This week I'm joined by Martin 2 Smoove — Ministry of Sound Milkshake resident, tour DJ for Eve and for Romesh Ranganathan, and a man who held down a Pacha residency alongside Trevor Nelson. Martin was born in Kerala, raised in Basildon, and spent his teens watching Trevor on MTV Base thinking that's the job I want. A night out at 17 watching the Dream Team turn a room inside out sealed it. What follows is one of the most honest accounts of the slow route I've had on the show: an economics degree taken to keep his parents happy, summers as a runner at Wise Buddah fetching drinks for 50 Cent, years of breaking into halls of residence with armfuls of flyers, and a long stretch between 2010 and 2012 where nothing moved at all while everyone he graduated with got on with their careers.Then a call from a contact at Atlantic about an American artist needing a tour DJ turned out to be Eve, and thirteen years later he's still there. We get into the craft of it too — the Leicester Square residency where the owner would ask him to clear the dance floor on purpose, six years playing 80s and 90s pop at Jazz Cafe that taught him more about music than anything else he's done, why Shazam charts are a month ahead of the actual charts, and why being easy to travel with matters as much as what you can do on the turntables. Martin's the kind of guest who makes you want to take the unglamorous gig. Really enjoyed this one.What we get into:Growing up in Basildon with no music in the house, and finding Michael Jackson, MTV Base and Trevor NelsonSeeing the Dream Team at 17 and deciding on the spot that making a room happy was the jobStudying economics at Keele to shut his parents up, and hating every minute of the academic sideWhy he'll still take the right gig for free, and how the long-term view has paid off repeatedlyBeing a runner at Wise Buddah, getting studio drops from Mariah Carey and Xzibit, and learning artist etiquette the hard wayWarming up for Trevor Nelson at universities, and twenty years of Milkshake at Ministry of SoundThe 2010–2012 stretch where nothing happened, and the digging-for-diamonds meme he wishes he'd seen thenTwo summers at Pacha, and bringing R&B and hip hop to an island that wasn't playing itLeicester Square and Jazz Cafe: learning to clear a dance floor on purpose, and what Karma Chameleon does to a roomThe U2 end-of-tour party where nobody danced for four hours until one request changed everythingGetting the Eve call, messing up the second gig, and the look of death on stageGumball 3000, working Mondays unpaid to learn the clothing business, and a BAPE collaboration on the wayVJing Romesh Ranganathan's arena tour, and how to add value rather than just play a setWhy Shazam charts beat the official charts by a monthRunning a DJ agency with Andy Purnell and Luke, and why being easy to travel with is a professional skill

Pure Socialism can never work properly in human relationships because it violates to basic principles of human nature.First of all, it confuses who gets reinforced for what and by whom.Secondly, it locates power away from the individual and puts it in the hands of a third-party.Prosperous arrangements of humans dictate that these two principles must be honored. Socialism distorts these conditions and leads to lower productivity and innovation.We discuss these ideas and talk about differences between capitalism and socialism.Clip from: PragerUCapitalism vs. Socialism | 5 Minute VideoFollow Us:YouTubeXFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

