Podcasts about recording

Recording from Washington DC Gospel Truth Seminar 2011:Did you know that the nearly-too-good-to-be-true news of the Gospel is about far more than the forgiveness of sins? The Gospel's power is intended to bring freedom into every area of your life—leading to healing, prosperity, joy, and peace (Rom. 1:16). Wherever you're not experiencing life and victory, there's still more of the Gospel to discover. Join Andrew as he explores the true Gospel—it really is that good.

What happens when a Chicago multi-instrumentalist with power-pop roots, psychedelic instincts, and indie-folk sensitivity lands in Nashville with a home studio, a loop pedal, and a fearless creative streak?What happens when a Chicago multi-instrumentalist with power-pop roots, psychedelic instincts, and indie-folk sensitivity lands in Nashville with a home studio, a loop pedal, and a fearless creative streak?In this episode, I sat down with Packy Lundholm - songwriter, producer, guitarist, and longtime member of I Fight Dragons, Theo Katzman's band, and collaborator with artists like May Erlewine, Woody Goss, and Kory Quinn. We talk about his move from Chicago to Nashville, how he built a recording life out of his home studio, and the unexpected freedom that comes from producing across wildly different genres.Packy shares how looping and improvisation shaped his musicianship, why writing too many verses is part of his process, and how he trims songs back to their emotional core. We dig into the art of collaboration, arranging for different artists, producing folk vs. rock vs. synth-driven pop, and why he still chases the power-pop/psych/Americana blend that first inspired him. We also get into the Track Sabbath series, his shift toward co-producing for May Erlewine, and what it means to build a career where playing, writing, and producing all feed each other.Whether you're a home-studio songwriter, a multi-instrumentalist juggling bands, or a producer trying to define your sound, Packy's journey is packed with real-world insight, humility, and a ton of creative encouragementGet access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.comTHANKS TO OUR SPONSORS!http://UltimateMixingMasterclass.comhttps://usa.sae.edu/ https://www.izotope.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.native-instruments.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.spectra1964.comhttps://gracedesign.com/https://pickrmusic.com https://RecordingStudioRockstars.com/Academyhttps://www.thetoyboxstudio.com/Listen to the podcast theme song “Skadoosh!” https://solo.to/lijshawmusicListen to this guest's discography on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4N94WlerjWFUHllHe60cU7?si=11GbwseDSOm1By1MR6PeWwIf you love the podcast, then please leave a review: https://RSRockstars.com/ReviewCLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AT: https://RSRockstars.com/564

In this episode of It's Just Bodybuilding, Ron Partlow, Dusty Hanshaw, Scott McNally and Special Guest Turner Riddle tackle a controversial question: Is bodybuilding losing its prestige? We discuss the explosion of NPC and IFBB Pro cards, whether becoming a pro bodybuilder means the same thing it once did, and how these changes may be affecting the future of competitive bodybuilding. Along the way, we break down the Italy Pro, today's competitive landscape, and what it takes to stand out in a sport that has never been bigger. 00:00 Introduction & Recording at Turner Riddle's house 01:12 Turners Home Gym, Land & Lifestyle 04:28 Italy Pro Preview & Predictions 05:40 Jordan Hutchinson, Bonac & Today's Competitive Landscape 09:00 Has NPC/IFBB Bodybuilding Devalued the Pro Card? 18:00 Sponsors, Guest Posing & The Business of Bodybuilding 20:32 Old-School vs Modern Physiques 22:08 More Shows, More Pros: Good or Bad for the Sport? 30:02 The Loss of Amateur Gatekeeping 36:16 The Lost Mystique of Professional Bodybuilding 40:34 What Does Success in Bodybuilding Really Mean? 42:12 The Economics of Running Bodybuilding Shows 47:29 The Future of Competitive Bodybuilding 50:00 Pro Cards, Prestige & Industry Culture 54:50 Competing for Passion vs Recognition 1:00:08 Why the Masters Division Continues to Grow 1:01:24 Ego, Validation & Athlete Expectations 1:02:22 Realistic Expectations in Bodybuilding 1:03:50 Coach Hopping vs Staying Consistent 1:05:50 Joe vs Nick: Predictions & Debate 1:10:30 Upcoming Shows & Athlete Storylines 1:13:14 Home Gyms, Outdoor Training & Final Thoughts 1:14:10 Wrap-Up

Today's guest is one of the most recognizable faces of her generation — an actor whose voice you'd know in a single frame. But her real story isn't the one you've watched. It's the one she kept secret: for 20 years she's been a songwriter, and barely anyone — even people who know her — knew it.This is one of the more honest conversations we've had about being underestimated — as an actor who "couldn't" really be a musician, and as a woman the industry assumed didn't write her own songs — and about what it costs to keep making things purely because you love them.And The Writer Is...

