People will get on your nerves. They will misunderstand you, disappoint you, irritate you, and sometimes flat-out offend you.The question is: what happens inside YOUR heart when they do?Preaching from Romans 15:5, this message challenges Christians to take a spiritual “fit check.” Scripture calls us to clothe ourselves with mercy, kindness, humility, patience, forgiveness, and love. When those things disappear, our relationships aren't the only thing that suffers. Our effectiveness for God suffers too.Unity does not mean everybody has the same personality or never disagrees. It means we refuse to let offense, pride, insecurity, competition, and bitterness destroy what God is trying to accomplish through His people.In this message: Why your relationships reveal what's happening spiritually How offense can slowly change your heart Why talented people can still destroy team chemistry The connection between unity and spiritual strength How correction keeps us spiritually “in tune” Why sometimes you simply have to be the bigger personChapters00:00 - Warm greeting and report from New Zealand churches00:31 - Raratonga missionary church launched with strong turnout00:59 - Honoring the faith of earlier leaders and turning to Romans 1501:24 - Airport lounge dress code story sets up the sermon theme02:33 - Inner “fit check” versus outward appearance03:01 - Romans 15:5 and the call to live in harmony03:21 - Marriage feast parable and the wrong garment05:00 - God notices what is on the inside06:22 - “Fitting for followers of Christ” means suitable for our calling07:23 - Police conduct and what unbecoming behavior looks like for disciples08:24 - Disunity in church relationships as a fit check failure09:21 - Power adapter illustration and why connection affects spiritual power10:48 - Rehoboam, leadership, and the danger of not serving people well11:39 - Philippians 4 and the call for brothers and sisters to agree in harmony12:38 - Clothing ourselves with mercy, kindness, humility, patience, and forgiveness14:44 - Unity matters because the church is an army at war15:53 - Why God will not bless a church that is not united16:22 - Connect with God first when relationships get strained17:47 - Patience under pressure and learning to endure without breaking18:16 - Spiritual conductors and the need for correction20:21 - Philippians 2 and being of one mind, one love, one purpose20:53 - World Cup and football chemistry as an image of teamwork23:20 - Redwood trees and strength through interconnection25:12 - The Boys in the Boat and success through unison28:02 - Psalm 133, Acts 2, and God commanding blessing in unity29:01 - Salvation call and invitation to get right with God30:27 - Challenge to the church to stay team players and pass the fit check34:01 - Personal testimony about becoming more easily agitated over time35:25 - Warning to never stop being the bigger man36:13 - Closing prayer for mercy, humility, forgiveness, and graceNotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you:https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

Asking a simple question I’ve been pondering a deceptively simple question: What makes a photograph good as part of my book club this month? But, before diving into that, a couple of quick announcements! I’ve got some new workshops lined up in 2027 at Badlands, Adventures in the Palouse, and the Oregon Coast and Redwoods. Check out the details on my website. Plus, I’ll be teaching a masterclass called “The Landscape is Language” at the Photographic Center Northwest in November 2026. As for the topic of episode 596, the source of this question comes from re-reading The View from the Studio Door by Ted Orland. In the section Art & Society, Ted comes up with an interesting answer that we will get to at the end of the podcast. Sure, the what is a good photography questionseems like it should have a straightforward answer. We could list out a bunch of qualities: composition, light, color, timing, technical skill, originality, emotion. Maybe a photo resonates because it communicates something important or makes us pause and reflect. So, what are we really talking about when we say a photograph is good? First off, we need to distinguish between “good” and “beautiful.” A photograph can be stunning without really offering much depth. Gorgeous light, perfect composition, beautiful colors—sure, but does it say anything? Conversely, a photograph can be rough around the edges but still pack an emotional punch.  Good isn’t necessarily beautiful First off, we need to distinguish between “good” and “beautiful.” A photograph can be stunning without really offering much depth. Gorgeous light, perfect composition, beautiful colors—sure, but does it say anything? Conversely, a photograph can be rough around the edges but still pack an emotional punch. Who gets to decide? Who determines what makes a photograph good? Is it because I like it? A critic? Other photographers? Does it matter if it's hanging in a museum or selling at auction? Or is it simply about whether the creator feels they achieved what they set out to do? The more I reflect, the more I realize there isn’t a universal standard for art—and maybe that's just fine. What if we judged the “goodness” of a photograph by its impact? – Does it make me stop? – Does it hold my gaze? – Does it shift my perspective? – Does it make me uncomfortable or curious? – Does it inspire creativity in me? Can a Bad Photograph Still Be Good? Suppose I take a photograph that falls flat. You have them too. You know the ones with bad composition, poor lighting, missing the mark entirely. On its own, it might not see the light of day. But what if that photo leads me to create ten better ones? What if it highlights what I don't want in my work or points me toward an unexpected direction? Does that still make it a bad photograph? Aesthetically, sure. Creatively, it could be invaluable. It makes me wonder if we're sometimes asking the wrong questions