Is this the way they say the future's meant to be?It's November 1995. Pop was pulling in many different directions. But predominantly, it was swaggering its way towards the end of the century in a confident, Union Jack draped fashion. Whilst dance music, boybands, TV based retro crooners and a range of other co-stars were vying for our well earned pounds in the likes of HMV and Virgin, it was the guitar driven sounds of Britpop that were sitting at the heart of most CD wish lists as Christmas approached. As always, the team at NOW were on hand to make sense of the latest and greatest hits from 1995 and successfully curate another selection of Top Chart Hits for us. Volume 32, graced with a wonderful wintry sunsheeeine (sorry) setting, welcomed listeners into two CDs (or cassettes or even vinyl!) containing forty of them. Legacy acts such as Queen, Meat Loaf, U2, Tina Turner and Cher provided the familiarity. A sparkling range of great (and, lets be honest, a few not so great) dance bangers including N-Trance, Berri and The Original. But for most purchasing or unwrapping NOW32 in 1995, it was the allure of the likes of Pulp, Radiohead, Cast, Paul Weller AND, of course, the chart battle of blur and Oasis that makes this particular volume of our favourite compilation so iconic. A moment in time?A moment when Britpop demonstrated that it has outgrown NME and was now on the Nine O' clock news.Joining me for this episode is music and travel journalist Emma Harrison.Together, come back with us THIRTY years to revisit a time when Pulp were the biggest pre-selling artist on Island records, when Jimmy Nail was a genuine pin up for 12 year old girls(!), when Bono and The Edge were writing Bond themes and something called Sacred Spirit was breaking out of aromatherapy rooms into the (very low end of the) charts!Rediscover some genuine 90s classics from the likes of McAlmont & Butler and Everything but the Girl. Revel at how wonderful the HELP compilation album still is. Amaze yourself at a time when Christmas TOTP was presented by Bjork and Jack Dee (and they got away with it, spectacularly) and as always, argue with the presenters and their ‘missing' track selections from 1995. And celebrate (yes, CELEBRATE) the total lack of Robson and Jerome!Sometimes, NOW really do get it completely right. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But what does ikigai really mean?When you think of ikigai, what do you envision? Is it the popular Venn diagram that claims to help you find your purpose by identifying “the sweet spot” where what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for overlap? The problem? That's not ikigai at all. And in fact, the very process of putting ikigai into a framework contradicts the authentic meaning of the word.To dispel what he calls the “ikigai hoax” and uncover its deeper meaning I'm joined by Nicholas Kemp—Japanologist, researcher and author of IKIGAI-KAN: Feel a Life Worth Living and the new book Rolefulness, co-authored with Professor Daiki Kato. We explore how ikigai is fundamentally about creating meaning, connection, and a life —and workplace—where people feel life is worth livingIt's about being before doing and cultivating simple joys, authentic relationships, and spaces where people feel safe, valued, and inspired, whatever roles you are playing in your life or at work.Let's rediscover ikigai—not as a trendy framework, but as a powerful principle to understanding personal purpose, leadership development, and how to cultivate organizations where every individual can thrive. YOU'LL LEARN:Why the popular Venn diagram version of ikigai is a myth—and what authentic ikigai really means in JapanWhy ikigai is an essential concept for leaders who want to create people-centered workplacesThe deeper meaning of kokorozashi and its connection to purpose, intention, and leadership impactWhat “rolefulness” means and why understanding your roles in life can bring meaning into your relationships and workplacePractical ways to apply ikigai in leadership and daily life to inspire individuals and build thriving teamsABOUT MY GUEST:Nicholas Kemp, known as The Ikigai Coach, is a coach trainer, public speaker, consultant, and author of IKIGAI-KAN: Feel a Life Worth Living and Rolefulness.

