Brett Carollo, a dear friend of the show, joins us today to discuss his deep research into the connections between Hollywood and NASA (the U.S. government's space program). Hans Utter joins us for the first hour as well to contribute some questions to the conversation. NASA, like Hollywood is used for the management of perceptions. Government lies need a large team to roll them out and prop them up. No wonder Hollywood and NASA play so well together.Brett brings tons of information to share with us, including the results of his countless FOIA requests on the subject. We also discuss a long list of films which were all the result of NASA's collaborations with Hollywood, from Fly Me To The Moon (2024) to Flight Of The Navigator (1986). Brett shows us how NASA's real mission seems to actually be Public Relations and Culture Creation.

A 1911 Near Death Experience

In recent years, near-death experience (NDE) researchers have dared to suggest that this "out-of-body," or dualistic, phenomenon is evidence that consciousness survives death, thereby validating the words of St. Paul that we have two bodies-physical and spiritual-the spirit body separating from the physical body at the time of physical death, or within minutes of it. This "spirit" body has also been referred to as an etheric body, astral body, vehicle of vitality, double, doppelganger, and mental body. Some mystics and psychics claim there are more than two bodies, the so-called "second death" which involves a transition from one spirit body to a higher spirit body. The spirit body is attached to the physical body by what the Bible calls a "silver cord."While the umbilical cord is severed at birth, the silver cord is severed at death. Those having NDEs have experienced a separation of the bodies, but not a severance of the silver cord. For many years, dedicated researchers concluded that the NDE was more than a hallucination, a drug-induced reaction, the illusions of oxygen-deprivation, or some evolutionary chemical effect not yet understood by science, but most of them stopped short of suggesting that anything spiritual was involved. Such an hypothesis would have been looked upon as a "religious" explanation, and conflicted with the advancement of science, which was not open to a dualistic explanation, believing it had already impeached religion. Dedicated researchers, however, eventually came to see it as an advancement of science even if it did support religion.While the NDE was given a name in 1975 by Dr. Raymond Moody, and was being studied at the same time by Dr. Elisabeth Kűbler-Ross, reports of the phenomenon existed here and there but had not been collected in a single reference until Moody's best-selling Life After Life. Section two of this four-part book offers a number of pre-Moody NDEs, two of them probably the most dynamic or profound NDEs ever reported. The author otherwise draws from his interviews with a number of experiencers and researchers, along with leading references, all supporting the dualistic nature of the NDE.BioA 1958 graduate of the School of Journalism (B.A. Public Relations) at San Jose State University, Michael Tymn has contributed more than 1,600 articles to some 40 newspapers, magazines, journals, and books over the past 60 years. While most of his articles have dealt with subjects from the sports arena, Mike has done business, travel, metaphysical, and human interest features. He won the 1999 Robert H. Ashby Memorial Award given by The Academy of Religion and Psychical Research for his essay on "Dying, Death, and After Death." Writing assignments have taken him to such diverse places as Bangkok, Panama, Glastonbury (England), Jerusalem, Hollywood, St. Paul, and Tombstone. He has interviewed and written about more than 40 Olympians in his sports writing and has interviewed more than 20 scientists, researchers, educators, and philosophers in his metaphysical writing.Mike's four metaphysical books include include "The Articulate Dead," "The Afterlife Revealed," "Transcending the Titanic" and "The Afterlife Explorers." His running book is titled "Running on Third Wind." "The Afterlife Revealed" has thus far proved to be his most popular book.

For your communication to be credible, you can't just say it — you have to do it.Want people to believe what you say? According to Richard Edelman, the words you choose only get you halfway there. To build real trust, he says, you have to practice what you preach.“Action builds trust,” says Edelman. “If you don't do something, you can't talk about it.” As the president and CEO of Edelman, a leading global communications marketing firm, Edelman is widely recognized for his thought leadership in marketing and PR, especially on issues related to corporate trust, brand reputation, and social responsibility. His annual Edelman Trust Barometer reveals a sobering reality: "Two-thirds of people believe leaders lie to them now, business leaders, government leaders, even journalists." For people and organizations that want to rebuild trust, whether in a one-on-one relationship or with a customer base of millions, Edelman's advice is simple: "Decide, do, communicate."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Edelman and host Matt Abrahams explore strategies for winning trust when traditional authority no longer guarantees it. In an age of skepticism, Edelman's insights show that sustainable trust comes not from perfect messaging, but from consistently aligning your actions with your words.Episode Reference Links:Richard Edelman158.

