    Send us a textSarah, Dan and Deenie are back for episode 65, this week's episode covers:How UAE student restrictions are sending shockwaves through the UK university system. Several institutions falling outside the global top 200 rankings—including UCLan, City University, and Heriot-Watt—now face losing hundreds of international students who provide essential income. With 61% of UK universities falling in rankings this year, the panel explores what this means for PBSA operators and whether other countries might follow the UAE's lead, potentially creating a dangerous two-tier system in higher education.The conversation shifts to the Building Safety Regulator inquiry launched by the House of Lords Committee, accepting evidence until August 31st. The panel highlights concerns about transparency, consistency, and the far-reaching impact of regulatory delays on the entire construction supply chain. As one panelist notes, "It's impacting the whole supply chain of the supply chain of the construction industry."We also question whether stamp duty exemptions for empty nesters would meaningfully address housing market stagnation. The discussion reveals a more complex picture where downsizers seek appropriate housing options that maintain their quality of life—particularly access to gardens that keep them "young and active"—rather than simply reduced tax burdens. This illuminates a significant gap in the market for thoughtfully designed later living options that truly meet seniors' needs.The podcast features an exclusive update on the Renters' Rights Bill from Holly Jordan-Wright of Howard Kennedy, who clarifies that while fixed-term tenancies will indeed be abolished without exception, PBSA will transition to common law tenancies outside much of the bill's remit—provided operators sign up to the national code for landlords. Implementation is now expected in late 2025 or 2026, giving operators more time to prepare.Whether you're a PBSA operator concerned about international student numbers, a BTR developer questioning the definition of co-living, or a later living provider seeking to understand what downsizers truly want, this episode provides essential insights for navigating the ever-evolving shared living landscape.Thank you to our season four sponsors:MyStudentHalls - Find your ideal student accommodation across the UK.Utopi - The smart building platform helping real estate owners protect the value of their assets.Washstation - Leading provider of laundry solutions for Communal and Campus living throughout the UK and Ireland.

First we welcome Peegy Wirtz-Olsen, the President of WEAC, to discuss the devastating consequences of proposed GOP cuts to public education and why her union and organizing groups such as Citizen Action are calling on the Governor to veto a bad budget.. Next, we are joined by Senator Kelda Roys, a member of the powerful Joint Finance Committee with an inside view of the process, to explain the stakes in this year's budget battle and why Republicans abruptly stopped work on the budget last week. Finally, Senator Chris Larson joins Kelda and Robert to discuss how the combination of the Governor's veto power and the new leverage Senate Democrats have with a divided Republican Senate Caucus to win a better state budget on health care, education, child care, and criminal justice reform.

In a republic, every citizen has a duty to understand their government. The Federalist is the greatest exposition of representative government and the institutional structure of the Constitution. It explains how the Constitution established a government strong enough to secure the rights of citizens and safe enough to wield that power. This course will examine how Publius understood human nature and good government, and why he argued that the only true safeguard of liberty lies in the vigilance of the American people. The Anti-Federalists opposed ratification of the Constitution because they feared a large, centralized government.

    Send us a textBe it resolved: America's founders established a secular government with provision for a religious people. When the delegates met in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787, they deliberately prevented the government from favoring any religion. Then when the Bill of Rights were added, freedom of religious expression was guaranteed. Those who wanted a Christian government at the time were upset at what they called the religious defect in the Constitution. They were honest enough to admit what today's Christian nationalists often cover up: The Constitution is not a Christian document and the nation was not founded on the basis of Christianity. The Christian myths surrounding the Constitutional Convention and Constitution came out later. At the time, most people recognized that the founding was secular. This is a bonus episode with regular segments to return in July. Music provided by Earl's Taco Shack.

