Podcasts about Rudyard Kipling

In this episode of From Waterloo to the Alamo, we sit down with Steve Rigby, bestselling author, speaker, and founder of NewWings Consulting alongside his wife Susan, for a conversation that moves between leadership, self-management, and the difference between deciding and doing. From decades spent training three of the country's top ten homebuilders to writing the bestselling S.M.I.L.E. and its brand-new follow up, Managing to S.M.I.L.E., out this Friday, May 29, this episode unpacks how clarity, trust, and genuine care come together to shape not just teams, but the people on them.We dig into the ideas redefining how leaders lead, including the Six Keys drawn from Rudyard Kipling's six honest serving men, why handing goals down from the top quietly breaks them, what a tricycle reveals about the people worth hiring, and the hallway of magic mirrors that asks who will help and who will hold you accountable. Steve also takes the conversation somewhere unexpected, into addiction recovery, and what it has meant to watch his model work inside a sober living house.Rooted in the perspective and global standard of Engel & Völkers, this conversation reflects the intention, depth, and elevated thinking that define the next era of leadership, business, and personal growth across Austin and beyond. If you are leading a team, building a business, or simply trying to get one corner of your life back under your own control, this is the conversation you want in your ear!

A senior Indigenous banker in Canada cautions the Canadian government to keep Indigenous consultation at the forefront for major projects. As Dan Karpenchuk reports, he also says there is interest from Indigenous leaders in taking part in those major energy projects. Recently Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney repeated his plan to fast track major energy projects in Canada. Last week, he said Ottawa would build quickly and “in the right way” in consulting with Indigenous and provincial partners, but some of those leaders have been critical fearing that the process of consultation will be rushed and their concerns would be brushed aside. Carney's government wants to change parts of environmental law to make it easier to build a pipeline to the west coast, along with other energy projects. Bill Lomax is the president and CEO of the First Nations Bank of Canada. He says that early and meaningful talks with Indigenous communities is key. “We're seeing more business acquisitions happening, joint ventures happening with companies that are servicing, let's say, a pipeline. That kind of thing is just really taken off. We've seen our business grow. We're really a reflection of our clients. And their success leads to our success.” Lomax says the bank's commercial business was growing by 10% a year, but in the past year, it's been 26%. He says that shows how much Indigenous businesses are becoming involved, but he warns the opportunity for their approval is there if the consultation is done right. “You need to engage with the nation early on and let them know what you are thinking about, have them participate and have them be part of the plan.” Lomax says even though some Indigenous communities will be against some projects, but he believes there are many more that would be ready to move and move quickly. The First Nations Bank of Canada is an Indigenous-owned national bank. It's mission is to serve Indigenous people, nations, and businesses. The Alaska Native Language Center will publish a novel this summer retelling Rudyard Kipling's “The White Seal”, the only Jungle Book story set outside India, on St. Paul Island in the Bering Sea. Two artists from the Pribilof Islands retell the story through the perspective of a young Indigenous protagonist named Sergie. KUCB's Maggie Nelson has more. Garrett Pletnikoff is the coauthor of the new young adult chapter book “Sergie and the White Seal”. The story is an adaptation of one in Kipling's Jungle Book, “The White Seal”, published in 1894. And actually names Pletnikoff's great, great, great grandfather as a main antagonist. Kipling portrays Pletnikoff's ancestors through a disparaging colonial lens — as unclean murderers of the innocent marine mammals. Pletnikoff says this adaptation is a chance to tell a different story — to portray the Unangan community and the seals as partners instead of enemies, as Kipling wrote them. “The White Seal includes violent descriptions of seal harvesting, but Kipling never mentions that these harvests were not done by Unangan free will. The Unangan people of the Pribilof Islands were subjected to forced labor.” Hannah Zimmerman coauthored the book with Pletnikoff. She says they were inspired by Unangan lore and mythology and decided to name their main character after a spiritual leader from the Aleutian chain — Sergie Soboroff. “It’s a story of Sergie, who discovers that he’s a shaman, and he has this, you know, magical ability to talk to animals, and he discovers his purpose as a conduit between the animal world, in the human world.” Zimmerman says they used Sergie's role as a shaman to discuss topics like how colonization wiped out certain Indigenous practices. “When we read the book to fourth and fifth graders in the fall at the St Paul Island School. And I’ll never forget how, at the end of the book, one of the fifth grade students came up to me, and he was like, you know, I didn’t know Aleuts could be superheroes.” “Sergie and the White Seal” is now available through the University Press of Colorado's website.