about art. Instead of “Is this good?” maybe we should be asking, “What did this make possible?” We don’t make masterpieces one at a time I feel like photographers can get caught up in the notion that their work is a collection of standalone images. You make a picture, then another, and it's easy to obsess over which ones are the “good” ones. But that’s not really how creativity works. It is a journey for us to follow, and the most important photographs aren’t necessarily the strongest ones; it might be the one that reshapes everything that follows Ted’s key point with the photograph as a stepping stone Ted Orland has this concept I keep returning to: a piece of work can be deemed good if it helps you move toward the next piece. I love this idea because it eases the pressure on each photograph. It doesn’t have to be the final say; it can be a question, an experiment, or even a failure.

Join us for episode two of MCIE's "Think Inclusive" four-part series in collaboration with Think College, as Tim Villegas travels to the University of California, Davis, to visit the Redwood SEED Scholars Program — California's first four-year residential college program for students with intellectual disabilities, and the first at any UC campus. SEED stands for Supported Education to Elevate Diversity, and the name comes from an unlikely grove of redwood trees growing in the Central Valley heat, holding each other up by their shallow, interlocking roots. It's a fitting image for a program built on community: scholars live in the dorms, take UC Davis classes across 27 different departments, work paid jobs on campus and in town, and are surrounded by more than 170 paid peer mentors.The story starts with founding director Beth Foraker, her son Patrick, and a blister on a Friday night in a Virginia dorm room — the moment she understood what her state was failing to offer its young adults with intellectual disabilities. From there, this episode follows the program's fast, improbable build (a $2.1 million federal TPSID grant in October 2020, first scholars on campus by August 2021), the "ladder of opportunity" that moves scholars from internships into careers with employers like UC Davis Logistics and the Mondavi Center, and what happened to the program's first graduating class: eighty-eight percent living independently, all of them working, none of them with a job coach. Along the way, senior scholar Audrey Schlossberg, ticket office manager Amy Roark, and logistics director Jen Carmichael make the case that inclusive higher education changes campuses and communities as much as it changes students — and Beth makes an argument she thinks the whole country needs to hear about building four-year programs with inclusive living.Complete show notes and transcript: https://mcie.org/think-inclusive/redwood-seed-scholars-roots-that-hold-each-other-up-1341/This episode was made possible with generous support from Think College.

What if the fastest way through AI transformation is actually to slow down? On this sixth anniversary episode, Lori Adams-Brown unpacks the hidden cost of speed-first AI adoption, and why the leaders who listen before they build are the ones whose people actually stay. EPISODE DESCRIPTION Six years ago I started this podcast because I believed the world needed more curious, human-centered leaders. Today, on our sixth anniversary, I am bringing you one of the most important solo episodes I have ever recorded. The AI race is real. The pressure is real. And the cost most organizations are not measuring is also real. In this episode I introduce the Speed Tax: the cumulative cost an organization pays, in trust, adoption, performance, and retention, when it deploys AI at speed without the culture architecture to support it. I share the story of a small nocturnal animal in the forests of Sumatra, the data from a landmark Harvard Business Review study, a proof point from a Fortune 100 AI hardware company, and a framework that HR and people strategy leaders can use starting Monday. If you lead people through change, this one is for you. Topic bullets: The story of Kopi Luwak coffee and the Asian palm civet, and what its slow, deliberate selection process teaches us about AI deployment The Speed Tax: the cumulative cost organizations pay in trust, adoption, and retention when AI moves faster than the culture that supports it New research from Harvard Business Review, Boston Consulting Group, and the Henderson Institute on "AI brain fry," including sharply higher rates of poor decision-making and quit intent among overloaded workers The Four Pillars of Culture Architecture for AI Transformation: voice before velocity, designing for transfer, building trust architecture, and measuring what actually matters A real case study from a Fortune 100 AI hardware company, including a 15% ROI improvement from an AI coaching agent built by listening first Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome and the coffee-in-hand grounding ritual 01:44 Why this is a solo episode 03:07 Speed, quality, cost: the leadership triangle 04:49 The Honda Prologue and values-driven decisions 07:02 Kopi Luwak, the civet, and what slow selection teaches us 11:39 Introducing the Speed Tax 12:59 Symptoms: low adoption, eroding trust, transformation fatigue 14:44 The HBR/BCG "AI brain fry" study 17:25 Case study: a Fortune 100 AI hardware company 18:21 Building an AI coaching agent by listening first 20:35 The Four Pillars of Culture Architecture for AI Transformation 22:44 Two closing images: the Waymo and the Redwoods 27:15 The Speed Tax Diagnostic and the Slow Down to Win workshop LINKS AND RESOURCES The Speed Tax Diagnostic (free) Take it online, download the PDF, or use it with your team, a free three-question self-assessment to see where your organization is paying the cost of speed right now: www.bravaglobaladvisory.com/speedtax The Slow Down to Win Workshop Half-day intensive for HR and people strategy leaders.

