Podcast appearances and mentions of Robert Green

True Crime Tuesday presents Only Way Out with New York Times Best Selling Author, Tod Goldberg! A luckless thief's wrong turn becomes a crooked cop's fortune in a wild ride of a thriller by a New York Times bestselling author. Failed lawyer Robert Green has such a good plan: Crack three hundred safe-deposit boxes and sail off to South America with his brilliant, morally flexible sister, Penny. If it weren't for the damned freezing rain. In the dying resort town of Granite Shores, cop Jack Biddle is self-appointed king—mostly of bad decisions. Between his family's crumbling legacy, a wife who just joined the city council, and life-threatening gambling debts, Jack's looking for a way out. Then he spots a van spinning off a mountain road into the valley below. In the wreckage, Jack finds a very dead Robert, millions in heisted loot…and opportunity. All Jack has to do is clean up the mess, disappear Robert's body, make off with the fortune, and not get caught. One hitch is Penny. Another is Mitch Diamond, a wild card ex-con who knows more about the missing fortune than he lets on. Jack, Penny, and Mitch each have an endgame. But there's only one way out, and they're crashing headlong toward it. We talk to Tod about his unique approach to this one off book, how he approaches writing his villains, where we might have seen the character of "Mitch Diamond" before, and some of the other juicy plot points of this amazing new book!

Storms of Life (Eye on the Sky) | Robert Green by Fondren Church

Storms of Life (Storm Chasing) | Robert Green by Fondren Church

In this episode of Out of the Clouds host Anne Mühlethaler explores the evolution of digital spaces with Sari Azout, founder of Sublime, a personal knowledge management tool for creatives. Born in Barranquilla, Colombia — the magical hometown of Shakira and Gabriel García Márquez — Sari describes herself as a cerebral child who found her intellectual home first at Brown University, where she developed a "fiercely independent mindset" and discovered the joy of the library as a social space.With remarkable foresight( Sari "could always see around corners") she strategically planned her path to remain in the U.S. as an international student and got into banking, ultimately landing at Barclays during the 2008 financial crisis. This experience taught her valuable lessons about the importance of connecting work to meaningful impact.Next the pair discuss Sari's project, Sublime. Sari articulates her vision as both practical and philosophical, calling it "the personal knowledge management tool of my dreams." She explains that in a world where "intelligence is being commoditized," what remains valuable are "conviction, point of view, courage, intention — the artist's way." This connects to her writing practice, which has revealed that "ideas never come to me before I write. They always come to me in the process of writing."Their conversation delves into Sublime's three core promises: never lose a valuable idea, never be uninspired, and transform from passive consumption to active creation. Sari emphasizes wanting to "facilitate helping people make things, not just consume things," noting that "being a consumer is just a state of helplessness." Drawing inspiration from books and Marshall McLuhan's quote that "the medium is the message," she envisions a "sublime internet" that moves away from quantifiable metrics toward meaningful engagement.Sari also speaks candidly about the tension between selfishness and selflessness in entrepreneurship, and her "willingness to be misunderstood for a longer period." She shares her vision of transitioning from the attention economy to the intention economy, reframing digital tools as something "people use instead of products people consume."The episode concludes with Sari sharing her perspective on happiness and describing her version of "paradise on earth" as working all day alone in anticipation of an evening in great company. This interview with Sari is a fascinating exploration of how we might build more intentional, meaningful digital spaces that serve our creativity rather than just our consumption.

Storms of Life (Shelter in the Storm) | Robert Green by Fondren Church

This episode comes from Coventry where thirty year old Thomas Coleman was taking a horticultural course to get the experience needed for a permanent job. There he met a man ten years his junior, Robert Green who was on the same course. The pair struck up a friendship of sorts, although the two men were markedly different people. For instance, Robert Green sported a satanic symbol tattooed across his forehead whilst Thomas Coleman placed great faith in his Christian beliefs – as you can see, not the most obvious of friends.When Green believed the Devil had told him to make a human sacrifice, the man he chose to attack was his quiet and gentle work colleague, Thomas Coleman.Writing Credit: Chris WoodYou can buy Chris's second book, 'Death in the Theatre' here: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Theatre-Chris-Wood/dp/1399009117Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comSupport me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrime Hosted on Acast.

Unlock the secrets of human behavior and power dynamics with our fascinating conversation featuring Robert Greene, the mastermind behind bestsellers like "The 48 Laws of Power" and "The Laws of Human Nature." Discover how Greene's rigorous research, involving the reading of hundreds of books, shapes his understanding of the primal instincts that continue to steer our behaviors today. We also tackle humanity's perpetual quest for belief systems, whether religious, political, or philosophical, and how these beliefs fuel our sense of purpose. As we journey through the intricacies of leadership and power, we question whether the alpha-follower hierarchy is a natural aspect of humanity or a cunning construct. With captivating historical and modern examples, we explore the mixed emotions societies harbor towards their leaders—admiring their guidance yet often resenting their power. Greene's insights shed light on the timeless tension between authority and individual aspirations, offering a nuanced perspective on why this ambivalence persists. Finally, we navigate the absence of traditional initiation rituals in modern society and their impact on young people seeking direction. Reflecting on themes from Greene's book "Mastery," we emphasize the importance of individuality in a world that often pressures conformity. Through the stories of figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Greene's own journey to authorship, the discussion uncovers the rewarding process of personal growth and finding one's calling. Join us as we conclude with gratitude and an invitation to further explore these profound topics. --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS --------- (0:00:01) - Robert Greene on Human Nature Interview (0:05:36) - Belief Systems and Dark Personalities (0:22:17) - Initiation Rituals (0:31:35) - Conformity and Ego Death (0:47:39) - Final Gratitude and Promotion --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS WITH SHORT KEY POINTS --------- (0:00:01) - Robert Greene on Human Nature Interview Renowned author Robert Green discusses humanity's belief in fate, primal instincts, and the impact of religion on intellectual development.
