Rod Bryant was once a Christian pastor with a thriving congregation of hundreds. Today, he teaches Torah to a global community of Noahides. In this conversation, Rod shares the remarkable journey that led him from growing up in a deeply devout Christian home in Louisiana to serving as a U.S. Army chaplain during the Gulf War, pastoring a large church, and ultimately leaving it all behind in pursuit of truth. What began as theological questions, especially about the nature of God, turned into a years-long search that led him to study Jewish texts, listen daily to Torah classes, and rethink everything he had once taught. Rod recounts the difficult moment when his search forced him to step away from the church he had built, sacrificing financial stability and reputation in order to follow where his study of Torah led him. Today he leads the Nativ Center, a community dedicated to teaching the Seven Noahide Laws and spreading universal ethical teachings rooted in the Torah. In this episode, he explains the Noahide path, the role of the Jewish people as a "light unto the nations," and why he believes the wisdom of the Torah offers a moral framework for the entire world.   This episode was made possible thanks to our sponsors: ► PZ Deals   Download the app and never pay full price again!   https://app.pz.deals/install/mpp    _________________   ► Colel Chabad Pushka App   The easiest way to give Tzedaka   https://pushkapp.cc/meaningful   _________________   ► Givat Hashalva   Givat Hashalvah is a new, vibrant, Torah-centered community rising in Givat Ze'ev, only 20 minutes from the heart of Yerushalayim.   https://go.lyo.group/4rAkXCN   _________________   ► Ness Vacation Homes   EDEN GARDENS' LARGEST LUXURY HOME COLLECTION  Handpicked, high-end homes available exclusively through Ness.

In this episode, Nik sits down with Tommy Prestella—retired Air Force C-130 pilot, R4P producer, and Shark Tank contestant—to break down the military-to–Part 121 transition and the mindset required to succeed. Together, they discuss preparation timelines, logbook best practices, and transition strategies for successfully moving from the military to the civilian aviation world. The conversation also explores why pilots naturally gravitate toward entrepreneurship, with risk management and decisiveness already built into the profession. Tommy draws compelling parallels between walking into a Part 121 interview and pitching his company on ABC's Shark Tank. From structured preparation to performing under pressure, this episode delivers practical insight for pilots navigating career transitions both inside and outside the cockpit.  CONNECT WITH US Are you ready to take your preparation to the next level?

Being "the only" in a room is exhausting. The only person of colour. The youngest person. The one everyone assumes is the "diversity hire." This episode is about the specific kind of imposter syndrome that comes with being underestimated, questioned, and hypervisible, all while trying to own your expertise in spaces that weren't designed for you.I'm exploring the difference between imposter syndrome and legitimate exclusion (sometimes what you're feeling IS real bias, not just in your head), the burden of representation, and how to own your value when others are questioning whether you belong. We'll talk about why you earned your seat, how to navigate microaggressions, the power of your unique perspective, practical strategies for taking up space, and when walking away is the healthiest option.If you're navigating rooms where you're "the only," this episode is for you. You earned your seat. You deserve to be there. And your voice matters.

Portland is offering homeowners $1,000 to rent out spare rooms for 12 months at no more than $800 a month through PadSplit or the Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon. Mayor Keith Wilson claims this 'home sharing' program is a fast and cost-effective way to increase housing stock and solve homelessness. However, critics argue that $800 is unaffordable for many homeless individuals, questioning who this program truly benefits. Past efforts, like Multnomah County's 'Housing Multnomah Now,' housed only 311 households, raising concerns about the effectiveness of incentivizing landlords. Asking homeowners to rent rooms cheaply in their own homes poses a greater challenge than renting out vacant units. The program's success remains uncertain, with participation numbers yet to be revealed.

Nothing hurts more than finding the perfect solution… to the wrong problem.

