This week, I talk with Mark Manson—best known for The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck—about what success really costs and why it often leaves us wanting more. Mark and I go deeper than I've heard him go before: we explore his upbringing, the complex role faith and community have played in his life, and how he's learned to follow his internal compass—even when it meant walking away from huge opportunities. After climbing to the top of the publishing world and getting a taste of Hollywood, Mark has returned to where he started: creating online for the joy of it. This conversation is about more than career moves—it's about identity, meaning, and the choices that define a thoughtful life. If you've ever achieved a big goal and asked, “Now what?”—this one's for you. Let's get to it. In this episode: (00:00) – Intro (02:32) – The golden egg mindset that changed Mark's career (04:49) – Lessons from a “high-volatility” childhood (09:46) – Mark's secret to depth (and viral hits) (13:51) – Losing faith—and what Mark misses most (17:58) – The loneliness no success can solve (28:09) – What real friendship looks like (31:19) – How to go deeper with the people who matter (36:51) – What happens after success? (41:47) – Chasing Hollywood—and hitting a wall (45:38) – Why Mark turned away from traditional media (49:23) – The lingering pull of prestige and the trap of status (50:48) – Why Mark is still in LA—and what he found there (51:40) – How to know what to say yes to (and what to walk away from) (56:27) – What Mark is optimizing for today (59:02) – The one thing Mark wants to be excellent at (01:02:35) – The “shit sandwich” Mark's happy to eat (01:03:58) – Turning down a seven-figure book deal (01:18:28) – YouTube vs writing (01:21:34) – How much thought goes into Mark's content (01:25:04) – Is the business sustainable? (01:27:03) – Reinventing the podcast—again (01:33:19) – Mark's most beautiful future (01:36:33) – Who Mark is becoming Key Takeaways Be the goose, not the egg hunter. Rather than chasing after “golden eggs” of success, become the kind of person who can generate them consistently. Mark's father taught him that real security and fulfillment come from developing your own capacity to create value again and again—not from trying to protect or hoard what you've already made. Choose depth over status when building community. Mark reflects on how true community—like that found in religious, family, or workplace settings—is built on commitment and shared legacy. Recreational groups and hobbies, while enjoyable, often lack the deeper sense of belonging. If you're feeling lonely or disconnected, consider what you're willing to commit to. Build a life that prioritizes fun over status. After years of high-profile projects and burnout, Mark realized that chasing prestige wasn't worth the cost. His new rule: if it's not fun, he doesn't do it. With success comes more invitations to chase status—but the most fulfilled people are those who stay grounded in what brings them joy and meaning. Don't confuse cultural clout with real impact. Despite already having a massive online audience, Mark admits being drawn to traditional media for its perceived prestige. He ultimately found that building directly with his audience—via his creator business and YouTube—was more rewarding and impactful. Recognition is nice, but it shouldn't dictate your creative choices. The best relationships are honest, non-transactional, and earned through time. Deep friendships grow through vulnerability, shared values, and a willingness to say the hard thing. In a world increasingly shaped by status, the relationships that matter most are built on trust, not utility. Get full show notes and links at https://GoodWorkShow.com.

