Mike "C-Roc" welcomes Rafie Faruq, a dynamic entrepreneur with expertise in AI, technology, philosophy, and mindfulness. Rafie shares his unique journey, from studying philosophy and economics with a focus on ethics to earning a degree in machine learning, where he was taught by Google DeepMind and wrote his thesis on generative AI long before its mainstream explosion. Beyond his technical expertise, Rafie is also a meditation and yoga teacher, emphasizing the importance of balancing rapid technological advancements with inner peace and self-awareness.Mike "C-Roc" and Rafie dive deep into the concept of going internal—not getting lost in overthinking but truly tapping into one's core purpose. They discuss the fast-paced world of information, the fear many have about the future, and how shifting focus from external chaos to internal clarity can lead to greater fulfillment and success. Rafie challenges the common notion of "mindfulness," arguing that true growth comes from emptying the mind rather than filling it with more information. The conversation also touches on productivity, decision-making, and how embracing emotions while maintaining Stoic principles can lead to a more balanced life.Rafie also shares his personal background, growing up in the UK with Bangladeshi roots, and how his rebellious nature shaped his journey. Rafie and Mike 'C-Roc" resonate with the idea that true success often comes from pushing against the grain, ignoring the naysayers, and staying committed to a vision despite external doubts. This insightful and thought-provoking discussion explores the intersection of technology, philosophy, and personal growth, making for a must-listen episode.Website-www.genieai.co Social Media Links/Handles-https://www.instagram.com/rafiefaruq/?hl=https://www.linkedin.com/in/rfaruq/

Kian Rafie is a junior lawyer who got the dream start to his career that he'd always wanted, when a mental health crisis threatened to completely derail it... Renowned for being a cut-throat, high pressure industry with little room for error and lofty expectations, the legal profession has been known to chew up new graduates and spit them out.  Kian was confronted by an office culture and various unexpected challenges that sent him into a tailspin, with his mental state spiraling out of control. Thankfully, Kian's in a much better space now, still pursuing his dream of being the best lawyer he can be.  It's taken a lot of soul searching, therapy and self-awareness to get to where he is - becoming a man worthy of his own love.

As a junior practitioner who has suffered debilitating mental health struggles, Kian Rafie is determined to see the legal profession get better at talking openly about our individual experiences. Talking, he says, can make all the difference. (Content warning: This episode contains content that may be disturbing or distressing to some listeners. Discretion is advised.) On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Piper Alderman lawyer Kian Rafie about the importance of having more frequent conversations about mental health struggles for lawyers, his motivation to be a lawyer, and his journey with and through anxiety, depression and suicide ideation as a junior practitioner. Mr Rafie also reflects on where he is now relative to years gone by, the support he has received from legal professionals, why talking is so important, overcoming the bravado that exists among Australian men, balancing the need to protect one's self in a still-traditional sector versus addressing one's struggles, practical steps that have helped him get better, and other words of wisdom based on his experience for those coming through the ranks.

When Rafi Mizrahi was fired from his full-time IT job due to the crisis in Israel, he took inspiration from the famous book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, burned all his bridges, and launched himself into the world of real estate investing. After two years of buying properties in Israel, Rafi realized what incredible opportunities could be found in the USA. He educated himself on real estate investing in the USA, bought his first property here, and developed a system for buying real estate abroad.

