Real entrepreneurs don't wait for permission, causes, or perfect conditions. The game is about habitually creating their own rules and opportunities. Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff share how doubling down on what fascinates you, persevering when others chase the next trend, and always being the buyer are the secrets to transforming your entire entrepreneurial lifetime.​Show Notes: Chasing causes keeps you reactive, while building personal agency gives you freedom to create your own game in the marketplace.​Everyone doubles down on something over their lifetime, and successful entrepreneurs consciously double down on a lifelong fascination, not a passing issue. Your fascination is the thing you want to get to the bottom or center of, and it quietly organizes your entire entrepreneurial life.​Strategic Coach® thinking tools exist to help entrepreneurs turn their own life experience into a clear mission and a set of repeatable structures. The real breakthrough isn't being right all the time; it's being willing to think about things nobody else is thinking about, even if you're occasionally wrong. The future is a series of guesses and bets, and top entrepreneurs build confidence in their ability to bet on themselves over and over again. Opportunity doesn't show up fully formed; entrepreneurs create value first, then opportunities appear around that value. Perseverance is a core entrepreneurial character trait because meaningful projects always take longer, cost more, and demand more capability than expected.​In any negotiation, the real buyer is the one who can walk away, and entrepreneurs build businesses so they can always be that person. You're only an entrepreneur if you can't be fired, because you created the structure that pays you instead of plugging into someone else's. Resources: Always Be The Buyer by Dan Sullivan Man's Search For Meaning by Victor E.

In this episode of Search for Meaning, Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback sits down with Professor Michal Bar-Asher Siegal, one of today's leading scholars of rabbinic Judaism and early Christianity. Their conversation ranges from the ancient world to our own moment, exploring how religious traditions take shape through encounter, disagreement, and relationship.Rabbi Yoshi first encountered Michal's work in Israel during the World Zionist Congress, where her lecture left a lasting impression. In this episode, she shares her personal and intellectual journey—from growing up in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish world, at a time when it was still rare for women to pursue advanced Talmudic study, to becoming a major voice in the academic study of Jewish–Christian interactions in Late Antiquity.Michal discusses her groundbreaking research comparing rabbinic texts and early Christian and monastic literature, including insights from her award-winning books Early Christian Monastic Literature and the Babylonian Talmud and Jewish–Christian Dialogues on Scripture in Late Antiquity. She explains how ancient texts reveal moments of dialogue and shared interpretation where we often assume only separation—and why those discoveries still matter today.The conversation also turns to the present: living and teaching in Israel during painful and uncertain years, what ancient texts can teach us about resilience and endurance, and how scholarship can help us hold complexity without losing hope.This episode is an invitation to think more deeply about boundaries and belonging, inter-religious dialogue, and the enduring power of learning to illuminate both the past and the present.https://in.bgu.ac.il/en/humsos/goldstein-goren/pages/staff/Michal-Bar-Asher-Siegal.aspx

In this episode of Search for Meaning, Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback is joined by his teacher, mentor, and friend, Rabbi Steve Leder, for a wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation recorded in January 2021, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.Their discussion centers on Rabbi Leder's book, The Beauty of What Remains, written after the death of his father following a long journey with Alzheimer's. Drawing on more than three decades of rabbinic experience and his own profound loss, Rabbi Leder reflects on the non-linear nature of grief, the limitations of the “stages” model of mourning, and what he has learned from accompanying thousands of people at the end of life.Together, they explore how memory can be both painful and sustaining, what it truly means to show up for the dying and the bereaved, and how loss can awaken a deeper appreciation for time, touch, love, and connection. With wisdom, honesty, and moments of humor, this conversation offers guidance and comfort to anyone navigating grief—or seeking a more meaningful way to live in its shadow.Search for Meaning invites listeners into conversations that challenge, console, and inspire. This episode is a reminder that even in loss, there is beauty in what remains.https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/623578/the-beauty-of-what-remains-by-steve-leder/

Viktor Frankl is the psychotherapist who developed Logotherapy after surviving Auschwitz under the Nazi'sI first read this book years ago and so many things resonated, it really helped me at that time and I was inspired to study at his school, from which I now have an accreditation. Frankl is the first person I know of to articulate the connection between meaning and suffering with such a robust philosophy.