Old Testament: Genesis 28:10-19a 10Jacob left Beer-sheba and went toward Haran. 11He came to a certain place and stayed there for the night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place. 12And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, the top of it reaching to heaven; and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13And the Lord stood beside him and said, "I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring; 14and your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you and in your offspring. 15Know that I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you." 16Then Jacob woke from his sleep and said, "Surely the Lord is in this place—and I did not know it!" 17And he was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven." 18So Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. 19He called that place Bethel. Psalm: Psalm 139:1-11, 22-23  1 Lord, you have searched me out and known me; *        you know my sitting down and my rising up;        you discern my thoughts from afar. 2 You trace my journeys and my resting-places *        and are acquainted with all my ways. 3 Indeed, there is not a word on my lips, *        but you, O Lord, know it altogether. 4 You press upon me behind and before *        and lay your hand upon me. 5 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; *        it is so high that I cannot attain to it. 6 Where can I go then from your Spirit? *        where can I flee from your presence? 7 If I climb up to heaven, you are there; *        if I make the grave my bed, you are there also. 8 If I take the wings of the morning *        and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 9 Even there your hand will lead me *        and your right hand hold me fast. 10 If I say, "Surely the darkness will cover me, *        and the light around me turn to night," 11 Darkness is not dark to you;    the night is as bright as the day; *        darkness and light to you are both alike. 22 Search me out, O God, and know my heart; *        try me and know my restless thoughts. 23 Look well whether there be any wickedness in me *        and lead me in the way that is everlasting. Epistle: Romans 8:12-25 12So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 15For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" 16it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. 18I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us. 19For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God; 20for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now; 23and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? 25But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Gospel: Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 24He put before them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field; 25but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away. 26So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. 27And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where, then, did these weeds come from?' 28He answered, 'An enemy has done this.' The slaves said to him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them?' 29But he replied, 'No; for in gathering the weeds you would uproot the wheat along with them. 30Let both of them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.'" 36Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples approached him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field." 37He answered, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; 38the field is the world, and the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the weeds are the children of the evil one, 39and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40Just as the weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age.41The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, 42and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let anyone with ears listen!

