Rich & Ken with Ted Johnson | Friday 8/28/2026

BND's host Mike Slater, on the recommendation of Breitbart's AWR Hawkins, has been reading "Roots of American Order" by Russell Kirk lately and he wants to talk about how this classic from the 1970s tells us A LOT about the state of our nation in 2026! Following that opener, Slater gabs with Patrick O'Donnell, a historian and author, about an often overlooked 250th anniversary that our country recently celebrated that should be celebrated more than it is.

Rest and recreation are essential tools for resilience and good mental health as they help support the biological rhythms your body is already running. We'll dig into these rhythms more in this episode by breaking down three layers of the body's natural cycles: Ultradian rhythms (the short cycles within each day), circadian rhythms (24 hour cycle), and infradian rhythms (longer cycles like menstruation and seasonal changes). The practical thread through all three is the same: manage energy, not time. Notice your rhythm and do your best to honor what your body is telling you.   Note: This is an encore episode, originally aired during Joy Lab's Roots of Resilience Series (Element: Resilience). It's replaying here to close the month of Re-Creation because it goes straight to the biological foundation of why rest and recreation aren't optional extras — they are literally built into your body. As Aimee puts it in her intro: these rhythms are not something to fight. They're something to come home to.   About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

Joy Lab episodes referenced: Joy Lab Podcast #13 (The Roots of Resilience) This episode is a broad overview of what we'll be talking about over the next 9 episodes. It's a really helpful summary!  Roots of Resilience Series starts with episode #53: Roots of Resilience Chemistry of Calm (Dr. Emmons' book referenced in this series) The 20 Minute Break (book) Linnaeus' Flower Clock How does the brain deal with cumulative stress? A review with focus on developmental stress, HPA axis function and hippocampal structure in humans Cumulative Stress and Health   Questions this episode was made for:   Q: Why do I crash mid-afternoon and feel like I can't focus no matter how hard I try? A: That's your ultradian rhythm doing exactly what it's designed to do. This episode explains the 60-to-90-minute focus window, why pushing through leads to a steeper crash, and what a 15-to-20-minute break actually does to restore your brain's capacity.   Q: Could my sleep or stress problems be connected to my hormones being out of rhythm? A: It's certainly possible. This episode walks through how cortisol fluctuates naturally across 24 hours, what happens when that pattern gets disrupted by chronic stress (including the classic 3 AM wake-up), and how protecting your sleep is the single most powerful thing you can do to help let your system rebalance itself.    Key moments: [00:00] Aimee's intro to the encore: this episode closes the month of Re-Creation by grounding rest in biology — rhythms aren't optional, they're built in [01:00] Welcome — the Element of Resilience, Roots of Resilience Series, third root: aligning with nature [01:30] Henry: bio-rhythms might be the most important and most easily ignored root of resilience [02:00] Natural world runs on cycles — plants and animals fall in line naturally; humans have the choice to ignore or fight them  [03:00] Inside the body: hormones, energy, focus, and mood are all directly shaped by these rhythms [03:30] Depression can be a problem with internal timing — getting out of sync with bio-rhythms; Chronobiology and body-clock research: a booming field; SAD as a familiar example of seasonal rhythm [04:30] Three rhythms to cover: ultradian (under 24 hours), circadian (24 hours), infradian (more than 24 hours) [05:00] Ultradian rhythms: most overlooked, most ignored in the typical workday; What we do instead: push through, reach for sugar or caffeine, experiment with nootropics — when the body is asking for a break [07:00] Henry: managing energy rather than time — noticing when you're fading and honoring it early before the crash [08:00] Dr. Anders Ericsson's violinist study: comparing professional soloists with good-but-not-great performers [10:00] The lesson: excellence came from tending to rhythms, not from fighting through them — more practice was possible because of better recovery [10:30] Transition to circadian rhythms — sleep is the big one here [11:30] Henry: sleep might be the best mood stabilizer available — the research is unambiguous; People with depression + sleep problems who improve their sleep double their chances of recovery [12:00] People without depression who develop sleep problems double their risk of becoming depressed [12:30] Cortisol fluctuates naturally over 24 hours — lowest during deep sleep, starts rising around 3–4 AM, peaks in morning, dips post-lunch, rises again mid-afternoon, declines through evening [13:30] The post-lunch cortisol dip: a natural signal for rest, a walk, or a nap [14:00] The HPA axis (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal): when this gets out of sync, depression can follow [14:30] Aimee: the 3–4 AM cortisol surge — when under stress, that's exactly when people wake up and can't get back to sleep [15:30] Mood problems can arise or worsen from fighting these natural cycles — enormous friction and energy wasted [16:00] Ways to tap into circadian rhythm: notice the animals and nature around you — dogs, chickens, birds, flowers [17:30] Light exposure: get bright light in the first 1–2 hours after waking; dim lights significantly in the evening [18:00] In winter: dawn simulator or bright light device in the morning; 15-minute session around 5 PM to help set sleep timing [20:00] Adrenal fatigue: when stress goes on long enough, adrenal glands become overtaxed — a state of profound depletion, controversial but real [20:30] Possible connection to long COVID — a pattern Henry has seen clinically [21:30] Infradian rhythms: cycles longer than 24 hours — less obvious but powerful when you become aware of them [22:00] Two key infradian rhythms for mental health: menstruation and seasonal affective disorder [22:30] Menstruation: predictable changes in mood, energy, and sleep — part of a sophisticated, elegant cycle [24:30] Seasonal depression: root cause is the change in circadian rhythm — shorter days disrupt bio-rhythms [25:00] Henry's short course on SAD: convince your body it's not the middle of winter — bright light early and late, fresh light foods, keep moving [26:00] Closing wisdom from Lao-Tzu: "Nature does not hurry.

