Voices of Courage with Ken D Foster How Poetry Heals: Words, Seasonal Affective Disorder and Transcendence with Norman Rosenthal Ken D. Foster talks with psychiatrist and author Dr. Norman Rosenthal about how poetry can heal grief and trauma, why he first described seasonal affective disorder, and how Transcendental Meditation shapes his forthcoming book on unity. A Show Built On the Power of Words Ken D. Foster opens Voices of Courage with a preview of the conversation to come, reading a few lines from a poem before rolling the show's intro theme and returning to formally welcome listeners. He tells his audience that words carry an energy, a frequency and a vibration connected deeply to the psyche, and that reading a poem can make the world seem to disappear, carrying a listener back into memory or forward into peace and presence. Foster mentions that he has spent roughly thirty years writing poems himself and has a forthcoming poetry collection called "Echoes of Courage and Grace: Reflections from the Journey Within." He explains that poetry can bypass people's defenses, awaken memory, reveal truth and restore hope in ways ordinary words sometimes cannot. He then introduces his guest, a psychiatrist he says will help listeners understand where words can transform how they think, communicate and show up in the world. Introducing Dr. Norman Rosenthal Foster formally introduces Dr. Norman Rosenthal, welcoming him back to the show and describing him as a psychiatrist who understands darkness from both a scientific and deeply human perspective. He notes that Rosenthal led the team that first described seasonal affective disorder, known as SAD, and that his pioneering work on light therapy has helped millions of people, along with his exploration of meditation, adversity and resilience. Foster highlights Rosenthal's book "Poetry Rx: How 50 Inspiring Poems Can Heal and Bring You Joy to Your Life," calling him a New York Times best-selling author. Rosenthal thanks Foster for having him back. Foster explains he wants to start with poetry, calling it a door to the soul, and mentions his niece in Washington, D.C. who is depressed, wondering aloud whether Rosenthal's book might help her. He asks directly why Rosenthal wrote "Poetry Rx" and what the book is about, opening the door for Rosenthal's story about a phone call with a grieving friend. The Origin Story and Why Words Heal Rosenthal tells Foster the book began with a phone call from a grieving friend who had lost someone dear and asked how he would ever manage. Rosenthal told him that losing is an art that, like any art form, can be developed, prompting his friend to read Elizabeth Bishop's villanelle "One Art" aloud over the phone. Rosenthal recalls feeling the man's relief and his own sense of elation, realizing in that moment that words can actually heal. Foster then asks Rosenthal, as a scientist and psychiatrist, why words heal at all. Rosenthal explains that words carry both meaning and music, a combination that has drawn people around fires for thousands of years to share poetry that produces hope, potency or anger. He says this taps into primitive cognitive and visceral areas of the mind. Foster asks how a poem that triggers anger can still lead someone toward peace, and Rosenthal answers with Dylan Thomas's "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night," written to his dying father, reading several lines aloud. Grief, Struggle and the Music of Words The conversation moves through several more poems Rosenthal has collected. He reads "Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep," telling the story of a Baltimore woman who wrote it for a German refugee unable to return to her dying mother during World War II, and says it gave the most comfort to people he has shared it with who were grieving or dying themselves. He then reads Theodore Roethke's "The Waking," describing how the Pulitzer Prize winner captured the daily struggle of simply getting up in the morning. Foster and Rosenthal discuss poetic structures, from sonnets and villanelles to free verse and the ghazal, before Rosenthal reads Gwendolyn Brooks's short poem "We Real Cool." Turning to why some people resist poetry, Rosenthal argues they may love songs and ballads without realizing these belong to the same family as poetry. He invokes Marshall McLuhan's line that "the medium is the message," arguing that real connectedness, whether around a dinner table or in a poem, communicates that a person matters. Listening, Silence and a Letter to a Mother Foster shifts the conversation toward listening itself, describing himself as a long-term meditator who believes stillness is the key to writing and connecting with the divine part of oneself. Rosenthal responds by reading Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," noting that the poem's quiet imagery magnifies every small sound through silence. Foster compares the experience to cycling, describing a "zone" where time seems to collapse while doing something he loves, and says poetry brings him into that same deep inward space. Rosenthal then shares a personal poem, "Letter to Mother" by Nobel laureate Salvatore Quasimodo, which he read repeatedly before leaving South Africa for the United States, knowing he was leaving his family behind. He describes the poem's closing image of a kitchen clock with an enamel dial and painted flowers, and says he later bought such a clock from Italy that he and his wife still look at, thinking of the people they left behind. Seasonal Affective Disorder, Meditation and Closing Thoughts Foster asks Rosenthal to reflect on his own journey, and Rosenthal answers with gratitude, recalling a near-fatal assault at age twenty-four and crediting the National Institute of Mental Health's funding for making his seasonal affective disorder research possible. The two turn to SAD itself, with Rosenthal describing how his own move from sunny South Africa to New York exposed him and his wife to lethargy, oversleeping and difficulty socializing once daylight savings time shortened the days. He recommends morning light exposure, outdoor walking, staying socially connected and, in some cases, an antidepressant, pointing listeners to his book "Defeating SAD." Foster shares his own story of hearing an inner voice in 1992 tell him he had to feel the pain to make the change. Rosenthal then describes practicing Transcendental Meditation twice daily and outlines stages of consciousness explored in his books "Transcendence" and "Super Mind," previewing a forthcoming book, "Unity," about healing societal division. Foster closes by pointing listeners to Rosenthal's books on Amazon and signing off with the show's closing line.