Are you truly happy, or just chasing a counterfeit? Have you ever followed a piece of advice that sounded great in the moment, only to realize it led you straight into an absolute mess? We've all been there. We live in a world that constantly tells us, "Just do whatever makes you happy!" But let's be honest—if most of us did exactly what made us "happy" in our flesh, we'd probably end up broken, miserable, and spiritually bankrupt. In this message, "The Foundation for Godly Living," we dive into Psalm 1—the grand introduction to the entire book of Psalms, and the ultimate blueprint for a life of genuine peace, joy, and eternal security. The Downward Spiral of Compromise God knows how easily we get off track, so He starts this Psalm with three warnings that show us how fast we can slide down the wrong path. It's a descending staircase. • Walking in the advice of the wicked (taking cues from those far from God). • Standing in the pathway with sinners (hanging out, letting your lives get intertwined). • Sitting in the company of mockers (getting comfortable, sitting on the couch, and committing to a lifestyle of rebellion). "Whoever you spend your time with in a predominant way is who you will eventually become—for better or for worse." Are you taking advice from Reddit, Google, or that one "knucklehead" friend who always agrees with your worst ideas? Or are you taking advice from the Creator of the universe? Retraining Your Spiritual Taste Buds Why don't we delight in God's Word the way we should? Because we've trained our souls to crave the spiritual equivalent of junk food. If you want to experience the blessing of God, you have to go through the discipline of retraining your heart. When you delight in His law and meditate on it day and night, you become: - Like a tree planted by flowing streams: Unshakable, deeply rooted, and constantly sustained. - Fruitful in every season: Bringing forth life, love, and character that actually lasts. - Prosperous through the trials: Not meaning you have the Midas touch, but possessing a deep, supernatural peace that surpasses all understanding, even in the darkest valleys. We have all fallen short. We have all been the sinner, the mocker, and the rebel. But Jesus Christ came, died on a cross, and rose again to pay the debt for our rebellion. When you place your faith and trust in Him, you are robed in His righteousness. You don't have to face ruin. You can stand in the assembly of the righteous—forgiven, restored, and filled with new life. Where do you stand today? Are you walking with the world, or are you walking with the Savior?

What if your biggest revenue breakthrough this fall isn't another marketing tactic...but taking one hour to get clear on what you're actually building? In this mini-workshop, I walk you through the exact "Revenue Ready" exercise we recently did inside Majik Mind. Rather than chasing more ideas, more content, or more shiny objects, you'll take an honest look at your business, identify your strongest revenue opportunities, strengthen your partnership strategy, simplify your focus, and create a practical plan for your most prosperous fall yet. You'll also discover why I believe relationships consistently outperform algorithms, how to prepare your offers before September arrives, and the one question that completely changed the direction of our coaching conversation. Grab a notebook, block off an hour, and work through the questions alongside me. By the end, you'll have a much clearer picture of what deserves your attention over the next 90 days. In this workshop you'll explore: • How to conduct a Revenue Audit • How to identify your highest-value revenue opportunities • How to know if your offers are actually ready to sell • Why strategic partnerships outperform constantly chasing new customers • How to prepare your marketing before the busy fall season • The hidden capacity bottlenecks that hold most entrepreneurs back • A simple framework for designing your next 90 days If you're a coach, consultant, educator, speaker, creator, author, transformation facilitator, or purpose-driven entrepreneur, I think you'll find this exercise incredibly valuable. I'd love to hear from you in the comments: What's the biggest insight or action you're taking away from this workshop? Resources & Show Notes

The Prosperous Society is a three-hour, four-part series by Eric Seufert of Mobile Dev Memo that explores the political economy of artificial intelligence, grounded in the liberal tradition of the Western canon.Framed as an extended response to John Kenneth Galbraith's The Affluent Society, which serves as the intellectual foil for the series, The Prosperous Society makes the case that AI is not principally a story about intelligence, but about economics: it represents a progressive technological revolution that shifts the binding constraint on economic growth from production to distribution. In doing so, it redefines the role of digital advertising as the coordination infrastructure of an increasingly personalized economy.Last summer, when I began outlining The Prosperous Society, I set out to write an economic defense of artificial intelligence to serve as ballast for more pessimistic narratives. It was originally intended to be a short book. I pivoted to the podcast format when those narratives reached fever pitch earlier this year because I wanted to respond quickly and release new episodes on a regular cadence. But The Prosperous Society evolved into something broader: a defense of liberal political economy in the age of artificial intelligence.Over the course of three hours, I develop that thesis through four linked but distinct arguments:Part 1: Why AI makes distribution more important than production.Part 2: Why autonomous commerce is a false ideal.Part 3: Why personalization changes the economics of the long tail—and of identity itself.Part 4: Where the moral boundary lies between AI that expands freedom and AI that robs us of it.If the series succeeds, I hope it provides a rigorous intellectual case for why AI, if properly constrained and thoughtfully applied, can reaffirm the liberal tradition of Western political economy while helping to usher in one of the great periods of economic expansion in human history.