Pete and Matt. World Cup raging, transfer news bubbling under the surface, and a slide deck Pete's clearly proud of. Recording on Monday, landing in your feed Tuesday morning Here's what's inside:

I’ve been journaling more or less daily for the past fifteen years. As much as I love the romantic vision of pen on paper, I’ve always done it digitally because I could never keep up with a handwritten journal. I tried, but it never really worked. Over the years, I’ve come across plenty of advice on the best ways to journal, the best techniques, and the best prompts. I always think it’s worth bringing a bit of nuance to these conversations because, as far as I’m concerned, the best way to journal is whatever way means you actually do it. And that depends entirely on who you are, what you want your journal to do for you, and how it fits with your life circumstances. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, I discuss something I recently noticed about my journal practice that I’d never considered before. https://youtu.be/mSpRvfmqW9A Since 2021, I’ve been answering the same four questions most mornings: What did I do yesterday? What was the best thing that happened yesterday? What are today’s news headlines? What are my plans for today? What struck me is that all four questions are surprisingly objective and focus on facts rather than feelings. They’re concrete, and none of them explicitly probe beneath the surface. They don’t want me to go searching for deeper meaning. Just record, archive, and document. If I’m short on time, I can answer the questions in less than five minutes (once I’m able to recall what happened yesterday). They are simple, easy, and objective. But more often than not, I go deeper and longer. Especially once I start thinking about the best thing that happened yesterday, today’s news headlines, and what I have planned. Recording and Processing The reason I started thinking about all this was that I saw a post on social media titled “How Journaling Actually Works.” It suggested that people get journaling wrong by recording events like a diary rather than finding the meaning in them. It caught my attention because it was the opposite of what I’ve found to be true. He suggests asking yourself questions like: What does this situation actually mean to me and why does it feel the way it does? Whoa, where do you start with that? What am I avoiding thinking about right now? What am I pretending is fine when it’s not? What would I do if I were not afraid of the outcome? These are reasonable coaching-style questions for addressing specific situations. But they demand a fairly high cognitive and emotional load and likely require more than the five honest minutes he suggests for meaningful insight. If those are the kinds of questions you’re asking every time you sit down to journal, it can start to feel like a pretty heavy-duty habit. I don’t know about you, but I would feel resistance to picking up my journal if that was what confronted me. My experience has been quite different. Over fifteen years of journaling, I’ve found that recording often opens the door to processing. The simple act of documenting what happened yesterday gets my mind moving. It gives me something to work with. And sometimes, while writing about ordinary things, I stumble into something much bigger. Recently, during one of our Haven Journal Circles, I responded to the prompt: What brought me peace this week? My answer was having the brakes replaced on my car. A fairly ordinary response. But when I wrote a little more about it in my journal the next morning, it opened up a whole bunch of things I wanted to explore, not least of which was putting off doing something I know needs doing. It prompted me to stop procrastinating several other things that have been draining me in the background for a while. I didn’t sit down intending to write about avoidance, and I wouldn’t have thought about it in relation to those other questions. It was when I considered something present for me (peace) that I could see what was missing. That’s one of the things I love about this style of journaling. I never quite know what might occur. Why These Four Questions Work For Me in My Journal Practice Interestingly, I used to have more reflective questions in my daily practice. For a while, I asked things like: What am I thankful for right now? What does this make possible? What one thing that is not urgent but important will I do today? These aren’t bad questions. But over time I found them difficult to answer consistently. My engagement with them became repetitive, and they started to feel a little burdensome. What did I do yesterday? This question is a helpful anchor. It’s shocking how easily I forget what I did just twenty-four hours ago. I regularly underestimate how much I’ve done and how far I’ve come. I adapt to changes quickly and can lose sight of progress that would have seemed significant only a few days or weeks earlier. Recording what happened yesterday helps me notice that movement. What was the best thing that happened yesterday? This question was an iteration of “What am I thankful for right now?” I realised that I didn’t find it helpful to ask what I’m grateful for. Because some days I don’t FEEL grateful when I sit down to write. But there is always a best thing relative to everything else that happened yesterday. And through responding to that question, a feeling of gratitude, appreciation, or satisfaction often follows. The best thing doesn’t need to be a great thing. It can simply be the best among a collection of difficult things. What are today’s news headlines? This is very much a personal choice because I like anchoring myself in cultural time. When I look back through old entries, it’s fascinating to see what was happening in the wider world alongside whatever was happening in my own life. It’s easy to lose track of timelines and current events. Recording headlines provides context for personal reflections and sometimes reveals connections I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. That said, I wouldn’t suggest everyone does this. For some people, there may be good reasons not to engage with the news during a journaling practice. You might choose to record the weather, books you’re reading, films you’ve watched, or something else entirely. The principle is similar because these things can influence us without us necessarily noticing at the time. And by recording and archiving regularly and consistently, these pictures can become clearer. What are my plans for today? This question took a little tweaking. I used to ask, “What will I do today?” As a way to commit myself to particular actions. But eventually realised that wasn’t quite right because my days often contain things I didn’t plan. Plans change, and unexpected things happen. If plans are framed as things I will do, it can feel like a failure if I don’t carry them out. But by asking about my plans rather than what I will do, I can set intentions for the day and later notice how closely reality matched what I anticipated. That neutral observation doesn’t need to become a judgment or source of self-criticism. My relationship with plans has definitely softened. Maybe because of this. Or maybe I approach plans this way because I hold them differently. Building Your Own Journaling Practice One thing that stood out to me in the social media post was the suggestion that consistency matters less than honesty. I understand the point being made, but for me consistency has been a key pathway TO honesty. And inconsistency would yield something more performed or forced. Keeping a journal creates an ongoing conversation. Over time it builds familiarity, trust, and reliability. The bigger thoughts and feelings have somewhere to go when they appear because the habit already exists. Not all journal sessions become deep dive self-examinations. Some do because most don’t. The post drew a distinction between recording and processing, and between shallowness and depth. But in my experience, the two are closely connected. Recording often creates the conditions where reflection can emerge. What Do You Want Your Journal Practice To Do and Be For You? Pay attention to how different questions make you feel. If you’re building a practice, ask yourself what you want it to be. Enjoy experimenting with it. Don’t be afraid to reject advice or to let go of questions that run out of road. It’s your practice, and it needs to work for you. The four questions I use today emerged through years of tweaking, adapting, and noticing what keeps me coming back with energy and enthusiasm. Your journal practice will probably look different. And that’s exactly as it should be. But maybe this is where you can start. Try these questions, tweak them, add your own, and pay attention to your relationship with the practice. Pick The Lock Do you want help thinking about this? It’s a good fit for a Pick The Lock call, which is a one-off 60-minute, choose-your-own-price session designed to give you a sounding board for a challenge, goal, or change you’re considering. Send me a message, or learn more here. Journal Circle If you would like some low-stakes, simple prompts to try things out, join us in The Haven. Every Friday we have our journal circle, where we meet for 30 minutes, reflect on the shape of the past seven days, and do a simple five-minute written exercise in response to a question. After that, we have space to chat about how we got on.