In deze aflevering deel 2 van mijn gesprek met Bart van den Hurk, klimaatwetenschapper bij het IPCC en wetenschappelijk directeur bij Deltares. We zoomen in op klimaatcommunicatie met als startpunt het boek 'F*ck de klimaatverandering?!', waarin 10 communicatiestrategen antwoord geven op de vraag hoe Nike klimaatverandering zou verkopen. Met Bart sta ik stil bij de aanpak van het IPCC en of zij meer 'streetwise' kunnen communiceren. En zitten mensen te wachten op boze wetenschappers? Hij gaat in op het herverdelingsvraagstuk van klimaatverandering, het verschil tussen wetenschap en beleid en waar ze elkaar (niet) versterken. Ook bespreken we het burgerberaad, 'longtermism' en het triple i model van Wieke Pot. Daarna gaat Bart in op inspanningsverplichting: wie zou wat moeten doen om het klimaat te beschermen? Wat is de rol van een oliebedrijf als BP en hoe verhoudt die zich tot tweeverdieners met 2 auto's voor de deur? Als afsluiter staan we stil bij creatieve manieren om te communiceren over klimaat. Denk aan Tim van Hattum met zijn boek en theatershow en Peter Kuipers Munneke die met pianist Ralph van Raat klassieke muziek aan het weer en het klimaat koppelt. Ook deelt Bart een gedicht waar hij veel inspiratie uit haalt van Robert Frost uit 1915, 'The Road Not Taken'.