The Prosperous SpiritTeaching & Prayer with Overseer Azizah MorrisonLaunching the July series, Even As Your Soul Prospers: Understanding, Accessing, Activating, and Living a Prosperous Life, this teaching explores the biblical foundation of prosperity from a perspective that goes far beyond money.Drawing from 3 John 2, Joshua 1:8, and Proverbs 23:7, Overseer Azizah Morrison examines why the Apostle John prayed that Gaius would prosper "even as thy soul prospereth" and reveals that prosperity begins within before it is ever manifested without.This lesson challenges common misconceptions about prosperity by teaching that biblical prosperity is not merely financial increase, but the flourishing of a life under the influence of God's wisdom, truth, and purpose. Listeners are encouraged to examine the governing influences of their thoughts, beliefs, expectations, and perspectives, recognizing that many external limitations are rooted in internal conditions of the soul.Through practical and spiritual insight, this teaching explores the difference between living under a spirit of fear, lack, and limitation versus cultivating a prosperous spirit shaped by faith, truth, vision, and Kingdom thinking.The accompanying prayer focuses on the renewal of the mind, freedom from limiting beliefs, deliverance from scarcity thinking, and the development of a soul that is capable of sustaining the increase, opportunities, and assignments God desires to entrust to His people.This is the beginning of a deeper conversation about prosperity—not merely as something we possess, but as something that first transforms us from within.

Dan Zitofsky built his real estate business around one simple concept. Become the bank. In this episode, Dan explains how he creates passive income by buying properties, fully rehabbing them, and then seller-financing them to investors building rental portfolios. He walks through how he structures his deals, why he requires large down payments, and how he creates long-term note income while reducing risk. Dan also shares why he focuses on affordable workforce housing in emerging Midwest and Southern markets where rents remain accessible to everyday workers. Later in the episode, he discusses how years of passive income and note payoffs eventually led him into major development projects in Roatan, Honduras. Dan explains how he recognized the island's rapid growth early and why he believes it has become one of the best investments of his career.

Krista dives into one of the biggest challenges she sees aspiring coaches and business owners face: charging for their work. After ten years of running her own coaching business and working with hundreds of coaches, she's learned that money fears aren't a sign that something is wrong. They're often a sign that you're growing.From guilt around charging and fears of being seen as greedy to the deeper beliefs many women carry about money, service, and self-worth, Krista shares the mindset shifts that helped her build a profitable coaching business while staying aligned with her values. She also explores why receiving is just as important as giving and why the real issue for many coaches isn't pricing—it's permission.In this episode:• Why so many spiritual women struggle to charge for their services and where those beliefs often come from• The difference between selling a session and creating transformation for your clients• How undercharging can lead to burnout, resentment, and a business that struggles to grow• Why receiving money for your work can be one of the most powerful forms of energetic exchangeThe deepest issue is rarely pricing. It's permission. Permission to be visible. Permission to receive. Permission to take up space. And permission to be both spiritual and prosperous at the same time.