https://www.the-christ.net/Join David, Jason, Kirsten, and Marina for this powerful closing session recorded live at the culmination of the Renovatio retreat in Duchesne, Utah. In a gathering filled with joy, gratitude, and heartfelt testimonies, the panel returns to what A Course in Miracles calls one of its deepest and most challenging teachings: True Empathy.Moving beyond sympathy and the temptation to make suffering real, they explore what it means to take complete responsibility for sight—to see with the Holy Spirit, hold no exceptions to the miracle, and recognize that only the truth is true. Through stories, laughter, and profound sharings from retreat participants, this session reveals how every relationship can become a holy opportunity for healing, where we learn to see beyond personalities to the light of Christ in one another.Filled with moving expressions of gratitude, experiences of deep joining, and the joy of discovering that awakening cannot fail, this beautiful conclusion is a celebration of mighty companionship and a reminder that true empathy is not entering into suffering, but standing unwaveringly in love and innocence together.For further insights and unfolding session summaries, be sure to visit David Hoffmeister's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/david.hoffmeister).

This week you start things off digging into the craft that separates good gigs from great ones. You’ll get the playbook for prepping and surviving sub gigs, learn (again!) why a splitter snake earns its place in your rig, and sort through the real options when you need a mic mute switch that actually works. Then you wrestle with a question every working band faces today: are fan-posted videos helping your brand or hurting it? It’s the kind of practical, in-the-trenches breakdown that reminds you to Always Be Performing, whether the camera’s rolling or not. Then guest co-host Jesus Hernandez joins, and you trace his path from a Portastudio kid to the engineer bands trust with their sound, along with the philosophy he’s built along the way: you’re serving people’s ears, and the console is your instrument. You’ll hear why you should ask a band what they want to sound like before you touch a fader, why learning to mix yourself turns your engineer into a producer, and how routing a digital mixer keeps everything simple when the power flickers. He shares the gear that’s earned his trust, hard-won war stories from the road, his time subbing as a bass player in Nashville, and life on tour with a Phil Collins and Genesis tribute. By the end you’ll be listening to your own gigs with sharper ears and a hungrier inner critic. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 539 – Monday, June 22nd, 2026 June 22nd: National Chocolate Éclair Day Guest co-host: Jesus Hernandez 00:01:32 Prepping for and playing Sub Gigs Ultimate-Guitar's Pro Charts…now with lyrics! 00:04:25 The benefits of splitter snake Listener Questions 00:09:55 Mark-What's the best MD Mic Switch?

Still Talking, with The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey Sometimes there's a lot more stuff to talk about after the "stop recording" button has been pushed. Here is just a little clip⁣Spotify:⁣https://open.spotify.com/show/214M4OKBbWcDivndnc2MTu⁣⁣Apple Podcasts:⁣https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stage-door-a-theatre-podcast-hosted-by-two-regular-guys/id1573865415⁣

This week I did something I've been telling people to do for years but had been too comfortable to try myself. I pushed for volume. A daily podcast. Ten clips a day. Twenty pieces of content across every platform. The kind of output that used to take my team six hours and three people. So we ran an audit, rebuilt the entire thing with AI, and got it down to something I can run from the sideline of my kid's soccer practice. In this episode I get into why we did it, the system we built, the tools we actually use, the problem we hit (one of them involves Messi and Ronaldo), and the early numbers that genuinely surprised me.

