effort, or stuck because they're trying to “figure it out” instead of letting the body lead.This is the Empress learning how to float with the river instead of fighting it._____________________________________________

This week we are joined by friend of the show, Seizethemeansshirts to discuss Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's Eleven." With an ensemble cast of George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Bernie Mac, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Elliot Gould, Carl Reiner, Andy Garcia and Julia Roberts (among others), this remake of the Rat Pack's own Ocean's Eleven from 1960 went on to spawn two trilogies and a spin off led by Sandra Bullock.We discuss the creation of wealth, the unity of the proletariat vs the schisms of the capitalists and their fundamental atomization, our guest points out more inconsistencies in the heist than one of us is comfortable with and we still come out unable to decide whether this is the greatest remake of all time or just one of the greatest remakes of all time.Guest LinksSeize the Means Shirts on EtsySeize the Means Shirts on InstagramSeize the Means Shirts on YoutubeLeft of the Projector LinksOfficial WebsiteLeft of the Projector on InstagramLeft of the Projector on PatreonLeft of the Projector on ThreadlessHost LinksEvan's LetterboxdBill's InstagramBill's LetterboxdWard's InstagramWard's Letterboxd

In this episode, I'm introducing Steps Five (Embody) and Six (Satisfaction) of the Empress Method and sharing how this work was born through lived experience, embodiment, and real-life integration, not theory.We talk about:What it means to embody the version of you who already has what you desireWhy embodiment goes far beyond mindset or visualizationThe subtle shifts that create massive change (energy, presence, posture, choices)How I began embodying my Empress self while still behind the chairUsing symbols, tokens, and micro-changes to anchor identity shiftsWhy satisfaction is a practice, not a future achievementAn introduction to the Empress Sanctuary and the journey insideThis episode is for you if you're tired of thinking about change and ready to become the version of you who lives it._____________________________________________

In this episode, I'm sharing what's alive right now inside The Empress Sanctuary, introducing the foundation of the Empress Method, and previewing what comes next with Pivot and Rejuvenation.We go deep into why “the method” isn't just a mindset framework, it's an embodiment pathway. I talk about beliefs, unconscious thought patterns, and how so much of what we call “manifestation” is really about becoming aware of the thoughts we've been thinking on autopilot for years. We explore how beliefs form early (in the womb and through key childhood windows), how conditioning becomes generational, and why the body is the subconscious mind.______________________________________________

In this episode, I'm introducing the first two steps of the Empress Method: Expanding Love and The Mirror.I share how the Empress Method came through, why these two steps are the foundation of embodied sovereignty, and how expanding love is not about bypassing or positivity, but about increasing capacity, safety, and truth in the body.We explore how the mirror works in real life and relationships, why what triggers or inspires you is never random, and how these reflections are invitations into deeper self-trust and self-leadership.I also weave in personal stories, lived examples of expanding love, and insights around Line 5 energy in Human Design, including projection, leadership, and why Empresses are often seen as mirrors before they are fully understood.This episode is for you if you're ready to:Stop outsourcing your powerUnderstand your reflections instead of resisting themLead yourself with love, clarity, and embodied authorityStep more fully into your Empress Era_____________________________________________________________________I am calling in women who are ready to be deeply supported in 2026. The Year of the Empress isn't about doing more. It's about being held while you remember who you are.This year is for the woman who is done living in survival, done leading from tension, done earning rest, and ready to receive support, safety, and sovereignty as her new baseline.There are three doorways into the Year of the Empress:

We close out the holiday season with one of the all time greats, The Muppet Christmas Carol. Joining us is friend of the show Jackie; a librarian, Muppet aficionado, and the wife who fuels the revolutionary love of one of our hosts (it's the host that name drops his wife more than he does Marx or Lenin). Widely recognized as one of the most faithful adaptations of the Dickens' classic, the film stars Michael Caine as Scrooge, Gonzo the Great as Charles Dickens, Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchit, and Rizzo the Rat as himself and was the first Muppet film directed by Jim Henson's son Brian Henson following the death of his father. We discuss the accuracy of the movie, the influences that led Dickens to write the story in the first place, what the story has to say about alienation, and how two Marleys is better than one amongst other things.Only two more sleeps 'til Christmas 2025, and here at Left of the Projector we wish for a world where all us meeces can have cheeses.**Cheeses in this case is a unified and liberated working class working towards fully automated luxury gay space communism.