In this Eye2Eye episode, I wanted to do something more personal and reflective. I'm sharing a poem that I've come back to time and time again throughout my life: “If—” by Rudyard Kipling.It's one of those pieces that seems to hit differently depending on where I'm at. I've turned to it during tough moments when I've needed a reset, but also during the highs as a reminder to stay grounded and keep my ego in check. For me, it's not just a poem... it's a blueprint for how to navigate life with a bit more clarity and intention.In this episode I want to take a few minutes to reflect on some of the lines that resonate most with me. Lines about staying calm when everything around you feels chaotic, trusting your instincts even when others doubt you, and learning to treat both success and failure as temporary states rather than defining moments.There are also lessons about being willing to take big swings, knowing that sometimes you might have to start over—and the importance of pushing forward even when you feel like you've got nothing left in the tank.At the end of the day, this episode is really just a reminder (to myself as much as to anyone listening) that growth doesn't come from comfort. It comes from staying steady, doing the work, and continuing to show up, no matter where you are in your journey.Key Takeaway1. Leadership starts with composure When things feel chaotic, your ability to stay calm and steady is what sets the tone for everyone around you.2. Success and failure are both temporary Treating triumph and disaster as “imposters” helps you stay grounded and focused on the long game.3. Progress requires courage and persistence Taking risks, starting over when needed, and pushing forward—especially when it's hard—is what ultimately drives growth.If this episode gave you something to think about, shoot me a DM, take a screenshot, share it on Instagram or LinkedIn, and send it to someone who might need this reminder today!Love the show?

Who Should Have Been Poet Laureate? Collected and edited by Evan Blackmore Narrated by Evan Blackmore In 1892, Alfred Tennyson, the official Poet Laureate of Great Britain, died. According to custom, a new Laureate now had to be chosen by the Prime Minister. But on this occasion, uniquely, there was a problem. Many different candidates for the position were suggested, but for several years, none were chosen. In this recording, we listen to selected poems by Tennyson himself and by ten writers nominated to succeed him: A. C. Swinburne, William Morris, John Ruskin, Austin Dobson, Rudyard Kipling, Alice Meynell, Edwin Arnold, Lewis Morris, Alfred Austin, and Robert Bridges. If you had been Prime Minister, whom would you have chosen?

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

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

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 6, 2026 is: cotton • KAH-tun • verb The verb cotton is used with on or on to to mean “to begin to understand something; to catch on.” Cotton used with to alone means “to begin to like someone or something.” // It took a while, but they are finally starting to cotton on. // She quickly cottoned on to why her friend was nudging her, and stopped talking just before their teacher entered the room. // We cottoned to our new neighbors right away. See the entry > Examples: “An insatiable reader, he enjoyed a wide range of literary acquaintances, some of whom—Rudyard Kipling, Owen Wister, and Joel Chandler Harris—became personal friends, and others, including Mark Twain (“a man wholly without cultivation”) ... he never quite cottoned to.” — David S. Brown, In the Arena: Theodore Roosevelt in War, Peace, and Revolution, 2025 Did you know? The noun cotton, from the Arabic word quṭun or quṭn, first appeared in English in the 14th century. The substance and the word that named it were soon both culturally prominent, so English did a very English thing to do—it created a verb from the noun. By the late 15th century, cotton could mean “to form a fuzzy or downy surface on (cloth).” This verb sense (as well as other cotton-related verb meanings) is a lexical dust bunny at this point, but our modern-day uses spun from it. By the mid 16th century cotton could mean “to go on prosperously, to develop well, to succeed.” The metaphor is not difficult to see, as cotton cloth with a nice nap has indeed developed well. By the early 17th century, the verb had shifted again, and cottoning was, as it still often is, about taking a liking to someone or something. It wasn't until the early 20th century that someone who cottoned to or on to something had come to understand it.