https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsJoin David Hoffmeister for a profound evening session recorded live at the Renovatio retreat in Duchesne, Utah.David explores one of the deepest teachings of "A Course in Miracles": the world was made to distract us from the power of our own mind and to induce a kind of spiritual amnesia—a forgetting of love, eternal life, and our oneness with God.Through the movie's themes of memory, identity, and perception, David gently leads us on what he calls a journey of "reverse amnesia": the undoing of everything we have believed about ourselves as separate beings living in a world outside us. As the mind withdraws its investment in fear, guilt, and loss, a new perception dawns—the happy dream—in which forgiveness becomes natural and peace is no longer dependent on circumstances.David reminds us that awakening is not about becoming something different, but about remembering what we have always been. Beneath every story of loss and separation lies the radiant innocence of the Christ child within, waiting only to be remembered. This moving talk is an invitation to leave the world behind—not through sacrifice, but through the joyful remembrance of God's eternal Love.For further insights and unfolding session summaries, be sure to visit David Hoffmeister's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/david.hoffmeister).

Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. This episode was recorded live onstage in New Delhi, India, in February 2026, at the end of the pilgrimage In the Footsteps of the Buddha. Leadership coach Jo Confino was joined by Zen Buddhist nun Sister Tam Muoi and Dharma teacher Shantum Seth to discuss what it means to renew Buddhism, and Thich Nhat Hanh’s vision for doing so – including his emphasis on simplicity, equality, and making the teachings accessible and relevant to the contemporary world. They also reflect on their 14-day pilgrimage in India, and how it deepened their understanding of and connection to the Buddha’s teachings. This includes Sister Tam Muoi's insights about the strong sangha formed among the diverse group of 60 pilgrims from 16 different countries. She also reflects on her personal connection to India and her healing journey of reconnecting with the Buddha’s teachings in their land of origin. Shantum Seth, who has been leading pilgrimages in India for over 30 years, explains the transformative power of these journeys in allowing people to connect with the Buddha as a human being and experience his teachings' relevance to their own lives. He also shares plans for the Ahimsa Trust to establish a Plum Village center in India, to continue Thich Nhat Hanh’s legacy and bring the Dharma to a wider audience, especially a young one. Shantum Seth, an ordained Dharmacharya (Dharma teacher) in the Buddhist Mindfulness lineage of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, teaches in India and across the world. A co-founder of Ahimsa Trust, he has been a student of Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings for the past 35 years, and, since 1988, has led pilgrimages and other multi-faith, educational, cultural, spiritual, and transformative journeys across diverse regions of India and Asia. He is actively involved in educational, social, and ecological programmes, including work on cultivating mindfulness in society, including with educators, the Indian Central Reserve Police Force, and the corporate sector. Across various Indian sanghas, Dharmacharya Shantum is the primary teacher of different practices of mindfulness from Thich Nhat Hanh's tradition. Sister Tam Muoi (Sister Samadhi) is from the UK and was ordained in 2012 and became a Dharma teacher in 2022. Having encountered the practice whilst living in France, she became engaged in the French lay sangha and was ordained into the Order of Interbeing in 2004. She is actively supporting the recently created Being Peace Practice Centre in the UK and is deeply committed to the work of healing ancestral harm, and to participation in trainings and retreats exploring White Awareness.

I find that difficult – but I love the sitting.' And Thay would say, ‘Well, then sit. Do the practice that you enjoy.' It’s so important to touch joy in whatever practice we do. It shouldn’t be hard work and creating more battles on your cushion.” “Suffering is where we start. It’s your own suffering you have to handle. But also look at the suffering in the world. It’s not separate: other people’s suffering is your suffering; other people’s happiness is your happiness. That’s where we start. And then, know that all these things are interconnected. Nothing exists independently.” “India is a great teacher because she’s confronting you all the time. That’s why we call her Mother India, I guess. She also challenges every preconception, and so, ‘Everything you say about India, the exact opposite is also true.'” “It’s dangerous coming to India because you’re going to go back different.” “Don’t believe something just because a teacher says it, or because it’s written in scripture, or has come from centuries-old tradition. Try it. And see how you feel.” “Thay was a very revolutionary teacher because of his aspiration to make Buddhism relevant. He had seen the damage done by dogmatism, by fossilization. And so he was always thinking of new ways that we could make Buddhism appropriate.” “Our precepts – the behavioral code for all the monastics and also for the lay friends – are rewritten every five or 10 years to update them. It's quite extraordinary that Thay had the courage to do that; he faced criticism from many very traditional countries.” “Something important about the Buddha Dharma is that it is very much about what we experience in this world. We’re not talking about something which is going to happen after some sort of transcendence. And that’s why I think the Buddha Dharma is relevant to our Earth: we have to care for this little planet of ours, we have to care for our rivers, we have to care for our climate, to care for each other. And it’s not about an outcome in some past or future life; the karma happens right here and now. Every action has a result and that result can be seen in this life and in this community.” “You sit, you enjoy your breath, you get a little sense of being a Buddha for a moment. Maybe you can become a part-time Buddha, maybe a full-time Buddha. ‘Buddha' just means ‘to be awake' – and with mindfulness practice, being mindful is a type of awakening.”