This is the story of my rock and roll butler. Welcome to the Rock and Roll Geek Show. 00:00:23 My name is Michael Butler. Thanks a lot for joining me. I really appreciate it. 00:00:26 Today is Wednesday, July 13th, 2026. It’s 5-12 when I’m recording this episode. I am in Cheyenne, Wyoming. 00:00:37 We’re at a place called Little America. I’m with the beautiful, undisclosed person and friend of the show, Ken Grossman. Hey, Michael. 00:00:45 Hey, Ken. I saw Ken back in, when did we play Denver? June? 00:00:54 June of last year. Sometime last year, we played the Grizzly Rose in Denver, Colorado and Ken showed up along with a couple other friends of the show came as well. JB Skulls showed up and somebody else showed up too. 00:01:12 Nice to see you, Ken. You made a two-hour drive all the way to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Hey, just to see you, man. 00:01:18 I really appreciate it. It’s nice to see friends of the show. Long time. 00:01:22 You’re looking good. Oh, thanks. Yeah. 00:01:25 How old are you? What are you, 35? Something like that? 00:01:27 We’re actually the same age, believe it or not. I told him, he got here about the same time we did and he recognized the Ryder truck. It’s not Ryder, the Penske truck. 00:01:36 I’m in a Penske truck driving across the country all the way. We’re on I-80 the entire way. We left San Francisco, got on I-80. We have been on I-80 the entire time, so it’s going to go I-80 all the way to New York, 00:01:51 an undisclosed location in New York. If you are in I-80 anywhere along that route, anywhere east of Cheyenne, Wyoming and would like to meet up, friends, rockandrollgeek at gmail.com or hit me up on the Facebook or Instagram. 00:02:11 I would love to have a beer with you. We are having a fine … What are we drinking here? 00:02:15 Modelo. Fine Modelo’s and the koozie. Kim’s got the Yeti knockoff koozie. I got the extra-tough soft koozie and beautiful undisclosed, Raquel has also a purple Yeti 00:02:30 knockoff koozie as well from Walmart. Take a sip of this fine Modelo. Cheers. 00:02:37 Cheers. Ah, so we were in … Where were we last night? 00:02:44 Not Elko. We were in Evansville. Evanston. 00:02:47 Evanston, Wyoming in the middle of nowhere. We were going to look for a dive bar and there was no Uber, but the guy at the front desk, we stayed at the … Something or other by Win Comfort Inn or something like that. 00:03:08 Anyway, it was a very nice Indian gentleman. No offense to Indian gentlemen, but when I looked in, the lobby was a little bit dirty and the Indian gentleman was eating curry or something and I got a little bit scared. There was going to be a shitty hotel, but it was a nice … It wasn’t bad and he was 00:03:25 a very nice man. He said, well, there’s a taxi service that’ll take you anywhere. Toss 10 bucks anywhere you want to go. 00:03:34 I said, okay, that sounds good. We went up to the room, brought our stuff up and said, we want to go to Spanky’s Bar. Do you know where Spanky’s Bar is? 00:03:41 Yeah, I know where it is. It’s the female taxi driver, but I got to tell you, we’re closing at nine and it was 8.15, so we said, all right, I guess we got to drive the Penske truck. 00:03:55 I really don’t want to get pulled over for drunk driving in a Penske 16-foot truck. That would suck. As we’re pulling out of the hotel, or I should say motel, it’s more like a motel, whatever, we’re pulling out of the motel and about 100 feet past the driveway, we saw the Highway 30 or Highway 80 saloon. 00:04:17 Tavern. Tavern, whatever. Oh, there it is. We drove the Penske truck back to the hotel, slash motel, parked and walked to the saloon 00:04:27 or whatever it was called. We’re looking at places. Where are we going to stop? 00:04:32 Where are we going to stop? We don’t know where we’re going to stop. We had no idea. 00:04:35 I said, oh, I guess I’m going to have to blow Chris Grossman off. Not blow him, but blow him off. I didn’t want to do that. Why don’t we make it an easy drive and drive to Cheyenne and I’ll tell Ken, hey, maybe 00:04:54 we can meet halfway or somewhere. This bartender was there and she saw us looking for places and we were kind of getting cranky with each other and kind of arguing about where we were going to stay. If I piss her off, Raquel, I start getting really bummed out and I start crying in public. 