    Episode #121 - In this episode of the Awakened Heart Podcast, I'm thrilled to welcome Ron Bienvenu—a man I've known personally for years and who never fails to challenge the status quo. From our first meeting at The Whaler in Venice Beach to visits in New Orleans, Ron's unique perspective on life and technology has always inspired me.Ron's new book, The Fifth Shock, serves as a philosophical wake-up call addressing the profound shifts happening in our world today. In our conversation, we explore the complex relationship between spirituality, artificial intelligence, and the future of humanity. Ron is the Founder and Managing Partner of Noetic Investment Partners, with over 40 years of experience in technology and finance. He's been instrumental in shaping the way companies approach data and AI, especially through his work in data assetization—turning data into a capital-grade asset.Ron discusses how AI is transforming human identity, the critical need for economic innovations like Universal Behavioral Income, and the moral responsibilities we face with advancing technology. He advocates for the integration of human wisdom into AI systems and a digital Bill of Rights to safeguard individual freedom in a rapidly evolving digital era. Beyond the intellectual discussion, Ron shares a deeply personal story about his daughter, a storm in Tulum, and a poignant poem that encapsulates resilience and courage.This episode blends cutting-edge ideas with heartfelt storytelling—a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of technology, spirituality, and human sovereignty.TakeawaysThe conversation explores the awakening to spirituality and AI.Wisdom is essential in the age of AI.Humanity must navigate the challenges posed by AI.The need for a Universal Behavioral Income is highlighted.AI should enhance human agency, not replace it.Geopolitical implications of digital power are significant.Data is becoming the most valuable asset in the modern economy.Consciousness may be the key to understanding the universe.Moral implications of AI must be addressed.  Machines rely on human creativity and authenticity.Innovation's value is declining due to rapid replication.Congress has become ineffective in governance.The media has compromised its integrity for profit.A grassroots revolution is necessary for change.Parenting can instill strength and independence in children.Life lessons can be learned through shared experiences.Mediocrity should be avoided in pursuit of greatness.The meaning of life is a profound question worth exploring.Sound Bite"How do we navigate this?""My voice is my whip.""Mediocrity is a disease."Chapters00:00 Introduction and Personal Connection01:48 Awakening to Spirituality and AI05:30 The Human Experience vs. AI08:46 Data Sovereignty and Behavioral Income12:20 The Future of AI and Human Agency15:47 Geopolitical Implications of Digital Rights19:32 The Evolution of Wealth and Value22:45 The Broken Accounting System and Change26:11 Spirituality and the Path Forward30:34 The Devil's Bargain: A Reflection on Spirituality31:26 The Metaverse and Voluntary Extinction32:16 Preserving Human Consciousness in a Digital Age35:58 The Intersection of Technology, Philosophy, and Spirituality37:33 Consciousness as the Fifth Element38:47 Spiritual Recursion and Algorithmic Logic42:34 Moral Constructs in a Digital World46:29 The Homogenization of Beauty and Authenticity49:24 Innovation and the Value of Networks53:07 Disappointment in Governance and Media56:34 Global Political Landscape and the Call for Change01:01:12 A Stormy Journey: Father-Daughter Bonding and Life Lessons01:10:27 Empowerment Through Authenticity and Courage01:14:35 Navigating the Future: Technology, Sovereignty, and Human ConnectionConnect with Ron:linkedinInstagram Facebook XThe Fifth ShockXIG FacebookLet's Connect!⁠Website⁠Instagram FacebookYoutubeRumble⁠Tik Tok⁠Linkedin

    This week on Mongabay's podcast, celebrated author and repeat Nobel Prize in Literature candidate Robert Macfarlane discusses his fascinating new book, Is a River Alive?, which both asks and provides answers to this compelling question, in his signature flowing prose. Its absorbing narrative takes the reader to the frontlines of some of Earth's most embattled waterways, from northern Ecuador to southern India and northeastern Quebec, where he explores what makes a river more than just a body of water, but rather a living organism upon which many humans and myriad species are irrevocably dependent — a fact that is often forgotten. Regardless of whether humans see rivers as useful resources or living beings, Macfarlane says their great ability to rebound from degradation is demonstrable and is something to strive for. " When I think of how we have to imagine rivers otherwise, away from the pure resource model, I recognize that we can reverse the direction of 'shifting baseline' syndrome. We can make it ‘lifting baseline' syndrome. We can make our rivers touchable, then swimmable, then drinkable again. Drinkable rivers. Imagine that!"

    Distinguished psychologist and trauma therapist Dr. Ardeshir Mehran joins us to unravel the complex layers of mental health, particularly how depression subtly manifests among high achievers. We expose the hidden struggles behind a successful facade, where loneliness and a life "on hold" are often overlooked indicators of emotional distress. Drawing from his expertise, Dr. Mehran highlights alarming statistics, such as the profound loneliness reported by 50% of US-based CEOs, and sheds light on how physical symptoms can be an expression of deeper emotional issues, particularly in high-pressure environments like Silicon Valley. Dr. Ardeshir Mehran is a psychologist, trauma therapist, and behavioral researcher transforming mental health by challenging conventional views on depression. He holds a Ph.D. and M.Ed. from Columbia University and is the author of the bestselling book You Are Not Depressed. You Are Un-Finished. Drawing on 30 years of research and clinical work, he developed The Bill of Emotional Rights© to help people reclaim a fulfilled life. In this episode, you'll hear about: Insights from Dr. Ardeshir Mehran on how depression often hides behind the facade of high achievement. Alarming loneliness rates among US CEOs, with physical symptoms indicating deeper emotional issues. Link between emotional wellness and conditions like anxiety, ADHD, and burnout, especially in Silicon Valley. Power of vulnerability and authenticity in discovering true purpose and fulfillment. Managing anxiety in leadership teams with techniques for a calm, productive environment. Importance of boundaries and self-care, guided by Dr. Mehran's Emotional Bill of Rights.

    The world-destabilizing horrors we see on the news today (and the many forms of resistance we don't see) can easily make us feel overwhelmed and hopeless about the state of the world. But as Reverend Dr. Liz Theoharis and Noam Sandweiss-Back have seen firsthand organizing with poor and working-class communities around the US, “there's amazing grassroots organizing led by poor and dispossessed people that's happening right now… there's kind of an awakening happening, but I think instead of looking to our political leaders or looking to some of the more established folks out there.” In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Theoharis and Sandweiss-Back about their new book, You Only Get What You're Organized to Take: Lessons From the Movement to End Poverty.Guests:The Reverend Dr. Liz Theoharis is an anti-poverty activist, pastor, theologian, and author. She is the executive director of the Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice and co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. Rev.