On a quiet afternoon in the Shenandoah Valley, Valley Today host Janet Michael and co-host Kary Haun from Shenandoah County Tourism found themselves tucked away at Flour and Water, a Woodstock favorite, for a special Tourism Tuesday episode. Their guest, Jefferson Burgess, founder and creative force behind BoBirdie Magazine, joins them for a candid conversation about golf, storytelling, and the vibrant community that inspires his work. From Reluctant Golfer to Magazine Founder Jefferson's journey into golf was anything but typical. He confesses that he didn't grow up playing the sport; instead, he was nudged onto the green by colleagues at the Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community, where he worked in marketing and sales for two decades. Initially, golf was simply a way to connect with residents and their families. However, this new hobby soon sparked a bigger idea: a golf magazine. Although Jefferson and a friend produced a first issue, life intervened, and the project was shelved. Years later, after retiring, Jefferson revisited the concept, only to find the media landscape had changed dramatically. Print magazines had faded, digital platforms had risen, and the audience's expectations had evolved. Reinventing the Golf Magazine Recognizing these shifts, Jefferson transformed BoBirdie from a traditional print publication into a dynamic, multi-platform lifestyle magazine. No longer just about improving one's golf game, BoBirdie now celebrates the broader culture surrounding golf—food, travel, art, and the unique stories of the Shenandoah Valley. Kary and Janet note that BoBirdie's appeal extends far beyond golfers. The magazine's stunning photography, engaging storytelling, and focus on local experiences make it a must-read for anyone interested in the Valley's vibrant life. Jefferson emphasizes that the magazine's success comes from collaboration and community input, not just his own vision. Telling Stories Beyond the Green BoBirdie's content reflects the diversity of its audience. For example, one feature highlights a local photographer who rides along on the golf course, not to play, but to capture images of birds. Another article pairs the Valley's best golf courses with its culinary gems, offering readers a taste of the region's hospitality. Jefferson explains that BoBirdie doesn't review courses or critique their conditions. Instead, the magazine focuses on the experience—what it feels like to spend a day in the Valley, enjoying its landscapes, people, and flavors. Community, Collaboration, and Giving Back Throughout the conversation, Jefferson credits the magazine's growth to the support of local organizations and individuals. From tourism boards to small business owners, many contribute ideas and resources, helping BoBirdie thrive. The magazine also gives back, featuring non-profits like First Tee, Habitat for Humanity, and the Veterans Golfers Association. Recently, BoBirdie collaborated with local personality Noah Shenandoah on a creative video project, further blending storytelling, humor, and community spirit. The team's willingness to experiment and embrace new media has only strengthened their connection to the Valley. Where to Find Bo Birdie BoBirdie Magazine is available both in print and online, with distribution at over 200 locations throughout the Valley, including every golf course, select restaurants, and hotels. Readers can also access stories, photography, and back issues on the magazine's website and social media channels. Jefferson encourages anyone with a story to tell or a photo to share to reach out and contribute. As he puts it, BoBirdie is a collective effort, shaped by the Valley's people and their passions. Looking Ahead As the conversation wraps up, Janet and Kary praised the magazine's quality and impact. Jefferson, ever humble, acknowledged the ongoing process of learning and improving with each issue. Ultimately, BoBirdie stands as a testament to the power of community, creativity, and the enduring appeal of a good story—on or off the golf course.

We sit down with newly appointed Houston Auto Show president Rochelle Salinas to unpack what it takes to steer a legacy event through inventory shortages, EV uncertainty, and shifting manufacturer strategies while still delivering experiences people can feel.Rochelle shares concrete updates: Camp Jeep is confirmed, a curated luxury showcase with Modern Luxury is on deck, and outdoor ride-and-drives with Toyota, Subaru, and Stellantis remain a highlight. We're adding expert-led tours that group vehicles by real buyer needs—SUVs, trucks, family cars—so you can compare fast, ask smart questions, and leave informed. Inspired by trips to LA, New York, and Chicago, we're bringing an overlanding zone to Houston, complete with camping setups and Scout partnerships to make it hands-on and family friendly.Community impact gets real with Houston Give Back Day, created with the partner Boat Show to spotlight roughly 20 nonprofits and on-site blood donation. We also celebrate the rapid growth of the student technician competition at Texas State Technical College in Rosenberg—23 teams, scholarships, cash, and tools—building the talent pipeline our industry needs. And for a dose of car culture history, Jeff revisits the Vertipak era, when Chevy shipped Vegas nose-down to pack more cars per railcar, a bold logistics gamble that changed how vehicles move across the country.We close with a detailed review of the 2026 Chevy Trax. It's a small SUV with a big value story: clean design, an excellent infotainment screen, surprisingly lively 1.2-liter turbo performance, and near-30 mpg combined, all at a compelling price point. If you're weighing Trax vs Trailblazer, AWD needs, or interior tech, you'll get the clarity you're looking for.If you enjoyed this conversation, follow and subscribe, share it with a friend who loves cars, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find the show.

