Podcasts about ripples

“We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.” — Anaïs Nin “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I learn.” — Benjamin Franklin “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” — Viktor Frankl When we judge too quickly, we risk missing extraordinary people, extraordinary lessons, and extraordinary opportunities. Gratitude in the now. Choices for the future. Ripples for generations.

Jennifer Hobbs grew up in Chattanooga.  Shortly after graduating from UTC with a degree in secondary education, she traveled out west to work as a whitewater guide on the Arkansas River in Colorado.  One season turned into a decade where she spent time riding the rivers, hiking the mountains, biking the trails, climbing the rocks, and living the dream.  After having her son in 2000, she knew it was time to move back home and reconnect with family.  Life soon got busy with kids and work and going back to school and all the things.  Yoga came into her life when Jessica Jollie and Sara Mingus opened North Shore Yoga in 2008.  Over the next 17 years or so, her practice evolved from passive observer to passionate instructor and practioner. The yogic teachings have transformed her modus operandi in all areas of her life and serve as a constant sounding board.  The asanas have taught me appreciation, confidence, patience, and humility.  The prana and breath work may have possibly saved a life or two as it taught me composure, self restrain, discipline, and the importance of going inward to find her true self.  She passionate about sharing this beautiful teachings with others, and even more passionate about learning from instrumental yoga teachers.  When not practicing or leading yoga, I can be found in my 8th grade ELA classroom at Chattanooga Valley Middle School, exploring the great outdoors, collecting cool rocks, playing in my garden, hanging with my family, and forever crafting.Jennifer teaches yoga at Yoga Landing in Chattanooga, TN and offers pop-up classes at Rising Fawn Gardens.

The episode provides a review on the excerpts from a New York Times article detailing President Donald Trump's provocative address at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly. This speech, noted for its departure from traditional diplomatic conventions, blended personal grievances, such as complaints about a broken escalator, with sweeping indictments of global institutions. The article captures Trump's criticisms of environmental policies and climate science, alongside his announcements of new policy initiatives, including enforcing the biological weapons convention and issuing warnings to drug smugglers. Furthermore, the episode highlights the tension between Trump's unilateral foreign policy approach and his unexpected social media post supporting Ukraine's territorial recovery. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-new-york-times-review--4762002/support.

My heart feels so heavy right now. Everywhere I turn, whether it's Facebook, X, or even LinkedIn, I see a wave of social media toxicity and division that leaves me feeling drained and heartbroken. It seems like we've forgotten how to have conversations. Instead, we're caught in an endless cycle of outrage, cancel culture, and online attacks that end up damaging not just our relationships but also our personal and professional reputations. We will talk about that in today's episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast. The truth is, the world feels more divided than ever in 2025, and the weight of global anxiety is showing up in how we treat each other online. When we post without thinking, when we lash out in anger, we're not just releasing stress in the moment, but also creating lasting damage to our brands, our businesses, and our own mental health. I don't have a magic solution, but I do believe we can choose differently. We can choose kindness when it feels easier to fight. We can lean into curiosity instead of judgment. We can create positive Ripples instead of amplifying the negativity that's already out there. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the noise online or worried about how what you post today might impact your future, listen until the end. I hope that it gives you perspective, maybe even a little hope, and reminds you that the Ripples we put into the world matter more than we think.   Ripple with Steve Harper  Instagram: http://instagram.com/rippleon Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rippleon X: https://twitter.com/rippleon Website: http://www.ripplecentral.com   Stay in the loop by being a part of the Ripple mail list: https://ripplecentral.com/subscribe Be a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/SteveHarper Join our ever-growing community of Ripplers in The Pond: https://ripplecentral.com/pond To inquire about my availability for conference keynotes, corporate training, or performance coaching, please contact info@ripplecentral.com.   #podcast #podcasting #newpodcast #podcastepisode #podcastersofinstagram #podcastlife #podcastcommunity #spotify #applepodcasts #googlepodcasts #podcastrecommendation #podcastshow #businesspodcast #leadershippodcast #personaldevelopmentpodcast #mindsetpodcast #mentalhealthpodcast #inspirationpodcast #professionalgrowth #rippleeffectpodcast

The power of good ripples is like tossing a pebble into a quiet pond. First, the entry of the pebble creates a "plunk." As the water receives the pebble, it leaps up with a splash of welcome. Then the ripple begins! It's beautiful to watch from the side. Artful, smooth, concentric circles roll outward. Interestingly, their art continues to "tell" about the pebble. Finally, the ripples reach the edge of the water and fade into the bank. Circle by circle becomes still - and once again, you see your own reflection in the pond canvas. Let's look at power of good ripples you have . . . Read More ...