    What if supporting your anxious teen didn't mean constantly doing more - but instead, meant becoming more present, intentional, and self-aware in the moments that matter? In this episode, I'm joined by Holly Swenson - wellness blogger, registered nurse, and author of Stop, Drop, Grow, & Glow - to explore how conscious parenting, grounded in self-care and deep inner work, can reshape how we show up for our teens. More About Holly: Holly Swenson is a best-selling, award-winning author, and mom of four. Through her book Stop, Drop, Grow, & Glow, Holly offers a refreshing take on modern parenting - one rooted in mindfulness, purpose, and self-compassion. With her unique background as a nurse and mother, she empowers parents to slow down, shift their mindset, and lead from their values instead of stress or guilt. Holly's “5 Rights of Parenting” invites parents to tune in to themselves, approach challenges with clarity, and create deeper, more authentic connections with their children. If you've ever questioned how to care for your teen without losing yourself in the process, this conversation is your permission slip to pause, reflect, and thrive alongside your child. Parenting can be hard - but it doesn't have to feel like a constant struggle.

    Healthy rivers and riparian ecosystems are teaming with life, but should rivers themselves be considered alive? The question is central to the growing rights-of-nature movement that claims that ecosystems and entities, like rivers, have legal rights. After Ecuador enshrined the rights of nature in its constitution, lawyers employed the new personhood status to stop mining companies from clearing a section of the Los Cedros River and its surrounding biodiverse cloud forest. Granting rivers moral standing comes as over-damming, pollution, and climate change have put them in crisis globally. Writer Robert Macfarlane explores how seeing rivers as living beings rather than just resources – a change he calls “a great act of moral imagination” – could help save our watersheds and rivers, upon which all life depends.   Guest: Robert Macfarlane – Writer and Professor of Literature and Environmental Humanities at the University of Cambridge, and author of “Is a River Alive?” Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake You can get early access to ad-free versions of every episode by joining us on Patreon.

Everyone is welcome in her circles. This community-held writing practice was designed for anyone willing to pick up a pen. A recent PBS documentary highlights River Writing as a method of repair for what is broken in our relationship with the natural world. Her debut poetry collection, prayers not meant for heaven, was published by Toad Hall Editions in the summer of 2021. Nan's story lake woman leaving, a modern myth, was awarded the 2022 Alfred Lambourne prize by Friends of Great Salt Lake. As the poet-in-residence on Antelope Island, Nan led day-and-night vigils on behalf of the imperiled Great Salt Lake throughout the 2022 and 2023 Utah State legislative sessions. During her weeks on the receding lake shore, she assembled the praise poem called irreplaceable, ;a collective love letter containing over 400 individual voices from lake-facing citizens. The epic ode is a community cry for this essential ecosystem's full restoration. In the May 2023 special issue of Desert Report, Nan offers a reflection on relationship with the lake from the perspective of two winter vigils. Nan continues to advocate for Rights of Nature, legally defensible personal rights for ecosystems, including Great Salt Lake. Her work gives voice to their inherent right to live, flourish, and evolve in natural way. The words emerge from a devotion to repairing the breach between humans and the rest of the sentient, singing earth.

    Today I speak with Gabrielle Apollon and Pooja Bhatia about the histories behind the persecution of Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, and beyond. Targeted as exemplary “bad people” by demagogue Donald Trump, the stories of both the town and the people of Springfield are brought forward by Pooja Bhatia, who lived both in Haiti and as a journalist lived with the people in Springfield.  Complementing Bhatia's local stories of migrants, we have Gabrielle Apollon of the Global Justice Clinic, who tells of the complex “push” factors that drive Haitians from their homeland. We end on a hopeful note—showing how instances of transnational solidarity have succeeded where governments and international governmental bodies have failed.For more information on this topic, please check out our blog.Gabrielle Apollon is the Director of the Haitian Immigrant Rights project at NYU Law's Global Justice Clinic. She also coordinates the Hemispheric Network for Haitian Migrants' Rights, a coalition of Haitian activists, lawyers, and leaders, collaborating to combat the anti-Black racism, exclusion and cyclical displacement Haitians have faced as they've migrated throughout the Western Hemisphere. Gabrielle previously served as Managing Attorney at The Door: A Center for Alternatives, where she represented young people in immigration and family law matters. She holds a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of International Affairs from Columbia University, as well as a law degree from NYU School of Law.Pooja Bhatia is an U.S. writer, editor and teacher who has reported on Haiti and Haitian immigrants for more than 15 years. She lived in Haiti from 2007 to 2011 and speaks Kreyòl. Her work has been published in a variety of outlets, including The London Review of Books, The Baffler, The New York Review of Books, The New York Times and The Economist, where she was Haiti correspondent from 2010-2013. A former human rights lawyer, Pooja teaches with the University Network for Human Rights, and is working on a novel.