Episode 310 opens with Steve Dennis reporting back from an invitation-only Amazon analyst day in Seattle, two days focused on Prime and grocery. Steve unpacks the breadth of the Prime flywheel, Amazon's push into sub-one-day delivery, the drone facility he toured just before the company announced an expansion to roughly 500 markets, and why Amazon's rise to the number two grocer in North America should have rivals looking over their shoulders. Then, the numbers. US retail sales grew about 5% excluding fuel. Walmart delivered a lackluster 2.6% US comp, its weakest in six years, offset by a 46% jump in global advertising and nearly $3 billion in tariff refunds the company says it will reinvest in price. Target posted a nearly 4% comp with traffic up 3.6%; real progress, though Steve cautions the invitation can be better than the party. In off-price, TJX comped 4% while Ross Stores turned in a second straight double-digit quarter. And Simon Property Group made the case that great physical retail is alive and well. The interview, recorded live at the CommerceNext Growth Show in New York, features Scott Friend, Partner at Bain Capital Ventures, and Indy Guha, General Partner at VMG Partners. Scott co-founded price optimization pioneer ProfitLogic before joining BCV twenty years ago; Indy co-leads VMG's commerce infrastructure fund after scaling Signifyd. Together they tackle a hard question: when AI makes everything easier to build, how do you tell a real company from a pitch formula? Their answer centers on founder clarity and earned domain expertise, because a couple of quarters' head start has never mattered more. The conversation ranges across whether personalization and merchandising optimization are now table stakes, the surveillance pricing debate, AI-driven homogeneity versus the promise of the "N of one" customer journey, and Indy's memorable "Claude-proof" test for anyone building in commerce. Both push back on agentic commerce hype, arguing agents will own low-interest replenishment missions while people keep the treasure hunt. Scott points to the revenue ramp of AI-native companies as evidence this cycle is real, not overhyped. Both land in the same place: brand, community, and authenticity are the last durable moats, and retail teams must become architects rather than assembly-line workers. Back in studio, on the radar: Steve tracks the bond market, with 30-year Treasuries at a 19-year high and the 10-year at 4.75%, squeezing discretionary income and retailer expansion plans alike. Michael watches Canadian icon Roots, newly sold to New York's Marquee Brands with Joe Mimran advising on merchandising, and asks whether the brand can reclaim its former glory. Registration is open for a special webinar featuring Steve in conversation with Placer AI's Head of Analytical Research RJ Hottovy. From changing shopping patterns to emerging market opportunities, shifting consumer demand continues to reshape the industry. So don't miss this data-driven session unpacking the most important trends defining today's marketplace and the strategies leading brands are using to win retail's future.

Dcn. Harrison Garlick hosts a full house to discuss the short, strange, forgotten dialogue of Plato's Ion, subtitled "On the Iliad." 10 Question Written Guide on Plato's IonVisit our website for more information!Plato's Ion opens with a victorious rhapsode who claims to speak more beautifully about Homer than any other human being. Socrates grants the premise that a true rhapsode must not merely recite but interpret the poet's thought to his hearers—and then tests whether that excellence is a techne, a teachable art that should apply across all poets who treat the same subjects.Ion fails the test. He is “asleep” except when Homer is mentioned. Socrates therefore offers another account: poets and rhapsodes work not by craft but by divine mania. The Muse is a lodestone, and poet, reciter, and audience form a chain of possession. Ion recognizes himself at once. On stage he is outside himself, and he can move twenty thousand hearers to tears and terror (with a subtle nod in the dialogue about the desire to make money...).The dialogue then presses the distinction between speaking beautifully and speaking correctly. On charioteering, medicine, and the other arts present in Homer, the expert—not the rhapsode—speaks rightly. Unwilling to admit he has no art at all, Ion seizes the last remaining claim and declares himself the best general. The identification is absurd, and the conversation nearly collapses. Socrates leaves him a choice: to be called unjust, or divine. Ion takes the latter. Skill and inspiration remain unreconciled. What the short work has done is place poetry, possession, and the education of the city on the table—and prepare the larger judgment of the poets that the Republic will make.Chapters00:00 - Welcome to Ascend and overview of the episode's purpose01:05 - Introducing Ion and the returning and first-time guests02:29 - Erik Rostad explains Book of Titans and his lifelong reading project06:28 - First reactions to Ion and its perplexing character07:11 - Preliminary framing: subtitle, translation, and why the dialogue matters10:10 - Ion's claim to be the finest speaker on Homer11:44 - What techne means in this dialogue20:00 - Does Ion really claim knowledge, or only beautiful performance?23:50 - Ion's claim that no one else speaks more finely on Homer28:37 - The question of poetry as a better educator than philosophy31:03 - Ion admits he dozes off when other poets are discussed38:45 - The magnet metaphor and the chain of divine influence44:32 - Is divine inspiration irrational, or can it be a real source of truth?55:31 - A third sense of possession: skill, demonization, and being subsumed into beauty60:15 - Ion says he watches the crowd and adjusts for money and effect62:49 - Does Ion have a real art, or is he just managing audience response?70:29 - The charioteer, the physician, and whether Socrates is being fair72:26 - Does philosophy itself become a narrow specialty in the same way?76:03 - Why actors may be excellent performers but poor explainers of their craft78:10 - Socrates as a guide toward self-recognition of Ion's actual techne87:25 - Plato as storyteller and the philosopher's need for a better story90:20 - Storytelling, parables, and the pedagogical power of narrative92:37 - Plato's self-reflection on his own art and craft94:36 - The unresolved tension between inspiration and skill99:44 - Closing thanks KeywordsPlato's Ion, On the Iliad, Ion of Ephesus, rhapsode, Homer, Iliad, Odyssey, technē, techne, divine inspiration, mania, theia moira, magnet metaphor, lodestone, Muse, speaking beautifully, speaking correctly, kalos, orthos, Socratic dialogue, forgotten Platonic dialogues, aporetic dialogue, poetry versus philosophy, education of the city, Republic Book 10, poets as imitators, Allan Bloom, Thomas Pangle, Roots of Political Philosophy, Debra Nails, Dr. Frank Grabowski, Thomas Lackey, Jack Drury, Erik Rostad, Book of Titans, Ascend the Great Books Podcast, rhapsodic contest, Asclepieia, Epidaurus, generalship, polymathy, Plato as dramatist.