I chose the title “Water Creatures” because it elicits the flexibility of symbolic thought, which is the subject of today's message.“Elicits from where?” you ask.From within you.“Water” followed by “Creatures” causes you to imagine living things in a liquid world where slippery creatures wiggle through water more elegantly than birds through the air, occasionally bursting through the barrier that separates their world from our own. We see them briefly above the waterline.Symbolic language allows your listener to personalize your story and participate in it by supplying details that you did not include.Symbolic language gives you access to the thoughts and beliefs and hopes and dreams and suspicions that lie deep in the hearts of your listeners.This is what people are talking about when they speak of “listener engagement.”John Steinbeck describes this process in his preface to “East of Eden.”“The reader will take from my book what he brings to it. The dull witted will get dullness and the brilliant may find things in my book I didn't know were there.”Symbolic language causes the subconscious to become active.We did this together last week when we alternated a series of non-rhyming lines from unrelated works of literature and then layered those lines like a lasagna to see what they would say to the subconscious mind.After each line is read, I will inject my own reaction.Something there is that doesn't love a wall. (a desire to cross a barrier)Darkness settles on the city (the world grows dark)of man's first disobedience, and the fruit. (disobedience and fruit)Children playing in the garden. (innocence in a garden)To be, or not to be, that is the question. (Life? Or Death? A choice.)Winter brings a bit of sadness. (Loss of light and warmth)Silence covers hidden places.(Silence and hiding)When those random lines are considered collectively, I am reminded of an ancient story in the third chapter of Genesis.(And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?Adam said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”)Those random lines triggered the third chapter of Genesis in my mind. Your reaction may have been been entirely different.We take from the story what we bring to it. This is the nature and the wonder of symbolic language.Bob Dylan won a Nobel Prize for it.Do you doubt me?Let's look at the lyrics of Dylan's greatest hits. I believe that you will quickly recognize their flavor to be a reduction sauce of symbolic thoughts created by a master chef, a concentrated liquid as dark as the deepest waters.How does it feel, how does it feel?To be on your own, with no direction homeA complete unknown, like a rolling stoneAh you never turned around to see the frownsOn the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for youYou never understood that it ain't no goodYou shouldn't let other people get your kicks for youYou used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomatWho carried on his shoulder a Siamese catAin't it hard when you discovered thatHe really wasn't where it's at.– Bob Dylan, Like A Rolling Stone © Universal Music Publishing GroupHow many roads must a man walk downBefore you call him a man?Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sailBefore she sleeps in the sand?– Bob Dylan, Blowin' in the Wind © 1962 by Warner Bros.Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meI'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going toHey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meIn the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' youThen take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mindDown the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leavesThe haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beachFar from the twisted reach of crazy sorrowYes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving freeSilhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sandsWith all memory and fate driven deep beneath the wavesLet me forget about today until tomorrow– Bob Dylan, Mr. Tambourine Man, © 1964, 1965 by Warner Bros.Take a deep breath, friend, because we are going under again.I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hailPoisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trailHunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' thereWith silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hairShe walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lostI took too much for granted, got my signals crossedJust to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mountBut nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that countsAnd the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”– Bob Dylan, Shelter from the Storm, © 1974 by Ram's Horn MusicChef, can you make a reduction sauce?Do you know how to create a bubbling brew of symbolic thoughts that will become a crossword puzzle in our minds?Do not think it is randomness, for it most certainly is not. Randomness is quickly recognized as the handiwork of a fool.The mystery and magic of symbolic language is that we know for certain that it means something. And it is up to each of us to figure out, for ourselves, what it is.Robert Frost knew this better than any man.When people would ask him, “What were you trying to say when you wrote such-and-such?” Frost would always answer, “What did it say to you?”Regardless of the answer they gave him, Robert Frost would smile and reply, “That is exactly what I was trying to say.”Learn to use symbolic language.Your heart already knows how.Now you must teach your mind.Readers will take from today's Monday Morning Memo what they bring to it. The dull witted will find dullness, and the brilliant will find things I didn't know were there.Roy H. Williams“If a story is not about the hearer he will not listen. And here I make a rule – a great and interesting story is about everyone or it will not last.” – John Steinbeck The wizard says this is also true of ads that bond the hearts of customers to a brand. – Indy BeagleDoug Noll is a well-known consultant to executives and entrepreneurs. He gives them essentially the same advice that the Wizard of Ads has been giving you for the past 32 years: “Win the heart, and the mind will follow.”Doug says that strong leadership begins with the understanding of a simple truth: People are emotional beings, and their nervous systems shape how they respond at work. “Employers,” he tells roving reporter Rotbart, “should stop thinking of their staff as rational, and recognize instead how strongly their emotions drive their actions and decisions on the job.”Doug says that leaders who understand this fundamental truth reduce workplace conflict and get more productive results from their people.