The two lands we love, America and Israel, both have a problem. The problem is real, recurrent, and deadly. The problem showed up in both lands this week. The problem is violence and lack of regard for the sanctity of human life, lack of regard for the Bible's most important teaching: that all human beings are created in God's image and therefore deserve to live and to be treated with respect and dignity.On Monday morning, at a busy bus stop in Jerusalem, two shooters fired upon ordinary people living an ordinary day, killing six innocent people, the victims of terrorism. The shots were fired in Jerusalem. But the effects were felt in Newton. The effects were felt in our preschool, right here.One of the victims was Rabbi Mordechai Steintzag. His daughter Tanya teaches at our preschool. On Monday Tanya flew to Israel to attend her father's funeral. Like Rabbi Steintzag, every one of the victims was innocent; was loved; did good in the world; did not deserve to be murdered; loved their life and their families; and leaves behind families and communities that will never be the same. Each life taken is an infinite tragedy.And then, on Wednesday, at Utah Valley University, political activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated. He leaves behind a wife, two young children, and family and friends who are bereft that a31-year-old is no more, the victim of political violence. Charlie Kirk's murder is an infinite tragedy. Tonight is Selikhot, the beginning of our High Holiday season. How do we understand this violence, and what are we to do about it? Of course we decry it. We denounce it. We mourn it. We lament it. But is there anything we can do about it?

In this week's episode of This Week in AML, Elliot Berman and John Byrne unpack the latest regulatory developments.

John and Elliot also dive into the OCC's controversial statements on SARs and debanking. On the international front, they explore new Wolfsberg Group guidance on stablecoin issuers, FATF's collaboration with Interpol, and Transparency International UK's push for beneficial ownership transparency in offshore financial centers.

Welcome back to The Ripple Effect Podcast! I'm so glad you're here for this solo episode. Think of it like we're sitting down over coffee, swapping stories about life, relationships, creativity, and yes, even some of the messy stuff we all go through. This episode will be a Q&A session, where I will answer some questions posed to me by Ripplers. Lately, I've been diving into some fantastic books. I'm making my way through Ryan Holiday's books, and I've been taking notes like crazy from Play Bigger. It's such a powerful read on category design, becoming a market leader, and finding your unique value proposition. On the music side, my heart is full, thanks to Bruce Springsteen's Lost Tracks Box set (unreleased songs that are pure magic!), and I've fallen down the rabbit hole with Charlie Parker's jazz albums. I've been loving podcasts like The Tim Ferriss Show, Clear + Vivid by Alan Alda, and Founders. But this episode isn't just about books and music. I'll let you in on my life as a caregiver for my 90-year-old dad, and how I've been handling the stress that comes with it. Spoiler: it hasn't been easy. But leaning into creativity has made all the difference. In particular, journaling, writing on my vintage typewriter, block printing, woodworking, and even baseball card collecting have brought me peace, joy, and a sense of fun. More than anything, this conversation is about finding ways to build authentic relationships, work through stress as an entrepreneur, and lean on faith when life feels uncertain. It's about discovering those small things that create positive Ripples for yourself and the people around you.

Every time we hit record on this podcast, there's always that half hour before—the raw, unfiltered conversation—that feels like the best part. This time, it was about seasons changing, kids heading back to school, routines shifting, businesses rolling into budget season, and all of us feeling that turbulence. In the middle of that swirl, we started talking about purpose, fear, and what it means to actually go for it—not just coasting through life, but making real choices that align with who we are.From dropping kids off at college to holding doors for strangers, this episode digs into the little and big ways we can recommit, realign, and move with intention as the year winds down. Five Key Insights:The season shift is a reset button. As routines change with back-to-school and fall approaching, it's the perfect time to pause, reflect, and recommit to what matters most. Fear doesn't have to control you. Like your son transferring colleges, making bold moves requires courage—not the absence of fear, but the refusal to let fear dictate the outcome. Misalignment drains purpose. Social media and the grind can push us off track, but when we chase things that don't align with who we are, fulfillment disappears. Realignment brings energy back. Your purpose is about impact. Purpose isn't just what you do—it's what happens in others because of what you do. And in turn, that outward focus fuels your own fulfillment. Small actions shape culture. Holding doors, smiling at neighbors, saying hello—these simple choices ripple outward. Every interaction is a chance to build a world that feels more connected.One TruthYou're never stuck—every season brings the chance to realign with your purpose and choose the life you want to live.