Arabic culture and literature hold a vastly rich classical history that continues to captivate scholars and readers worldwide. Renowned literary critic and Columbia University professor, Dr. Muhsin Al-Musawi, explores the depths of this heritage, from the global allure of the Arabian Nights to the historical dynamic of Baghdad's intellectual hubs. The discussion delves into how translation served as a window between cultures, the contested notion of an age of decay, and the brilliant prose of modern artists like Jabra Ibrahim Jabra. Reflecting on his own career of writing out of love and devotion rather than mere scholarship, Dr. Al-Musawi critiques how literary prizes can drive trendy imitation instead of a genuinely creative mind.   00:00 Introduction 01:57 The Roots of Passionate Scholarship 05:19 Baghdad's Layered Intellectual Landscapes 09:51 Cultural Solace & the Ambition of Translation 12:26 Confronting the Global Legacy of the Arabian Nights 14:55 Literary Taste & the Metamorphosis of Translation 19:40 The Romantic Search for Spaces Without Borders 26:27 The Vastness of Classical Traditions & the True Renaissance 28:53 Intellectual Intersections & the Republic of Letters 33:15 Challenging the Conventional Notion of an Age of Decay 39:45 Jabra Ibrahim Jabra & the Topography of an Artist 44:58 Curating a Diverse Core Arabic Fiction Curriculum 49:33 Trendy Prizes & the Necessity of the Creative Mind   Muhsin Jassim al-Musawi is Professor of Classical and Modern Arabic Literature, Comparative and Cultural Studies at Columbia University.

Rev. Dr. Melanie Harris is a professor of Black Feminist and Womanist Theologies at Wake Forest University, an ordained minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church and one of the founders of ecowomanism — a theology and environmental philosophy centering the voices, wisdom, and spiritual practices of Black women and women of color.In this conversation, Harris traces her own eco-memories back to Dearfield, Colorado, one of the historic Black-owned farming settlements founded by families who migrated west during the Great Migration — including her own grandparents. She reflects on growing up with a rare and precious connection to land and growing things, even as her family navigated the very real dangers racism posed to simply being outdoors in rural America.Harris speaks candidly about how, in many African American communities, painful histories tied to slavery and cotton have led families to intentionally distance children from the land — a protective severing that ecowomanism seeks to gently repair. Drawing on her mother's practice of singing and humming to plants, she describes music, spirituality and land stewardship as deeply entwined threads of Black religious life.She also talks about the hidden ecological history of Black women and why it matters to see  women like Harriet Tubman and Fannie Lou Hamer not just as liberators and Civil Rights leaders, but as environmentalists who understood the connection between racial justice and earth justice. The episode closes with a meditation on the high desert of New Mexico, where the conversation was recorded – a portrait of land, memory, grief and grace held together.This episode was produced in partnership with the Center for Humans and Nature and with support from the Kalliopeia Foundation. —00:00:00 Introduction00:03:00 Roots, Roses and Ecowomanism00:10:55 Harriet Tubman, Environmentalist00:17:30 The Lynching Tree and What Needs Repair00:27:10 The Divine Feminine and the Desert— Melanie Harris academic bio  Book: “Ecowomanism: African American Women and Earth-Honoring Faiths” Book: “Preaching Black Earth” Wonder Cabinet is hosted by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson.