00:05:10 I didn’t want to piss her off. The bartender came up and she says, oh, were you guys … She knew we were traveling. 00:05:15 She gave us some pointers. She told us to stay in Cheyenne. We booked a place called Little America in Cheyenne. 00:05:23 You go down, you’re driving down the freeway and you see $1 ice cream cones. It’s kind of like a Buc-ee’s. All these Buc-ee’s ads. 00:05:33 Have you ever been to Buc-ee’s? Have you ever been to Buc-ee’s, Ken? We have a Buc-ee’s. 00:05:36 Oh, you have a Buc-ee’s up here? We have one. We haven’t seen it yet. 00:05:39 It’s probably about 50 miles from here. If you’ve never been to Buc-ee’s, have you been to Buc-ee’s, Raquel? No. 00:05:44 I don’t know it. Buc-ee’s is the … It’s like Disneyland of truck stops. 00:05:48 It is amazing. It is so cool. It’s kind of like Buc-ee’s. 00:05:54 I don’t know where I was going with this. Anyway, we said, oh, Little America. I guess we’re staying at a place called Buc-ee’s. 00:06:00 We pull into this place. It’s a resort. I mean, it’s really nice. 00:06:03 There’s a golf course here and it’s a really nice lobby. The girls were dressed in Western. They have the uniform. 00:06:10 Wrangler. The uniforms are Wrangler denim outfits. They’re cute girls. 00:06:14 They’re younger. Maybe they look like they were 18 years old, but, Ken, I don’t know what you’re into. We all wish. 00:06:22 Cute girls. We all wish. So here we are in the room of the Little America Resort and met Ken Grossman. 00:06:34 It’s nice to see Ken again and we’re going to have a couple of beers. So I just figured I would check in and say goodbye. And Ken, anything you’re not very talkative on this thing. 00:06:46 Ken’s a little… Are you microphone shy? Yes. 00:06:50 So should we put the word out for you on the dating apps? You know Chris Cappell. I don’t know if you know Chris Cappell. 00:06:56 I know of him. He’s the king of the dating apps and he’s always getting all kinds of girls from the dating apps. So if any hot girls out there are looking for a good looking guy in the Denver area. 00:07:09 Really handsome. Beautiful eyes. The seal of approval from Raquel. 00:07:15 Hazel. They’re really beautiful hazel eyes. Long lashes. 00:07:20 Really gorgeous. He’s got a brand new camper as well. You can go glamping with Ken Grossman. 00:07:31 All right, friends. Thank you for this. Thank you for joining us. 00:07:33 Thank you for listening to this update. Oh, I also want to thank Dan Garawan. Sent me a Penske truck donation. 00:07:40 Thank you, Dan Garawan. $100 Penske truck donation. The Penske truck costs five grand, including the insurance. 00:07:47 So I appreciate the help, Dan Garawan. I will talk to you tomorrow, friends. We’re not going to talk to him tomorrow? 00:07:56 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. 00:07:58 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ll talk to you tomorrow, friends. In keeping with the road shows, you know, the songs with road in the title, I’m going 00:08:06 to play, how about The Road Below Me from D.A.D.? 00:08:12 Thanks for listening, friends. Rockandrollgeek.com. 00:08:15 Ken Grossman, thanks for coming, friend. We’re going to go to a place called the Crown Bar and have some drinks and some food. It’s either that or the Rooster Saloon. 00:08:25 What is it? Redwood. The Redwood Saloon. 00:08:28 I don’t know what the fuck it’s called. The Redwood Saloon or the Rooster Saloon. I think we’re going to try the Crown Bar, and if that sucks, we’ll head to the Rooster Saloon. 00:08:37 Ken’s going to drive us because we don’t want to drive the Penske truck. There’s not room for three in the truck. Well, you’d have to sit in the middle. 00:08:46 I don’t want to sit in the back. All my shit in the back of a Penske truck, friends. Still made it without getting pulled over or knocked wood. 00:08:55 Here’s D.A.D., rockandrollgeek.com, rockandrollgeek.gmail.com is how you can find me. 00:08:59 How can we reach you, Ken? Are you on the Instagrams or anything? I am not. 00:09:02 I get booted off of Facebook. For doing what? Somebody hacked my account, so they booted me off. 00:09:09 Huh. They boot you off for somebody hacking your account? Yup. 00:09:12 How does that work? That’s okay. Do they put pictures? 00:09:15 I have no idea what they did. Yeah. I didn’t want to be on there anyway. 00:09:19 Ken Grossman can’t be found on social media. I’m not a social guy.