News: LG will debut its first Micro RGB television at CES Local ABC, CBS, FOX, & NBC Stations Are Demanding Up to a 50% Price Hike for Cable TV Customers WBD board recommends rejection of Paramount's takeover bid Other: YouTube TV Wants to Unbundle the Cable Package That Streamers Were Meant to Kill in the First Place Tailwind Meross Garage Door Opener HT Guys Amazon List Swapping a projector for a 100" TV  Jon Taylor recently purchased a TCL 98QM7K (2025 model, QD-Mini LED QLED with Google TV) during Black Friday for $1,999.99 (50% off the $3,999.99 retail price). After using it for a couple of weeks in his basement home theater (replacing an older 82" Samsung and supplementing a projector setup), he shares highly positive impressions. Key Highlights: Size and Installation: The 98" screen is enormous and immersive. Delivery and installation (included from Best Buy) went smoothly, though modifications to basement stairs were needed to fit the massive box. Picture Quality: Exceptional deep blacks (best non-OLED he's seen, rivaling his old Panasonic plasma), vibrant colors, and strong contrast. Upscaling of lower-resolution content (720p/1080p from cable, Blu-ray, streaming) is excellent. 4K sources, including Ultra HD Blu-ray and YouTube, look stunning with minimal motion blur. Performance Across Sources: Built-in Google TV streaming: Clear and smooth. Roku Premier: Deep blacks and popping colors. Standout: Apple TV 4K shines brightest, leveraging Dolby Vision for an incredibly vivid, "popping" image—far superior to non-Dolby Vision devices on his previous Samsung. Gaming and Features: 144Hz refresh rate delivers outstanding performance with low motion lag. Fun feature: Displays four simultaneous 48" screens for NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. Observations: Large size exposes weaknesses in poor cable signals (fixed by rerouting). He notes TCL (and Hisense) are seriously challenging premium brands (Samsung, LG, Sony) with high-end specs at budget prices, earning praise from reviewers like RTINGS.com. Jon historically preferred established brands for reliability but now sees TCL/Hisense as the new value leaders, similar to how Samsung/LG rose decades ago. He recommends checking out the latest high-end TCL models, especially for large sizes where premium brands were too expensive for him. He's also considering switching from Verizon Fios to a streaming TV service to cut costs. Overall, Jon is thrilled with the TV's performance and value, calling it a "force to be reckoned with."

Are you in alignment with your joy and career to create the biggest impact?Listen in today as Michelle Pecak shares with host Natalie Benamou, how she went from scaling billion-dollar companies through pricing strategies to realizing her real superpower and aligning her joy to her job. “I meet people for other people so I can connect them later.”- Michelle PecakThat simple idea is at the heart of Michelle's joy job.What work are you doing that lights you up and creates real value for others? It can look different for each of us from corporate roles, growing businesses, landing a board seat, or designing a portfolio career. A joy job expands from the patterns that have always been true about you: how you listen, how you decide, how you gather people, how you see possibilities.Michelle brings Human Design into the conversation as a way to see those patterns with more clarity. She describes Human Design as an adventure map of you. Instead of guessing at your strengths, you get language for them. You see why certain work feels natural, why certain rooms feel right, and why some seasons call you toward a bigger stage.Together, we talk about:How Michelle recognized that “being the connector” was not an extra, it was the pointWhy Joy Job work can sit alongside your current role and grow with youHow Human Design gives you a personal map and a North Star for your giftsThe power of viewing your experiences as lessons that are shaping your impactSimple ways to start noticing where your own Joy Job is already showing upThis episode is a reminder that you are not starting from scratch. Your Joy Job has been whispering to you for years in the introductions you make, the problems you love to solve, and the people who always seem to find you.Add in Human Design and gain a clear map so you can choose your next move with intention and create the impact you are here to make.Thank you Michelle Pecak for being a valued member and alliance partner of HerCsuite®!About Michelle PecakTwenty years in Corporate America taught me what misalignment feels like. When I learned my Human Design, everything clicked. I realized I had been working in systems that were never built for how I naturally lead.As a 5/1 Projector, I see what others miss. I bring clarity to complexity, align people with purpose, and design systems that work better for everyone. That has always been my gift.When you work in alignment with how you are wired, momentum follows. Success becomes sustainable. Impact becomes natural.My Vibe Human DesignMichelle Pecak on LinkedInMeet, connect and engage with Michelle Pecak inside HerCsuite® NEXT2LEAD AI CouncilKeep shining your light bright.