Send us a textIn this episode of Soulful Self-Care Conversations, Pearl sits down with Emily Hawkins, fractional COO and creator of LeaderShift, to talk about what really steals joy from small business owners—and how to get it back.After 15 years of saving corporate giants millions, Emily now helps small business owners simplify operations, maximize profits, and fall back in love with their businesses. She shares how leaders unintentionally rob their teams of joy, why “death by five minutes” is killing productivity, and how clarity and curiosity can transform both business and life.If you've ever felt buried in busywork, frustrated by team dynamics, or disconnected from the reason you started your business in the first place, this conversation will help you reset.What You'll Learn in This Episode✨ Little Emily's story – why a childhood declaration of “I don't want a job” became the foundation for building a balanced life and business. ✨ Robbing your team of joy – how taking on every “quick” task kills your own joy and prevents your team from living their purpose. ✨ Death by five minutes – why constantly saying “I'll just do it” sabotages growth. ✨ Comfort vs. security blanket – how familiar tasks can become suffocating if you never let go. ✨ Hourly worth – how to reframe your time in terms of revenue responsibility, not tasks. ✨ Dream employee list – why 15 minutes of quiet clarity before you hire can change everything. ✨ Onboarding for success – how a 90-day plan can either turn new hires into rock stars or help you gracefully let the wrong fit go. ✨ Rediscovering joy – how clients who let go of control end up golfing more, traveling with their spouse, and making more money.Quotes to Remember“Right now, you are robbing your team of joy.” – Emily Hawkins“Tasks become a security blanket. But hold it too tight and you'll suffocate.” – Emily Hawkins“Good help isn't hard to find—it's hard to define. Start with your dream employee list.” – Emily Hawkins“You don't need another you in your business. You need someone different.” – Emily HawkinsResources & Links
Rediscover the freedom of childlike faith in a world that often pushes us toward skepticism and guardedness. Drawing from the beloved film Hook, Mike Schoettle, TRM's Director of Spiritual Wellness & Discipleship, reflects on how we, like Peter Pan, can forget who we truly are as we grow older—losing our innocence, trust, and openness to God's wonder. Jesus' words remind us that unless we receive the kingdom of God like a child, we cannot enter it at all. The very qualities we tend to discard with age—trusting without hesitation, approaching with openness, and believing without seeing—are the ones that most deeply connect us to Him.Through a moving story of his daughter's contagious laughter at a family soccer game, Schoettle paints a picture of the joy that childlike faith awakens—an echo of the joy and laughter that awaits us in heaven. This powerful reminder invites us to reflect on our first encounters with Jesus and to reclaim the wonder, trust, and delight that once came so naturally. When was the last time your faith made you laugh until tears came? Perhaps it's time to fly, fight, and crow again.To learn more about TRM, Click Here!To support TRM, Click Here! Send us a Message!

Are you stuck in the grind of business where every day feels the same? Do you find yourself doing all the right things but missing the spark you once had?In this episode of The Jen Keller Show, we're talking about what it really means to reinvent yourself in business.Reinvention doesn't always mean starting over. It's not about tearing down your systems or processes. More often, it's about shifting your mindset—seeing the beauty in what feels ordinary, reconnecting with your why, and recommitting with fresh energy.I'll share lessons from nearly two decades in business, along with three practical steps—Reframe, Rediscover, and Recommit—to help you fall in love with your work again, elevate your leadership, and remember that success isn't just about what you do, but about who you're becoming.This episode is for every business owner, leader, or professional—men and women—who's ready to spark new passion in the work they've been doing for years.In a world where being perfect seems to be the goal- - it's important that we know who's we are & who we are. We aren't called to be perfect - we are called to be better today than yesterday! - that's it. It doesn't have to be quantum leaps, in fact I believe that in the day to day -our little steps in the right directions! I am on a mission to help women become more of who they were created to be and less of who they were told to be. And, that takes intention, that takes action : My goal is to drop some wisdom, bring you resources and that takes community. The real unlock is the Inner Work, and that's what we do here!

Religious freedom isn't private—it's truth lived in public. Deacon Mike Beauvais and Msgr. Leonard Pivonka cut through the confusion ahead of July 4. Rediscover the Catholic meaning of religious liberty: not just freedom to worship, but the grace-given duty to live the truth in family, work, and civic life. Deacon Mike and Msgr. Pivonka unpack how conscience is formed; why reducing faith to private feeling breeds relativism; and what virtue, law, and the common good actually require. They contrast secular ideologies with the Church's teaching on freedom, responsibility, and authentic happiness, offering concrete ways to witness with clarity, charity, and courage in the public square. If you're facing workplace pressure, school policy battles, or cultural headwinds, this conversation grounds you in first principles and practical next steps.

The Social Contagion: Viral Ideologies & the Culture War for America's Future What happens when identity becomes ideology and information becomes a weapon?The Social Contagion: Viral Ideologies & The Culture War for America's Future is a fearless cultural deep-dive into the crisis of belief shaping American politics, media, and identity. With a journalist's clarity and a seeker's heart, Alison Sher dissects how social media, misinformation, and the viral spread of ideologies radicalized American culture during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.From conspiracy-laced echo chambers to digital activism gone extreme, Sher captures the raw tension of a nation split by culture wars, fighting a spiritual battle that transcends party lines.

