On today's episode, I talk to journalist and writer David J. Roth. Raised in Ridgewood, New Jersey, David started out his writing career writing and editing content for the backs of Topps trading cards. This led to writing for The Wall Street Journal's sports blog, co-founding and editing his own sports blog The Classical, and contributing to Vice and The Baffler, as well as many other publications. In 2017, David became an editor-at-large at Deadspin, and two years later, he and the entire writing and editorial staff resigned, protesting major editorial interference from the private equity holding company that had bought the publication. The following year, David and a number of the other former Deadspin writers formed Defector Media, one of the exciting new worker-owned journalism companies, and in the last five years, it has become one of the most well-regarded sites online. In addition to all of this, David also hosts the wonderful Defector podcast The Distraction. This is the website for Beginnings, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, follow me on Twitter.

Owen sits down with Ben Milgate, a carpenter of 18 years who has successfully transitioned into running his own building company, recently acquiring his builder's license. Ben shares his journey from being a "glorified carpenter" focused on weekly pay to becoming a business owner with a holistic view of annual profitability and systems. They discuss the critical mindset shift required, the importance of truly understanding business numbers (like operating costs vs. margins) , and how implementing specific tools like a WOW pack and project plan doubled his conversion rate almost overnight (from 20% to 40%). Ben also details his expensive lesson learned from not having a robust variation process and how he's strategically using marketing to transition into higher-end architectural builds under his new brand, Arc.

Fine is a 4-Letter Word is all about those moments when “fine” is just the mask we wear before life gives us a loud wake-up call.For Massimo Backus, that wake-up call came wrapped in a leadership 360 evaluation that painted a picture he didn't recognize. The team he thought he was inspiring and supporting saw someone defensive, unsafe to approach, even a bully. Gut punch, right?Raised by creative, supportive parents who met in a woodworking class over a three-legged chair, Massimo learned the values of creativity, acceptance, and generosity that would later guide his unconventional career path. He also carried the invisible weight of childhood dyslexia and a lifelong habit of needing to prove himself. That pattern followed him into adulthood and eventually showed up in how he led others. His relentless pursuit of purpose-driven work eventually led him to a prestigious position as global head of leadership development for a large international consulting firm, where he thought he had finally “made it.” However, that 360-degree feedback assessment came as an unexpected wake-up call.Massimo first tried to “fix” himself on his own. It wasn't until he surrendered control and attended the Hoffman Process, a weeklong retreat, that he uncovered the real saboteur: his own inner critic.Through self-compassion, Massimo finally found the power to stop performing and start being. Listen as we unpack his journey from overactive inner critic to radical freedom.Massimo's hype song is Dance Yrself Clean by LCD Sound SystemResources:InKind Leaders Website: https://www.inkindleaders.com/Massimo's Personal Website: https://massimobackus.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/massimo-backus/Claim your copy of: “Human First, Leader Second” bookInvitation from Lori: This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit. Smart business leaders know trust is the foundation of every great workplace. And in today's hybrid and fast-moving work culture, trust isn't built in quarterly town halls or the occasional Slack message. It's built through consistent, clear, and HUMAN communication. Companies and leaders TALK about the importance of connection and community. And it's easy to believe your organization is doing a great job of maintaining an awesome corporate culture. Because you've got annual all-hands meeting and open door policies, and “fun" team-building events.But let's be real. Leaders who are serious about building real trust are finding better ways to strengthen culture, create connection, and foster community.That's where I come in. Forward thinking companies are hiring me to produce internal podcasts. To bring leadership and employees together through authentic stories, real conversations, and meaningful connections. Think of it as your old-school printed company newsletter - reinvented for the modern workforce. I KNOW, what a cool idea, right?! If you run, work for, or know of a company that wants to upgrade communication, facilitate connections, build community, and maintain culture, let's chat. Message me at Lori@ZenRabbit dot com. Because when people feel heard, they engage. When they engage, they perform. And when they perform, the business succeeds beyond projections.

In the blistered ruins of a world that has forgotten mercy, one man's defiance becomes a spark in the kingdom of the damned. Across the desert wastes of Zimitra, faith is measured in blood, and the gods wear the faces of their victims. When a fallen assassin awakens beneath the knife of his captors, he is offered a single, unholy bargain—freedom, in exchange for a sin greater than any he has yet committed. From the mind of Hank Belbin comes a brutal, myth-soaked tale of vengeance and survival in a world where flesh is currency, faith is slavery, and salvation may be the cruelest illusion of all.

