In this joyful bonus episode of The Spark, Katy Cowan and Fiona McGarva let their hair down after the main show, diving into the quirky, honest and oddly profound bits that make us who we are.

Fiona reveals why she gets dressed up for phone calls, how she's surprisingly skilled at matching pairs, and why her funeral will feature a gospel choir and a rocket.

Come for the giggles, stay for the insight – and find out what she'd be doing if PR hadn't worked out (hint: solving crimes on the book tour circuit à la Jessica Fletcher).

Katherine Mitchell's 84-year journey defies the limits of a single identity. Born during WWII in Hungary, she survived war, communism, and displacement before building a multifaceted life in the U.S. As a nationally ranked gymnast turned refugee, talent agent turned screenwriter, single mother turned novelist, Katherine's story is a testament to grit, adaptability, and lifelong learning. In this heartfelt and often humorous conversation, she opens up about the moments that shaped her—from math lessons that sparked logical thinking to the heartbreaks and breakthroughs of a life spent chasing meaning, not just success.Interview recorded in Orange City, FL.Key Takeaways:Katherine was born in wartime Hungary and raised by her grandmother while her mother survived a concentration camp.After escaping Hungary following the 1956 revolution, she began a new life in the U.S., learning English and working jobs from Woolworth's to Wall Street.Her early love for math laid the groundwork for a structured, logical approach that served her across industries.She transitioned from being a gymnast to a playwright, then became a Hollywood agent and screenwriter—all while raising a child alone.After nearly 30 years in California, a major earthquake pushed her to reinvent herself once more—this time as a novelist in Florida.Katherine speaks candidly about dreams deferred, lessons in resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of inner peace and creative fulfillment.Her perspective on compassion and passion is both simple and profound: one is about giving; the other, about being moved to act.Katherine's Bio:It is an arduous task to capsulize 84 years of life that started as a war baby in Europe. Years of being a nationally ranked gymnast ended in escaping from communist Hungary. The refugee saga went from dishwasher to retail jobs, to love, marriage to an actor and on to Hollywood; from talent agent to screenwriter; from broken marriage to single parenting; always taking college courses to better myself. A 6.9 (7.) earthquake triggered my exit from California; becoming a novelist in Florida continued to fulfill years of working for acceptance as an American writer.Connect with Katherine:www.katherinemitchellauthor.com#TheHumanExperiencePodcast Follow Along:Website: https://www.thehxpod.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehxpod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/getthehxTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehxpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thehxpodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Fractal Truth of Leadership: Perry Marshall on 80/20, Chaos, and Reinvention What if the one thing sabotaging your leadership... is your addiction to doing too much of what doesn't matter? . You've heard of the 80/20 Rule. But what if I told you it's not just a rule... It's a recursive law of nature that governs your time, your team… and your destiny. In this explosive episode of The Dov Baron Show, I sit down with Perry Marshall, the Harvard Business Review-published strategist whose 80/20 model is now used by NASA's Jet Propulsion Labs, backed by MIT scientists, and anchored in a $10 million Evolution 2.0 science prize announced at The Royal Society in London. . He's been called one of the most expensive business consultants in the world. But what he teaches will cost you far more if you ignore it. . Because this isn't about productivity hacks. It's about the existential math of impact. . It's about how to shed identities you've outgrown, how to navigate resistance as a signpost, and how to use mathematical truth as a diagnostic lens for leadership. . If you're not just building a company, but forging a legacy! This is your mirror. And your wake-up call. . In This Episode:
Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been dominating headlines and social feeds over the past few days, but not always for reasons his fans might hope. After sparking concern with a string of close-up, cryptic posts on Instagram—including now infamous nipple shots and selfie musings—Bieber shocked fans by changing his Instagram handle from @justinbieber to @lilbieber, his first username switch since joining the platform, and sparking wild speculation about a possible rebrand or even a new musical direction. Star Magazine reports that some fans on X joked about the name hinting at a rap alter ego, while others saw the shift as a cultural reset, but the confusion and worry about his well-being remain front and center. On June 16, Bieber shared an emotional message on Instagram confessing to anger and mental health struggles, saying plainly, “People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues.” This candor, while resonant for some, only heightened concern among fans and those close to him, as insiders tell Star Magazine his inner circle are “deeply concerned about his behavior” and fear his current path is “toxic and totally untenable.”In tandem with the social media drama, Bieber's marriage to Hailey Bieber is under intense scrutiny. Cosmopolitan and The Sun have reported that the couple, who looked picture-perfect in recent outings with their infant son Jack Blues Bieber, are facing serious marital struggles. Hailey was reportedly seen without her wedding ring—though it did return—and insiders cite Justin's irritability and Hailey's frustration with how much of their private drama is being aired publicly. She is said to be “beyond furious” with his social media behavior and even begged him to lay low, but so far he seems determined to do things his way. TMZ featured commentary from Dr. Drew, who cited Bieber's public outbursts as likely fueled by love life turmoil rather than career or fame stress, and highlighted just how much stakes have risen now that the couple are parents.On the business front, Justin has officially cut ties with his Drew House clothing brand and is now heavily teasing a new fashion line called SKYLRK on Instagram, sharing previews of sweatshirts, sunglasses, phone cases, and bold-colored slide sandals. Some fans pointed out that his SKYLRK phone case closely resembles one sold by Hailey's billion-dollar Rhode brand, sparking speculation about creative overlap or competition in the Bieber household. Hailey herself, despite the drama, remains professionally focused, retaining a leadership role at Rhode after its recent sale to e.l.f. Beauty.Most recently, Bieber was spotted dining at Bar Pitti in New York City, drawing interest from paparazzi and fans alike. In short, while the couple is putting on a united public front—posing for pictures with their son and even appearing together at Rhode events—behind the scenes, the tension is unmistakable and observers remain on high alert for what comes next. For now, the world watches as Justin Bieber balances the chaos of personal struggles, family pressures, and a possible reinvention—one eyebrow-raising Instagram post at a time.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Career growth starts with stepping outside your comfort zone.Building a successful career isn't about following a set path—it's about knowing when to evolve and embracing change.

She breaks down the S-curve of learning, a framework that helps professionals recognize when it's time to move on, pivot, or double down on their current path.

Craig Siegel, once engrossed in the high-stakes world of Wall Street, found himself surrounded by financial gains but devoid of genuine fulfillment. When faced with his father's cancer diagnosis and the strains of a toxic relationship, Craig was driven to reconsider what truly mattered in life. The pandemic became an unexpected ally, giving him the time and introspection needed to embrace personal development, leading to the birth of the CLS brand, a venture grounded in the conviction that aligning one's career with their authentic self can unlock abundance and purpose.As the discussion unfolds, we confront the startling reality that only 20% of Americans find purpose in their work. By creating intentional "white space" for reflection and introspection, we can redefine wealth not just through financial means but through awakening and actualizing our true potential. Craig's story is a testament to the resilience and determination required to overcome life's hurdles and align personal and professional aspirations. Join us for an inspiring exchange that encourages a mindset shift towards resilience, purpose, and genuine wealth.
