Is 2025 feeling like a blur, leaving you wondering how life could possibly move any faster? Are you feeling the "shakes and quakes" of old systems crumbling and wondering where to find solid ground? What if the chaos isn't a sign of the end, but the "quickening" of your greatest awakening yet? Michael shares a powerful co-creation channeled directly from Archangel Michael regarding the energies of the year ahead. This is not a doom-and-gloom prediction show; it is a survival guide for the soul. Michael reveals the theme for 2026: The Quickening and The Reckoning. Discover why the speed of change is about to accelerate beyond imagination, why the "old guard" is getting louder as it dissolves, and why this is actually a "celebration in disguise." This is your manual on how to stop "fastening your heart" out of fear and instead anchor yourself in the eye of the storm to become the Master you were born to be. Key Topics: Why Archangel Michael calls this the year of "The Quickening and The Reckoning", and why 2025 will seem slow in comparison. Corruption, exploitation, and the "old guard" must become louder and more visible in order to finally be healed and released. Don't Fasten Your Heart: Why the instinct to "shields up" is the wrong move, and how to keep your heart wide open even when the ride gets bumpy. How the current heat and pressure are not here to break you, but to refine you into an unbreakable force of light. The single most important phrase to anchor your power this year: "I CHOSE this time." Why we are moving away from words and logic into Energy and Receivership. If you are ready to stop sleepwalking and start shining, this message will remind you that you are not a victim of the times, you are a Creator who came here to rock them.

2025 brought many moments of grief and trauma for Minnesotans. That included the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis on Aug. 27. Harper Moyski,10, and Fletcher Merkel, 8, were killed. Twenty-eight others were injured. And hundreds of families now grappling with a very different reality. Kristen Neville and her fiancé Michael Burt together have five children who attend Annunciation. All five survived the mass shooting. Kristen and Michael have both taken on leadership roles in helping the Annunciation community move forward and they sat down to talk about those efforts with MPR News host Nina Moini.

MPR News politics reporter Dana Ferguson explained how the tragedy is still impacting the legislature. And Minnesota saw an explosion of data center proposals this year. MPR News reporter Kirsti Marohn broke down where things stand.Plus, Minneapolis was the center of reality TV this year. We're talking about Love is Blind!

In 2022, countries agreed to negotiate an international treaty to end plastics pollution. They gave themselves a two-year deadline to finalize the treaty text — and needless to say, that deadline has not been met. The conventional wisdom is that these treaty negotiations are hopelessly gridlocked, with some countries pushing for a wide-ranging agreement while others insist on something far more narrow. But according to my guest today, Maria Ivanova, there is a potential path forward. Maria Ivanova is one of the world's leading experts on international environmental treaties. She is the Director of the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs at Northeastern University and Co-Director of the Plastics Center at Northeastern. We kick off discussing the fundamentally global nature of plastics pollution — and why this treaty process was launched when it was in 2022. We then turn to a longer conversation about the key geopolitical divisions that have stymied progress, before Maria Ivanova explains how countries might move beyond seemingly intractable positions and finally kickstart progress toward a binding international treaty on plastics pollution.  

Why does everything at school seem to turn into a competition... and why does it so often become a school counseling issue?In this episode of the School for School Counselors Podcast, we explore what's really happening when students compete over small moments and why school counselors are frequently asked to intervene even when there's no clear behavior problem. We look at the neurological and social drivers behind competitive behavior, how these moments get misread by adults, and how that misinterpretation quietly increases the workload and pressure placed on school counselors.This episode isn't about strategies, tools, or interventions.It's about understanding the pattern beneath the referrals.If you're a school counselor who feels pulled into situations that don't quite make sense- but still feel urgent- this conversation will help you see what's actually happening before the response gets triggered.*********************************Join the next-level conversation in my Substack.*********************************Want support with real-world strategies that actually work on your campus?

The first time he lifted an Apache off the ground, it felt like piloting a floating bus. The first time he said “no” to what he believed was an unlawful mandate, it felt like stepping into a different kind of combat. In this candid, high-velocity conversation, a National Guard Apache pilot walks us through SEER school realities, gunnery exhilaration, and the boredom of a deployment constrained by a peace deal that tied hands while allies bled. Then the fight comes home: policy-by-whisper, moving goalposts, and a refusal to file for exemptions because conscience, oath, and regulation mattered more than convenience.To watch the intensity of this entire episode, the full episode is here: https://youtu.be/Vbp61FnTQHAWhen leaders wouldn't put groundings in writing and mental health became a pretext, he documented everything and spoke out. The video went viral not because it was loud, but because it was clear. We unpack the blowback that never came from the public, the board that's coming anyway, and the question every service member must answer: who are you accountable to when orders and integrity collide?From there we shift into faith and institutions. He separates belief in Christ and original texts from corporate religion, calling out secrecy, money incentives, and ever-shifting rules as un-Christlike. No barbs for sport—just a standard: test paths by their fruits. If it grows honesty, sacrifice, and love, keep going. If it demands secrecy and obedience without light, step away. Finally, we wade into pornography as a spiritual and cultural weapon. This isn't moralizing; it's a field manual. Accountability with a trusted friend, device discipline, and a higher aim—purity as strength—can reset attention, intimacy, and confidence. He's living proof.If you care about courage, conscience, and the kind of brotherhood that makes men harder to buy and harder to break, press play.