What does it take to stay relevant through four decades, across every market cycle, and still have the hunger to build something new? This week, I sat down with Will Rowson, Founder of Newland Capital Partners, to unpack his 35-year journey across global real estate — from gritty East London industrial estates to leading Europe's largest investment platform — and what it really takes to adapt, evolve, and keep learning. Will's career includes senior roles as EMEA CIO at CBRE Investment Management, Equity Partner at Hodes Weill, and CEO of Global Student Accommodation (GSA), where he helped raise over $2 billion in equity. Now, through Newland Capital Partners, he advises leading European managers on capital strategy, equity raising, and navigating a market in flux. We discuss the power of reinvention, lessons from leadership, and where he believes opportunity lies in the "living" and logistics sectors over the next cycle. Key Topics Covered In This Episode: ✅ From Strutt & Parker to CBRE — Lessons from the early days of valuation and leasing ✅ Across the Cycles — What 35 years in European real estate has taught him about timing ✅ Facing Cancer — How a life-changing diagnosis reshaped his outlook and leadership ✅ The Squeezed Middle — Why mid-sized fund managers must adapt or consolidate ✅ Continuation Funds — What they reveal about today's market ✅ Living & Logistics — Why these two sectors still offer the best risk-adjusted returns Oh, and one last thing… In every episode, I ask each guest: Who are the People, what Property, and which Place they'd invest in if they had £500 million at their disposal? Will's answer was pragmatic, data-driven — and full of hard-won perspective

As many regular listeners to the podcast know, on this channel we have been exploring the new kinds of educational institutions that are emerging in response to the challenges that our legacy institutions are facing. For the last 250 years we've gotten used to compulsory standardised schooling being provided at scale by either the state, as public government schools, or by the market, as private fee-paying schools. I'm fascinated by the question of what alternatives there might be to this binary choice. Home-schooling networks, religious and intentional communities are certainly examples, but often still very much at the margins. My guest this week, David Bollier, is a global expert in the the way that communities work together to steward shared resources often known as the Commons, rather than relying on the market or the state. So I was very keen to ask him about the implications of reframing education itself as a commons, what would this do to the ways that we provide, fund, and govern education.David is an author, activist, blogger and independent scholar with a primary focus on the commons as a new paradigm of economics, politics and culture. He is the Reinventing the Commons Program Director at the The Schumacher Center for a New Economics https://centerforneweconomics.org/, and co-founder of the Commons Strategies Group, an advocacy/consulting project that assists the international commons movement. David's work on the commons especially focuses on Internet culture; law and policy; ecological governance; and inter-commoning. David has written and edited many books on the commons, including the revised second edition of Think Like a Commoner: A Short Introduction to the Life of the Commons that was published this year. His other books include: Free, Fair and Alive: The Insurgent Power of the Commons and The Commoner's Catalog for Changemaking; Think Like a Commoner: A Short Introduction to the Life of the Commons (2014); Green Governance: Ecological Survival, Human Rights and the Commons (2013), co-authored with Burns Weston; and Viral Spiral: How the Commoners Built a Digital Republic of Their Own (2010). With Silke Helfrich, he co-edited two anthologies of original essays, Patterns of Commoning (2015) and The Wealth of the Commons: A World Beyond Market and State (2012).David spent many years in various policy advocacy jobs in Washington, D.C. in the 1970s and 1980s – with a Member of Congress, the auto safety regulatory agency, and public-interest organizations. From 1985 to 2010, David collaborated with television producer, writer and activist Norman Lear on a wide variety of non-television public affairs and political projects. In 2001, David co-founded Public Knowledge, a Washington advocacy organization for the public's stake in the Internet, telecom and copyright policy.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comIn this episode of Faithful Politics, hosts Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram speak with Dr. Brandon Bloch, historian and assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, about his groundbreaking book Reinventing Protestant Germany: The Religious Nationalists and the Contest for Post-Nazi Democracy (Harvard University Press).Dr. Bloch explores how German Protestants grappled with complicity, guilt, and renewal after World War II, tracing how theology, nationalism, and moral reconstruction intertwined in the decades following Hitler's rise. The discussion connects these historical lessons to modern America—especially the resurgence of Christian nationalism and the uneasy dance between faith and political identity.Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how religion can both sustain democracy and undermine it, depending on how believers interpret power, patriotism, and divine authority.Guest Bio – Dr. Brandon BlochDr. Brandon Bloch is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, specializing in modern European history, political theology, and human rights. His research focuses on how religion, nationalism, and democracy intersected in 20th-century Germany. His book, Reinventing Protestant Germany: The Religious Nationalists and the Contest for Post-Nazi Democracy (Harvard University Press), examines how German Protestants rebuilt faith and moral authority in the wake of Nazism.Dr. Bloch's work has been featured in academic and public forums for its insight into how religious identity can both challenge and reinforce authoritarian power.