This session is for anyone feeling weary from overthinking or disconnected from their deeper purpose. It's ideal when life feels uncertain and you need to release control, soften inward, and rest in quiet clarity. Perfect for bedtime, meditation, or a gentle pause between chapters of life.Inspired by Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, this sleep hypnosis blends philosophy and peace, guiding you toward an inner freedom that can never be taken away. Through gentle breathing and hypnotic storytelling, meaning is rediscovered not through effort, but through surrender.It feels like entering a vast, starlit stillness where time slows and thoughts dissolve. Each breath opens more inner space, and a warm, steady presence begins to settle in the chest.As your body falls asleep, awareness gently awakens. Peace is no longer something to find, but something to remember. You drift into rest knowing that within you, there is always light.

Episode 225: As digital noise continues to shape modern life, the latest episode of “The Ethical Life” turns inward, offering listeners a wide-angle look at how ancient ideas can help people navigate an era marked by distraction, isolation and growing cultural tension. Hosts Scott Rada and Richard Kyte revisit the seven-part series they released this fall based on Kyte’s public lecture program, “The Search for Meaning.” The series explored a set of foundational concepts — truth, goodness, love, beauty, the soul, justice and nature — each presented through the lens of a major historical thinker. This week’s conversation steps back to examine the project as a whole. Kyte explains that he launched the lecture series after noticing both a renewed hunger for purpose and a cultural landscape that makes deeper reflection difficult. With entertainment, social media, and algorithmic feeds competing for every spare moment, he says, people feel increasingly unmoored from the community, rituals, and shared practices that once helped anchor their daily lives. Rada and Kyte trace how that tension surfaced throughout the series. Topics such as goodness and the soul proved more challenging to condense, Kyte says, because they resist simple explanation. Others — including justice and nature — were difficult for the opposite reason: he had too much to say. Yet as the series progressed, he found that the ideas were more interconnected than he expected, each building on the last as the philosophical timeline moved from Socrates to Aldo Leopold. The episode also looks ahead. Kyte says he has begun the early stages of transforming the series into a book, drawing on months of research and the community discussions that followed each lecture. The core ideas will remain, he says, but he hopes to frame them more explicitly around the pressures of modern life and the need for intentional habits of attention.

Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback sits down with actor Moshe Lobel, star of the groundbreaking new film SHTTL—a Yiddish-language, single-shot masterpiece set in a Ukrainian shtetl on the eve of its destruction in 1941. Filmed in 2021 but only recently released, SHTTL feels uncannily prophetic, speaking directly to the anxieties, divisions, and questions facing the Jewish world today.Moshe brings a deeply personal lens to the film. Raised in an ultra-Orthodox home in Brooklyn, with Yiddish as his first language, he eventually left the community of his childhood to pursue a different path—an experience that echoes through his portrayal of Mendele, a young man who also steps outside his community and becomes a filmmaker in the Soviet Army's propaganda division. In the conversation, Moshe reflects on how his own journey of identity, faith, and separation helped him understand Mendele's longing, his conflicts, and his complicated return home.Rabbi Yoshi and Moshe explore the Talmudic nature of Jewish identity—our arguments, our diversity, our longing for unity—and how SHTTL reveals both the beauty and the fragility of a people wrestling with faith, modernity, and danger. They also discuss the film's most powerful scenes: moments of denial in the face of rising antisemitism, fierce debates about unity and belief, and the urgent relevance of a story rooted in 1941 yet alive with meaning in our own moment.A moving, timely, and deeply reflective conversation that reminds us how fragile—and how enduring—the Jewish story truly is.Learn more about the film at: https://www.menemshafilms.com/shttl

Welcome to our ✨Holiday Special✨! In an episode that is ostensibly about Elf On The Shelf (or Mensch On The Bench — for Sarah), we explore our collective annual search for meaning and self with the great Meaghan O'Connell, author of And Now We Have Everything and noted Elf On The Shelf apologist. Pressing items interrogated lightly include: Should Elf On The Shelf be a Dad thing? Does holiday magic necessarily include lying to our kids? What do we say when our kids ask if we're Santa? What is the true magic? How do we even know what we enjoy and what we don't in a season this busy, and should we take Miranda's recommendation to do a witchy ritual to remind ourselves?