I'm delighted to welcome author and explorer Levison Wood to Highclere, where we talk about my great love; trees and his book, The Great Tree Story: how forests have shaped our world. Levison shares how studying the Grand Tour at university inspired his lifelong passion for travel and storytelling, from hitchhiking across Europe and Central Asia to serving as an officer in the Parachute Regiment and deploying to Afghanistan. He recalls founding a production company and undertaking extraordinary long-distance walks, including nine months walking the White Nile from its farthest source to the Mediterranean, followed by the length of the Himalayas and other epic routes. We explore what drew him to write about trees, especially an experience with the Asháninka in the Amazon and we discuss ancient yews, cedars, redwoods, Highclere's planting of 22,000 trees and his plans to adapt The Great Tree Story into a feature documentary.01:05 Grand Tour Roots03:26 Modern Travel Risks04:56 Army Years and Afghanistan05:49 From Soldier to Storyteller07:31 Walking the Nile09:06 More Epic Expeditions10:33 Planning and Logistics12:31 Highclere Explorer Heritage14:30 Why Trees Matter17:32 Ancient Trees and Estate Planting19:42 Redwoods and Tree Lore23:29 Trees in Culture and Craft24:33 Green Man and Next FilmYou can hear more episodes of Lady Carnarvon's Official Podcasts at https://www.ladycarnarvon.com/podcast/New episodes are published on the first day of every month.

What if the feelings you've been most afraid to feel are the exact ones keeping you from the pleasure, the magic, and the life you most desire? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with Dr. Laura Berman, PhD scientist, sex and relationship therapist of 30 years, and author of 10 books including Sex Magic and her newest, Crying Out Loud: A Path Through Grief into Life Reimagined. Dr. Berman's story is one of the most remarkable Emily has ever shared on this show. After losing her mother to breast cancer and developing the same cancer in the same breast within a year, Laura recognized the connection between unexpressed grief and physical illness. Then, five years ago, her 16-year-old son Sammy was killed by an accidental fentanyl poisoning sent to him through Snapchat. What happened next, a week alone in the Redwoods, a voice at the beach, and a complete surrender into the pain, led to the discovery that changed everything: there is a bottom. It takes about three minutes. And going all the way into grief does not take you under. It sets you free. This conversation directly illuminates what Emily teaches inside Ziva Magic: all feelings come through the same channel. When you suppress grief and rage, you suppress pleasure and ecstasy. The willingness to stretch your emotional capacity is the same thing as stretching your capacity for magic. In this episode, they explore: – Why all feelings come through the same channel, and what you lose when you block the ones that hurt – The science of emotional inflammation and its direct connection to physical illness – Quantum entanglement and why the people closest to you energetically match your state in real time – The "home frequency" of coherence, how to recognize it, lose it, and return to it – Why going all the way into grief does not break you, and what waits on the other side – How Dr. Berman continued a relationship with her son across the frequency divide after his death – What spiritually bypassing grief actually costs us, and what embodied alchemy looks like instead – The grief retreat model she built for other parents and the Grief Healing Collective she runs today – Why one person holding a higher frequency counteracts 70,000 people in darkness Key Moments: 00:00 – All feelings through the same channel: the conversation begins 01:53 – Introducing Dr. Laura Berman 04:10 – From 3D relationship work to quantum and metaphysical 07:37 – Her mother's death, breast cancer, and the reawakening 09:13 – Quantum entanglement and real-time energetic matching 12:51 – Home frequency: what it is and how to return 19:13 – Reality expands and collapses based on state of consciousness 24:25 – Why we resist grief 29:06 – The science of emotional capacity and the single channel 31:07 – Sammy's death and what came next 33:23 – The voice: "Do you want to live or die?" 35:29 – Into the Redwoods: discovering there is a bottom 39:28 – Raising her frequency to meet her son in the middle 43:16 – Writing the book and building the retreat model 48:37 – The fear of opening a bottomless pit 51:15 – There is a bottom. Three minutes. You will not lose yourself. 54:45 – Why we apologize for crying and what Crying Out Loud reclaims 01:01:40 – One person holding higher frequency counteracts 70,000 01:04:30 – Where to find Laura and how to get the book About Dr. Laura Berman Dr. Laura Berman is a PhD scientist, sex and relationship therapist, researcher, and author of 10 books. Her newest, Crying Out Loud: A Path Through Grief into Life Reimagined, is available for pre-order now and releases October 20. She runs the Grief Healing Collective and grief retreats for parents, and her free resources are available at healwithlaurea.com. Social Media: @drlauraberman and @griefhealingcollective for grief healing related content Pre-Order Dr. Laura's book: Crying Out Loud If this conversation moved you, the work of feeling it to heal it, of alchemizing emotion into fuel rather than suppressing it into static, is what's opening this summer at Ziva.