Every growing landscape company hits a wall. The owner is doing sales, operations, and admin all at once and the business starts to cap out. In this episode of Roots of Success, McFarlin Stanford Founding Principal Jason New breaks down one of the most common owner blind spots: not having a hiring roadmap. Jason walks through exactly which roles to separate and when: from the first split between sales and operations at $3–5M, to the construction and maintenance-specific roles that unlock $10M and $15M. This episode is practical, specific, and built on McFarlin Stanford's experience working with hundreds of landscape companies. THE BIG IDEA: The Hats You're Still Wearing Are Probably the Reason You've Stopped Growing  KEY MOMENTS:  [00:45] The Core Problem: Owners Do Everything — Sales, Operations, Admin — and Eventually Hit a Wall  [02:30] The First Separation: Who Manages the Work You're Selling?  [03:00] The $3M–$5M Playbook: First Operational Hire, First Office Manager  [05:30] From $5M to $10M: Separating the Roles More Deliberately  [06:00] Construction at $10M: Design/Build Salesperson, Project Manager, and Field Superintendent  [07:30] Maintenance at $10M: Business Developer, Operations/Production Manager, and Account Manager  [10:00] Finance at $10M: Why Your Office Manager Can't Scale With You Forever  [11:30] From $10M to $15M: New Specialty Roles That Start to Emerge  [14:30] Maintenance Leadership at Scale: Why You Need a Division Manager Earlier Than You Think  [16:00] The Ask: Think in Three-Year Windows, Not Just the Next Hire  Questions we answer.  How do I know when it's time to hire my next person? What's the first role I should separate when I'm trying to get out of doing everything myself? What does a $3M–$5M landscape company org structure look like? How does the team structure need to change going from $5M to $10M? What's the difference between a project manager, field superintendent, and account manager? Why does a maintenance company need a division manager at a lower revenue threshold than construction? What does a business developer actually do — and is it a full-time role? When does it make sense to hire an estimator vs. having salespeople estimate their own work? What does a finance manager or controller do that an office manager can't? How do I build a three-year hiring roadmap instead of just reacting when things break? What are the most common hiring mistakes owners make as they scale from $5M to $15M?

One new exhibit wants to celebrate the history of power in San Francisco's LGBT+ communities. It's called “Conjuring Power: Roots and Futures of Queer and Trans Movements. A multimedia art exhibition currently running at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in the City. It features paintings, murals, and oral history recordings from queer elders.It's curated by Tina Valentin Aguirre, the director of the Castro LGBTQ Cultural District, and Caro de Robertis, an award-winning author and professor at San Francisco State. KALW's Jenee Darden spoke with them on “The Sight +Sounds Show.”  

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Garlick, Dr. Larson, Dr. Grabowski, and Mr. Thomas Lackey discuss the short, strange, and forgotten dialogue of HIppias Minor or "On the Lie."8 Questions on Hippias Minor Study GuideCheck Ascend out on X, YouTube, Facebook, and More!Plato's Hippias Minor is a short, strange dialogue with a traditional subtitle that cuts straight to the point: “On the Lie.” After the boastful sophist Hippias finishes a public speech ranking Achilles the best and Odysseus the most polytropos—the man of twists and turns—Socrates is drawn into a conversation that begins with Homer and ends in one of the deepest aporias of the early dialogues. What starts as a dispute over who is the better man, the straightforward Achilles or the wily Odysseus, quickly becomes a rigorous examination of voluntary versus involuntary wrongdoing, the nature of knowledge and power, and the unsettling claim that the man who does injustice on purpose is better than the one who does it by accident.Deacon and the guests work through the dialogue's sharp arguments and its surprising relevance. The conversation exposes the limits of treating virtue as mere knowledge plus power, raises the question of whether a just person might ever speak falsely for a good end, and serves as a genuine appetizer for the noble lie in the Republic. Come listen—and discover why even Socrates, at the end, cannot agree with himself.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Hippias Minor and its Context04:55 Setting the Scene: Hippias' Speech and Socrates' Role09:22 Hippias' Boasts and Socrates' Irony17:55 The Homeric Heroes: Achilles and Odysseus25:04 Knowledge, Power, and the Art of Lying36:15 The Distinction Between Capacity and Action44:53 The Nature of Truth and Falsehood in Socratic Dialogue46:43 Conclusion: What Socrates Reveals About Knowledge and Lies02:39 Socrates' questioning of Hippias and the nature of virtue04:55 The analogy of athletic competitions and the concept of justice07:57 Socrates' discussion on voluntary and involuntary actions12:05 The role of knowledge and capacity in moral actions15:34 Hippias' understanding of justice and its relation to power19:50 The concept of noble lies and pedagogical deception25:04 The absence of forms and gods in the dialogue30:14 The deeper meaning of Socratic ignorance and self-awareness34:54 The significance of the question: Is justice knowledge or power?39:51 Conclusion: What we learn about virtue, knowledge, and truthKeywordsPlato's Hippias Minor, Lesser Hippias, On the Lie, Hippias of Elis, Achilles and Odysseus, polytropos, voluntary and involuntary wrongdoing, voluntary liar, Socratic dialogue, aporetic dialogue, forgotten Platonic dialogues, noble lie, Republic, virtue is knowledge, knowledge and power, sophist, polymath, Eudicus, Embassy scene Iliad, teleology, Forms, Socratic irony, beneficial falsehood, Dr. Frank Grabowski, Dr. Brett Larson, Thomas Lackey, Ascend the Great Books Podcast, political philosophy, Allan Bloom, Roots of Political Philosophy.Next week we discuss Plato's Ion!