In this episode, Clint sits down with Patti Johnson, founder and former CEO of PeopleResults and author of the bestselling book “Make Waves.” She and Clint dive into the power of taking small steps toward big goals, the difference between healthy self-doubt and imposter syndrome, and how to spot what's in your “backpack” – those beliefs and habits that shape your leadership style. Patti also introduces the concept of a "Wavemaker" and explains how anyone, not just people in charge, can become a catalyst for change. This is the first part of a two-part conversation.

Dr. Leor Roseman, Senior Lecturer and Psychedelic Researcher at the University of Exeter, has explore this avenue. His study “Relational Processes in Ayahuasca Groups of Palestinians and Israelis” a few years ago, was fascinating.I read about it in 2021, (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8170481/) and we recorded the first podcast. To me the idea made a lot of sense. Now, with the urgency amid the current situation after October 7th, his work seems more important than ever. In his scientific work Leor examines how psychedelics can serve as peacemaking tools by altering consciousness through a biopsychosocial lens, incorporating neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and phenom enology. With a background at the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London, under Prof. Robin Carhart-Harris and Prof. David Nutt, Leor was curious how psychedelics now can deliver a new peacemaking tool. His foundation Ripples, a non-profit dedicated to peace building supported by psychedelics, is now researching new ideas around understanding, without ignoring the actual conflict. The urgency right now is on the Israel and Palestine Conflict. But his work can be valid for other conflicted parties too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In episode 523 of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast, I'm talking with Haley Stuart, filmmaker, environmentalist, and whitewater instructor. Haley joins us to discuss her work protecting rivers, collaborating with communities across the Americas, and raising awareness about mega hydroelectric impacts. Her journey inspires meaningful action for lasting environmental change. Show Notes What if I told you that rivers could teach us more about life than a self-help book ever could? What Happened: When Haley Stuart first dipped her paddle into a river, she wasn't chasing adrenaline—she was running headfirst into her fears. Growing up in suburban New York, she didn't even know kayaking was a sport. It wasn't until she attended a kayaking-focused high school (yes, those exist!) that she realized rivers weren't just a setting for adventures—they were life itself, rushing and relentless, filled with twists, turns, and lessons. At first, the sport terrified her. But over time, the pull of the water and the tight-knit community of paddlers won her over. What started as a hesitant curiosity turned into an unshakable passion. Traveling the world, Haley discovered the hard truth: many of the rivers she loved were under threat—from dams, mining, and neglect. She couldn't sit by and watch them disappear. That's when everything changed. She met indigenous communities who lived alongside these rivers, fighting daily battles to protect what had sustained them for generations. Haley realized something profound: saving rivers wasn't just about ecology—it was about people, too. And through her work, she's helping amplify their voices, blending storytelling, conservation, and sheer grit to make an impact. Principle: The heart of Haley's story? Real change starts when we listen. Listen to the rivers, the people who live near them, and the truth about what's really happening in the world's wildest places. Many of us dream of adventure, but few think about what happens when those landscapes are lost. It's not enough to explore the outdoors—we need to protect it. Transition: Too often, we underestimate the power of our choices—what we support, what we fight for, or even where we decide to paddle. We think, "Someone else will handle it," or "What difference can I make?" But here's the truth: you matter more than you think. Haley's work reminds us that our adventures and the decisions we make along the way can transform the fate of entire ecosystems and the communities they sustain. That's Why: That's why this week's episode of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast is a must-listen. Haley's journey from nervous kayaker to river conservationist will inspire you to think differently about the waterways we all rely on—and how you can play a role in preserving them. Call to Action: Are you ready to discover the adventure, responsibility, and heart that comes with loving rivers? Tune in to hear Haley's story. Don't just explore the outdoors—help protect it for the next generation. Amazonian Rivers Initiative Rios to Rivers Tuichi River Paddle Tribal Waters & Kayakimün

On this week's episode of Out and About, Dr. Mae Gilliland of ArtsPartners of Central Illinois talks with Jessica Bingham, co-founder of Project 1612, about Ripples: The 10th Anniversary Invitational.