A family moving into an abandoned Wisconsin mansion discovered a human corpse hidden inside the walls — and that was the least terrifying thing that happened to them there.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Was Summerwind in Wisconsin really haunted? No one knows and if they do, they aren't saying. Today, only the foundations, the stone chimneys and perhaps the ghosts remain. (Summerwind: The Most Haunted House In Wisconsin) *** A young woman discovers that it's possible to live a lonely life, yet still not be alone. (Followed By a Child) *** Is it possible that during the years of World War 1, Agnes Whiteland, while peering off her balcony, saw a group of time travelers? (Agnes And The Time Travelers) *** Tituba proved to be a fantastic orator as she talked her way out of slavery using the fear and mass hysteria of witchcraft that paralyzed the people of Salem. (Tituba And the Salem Witch Trials) *** The discovery of a 10-year-old's body at an ancient Roman site in Italy suggests his family, friends, and neighbors thought he was a vampire – and took measures to make sure he wouldn't return from the grave. (The Unearthing of a Child Vampire) *** Authorities placed Gil Perez in jail as a deserter and for the possibility that he may have been in the service of Satan. In Gil's defense though, he said he simply teleported somewhere else. (Teleportation of a Spanish Soldier) *** 
Matthew Weeks was found guilty and hanged for the murder of Charlotte Dymond. Today it is said that the ghosts of both of them roam the countryside – but could it be that Matthew's ghost is lamenting because he was innocent of the crime? (The Murder of Charlotte Dymond on Bodmin Moor) *** A building situated right in the middle of London's swankiest and most historical areas, has long been said to be the lair of something not of this earth. (The Bizarre Nameless Thing of Berkley Square) *** “The Jungle Book” - we are all familiar with the story in some way – either from the classic animated Disney film version from 1967, the live action version in 2016, or the original novel by Rudyard Kipling published in 1894. In fact, yet another retelling of the story is coming in 2019 in a film entitled simply, “Mowgli”. But what many don't know is that the character of Mowgli was, in fact, inspired by a real boy who was raised by wild animals. (The Real Life Inspiration for Mowgli) *** Evil stepmothers, jealous of their stepdaughters' beauty are a classic tome in fantastical stories – but Martha Savcoll was no fairy tale. (Brooklyn Murderess) *** Of all the places in the world you would expect to be safe from the paranormal, it would be a church – but that would not be telling the truth when referring to Adams Grove Presbyterian Church in Alabama. (Haunted Adams Grove Presbyterian Church) *** Outside of Washington, D.C. lies Forest Haven Asylum, an abandoned institution with a thoroughly disturbing past.

Ottavio Fatica"Ormai non poteva succedere più nulla"Henry JamesEdizioni Adelphiwww.adelphi.itUn autentico forziere che schiude il segreto della vita narrativa di Henry James.«È l'arte che crea la vita, l'interesse, l'importanza di ogni cosa... Non conosco alcun sostituto alla forza e all'ardore del processo creativo» (da una lettera di Henry James a H.G. Wells, 1915).A cura di F.O. Matthiessen e Kenneth B. MurdockEdizione italiana a cura di Ottavio FaticaCon uno scritto di Roberto CalassoHenry James aveva un segreto: lo nascose nelle pieghe velenose della vita mondana, l'unica che gli fosse concesso di conoscere, e lo nascose ancor meglio nella sua prosa evasiva. Un segreto pronto a balzare alla gola dei protagonisti, e dell'autore, come la «bestia nella giungla» di un suo celebre racconto che divora ogni cosa, anche chi si arrischia a darle un nome. L'occasione per penetrarlo la offriranno questi taccuini: un autentico forziere dove James custodì quel materiale umano – aneddoti, pettegolezzi, visite, pranzi, cene, passeggiate – che andava cogliendo fra i prodotti della civiltà perfezionata, e gli si presentava ogni giorno sotto forma di «minuscolo germe per un minuscolo racconto». Poi, secondo la formula ricorrente nei Taccuini, lo scrittore sarebbe andato a «vedere un po' i particolari». In quel preciso istante cominciavano a vibrare le antenne narrative di James: ed è come se assistessimo al momento aurorale dell'invenzione narrativa. Subito dopo, eccolo delineare il profilo del racconto, con una tale perspicuità da non far rimpiangere che non sia mai stato narrato distesamente: era già stato scritto, nelle pagine dei Taccuini. Non occorreva di più.Henry James (New York, 15 aprile 1843 – Londra, 28 febbraio 1916) è uno dei maestri del romanzo moderno. Figlio di un celebre filosofo e fratello del psicologo William James, trascorse gran parte della vita in Europa, diventando cittadino britannico nel 1915.  La sua opera esplora con sottile realismo psicologico il contrasto tra innocenza americana e raffinatezza europea, tema che percorre capolavori come Ritratto di signora (1881), Le ali della colomba (1902) e Gli ambasciatori (1903).  Pioniere della narrazione interiore, influenzò profondamente Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust e tutto il Novecento letterario. Morì a Londra, lasciando un'eredità di stile e profondità ancora insuperata.Ottavio Fatica (Perugia, 1949) è uno dei più raffinati traduttori italiani contemporanei. Nato a Perugia e trasferitosi presto a Roma, dove ha vissuto per decenni, dal 2013 risiede a Narni, in Umbria. Ha esordito in Adelphi e ha collaborato con Theoria, Editori Riuniti, Bompiani ed Einaudi; da anni è consulente editoriale a tutto campo per Adelphi. Traduttore dall'inglese e dal francese, ha ritradotto gran parte dell'opera di Rudyard Kipling (per Adelphi ed Einaudi), Moby Dick di Melville, i diari di Byron, Céline, Lovecraft, Henry James, Philip Roth e molti altri classici. Tra i suoi lavori più recenti: la nuova traduzione de Il Signore degli Anelli di J.R.R. Tolkien (Bompiani, 2019-2020, poi in volume unico), Guerra (Adelphi, 2023) e Londra (Adelphi, 2025) di Louis-Ferdinand Céline, e Potrebbe anche non esserci più un mondo di H.P.