Acclaimed songwriter and poet Amy Speace joins Jamie on Jrodconcerts: The Podcast for an intimate conversation on creative reinvention, the endurance of the touring artist, and the craft of storytelling across mediums. Before establishing herself as a staple of contemporary folk and Americana, Speace spent years living in a van touring classical Shakespeare with a New York theater company. In her late twenties, an empty apartment, a bad breakup, and a cheap garage-sale guitar set off a complete artistic rebirth. Amy reflects on pounding the pavement in Greenwich Village during the 2000s, the life-altering moment she was discovered and mentored by the iconic Judy Collins, and why having just one person champion your work changes everything. Now entering a rich new chapter with her debut poetry collection, The Cardinals (Red Hen Press), and its companion single “Days of Letting Go,” Amy breaks down the structural differences between verse and song. She shares how her grandmother introduced her to Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson, why modern East Nashville streetscapes demand honest observation, the raw vulnerability behind writing about fertility and genetics in poems like "Egg Donor #2346," and how she balances intimate literary readings with full acoustic arrangements on stage. The episode concludes with a performance of "There Used to Be Horses Here." Episode Highlights: Transitioning from classical stage actor to self-taught songwriter The 2000s New York demo hustle and the Greenwich Village folk circuit The mentorship of Judy Collins and creative fearlessness Literary lineages: Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, and grandmother Rosalie Capturing East Nashville in poetry vs. the confines of a three-minute folk song Truth, genetics, and motherhood in lyric verse Bridging indie bookstores and legendary listening rooms on tour Acoustic performance: "There Used to Be Horses Here" Connect with Amy Speace: Website: amyspeace.com Debut Poetry Collection: The Cardinals (Available via Red Hen Press) Music & Tour Dates: amyspeace.com/tour Connect with Jrodconcerts: Website: jrodconcertsmedia.com Instagram: @jrodconcertsmedia Support & Subscribe: Rate and review Jrodconcerts: The Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, Adam Plunkett chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about Love and Need: The Life of Robert Frost's Poetry. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: Why Adam Plunkett spent a decade researching Frost's life, including accessing previously overlooked audio archives of 500 tapes of Frost's readings and interviews. Love and Need blends biography and literary criticism.  How Adam grounded critical arguments in meticulous examination of source materials. Adam explored the ‘love and need dynamic' central to Frost's creativity by interpretating the nature of the poet's closest relationships. Adam portrayed Frost's poetry as having its own life, crafting an object biography to show how the poet lived for his art. Why Adam avoided a comprehensive cradle-to-grave structure.

This is a country ballad version of Robert Frost's famous poem, Two Roads Diverged in a Yellow Wood. His ultimate advice: Take the road less traveled by, and that will make all the difference.I have often followed this advice in writing books as well as in marketing books. It's fun and often profitable to take chances via alternative options, to go in directions different from what every other author or marketer is doing. It helps you stand out.Two Roads Diverged in a Yellow Wood lyricsTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.Book Marketing Success is a reader-supported publication.

We haven't spoken about poetry for a while, so in today's episode we'll explore one of the most famous poems in English literature, The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. We'll read the poem and break it down in simple, clear English to help you understand both its meaning and its language. We will look at the key vocabulary, the imagery of the two roads, and some deeper ideas about choices and life decisions. By the end of the episode, we hope you'll not only understand the poem more clearly, but that you'll also feel more confident about how to approach English poetry in general.  Show notes and more podcasts to improve your English at: http://www.inglespodcast.com/   Las notas del episodio y más podcasts para mejorar tu ingles están en: http://www.inglespodcast.com/  