Is the fear of damaging a relationship stopping you from having a difficult conversation? I've been there, and I know how isolating that tension can feel. But here is the truth: wounds from a friend can be trusted, and real growth only happens when we're willing to go there. In this episode, Amy and I are pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to lead, mentor, and disciple in the messy reality of ministry. We're talking about the "relational collateral" required to speak truth into someone's life and how to correct in love without crushing their spirit. Whether you're navigating past trauma that's showing up in your leadership or learning how to handle a tough sermon critique, this conversation is for you. It's time we stop settling for surface-level peace and start pursuing the spiritual maturity that comes through honest, grace-filled accountability.

We are each shaped by the roots of our lives-our families, surroundings, our life experiences. Jan shares a look back at the roots that have shaped him and challenges us all to do the same, suggesting how, even now, we can learn from them and create new roots that can elevate our lives.

As we look at the values that root us in who we are as a church, biblical teaching means we will proclaim the truth of God's Word week in and week out. Everything we do is guided by the truth of who God is and what He has called us to do. If we are going to saturate the world with the Good News by making disciples, we have to know who Jesus is, what He has called us to do, and what He taught us to do. The beauty is that God has not left us in this world without a way to know Him and follow Him. We have the Bible. Like a compass, God's Word is our guide and direction for how to live this life and know Him. In a world inundated with information and claims that twist the truth, we can trust that the Bible is reliable and trustworthy. The Bible doesn't answer every question we have, but it answers every question we need to know about who God is.Check out our video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/d_pldXhVTkYSubscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8wmeCwBf_zkLearn more about us at chestnutmountain.orgFollow us on Facebook & Instagram @chestnutmtn_

Simon Yugler has spent time inside traditions ranging from Aboriginal Australia to the Shipibo lineage in Peru. Most of us will only ever read about experiences like that. I admire the ground he's stood on, and what it has done to his worldview. Simon is a depth psychotherapist, psychedelic facilitator, educator, and the author of Psychedelics and the Soul: A Mythic Guide to Psychedelic Healing, Depth Psychology, and Cultural Repair — and his central conviction is that psychedelics are not primarily a mental health intervention. They are initiatory and speak to the soul. At twenty, he traveled to an Aboriginal community in Arnhem Land, Australia, and was changed by what he encountered there. He went on to apprentice within the Shipibo ayahuasca tradition in the Peruvian Amazon, spending six weeks inside a lineage that didn't reconstruct its transmission from texts. He completed his master's at Pacifica Graduate Institute, where his thesis explored the loss of male initiation rites in Western culture and what the medicine might restore. Today he trains facilitators, runs men's groups, and continues his healing work with individual. In this conversation, Simon walks inside what he calls mythopoetics — the practice of helping people find the mythic story inside their experience and carry it home. We get into what myth actually means, what archetypes are doing inside psychedelic experience, and why Jungian depth psychology sees what the neuroscience frameworks are blind to. We also talk about what the medicine gets right. Simon offers a moving case study: a man who, during a psilocybin retreat, rediscovered his own goodness and a genuine encounter with soul. And we hold the critique. A six-month facilitator training is not a substitute for years of depth work. The medicalization box is too small — and, as Simon puts it, the alien always gets out. In this conversation: Mythopoetics and what myth actually is What living Indigenous traditions carry that Western therapy lost and can't get back from books The male initiation crisis and the loneliness epidemic What the medicine reveals that slow depth work cannot reach A case study in rediscovering one's own goodness Why the initiatory can't be regulated and why it never will be Timestamps 00:00 Welcome and Show Intro 00:47 Housekeeping and Links 02:57 Meet Simon 05:57 Mythopoetic Approach Explained 07:32 What Myth Really Means 10:20 Archetypes and Psyche 14:16 Simon's Origin Story 16:57 Australia and Indigenous Reality 23:23 Apprenticeship and Lineage 26:16 Western vs. Psychedelic Training 30:32 Why Psychedelics 36:44 Roots and Calling to Heal 38:41 Therapy Spark Moment 39:33 Choosing Pacifica 41:17 Lineage and Early Openings 43:14 Men's Work Thesis Roots 45:07 Why Men Need Gathering 48:40 Loneliness, Grief, and Soul 53:15 Psychedelic Healing Story 58:41 What Psychedelic Work Gets Right 1:04:32 Critique: The Medicalization Box 1:06:41 The Alien Always Gets Out 1:08:22 Closing: Book and Where to Find Simon Find Simon: simonyugler.com simonyugler.substack.com The Sacred Speaks: www.drjohnwprice.com youtube.com/channel/UCOAuksnpfht1udHWUVEO7Rg instagram.com/thesacredspeaks facebook.com/thesacredspeaks Theme music: Modern Nations — modernnationsmusic.com