James Romm discusses his book Plato and the Tyrant. Syracuse emerged as an immensely powerful and prosperous state in the 4th century BCE under the rule of Dionysius the Elder. He rose to power as a demagogue by railing against elite leaders and was appointed general by the sympathetic masses. To secure his rule, Dionysius utilized the "Island," a peninsula fortress with a natural spring that made it impossible to starve out during a siege. Dionysius broke Greek custom by practicing polygamy, marrying two women on the same day to project a superhuman, royal image. This double marriage eventually sparked civil war and rivalry between his children. (1/8)1871

Mary Kissel discusses the historic indictment of Raul Castro for the 1996 shootdown of unarmed aircraft. She interprets this move as diplomatic leverage to encourage a transition toward a more open, prosperous Cuba. (10/16)1910 JULIETTA IDAHO

Showing up is not something that just happens. It's not a personality trait some people have and others don't. It's a muscle — and like any muscle, it has to be trained, worked, and maintained. Not just when you're in crisis, not just when the deadline is breathing down your neck, but every single day, whether things feel easy or hard, whether you're feeling inspired or completely over it.I've been watching this play out in real time with my own clients lately — people who are smart, talented, and deeply committed to their work, and who still find themselves backing out at the last minute, going dark when things get hard, or waiting until they feel ready before they take the next step. And what I keep coming back to is this: the inner work, the nervous system awareness, the mindset shifts, the healing — all of it is real and all of it matters. But none of it does anything without the muscle that makes you actually show up and do the thing.In this episode I'm getting into what I'm calling the show up muscle — what it is, why it's non-negotiable, and what it actually takes to build it. I'm talking about the daily practices that create resilience before you need it, the difference between knowing you should do something and actually doing it, and why at a certain point, healing is a choice. There's also something I want to say about compare and despair, about the "show must go on" mentality that I grew up with, and about why confidence is not something you think your way into — it's something you build by doing the thing you're most afraid to do.Reasons to tune in:Why showing up is a muscle — and why you have to build it before you need it, not just when everything feels like it's falling apartThe difference between doing the inner work and actually moving forward — and how endless healing work can become its own form of staying stuckWhy confidence isn't something you build by thinking about doing the thing — it's built by actually doing it, even when it feels terribleWhat the "show must go on" mentality really means for coaches, creatives, and service-based business ownersWhy the best time to build your practices is when everything is going well — and what my husband, the psychoanalyst, has to say about thatHow to tell the difference between something genuinely dangerous and something your nervous system just wants you to avoidWhy compare and despair is something you manage, not something you cure — and what that management actually looks like in real lifeThe kinds of support only you can give yourself — and the kinds that require other people around youLife is hard. And there is always something you can do about it. This episode is about building the muscle that makes that true.Want to discover some of the incredible coaches and experts in the Passionate & Prosperous community?

It argues that the pervasive application of AI to the digital economy will be broadly economically expansionary, leading to increased individual prosperity, expanded consumer choice, and greater human agency.In Episode 4, the conclusion to the series, I outline the AI-enabled flywheel to the Prosperous Society and make the case that it results in a more differentiated, more personalized, and economically expansive new digital economy:AI increases productive possibility, andAdvertising increases matching precision, andMatching precision increases specificity, andSpecificity increases expressive individuality, soSociety becomes more differentiated, not less.But I also consider the existence of an acceptable boundary for this personalization. At what point do siloed, wholly unique digital experiences become corrosive to social cohesion? And how should that boundary inform the investments that are currently being made into AI infrastructure, such that they are put to the best possible use?Thanks to the sponsors of this week's episode of the Mobile Dev Memo podcast:⁠⁠INCRMNTAL⁠⁠⁠.

The Prosperous Society is a podcast series by Mobile Dev Memo that articulates an AI Bull Thesis for the digital economy. It argues that the pervasive application of AI to the digital economy will be broadly economically expansionary, leading to increased individual prosperity, expanded consumer choice, and greater human agency.In Episode 3, I make the case that artificial intelligence stands to erode the Pareto Principle as it applies to production, as AI-enabled distribution efficiencies will enable firms to reach niche, specific audiences profitably. This will result in a wider diversity of goods being produced, creating a compounding effect on economic expansion and allowing consumers to better explore and define their own preferences and tastes.Thanks to the sponsors of this week's episode of the Mobile Dev Memo podcast:⁠⁠INCRMNTAL⁠⁠⁠.