After more than 800 episodes, I've observed that many of my remarkable guests are connected by one or more common threads. Each episode of Special Collections focuses on a particular thread that ties together some of my guests. In this episode, that common thread is poetry. This episode features five remarkable, world-class poets who have expanded the range of artistic expression featured on this podcast. When I started this podcast just over five years ago, as a musician myself, I focused primarily on great musicians as my guests. But as those guests began introducing me to other artists, a wonderful development occurred: my focus expanded to include other creative disciplines, including poetry. And my first poet guest led me to the second, and so on. I've now built a roster of extraordinary poets — and I look forward to continuing to add to it. What makes poetry especially interesting to me is that I've adapted the SongFest portion of each interview — which I do with my musician guests — into a PoetryFest segment for my poet guests, where they read one of their works live on the air. I love it. So with that in mind, let me reintroduce these five remarkable poets and share a portion of the poem each performed live on the podcast. ⸻ Robert Pinsky is a three-time United States Poet Laureate. He has received numerous awards and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. He created the Favorite Poem Project, has performed with Bruce Springsteen, and was featured on The Simpsons.   Paul Muldoon is a Pulitzer Prize–winning Irish poet. He is the editor of Paul McCartney's book The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present. He is also the author of 15 collections of poetry and has been a professor at Princeton for more than 35 years.   Rowan Ricardo Phillips is an award-winning poet and writer, with works including Silver, The Ground, and Heaven. He is also a sportswriter and serves as the poetry editor of The New Republic.   Tom Sleigh is an award-winning poet, dramatist, and essayist. He has written 11 books of poetry, including The King's Touch, Army Cats, and Space Walk.   Declan Ryan is an Irish poet now based in London. His first collection is titled Crisis Actor. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, The Guardian, The Observer, and The Irish Times.   So there it is — five extraordinary poets who have been guests on this podcast. As I mentioned during their interviews, poetry is not always emphasized in American education. My own exposure was limited to classics like “Trees” by Joyce Kilmer and “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. But the art of poetry stands alongside all the other arts, and I'm proud to feature these great poets on the podcast — and I look forward to presenting more. Thank you for listening, and stay tuned for another Special Collections episode soon. This is Robert Miller with Follow Your Dream.      

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. –Robert Frost Check out John Lee Dumas' award winning Podcast Entrepreneurs on Fire on your favorite podcast directory.

Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, where I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious.I had the opportunity to interview Maestro Swafford in person and then attend a recording of his tone poem Late Autumn-First Snow at Abbey Road. The orchestra that day was formed from members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the marvellous Michael Shapiro. Our conversation includes some of Jan's thoughts behind the composition, including the inclusion of the Robert Frost poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. Thanks to Jan for allowing me to play extracts from Midsummer and River alongside our conversation. Jan gave us an insight into how he comes up with ideas for his music and their titles.Get in touch to let me know what you think!Thank you for listening to Harmonious World.

By the middle of the twentieth century, Robert Frost was widely regarded as America's most popular poet, beloved for the simple, sincere verses that took readers on journeys through the wooded roads of rural New England, accompanied by Frost's wry observations and hardscrabble truths. Just a few years after Frost's death, a scathing biography by Lawrance Thompson painted a different picture of the man, which led critic Helen Vendler to ask, in her review of the biography, whether it was possible to avoid the conclusion that Frost had actually been a "monster." In this episode, Jacke talks to critic and author Adam Plunkett about his new book, Love and Need: The Life of Robert Frost's Poetry, a major new biography that challenges our understanding of Frost's life and poetic legacy. PLUS Ursula Buchan (Beyond the Thirty-Nine Steps: A Life of John Buchan) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read. The music in this episode is by Gabriel Ruiz-Bernal.

Frank welcomes back occult researcher and Illuminati Watcher founder Isaac Weishaupt for the first time in two years to break down the most coordinated predictive programming rollout we have seen yet. The final trailer for Steven Spielberg's "Disclosure" just dropped, and Isaac argues Spielberg is the king of subconscious programming, hired specifically to walk the public into accepting the alien origin story right as the White House activates aliens.gov and the Department of War begins releasing files. The conversation goes deep. Isaac shares his late nineties ghost hunting story that drove him into Orthodox Christianity and the conclusion that the phenomenon is angels and demons, not little gray men. They cover Jordy Rose summoning Lovecraftian entities through quantum computing, Rudolf Steiner's century-old prediction that vaccines would inoculate the soul, and the CCRU collective whose member Nick Land claims he made contact with entities from the future who use capitalism to manifest AI. From there it is Curtis Yarvin, Peter Thiel's Antichrist lectures, and the 23andMe CIA Nordic bloodline hunt. Then Frank closes with the White House Harambe tweet at ten years, meme magic in 2016, and a Robert Frost parody from John Ward to send everyone off.