Thanks, ChatGPT, for the podcast description below, in the style of J. Peterman.   Somewhere between Willow Grove and the low skies of the Netherlands… two men misplaced their plan — and found something far better. This is not an episode. It is a wandering. It begins, as many modern pilgrimages do, in a warehouse in Pennsylvania — the mythic stronghold of Steve Weiss Music — where, once upon a time, paper catalogs arrived like sacred manuscripts and snare drums were cushioned in the Sunday Philadelphia classifieds. Rooms and rooms of instruments. Hand-packed boxes. The faint perfume of newsprint and ambition. There are Pearl Musical Instrument Company Philharmonic snare drums under fluorescent light. An Evans Drumheads pull-cord drum key that growls like a lawnmower in spring. A hanger drum once owned by Steve himself. The whispered possibility of a showroom yet to be built — a temple to mallets, tambourines, and tap shoes. And then — inevitably — the catalog. Not just any catalog. The sort made famous by Seinfeld and the indomitable J. Peterman, where a pair of brogues begins at Waterloo and a tunic vibrates with contentment beside a Peruvian river. Our hosts linger here, turning pages in memory. The purple edition. The beige edition. Eight-thousand-dollar marimbas before eight thousand felt like eight hundred thousand. The slow seduction of browsing. The thrill of ordering mallets softer than soft simply because they existed. But the road bends. Across the Atlantic, in Eindhoven, the drums begin to gather again for the Tromp International Percussion Competition — reborn, reimagined, restless. This is not merely a contest of velocity and vertical leap. It is portraiture. A black-box confession. A curated vision. Thirty minutes of artistic autobiography. A commissioned work placed like a compass needle at the center of a recital. A final collaboration with a visual artist — sound made visible, rhythm given silhouette. There are jurors with reputations forged in rosewood and resonance. There are young players on the brink of becoming leaders. There is the eternal question: when we crown someone “winner,” what are we truly naming? Somewhere in Delaware, between traffic and technique, a clinic titled Supercharging Your Marimba Technique hums with improbable confidence. There are jokes about turbocharged mallets and Philips Sonicare tremolo sticks. There is earnestness beneath the humor — the quiet desire to help another musician unlock something freer than grip and freer than fear. And woven throughout: a gentle anxiety about judging. About applications. About the strange modern ritual of compressing one's artistic soul into a recording file and sending it into the digital void. This episode roams. It laughs. It speculates about Olympic scoring and the metaphysics of cookies. It remembers the thrill of a first competition and the ache of waiting four years to try again. It is, above all, a catalogue entry for a moment in time — when two percussionists, temporarily out of their dens, take inventory of what matters: Curiosity. Community. Craft. And the lingering hope that somewhere, in a warehouse or a black box theatre, someone is still turning pages.

In this episode of The Co-Living Show, Craig Curelop and Miller McSwain welcome Harrison DeMaira, a large-scale co-living operator with experience managing everything from small townhouse conversions to 100+ unit buildings and 400-unit purpose-built co-living developments.Harrison breaks down what changes when you scale co-living into multifamily—and what operators get wrong when they assume co-living leases like traditional rentals. We cover the real leasing funnel, scrappy marketing that still works (signage + employer outreach), the operational systems you must build early, and how to think about furnishing, unit design, and resident experience at scale.We also unpack:What Common Living was and why it went defunct (and what co-living operators can learn from it)Why Harrison avoids 2-bedroom co-living unitsThe bathroom-to-resident rule he won't breakWhy leasing + marketing is the foundation that makes everything else easierOutsourcing earlier (and the accounting mistake most operators make)And an unforgettable operations story involving an emotional support duck and a missing snakeIf you're trying to fill rooms faster, scale beyond one property, or understand what multifamily co-living really looks like—this episode is for you.Follow the hosts:Miller McSwain: https://www.instagram.com/millermcswainCraig Curelop: https://www.instagram.com/craigcurelopGuest: Harrison DeMairaEmail: hpd@harrisondemaira.comIf you enjoyed the episode, please follow the show and leave a rating/review, it helps more operators find the podcast.

We're on Patreon!