Matthew Stafford is a venture capitalist, angel investor, and co-founder of Nine Others—a global entrepreneur network spanning 5,000 founders across 50 cities—who transformed from school dropout to successful investor by proving that authentic, give-first relationships create more wealth than transactional networking.3:00 - Matthew explains the Nine Others concept: monthly dinners for 10 people where founders share their biggest challenge by answering "What's keeping you up at night?" The community has run for 14 years and inspired his new book of the same title.7:20 - School dropout story: Matthew shares the uncomfortable reality of dropping out after weeks at college, feeling lost in his early 20s, before finding his path through IT work and eventually earning a computer science degree at Durham University at age 27.10:45 - The turning point: Seeing his now-wife graduate sparked his return to education. He proved he could excel academically while surrounded by 18-year-olds with straight A's, learning to balance work, study, and life.18:30 - Building Nine Others: Started with simple dinners to help founders solve problems together. Matthew deliberately enabled connections without trying to capture value, trusting that "being helpful without expectation" would compound over time.28:15 - Give-first philosophy: "If I tried to capture things short term it wouldn't last five minutes." Matthew contrasts his approach with transactional networkers who only make introductions when there's something in it for them.35:40 - Investment approach: Focuses on knowing founders deeply before investing, understanding their sustainability and motivation. At early stages, the people behind the business matter more than the product.54:09 - Long-term greedy: Matthew references Guy Spier's concept, explaining how 10 years of being helpful, honest, and trusted creates "super easy" opportunities that feel like shortcuts but are actually the result of patient relationship-building.56:27 - The real shortcut: "How do you make wealth creation really easy? Know the right people, have them come to you, watch them build big businesses. That's the shortcut—doing that stuff and then having it easy."Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

Today on Scrolling 2 Death, Nicki sits down with Congressman Chris Deluzio—a dad of four and a fierce advocate for safer, healthier schools—to unpack one of the most urgent issues facing American families: screens in the classroom.Rep. Deluzio recently released a major report on smartphone use in schools after months of research and conversations with teachers, administrators, and parents across Western Pennsylvania. He breaks down what he found, why phone-free schools are gaining bipartisan momentum nationwide, and why Pennsylvania has struggled to pass similar legislation.Nicki and the Congressman go deeper, expanding the conversation beyond smartphones to the overlooked risks of school-issued devices, lack of oversight, and the growing push to introduce AI chatbots into middle-school classrooms. From data privacy to compulsive design to tech companies lobbying to stop states from regulating AI, this episode exposes the full ecosystem of digital harm entering our children's schools—often without parents' knowledge.The conversation ends with a call for bipartisan cooperation and real accountability: parents, educators, and lawmakers working together to ensure that technology in schools actually supports learning instead of undermining it.If you care about what your kids are exposed to at school, this is an episode you can't miss.Elected in 2022 and re-elected in 2024, Congressman Chris Deluzio is serving his second term in Congress representing the people of Pennsylvania's 17th Congressional District—where he serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Pennsylvania's 17th district includes all of Beaver County and parts of Allegheny County. Congressman Deluzio is a native of Thornburg and lives with his family in Allegheny County.Congressman Deluzio is an Iraq War veteran, voting rights attorney, and union organizer. He graduated from Bishop Canevin High School and received a Bachelor of Science degree with merit from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis.