J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules are the founders and executives of BoulderLight Pictures, a horror-centric production house in Los Angeles. Under BoulderLight, JD & Rafi have put out over 15 movies including: Becky, Pledge, Contracted, Dementia and most recently, The Vigil. When asked who the next Blumhouse will be, Jason Blum, without question, said BoulderLight pictures. Between their shrewd emphasis on economics, eye for bold talent, and recently launched international sales arm, JD and Rafi are a force to be reckoned with - and it seems like they are just getting started. In this interview, we talked about their filmography, the launch of BoulderLight, and strategies for aspiring producers, on this very special episode of The Nick Taylor Horror Show. Now without further ado here are JD Lifshits and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with JD and Raphael.   Your movies must have urgency. You know that feeling when you hear about a project, or see a trailer, or read an announcement for a movie and you cannot fucking wait to see it? You ever find yourself actually wishing that they announced the project closer to the release date because of the pain of having to wait for it? Those are the kinds of projects you need to make! Nowadays, with the ubiquity of streaming, audiences have an infinite cinema library at their fingertips, they need to not only know about your project but they have to be extremely excited about it and dying for it to be released. As JD and Rafie mentioned, the way to do this is to create things people haven't seen before - a compelling hook, a completely different take on a reliable trope, anything that hooks the audience. If your movie feels cliche and part of a sea of sameness, you may get a decent review, or the attention of a few odd audience members who stumble upon it while looking for something to watch on Saturday night, which is fine. But the real name of the game is for your project to be so compelling and exciting, that people are counting down the days for it release. A natural extension of this rule is present in the next point.   If you're not in love with it, it probably wont work. It's a cliche at this point, but to make movies, you really have to love it. Making films is extremely difficult in every single stage, and one of the only ways to get through the difficulties associated with filmmaking is to absolutely love it. This is also necessary because the audience will always be able to sense your passion in the film itself. You can feel the excitement and sheer glee of filmmaking with directors like Spielberg, Tarantino, Sofia Coppola, and PT Anderson. That's because these people are in love with their movies, and this passion is completely infectious to audience members. If you're taking on a project as a career stepping stone or a way to make a quick buck, in all likelihood the energy of the movie is going to be flat and so will its ratings. Plus, to get your movie greenlit, Producers need to see your enthusiasm for the project in order to invest in you, because they know that the going will get rough two weeks into production, and you need the kind of heart for the project that will enable you to push through. There are plenty exceptions to this rule, but as Quentin Tarantino says, "if you really really love movies with all of your heart, then you can't help but make a great movie." Passion has to be alive in every frame of your movie and if you do this right, in all likelihood, audiences will be passionate about your movies too. Ask for advice, not favors. This is a big piece of advice that JD realized at a young age when he reached out to Eli Roth on MySpace and got an answer back the same day. JD asked Eli for advice and as a result, Eli became his mentor and tremendously helped guide him through the ups and downs of Hollywood. Having someone like this in your life is priceless. Everybody needs a Yoda, so think about finding yours. The best way to do this, is to ask people for advice, not favors. Go and get yourself an IMDB pro account for $20 a month, and send an email asking for a very specific piece of advice that wont take any more than ten minutes to respond to, but make sure it's something unique and not something they've addressed in a previous interview. What you do not want to do is ask them to read your screenplay, listen to your pitch, or make an introduction to someone who can help you get your movie made. Any mentor worth their salt gets bombarded with pitches all day long. Instead, ask for short but sweet pieces of advice, then take their advice and let them know what happens, and begin a correspondence.   Nothing matters in this business, move on. As we've discussed extensively, Hollywood is a very tough place with a lot of tough people. Everyone struggles, gets yelled, at rejected, insulted, lied to, or treated unjustly sooner or later. JD talked about getting aggressively yelled at all the time by executives and just shrugging it off and pushing forward because none of it really matters. As he said, don't be afraid to get a little coffee thrown in your face. And he's absolutely right. Hollywood is a walled garden, and frankly a self-filtering ecosystem, so there will be an equal amount of people who will test your mettle and people who are downright rude assholes. Who cares, take the blows and move on. Don't let it discourage you, deject you, or slow you down in any way. Real abuse, of course, should not be tolerated, but get used to being knocked around a lot so you can develop a thick skin, because without it, you wont make it for two minutes in this town.   ----- Produced by Simpler Media