A conversation with me – I'm sitting on the other side of the mic at BBC Radio London with Robert Elms on his Sunday morning show on November 16th 2025 when I was in London for my live katsuben show Mic! Projector! Action! at Regent Street Cinema with Japanese silent films on the big screen and me on stage voice acting all of the characters. It was a joy to be invited to BBC Broadcasting House and chat briefly with Robert live on air... stand by for a curry dad-joke!!

The Connecticut Yankee atomic power plant was one of the earliest commercial nuclear reactors in New England.  Though it was dismantled at the turn of the 21st century, its legacy remains, both for the landscape of the Connecticut River Valley where it once stood, and for contemporary debates about energy today.  This episode explores the plant's life and afterlife, the activists who opposed it, and the promises and perils of nuclear power in the 1960s and today, through the reminiscences of Paul Gionfriddo, a former state legislator and longtime president of People's Action for Clean Energy, a group that has advocated for conservation and renewable energy in Connecticut since the early 1970s.   This episode is presented by Dr. Amrys Williams and Jon Kozak. Williams is a historian of science, technology,and the environment who serves as the Executive Director of the Connecticut League of Museums.  Her recent research projects have focused on anti-nuclear activism, radioecology, and the public interpretation of nuclear places. Kozak is a graduate student in Public History at Central Connecticut State University and the Communications Manager for the Connecticut League of Museums. His recent research has focused on energy landscapes and the Connecticut Yankee plant.   Their guest is Paul Gionfriddo is a former state representative and mayor of Middletown, a graduate of Wesleyan University, and a retired nonprofit professional.  He has advocated for mental health and renewable energy, and served as President of People's Action for Clean Energy from 1975 until 1999.    For more information, visit these sites:   -Connecticut Yankee website: connyankee.com/ -People's Action for Clean Energy website: pacecleanenergy.org/  -1960s film of the construction of the Connecticut Yankee Nuclear Power Plant: youtube.com/watch?v=AiCYVMboju8 -The Atom and Eve, 1960s film promoting CT Yankee plant and atomic power in New England: footagefarm.com/reel-details/communications/telephone/1966---colour-atomic-energy-usa--atom-and-eve ; https://catalog.archives.gov/id/88095  -US Department of Energy Flickr Photo Stream, with many images of the Haddam Neck Plant before and during its operating lifetime: flickr.com/photos/departmentofenergy/10822396434/in/photostream/ -Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company, Haddam Neck Plant Records at the University of Connecticut Archives and Special Collections: archivessearch.lib.uconn.edu/repositories/2/resources/335  -Wesleyan Anti-Nuclear Protests Collection, Wesleyan University Archives and Special Collections: archives.wesleyan.edu/repositories/ua/resources/wesleyan_university_anti-nuclear_protests_collecti  -Connecticut Collections: ctcollections.org/   Production notes -Projector sound effect: cine-projector SFX.wav by Rollo145 -- https://freesound.org/s/220348/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 3.0 -Archival audio from: -Gene Starbecker, The Atom and Eve (Bay State Film Production Inc., 1966). -Construction of Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Plant, produced for Connecticut Yankee by Kevin Donovan Films, Glastonbury, CT, ca. 1968.

I'll be honest: when friends started telling me I "had to get my Human Design chart read," I was skeptical. Another personality test? But then I sat down with Emma Dunwoody, and everything changed.Unlike every other profiling tool out there, Human Design doesn't ask you a single question. Instead, it reads your energetic blueprint based on the exact moment and place you were born. And here's what blew my mind: Emma saw things in my chart that I've felt my entire life but never had the language to express.In this episode, Emma (behavioral specialist, Human Design expert, and author of Human Design Made Simple) breaks down exactly what Human Design is and why it's taking the personal development world by storm. We explore what Human Design actually is and how it differs from astrology, the five energy types and why knowing yours changes everything, and why so many of us feel exhausted because we're fighting against our natural design. Whether you're Human Design curious or have no idea what any of this means, Emma makes it accessible, practical, and honestly... life changing. This conversation gave me permission to stop trying to be someone I'm not, and I have a feeling it'll do the same for you.Connect with Emma Dunwoody: emmadunwoody.comLink to her book: Human Design Made SimpleEmma Dunwoody on Instagram: the_human_design_coachConnect with Sabrina:https://www.instagram.com/Sabrina_Soto/www.SabrinaSoto.com

