What happens when we lose our sense of purpose? In this deeply personal conversation, Martin sits down with his friend Rockstar Turtle (Ivan) who opens up about his ongoing journey of self-discovery, breaking harmful cycles, and finding himself again after feeling burnt out and lost.The raw vulnerability on display is powerful as Ivan shares his experiences breaking free from porn addiction, discovering the healing power of journaling, and learning to overcome generational patterns—particularly within Hispanic culture where mental health struggles are often dismissed with phrases like "just get over it." Their honest dialogue about therapy challenges the stigma many men face when seeking help, acknowledging their own past resistance while recognizing how valuable professional support can be for mental wellbeing.What makes this conversation so relatable is how it balances the heaviness of personal struggles with practical steps toward growth. Ivan details how meditation, breathing techniques, physical exercise, and an upcoming social media detox have become essential tools in his journey. His determination to become more confident in his words, to let his actions speak louder than talk, and to rediscover his artistic passion resonates with anyone who's ever felt stuck or disconnected from their purpose.The friendship between these two men provides a beautiful backdrop to this conversation, demonstrating how crucial supportive relationships are when navigating life's challenges. As Ivan prepares for a month of intentional self-work and reflection, his vulnerability serves as permission for listeners to examine their own lives and consider where they might need to press reset.Need support with your mental health? Remember that seeking help is an act of courage, not weakness. Take that deep breath, reach out to someone you trust, and know that growth—though challenging—brings the freedom to become who you're truly meant to be.

In this episode of The Creative Podcast, we sit down with filmmaker and entrepreneur Nur Niaz about his transition from commercial directing to building a successful YouTube channel and online business. Nur shares how political instability and economic challenges in Kazakhstan pushed him to pivot careers, leading to newfound creative and growing financial freedom as an artist. He discusses the struggle of balancing artistry with business, overcoming self-doubt, and redefining his identity beyond traditional filmmaking. Nur also reflects on the importance of community, valuing friendships outside of the creative industry while seeking a network of like-minded individuals. He shares how YouTube became both a business and a creative outlet, allowing him to monetize his content through digital products and ads while shifting to a more exploratory, documentary-style approach to filmmaking. He opens up about his struggles with depression, the role of therapy, and how honest communication with his wife helped him navigate his lowest moments. The conversation also sparks reflection in Carlo, making him question his own creative path and how to balance personal fulfillment with career evolution.Nur Niaz:  ⁠Instagram | ⁠WebsiteCarlo: ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Website⁠⁠The Creative Gap:⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ |⁠ ⁠Youtube⁠⁠SUPPORT THE PODCAST ON⁠ ⁠PATREON⁠____________________________________________________⚙️ GEAR USED TO MAKE THIS PODCAST:Rodecaster Pro II: ⁠https://amzn.to/3RluSeV⁠Rode Podmic: ⁠https://amzn.to/3RpaR77⁠Mic Stand: ⁠https://amzn.to/4caJUfi⁠Camera 1: ⁠https://amzn.to/45h5E7b⁠Camera 2: ⁠https://amzn.to/45g8iKx⁠Light: ⁠https://amzn.to/3KK6XSt⁠

she had to decide.Hu: Beszéljen, vagy elhallgasson?En: Should she speak, or remain silent?Hu: A szíve zakatolt, de érzései már nem voltak homályosak.En: Her heart raced, but her feelings were no longer unclear.Hu: Tudta, hogy nem menekülhet örökké.En: She knew she couldn't run away forever.Hu: "Beszélnünk kell," mondta végül és a víz tompa hullámai elnyelték a hangját, mégis minden szó tisztán csengett.En: "We need to talk," she finally said, and though the dull waves of the water swallowed her voice, each word rang clear.Hu: A víz langyosan ölelte körül őket, ahogy beszélgettek.En: The tepid water embraced them as they talked.Hu: Megosztották a bennük maradt kérdéseket, kimondatlan szavakat.En: They shared the questions that remained within them, the unspoken words.Hu: Bálint elmondta, mennyire sajnálja, hogy sosem adtak esélyt arra, hogy lezárják a dolgokat.En: Bálint expressed how sorry he was that they never had the chance to close things properly.Hu: Ágota pedig felismerte, hogy múltjuk terhéből semmi nem maradt, csak az, amit magával cipel.En: Ágota realized that of the burdens of their past, none remained except what she carried with her.Hu: A levegő valahogy könnyedebbé vált körülöttük, amikor befejezték a beszélgetést.En: The air somehow became lighter around them as they finished their conversation.Hu: A csend már nem volt kényelmetlen.En: The silence was no longer uncomfortable.Hu: Mindketten más emberek lettek.En: They had both become different people.Hu: Bálint mosolya immár csak szelíd köszöntés volt, nem egy régi szerelem visszhangja.En: Bálint's smile was now just a gentle greeting, not an echo of an old love.Hu: Ágota érezte, hogy valami megoldódott benne.En: Ágota felt that something within her had resolved.Hu: Búcsút intettek egymásnak, és amikor Ágota újra a vízbe merült, egész lényében könnyűség kalapált.En: They bid farewell to each other, and as Ágota submerged herself in the water again, a sense of lightness pulsed through her entire being.Hu: Katalin rámosolygott, tudván, hogy barátnője új fejezet előtt áll.En: Katalin smiled at her, knowing that her friend stood before a new chapter.Hu: Közelebb sodródtak a széllel hintett gőz ködéhez, Ágota úgy érezte, mintha újra szabad lenne.En: As they drifted closer to the fog tinged with the wind, Ágota felt as if she were free once more.Hu: Aznap a fürdő igazi szentéllyé vált számára, húzóerő a jövő felé.En: That day, the bath became a true sanctuary for her, a pulling force toward the future.