Today, we are excited to welcome entrepreneur Megan Gross, founder of The Bonsoir, a boutique events firm that curates high-touch small events to bring startups and investors together. Megan is currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area and is expanding into South Florida. In this episode, she shares her journey, highlighting small, personalized events as the future of business relationships. Megan's Journey After college, Megan moved to Las Vegas to work for nightclubs, restaurants, and a major pool party. Drawn by a lifelong dream to live in Paris, she worked at the exclusive club Matignon near the Champs-Élysées as a VIP host. Although it failed to unfold as planned, it redirected her to the Bay Area, where she immersed herself in the startup ecosystem. After working on a platform of extraordinary experiences and then at Mastercard, she launched The Bonsoir as a niche, designing intimate gatherings for founders and investors,  blending hospitality and bold creativity. Bold Risks Megan believes in trusting her instincts and taking big risks, even without every detail in place. Her move to Paris and then into entrepreneurship were not calculated step-by-step strategies. They were decisions rooted in her conviction. Things did not always work out as expected, but each step redirected her toward something more aligned with her. A Competitive Advantage From the years she spent working at nightclubs, restaurants, and large-scale pool parties, Megan learned relationship skills that corporate settings seldom provide. Reading a room, remembering names, managing personalities, and creating the right energy are all directly applicable to business. As technology and automation grow, these human-centered skills become even more valuable in a digital-first world, where authentic connections truly stand out. Building Without Traditional Frameworks Launching her company without agency or corporate training forced Megan to create her own systems. Although it initially felt like a disadvantage, it allowed her to innovate beyond standard industry templates. She sources vendors from unexpected places, leverages global relationships, and builds unconventional events. The Purpose–People–Process Framework Connection can be engineered when purpose, people, and processes align. Purpose defines the specific goal of the gathering. People determine who must be in the room—and who should not. The process covers every touchpoint, from invitation wording to seating charts to follow-up. When those circles intersect, connections form intentionally rather than by accident. The Gather Method Megan's GATHER method is an acronym for her six event strategy components: Guest List, Atmosphere, Timing, High Touch, End Game, and Relationships. The Guest List is the most critical decision. Atmosphere sets the emotional tone. Timing ensures real interaction, and High Touch keeps her experiences personal and intentional. The End Game clarifies measurable outcomes, and Relationships are Megan's ultimate objective, with the event serving as the vehicle instead of the destination. Why Smaller Is More Powerful Megan believes intimacy drives impact. Her ideal event has fewer than 20 people, as that allows depth of conversation and meaningful follow-ups. Instead of a massive gathering, she recommends smaller, recurring events that build layered relationships over time. Scarcity and selectivity tend to elevate perceived value and strengthen engagement. Scaling a High-Touch Business Scaling micro-events presents unique challenges. Megan addressed this by productizing her dinner format, standardizing structure while keeping personalization intact. She built operational systems and hired leadership support, even when stepping away from production felt difficult. Delegation allowed her to grow without compromising on quality. Why AI Increases the Demand for In-Person Events As AI accelerates digital interaction, in-person gatherings become more valuable. When it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish what is real online, physical presence can build trust. Technology may automate communication, but it cannot replicate a shared human experience. BIO: Megan Gross is the founder of The Bon Soir, a boutique events firm that brings together investors and startups through smart, high-touch events that build trust and accelerate deal flow. Her training comes from running high-pressure nightclubs in Las Vegas. She later worked at a unicorn startup acquired by Mastercard, helped launch Mastercard's global Priceless Experiences platform, led a global community dining initiative at Airbnb, and built The Bon Soir into a go-to event partner for venture firms. She is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, hosts The Supper Club in San Francisco, curates private dinners for funds, and produces one of the largest events in the VC platform community.