Hello Creators,In the first Guest Reader episode of 2026, we invited voice actor, director, and producer Rachel Naylor to share how to build a purposeful, patient, and community-driven life in voiceover—and then we will slow the room down together with a tender reading from The Jungle Book. It's a blend of clear-eyed creative advice and comfort, designed for performers and makers who need both courage and quiet.Rachel opens up about twenty-five years behind the mic across commercials, promos, games, animation, and documentary, and why mentoring newer voices isn't a side project but part of the craft. She talks demos, directing sessions, and the daily habits that make a career resilient rather than brittle. If you've ever wondered how to follow your dream without burning out, her perspective is a calm, practical map: honour process, protect your energy, and keep showing up for the work you love.This episode is for the sleepless creative who wants sustainable growth, kinder routines, and a bedtime ritual that actually works. Press play for a grounded take on voiceover life, stay for the soothing lullaby of a classic tale, and wake up with fresher focus for the work that matters.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. This brings us to a look at some of Arthur C. Clarke's other stories, A Time Odyssey (1951), Tales From the White Hart (1957), The Nine Billion Names of God (1954), The Star (1955), Dolphin Island (1964), and A Meeting With Medusa (1971. These stories will wrap up our look at Clarke's Science Fiction and we have seen a lot of good stuff here. And as a final note, we cover CLarke's Three Laws. Arthur C. Clarke: Other Works, A Time Odyssey A collaboration between two of science fiction's best authors: what could possibly go wrong? Well, something went wrong. This series is not bad, but I hesitate to describe it as good. This series was described by Clarke as neither a prequel nor a sequel, but an “orthoquel”, a name coined from “orthogonal”, which means something roughly like “at right angles”, though it is also used in statistics to denote events that are independent and do not influence each other. And in relativity theory Time is orthogonal to Space. And in multi-dimensional geometry we can talk about axes in each dimension as orthogonal to all of the others. It is something I can't picture, being pretty much limited to three dimensions, but it can be described mathematically. It is sort of like the 2001 series, but not really. It has globes instead of monoliths. And the spheres have a circumference and volume that is related to their radius not by the usual pi, but by exactly three. Just what this means I am not sure, other than they are not sphere's in any usual sense of the word. In this story these spheres seem to be gathering people from various eras and bringing them to some other planet which gets christened “Mir”, though not in any way to the Russian Space Station. It is a Russian word that can mean “peace”, “world”, or “village”. I have seen it used a lot to refer to a village in my studies of Russian history. Anyway, the inhabitants include two hominids, a mother and daughter, a group of British Redcoats, Mongols from the Genghis Khan era, a UN Peacekeeper helicopter, a Russian space capsule, an unknown Rudyard Kipling, the army of Alexander The Great… Well at least they have lots of characters to throw around. They end up taking sides and fighting each other. In the end several of the people are returned to Earth in their own time. But the joke is on them. The beings behind the spheres are call themselves The Firstborn because they were the first to achieve sentience. They figure that best way for them to remain safe is to wipe out any other race that achieves sentience, making them to polar opposite of the beings behind the monoliths in 2001, for whom the mind is sacred. Anyway, the Firstborn have arranged for a massive solar flare that will wipe out all life on Earth and completely sterilize the planet, but conveniently it will happen in 5 years, leaving time for plot development. Of course the people of Earth will try to protect themselves. Then in the third book of the series an ominous object enters the solar system. This is of course a callback to the Rama object. It is like they wanted to take everything from the Rama series and twist it. While I love a lot of Clarke's work and some of Baxter's as well, I think this is eminently skippable. The two of them also collaborated on the final White Hart story, which isn't bad Other Works Tales from the White Hart This collection of short stories has a unity of the setting, a pub called White Hart, where a character tells outrageous stories. Other characters are thinly disguised science fiction authors, including Clarke himself. Clarke mentions that he was inspired to do this by the Jorkens stories of Lord Dunsany, which are also outrageous tall tales, but lacking the science fictions aspects of Clarke's stories. Of course this type of story has a long history, in which we would do well to mention the stories of Baron Munchausen, and of course the stories of L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt as found in Tales from Gavagan's Bar. And Spider Robinson would take this basic idea and turn it into a series