In preparation for next week's conversation with Adam Plunkett, author of a new major biography of Robert Frost (1874-1963), we revisit an earlier episode about the widely anthologized (and often misunderstood) New England poet. In this episode, which first aired in 2017 as Episode 93, Jacke dives into a curious but compelling story from the years just before World War I, when a struggling Frost hastily packed up his family and moved to London in search of a friend. Although Frost's efforts to ingratiate himself with W.B. Yeats and Ezra Pound fizzled, he soon found a man, critic Edward Thomas (1878-1917), who championed Frost's poetry and became one of Frost's best friends. Frost in turn inspired Thomas to write his own poetry – until something happened on one of their walks in the woods that would forever change them both. Professor Bill Hogan of Providence College joins Jacke to recount the full story of Frost and Thomas: their friendship, their falling out, and how one of Frost's (and America's) most famous poems, “The Road Not Taken,” inspired by Frost's views of Thomas, has been widely misunderstood by generations of readers.

(Celebrating 80yrs of spectacular community radio!) The Barnstormers Theatre is celebrating 96yrs and Jordan Ahnquist, Artistic Director and Kate Middleton (with a her new title and duties) stop by the WKXL NH Unscripted studios to tell us all about it. And it's a packed season. A “Summer Soiree Gala” in June, a one person show about Robert Frost, Agatha Christie Murder Mystery, the play called “One of the longest-running non-musical plays in the world…”, “a must-see new play that follows a typical board meeting on what seems like a typical day…” and a play that's “Often hailed as one of the most charming musicals ever written." And that's just scratching the surface!!!

El salto de fe cambia tu mirada. Independientemente del resultado, el salto de fe deja una marca. Es una marca secreta, solo reconocible por quienes pagaron el precio. Luis Alberto lleva esa marca. Recuenco lleva esa marca. Yo llevo esa marca. No sabría explicarte qué es pero puedo reconocer por la calle a los que dieron el paso. Algo cambia en esos ojos, que ya no vuelven a sentir el miedo paralizante. Este podcast tiene muchas similitudes con los dos episodios de Recuenco porque Luis Alberto también se la ha jugado, pagando el precio personal más alto. Las barreras de entrada, en las empresas y en las carreras profesionales, se esconden en las rutas inesperadas. Tomar tus propias decisiones, cometer tus propios errores, es lo que te dará una ventaja. Solo tú puedes emprender ese camino y así construyes el propósito deseado. Es esta una idea que no puede comprender el que nunca tuvo intención de saltar. En el momento de máxima presión, cuando todos te susurran al oído que no lo hagas, tú decides dar el paso. Esa es la decisión más difícil. Esa es la decisión que todo lo cambia.Aquí tienes algunos links para conocer el fantástico proyecto educativo de Value School:La formación de Value School.Los libros de Value School.El podcast de Value School.Mi conferencia en Value School.Kapital es posible gracias a sus colaboradores:⁠⁠El Proyecto K⁠⁠.

A Boy's Will is Robert Frost's first full volume of poetry. Issued when Frost was approaching forty, it established his reputation and created a revolution in American poetry. With this publication, Frost became an established poet. He later became the major American poet of the twentieth century.A Boy's Will is characteristic of Frost's ability to conjure photographically clear physical images while ruminating on the complexities of the human condition, its frailties and strengths, and its temporal state, like that of his beloved New England landscape.

"Smart lad, to slip betimes away/From fields where glory does not stay..."This line indicates one of the key themes in the poem "To an Athlete Dying Young" by A.E. Housman. With this being National Poetry Month, I am reading and talking about poems that I find particularly powerful, inspirational, and meaningful, so today I am talking about this poem. Monday, I started with "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, and Wednesday, I talked about "If" by Rudyard Kipling. I said that you've probably heard both of those poems before, and you may have read them in your English/Language Arts class when you were in school. While not as popular as the other two, I imagine "To an Athlete Dying Young" may be another poem you read in school, too.As always, I am so grateful to all of you who support the podcast!

"If you can keep your head when all about you/Are losing theirs and blaming it on you..."These lines begin the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling. The entire poem is a series of "if" lines and concepts, all talking about the many trials and tribulations we will be faced with as we go through life, and culminating in two lines to show what is waiting for us if we handle all of the "ifs" in the right way. There are so many great quotable lines and lessons for leaders and teammates throughout this poem, many of which you may have used with your teams before.With this being National Poetry Month, I am reading and talking about poems that I find particularly powerful, inspirational, and meaningful.