Jay Gunkelman goes in BLIND on a 10-year-old's EEG — no diagnosis, no story. What he finds isn't a broken brain: it's gross over-arousal with FAST alpha near 12 Hz, beta spindling up at 32 Hz that a database stopping at 30 would never see, and a left-side sympathetic source pointing at the insula. The likely complaint? Anxiety — maybe labeled OCD, maybe pushed toward an SSRI that would make this brain worse, not better. Jay lays out the actual fix: the Scott protocol's pre-treatment FIRST (calm the sympathetic trigger and slow content), THEN slow-alpha and alpha-theta training to drop the arousal. Read the brain, and the trajectory of a whole life changes. Plus: Joshua Moore previews his first QEEG-phenotypes workshop.

What does it take to move from AI experimentation to real business impact? Recording during Google Cloud Summit London 2026 at Tobacco Dock, I had the opportunity to speak with Maureen Costello, Vice President for UKI and Sub-Saharan Africa at Google Cloud, about one of the biggest shifts currently taking place across technology and business. After years of discussion around generative AI, the focus is now turning toward agentic AI and how organizations can put these capabilities to work in practical, measurable ways. Maureen offered a fascinating view from the front line of AI adoption, sharing how businesses across financial services, retail, government, and other sectors are beginning to move beyond pilots and proof-of-concept projects. We discussed how AI is helping organizations improve customer experiences, increase productivity, strengthen decision-making, and create new opportunities for growth. From helping banks tackle financial crime and deliver smarter customer services to supporting government departments in modernizing public services, the conversation is filled with examples that bring the technology to life. We also explored why the UK is so well positioned for the next chapter of AI adoption. With world-class research, exceptional talent, and ambitious investment across both the public and private sectors, Maureen believes the UK has a genuine opportunity to remain at the forefront of AI innovation. She also explained why skills development, data readiness, security, governance, and trust will play such an important role as organizations begin introducing AI agents into everyday workflows. What I particularly enjoyed was discussing the human side of this transition. As AI becomes embedded into business operations, how should leaders prepare their teams? What separates organizations that achieve meaningful outcomes from those that struggle to move beyond the early excitement? And how can businesses strike the right balance between innovation, responsibility, and long-term value? Whether you're following the announcements from Google Cloud Summit London, building your own AI strategy, or simply trying to understand where this technology is heading next, this conversation offers valuable insight into one of the most talked-about topics in business today. What role do you think agentic AI will play inside your organization over the next 12 months, and are businesses finally moving from curiosity to meaningful adoption?

John “JR” Robinson is one of the best and maybe the most recorded drummer of the modern era. His Bio is out of this world. You definitely know his playing, because he's played on just about every song ever recorded. Here's just a couple. He's the guy who played that legendary drum fill in Michael Jackson's "Rock With You" from “Off The Wall”, the spectacular intro to Steve Winwood's No. 1 hit, "Higher Love" from “Back In The High Life”, and he was the drummer on “We Are The World”.  In total he's played on over 10,000 recording sessions, 500 movie and television soundtracks, 30 No. 1 hit records, and 50 Grammy winners. He's been named one of Rolling Stone's "Top 100 Drummers of All Time". And he's worked with a Who's Who in music including Quincy Jones, Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, Lady Gaga, Peter Frampton, George Benson, Elton John, Madonna, Marvin Hamlisch, and Barbra Streisand, to name just a few. And he's written a biography called “King Of The Groove”. My featured song is “The Rich Ones All Stars”, my recent single.

https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsJoin David Hoffmeister for a powerful evening session recorded live on Day 4 of the Renovatio retreat in Duchesne, Utah. In this episode, David utilizes a custom-compiled "Mission Accomplished" mini-movie to explore the profound mechanics of high-level mind training. Focusing heavily on the film's demonstration of flawless team collaboration, immaculate precision, and advanced communication networks, David maps these cinematic themes directly onto our spiritual awakening. He illustrates how navigating the complex ego matrix requires a level of dedication in which personal agendas are entirely yielded to the singular, unified guidance of the Holy Spirit.Tune in to discover how stepping into this synchronized, non-personal collaboration allows the mind to completely drop the loop of past conditioning and accept the ultimate, peaceful reality of a mission already accomplished.For further insights and unfolding session summaries, be sure to visit David Hoffmeister's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/david.hoffmeister).

Welcome back to Cheers with Nat – the podcast dedicated to cheering on women in drinks. We're about to kick off a four-episode mini-series from my recent visit to NYC! Today's guest is Courtney Iseman, freelance drinks writer and media consultant. Courtney shares how her childhood love of Broadway turned into a degree in journalism and screenwriting and, later, a career as a writer. We also learn how she went from writing about fashion to craft beer, and the surprising parallels between the two. You'll hear about how she spots trends and makes connections, the many hobbies that keep her grounded outside of work, and lots more.   What stuck with me from this conversation: On a dream piece of work: "The first time I wrote a story for Full Pour… I opened the contributors page, and to see my name next to some of these writers that I absolutely worship…that is, I think, the biggest deal. To see your writing in the company of writers that you've admired for so long. It is a pinch me moment." On a focus of her writing: "My whole thing with my writing – whenever I can – is I really like to bring in other subcultures and other things that speak to people and help break down the rigid 'bearded white dude' thing in beer." On how she helps businesses as a consultant: "Everyone has a story. You're not getting out there because maybe you haven't identified it. Here's how you do that. Here's how you pitch yourself… so it's just kind of giving them a toolkit." On freelancing: "It's not for everyone and it absolutely has its challenges and its downsides. Absolutely. But it is the only life for me. And I do ultimately love it." On what piques her interest: "Whether it was in theatre, music or fashion, I'm obsessed with creative people." On how she stays grounded outside of work: "I want to be consuming art every day"   Links & things: What we're drinking: Yoju White Peach Courtney's work: Journalism (She's pretty prolific!