What happens when you mix psychedelics with some of the most fearsome waves on Earth? What does it take to stay curious, joyful, and deeply alive—well into your 70s?In this wide spanning conversation, legendary surfer Jock Sutherland joins Ageless Athlete to talk about the radical experiences, deep values, and spiritual practices that shaped his life—from surfing Pipeline in the 1960s to climbing mango trees and sharing fruit with neighbors at 77.Raised off-grid on Oʻahu, Jock came of age paddling rivers, spearfishing, and spending summers with the “Hermit of Kalalau.” His mother, Audrey Sutherland—a pioneering solo paddler—raised him on a handwritten list of survival skills that included everything from “save someone drowning with available equipment” to “dance with any age.”Jock opens up about:His early experiments with LSD, and why surfing while high never replaced the clarity of presenceWhy he left surfing at the height of his fame to join the ArmyThe life lessons he learned from injury, reinvention, and working as a roofer for over 50 yearsHow community, fruit bartering, and stretching classes help him age wellAnd what it means to stay in love with movement, the ocean, and learning—at any ageThis is a conversation about psychedelics, surfing, reinvention, and awe—but more than anything, it's about how to live with wonder, even as the decades pass.

What if the process of healing and personal growth worked the same way nature transforms compost—slowly, organically, and in cycles? This week on The Robyn Ivy Podcast, I'm joined by Jayne Merner, second-generation steward of Earth Care Farm, to talk about composting—but not just in the way you might expect. Yes, we talk about the real, soil-based kind (with plenty of practical tips for starting your own), but we also explore composting as a metaphor for transformation, healing, and what it means to tend to both land and legacy with care. Jayne brings deep wisdom about what the natural world can teach us—about grief, rebirth, family, and creating something new from what's been left behind. Her life on the farm is rich with lessons on sustainability, community, and why even what we want to discard can hold the seeds of growth. This conversation is down-to-earth in all the best ways—and it reminded me how powerful it is to stay rooted in rhythm, gratitude, and connection to the cycles around (and within) us. Your 3 Key Takeaways 1. Composting shows us how change works Whether it's organic matter or a chapter of your life, what feels like an ending might actually be the beginning of nourishment for what's next. 2. Nature heals us when we let it Even small acts—stepping outside, breathing fresh air, or tending to a plant—can restore presence, calm, and a deeper sense of belonging. 3. You don't have to do it all to make a difference Starting small with something like composting food scraps or sharing your gratitude shifts more than you think. Tiny choices matter—inside and out. If this episode speaks to something stirring in you, and you're ready to grow into your next season with more clarity and care, let's talk.

EPISODE 616 - Michael Conte - Route 80 is an honest journey through family, identity, and the cost of loyaltyMichael was raised in Queens, caught between the disciplined life his mother offered and the legacy of his father—a man whose world revolved around loyalty, respect, and danger. From lavish weddings that erupt into brawls to road trips that end behind prison walls, Michael's story unfolds in sharp, cinematic flashes—equal parts grit, glamour, humor, and heartbreak.When his father is found dead in a prison cell, a final road trip to claim the body becomes more than a farewell—it's a reckoning. Memories flood in, forcing Michael to confront the pull of the past and the choices that shaped him.​Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by.And that has made all the differenceRaw, fast-paced, and laced with dark humor, Route 80 is an honest journey through family, identity, and the cost of loyalty. It's a story about breaking cycles, choosing your own path and realizing that some roads, once taken, change you forever.Buckle up. This ride doesn't come with brakes.Book: Route 80 by Michael Conte is an action-packed ride that takes readers on a journey through the high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled world of a young man torn between two destinies—one of honor and stability, the other of power and peril.Raised in Queens, Michael straddles two vastly different paths: his mother's unwavering moral compass and his father's intoxicating life, where loyalty is everything and danger lurks behind every handshake. From a picture-perfect Italian wedding that spirals into a parking lot brawl to familiar road trips to prison, the story unravels in a series of cinematic moments—glamour, violence, humor, and heartbreak.The real turning point comes when a single phone call shatters his world. His father, imprisoned for years, is found dead in his cell. As Michael embarks on one final journey to claim his body, memories of a life spent teetering between two worlds come rushing back. Through razor-sharp storytelling, raw emotion, and true Italian flair, Route 80 explores the cost of loyalty, the weight of legacy, and the road not taken.This is a story of survival, of choosing one's own fate, and of breaking free from the gravitational pull of the past.

There have been fire safety concerns raised at more than 50 asylum centres according to a review by the Irish Times. Pat discusses this further with Ellen Coyne Political Correspondent.

"Everything about our waking being is affected by the food we eat. And it's not just where your food comes from, but the ingredients…with integrity. Who is putting their love and passion into a crop? Who is not taking the shortcuts? How are individual ingredients… affecting our overall mood, physicality, all those things. All this is coming to light now— this is not pseudoscience anymore." —Jennifer Waxman Every meal shapes more than our day—it shapes our health, our habits, and even our outlook. The world talks about superfoods and supplements, but the real power is digging into what grows close to home.