This playlist is 63% vinyl friendly. Very poor. The Vertere DG-1 Dynamic Groove. One commentator queried whether ‘the design wandered in the direction of form over function‘, but this, the company’s entry level version, was voted in What Hi-Fi‘s updated 2025 ‘20 very best turntables of (the magazine’s) lifetime‘… but it had detractors elsewhere. My first thought was ‘sandwich’ and lo and behold the review mentions the plinth’s ‘three layers of acrylic reinforced with a steel chassis to give a rigid yet well-damped structure‘ with that middle layer, from a distance, reminding me of some marbled cheese. Near £2k for one standard version spotted on eBay and £3550 for a DG-1S updated model, with a bullet pointed spec to match. When you get up to these prices (and way, way beyond) manufacturers are duty bound to work overtime to justify their prices. NB: Apologies. A bit of a glitch in recording my parts for this show but they just about do the job. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. Lyric of Playlist 149 On another day and in another frame of mind it could have gone to Baby Rose but much aided by a gorgeous key change backdrop, the gold star sticker goes to Banderas! It’s hard to tell though if their ‘There is no rehearsal. No second chance. No false start. No better circumstances… ‘ words of wisdom would change much with the type of peeps in their video. 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – Doubts Even Here (Instrumental) (Cargo Demo) (2019 Remaster) – Movement, Definitive Edition Boxset – Warner Music – 2023 Doubts Even Hear? I should coco, and if you want ‘tentative’ in your music then this has it in shed loads. My guess is this maybe wasn’t Hooky’s first stab at the track in the band’s rehearsal room but you can nearly hear him finding his way into and over the ARP Quadra’s strings. 05.15 COCTEAU TWINS – Road River and Rail (Live) – Stream only – 2026 Live in 1991 but only very recently uploaded to the net, a mixing desk recording from The Warfield, in San Francisco and a rare treat to hear Liz this clear in a gig setting. At your leisure, search out the rest of the gig. There’s no visual from the above show, so here’s a barely rescued – but previously unseen/unpublished – photo of mine. Liz and Simon soundchecking at Newcastle’s Tiffany’s, 19.4.84. Photo credit / copyright: Dec Hickey 08.37 JOHN CALE – Thoughtless Kind (M:FANS) – M:FANS, 2LP – Double Six – 2016 A pedestrian, sledgehammer beat and a more forceful take on the lyrics than found in the ex-Velvet Underground man’s original. To my ears, they’re better suited here. 13.59 EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER – Take A Pebble * – Emerson, Lake & Palmer, LP – Island – 1970 I bought this album maybe four or five years after release and without doubt after having heard maybe just one of the three tracks on it I had taken to. I wouldn’t have been listening to any radio that might have played this album, so I’m guessing I borrowed it from a mate – very likely Phil Harris or Tom Locke (RIP). Greg Lake’s vocals were the thing for me back then and on my National Panasonic SG-1070L I’d have skipped Keith Emerson’s often lengthy rock-orchestral leaning keyboard workouts from all three… and likewise it’s a massive edit on the show for Take A Pebble. 17.33 BABY ROSE – Stop The Bleeding – Through And Through, LP – Secretly Canadian – 2023 If I thought the vibrato in Baby Rose’s vocal on the last 41 Rooms’ show entry (‘Go’) reminded me of Anonhi/Antony and the Johnsons then this does so with knobs on… as it maybe sounds even more of a song and arrangement the latter could have penned. 21.17 A RACE OF ANGELS – Golden – Broadcast No. 1, CD only – Luv Classics – 2005 It’s not often a CD gets a visual look in on 41 Rooms but the majority of Broadcast No. 1’s tracks have been or are on course for inclusion… and there was no vinyl. A 21st century left field folk soul beaut. Saluting Yeofi Andoh once again. 23.56 KRAFTWERK – Boing Boom Tschak * – Electric Cafe, LP – Kling Klang / EMI – 1986 The German maestros with some playful mid ’80s electro. Who else could it be? 27.01 BESIDE (with BERNARD FOWLER) – Odeon (Dance Mix) – 12″ – Celluloid – 1984 In 1984 the only place I’d have heard this was on John Peel’s radio shows – and he was partial to some electro. With the other side playlisted on 41 Rooms years ago, that would make this Afrika Bambaataa-produced 12″ a bargain to me these days, at less than the price of a pint on Discogs. Back in 1984, ordering it on import from Bedford’s HMV (as I did) its £5.29 price tag would seemingly have between five and ten pints plus worth! 32.37 MIDNIGHT STAR – Midas Touch (Vocal Extended Remix) – 12″ – Solar – 1986 With Electro roots, some breezy mid ’80s glitzy dance which has aged far better than – ‘Look away now’ (or don’t look at all) – the clothes and hair in the video. 38.42 ROZALLA – Born To Luv Ya – 12″ – Pulse-8 – 1990 At some point, when I do get to wade through the Record Mirror‘s I have from the the late ’80s/early ’90s I’d put a quiet fiver on the late James Hamilton having used ‘bubbling’ in a review of this particular mix of the tune. Par for the course lyrics but given some decent beats Rozalla has a voice that more than matches. 43.00 THOMAS LEER – Forgive and Forget – 1982, CD only – Klanggalerie – 2015 When I first happened on the 1982 CD recordings I thought Leer had re-found his youthful energy in the ‘now’. It’s in the title, Dec… so, a ‘series of tracks for unreleased album circa 1982‘ states the man himself. That would put them around the time of his Letter From America and Contradictions EPs but way before the ‘pop’ album, The Scale Of Ten. Forgive and Forget is though definitely a dry run for that album’s belter, Control Yourself. 47.23 MINT ROYALE – I Don’t Care – See You In The Morning, CD only – Faith & Hope Records Limited – 2005 Aagghh, it’s another CD… but needs must, as no vinyl surfaced and by this point Neil Claxton was flying solo as Mint Royale. 51.48 OSCAR FARRELL (feat SAMPHA) – Dream Therapy (George FitzGerald remix) – Download only – ? – 2026 The So Far South EP original rightly has many admirers but I’m more with this moodier take. Screenshot 55.22 NOSTALGIX – Mess With Me – Download only – Confession – 2019 Out of Vancouver, British Columbia, she seems through the years to have occasionally just digitally floated singular tracks out there. 58.32 SUICIDE – Ghost Rider – Self-titled, LP – Red Star Records – 1977 There’d be a bunch of my early ’80s mates who’d have gone for the album but it’s only this track that grabbed me. 01.01.01 CABARET VOLTAIRE – Nag Nag Nag (Live 2025 Single Edit) – Download only (for now) – Mute – 2026 ‘Updating’ and then capturing – just ‘right’ – this classic track’s first live outing in forty five or so years could have gone wrong but all involved nailed it, and seeing as I caught four of the Cabs’ six gigs last year there’s a good chance I was in on this actual recording. In fact, given the advances in sound technology Nag is likely sounding better in the room than it would have done live back in 1979-82… something I never witnessed. 01.05.10 THE SOUND – Heartland (Mike Read session, 1980) – The BBC Recordings – 2CD only – Renascent – 2004 If Adrian Borland and crew were pushing for a radio session in their early throws (who wasn’t) I’d have thought John Peel would have got in there first. The band did subsequently do a Peel session but here Mike Read edged it and the band were firing. 01.08.19 JOY DIVISION – Warsaw – An Ideal For Living, 7″ EP – Enigma – 1978 I never owned this original 7″ but somewhere around 1980-81 and through the back pages of the inkie press I bought the subsequent 12″ from an ‘MJ’ in Crewe who reckoned in an enclosed note he’d leant Steve Morris £60 to pay for the sleeves. When I sold the single years later I thought I’d kept the note… but if I did, it then went AWOL. 01.10.40 TURNSTILE – Dreaming – Never Enough, LP – Roadrunner – 2025 They’ve eased up here on their early hardcore leanings which might go some way to why this tune gets a thumbs up from me and those who take occasionally take a punt on an album because of the sleeve could still be in for a shock. 01.13.00 TV21 – Ideal Way Of Life – A Thin Red Line, LP – Deram – 1981 Other tracks on the album have already graced 41 Rooms as indeed they did back in Winkles in 1981-82. 01.15.27 THE TEARDROP EXPLODES – Went Crazy – Kilimanjaro, LP – Mercury – 1980 Julian in 1980. Sounding ‘quirky pop’ in 2026? 01.18.03 NATURAL SCIENTIST – See Through You – 7″ – Dental Records – 1982 Even though I bought their Terminal Velocity debut 12″ at the time, this their follow up somehow by-passed me for four decades 01.22.07 IRMA THOMAS – My Heart’s In Memphis – My Heart’s In Memphis – The Songs Of Dan Penn, CD only – Rounder Records – 2000 Criminally, only seven thousand plus peeps have ever viewed the fan video online of Irma on an outside stage, live in New Orleans from 2003 and I nearly went with its muffled sound here, as the more she gets in to the song the more she really lives it. 01.25.53 STEVIE WONDER – (I) Don’t Know Why (I Love You) – 7″ – Tamla Motown – 1968-9 For the UK release Motown couldn’t quite make up there mind on the title – but this stark outpouring and arrangement is still a killer, even though it was maybe trumped for radio play by the lusher, romantic appeal of the b-side, My Cherie Amour. 01.28.25 MT JONES – I Don’t Understand – Joy, LP – ? – 2026 New(ish) blue-eyed retro soul with as much effort on the visual. A fab single but I’ve got a feeling an album of his accentuated vocal might be too much for me. We’ll see. 01.31.49 WILLIE HUTCH – Hurt So Bad – Season For Love, LP – RCA – 1970 Before his switch to maybe his more spiritual Brother’s Gonna Work It Out home of Motown. 01.34.39 BANDERAS – This Is Your Life (PanoΣigma Edit) – Stream only – ? – 2019 Just the one album, squarely aimed at the mainstream, and some cerebral tunes from these two shaven-headed girls. I’m not sure how much the decent lyrics and sumptuous key change helped but this was their biggest UK hit. Even in the sometimes throwaway nature of ‘pop’ charts, quality will out. 01.39.36 DIANA BROWN & BARRIE K SHARPE – Eating Me Alive * – 12″ – FFRR – 1992 ‘Weaving together many different dance music sounds of the late sixties/early seventies, including such as vintage Jackson 5 and Norman Whitfield era Temptations, Timmy Thomas beats and Chicago Transit Authority guitar chords (“I’m a man, yes I am, and I love you so”), this brilliant intensely driving jiggly chugger has been promoed as a twinpack with 0-104.7-0bpm Undisputed Mix Part 1 & Part II, 0-104.7bpm Original Groundbeat, 0-105.25-0bpm Funky Funky Sugar Heavy Groundbeat Mix, 0-105.4bpm One Trip Too Many Mix, more recently influenced grooving 115.8-0bpm Groundbeat House Ensemble/Instrumental, hi-hat hustled 118.7bpm Undercover Dub Mix 1 and 118.6bpm Undercover Dub Mix 2, Dianamite!‘ – James Hamilton, Record Mirror (Music Week), 20.6.92 Any time I re-edit etc I really should remember the source of the original… and there’s a heavy 41 Rooms re-edit going on here. Whatever. James Hamilton’s ‘vintage Jackson 5’ reference is spot on and the bridges and chorus are so strong they make the verses sound absolutely tepid. Weird. 01.45.08 RHYTHIM IS RHYTHIM – Strings Of Life (‘Original Piano Mix’) – 12″ – Transmat – 1987 ‘So enduringly popular and still steadily selling that it could follow A Guy Called Gerald up the chart, Derrick ‘Mayday’ May’s synthetic strings stabbed and sawed techno pioneeringly jerky instrumental leaper is now out here in its frantic acidic 130/129 1/5-130-0bpm Exclusive Remix, more scrubbingly hustling organ accented 128 1/5-127 4/5-128-128 1/5bpm Flam-boy-ant Mix, and piano emphasising jerkier 122 1/5-122-121 2/5-121 1/5bpm Piano Mix, flipped by the washing machine ‘sizzled’ 129-129 1/3bpm ‘Kaos’ plus the ‘Magic Juan’ Atkins created jiggly wriggling Model 500 ‘Off To Battle’ in its 125 2/3-126 1/5bpm 2emix and 126 1/5-126 2/3bpm Original Version‘. – James Hamilton, Jocks, 3.89 ‘Based on a piano sequence by May’s friend Michael James. He dropped in for a visit at May’s house and sat down to play a piano ballad he had been working on called, “Lightning Strikes Twice”. This piece went into May’s sequencer and was kept there until May decided to listen to it all the way through. He found some portions which interested him, and he started to work with it. The song was originally at 80 BPM before May increased the tempo, chopped it up into loops, and added percussion and string samples’. Wikipedia The history of this stark track is interesting. I called this ‘near punk like, house / techno’ on the show, what with its crude/rough arrangement feeling like it nearly takes four minutes to settle… just in time for it to sound like it’s breaking down on the outro! And it’s become a classic! Enough to warrant a bunch of remixes and the mighty ‘live with orchestra’ version that follows. 01.52.18 RHYTHIM IS RHYTHIM – Strings Of Life (Live, Weather Festival, Paris, France) – Stream only – 2015 Derrick May, with Francesco Tristano (ex-Aufgang) loving it big time on extra keyboards, with the weight of the full Philharmonic Orchestra Lamoureux, under the direction of Dzijan Emin… and all beautifully captured by ‘producer, Amos Rozenberg and Paramax Films in 4K with 9 Cinema cameras by Samuel Petit for Arte TV‘… it says somewhere. Strings Of Life, indeed. Catch the video in the usual places. Show 150 will upload April 5. Dec x The post Post Punk Plus Podcast Playlist 149 – Original upload 1.3.26 appeared first on 41Rooms.