In this episode of The Brave Enough Show, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt and Cy Wakeman discuss: The power of re-remembering Finding your voice in your 50s Reinventing yourself and leaving past versions behind "At some point I started to realize I had lived a dream life. I am just not sure it was my dream." - Cy Wakeman Cy Wakeman: Drama Researcher, NY-Times Bestselling Author and Leadership Consultant I am a drama researcher, a career I discovered accidentally and have since quantified how much drama there is in the workplace. Our research has shown that the average employee spends nearly 2.5 hours per day in drama – gossiping, tattling, withholding buy-in, resisting change and stepping down from accountability. Drama is emotional waste – any unproductive thought or behavior – and like any other waste in the workplace, I believe drama can be eliminated through great mental processes. My work is focused on giving leaders tools to recapture that emotional waste and upcycle it into results. I started Reality-Based Leadership in order to teach leaders and individual contributors ways to lead in reality that diffuses drama in the workplace. We have formed that into an organization that does leadership development, speaking and training, and publishes unconventional tools and leadership programs to use to diffuse drama in the workplace.

Cristina Ashbaugh, co-founder of Yardsale, shares how they reinvented the ski pole by adding magnets and modular design—starting with taped-together prototypes in her San Francisco apartment. With no industry experience, she and co-founder Kelly McGee launched their business unconventionally: through NYC subway ads, cold-calling ski shops as a "student researcher," and a rehearsed Shark Tank pitch that secured an investment from Kendra Scott. Cristina discusses tactical strategies, including DIY PR that landed Fast Company coverage, managing wholesale complexity with customizable products, why they're running their own fulfillment instead of using a 3PL, and expanding beyond ski poles into bags and technical apparel for the "90% of skiers."Learn more about KORE OutdoorsLinksYardsale websiteYardsale's Substack (Behind the scenes of building the brand)See their NYC subway ads & truck adsWatch their Shark Tank episodeSouth Park documentary about their creative process: 6 Days to AirConnect with Cristina on LinkedInConnect with Christian on LinkedIn

Welcome back to Tinfoil Tales! On this episode I am joined by my guest, John Gertz. John was once the director of SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and was one of the leading people in the science community trying to discover life outside of our planet.As public interest in UFOs (or UAPs) surges, from NASA reports to Congressional hearings, the phenomena is at a boiling point. As board chair of the SETI Institute, Gertz is uniquely positioned to cut through the noise. With his forthcoming book Reinventing SETI: New Directions in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (Oxford University Press; August 2025), Gertz is challenging the scientific establishment and confronting the pop culture mythmaking that's clouding our view of what real contact could, and should, look like. It might not be what we think.https://www.amazon.com/Reinventing-SETI-Directions-Extraterrestrial-Intelligence/dp/0197800416/ref=sr_1_1?crid=MJCP0ALNUVWO&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.91i9WAfLHWqO4VgrLtbFd5qEgxwIX0TMLf8g2vyVZHWlR6wOlndw_-iisJ-osrtN5zZUEoZV-e5SXW2_LlAFy-i5HHgRuJRb58CQLDW0o0mHDaA4LEmwyfI2gcHSGpDx55FwmvDWMsaf9CAWkggPPSUoC7ziNP-AdUgxr7iC-DqGCJkM9d9NZEnK8bKd3yjFjQ2jhtswfjX1oMwoOy4wkDKGCBplDVaBKKjql-Pwejk.5WWwdt5u9Ljctx3t_VB-IjkZmjPvqqNTGEDNVnsKpn8&dib_tag=se&keywords=john+gertz&qid=1749069150&sprefix=john+gertz%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-1Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tinfoil-tales--6147818/support.Tinfoil Tales Podcast - Show Notes