https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsJoin David Hoffmeister for a profound evening session recorded live on Day 3 of the Renovatio retreat in Duchesne, Utah. Diving deep into a mind-bending sci-fi series, David challenges our fundamental beliefs about linear time, human history, and civilization's supposed progress.Drawing from A Course in Miracles, this session exposes the ego's complex "separation matrix" and invites us into a radical shift in perception. By examining the deep layers of human consciousness, memory, and the longing for ultimate truth, David beautifully maps out the journey from collective amnesia to the natural, quiet recognition of Oneness. Step out of the labyrinth of the past and open your heart to the gentle invitation of the Spirit.For further insights and unfolding session summaries, be sure to visit David Hoffmeister's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/david.hoffmeister).

G.K. Chesterton wrote in 1926 that "the heart of Christendom is a heart" and in this episode, Joe and Grettelyn discover that this single line unlocks his entire approach to apologetics. Recording just before the U.S. bishops' historic consecration of America to the Sacred Heart on the nation's 250th anniversary, they trace the providential thread connecting two Pope Leos, a 1926 essay from GK's Weekly, and Chesterton's lifelong practice of winning opponents through friendship and wonder. In This Episode: How a 1926 essay in GK's Weekly reveals the theological principle behind G.K.

Register for my free workshop with Ecamm: https://ecamm.com/joeHere's the problem: most solopreneurs don't know exactly what they do. They can't explain it, so they can't build systems around it. And when we try to build systems without explaining them, they end up with bad, ineffective systems. Because when we explain, we scrutinize.How do you fix it? Pick one task you do often, fire up a screen recorder, and narrate how you do it and why. Recording yourself doing your task is the blueprint. It is the plan. That's the first step to understanding the systems you can build, so you can automate your business and take time off worry-free.Want a second set of eyes on yours?

What if the pain you've been trying to escape is actually the fuel you've been looking for? Recording artist Ben Barbic walked away from alcohol, nicotine, and blood pressure medications at 28 — and built a 15-year operating system for resilience.In this episode of Health Longevity Secrets, Robert Lufkin MD sits down with Ben Barbic — chart-climbing reggae and hip-hop recording artist, San Jose-based studio owner of Where Dreams Sail Studios, and author of the new memoir Rise and Climb: Finding Purpose Through Pain (Skyhorse Publishing / Simon & Schuster, October 15). They talk about the night his childhood home burned down, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that destroyed his family's second house, the teddy bear from his young son that triggered his sobriety pivot, the redwood-tree metaphor on the book cover, kirtan and chakra meditation as his entry point to a calmer mind, and how very small daily choices — a single five-minute habit — compound into a completely different life.CHAPTERS:00:00 — Introduction01:08 — Meet Ben Barbic: Recording Artist, Author, and Self-Builder02:00 — Childhood Trauma: When the House Burned Down03:00 — The 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake and the Power of Rebuilding04:01 — Why Music Became His First Anchor as a Child05:02 — The 28th Birthday Pivot: Walking Away from Alcohol and Nicotine06:02 — The Subtraction-Then-Addition Method for Habit Change07:03 — Quitting Blood Pressure Medications and Treating the Root Cause09:04 — The Teddy Bear Moment: How His Son Triggered the Pivot12:04 — Why Tiny Five-Minute Habits Beat Big Resolutions14:05 — The First Three Habits He Added After Sobriety17:07 — Kirtan and Chakra Meditation: A Beginner's Path19:08 — Music, Memory, and the Brain's Storytelling Pathways24:09 — Writing a Memoir: The Hardest Part Is Vulnerability27:10 — Three Lessons for Self-Builders and High Performers30:11 — The Redwood Tree Metaphor on the Book Cover31:11 — Victim Mindset vs Agency: How to Reframe Adversity32:11 — Redefining Success: From Catching Up to Contributing36:12 — The Empty-Nest Pivot and the Next 5 Years38:13 — Final Thoughts: Pursue What Gives You PurposeKEY TAKEAWAYS:Subtract before you add — remove the drainers first, then layer in new habits.Hypertension is rarely solved by stacking more meds — change the upstream inputs and the numbers follow.The pivot moment usually has a single concrete trigger.Five minutes is enough — compounding does the rest.Kirtan plus chakra meditation is a friendly entry point for musicians.Redwood trees regrow tall around old burn scars.Define success by what you can contribute, not by who you can catch up to.LINKS & SOURCES:Rise and Climb: Finding Purpose Through Pain by Ben BarbicBen's music catalog1989 Loma Prieta earthquake background