Text and Be HeardSmoke, music, and a stadium full of stories—our Houston Rodeo broadcast turns championship barbecue into a roadmap for recovery. We break down why brisket, chicken, ribs, and dessert each mirror a vital piece of recovery living: the Steps as foundation, meetings as daily nourishment, traditions as structure, and fellowship as the sweet finish that keeps you coming back. If you've ever wondered how to make recovery feel real, tangible, and even joyful, this is your plate.We start with brisket and fat — no sauce, just truth. The Twelve Steps are the core cut: patience, heat, and practice until the obsession lets go. From emotional inventories to amends and service, you can't outthink wounds; you have to work them. Then we shift to chicken, a reminder that not all meetings feed you equally. We talk about finding rooms that lift you—Spanish Alcoholics, English Gamblers, topic nights, Big Book studies—so you leave feeling stronger, not stuck.Ribs bring the structure. Traditions and Unity Steps protect the room: singleness of purpose, principles over personalities, and humility guided by a higher power. That framework keeps groups honest and safe, letting the truth fall off the bone. Finally, dessert is fellowship—the sweetness of texts, hugs, and check-ins that make recovery feel like family. From pie and cobbler to late-night calls across languages, we celebrate the connections that turn recoveryy into a rich, shared life.Come for the rodeo, the music, and the world-class barbecue; stay for a vision of recovery that's flavorful, grounded, and free. If you're ready to build a foundation, find a meeting that feeds you, trust the traditions, and savor the fellowship, press play and join us.