In July 1545, King Henry VIII watched from Southsea Castle on England's south coast as his fleet sailed out to face the French - only to witness his prized warship, the Mary Rose, sink before his eyes. Raised from the Solent in 1982, the ship is now the centrepiece of the Mary Rose Museum, along with thousands more artefacts that were recovered from the seabed. But keeping the 500-year-old ship and its associated Tudor relics in good condition is no small task, which is where Dr Eleanor Schofield comes in. As Director of Collections at the Mary Rose Trust and a materials engineer by training, Eleanor has spent years tackling the unique scientific challenges of conserving centuries-old wood and metal. From the United States to Portsmouth, Eleanor's research is helping ensure this iconic vessel remains 'ship-shape' for generations to come. In a special edition of The Life Scientific, recorded in front of an audience at the museum in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyards, Professor Jim Al-Khalili discovers how cutting-edge science is keeping history afloat.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy Taylor for BBC Studios

In this heartfelt Ask Me Anything, Rabbi Bernath responds to someone from the Kabbalah for Everyone Community, a lifelong Reform Jew who asks a question many have quietly carried: “Am I less of a Jew because I was raised Reform?”Rabbi Bernath explores how Jewish identity transcends denominational labels. Drawing on teachings from Tanya and Rashi, he reminds us that every Jewish soul is a piece of G-d, unbreakable and equally precious.This conversation becomes more than an answer, it's an invitation to rediscover who we are beneath the labels. It's a love letter to every Jew who has ever wondered if they still belong.Takeaways:There are no “levels” of Jewishness. Every Jew, regardless of affiliation or observance carries the same Divine spark.Denominations are man-made; the soul is G-d-made. Labels were meant to organize ideas, not divide hearts.Jewish identity is a relationship, not a category. Wherever you learn, pray, or grow, your connection to G-d is real and alive.Belonging is not earned — it's inherited.

Send us a textHere's the story of an SGV native building community through coffee. Raised in Covina and West Covina and now rooted in Pasadena, Melissa Spolar blends events, marketing, nonprofit work, and café culture to connect neighbors and small businesses. She created the Pasadena Coffee Passport to spotlight the city's specialty shops and invite locals and visitors to explore together.Her community-building chops were sharpened inside social enterprise coffee, where she helped operationalize youth workforce programs and day-to-day café impact in Pasadena. That experience informs how she curates shops, designs activations, and measures what actually moves the needle for small businesses.Looking ahead, she's developing the Highland Park Coffee Passport and laying the groundwork for Nightcap Collective, a neighborhood social club meant to spark face-to-face connection after hours. The goal is simple: create intentional spaces—day and night—where people can meet, talk, and support local spots.In this episode, we dig into how a simple idea—stamp your way through local cafés—became a platform for small-business discovery, creator collaborations, and neighborhood pride. We cover partner selection, passport mechanics, shop economics, and how coffee culture can anchor inclusive community spaces across the San Gabriel Valley and Northeast LA.

Before she became one of the most influential women in the world, Oprah Winfrey was a lonely child beaten so severely she had bleeding welts on her back, then punished again for staining her dress with blood. Raised in extreme poverty and neglect, she could have easily become another statistic. Instead, she discovered something powerful at age three that changed everything: the validation that came from reciting Bible verses. In this episode, we trace how Oprah transformed her deepest wounds into her greatest strengths, using years of feeling unwanted to build the empathy that would connect her to millions. Learn why she credits living in poverty as the foundation of her success and how the very adversity that could have destroyed her became the bedrock of her empire.

We kick things off in true us fashion: chatting about the seasons changing, a brief (and unnecessary) detour into rigor mortis, Bradshaw trying to order Uber Eats mid-record, and Giana casually moving the recording time to close a sale. There's even an off-hand joke about sharing a boyfriend and a debate about whether straddle pressing actually counts as pressing (it does- justice for straddle pressers).And just a heads-up: if you're here for the actual episode, it begins around minute 16. We believe in a proper warm-up.Once we finally settle in, we dive into therapy, identity, and unlearning the roles we grew up with. As two middle kids who landed on opposite ends of the personality spectrum- one a performing tornado of energy, the other a perfectionist who once tried to have no needs. We talk about how we're now, hilariously, trying to learn each other's strengths in adulthood.Giana's finding her voice and escaping decision-fatigue prison; Bradshaw's learning to not always be “on” and to let other parts of himself shine. We explore the difference between anxiety and intuition, how to feel into your body for clarity, and what inner safety and reparenting really look like.There are laughs, lightly unhinged tangents, a headstand-gone-wrong story, and even a brief wish that brick-laying had been the career path. Through it all, the thread is clear: we're here, growing out loud, figuring ourselves out, and finding humor and community in the messy, beautiful middle.Join us at the Castro Room, November 15th from 1-3 PM** CHECK OUT OUR 300-HOUR PROGRAM **