For Manifestors, visibility is powerful, but it's also dangerous. We're designed to initiate, to spark movements, to light things up. But when that spark catches, it can quickly become something else: pressure. People start wanting your energy instead of your work. They want your time, your creativity, your guidance. And suddenly, your energy is the product. In this episode, Holly shares how she had to set strong energetic boundaries when her business was still small, because even at 2,500 followers, the pull for her energy was already huge. She shows you how this is happening with her friend, a Projector with 270k followers, who's only now experiencing that level of energetic demand. Together, these stories reveal something crucial about the Manifestor experience: popularity isn't measured by numbers, but by how our energy moves people. You'll learn how to protect your creative rhythm, reclaim your sovereignty, and stop over-giving your power. Because your energy was never meant to be consumed or demanded on, it was meant to initiate.

In this episode of The Alpha Male Coach Podcast, Kevin Aillaud steps away from the Matrix series to revisit one of the most essential elements of the conscious man's journey - confidence. With precision and presence, Kevin explores what true confidence really is beyond external results, ego validation, or social conditioning. Confidence, as he teaches, is not built through success or achievement - it is built through alignment.Kevin explains that the foundation of confidence rests on three pillars: thoughts, feelings, and actions. When a man thinks truthfully, feels fully, and acts with integrity, he becomes indomitable. Confidence isn't a mood or personality trait - it's a spiritual condition rooted in congruence with one's higher self. It's the awareness that your inner world shapes the outer world, and that your power lies not in the Matrix, but in your consciousness.He also draws the distinction between inner awakening and outer awareness, reminding listeners that real transformation begins within. Without self-knowledge, the outer world - the Matrix - becomes a mirror of conditioning and confusion. Most people, Kevin notes, are adults in form but children in consciousness, replaying childhood safety patterns in their relationships, work, and self-image. Confidence is the breaking of that cycle. It's the courage to follow through on your truth, even when fear arises.Through story and example, Kevin illustrates this principle with a lesson from a friend whose confidence was tested at work. When she made a declaration - “If this person is promoted over me, I'll quit” - and didn't follow through, her confidence took a hit. The point isn't about quitting or staying; it's about spiritual integrity. When your higher self speaks and you don't act in alignment with that truth, you weaken your inner trust. Confidence grows from keeping promises to yourself - especially when fear is present.Kevin emphasizes that fear does not oppose confidence; rather, it can become its greatest ally. Fear is simply a vibration, the energetic tension between your old patterns and your new intentions. When you feel fear and still move forward in alignment with your truth, you expand your power. When you avoid or suppress it, you reinforce the illusion of limitation.In his own life, Kevin shares how discipline, awareness, and energy management sustain his confidence - from his workouts and meditation practice to the way he honors his spiritual blueprint as a Projector in Human Design. The lesson is clear: confidence is not about doing more - it's about doing what is aligned, consciously and completely.This episode invites you to revisit your own confidence - not as something to achieve, but as something to remember. It's already within you. When you think truthfully, feel deeply, and act courageously, you become both an immovable object and an unstoppable force.Listen now to rediscover the source of indomitable self-confidence and Elevate Your Alpha.

What happens after you survive the unimaginable — and life expects you to simply move on? In this episode, 1/3 Emotional Projector Jessica Buchanan shares how being kidnapped and held hostage in Somalia became only the beginning of her true story. She opens up about the long and often unseen process of “surviving survival” — rebuilding identity, trust, and purpose after trauma — and how she transformed that journey into a mission to help others do the same. Jessica reveals how learning her Human Design as a Projector gave her permission to rest, release the pressure to hustle, and finally trust her own rhythm. Together, she and Nicole explore what it means to stop forcing outcomes, let life unfold through alignment, and find the courage to redefine success on your own terms. This conversation is equal parts raw and empowering — a reminder that healing isn't about going back to who you were, but about honoring who you've become. Whether you're recovering from burnout, heartbreak, or a major life shift, Jessica's story will show you that purpose can rise even from the hardest moments, if you're willing to see yourself differently.

This episode is an introduction to projector sewing! Projector sewists skip the paper and project patterns directly onto fabric. We talk about what you need for a successful setup and how to use it; the pros and cons of projector sewing vs. printing out PDF patterns; and whether we're planning to start using projectors (we disagree!). We also answer a listener question about pants length adjustments. Show Notes