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This conversation focuses on the importance of returning to the Jewish roots of the Christian faith and rejecting the anti-Semitism that has developed throughout much of church history. The Family emphasizes that the Jewish people were chosen by God to bring forth His Word, His covenants, and ultimately the Messiah. Because of this, Christians should honor the Jewish people rather than speak against them. The Family also examines how Christianity has incorporated traditions that are not rooted in Scripture while becoming disconnected from the biblical feasts, the Sabbath, and the Hebrew foundations of faith. Returning to these roots is not presented as adopting a religious system, but as seeking greater truth, maturity, and understanding of God's purpose. The discussion points to Paul's teaching in Romans concerning Israel and the Gentiles. Although many Jewish people have not yet recognized Jesus as the Messiah, God has not rejected or forgotten them. His promises to Abraham remain, and His plan includes bringing Jewish and Gentile believers together as one people under Christ, the great High Priest. Ultimately, the Family shares a common desire to see God's Kingdom established on the earth. This unity will not come through compromise, prejudice, or human traditions, but through a shared hunger for God, a love for His Word, and the recognition that His purposes for Israel and the nations will be fulfilled. Show Notes Honoring the Jewish People The Jewish people have endured increasing persecution and anti-Semitism throughout the world. The Family emphasizes the need for Christians to understand why Israel and the Jewish people should be loved and honored. Through them came the Scriptures, the covenants, the promises, and the Messiah. Recognizing the Roots of Christianity Many Christians have little understanding of the Hebrew foundations of their faith. The conversation encourages believers to study those roots and examine traditions that may have developed outside of biblical truth. Rejecting Anti-Semitism Anti-Semitic beliefs have existed within Christianity for centuries. The Family warns that believers must reject teachings that accuse, dishonor, or dismiss the Jewish people. Such attitudes ignore God's continuing covenant purpose. Learning from the Jewish People The Jewish longing for the coming of the Messiah can challenge Christians to examine their own desire for Christ's return. Their dedication to Scripture, worship, and the expectation of God's Kingdom can inspire believers to pursue the Lord more deeply. Israel and the Gentiles Romans 9–11 reveals that God has not rejected Israel. Gentile believers have been grafted into the promises of God, but they must not become arrogant toward the original branches. God's purpose is to bring restoration and fulfillment to both Israel and the nations. The Promise Given to Abraham God's covenant with Abraham was the beginning of a purpose that would ultimately bless all nations. His choice of Abraham and his descendants did not mean that God had forgotten the rest of humanity. His desire has always been to receive everyone who turns toward Him in faith. Coming Together Under Christ The Family believes that Jewish and Gentile believers will increasingly come together through a shared desire to see God's Kingdom established. This unity is centered in Christ, the Messiah and great High Priest. Returning to Biblical Truth The conversation challenges believers to examine religious traditions and compromises that may have replaced the truth of Scripture. Returning to the roots of faith means seeking what God originally intended rather than simply continuing inherited customs. Worship and the Biblical Feasts The Feast of Tabernacles is mentioned as a picture of God dwelling among His people. The biblical feasts can help believers understand God's presence, His redemptive plan, and His desire to be glorified among His people. Key Quotes “We need to lay a foundation of why we love the Jews.”“Would we have the Word of God today without the Jews?”“We need to realize our roots.”“Our older brothers, the Jews, help drive us to pursue after God and His Word.”“How driven are we for the Lord's return?”“I was there to learn of them. I admitted, ‘You're my elder brother.'”“God is sorting it out.”“He's bringing the Jews and the Christians together.”“All of this goes back to Abraham.”“God never forgot any of us.”“We come together because we have the same drive, the same desire, and the same heart to see God's Kingdom come forth on this earth.”“We need to get back to our roots and the reality and the truth.” Scriptural References God's Covenant With Abraham Genesis 12 (1–3) God promises to bless Abraham and make him a blessing through whom all the families of the earth will be blessed. Genesis 15 (7–18) God confirms His covenant with Abraham through the divided sacrifices and passes between the pieces as a sign of His commitment. Genesis 17 (7–8) God declares His covenant with Abraham and his descendants to be an everlasting covenant. Israel and the Gentiles Romans 9 (4–5) Paul describes the covenants, promises, worship, law, and Messiah that came through Israel. Romans 11 (1–2) Paul makes it clear that God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Romans 11 (11–12) Israel's stumbling opened a door of salvation to the Gentiles, but Paul also anticipates Israel's future fullness. Romans 11 (17–21) Gentile believers are described as wild olive branches grafted into Israel's cultivated olive tree and are warned not to become arrogant. Romans 11 (25–29) Paul speaks of a partial hardening of Israel and affirms that God's gifts and calling are irrevocable.

It's been 14 years since Martin Luther McCoy has released an album but this past month he released "Welcome back Love" . Martin has been making music for the past 40 years. He's toured with The Roots, he's recorded and performed with folks like George Clinton, E-40, Too-short, and so many others. His newest album is reflection of all the experience and talent that he has accumulated over those years. Martin was nice enough to stop by the show and talk with us about his career. Doc and Martin talk about growing up in the Bay area, trying out for Questlove to play with The Roots, going to Morehouse for college, his first time ever hearing Prince, recording the new album and so much more!