In today's episode of The Valley Today, we delve into the collaborative and supportive efforts of Laurel Ridge Community College, focusing on their Small Business Development Center (SBDC). Host Janet Michael engaged in an informative conversation with Brandy Hawkins Boies, the Director of Public Relations and Special Events at the college, and Andy Gyurisin, the Director of Laurel Ridge SBDC. Brandy highlighted the vibrant community atmosphere at Laurel Ridge and how the college isn't just a place for students but a crucial support system for small businesses within the community. Andy elaborated on the extensive history and significance of the SBDC at Laurel Ridge, which has been supporting small businesses for over 25 years. He emphasized the invaluable federal, state, and local funding that makes their services possible and free for business owners. Janet and Andy discussed the misconception that the SBDC operates independently of the college. In reality, the SBDC is deeply embedded within the college, leveraging its resources to aid small businesses. This includes access to technology, personnel, and an enthusiastic community eager to support local enterprises. Furthermore, Andy stressed the importance of not working in silos and fostering connections between small businesses and the college to enhance mutual growth. The discussion also touched upon how SBDC's services, while free, are confidential, providing a safe space for business owners to discuss their challenges and ambitions. Beyond one-on-one counseling, SBDC's educational programs play a significant role in helping small businesses thrive, particularly in post-pandemic times when collaboration has become more critical than ever. Andy highlighted the variety of educational seminars the SBDC offers in partnerships with local chambers of commerce. Janet noted how these seminars are an excellent opportunity for business owners to gain insights and network in a laid-back setting. A particularly insightful moment came when Andy explained the importance of ongoing relationships with key professional advisors like bankers, lawyers, and accountants, likening it to the continuous support provided by the SBDC. Janet appreciated the holistic approach, reinforcing the idea that the SBDC is there to support businesses, no matter the scale of their needs. Brandy chimed in about the myriad opportunities available at Laurel Ridge, from virtual information sessions to advisory committees that keep the college's curriculum aligned with real-world needs. She emphasized the inclusive, responsive nature of the college, which thrives on community input to remain relevant and beneficial to all. The conversation wrapped up with Janet and Andy humorously discussing his prized email address— andy@laurelridge.edu —an example of his innovative and proactive approach. Brandy shared how even a simple visit to the campus could open doors to endless educational and business possibilities. In summary, the SBDC at Laurel Ridge Community College stands as a beacon of support and growth for small business owners. With its comprehensive resources, collaborative spirit, and dedicated staff, it's clear that whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or an established business seeking fresh ideas, this center could be your gateway to success.

I would very like to get a review from you. Please send a note to me. Thanks, Peter! like to much appreciate a review from you!! Thank you!Communication strategy has evolved dramatically in recent years, requiring professionals to understand not just how to craft messages, but how those messages are received by diverse audiences. Joshua Altman, Managing Director of Beltway Media in Washington DC, takes us on a fascinating journey through modern strategic communications, sharing invaluable insights from his experience working with both government agencies and private sector clients.At the heart of effective communication lies understanding what people "read, see, hear, and experience." Altman explains to host Peter Woolfolk how behavioral science principles reveal that audiences need to encounter messages 7-14 times before truly internalizing them, making strategic repetition across multiple touchpoints essential. The conversation examines how dramatically communication approaches must differ when targeting 100 key decision-makers versus 330 million Americans, illustrating the importance of tailoring strategies to specific audience parameters.Having worked as a contractor for the Department of Justice and Department of Commerce, Altman offers rare insights into the unique challenges of government communications. He describes the evolution from expensive satellite systems to modern digital platforms, highlighting how technology has democratized access while reducing costs. When working with clients starting from what they perceive as a "blank slate," Altman demonstrates how identifying and leveraging existing assets—from email lists to professional networks—can build confidence and create foundations for effective communication programs.Throughout the discussion, Altman emphasizes his role as a "fractional Chief Communications Officer" rather than simply a task vendor, integrating deeply with clients to shape perception and build trust over the long term. The conversation also explores open-source tools that can compete with expensive platforms, making sophisticated communication possible even with limited budgets. As Altman summarizes with his guiding principle: "Communicate strategically, not voluminously"—quality messaging will always triumph over sheer volume.Ready to transform your organization's communication strategy?