We have never been more connected online. And at the same time, many of us have never felt more isolated. Surrounded by infinite amounts of information and networks of people, it somehow all feels off kilter, impersonal, and distant. We're truly ‘learning' less than ever before, and connecting less on a real human level. Ali Brown, founder of The Trust, has witnessed this evolution firsthand. After more than 20 years of serving women entrepreneurs — via everything from old-school teleseminars to online programs to live conferences — Ali shares her up-and-down journey, astute observations, and why curated, in-person rooms are becoming more essential than ever for women leaders.You'll hear:• The story of the ‘gangster' boss woman whose armor quietly fell in Ali's room (for the better)• How social media has created insane connection… but also a deceptive illusion• Ali's story of being the only one to ever cry in a 22-man mastermind (this one hit hard)• Data on how in-person events still outperform virtual ones for trust and decision-making• Why not all rooms are ‘safe' for your next level of growth• What ‘Your Era of New Authority' really means for the theme of Ali's 2026 ICONIC conference (it's not domination) The room you sit in shapes the leader you become.If you are stepping into a new chapter — personally or professionally — this conversation will challenge you to be far more selective about where you place your energy.Ali's ICONIC conference is returning this November to Phoenix, Arizona.If you feel the pull, join the waitlist here for details and early registration discounts:www.alibrown.com/iconicwaitlistWe may be more connected than ever… but the right room still changes everything.And then, learn more about The Trust and Ali…Curious about The Trust — our modern, premier network for 7+8-figure women entrepreneurs?

