Podcasts about right questions

The entire facade crumbles when we learn to ask the right questions. Peace is not currently on the menu. The influencer flotilla is psyop operation. And, that's not Greta. Greece is helping the second flotilla. There will be diplomatic repercussions. Testing the waters in Gaza. The Israeli civilian victims. The UN says they committed crimes. Ukraine is on fire too. Programs cannot replicate programs. Evil counterfeits are not inventions. You are dangerous because you are uncontrolled. Elon is the lightning rod. Trump has done so much at great cost. Now that they're adrift, let's cut them loose. Remember to say what hasn't been said. What if Isreal was the most evil? The CCP runs the UN now. Turkey will be coming in hard. Counter-intel Islamafobia. Red string connections show unconscious links. They are pushing the collective to the breaking point. Stress pressure is a very cruel teacher. Evil is our creation, and we must judge it's fruits. It teaches us to see in the dark, and builds scaffolding for the truth. Did she say reherseauthority? Moving with the crowd does not mean safety. Beneath the showy performance is the truth. Those who do not choose must only adapt. Remember, when the programming wears off, love is the best operating code.

Let's talk about Trump tariffs, the CBO report, and right questions...

In this episode, we sit down with Brandon Gowan, a longtime listener turned lethal public land deer hunter. Over the last four years, Brandon has built an incredibly repeatable system for killing mature bucks on high-pressure land — and he shares it all in this detail-packed conversation. Brandon breaks down how a Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement from his job at Toyota transformed the way he hunts. He shares how asking “why” has helped him pattern bucks, refine his trail camera strategies, and create a career-hunting balance that gives him a major edge. We also dig into: How Brandon uses trail camera data patterns, not guesses, to pick kill dates Why every buck he's killed on public was already on camera How “asking why until there's no more why” leads to better results in the woods His go-to terrain features — and the exact setup that keeps producing big bucks The power of annual patterns and how he uses a simple calendar to predict buck movement The importance of finding big tracks, not just rubs and scrapes Why terrain funnels produce more consistent daylight buck activity than sign Mentorship lessons from his old-school, big buck–killing father Whether you're still figuring out public land or looking to take your hunting to the next level, Brandon's story offers a real-world blueprint for doing more with less — and finding repeatable success in pressured places.

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!What happens when we expand our understanding of diversity beyond demographics to include thought patterns and energetic contributions? This fascinating conversation explores how honoring the diverse energies people bring to situations creates richer environments and more authentic connections.We dive deep into a paradoxical truth: our greatest strengths often conceal our most significant vulnerabilities. When we become known for specific qualities, others expect us to consistently embody them, creating pressure that limits our full expression. The discussion reveals how awareness of this dynamic opens doors to transformation, but requires more than mere recognition – it demands active exploration of alternative values we can embody regardless of circumstances.The conversation shifts to embrace imperfection as fertile ground for growth. Between flawless and failed performances lies an infinite spectrum of possibilities where unexpected innovation thrives. For high achievers especially, this perspective challenges the binary thinking that limits potential. By reframing imperfection as opportunity rather than failure, we discover how to "win" regardless of external metrics.Most powerfully, the dialogue examines our thought-emotion-action cycle. Every thought triggers an associated feeling that dictates our behaviors. By understanding this process, we gain leverage for change. When we recognize thoughts as mental events rather than absolute truths, we create space between ourselves and our thinking patterns, unlocking greater psychological flexibility and intentional living.Ready to transform your relationship with imperfection and discover the power of energy diversity?

Few leaders have been trained to ask great questions. That might explain why they tend to be good at certain kinds of questions, and less effective at other kinds. Unfortunately, that hurts their ability to pursue strategic priorities. Arnaud Chevallier, strategy professor at IMD Business School, explains how leaders can break out of that rut and systematically ask five kinds of questions: investigative, speculative, productive, interpretive, and subjective. He shares real-life examples of how asking the right sort of question at a key time can unlock value and propel your organization. With his IMD colleagues Frédéric Dalsace and Jean-Louis Barsoux, Chevallier wrote the HBR article “The Art of Asking Smarter Questions.” Key episode topics include: decision-making, problem solving, active listening, leadership strategic planning Listen to the original HBR IdeaCast episode: Are You Asking the Right Questions?Find more episodes of HBR IdeaCast.Discover 100 years of Harvard Business Review articles, case studies, podcasts, and more at HBR.org.]]>