Dziś chciałbym omówić książkę Agathy Christie pt. “Dom zbrodni”. Mam do tej autorki wielki sentyment. Dzięki niej powstała firma, w której teraz pracuję. Jest to dość ciekawa historia, więc pozwólcie, że od niej rozpocznę.Fred A. Thorpe miał taką bibliotekę na kółkach. Ludzie nie musieli chodzić do biblioteki, ale ona przyjeżdżała do nich. Zajmował się tym jeszcze przed II wojną światową. Później miał przerwę w pracy bo walczył w RAFie. Wracając do tej biblioteki. Niektóre starsze osoby, które chciały czytać nie mogły z powodu słabego wzroku. Fred wpadł więc na pomysł i zamiast iść na emeryturę stworzył firmę: Ulverscroft Large Print Books Limited. Po polsku tą nazwę można by przetłumaczyć jako: Ulverscroft Książki Dużym Drukiem. Postanowił drukować normalne książki dla dorosłych, ale z wielkimi literami. Niestety żaden z wydawców nie chciał mu dać praw autorskich. Gdy tak chodził od wydawcy do wydawcy u jednego z nich spotkał Agathę Christie. Gdy usłyszała o tym pomyśle od razu się zgodziła i dała prawa do wydania dużym drukiem wszystkich swoich książek. Właśnie dzięki niej istnieje firma, w której dziś pracuję. Pierwszą wydaną książką była powieść “Kieszeń pełna żyta” Agathy Christie.Przejdźmy jednak do książki “Dom zbrodni”. Jest to książka wydana już po II wojnie światowej. Christie napisała “Dom zbrodni” w 1949 roku. Angielski tytuł to “Crooked House”, co można by przetłumaczyć jako “Krzywy domek”. Angielski tytuł ma większy sens, bo narrator często określa budynek, w którym dzieje się akcja jako krzywy dom. Nie będę opowiadał fabuły tak więc możecie słuchać bez strachu.Głównym narratorem jest Charles Hayward. Młody człowiek, który podczas wojny poznał Sophię Leonides. Zakochali się, ale jak to wygląda w angielskich romansach pełnych powściągliwości odłożyli zaręczyny i inne plany na parę lat. Teraz Charles przybywa do Londynu i oczywiście chce się spotkać z Sophią. Pech chciał, że akurat senior rodu Arystydes Leonides umiera. Sporo faktów wskazuje na to, że było to morderstwo. Ojcem Charlesa jest nadinspektor, który wysyła na miejsce policjantów oraz swojego syna. Tak więc widzimy przesłuchania, rozmowy z mieszkańcami domu i ogólnie całą akcję książki oczami zakochanego narratora. Ma on oczywiście osobisty powód aby znaleźć mordercę. Chce udowodnić, że to nie była jego wybranka Sophia. Rodzina składa się z dwóch synów. Obaj są około pięćdziesiątki. Mają żony, a jeden z nich także dzieci. Sophia jest najstarszą córką jednego z nich, a wnuczką zmarłego seniora rodu.Na podstawie tej książki został zrobiony film z 2019 roku zatytułowany “Na noże”, po angielsku “Knives Out”. Nie jest to wierna ekranizacja. Zmieniono np. miejsce z Anglii na USA. W książce zmarły senior rodu jest greckim imigrantem, który zarabiał w biznesie gastronomicznym. Wyszukiwał dziury w prawie i wykorzystywał je aby się bogacić. Książka więc rzuca trochę nieciekawe światło na imigrantów. Za to w filmie jest dokładnie na odwrót. Cała rodzina to bogaci biali amerykanie. Seniorem rodu zajmuje się młoda imigrantka z Brazylii, której matka jest w USA nielegalnie. W książce czytamy więc o greckim imigrancie, który działa na granicy oszustwa i wykorzystuje praworządnych Brytyjczyków aby się bogacić. W filmie z kolei to bogaci biali Amerykanie wypowiadają się z niechęcią o nielegalnych imigrantach, a młoda Brazylijka to wcielony anioł.Moim zdaniem książka jest o wiele ciekawsza. Wprawdzie na początku się trochę ciągnie, ale później dość szybko rośnie napięcie i tak jest aż do końca. Na początku książki jest wstęp od autorki, w którym opowiada ona, że jest to jedna z jej ulubionych książek. W powieści oprócz historii kryminalnej jest trochę śmiesznych wątków. Np. najmłodsza wnuczka chyba coś widziała, a jest zafascynowana biblijną historią o tym jak psy pożarły złą królową Jezebel. Główny bohater próbuje ją przekupić. W innym miejscu bohaterowie rozmawiają z nianią, która wyjawia swoich podejrzanych. Są to komuniści albo katolicy.Podsumowując. To jest jedna z lepszych powieści Agathy Christie. Książkę polecam. Co do filmu to jest on taki sobie. Typowy film Rian Johnson, czyli reżysera, który nakręcił najgorszy film Star Wars. W filmie “Na noże” dodano więcej sensacji, odwrócono wątek imigracyjny, pozmieniano trochę bohaterów, ale główna część fabuły jest bardzo podobna czy wręcz momentami taka sama. Jednak historia z książki miała prawo się wydarzyć, jest prawdopodobna. Podczas gdy historia z filmu jest przekomplikowana i na dłuższą metę nużąca. Męczący jest też wątek imigrantów. U Christie został on wspomniany. Później jest to historia angielskich wyższych sfer. Z kolei w filmie Johnsona los nielegalnych imigrantów wciąż powraca, a biali ludzi są wyłącznie źli, ksenofobiczni, snobistyczni. Film jest do obejrzenia na raz, a potem można go zapomnieć. Gdy czytałem książkę coś mi świtało w głowie, że podobna fabuła była w tym filmie. Wszystko jednak zapomniałem i musiałem film obejrzeć jeszcze raz.W filmie detektywa gra Daniel Craig, a brazylijską opiekunkę Ana de Armas. Co ciekawe oboje grają też w najnowszym Bondzie, który ma się ukazać w 2021 pod tytułem “Nie czas umierać”. Ci i inni aktorzy grają świetnie. Po prostu historia filmowa jest przekombinowana i niezapadająca w pamięć. Ale obiecałem, że już kończę. Napiszcie mi co wy myślicie o książce oraz o filmie.