Her undergraduate degree from DePauw University reinforced an early love for literature and writing, while the heavy sprinkling of liberal-arts fairy dust taught her how to analyze and articulate a clear point of view. She rounded out this foundation with concentrations in marketing and operations from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. Her marketing career included work with several global brands, including IMAX, Martha Stewart, Girl Scouts of the USA, and Adobe. Gormley was honored as one of 2015's Forty Women to Watch over 40, and she has been featured in Forbes and the CMO Club. In June 2019, she was invited to deliver the class address at her DePauw University class reunion and regrets not having her hair blown out. Today, Gormley owns a contemporary art gallery, Sarah Gormley Gallery (SGG), in downtown Columbus, Ohio. The gallery operates based on the belief that original art can be a source of joy for everyone and actively eschews pretense of any kind. She opened the gallery in 2019, twenty-five years after Grandma Cameron gifted her with her first piece of art.  Additional ResourcesWeb: sarahgormley.comInstagram: @scgormleyLinkedIn: @SarahGormleySupport the show-------- Stay Connected www.leighburgess.com Watch the episodes on YouTube Follow Leigh on Instagram: @theleighaburgess Follow Leigh on LinkedIn: @LeighBurgess Sign up for Leigh's bold newsletter

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop interviews Yaron Brook, chairman of the Ayn Rand Institute and host of "The Yaron Brook Show" on YouTube. They explore a range of topics including the recent political developments in Argentina with the rise of libertarian figure Javier Milei, the intersection of libertarianism and religion, and critiques of anarcho-capitalism. Yaron Brook also shares his thoughts on how culture and politics shape freedom, the significance of reason, and the role of technology in shaping the future.

This moment represents a test of libertarian principles in governance, but it also highlights the challenges libertarians face when trying to implement free-market policies in a culture that hasn't fully embraced the underlying philosophical foundation of liberty.The Contradiction of Anarcho-Capitalism: Brook explains why he believes anarcho-capitalism is a contradiction in terms. He argues that capitalism requires a government to enforce laws, protect individual rights, and maintain a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. Without such an authority, he contends that society would descend into chaos, resembling a cartel-dominated environment like that of Mexico, where competing factions destroy markets rather than protect them.Libertarianism's Philosophical Weakness: A recurring theme in the conversation is the critique of libertarianism's philosophical inconsistency. Brook contrasts libertarianism with objectivism, which he sees as a more coherent and philosophically grounded worldview. He criticizes libertarians for embracing a "big tent" approach that allows for religious and anarchist factions, which dilutes the movement's commitment to reason, individualism, and true freedom.Religion and Libertarianism: The conversation touches on the influence of religion within the libertarian movement, particularly in Milei's case. Brook acknowledges that many libertarians are religious, but he argues that objectivism, as an atheistic philosophy, offers a more consistent framework for defending individual rights. He expresses concern that religious elements in Milei's platform, such as his anti-abortion stance, could undermine the broader goal of achieving a society based on individual freedom.The Role of Culture in Political Change: Brook emphasizes that lasting political change requires a corresponding cultural shift. He argues that while Milei may implement free-market policies, the Argentine culture remains largely statist. Without a cultural embrace of individualism, personal responsibility, and reason, Brook is skeptical that Milei's reforms can succeed in the long term. He warns that politics is downstream of culture, and real freedom must be rooted in a philosophical commitment to individual rights.Technology as a Double-Edged Sword: In discussing the future of freedom, Brook points to the potential of technology to both advance and suppress liberty. While technological innovation, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, offers hope for economic growth and efficiency, Brook cautions that these tools can also be used by authoritarian regimes to tighten their control over citizens. He uses China's use of AI for surveillance and social credit systems as an example of how technology can be weaponized against freedom.The Misalignment of Libertarians with Authoritarian Leaders: Brook criticizes certain libertarians, especially in the U.S., for aligning themselves with authoritarian figures like Trump and Putin. He contrasts this with Milei's foreign policy, which he admires for being pro-American and pro-Israel, and for rejecting alliances with authoritarian regimes like China and Russia. Brook warns that libertarians who associate with authoritarian leaders are damaging the movement's credibility and principles.