of books about Callahan's Place. Stories of this type are at least as much Fantasy as anything, but quite enjoyable, and I think I can recommend all of these as worth the time to while away a cold winter's evening while sitting by a warm fire with a beverage of choice. The Nine Billion Names of God This short story won a retrospective Hugo in 2004 as being the best short story of 1954. The idea is that a group of Tibetan monks believe that the purpose of the universe is to identify the nine billion names of God, and once that has been done the universe will no longer have a purpose and will cease to exist. They have been identifying candidates and writing them down, but the work is very slow, so they decide that maybe with a little automation they can speed it up. So they get a computer (and in 1954, you should be picturing a room-sized mainframe), and then hire some Western programmers to develop the program to do this. The programmers don't believe the monks are on to anything here, but a paycheck is a paycheck. They finish the program and start it running, but decide they don't want to be there when the monks discover their theory doesn't work, so they take off early without telling anyone, and head down the mountain. But on the way, they see the stars go out, one by one. The Star This classic short story won the Hugo for Best Short Story in 1956. The story opens with the return of an interstellar expedition that has been studying a system where the star went nova millennia ago. But the expedition's astrophysicist, a Jesuit Priest, seems to be in a crisis of faith. And if you think it implausible that a Jesuit Priest could also be an astrophysicist, I would suggest you look into the case of the Belgian priest Georges Lemaître, who first developed the theory of the Big Bang. Anyway, in the story, they learn that this system had a planet much like Earth, and it had intelligent beings much like Earth, who were peaceful, but in a tragic turn of events they knew that their star was going to explode, but they had no capability of interstellar travel. So they created a repository on the outermost planet of the system that would survive the explosion, and left records of their civilization. And when the Jesuit astrophysicist calculated the time of the explosion and the travel time for light, he is shaken: “[O]h God, there were so many stars you could have used. What was the need to give these people to the fire, that the symbol of their passing might shine above Bethlehem?” Dolphin Island This is a good Young Adult novel about the People of the Sea, who are dolphins. They save a young boy who had stowed away on a hovership that subsequently had crashed, and because no one knew about him he was left among the wreckage when the crew takes off in the life boats. And from here it is the typical Bildungsroman you find in most Young Adult novels. The dolphins bring him to an island, where he becomes involved with a research community led by a professor who is trying to communicate with dolphins. He learns various skills there, survives dangers, and in the end has to risk his life to save the people on the island. If you have a 13 year old in your house, this is worth looking for. A Meeting With Medusa This won the 1972 Nebula Award for Best Novella. It concerns one Howard Falcon, who early in the story has an accident involving a helium-filled airship, is badly injured, and requires time and prosthetics to heal. But then he promotes an expedition to Jupiter that uses similar technology, a Hot-Hydrogen balloon-supported aircraft. This is to explore the upper reaches of Jupiter's atmosphere, which is the only feasible way to explore given the intense gravity of this giant planet. Attempting to land on the solid surface would mean being crushed by the gravity and air pressure, so that is not possible. The expedition finds there is life in the upper clouds of Jupiter. Some of it is microscopic, like a kind of “air plankton” which is bio-luminescent. But there are large creatures as well, one of which is like jellyfish, but about a mile across. This is the Medusa of the title. Another is Manta-like creature, about 100 yards across, that preys on the Medusa. But when the Medusa starts to take an interest on Falcon's craft, he decides to get out quick for safety's sake. And we learn that because of the various prosthetics implanted after the airship accident Falcon is really a cyborg with much faster reactions than ordinary humans. As we have discussed previously, Clarke loved the sea, and in this novella he is using what he knows in that realm to imagine a plausible ecology in the atmosphere of Jupiter. Of course when he wrote this novella no one knew about the truly frightening level of radiation around Jupiter, but then a clever science fiction writer could come up with a way to work around that. Clarke's Three Laws Finally, no discussion of Arthur C. Clarke can omit his famous Three Laws. Asimov had his Three Laws of Robotics, and Clarke had his Three Laws of Technology. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. This concludes our look at Arthur C. Clarke, the second of the Big Three of the Golden Age of Science Fiction. And that means we are ready to tackle the Dean of Science Fiction, Robert A. Heinlein.

