Craig shares how studying Kabbalah and A Course in Miracles transformed his mindset and helped him operate from a higher level of consciousness. Together, we explore how faith, awareness, and tough love can unlock lasting personal growth and create a ripple effect that inspires others to do the same.

Leadership in complex times isn't about having all the answers; it's about knowing how to create the conditions for learning, trust, and growth. In this #shifthappens episode, Nate Allen, retired Army officer and co-author of Taking the Guidon, reflects on what it really takes to lead through uncertainty. From psychological safety to leadership development that spans generations, Nate unpacks lessons shaped in high-stakes environments and shows how they translate to today's business challenges. We explore how leaders can respond with intention, learn from the edges of their organization, run “safe to fail” experiments, and turn reflection into a daily habit.
In this episode, I'm kicking off a new three-part series called The Mechanics of Real Change. I'm diving deep into what I've seen over the past 30 years truly helps people get out of pain, and stay out. I share a story from a recent cycling trip in Italy that helped me see, once again, how solid biomechanics create the foundation for lasting change. You'll hear why more effort isn't always better, how pain-free movement can spark powerful mindset shifts, and why that “my pain went down” moment is one of the most critical and often overlooked parts of healing. Whether you're a practitioner or someone working through your own pain, this episode is your invitation to move with more clarity, build meaningful capacity, and stop waiting for your body to break down before you pay attention.

Have you ever counted calories before? What’s one small change you’d like to make in how you eat? Today, Jay invites geneticist and author Giles Yeo to challenge one of the most persistent beliefs in modern health culture: the idea that all calories are created equal. Giles is a professor at the University of Cambridge, specializing in the study of how genes influence appetite and body weight. He is the author of Gene Eating and Why Calories Don’t Count, both of which challenge conventional diet myths through the lens of cutting-edge science. Giles is also a science communicator and host of the podcast Dr. Giles Yeo Chews the Fat, where he breaks down complex nutritional concepts with clarity and humor. Jay begins by asking the question on everyone’s mind—do calories really count? Giles, with a calm and science-grounded approach, unpacks why the answer isn’t so simple. While calorie counting has become a cornerstone of dieting, he explains that the way our bodies extract and process calories depends heavily on the quality of the food, not just the number printed on a label. Giles shares how our genetic makeup influences hunger, satiety, and fat storage in ways that most diet plans fail to consider. Jay and Giles explore the emotional and social layers of eating, diving into how cultural conditioning, access to healthy food, and even marketing affect our food choices. They also examine why it's harder for some people to lose weight than others—not because of laziness or lack of willpower, but because their biology is wired differently. Giles challenges the shame-based narratives around body weight and reframes the discussion around health, sustainability, and self-awareness. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Eat for Quality, Not Just Calories How to Read Food Labels the Right Way How to Choose Protein, Fiber, and Sugar Wisely How to Spot Diet Myths That Don’t Serve You How to Lose Weight Without Obsessing Over Numbers How to Understand Your Body’s Unique Metabolism How to Manage Cravings with a Plan, Not Willpower You don’t need to follow a strict diet or obsess over every calorie to feel better in your body. Instead, focus on nourishing yourself with real, quality foods, making small sustainable changes, and understanding how your unique biology works.

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave SmithIn this episode of And Another Thing With Dave, the conversation dives headfirst into the disillusionment with American politics. Dave and his guest explore the frustrating similarities between Republicans and Democrats, the corporatization of government, and the myth that voters are being offered a real choice.Key Topics Covered:False Dichotomy of U.S. Politics Both Trump and Biden are portrayed as different sides of the same corrupt coin—puppets of corporate interests and the military-industrial complex.Government Doesn't Work for the People The hosts argue that the government has evolved to serve the elite, not the citizens, with corporations like BlackRock and Vanguard pulling the strings.Media Manipulation and Manufactured Consent Media outlets are criticized for pushing divisive narratives while ignoring the bipartisan consensus on war, corporate welfare, and censorship.Trump's Theater and the Real Agenda Trump's showmanship is discussed as a distraction—masking his alignment with the establishment on key issues like deregulation and tax breaks for the rich.Biden's Failures and Democratic Complicity Biden is called out for backtracking on promises, like canceling student loan debt and protecting abortion rights, and for enabling war and surveillance just as much as Republicans.Where's the Real Change? The hosts discuss how grassroots movements and third-party candidates are systematically suppressed, keeping the population trapped in a binary that benefits the elite."They don't care which puppet we vote for, as long as we keep playing their game."Thank you for tuning in!If you are digging what I am doing, and picking up what I'm putting down, please follow, subscribe, and share the podcast on social media and with friends.