Swier Miedema has studied Hotel Management In Maastricht. However, he has never actively pursued a career in the hotel or restaurant industry. During his studies, he became a member of the Student Union Board, responsible for funding all kinds of activities and doing Public Relations. That raised his interest in marketing, so he pursued that field after his studies. Swier built up a sales and marketing career and ended up a few years later in management consultancy in change management. In 1999, he was hit by a car while doing his Sunday run. It took him five years to recover from that. Afterward, he was grateful that it happened to him, as it profoundly changed his view on how to deal with change management and how to focus on people for change. Swier built up a second career as a managing consultant in the change management field, and in 2012, he chose to start for himself, as he was unsatisfied with how change management was dealt with in the business community.Swier ran into the principles in 2018, and it hit him like a freight train. Here, he found a consistent and practical approach to people change that had the potential to be a lasting solution. After two years into the principles, his head went quiet. For some reason, Swier had taught himself to no longer believe what his brain told him and to be in the now as much as possible. Many of Swier's earlier mental issues fell off, although he still is as human as can be. It means that he is not in a constant state of bliss, but he has learned that keeping an open mind and perspective on life is essential. Swier has been a registered practitioner since 2020, and he loves to help people progress in this understanding. He is writing a book called: “Being Resilient,” which he hopes to publish later in 2025.Swier is very interested in advancing principles in the business community. He has developed an alternative approach to integrating 3P and leadership and helping people move forward, as he feels that many traditional approaches miss the point.Dr. Kimberley LinertSpeaker, Author, Broadcaster, Mentor, Trainer, Behavioral OptometristEvent Planners- I am available to speak at your event.

Since its inception in 2017 as a solo venture, the firm has grown into a dynamic team of five women. Initially focused on traditional media, BC Public Relations has diversified into digital platforms such as podcasts and YouTube. Cohen shares insights on the power of storytelling in marketing, navigating the challenges of team management, and fostering strong client relationships. She also discusses self-funding her business, leveraging AI in PR, and the transformative value of mentorship and professional development. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Barrie said the hardest thing is that we often focus too much on what we're not doing well and forget to celebrate the wins. She stressed it's easy to feel like we're constantly screwing up instead of recognizing the many little victories that come with growing a business. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Barrie's favorite is “The Business of Persuasion” by Harold Burson, a pioneer in public relations. It's somewhat niche to her industry (PR), but she finds it offers great lessons on how the field started and evolved. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? She recommends The PR Podcast (specific to PR), and also listens to Mel Robbins for personal growth. Beyond that, she values reading widely and networking to learn from peers. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Barrie recommended media databases (like Cision, Muck Rack, Meltwater). While these are mainly for PR, she highlighted how powerful the right tools can be to connect with audiences and tell your story effectively. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Her advice for day one in business is to keep pushing forward.

I would very like to get a review from you. Please send a note to me. Thanks, Peter! like to much appreciate a review from you!! Thank you!Have you ever wondered why so many marketing research tools fail to capture what customers truly want? James Warren, CEO and founder of Share More Stories, talking with host Peter Woolfolk, has dedicated his career to solving this problem through an innovative approach that combines storytelling with artificial intelligence to reveal the "why" behind customer and employee behavior.Warren introduces us to the SEEQ platform (Stories to Engage, Explore and Question), which takes a fundamentally different approach from traditional surveys and focus groups. While conventional research tools excel at identifying who, what, when, and where, they often miss the crucial question of why people make the decisions they do. By inviting participants to share personal stories rather than just answer predetermined questions, SEEQ creates a safe space for authentic expression that yields remarkably rich insights.What makes this methodology particularly powerful is how it transforms qualitative experiences into measurable emotional data. The platform analyzes 55 different emotions, needs, values, and attitudes to create an "emotional map" that helps organizations understand not just what people experienced, but why it mattered and how it made them feel. For communications professionals, this represents invaluable intelligence for crafting messages that genuinely resonate.Warren shares compelling success stories, including how Virginia Tourism Corporation used story-based insights to reimagine their approach to reaching Black travelers. By deeply understanding these travelers' experiences and then creating a campaign that authentically reflected those stories, they achieved remarkable results, increasing Black tourism to Virginia while earning industry recognition.The interview highlights what's missing in most corporate communications today: authentic voice. Too often, PR messages are developed from the company's perspective rather than centering the voices of customers or employees. By incorporating authentic stories and emotional insights into communications strategy, brands can dramatically shorten the distance between message and audience, creating that elusive "ring of truth" that drives engagement and loyalty.