Brighty's holiday in Bath is interrupted by Babs insisting he make amends to his sister, Flan, after he ended her engagement with the entrepreneurial industrialist Mr Poach. Unfortunately the plan to fix the wrong of meddling in his sister's life, involves more meddling in his sister's life. Meanwhile Churley has to contend with making ‘arrangements' for an unexpected boxing match.Lord Christian Brighty used to be the most notorious rake of the Regency. But after a hazing ritual for a new chambermaid led to a self-inflicted cannonball injury, Brighty, compelled by the chambermaid in question - the uneducated but forthright Babigail – resolves to mend his ways. Accompanying him in his quest are Babs (elevated beyond her station to a chambermaid-cum-adviser role), and his butler, Mr Churlington (although Churley would actually prefer everything to stay exactly as it used to be).Written by Amy Greaves & Christian BrightyCast: Lord Christian Brighty …..

So, here's how it went down this week…1.⁠ ⁠Our normal in-depth production schedule exchange took place over WhatsApp on Monday2.⁠ ⁠Recording commenced bang on 10:37am on Tuesday morning, conditions were normal with a gentle pace and favourable headwinds.3.⁠ ⁠Approximately 20 minutes a largely throwaway comment, somewhat metaphysical in nature, threw Ant off course.4.⁠ ⁠We took that concept on a hell of a ramble, with canine in tow, and plenty of mint-cake (courtesy of my birthplace).Ant suggested we went old-school for the spelling, he thinks the double-g seems to work better for some reason, I can't say I am convinced but if I am going to put my name to something then it might as well be accurate.Then again as none of you actually exist it probably doesn't matter that much.hTCD Merch StoreBecome Purple and support the showThe Invisible Man Volume 1: 1991-1997The Invisible Man Volume2: 1998-2014FacebookInstagramWebsite

https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events What does it truly look like to live in a spiritual community anchored entirely in A Course in Miracles? In this insightful session recorded live at the Renovatio retreat in Duchesne, Utah, Kirsten, Marina, and David use a comedy movie as a springboard to contrast the ego's chaotic expectations with the simplicity of a shared divine framework.Together, they explore what it means to yield your mind to a single purpose: forgiveness, open communication, and the undoing of the self-concept. Through deeply personal stories about navigating fear, moving past blind spots, and learning to internalize guidance honestly rather than trying to look like a "good" spiritual student, this episode offers a practical and refreshing roadmap for stepping into true collaboration with the Spirit. Discover the profound safety and relaxation that come when you commit to leaving no private thoughts behind.For further insights and unfolding session summaries, be sure to visit David Hoffmeister's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/david.hoffmeister).