Michael #1: Claude Code /insights Michael's Insights: michael-kennedy-claude-code-insights-2026-08-09.html Be careful sharing these outputs, they include details references to your projects, errors, security findings, etc. ;) /insights reads your last 30 days of local session transcripts and hands back an interactive HTML report on how you actually work. One command, zero setup: type /insights in a session, or run claude -p "/insights" from the shell for a non-interactive version that just prints the path Reads what's already on disk: pulls session logs from ~/.claude/projects/, skipping agent sub-sessions and anything under 2 messages or 1 minute Project areas: clusters your sessions into themes like "CLI Tooling" or "Documentation" with session counts Friction analysis: categorizes where things went wrong by root cause - and quotes your own prompts back at you Interaction style: tells you whether you're a delegator or a micromanager, plus which workflows are worth doubling down on Actually actionable: suggests concrete CLAUDE.md additions and Claude Code features you're not using The catch: Haiku does the per-session classification, so the first run takes several minutes; results cache to ~/.claude/usage-data/facets/ and the report lands at ~/.claude/usage-data/report.html Calvin #2: Post-quantum crypto lands in Python pyca/cryptography 48 ships ML-KEM (key establishment) and ML-DSA (signatures) — NIST's post-quantum standards, now one pip install away. Big deal because it's the 11th most-downloaded package on PyPI (~1.2B downloads/month) and sits under Ansible, Certbot, Airflow, and paramiko. No PQ there, no PQ anywhere in Python. Trail of Bits did the work (Rust bindings, cross-backend API, tests, AWS-LC backend support), funded by the Sovereign Tech Agency. Timing tracks a June 22 White House order setting federal deadlines: PQ key establishment by end of 2030, PQ signatures by end of 2031. Not a drop-in swap — the wire sizes explode. ML-DSA-65 signatures are 3,309 bytes vs Ed25519's 64; ML-KEM-768 public keys are 1,184 bytes vs X25519's 32. Hardcoded field sizes and length prefixes will bite. API looks like the existing asymmetric primitives, except ML-KEM is encapsulate/decapsulate rather than a Diffie-Hellman exchange. SLH-DSA (the hash-based conservative backstop) is still in progress. The primitives are here, but protocols haven't caught up — so you won't be running post-quantum Certbot this week.

Calvin #3: MCP goes stateless — and FastMCP gets renamed From Philipp Acsany over at Real Python The 2026-07-28 spec landed July 28 and the Python SDK shipped 2.0.0 the same day. Biggest rewrite since MCP launched, and it's breaking on purpose. Context for scale: the Tier 1 SDKs are pulling close to half a billion downloads a month, with TypeScript and Python each past a billion total. The headline is the stateless core. The initialize/initialized handshake and the Mcp-Session-Id header are both retired — protocol version, client identity, and capabilities now ride in _meta on every request, with an optional server/discover RPC if a client wants capabilities up front. Any request can land on any instance behind plain round-robin, no shared storage. Server-initiated calls are the hard part of the migration. Sampling, elicitation, and roots/list no longer call back to the client; instead the server returns resultType: "input_required" and the client retries with inputResponses attached. Multi Round-Trip Requests, MRTR. Also: Mcp-Method and Mcp-Name are now required headers so gateways route on headers instead of cracking JSON bodies, and missing-resource errors move to standard 32602. Deprecation sweep with an actual policy behind it — Roots, Sampling, Logging, and the legacy HTTP+SSE transport all deprecated with a twelve-month minimum offramp. Tasks graduated out of the experimental core into a real extension, which is what the formalized extensions framework was for. MCP Apps is now an official extension too, so a tool call can return sandboxed interactive HTML. Auth picked up RFC 9207 issuer validation, issuer-bound credentials, and a shift from DCR toward CIMD. Python SDK 2.0 is where it gets personal: FastMCP is now MCPServer, no alias, no shim. McpError → MCPError. Wire types went snake_case (is_error, input_schema) and moved to a standalone mcp_types package, with mcp.types kept as a permanent alias. One Client object replaces the old transport + ClientSession + initialize() stack. httpx became httpx2. Sync handlers run on worker threads now, so asyncio.get_running_loop() raises inside them. The good news: one MCPServer serves both protocol eras, so 2025-era clients keep working with nothing to configure, and a Resolve(fn) parameter lets one tool body cover MRTR and the old path. 1.x is maintenance-and-security-fixes only — pin mcp>=1.28,

Tamara Buzyna Adams knows the sandwich generation experience. She spent years caregiving for her father through dementia while continuing to support her aging mother — all while raising two children and navigating a midlife career pivot. In this episode, Tamara shares how exploring family history with a loved one living with dementia can be a powerful tool for connection — sparking moments of clarity, preserving identity, and bringing peace to both the person with dementia and the caregivers. We also get into the deeply relatable emotions around role reversal with aging parents and what it really feels like when the child becomes the caregiver. Tamara shares her experience transitioning a parent to community living, how her family used regular Zoom calls to keep remote family members connected and involved, and the hard-won wisdom she's gained around saying no and setting boundaries as a caregiver. She shares how her passion for genealogy turned into a profession, and the unexpected self-discovery journey that unfolded through translating her grandma's handwritten journals and her additional research, which led her to write her book, Last Ship to Freedom. And for anyone curious about digging into their own family history, Tamara shares practical advice on how to get started — no experience needed.