Branden Hudson hosts a solo “Champ Talk” episode focused on motivation and personal development, asking listeners to share, subscribe, and leave reviews while noting the show is free and unsponsored. He references Ed Mylett's four phases—motivation, inspirational, aspirational, and “awesome”—and explains that motivation is only the starting point; long-term change requires habits and discipline. He discusses how people further along in their journey often forget how hard “day one” is and criticizes simplistic advice like “just take action,” emphasizing that change is simple in concept but not easy. Drawing from his own experience—including incarceration for selling large amounts of marijuana, quitting weed to avoid relapse into old patterns, and distancing from certain circles to rewire habits—he describes how drastic events can create motivation but aren't required. He suggests finding purpose by eliminating distractions, practicing solitude and boredom, journaling to clarify motivations (including his desire for his kids and others to be proud of him), and getting into rooms with higher-level people or supportive groups to learn, gain perspective, and uncover blind spots. He highlights the value of in-person communities like gyms and jiu-jitsu for diverse connections and respectful disagreement. He also recommends daily reminders (sticky notes, screensavers, aspirational images) to stay on track during motivational “waves,” using a tax-season car sales analogy to stress doubling down during peaks. He closes by reiterating that consistency and identity-based habits drive progress, and again asks listeners to share, review, and consider what they're doing today to become a champion.00:00 Welcome and Support00:31 Motivation Starts Change02:14 Habits Beat Motivation04:06 Four Pillars Overview06:33 Forgetting the Beginner08:31 Why Taking Action Is Hard09:34 My Turning Point11:16 Cutting Dependencies and Circles14:13 Find Purpose in Silence16:10 Proving Them Wrong17:24 Fuel From Haters18:12 Solitude Over Stimulation19:11 Journal Your Why20:08 Pride As Purpose21:36 Get In Better Rooms27:21 Find Your Audience30:13 Jiu Jitsu And Respect32:44 Ride The Motivation Wave35:27 Discipline And Wrap Up

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOSt. Albans Sanatorium is one of those places where the walls seem to hold their breath. Long before it became known for its hauntings, it was a boys' school infamous for harsh hazing and unchecked cruelty—experiences that left their mark on the young men who lived there. The building later shifted into a psychiatric facility, collecting even more layers of trauma, fear, and loss.Today, investigators describe St. Albans as a place that doesn't just feel haunted… it feels occupied. The hallways carry a weight, as if watching to see who walks them. Rooms grow unnervingly quiet. Shadows linger longer than they should. And while no one is ever guaranteed an encounter, those who visit often walk away with the sense that something walked with them.In this episode of The Grave Talks, we explore the unsettling history and lingering presence of St. Albans Sanatorium—where past pain, residual energy, and intelligent hauntings may all converge in one place.

There are places in our hearts we stop opening.Not because we gave up.Not because we lost faith.But because hoping started to hurt.In this episode, we talk about the quiet adjustments leaders make when disappointment lingers.The dreams we stop mentioning.The prayers that get smaller and safer.The rooms inside us, we learn to walk past without even realizing it. These moments aren't dramatic.They're subtle.And often invisible to everyone else.But not to God. In this conversation, we explore what happens when God gently invites us back into the places that went quiet, not with pressure or correction, but with presence and grace. This episode is for the leader who is still showing up, still faithful, but carrying more than they were meant to carry alone.In this episode, we reflect on:Why we don't always quit, we just go quietThe silent adjustments leaders make to protect their heartsWhat it means that God restores what went silent, not just what's brokenWhy healing begins with safety, not strivingHow grace meets us in the rooms we've been avoidingIf you've ever wondered why leadership started to feel heavier than it should, or why certain hopes feel distant now, this episode is a gentle invitation to pause, listen, and let God meet you where you are. You are not behind.You are not failing.And you are not too late.