Christine Marie brought tape after tape to local police. The sergeant believed every frame. He wouldn't move. Short Creek had spent decades looking the other way — polygamy was lifestyle, not crime — and the local department had stopped seeing what was in front of them long before Bateman declared himself a prophet.The recording that changed everything came in late 2021. Bateman, in his own voice, describing handing three of his wives to three of his men — one of them a minor. That tape crossed a line local reluctance couldn't absorb. Christine flipped a mother named Julia Johnson, whose four daughters had been given to Bateman. She helped pull the girls away so federal agents could finally act. Every month the wall held was another month those girls weren't safe — and Christine still carries the weight of that timeline.The girls who were rescued sat across from trained forensic interviewers and said nothing. Their journals — seized by the FBI — told a different story. Dates. Details. Names. Written in their own handwriting. They could put it on paper but they physically could not speak it. That gap between what a child can write and what they can say out loud is where the psychological damage lives.Shavaun Scott has spent thirty years in trauma work, domestic violence, and coercive control. Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. They examine what the documentary footage reveals about body language viewers are misreading as consent or choice. What Bateman's "atonement ceremonies" — group acts framed as divine commandment — did to his followers' capacity to recognize harm being done to them. Why eight girls went willingly with Bateman's wives when they were removed from foster care. And the moral calculation that makes the co-defendants' cases the hardest question in this entire story — women who were raised FLDS, married off as teenagers, conditioned from birth to obey, and then convicted for facilitating harm to the next generation of children.Christine addresses what she'd do differently to get Bateman stopped faster. The regret isn't about what she did. It's about every month the system refused to listen.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How do you keep millions of people streaming a World Cup match without buffering, outages, or delays? And what happens behind the scenes when a retailer suddenly experiences a surge of traffic during Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Recording this episode at the IT Press Tour in Boston, with the FIFA World Cup dominating conversations across the city, I sat down with Rob Clifford, Vice President of Sales for the Americas at IO River, to discuss one of the least visible but most important parts of our digital world. While most people simply expect websites, streaming platforms, and applications to work, an enormous amount of infrastructure sits behind every click, stream, and transaction. Rob explains why organizations are increasingly moving beyond reliance on a single content delivery network and embracing a multi-edge approach. We discuss the challenges of managing multiple providers, how IO River is helping enterprises simplify that complexity, and why the company believes a new control layer is needed to improve performance, resilience, and cost management across the edge. The conversation also explores IO River's recent $20 million funding round, the rise of edge decoupling, and how the company is working with major broadcasters preparing for the huge traffic demands of the World Cup. Rob also shares how retailers can avoid costly downtime during peak shopping events and why AI is creating a new generation of challenges and opportunities for edge infrastructure. If you've ever wondered what happens behind the scenes when millions of people watch the same sporting event, shop online during a major promotion, or access cloud services around the world, this episode offers an accessible look at the technology making it all possible. What role do you think edge infrastructure will play as AI, streaming, and digital experiences continue to scale? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with client strategist Amadeus Huff to cover a wide range of topics that wind their way from the nuts and bolts of recruiting and payment models to the rapidly shifting landscape of AI adoption in business. The two dig into how AI tools are reshaping client success roles, the murky territory of recording laws and privacy in a globalized world, the geopolitical implications of oil supply chains, sanctions, and the rise of domestic tech ecosystems in countries like Russia and Argentina, and what all of this means for the future of human connection and the nation-state. Amadeus closes on an optimistic note, arguing that as AI takes over bureaucratic busywork and erodes trust online, people will increasingly hunger for genuine human relationships and third spaces. You can connect with Amadeus Huff on LinkedIn.Timestamps00:00 - Stewart introduces Amadeus Huff, diving into recruiting as building connections between job seekers and employers with minimal variance.05:00 - Amadeus discusses AI adoption pitfalls, comparing aggressive growth strategies to Amazon's early model, questioning whether tools deliver promised results.10:00 - Conversation shifts to AI notetaking versus human perception, exploring probabilistic interpretation differences between humans and machines.15:00 - Recording consent laws debated across states, touching on Waymo surveillance, Uber data collection, and public versus private space definitions.20:00 - Global privacy landscape examined, covering Swiss banking secrecy erosion, ProtonMail's departure, and RISC-V semiconductor development escaping US jurisdiction.25:00 - Sanctions creating domestic innovation ecosystems discussed through Russia's example, paralleling Argentina's emerging commerce evolution.29:00 - Closing reflections on AI replacing bureaucracy while preserving human purpose, optimism about meaningful work and deeper personal connections emerging.Key Insights1. Recruiting is fundamentally about reducing variance between what job seekers want and what employers offer. The most ethical payment models in recruiting are tied to proven success, such as waiting three months to confirm a hire is working out, rather than collecting fees the moment a contract is signed.2. Business thinking has shifted from shareholder value to stakeholder value, meaning companies now consider the wellbeing of employees, families, and communities, not just stock price. This shift is accelerating due to AI overpromising and underdelivering, making value-based measurement more important.3. AI is most useful when it handles administrative tasks that provide no direct value to customers, such as transcribing meetings and populating CRM systems. This frees up workers to focus on meaningful relationship-building and intellectual work rather than bureaucratic busywork.4. There is an important distinction between recorded and unrecorded conversation in professional settings. Building trust through informal off-the-record dialogue before switching on a transcription tool creates clearer boundaries and stronger relationships with clients.5. Sanctions tend to follow a bell curve of effectiveness. Over time they force sanctioned countries to build domestic alternatives, which gain adoption and loyalty, ultimately reducing the influence of the original foreign companies once sanctions lift.6. AI is degrading trust in online information to the point where people will increasingly crave authentic human connection, physical gathering spaces, live experiences, and real relationships rather than algorithmically generated content.7. AI is quietly improving intergenerational relationships by removing codependency. When elderly parents learn to use AI for technical help, their calls to family members shift from problem-solving to genuine connection, which strengthens the relationship.

How do you double the size of a major sporting venue, rebuild its technology foundation, and still deliver a seamless experience for hundreds of thousands of fans? Recording from Cisco Live, I spoke with Robert Nichols, Principal Technical Architect for the Cincinnati Open, about the enormous undertaking behind one of the most respected tournaments in professional tennis. As an ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 event, the Cincinnati Open recently completed a $260 million expansion that increased the campus from 20 to 40 acres, all while working against a deadline that could not be moved. Our conversation explores what happens behind the scenes when nearly 300,000 visitors arrive expecting every aspect of the event to work flawlessly. From ticket scanning and connectivity to food service, hospitality, broadcasting, security, and crowd management, every part of the operation depends on infrastructure that most fans never think about. Robert explains how the team approached modernization without losing the qualities that have made the tournament special for generations. Accessibility, proximity to the players, and a welcoming atmosphere remain central to the Cincinnati Open experience, even as the venue continues to grow. We also discuss occupancy analytics, connected cameras, wireless networking across 40 acres, and how data helps organizers make better operational decisions throughout the tournament. Along the way, Robert shares insights into the scale of planning required to support one of the largest events in professional tennis. Looking ahead, we examine how AI and automation could influence the future of live events, helping organizers improve operations while keeping the focus firmly on the fan experience. Whether you're interested in sports, technology, operations, or large-scale event management, this episode offers a rare look at what it takes to deliver an event watched by millions worldwide. What part of a live sporting event do you think requires the most coordination behind the scenes?