Nick Cohen and Dr Bharat Tandon, academic, novelist & Booker Prize judge, discuss Jane Austen's astonishing legacy before delving into a detailed analysis of her enduring popularity and literary significance. They explored themes of claustrophobia in Austen's works, particularly how her novels depict the constraints of patriarchal structures and economic relations for women, while also examining the misinterpretation of her writing by modern figures like Milo Yiannopoulos. The discussion concluded with an analysis of Austen's subtle political commentary in "Mansfield Park" and her innovative narrative style, emphasising the importance of returning to the original texts for a deeper understanding of her work.Bharat and Nick discuss the theme of claustrophobia in the works of early 19th-century women writers, particularly focusing on Jane Austen. They explore how Austen's novels, such as "Sense and Sensibility" and "Pride and Prejudice," depict the inescapable constraints of patriarchal structures and economic relations for women. Bharat highlighted the significance of the number 27 in Austen's fiction, representing the age at which women might lose economic security and be forced into undesirable marriages.Nick compares Austen's portrayal of a claustrophobic society to modern experiences of social media, where individuals are constantly under scrutiny. They also discussed Austen's innovative narrative style, which allows readers to connect with marginalised female characters while highlighting their societal constraints.Slavery in Austen's 'Mansfield ParkBharat and Nick discuss the portrayal of slavery in Jane Austen's "Mansfield Park," analyzing whether the novel is complicit with the social injustices of its time. Bharat argues that while the novel acknowledges the economic and ethical presence of slavery, it does not easily draw the conclusion that Austen is complicit with it. Instead, he suggests that the novel highlights the socio-economic guilt of the early 19th century without offering a solution, reflecting the characters' anxious avoidance of discussing slavery.Read all about it! Dr Bharat Tandon is a writer and lecturer at the University of East Anglia's School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing.A graduate in English literature from Trinity College, Cambridge, Bharat then taught at Cambridge from 1995 to 2006, and at Oxford from 2006-11, before joining the UEA in 2012.

I messed up on these episodes .I am putting out this episode without cuts. The AI, I used has been cutting things off. I apologize. Hopefully, someone else will learn from my mistake. Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and in this episode, Christine La Monte shares an extraordinary creative journey that began in Rome in 2012. That pivotal moment marked her introduction to a gifted young filmmaker, Maxime Derevenko, who would later emerge as an influential voice in the worlds of opera and film.Christine reflects on how their collaboration grew through shared curiosity, mentorship, and artistic trust—eventually leading to a powerful opera project rooted in themes of social justice, peace, and human connection. As the world entered the uncertainty of the pandemic, this work took on even greater meaning, becoming a testament to the resilience of artists and the enduring power of creativity.She discusses the profound experience of collaborating with Ai Weiwei and the Rome Opera House, and how that partnership offered a bold, global perspective on art's role in times of crisis. Despite having only eight performances, the opera stood as a beacon of hope and reflection during a moment when art felt more essential than ever.Christine emphasizes the importance of mentorship and nurturing emerging talent, sharing how storytelling through art can elevate consciousness and inspire meaningful dialogue. In this conversation, she invites us to explore a world where every voice matters and creativity becomes a force for change.Join us as we celebrate the power of collaboration, storytelling, and art's ability to guide us toward a brighter future.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:06 - Beginning of Film Career00:00:25 - Meeting Maxime Derevenko00:01:55 - Working with Ai Weiwei00:04:42 - Impact of COVID-1900:05:31 - Restarting in 202200:06:59 - Reflections on the Film00:07:47 - Film's Oscar Consideration00:08:22 - Role of Activism00:09:19 - Teaching at the School of Visual Arts00:11:01 - Reflections on Film Industry00:12:22 - Looking Back at Career00:13:31 - Passion for Teaching00:14:47 - Importance of Art and Culture00:16:20 - Closing Thoughts00:17:04 - Conclusion

Review of Chapter 2 of Beyond Behaviors by Mona Delahooke, PhD  "Social behavior and the capacity to manage challenge are dependent on the neural regulation of physiological state." S. Porges  Top Down or Bottom Up? "Before We Respond to Behavior, We Need to Understand Its Origin." With a deceptively simple observation, Dr. Delahooke reshapes the entire field of behavioral intervention: children's actions come from two very different places in the brain. Some behaviors are top-down, intentional, planned, thoughtful. But many, especially the ones adults find most perplexing, arise bottom-up from stress responses generated by the body's autonomic nervous system. We often think of this state in terms of fight or flight, however, it is not that simplistic. It is truly any significant response to the outside environment that leads to a neuroceptive reaction that is not governed by the neocortex, top down. If we don't distinguish the source, our interventions are guesswork at best and often counterproductive at worst. She illustrates this through a case, a child whose impulsive, disruptive behaviors were treated as failures of will or desire. School teachers and teams repeatedly urged him to “use his words,” as though language were a faucet he simply refused to turn on. What no one stopped to ask was the foundational question: Was his nervous system regulated enough to access language at all? Was he gated at the level of the amygdala blocking the ability to use his mind consciously and even have the opportunity to respond to a meaningful request? Is he capable of the ask, not in terms of willingness, but in terms of physiological access to the skill itself? ..... and more Enjoy, Dr. M