Key PointsOn this episode of #mensexpleasure, I chat with Michael Brasher, a passionate men's work facilitator and community organizer. Michael's journey began while working at a domestic violence shelter, where his exposure to a men's education program transformed his understanding of masculinity and violence. Since then, he has devoted his life to violence prevention and creating spaces for men to heal, grow, and reconnect with their emotional lives. Michael shares insights from years of running men's groups, talking circles, and rites of passage experiences for men and boys. We explore the challenges of engaging men in vulnerability, the harmful impacts of traditional masculine norms, and the importance of bridging personal healing with community action. Michael's work is grounded in compassion, connection, and a vision of masculinity rooted in care and accountability.Michael's background and passion for men's work Michael shares his personal story of how working at a domestic violence shelter and going through a men's education program changed his life and set him on a path to devote himself to violence prevention and community organizing to help men understand and heal from the violence they've been incentivized into.Challenges of engaging men in this work Michael discusses how men are often resistant to this type of work, but explains that if the right space and conversation is created, men will open up and be vulnerable. He shares examples of successfully facilitating men's groups and workshops, even with populations like fraternities that are often seen as resistant.The socialization of masculinity and its impacts Michael and Cam explore how traditional masculine norms and expectations are deeply harmful, leading men to disconnect from their emotions and pain. They discuss how this socialization perpetuates cycles of violence and trauma that get passed down generationally.Creating spaces for men to heal and growMichael describes the importance of creating spaces for men to be vulnerable, share their pain, and reimagine healthier versions of masculinity. He shares examples of programs he's run, like weekly talking circles and wilderness rites of passage trips for boys and men.Bridging individual healing and community action Cam and Michael discuss the need to move beyond just individual healing work and into collective action and community organizing to dismantle the systemic issues underlying toxic masculinity. They explore ideas like volunteering at community centers, leading group trips, and building intergenerational relationships.Overcoming resistance and criticismThey acknowledge the challenges of facing criticism and resistance, especially around perceptions of men working with boys. They emphasize the importance of being grounded in one's community and values, and not letting fear of judgment prevent doing important work.Michael's ongoing programs and resources Michael shares information about his ongoing work, including his social media presence, monthly men's talking circles, and upcoming book club discussions - all aimed at providing spaces for men to heal, grow, and build healthier relationships.Relevant links: Website: https://www.lifeunboundcoaching.com/Instagram: @lifeunboundcoaching
In this fifth episode of the 6-part InPowered Life Method series, Rudi Riekstins dives into one of the most overlooked yet critical parts of transformation: reflection and integration. If you've ever found yourself stuck, unsure why progress stalls, this episode offers a framework to help you pause, assess, and move forward with intention. Learn the four pillars of powerful integration—from micro course corrections to stacking success evidence—and discover how to become the CEO of your own life. In this episode, you'll learn:Real transformation requires time for self-reflection, not just actionDaily, weekly, and monthly check-ins ensure alignment with your goalsFeedback from others offers a valuable, objective lens for growthCourse correction should be small and strategic, not overwhelmingTracking and stacking success builds confidence and momentumYour failures are not the end—they're catapults for growthIntegration anchors your progress and keeps you in intentional motion
What if the real reason you feel stuck isn't the strategy… but the story you're believing underneath it? In this episode, I'm getting real about why surface-level fixes—like grinding harder or switching up your to-do list—don't actually create lasting transformation. I share a moment from my own business where I hit a plateau and thought the answer was more action… when really, it was about going deeper. Because friend, the fruit (your results) will always reflect the root (your beliefs). If you've ever wondered why you keep hitting the same walls despite doing all the things—this episode is going to hit home.