Raised in Los Angeles by Korean immigrant parents, Jean Park spent years chasing the markers of success her family valued, only to find herself empty in the process. When she encountered Christ, God redirected her ambitions toward the deeper work of healing and restoration. Leaving corporate America for the field of psychology, Jean discovered a calling that wove together her gifts, story, and faith into an integrated purpose rooted in generosity and grace.   Now a therapist, coach, and co-founder of the Abide Gathering, Jean helps others—especially within Asian communities—experience freedom from generational patterns that keep them striving instead of giving. Through her work, she shows how inner healing can open hearts to live generously, not from duty but from wholeness, and how alignment with God's design brings peace, clarity, and joy in stewardship.   This conversation offers clear, hope-filled guidance for those seeking to live and give from a place of healed purpose and wholehearted trust.   Major Topics Include: Gaining perspective on your purpose Letting your life story speak to your calling Discerning when to persevere and when to pivot Jean's healing journey Perspective through healing invisible wounds The gift of being triggered How generosity facilitates healing The long game of heart transformation Tips for discovering your integrated purpose QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I felt the Holy Spirit say to me, ‘You need to wake up!'” “God wastes nothing.” “Are you running from something or towards something?” “Oftentimes, our wounds are things we can't see, and we don't know how much they are hindering the flow of what God wants to do in and through us.” “If we are invited to face these wounds, I believe it's a gift from God, pointing us to things that have been keeping us stuck.” “When we heal our wounds, then we are able to freely live into the flow and the way that God has created us to live.” “The thing about heart transformation is that God is in the long game. He is not in the ‘quick behavior transformation' game, and that's the beauty and kindness of who He is.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Julie Wilson, President of Women Doing Well (see our past interview here) Let Your Life Speak by Parker Palmer Secure Coaching Abide Gathering Young Life Global Cities We Want More The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Matt 6:19-21 | Lay Up Treasures in Heaven   “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

Dheeraj built Nutanix into a $20B public company—then walked away to start DevRev. He just raised a $100M Series A.This episode breaks down why most founders "sell and run" (chase new logos instead of delivering value), why that strategy fails, and how Dheeraj thinks about building platforms with use cases instead of just features.

One expert has made a suggestion Netball New Zealand could be breaching employer obligations in events, including Noeline Taurua's suspension. The Silver Ferns coach is being reinstated, after being stood down in September over player concerns. She says she still doesn't know why - and and has revealed there was no investigation. Employment expert Max Whitehead says Netball New Zealand shouldn't have acted on this if it couldn't name players or complaints. "The employer has an obligation on good faith and a natural justice to provide her with a name - and what the allegations are." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Raised in piety, he worked as a stone-mason until an accident deprived him of his reason and of the power of speech. The local Turkish rulers took advantage of his condition to declare him a Muslim. For years thereafter he was employed as a shepherd until he met a monk named Cyril, who prayed fervently that he be restored to his senses. He was miraculously restored, and almost immediately was filled with the desire to repent and to live only for Christ, devoting himself to prayer, fasting and vigil. Some time later he was falsely suspected of a crime by the (Christian) people of his village, and brought before the Turkish authorities. When he was questioned, he declared 'I was born a Christian, I was brought up as a Christian, I have never denied Christ for Islam, and I never will deny Him, but will die a Christian.' For this he was brutally tortured. Many local Christians, including the village priest, feared for their own safety and urged him to deny Christ, but Nicholas only rebuked them and stood firm. After many days of torture he was finally slain by the sword. The Synaxarion tells how a thick darkness fell on the whole island of Chios. When the dismayed Turks burned the Martyr's body to be rid of this miracle, they were further dismayed when a heavenly scent rose from the flames, revealing the Saint's entry into eternal glory.

Long before it became one of the most visited websites on Earth, Wikipedia began as a radical idea from a curious boy in Huntsville, Alabama. Raised by a father who managed a grocery store and a mother and grandmother who ran a tiny, Montessori-inspired school where “each one teach one” was the guiding principle, Wales grew up surrounded by early computers, space rockets and encyclopaedias bought from door-to-door salesmen. It was there he developed both a fascination with information and a belief that learning should be open to all.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with the founder of Wikipedia to trace the unlikely journey from small-town America to one of the most visited websites on the planet. Wales recalls the early days of the internet, the chaotic birth of Wikipedia, and how a community of volunteers built something that “became part of the world's infrastructure.”It's a conversation about trust, optimism and collaboration- from a man who still believes that most people, given the chance, will choose to build something good together.Find out more about The Seven Rules of Trust: Why It Is Today's Most Essential Superpower by Jimmy Wales here