Three retired loggers, five encounters, and a run of deep timber none of them could ever explain. In this episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories I share firsthand Sasquatch accounts I gathered over the better part of two years from three men who spent their working lives cutting timber across the Pacific Northwest and the Mountain West in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.You'll meet them by first name only, the way they asked, as Earl, Roy, and Hollis, three plainspoken men with no books to sell and every reason to keep quiet, who finally set the weight of what they saw down in front of me.Earl was a young choker setter in the Oregon Coast Range in 1958 when something started emptying the crew's lunch buckets and turning up in head-high brush twenty feet away, and three years later, in 1961, he was pinned in a wall tent on a Cascade lake while a slow, heavy weight walked the gravel behind his head.Roy was a redwood faller in Northern California in 1963 when he looked up a hillside gallery of old-growth and watched a near eight-foot figure lay its hand flat against a trunk and knock twice, and heard two knocks answer from across the canyon. Hollis worked the Idaho panhandle and western Montana, where eyeshine paced his truck on a one-lane logging road in 1971, and a scream came down off the slope above a river camp in 1974 that emptied that camp by first light. I came up a skeptic, and I went looking for the place each story breaks. These three didn't break the way a made-up story breaks. What surfaces in all of it, from men who never met and never compared notes, are the same small, specific things: the dog that walks backward into the tent, the smell that arrives a beat ahead of the sight, the wood knocks answered across open ground, and a thing that watched men work and chose, over and over, to let them walk away. Listen for the details, and decide for yourself what these old men carried out of the woods.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods? We want to hear your story.Email your encounter to brian@paranormalworldproductions.com for a chance to be featured on a future episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories.Backwoods Bigfoot Stories is a paranormal storytelling podcast featuring real Bigfoot encounters, Sasquatch sightings, Dogman reports, cryptid experiences, and true scary stories from the backwoods.Follow the show and turn on automatic downloads so you never miss a chilling encounter from the forest.

Somewhere along the way, youth soccer stopped being a game kids play and became a product their parents buy. Dai Redwood has spent years building a program he believes in — most recently as the executive and sporting director at Fremont FC — and he's built a club that runs almost opposite to the rest of the country. No travel tournaments. No badge on the sleeve. Kids who start at U8 and are still there when they graduate. Dai, Craig, and Chad go deep on the part of youth sports nobody markets: the gap between what kids actually need and what the system has learned to sell.We get into:How some clubs choose to chase trophies as a marketing tool. How Fremont FC turns vision and values into something you can see at every practice — high fives, handbooks, and coaches who admit they're still learningThe shiny-new-school analogy that explains every parent who leaves a club their kid lovesWhy we "professionalized the kids — the home kit, the away kit, the third kit — but not the coaches"Relative age effect, late developers, and why picking on impact instead of potential costs us the players who'd actually make itThe private-equity question — Surf, Rush, and Pioneer Sports — and Dai's blunt take on what that money does to a kid's experiencePay-to-play: not the devil, but an abused system — and what an honest version actually looks likeIf your spring just ended in a parking lot full of pop-up tents and trophies nobody will remember, this is the conversation to have before you sign up for the next thing.Dai Redwood is the Executive & Sporting Director of Fremont FC and a veteran of youth soccer development in NorCal.

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

OOTD in redwood preserve

Deep in the California redwoods, beneath a towering owl statue hidden among the trees, robed figures gather around firelight as chants echo through the darkness. For decades, Bohemian Grove has fueled rumors involving secret ceremonies, elite power, occult symbolism, and hidden rituals far from public view. But what if scenes like this are not isolated? In this unsettling episode of Dark Outdoors®, Chester Moore investigates disturbing similarities between the mysterious rituals of Bohemian Grove and terrifying firsthand encounters reported deep in remote wilderness areas. Witnesses describe hooded figures gathered around fires… strange nighttime ceremonies…and mysterious leaders dressed in red standing at the center while others watch from the darkness. The episode also explores the ancient symbolism of the owl across cultures, from Mesoamerican beliefs surrounding death and sorcery to the owl's modern role in secretive ceremonial traditions. Are these merely recurring symbols rooted in human psychology and ancient mythology? Or do the stories point toward something darker hidden deep in the outdoors? From elite gatherings beneath giant owls to terrifying encounters in isolated forests, this episode examines the mystery, fear, and symbolism surrounding one of the strangest recurring images in Dark Outdoors history: the hooded figures in the wilderness.