[School of Movies 2025] It has been ten years since Disney relaunched Star Wars in the cinema, delivering what felt like a special globally-unifying grand, historical event... that a bunch of Star wars fans complained felt too much like the 1977 original special globally-unifying grand, historical event. J.J. Abrams has proved over the years that he is far better at restarting big, exciting new worlds off with a bang (as he did with Mission Impossible and Star Trek before this) rather than somehow closing them out with anything approaching that same level of satisfaction (as with Lost and The Rise of Skywalker). But after all these years with all the Star Wars movies and TV and books and comics and video games that have played out since then, is The Force Awakens STILL my unlikely favourite of the whole series that has been with me since my life began in 1980? Yes. Put simply, this film transcends its own oversimplifications to become a joyful celebration of Star Wars, retreading many previous paths with a heartfelt energy the world badly needs again. And in this revisit show, Sharon and I talk about what has changed since we first recorded nearly four hours on it at the end of 2015 along with multiple guests at the opening of the gates to new adventure. That show can be found here, and since we also revisited the third film in the Sequel Trilogy back in 2024 after a serious re-edit allowed me to make peace, that leaves The Last Jedi for some point in the near future.

The closing days of the year hold a unique potency, a threshold where reflection, gratitude, and transformation naturally arise.    I have this simple and powerful journaling ritual designed to harvest the fullness of the past year, honoring both the moments of joy and the experiences that challenged growth.    Through intentional reflection, accomplishments are acknowledged, relationships and creations are remembered, and difficult experiences are reframed as sources of wisdom.    This process strengthens the capacity to see clearly, soften self-judgment, and meet the coming year from a place of devotion rather than discipline.    From this grounded foundation, the energy of reflection becomes fertile soil for setting heartfelt devotions for the year ahead.   Gratitude for you!    Xoxo, Sarah   Helpful Links:   Join us in THE JOURNEY Our mentorship portal https://sarahnoble.com/journey/   Subscribe to our Substack for exclusive teachings and content.  https://snoble.substack.com/   The Devotion Codes is a FREE transmission that guides you out of the cycle of self-discipline and self-control, and into the loving embrace of self-devotion.

This was not always a conscious endeavor for me, yet she pulled at my heart and led me on adventures far and wide and wild. She has taught me to live by spirals and wheels and cycles. To live each day as a ritual, knowing that I am the source of my life. Everything comes FROM me and that my obstacles are actually the path to living an even greater and wilder existence. She has shown me that true LEADERS rally for and with life, not against it.

Does this holiday season feel heavier than it should? Are emotions feeling closer to the surface, leaving you exhausted, anxious, or unsteady without knowing why? What if this isn't just "holiday stress," but a massive energetic transition that is literally dissolving your past? Michael welcomes back Jim Self, spiritual teacher and co-founder of Mastering Alchemy, to explain exactly what is happening beneath the surface of this overwhelming time. Jim reveals the shocking truth: We are in the middle of a massive transition from a third-dimensional state of reaction and duality into a new state of Wellbeing.  This isn't just about coping; this is about understanding that you cannot take your "baggage" with you where we are going. Discover why linear time is dissolving, how the "monster under the bed" is actually just an old towel, and the specific tools you need to dissolve the shadows before they bite. Key Topics: Moving out of the 3rd dimension (reaction, duality, linear time) and why it feels so "choppy" right now. The Baggage Rule: Why you cannot take your old wounds and beliefs ("baggage") with you into the new frequency. A simple, powerful visualization to instantly explode negative thoughts and remove unfinished emotions from your space. Linear Time vs. Present Time: Why living in the past creates suffering, and how "Present Time" is the only place where wellbeing exists. How we are finally weaving the emotional flow of Mu with the structure of Atlantis to create a new, unbreakable "Golden Thread" of love and intelligence. The 2026 & 2027 Acceleration: Jim's prediction on why the next two years will dissolve the memory of "not being okay" and lead to a spectacular expansion of consciousness. Why asking "What's wrong with me?" attracts more pain, and how to shift your attention to dissolve it instantly. If you are ready to stop arguing for your limitations and start remembering who you truly are, this message will help you find the excitement in the unknown. Join the Inspire Nation Soul Family!

Virtue is not a theory. It is something you practice. In the moments where you could overreact. In the moments where quitting would be easier. In the moments where doing the right thing costs you something.In this episode, Ryan explores the four Stoic virtues through conversations with people who actually live them. You'll hear from a fighter pilot who shows courage under pressure, a marathon runner disciplined in daily practice, a historian who reframes justice as action, and Ryan himself on treating wisdom as a lifelong pursuit.

In this episode I'm going to do something a little different. As we wind down for the year, we're going to be running some of our favorites from 2025 until the new year begins.Let's take a look back at some of the overall themes discussed and point out a few highlights for me. I won't be able to highlight everything of course but I found 5 themes really interesting. And, I won't lie - I had a little help from AI in doing this. But that's also kind of the point. We have all been using AI to do things to make our work easier, and I thought that poring through 150+ episodes recorded over 12 months is a perfect thing to have AI help me with.