In this Poetry Corner episode of LAB the Podcast, we slow down with Poet and Conservatory Artist Wendy Kieffer to explore the work of Robert Frost.Together, we step into two of Frost's most iconic poems, “Fire and Ice” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” unpacking how something so brief can hold such depth. From desire and hate… to rest, responsibility, and the quiet pull of the “lovely, dark, and deep,” this conversation invites us to reflect on what's happening within our own hearts. Frost reminds us that poetry doesn't just inform, it awakens. It helps us remember what it would impoverish us to forget. And in a world constantly pulling for our attention, this episode is an invitation to pause, listen, and rediscover the beauty of reflection.Support / Sponsor LAB the Podcast: https://vuvivo.com/supportFor More Videos, Subscribe:  @VUVIVOV3 | https://www.youtube.com/@VUVIVOV3Follow: @labthepodcast | @vuvivo_v3 | @zachjelliott | @wendy.kiefferLike:  https://www.facebook.com/vuvivo.v3Order Alchemy of Praise: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1944470220?ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_3NCER8Y41NXPRQ5QE469&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_3NCER8Y41NXPRQ5QE469&social_share=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_3NCER8Y41NXPRQ5QE469&skipTwisterOG=2#vuvivo #v3 #LABthePodcast #PoetryCorner #RobertFrost #FireAndIce #StoppingByWoods #Poetry #FaithAndArt #Beauty #WendyKiefferSupport the show

This episode is part of a five-part miniseries examining James Madison's role in the American Revolution and the founding of the United States. Part of Montpelier's commemoration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, this series is funded by a grant from the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission in partnership with Virginia Humanities.What does it actually take to sustain a republic — not just to build one, but to keep it alive across generations? In this episode, part of a special five-part miniseries commemorating America's 250th anniversary, Dr. Katie Crawford-Lackey speaks with Professor Colleen Sheehan of Arizona State University, one of the foremost scholars of James Madison's political thought. Drawing on her books The Mind of James Madison and James Madison and the Spirit of Republican Self-Government, Professor Sheehan explains why Madison believed the greatest threat to the republic wasn't foreign invasion or economic collapse, but something far more internal — the capacity of citizens to deliberate well, check their own impulses, and honor what Madison called a "debt of protection" we owe to one another. From the Federalist Papers to Robert Frost, this conversation illuminates why Madison remains essential to understanding what self-government actually demands of us — and what the 250th anniversary asks of us today.