Welcome to an another great episode from the archives of The Literary Life podcast! This week we bring you an interview our hosts had with special guest Dr. Vigen Guroian, retired professor of Religious Studies and Orthodox Christianity at the University of Virginia and author of twelve book and numerous scholarly articles. Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks discuss with Dr. Guroian the new edition of his book, Tending the Heart of Virtue. They start out talking about how the first edition of this book came about, which leads into a discussion about the current approach to fairy tales and children's stories in both academia and the publishing industry.  Other topics of conversation include the problem with reducing stories down to a moral, story as mystery, the place of fairy tales in classical education, and the Biblical literacy of the authors of fairy tales. Dr. Guroian also shares his thoughts on people like John Ruskin and Rudyard Kipling. Finally, he shares some suggestions on finding good editions of fairy tale collections.  There is still time to register for this year's upcoming annual Literary Life Online Conference, happening January 23-30, 2026, "The Letter Killeth, but the Spirit Quickeneth: Reading Like a Human". Our speakers will be Dr. Jason Baxter, Jenn Rogers, Dr. Anne Phillips, and, of course, Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks.

Episode 16 of the NYE Lollapalooza is one of the most grounded, emotional, and necessary conversations of the entire day.Jay Doran is joined by Jenna Silverman, Bill Reiman, Jonathon Haddad, and Joe Silva for a raw discussion on the words that shaped 2025—and the ones guiding 2026.What begins as a simple reflection on annual themes quickly evolves into something deeper: fatherhood, responsibility, faith, emotional regulation, and perspective. The group wrestles with what it truly means to lead—not just businesses, but families, communities, and themselves.You'll hear:Why consistency without faith lacks purposeHow strength becomes a blessing when responsibility is embracedWhy balance is not 50/50—but situational awarenessHow perspective is forged through sacrifice, time, and choiceWhat it means to raise children in a world that often avoids discipline, honor, and accountabilityThe conversation moves through personal stories of parenting, marriage, mental health, addiction, recovery, leadership pressure, and cultural erosion—without posturing or performance. It's honest. It's emotional. And at times, it's heavy in the best way.A standout moment includes a reading of Rudyard Kipling's If, used as a lens to discuss masculinity, discipline, and the responsibility to protect—not dominate—the village.This episode isn't about resolutions.It's about choices.It's about keeping the main thing the main thing.And it's about understanding that life doesn't give perspective gently—it teaches it through experience.If you're stepping into 2026 as a leader, a parent, or someone trying to become steadier in a chaotic world—this conversation will stay with you.

What if every triumph and disaster you face is just a temporary imposter - neither defining you nor derailing you?In this episode, we explore Rudyard Kipling's timeless poem "If" and uncover how emotional intelligence, resilience, and warrior-like composure can help you navigate life's highest highs and lowest lows with grace.We dive into the mindset that lets you stay centered when others panic, rebuild humbly when things crumble, and risk freely without being attached to outcomes - so you can live with intentionality and purpose no matter what comes your way.

Rudyard Kipling's classic story collection The Jungle Book doesn't have a jazz orangutan named Louie, but it does have the bare necessities of imperialist fiction. The stories about Mowgli and other trailblazing animals all contain a whiff of "But what about the rigid hierarchy of nature?" And when every animal is personified...well...those simple bare necessities begin to reveal themselves.Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.Follow @overduepod on Instagram and BlueskyAdvertise on OverdueSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