Eitan is the curator that created the exhibit on October 7th at the Museum, and he has taken world leaders and ambassadors through this exhibit. Eitan discusses with Steven in detail about the dangers of the Muslim Brotherhood and  elucidates on how the  October 7th attack was planned. Eitan and his team uncovered notes found on the bodies of Hamas terrorists. They created a collection of these notes and translated them. He explains that Hamas gave their officers the title of Sheikhs so that they have the authority to give fatwahs (ordinances) that certain acts that are typically impermissible in Islam are permissible, such as killing women and babies. Eitan also explains that many of the terrorists had a list of Hebrew phrases and words for the operation, including “take off your pants,” which they needed to know how to say in order to rape the women they found on the kibbutzim. They also uncovered documents that elucidate the extent to UNRWA'S involvement in the attack, and on the educational material they provide to Gaza's and Arab villagers which all teach how they are victims of Israeli oppression and must hate Jews. There's a phenomena that was uncovered about the October 7th massacre that is entirely unique, which is that Hamas attempted to eliminate, and in many cases successfully, entire families in one shot, sometimes tying together a married couple with their children and torturing and killing them. Eitan has also consulted with and was given evidence by forensics teams that were onsite following the 10.7 massacre, but didn't go into detail about what the examiners describe and found on the sites. Eitan has also spoken with many survivors of the massacre, and he explains the unimaginable PTSD that they are experiencing.   Eitan closes by stating that the Islam of Hamas, which was distorted and changed in disturbing ways, does not represent the whole of Islam.Donate NOW at FIDF.org for the fastest and most direct way to give IDF Soldiers what they need most. 100% of your contribution will go to meet their emergency humanitarian needs.

This isn't about pretending life is perfect. It's about learning how to create moments of magic, even in the middle of the mess.If we're not intentional about creating joy in our everyday lives, burnout isn't just possible... it's inevitable. Because here's the truth: hustle without harmony leads to resentment, exhaustion, and questioning why you even started in the first place.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something we don't talk about enough: the power of romanticizing your own life. Not as some indulgent luxury reserved for vacations or weekends, but as an absolutely essential strategy for sustaining your energy, your creativity, and your capacity to lead.. . .

Courses based on doctrine with some social science mixed in Eternal principles and daily principles taught (money, sexuality etc) 5:50 We don't have to convince BYU students that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints values families, but they don't often know why. 8:30 D&C 131 and 132: The Degrees of Glory and importance of eternal families 10:40 The Family: A Proclamation to the World. Quotes document. 11:40 President Oaks Quote: “Our theology begins with Heavenly Parents. Our greatest aspiration is to be like them.” “The purpose of mortal like and the mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is to prepare the sons and daughters of God for their eternal destiny- to become like our Heavenly Parents.” 13:35 Divine Identity and Divine Destiny… as children of God 15:45 Mother in Heaven: foundational doctrine 16:35 When speaking to single adults after the foundation has been laid, what do you say next? …Well someday?!? NO! Acknowledge their pain and the issues they face. 17:45 Neil L. Anderson quote: “We will continue to teach the Lord's pattern for families, but now with millions of members and the diversity among those in the church we need to be more thoughtful and sensitive. Our church culture and vernacular are sometimes quite unique. The Primary children are not going to stop singing 'Families can be Together Forever' but when they sing 'I'm so happy when Daddy comes home' or 'With father and mother leading the way…', not all children will be singing about their family.” 20:50 What do we need to know now, to feel joy now? Four overarching principles: No one denied any promised blessing because of something outside of their control YOU are included in the plan of salvation, and because of that inclusion there is hope. Heavenly Father will not abrogate agency. God loves us with a perfect love and will do anything in his power to exalt us. Through the grace of Christ, Heavenly Father can provide solutions to those things outside our control (24:51) 26:04 Quote President Kimball: “We promise you that in as far as eternity is concerned, NO soul will be deprived of rich and high and eternal blessings for anything which they could not help. That the Lord never fails in his promises. Every righteous person will eventually receive ALL to which they are entitled and have not forfeited through any fault of their own.” 28:15 Stay covenant-connected. 28:30 Quote President Nelson: Through no failing of their own “they” deal with the trails of life alone. May we all be reminded that in the Lord's own way and time no blessing will be withheld from his faithful saints. The Lords will judge and reward each individual according to their heartfelt desires as well as deeds.”