Dr. Laura Scherck Wittkoff welcomes Ann Medlock and John Graham, the founders and leaders of the Giraffe Heroes Project—an organization that has spent over 40 years celebrating ordinary people who "stick their necks out" for the common good. From their serendipitous Superman movie meet-cute to building a global movement around courage, compassion, and community, Ann and John share how storytelling became their most powerful tool for inspiring action and creating change. Key Topics Discussed The Power of Storytelling Over Preaching - John's evolution: realizing that 10,000 years of human history—from Neanderthals to troubadours—proves that **stories inspire action** in ways speeches cannot - How storytelling bypasses the mind's objections and goes straight to the heart - The role of narrative in communicating core values and inspiring heroism Redefining Courage - Courage isn't gender-specific—it's something we all possess - Ann's bold stance: firing an advisor who claimed courage was a "man's issue" - John's journey: recognizing that emotional and spiritual courage are as powerful as physical bravery - Why physical courage (climbing mountains, dodging bullets) was easier than the emotional courage required for real change The Giraffe Heroes Project: Mission & Impact - Founded in 1981 by Ann Medlock as an antidote to violence and trivia in media - Nearly 2,000 giraffes honored across 30+ fields and 16+ countries - Seven overseas affiliates extending impact globally - Civil disobedience (à la Gandhi and MLK) is celebrated; actions must benefit significant numbers of people Collaboration Over Competition - The Giraffe Heroes school program is built on collaboration, not competition - Free, digital-accessible curriculum for teachers worldwide - The program transforms classrooms: creating "communities of learners" instead of isolated, competing students - The powerful bicycle story: a student's classmates cheer when he masters riding a two-wheel bike—something that wouldn't have happened before the program Education & Youth Empowerment - Over 2,000 classroom downloads; approximately 375,000 children reached through print materials - Materials available free at Giraffe.org/teachers (email sign-up only) - The US Navy uses the program in overseas schools - Cartoon characters "Stanley" (Stand Tall) and "Beatrice" (Be Tall)—giraffe twins—tell stories to 3-year-olds about bravery and caring - Grandpa and Grandma tell different versions to reach multiple learning styles - Teachers report that kids shift from isolated to connected when exposed to the program The Ripple Effect of Recognition - Many heroes don't see themselves as heroic and are reluctant to share their stories - Telling giraffe stories inspires not just the public, but the giraffes themselves - Real example: a small-town barber doing community work thinks no one is watching—until the story is told and volunteers and support arrive - Some giraffes report they considered quitting but were re-energized by hearing their own story shared Overcoming Barriers - **Funding:** The biggest ongoing challenge. Some funders prefer direct interventions (saving redwoods, backing candidates) over storytelling - Early federal grants supported classroom curriculum development (over $1M across 10 years) - Money and mindset: convincing people that purpose-driven storytelling is as important as tactical giving - The "lightweight" perception: early critics dismissed storytelling as trivial until results were undeniable The Love Story Within the Hero Story - Ann and John met at a writer's group in New York, 1981-1982 - Ann invited John to see the original Superman movie (somewhat reluctantly) - Their three-day courtship led to a 44+ year partnership - John initially thought the giraffe concept was "lightweight" but came to see Ann as a "troubadour for our times" - Wedding entry music: Superman theme - John writes the bylaws; Ann does the creative, bold work—"it works out well" Aging, Purpose, and Public Health - Doing good has measurable health benefits, especially for aging populations - Purpose-driven service is a form of preventive medicine - Ann is 92 years old and "not quitting"; John is 83 and still creating TikToks and short-form videos - Stories of older heroes: a woman in her 80s smuggling pharmaceuticals to Central American revolutionaries, organizing environmentalists and tribes in the Pacific Northwest - The Swiss watch metaphor: a life without purpose is like a watch with no hands—what's the point? Adapting & Staying Relevant - Evolution from LPs (33s) shipped to radio stations → print materials → digital access - Now on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and other social platforms - Constantly reinventing tactics and strategies while staying true to the 1981 mission - Not falling behind culturally is essential to remaining impactful The Dream: "Giraffe" as a Verb - Ann's top wish: for "giraffe" to become a verb—"Let's giraffe this!" - Similar to how "Google" and "Kleenex" became verbs - A measure of cultural penetration and lasting impact Global Scale, Tiny Budget - Working on less than $100K annually - "Tiny but mighty" organization with genuinely global impact - Known from North America to Singapore - Seven overseas affiliates amplifying reach Inspiration from Other Heroes - Ann draws inspiration from Nelson Mandela's autobiographies and insightful life stories - John's personal mantra: Robert Frost's "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood / I took the one less traveled by / And that's all the difference" - Ann's personal song: "Whatever Lola Wants" from Damn Yankees—she's created something from nothing and keeps iterating **Website:** Giraffe.org - **Teacher Materials:** Giraffe.org/teachers (free, digital, email sign-up) - **Contact:** Laura at Small and Gutsy (laura@smallandgutsy.org) - **Social Media:** Giraffe Heroes on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts **Ann Medlock** is a freelance editor, publicist, and writer who founded the Giraffe Heroes Project in 1981. She was named an Education Innovator by the National Education Association and received the Caring Institute's Caring Award. At 92 years old, she continues to lead the organization and develop new materials. **John Graham** is the Executive Director of Giraffe Heroes. A former US Foreign Service officer, he has worked on peace initiatives across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. He has climbed Denali's north wall, hitchhiked around the world, and worked as a war correspondent. He and Ann have been partners for 44 years.