It's an investigation into how the US lost the plot during the pandemic and how we might reclaim a shared narrative in an age of division.Through vulnerable storytelling, sharp media critique, and philosophical insight, The Social Contagion charts the conspiracy theories that shaped national conversation and the inner fractures that occur when truth becomes indiscernible and belonging is weaponized.For readers disillusioned by mainstream discourse, yet skeptical of easy answers, this book provides a map through our modern-day ideological and tribal maze.YOUR GUIDE THROUGH POST-TRUTH AMERICA☑ Decode the psychological mechanics of belief, influence, fear, and violence☑ Break out of groupthink and examine the cost of political polarization☑ Explore how media in America drives identity, division, and dissent☑ Understand the fallout of cancel culture and an information ecosystem that fosters mass distrust☑ A rare blend of investigative journalism, sociology, and philosophical reflectionWHY THIS BOOK STANDS APARTNot Left. Not Right. Just Real.Sher writes from outside the ideological trenches, challenging both woke politics and alt-right culture with compassion and clarity.The Story Behind the SpinThis is more than a conspiracy theory book. It's a humane look at why narratives go viral, and how misinformation and paranoia affect the soul of a nation.For the Politically HomelessIf you feel burned out, disillusioned, or intellectually orphaned since Trump's rise to power, this book meets you where you are, explains why so many Americans feel the same way, and charts a path forward.Emotionally Intelligent, Intellectually BravePerfect for readers who follow Bari Weiss, Jonathan Haidt, Glenn Greenwald, or anyone seeking to understand how the events of 2020 and beyond have shaped our current reality.Whether you're searching for answers to explain the results of the 2024 election or meaning in the chaos of a world at war, The Social Contagion is a bold, necessary read.Unplug from the noise.

It's the end, the end of the Seventies.It was a decade that had started with Edison Lighthouse and ended with Another Brick in the wall. After 221 number one singles, the decade that had given us everything from Bowie to Bell bottoms, from Chopper bikes to Chiquitita, Glam to Punk, and Sapphire to Steel, was closing down - and at a sensible hour too!On the 31st December 1979, Kenny Everett asked the (more discerning) viewers on ITV, if he would indeed make it 1980. With the iconic help of Roxy Music, David Bowie, The Boomtown Rats and many more, he just about crossed over into that new decade. But really listens, the future was already with us.And yes, 1979 did seem rather grim - a winter of discontent, political upheaval, TV strikes and terrorism. But isn't this exactly the kind of period when popular culture and significantly POP, POP, POP MUZIK comes to save us all? The kids were indeed, alright!So, in the company of some very special guests - singer/songwriter and pop legend Nick Heyward and Record Collector's very own Daryl Easlea - as we revisit the cultural tsunami that is the NOW Yearbook 1979. Rediscover a glittering embarrassment of 7” smashes from the likes of Sparks, Chic, Blondie, Squeeze, Ian Dury & the Blockheads, Roxy Music. The list, just like the glorious pages of Daryl's 1979 diary goes on and on.As well as sharing his fabulous boxset, 1993–1998: The Epic & Creation Years, Nick tells us about how important 1979 was in shaping his own musical journey. From the early days of (what would become) Haircut 100, to rediscovering kitchen sink somewhere up a junction, to defining a look and sound as the seventies morphed into the eighties. We explore the sounds of 1979 - from XTC to The Knack, from Rainbow to Sad Cafe (yes, really!), how punk was evolving into New wave, which was evolving into New Pop which… (yes, we get the idea: Ed)And also how video wasn't exactly killing the radio star, but through visuals a new age was really dawning for pop. So, lets take a One Way Ticket, One Step Beyond some Parisienne Walkways (we're not keeping these in! Ed)1979.Wow, indeed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Have you been so caught up in your day-to-day that you've forgotten what it feels like to live your day, not just get through it?In this episode, we explore just it is to let stress and routine distort your perspective, making a hard day feel like a hard life. But what if the truth is, everything is actually okay… you're just zoomed in too far?In this episode I'll share my own story of nearly hitting a breaking point, then finding surprising peace, not by fixing anything, but by stepping out of the cycle. One impulsive decision to chase a sunset led to perspective, presence, and the perfect Shanghainese dumplings. It's a reminder that a bad day doesn't equate to a bad life, that zooming out gives perspective to life's stressors, and that life's magic moments rarely show up in your planner.Questions to ask yourself:Are you zooming in on your life's problems?If you zoom out and look at the big picture, how is your life really? What really matters?What can you do to invite more of the "feeling of aliveness" into your day?To subscribe, comment, or ask a question, visit www.donnyraus.com.

Waylon shares a counter-intuitive, Buddhist-inspired tip for those struggling to find motivation—whether you're an entrepreneur, a parent, a teacher, or simply a human who has to "produce something." If we have to do something, have to earn something, want to accomplish something...well, we all sometimes struggle. " If you're struggling to 'produce' at work, take a step back. Pressure won't help. That's burnout and doesn't create great work or good leadership. Rediscover your motivation. Do something fun or kind for yourself. Then jump back in, with mission harnessed to motivation. You got this!" ~ Waylon H. Lewis