In this powerful reflection episode, Tara shares one of the most impactful moments of her career—her conversation with Jordyn Zimmerman during the 2025 Preschool Autism Summit. Together, they unpack the importance of presuming competence, providing early AAC access, and creating neurodiversity-affirming learning spaces. Tara also shares emotional ripple stories from participants, illustrating how nearly 50,000 educators and therapists are creating waves of change for autistic children around the world. Key Takeaways: Presume competence—always. Speech is not the same as intelligence, and we must stop making assumptions based on verbal ability. Non-speaking ≠ non-verbal. The term “non-verbal” implies a lack of language; “non-speaking” affirms that language exists, even without speech. There are no prerequisites for AAC. Children do not need to match, point, or “behave” a certain way before receiving access to communication tools. PECS is not a communication system. It is a requesting system and does not provide full language access. AAC must include access to robust, literacy-based tools. Limiting a child to a core board or basic images restricts their ability to truly communicate. Talking about students in front of them causes real harm. Many non-speaking students hear and understand far more than people assume. Lack of access to communication is traumatic. It can lead to emotional and physical distress—and we have a responsibility to prevent that. Real inclusion means access, not separation. Segregated classrooms limit growth and potential; all students deserve meaningful academic instruction. Educators are making real-time ripples. From texting SLPs during the summit to creating team trainings, attendees are already pushing change. Small shifts create big waves. With over 49,000 participants, the summit's ripple effect may reach nearly half a million autistic children—and it all starts with choosing compassion over compliance.

Geomagnetic storms have been occurring with more frequency this year, and it could be causing problems for production agriculture in unlikely areas. Ben Jarboe discusses it with Shawn Dahl, the service coordinator at the space weather prediction center. He says some of the effects these storms have on agriculture here in the US causes damage passersby may not see. For example, Dahl says that one storm last May caused a 500 million dollar loss in the corn industry alone.

If you throw a rock into a still pond, waves ripple outward. They jiggle the leaves and bugs on the surface, shaking things up a bit. And the same thing happens in the stars. In fact, a giant region of the sky is still feeling some “ripples” today. The Scorpius-Centaurus O-B Association contains many stars of classes O and B – the hottest and brightest stars in the galaxy. It spans hundreds of light-years, and contains thousands of stars. And more stars are being born there today. The association began as a massive cloud of gas and dust. About 20 million years ago, it produced a big “wave” of starbirth. Many of the newborn stars quickly exploded as supernovas. That outburst was the “stone” in the pond. Strong winds and shockwaves from the stars rippled outward. That triggered the birth of more stars in the surrounding cloud. The rate of starbirth peaked about 15 million years ago. But the ripples didn’t stop. They created a smaller outburst about 10 million years ago, and another about five million years ago. Most of the stars in the region are no bigger than the Sun. But a few are big, heavy, and bright – monster stars born from the ripples in a galactic pond. Many of these monsters are in Scorpius, which is low in the south at nightfall, to the right of the Moon. It’s marked by the scorpion’s bright “heart,” the star Antares – the most prominent member of the Scorpius-Centaurus Association. Script by Damond Benningfield

Karma is viewed as a fundamental principle in the spiritual world, suggesting that everything we do, say, and even think generates consequences that eventually come back to us, whether in this life or in the future. My guests, Lama Lhanang Rinpoche and Mordy Levine, believe that karma influences not only our individual situations but also the broader social landscape. They are here to share their insights on its impact and to suggest a constructive way to move forward. Lama Lhanang Rinpoche was born in the Amdo region of historic Tibet and received a traditional monastic education and later studied under several respected Tibetan lamas. Today, he teaches Vajrayana Buddhism at the Jigme Lingpa Center in San Diego, California. Mordy Levine is an entrepreneur, meditation teacher, and the president of the Jigme Lingpa Center. He also created the Meditation Pro Series, a meditation program designed to alleviate chronic health issues. In this discussion, Lama and Mordy demonstrate the principles of karma in everyday life and suggest ways to cultivate positive karma. They draw from the Buddhist perspective, highlighting how it fosters compassion, joy, and inner peace amidst the uncertainties of life.