Comedian Joe DeRosa joins Vinnie and the guys for Episode 26, and the group digs into Joe's early days of hip hop — including who his "cheat code" was, the one that got him hooked on the culture in the first place. From there the conversation moves into Joe's early comedy days, the influences that shaped him, and how he found his own voice on stage. As always it wanders well beyond that too, hitting career stories, some unexpectedly honest reflection, and a run through the Five Spot questions to close it out.Of course, Joe joins right in on the typical banter with no topic being too ridiculous.Check out Joe's new special, Never Promised You a Rose Garden, on Netflix.

James Allen wrote it over a hundred years ago, and it's still the truest thing I know: "Whatsoever you harbor in the innermost chambers of your heart will, sooner or later, by the inevitable law of reaction, shape itself in your outward life." Your thoughts, your beliefs, your unhealed pain, they don't stay hidden. They show up as your life. In this episode I get into what's actually driving your repeated patterns of failure and frustration. It's not the market, not your team, not bad luck. It's your fear of failure. It's the belief that you're worthless underneath it all. It's your fear of being rejected. These are the roots, and until you dig to them, nothing changes. Your only job right now is honesty. Follow your feelings and ask yourself what actually feels true in this moment. That's uncomfortable, and it's the only path to real growth. The new tools, the new plans, the new team, the new relationship, the new job, the new body, the new money, none of it fixes what's underneath. Only facing the roots does.

Water always wins. The question is whether we let it cool the planet while it does — or keep fighting it until there's nothing left to fight with.Erica Gies is the author of Water Always Wins: Thriving in an Age of Drought and Deluge, and is currently writing her second book, Roots to Sky: How Life and Water Can Help Cool Earth's Climate, due in 2028. She is an environmental journalist who has spent more than a decade travelling the world to document how communities are rebuilding their relationship with water — not by controlling it better, but by understanding what water wants and working with it.The common climate narrative — decarbonise, bring fossil fuel emissions to zero, done — is no longer sufficient on its own. Water vapour accounts for roughly half the greenhouse effect. We've degraded 75% of the earth's land surface, largely by draining it. And more sea level rise comes from pumping groundwater than from melting glaciers — something a 1970 MIT Press report already knew. We've only accelerated since.The good news: this is something we can change relatively quickly through land restoration. And water is absolutely key.In this episode:— Why water always wins and what it means to ask what water wants rather than fighting it— How growing up in California, built on extreme water engineering, shaped Erica's obsession— Why she shifted from surface water to the atmosphere for her new book Roots to Sky— The 1970 MIT report that flagged pumping groundwater raises sea levels — 55 years of acceleration since— Why 87% of wetlands drained, two thirds of rivers dammed, and cities doubled since 1992 have made our water problems worse, not better— Why the best water solutions are modular and decentralised — and why that's empowering— What beavers in California are teaching farmers who spent eighty years shooting them— Why investors optimising single variables are running out of natural buffers faster than they think— Why land back for indigenous peoples may be one of the highest-return interventions available— Her magic wand answer: caring for non-humans — and why she thinks we're closer to it than it seems.More about this episode.Thoughts?

In a preview of his forthcoming book “The Stones Cry Out,” Dinesh D’Souza talks about how he developed a fascination with biblical archaeology, leading to a three-year investigation into the subject, which is ripe with theological, political and cultural implications. Former Green Beret Paul Bock, who has spent many years studying UFOs and the Bible, reveals how new scientific information about aliens and paranormal phenomena is being used to construct a new and appealing, but deeply anti-biblical, theology. 3:15 – First Trip to Israel6:11 – Walking the Pilgrimage Road8:30 – Jesus's Empty Tomb12:11 – Archeology Meets Prophecy15:49 – Guest Intro: Paul Bock19:02 – How UAP Belief Formed22:32 – The Church's Blind Spot26:19 – Steven Greer's C-5 Protocol29:07 – Five Kinds of Encounters33:05 – Experiencers Reaching Millions36:09 – Chris Bledsoe's Shadow People39:31 – Testing the Spirits43:14 – Paul's Demonic Encounter47:18 – Compassion for Steven Greer50:03 – Spiritual Warfare Mindset If you’re tired of broken healthcare you need to choose the right pharmacy.

Julia Ioffe left the USSR as a child and came back as an adult journalist to find that the confident, credentialed women she remembered from her Soviet childhood had largely been supplanted by those chasing marriage and domesticity instead. That disorienting reversal is the engine of her book Motherland, a National Book Award finalist that reconstructs modern Russian history almost entirely through its women. Her account, drawn from her own family's history as well as the archives, keeps returning to one plain observation: Soviet policy pushed women into the workforce, the medical schools, and even into combat, while asking so little of men that low expectations became self-fulfilling—and Russia is still living with the results. Julia joined Tyler to discuss why so many of Russia's great constructivist painters were women, why the tsarist government established women's medical courses in 1872, changing attitudes towards abortion and birth control in the 20th century, why the Soviet regime turned prudish, how Khrushchev's plan to "replace the dead" institutionalized single motherhood, Russian superwomen, why Jewish men were a prized commodity amid rampant antisemitism, the cultural significance of flowers, why a few Russian names still dominate, why Russian women think Western feminists have their priorities backwards, how gender attitudes and autocracy feed into each other, three underrated Russian novels, what she wants to write about next, and more.