When we become frustrated to the point of despair, there's an opening for us. And that opening for Arjuna in the Bhagavad-gītā was that he gave up. There's so much effort I put into trying to organize everything in the world so it'll come out straight, and it always comes out crooked. Prabhupāda mentions in one of his purports, in the Second Canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, that observing our own frustration can be enlightening because it means that we're incompatible with the nature of the world. And that's because, as he says, 'We are a different category of energy altogether.' We are consciousness, and consciousness can't be measured in the same way that material elements can. We have the controlled studies scientifically to come out with a predictable outcome, or as close as possible, so that we can say that there are certain principles that work uniformly in the world, but with consciousness, you can't apply the same measurements. It's impossible to use the same tools to measure it. We're subtler than matter, and it really bugs us. Bugs me. I'm always trying to get things to work right. And then I remember that purport where Prabhupāda says, 'Just notice that the material nature is clumsy.' I may attribute it to myself, but that's because I want more; I want something more refined. So in despair, we can find teachable moments—that is, times in which we feel so out of place in this world that we can come to a point of questioning why. And oftentimes this is the turning point. It is possible to not take advantage of despair, not take advantage of frustration, and just continually try to fix it or try to forget about it and become distracted. Oftentimes we do that. I'll speak for myself. So one of the big admonitions given in the Brahma-sūtra, otherwise known as the Vedānta-sūtra, is the introductory statement that now you've got a chance to inquire, ask a big question. It says, athāto brahma jijñāsā—means now that you've come to the human form of life, you have an opportunity to ask, 'Why? Why am I suffering?' Also, other questions could be there, like, 'Why do I have to die? Why do—why am I faced with non-permanence when I definitely feel like I shouldn't be?' That's a conundrum and can lead to a sense of angst, existential angst. And it's a relief to know, isn't it, that the wisdom literature knows us? Of course, I could go back to Vyasadeva. He's the one who compiled it, and put that question first amongst all the others, a myriad of questions that can be asked or statements that can be made, principles that can be expounded. But then he says, you do it, you ask, you ask, Why am I suffering, and what's the purpose of life? The implication is that there's an answer waiting for you.It's forthcoming ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife

Most interviews miss the mark. Predictable questions. Rehearsed answers. And when it's over, you still haven't figured out who the person really is. In Part 1 of this series, we covered what matters most when it comes to attracting the right candidates. Today is about what happens next. How do you actually assess whether someone can solve the real problems you are hiring them to tackle or if they're the right fit? The truth is, most people can talk a good game and tell you what you'd like to hear. But when the lights come on and things get messy, can they think on their feet? Can they take initiative? Can they adapt when the environment or expectations change? In this episode, Brett walks you through how to run interviews that actually reveal who someone is, not just who they pretend to be, and breaks down: A smarter way to structure interviews using the DEEP framework How a simple role clarity doc keeps you from hiring the wrong person Questions that expose if someone can solve real problems or just talk well The 4 dimensions every candidate must show before you even consider hiring them How real world tasks and off-script moments reveal who someone really is Upcoming Live Events! Everyone wants to lead better, grow their business, and communicate with confidence… until it's time to actually do it in the room, with real people and real pressure.

In this reflective episode, Colleen shares a personal moment from a particularly full chapter in her life—a season of growth, transition, and pushing hard to bring her program to life. What began as a weekend packed with work turned into a deeper realization about brain fog, creative blocks, and the quiet wisdom of the body. If you've ever tried to think your way through exhaustion or override your energy in the name of getting things done, this one's for you. It's a reminder that alignment matters more than output—and that sometimes, the clearest signal you'll get is the moment your mind starts to go fuzzy. Key Takeaways:   Brain Fog Isn't the Problem—It's the Message It's not a sign to push harder—it's a signal to pause and re-sync. Your body knows before your brain catches up. Fear and Perfectionism Slow You Down Overplanning, overthinking, and trying to get it “just right” can block creativity. You can reclaim flow by choosing presence over performance. Creative Energy Comes From Connection Movement, nature, and space to feel are where the best ideas come from. The most powerful content is felt, not forced. Ask the Right Questions to Get the Right Answers “How do I want to feel?” “What can I let go of to feel that way?” Let your body lead—and let your brain follow. Homework: Notice where you're overriding your body in service of “getting things done.” What's one task, story, or expectation you can release this week? And what feeling do you want to invite in its place? Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL.

If you've been investing for more than ten years, you know that not all equity deals will perform 100%.  It's all about not putting too much capital in any one deal that could sink you. I've seen investors violate that immutable law of passive investing over and over again.”      ABOUT THE WESTSIDE INVESTORS NETWORK   The Westside Investors Network is your community for investing knowledge for growth.