What if the breakthrough you've been praying for is sitting in a room you almost didn't enter?In this episode, Monica Allen shares how a simple birthday celebration turned into a powerful lesson on exposure, community, and growth. What began as a quick vacation became a reminder that proximity matters. When entrepreneurs step into new environments with diverse perspectives, their thinking expands. Through authentic conversations—not formal networking—Monica gained fresh insight for her business, her family, and her children's future. She challenges listeners to reconsider how they define productivity and to see exposure as an investment, not a distraction.Episode Quote: Exposure creates expansion. ~UnknownWhat you will learn in this episode:How to intentionally place yourself in rooms that expand your visionHow to build genuine connections without formal networkingHow to use exposure as a growth strategy for your businessHow to listen for opportunities hidden in everyday conversationsHow to think about community as part of your legacy planningHelpful Entrepreneurial Resources from Become Your Own BossSign Up for the Level Up Living NewsletterKICKSTART YOUR BUSINESS PROGRAM⁠Monica's FREE ebook⁠: 11 Essential Secrets for Small Business SuccessGet your⁠ Become Your Own Boss Planner⁠Ways to reach Monica:Instagram: @becomeyourownbosspodcastEmail: monica@monicaallen.com

When you move from treatment rooms to team meetings, everything changes, including how you show up as a BCBA.In this episode, I talk with Shalini Solomon about her transition from clinic-based ABA to working as a school-based BCBA. If you've worked in both settings like I have, you know they are completely different worlds. In a clinic, you're often running sessions. In a school, you're collaborating, coaching, and translating ABA into language that makes sense to teachers and administrators.Shalini shares what helped her navigate that shift, from simplifying behavior intervention plans so they actually work in busy classrooms to minimizing jargon and building buy-in with staff. We also talk about why understanding IDEA, IEPs, FAPE, and district systems is critical if you're stepping into a school role, especially if you're one of the first BCBAs in your district.We also discuss her journey toward earning a doctorate in behavioral health and the importance of leadership, mentorship, and representation in our field. It's an honest, practical conversation for anyone considering or currently navigating a school-based BCBA role.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Key differences between clinic-based and school-based BCBA rolesHow to create simple, usable behavior intervention plansWhy policy knowledge and role clarity matter in schoolsRepresentation and advocacy in the ABA fieldMentioned In This Episode:Elevate & Align BehaviorEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

We got information about the rooms we will all have on our upcoming cruise and there is drama over who got the better rooms. Lunchbox feels disrespected and has questions about all of the arrangements. We had a listener ask us a question about something she saw a woman doing at a grocery store and wanted to know if it was unethical. That leads Lunchbox to confessing to a crime. We talk about what celebrities we would be the most shocked by if they ended up in the Epstein Files.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Swapping rooms, troubleshooting weird corners-- Not to make your home the perfect showpiece for guests coming through, but for your family who lives and lands here every day! We'll discuss ways to stop looking at your home through an Instagram lens and not only tolerate the quirks of your home, but celebrate and appreciate them. And in our usual chatty fashion we'll also be discussing our Valentine's, thrifting woes, and someone is losing their childhood home. By the end, we hope you feel like you have permission to make the practical changes in your home that will impact your family long past winter. Let's make our homes peaceful.

In this episode of Meaningful People, we sit down with Rabbi Avi Landa, LCPC, Mashgiach at the Talmudical Academy of Baltimore Middle School, Director of Education for Amudim, and Director of the Landa Counseling Center, to tackle one of the most pressing issues facing children and teens today: bullying. Drawing on his work in schools, private practice, and prevention programs worldwide, Rabbi Landa breaks down what bullying actually is (and isn't), why simplistic zero-tolerance approaches often fail, and how power dynamics and repeated behavior can deeply impact a child's sense of self. The conversation moves from theory to real, practical guidance for parents, educators, and communities: how to respond when your child is being bullied, when your child is the bully, and how empathy-driven intervention and education can genuinely change outcomes. We also explore the broader role of social-emotional learning in building healthier schools and safer communities.

In this episode, Emunah and Yaakov share their extraordinary journey from the Christian South to a fully observant Jewish life in Israel. Married young and raised in different Christian backgrounds, they describe years of deep questioning, searching for truth, and slowly uncovering Judaism, often completely on their own, without a Jewish community, rabbi, or guide. What began as questions about faith, practice, and God turned into years of living Jewish life in isolation, learning Torah, keeping Shabbat, and observing the holidays long before they ever met a Jew face-to-face.    They walk through the emotional, spiritual, and practical challenges of conversion, relocating to a Jewish community, completing their giyur, and making aliyah in the aftermath of October 7. From driving 10 hours every Shabbat to Atlanta, to converting and remarrying in the same week, this conversation is about conviction, sacrifice, and choosing responsibility over comfort.