ABOUT BIRTH CONTROL PHARMACIST Sally Rafie, PharmD, BCPS, APH, NCMP, FCCP FOUNDER AND EXPERT The role of pharmacists in delivering contraceptive care is exploding! Most pharmacists who will be providing contraceptive services are not experts in the field of family planning nor are they expected to be.  As pharmacists specializing in family planning, we are here to support our colleagues in providing competent and evidence-based contraceptive care.  The Birth Control Pharmacist project provides education and training, implementation assistance, resources, and clinical updates to pharmacists prescribing contraception, as well as engaging in advocacy, research and policy efforts to expand the role of pharmacists in family planning. We also maintain the Birth Control Pharmacies site and directory for people across the country to find a participating pharmacy where they can obtain contraception directly from a pharmacist. We hope pharmacists and pharmacy students will find the Birth Control Pharmacist’s content useful.  We look forward to your comments, suggestions, and questions! https://birthcontrolpharmacist.com/about/  Website https://birthcontrolpharmacist.com/ Facebook @birthcontrolpharmacist (https://fb.me/birthcontrolpharmacist) Instagram @birthcontrolpharmacist (https://www.instagram.com/birthcontrolpharmacist) LinkedIn https://LinkedIn.com/company/burthcontrolpharm  Twitter @SallyRafie

This Swedish Egyptian has transferred from pro snowboarder to full-time “soul boarder”. Life after professional snowboarding is a difficult road for most, you seem to lose not only your identity but your beloved travel budget. It’s time to join the 5-9 world? For some yes, but not for Kareem. He found away to juggle work and play by starting a successful food truck business Laolita and soon to be restaurant. This allows him to take the winters off and enjoy boarding, with no outside pressures from brands. Kareem’s first sponsor was Forum Snowboards and that presented an opportunity of a lifetime to film for the iconic Forum movie - THAT (2006) where he shared a part with now close friend Stevie Bell. A few seasons later Kareem found himself in the middle of Forum’s big switch over, new ownership, new team managers and somehow got lost in the mix. Kareem had a string of annoying mishaps throughout his career but the guy never seemed worried. He has been involved in countless videos from Video Grass, Factor Films, Dope Industries, Blue Tomato, Helgason's and many many more. Mark Frank Montoya even handpicked Kareem to be apart of his outerwear company SOUND. The guy has always focused his time and energy on what feels right and what looks dope to him, in his own words “soul boarding” a term used by Kareem when someone is doing a trick that expresses their own unique vision of how that trick should be done with no expected outcome but filling ones soul. That vision of “soul boarding” lead him to start one of Europe’s biggest rail jams - The Frontline rail jam named after his clothing company in which he wanted to get the community together to have a more fun and style focused contest showcasing that simple tricks can place you at the top when right. His event/ clothing company have helped shine spotlights on the careers of e-man, halldor helgason, eiki helgason, felix remington, kevin griffin the list goes on, even myself. Kareem has so many amazing stories, excited to share this one. Much love everyone