Simon challenges conventional diversity and inclusion approaches, advocating for collaboration through differences rather than enforcing conformity.Key Tips You'll Discover:Research-Driven Writing: How to conduct extensive background research and question the provenance of evidence before formulating argumentsHistorical Context Strategy: Beginning chapters with historical stories to explore modern implications and engage readersAvoiding "I Think" Overuse: Presenting ideas for readers to engage with rather than stating personal opinions repeatedlyThe Power of Outside Perspectives: Why having others read drafts is crucial for challenging author assumptions and broadening accessibilityNatural Humor Integration: Incorporating wit organically rather than forcing comedy into serious topicsArgument Formulation: Creating dialectic experiences where readers encounter competing viewpointsSimon shares his journey from stand-up comedian to diversity consultant, revealing how his experience building broad coalitions around equality (rather than demanding agreement) shaped his writing approach. He discusses writing during COVID-19 lockdowns, the "vibe shift" he sees in DEI approaches, and his concerns about orthodoxies that treat group experiences as too homogeneous.Whether you're writing about complex social issues, looking to challenge conventional thinking in your field, or seeking to create more nuanced arguments in your work, Simon's approach offers valuable insights for authors tackling difficult topics.Featured Book: "The Power of Difference" https://www.amazon.com/Power-Difference-Complexities-Diversity-Inclusion-ebook/dp/B0954T3J9GComing Next: A potential book on recreating tolerance and exchange of ideas in societyPerfect for authors who want to write about challenging topics while inviting genuine engagement and dialogue!#SimonFanshawe #ThePowerOfDifference #AuthorsOnMission #DiversityAndInclusion #DEI #BookWriting #LGBTQ #Stonewall #SocialJustice #AuthorLife #WritingProcess #DiversityConsulting #InclusionStrategy #BookPublishing #AuthorSuccess #SocialChange #WritingTips #AuthorPlatform #CriticalThinking #SocietalChange
Send us a MessageIn this episode of Culture Change, Sue Tetzlaff emphasizes that efforts to elevate both competency and consistency are crucial for effective culture change and improvement. Competency relates to the quality and standards of practice, while consistency pertains to the frequency and application of those practices. The conversation explores how there are differences in how improvement teams and/or leaders approach increasing competency versus how they approach gaining more consistency. Ultimately, by focusing on both competency and consistency, an organization is aiming for a culture of continuous improvements that can be both measured and felt.Culture is how we do things around here which implies both competency and consistency in those “chosen things.”Competency relates to the quality of practice.Consistency is about the frequency of practice.A starting point is defining what it means to be both competent (how) and consistent (how often) in each required practice or standard.Understanding the 'why' behind practices enhances efforts to achieve both competency and consistency.Training, mentoring, and coaching are key to elevating competency.Accountability tactics are key to gaining and maintaining consistency.The long game in culture change requires sustained efforts focused on both competency and consistency of “how we do things around here.”Need help improving the culture, performance, and results of your healthcare organization?

What happens when a major foundation president decides to speak out boldly during a crisis? How can philanthropy surge resources to protect nonprofit workers facing unprecedented job losses? In this season finale of the Fund the People Podcast, host Rusty Stahl sits down with John Palfrey, President of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, to explore how courage becomes contagious in times of sector-wide attacks.

Serbia's government has come under intense pressure since a deadly disaster at Novi Sad's main railway station last November. Student-led protests have spiralled into a nation-wide resistance movement and for months, Serbians have been speaking out against corruption, a lack of accountability, and a culture of impunity in Aleksandar Vučić's regime. But if you're listening to this from Western Europe, or indeed much of the rest of the world, the odd headline is probably all you've seen. What are these protests really about? And what makes them different? This week, an in-depth conversation about what it's like to be living through a potential turning point in Serbian history. Thanks for listening.

In this episode of Brokers of Secrets, William Lam reveals how your brain filters the world through a narrow lens shaped by subconscious programming, past experiences, and limiting beliefs. Most people live within these invisible boundaries, never realizing that their so-called “reality” is completely malleable. But once you understand the mechanics of your perception, you can consciously shift your mindset, unlock abundance, and begin designing a life that reflects your true potential.William breaks down the “design and resolve” method: a transformational process for reprogramming your internal filters. You'll learn how to clearly define what you want across health, relationships, and purpose, and how to resolve the emotional resistance and feelings of unworthiness that block you from alignment. From activating your Reticular Activation System (RAS) to recognizing emotions as signals for growth, this episode gives you practical tools to move beyond scarcity thinking and build a life of intentional, holistic abundance.