Phil Svitek and Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) dive into Albert Camus' Exile and the Kingdom, a collection of six vivid, unsettling, and deeply human short stories exploring what it means to be isolated yet yearning for connection. Written in 1957 against the backdrop of the Algerian War, these stories capture individuals at decisive moments—moments of moral conflict, longing, rebellion, and revelation.We explore Camus' legacy as a French-Algerian writer, Resistance journalist, and Nobel laureate whose ideas on the Absurd, Revolt, and moral responsibility shaped the intellectual landscape of the 20th century. Phil and Marisa walk through each story—from Janine's desert epiphany to the silent cask-workers, the tortured missionary, the conflicted schoolteacher, and the weary artist—unpacking the symbols, emotional arcs, and philosophical questions that define Camus' work.We discuss the recurring themes of exile, identity, freedom, guilt, spiritual hunger, and the longing for a “kingdom” where meaning and belonging finally converge. Plus, we compare our favorite stories, reflect on what resonated most personally, and consider why Camus' writing still feels urgent in today's fractured world.Up next in our Bookmarked series:-Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore – Emily Krempholtz (Dec 2025)-The Phantom Tollbooth - Norton Juster (Jan 2026) -Marisa pick (Feb 2026)-The Lost Bookshop – Evie Woods (Mar 2026)-Marisa pick (Apr 2026)-How to Solve Your Own Murder – Kristen Perrin (May 2026)

Veteran trial lawyer Marc Kasowitz has taken his courtroom skills to a new front—the battle against antisemitism on America's college campuses. In this episode, Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback talks with Kasowitz about the lawsuits he's brought against universities like NYU and Harvard, where Jewish and Israeli students faced harassment and exclusion.Their conversation explores how the legal system can hold powerful institutions accountable, what meaningful change looks like in practice, and where Kasowitz finds hope in an era of rising hate.This thoughtful exchange offers a rare look at the intersection of law, justice, and Jewish identity—and what it takes to stand up for truth and dignity when it matters most.

What if the stories you tell yourself are the very thing shaping — or sabotaging — your leadership? In this powerful episode of the Build a Vibrant Culture Podcast, Nicole sits down with Dr. Jaime Goff, psychologist, executive coach, and author of The Secure Leader. Together, they unpack the hidden forces that shape how leaders think, feel, and behave — stories formed early in life that quietly influence everything from delegation to decision-making.Dr. Goff explains why humans rely so heavily on story to make sense of the world, how neural pathways become entrenched through repetition, and why the good news of neuroplasticity means every leader can rewrite their narrative. Nicole and Jaime explore secure vs. insecure attachment styles, the roots of perfectionism and approval-seeking, emotional regulation, personal triggers, ambiguity, connection in leadership, and what it truly takes to become a secure, resilient, and authentic leader.If you've ever wondered why you lead the way you lead — or how to elevate your leadership story — this conversation is your roadmap.Vibrant Highlights:[00:01:51–00:03:24] Why Story Shapes Leadership.

“Please—all of you people out there—don't wait until you're dying to see the beauty in life.” Becca was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer at 34, went into remission, and eleven years later—when she thought she was in the clear—her cancer returned as stage four metastatic disease. What followed was a journey through brutal treatment side effects, painful decisions about quality versus quantity of life, and a profound reckoning with faith, value, and what it means to live authentically while dying. In this week's episode, Becca shares her experience leaving evangelical Christianity after her first diagnosis, wrestling with what makes a life worth living when you're sleeping 14-15 hours a day, and the reality that even within cancer communities, certain truths feel taboo to speak. She talks about the irony of saying “I'll never treat again” and then, when faced with recurrence, immediately asking “How do we treat this?” Becca's story is filled with hard-won wisdom about flexibility, authenticity, and the surprising peace that can come from facing uncertainty without the answers she once relied on. Tune in to hear Cody and Becca explore: The gap between what we say we'll do and what we actually do when facing terminal illness Leaving evangelical Christianity and finding peace in uncertainty as an atheist facing death Quality versus quantity of life: setting boundaries and taking treatment “vacations” Redefining personal value from “a human doing” to “a human being” The loneliness of dying and what's taboo even in cancer communities How “life isn't fair” can cut both ways Parenting through terminal illness and the legacy we leave in our children's minds Patient autonomy: “This is our life. We get to call the shots.” Note: This episode includes a content warning regarding discussion of suicidal ideation and self-harm during Becca's first cancer diagnosis.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!Radically Personal is a new series exploring how divine reality reveals itself within the lives of individual seekers. Based on Dr. Jerry L. Martin's newest book, Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial Age, the series invites listeners to rethink what it means to encounter the divine as intimately present and personally responsive. Each episode follows the unfolding conversation between human experience and transcendent reality, uncovering how theology itself must evolve to meet a pluralistic, spiritually awake world.In this premiere episode, “How Divine Reality Reveals Itself in Every Spiritual Journey,” Jerry begins with a simple but profound truth: reality discloses itself. Drawing from philosophy, theology, and lived experience, he explores how ultimate reality — or what we might call God — has revealed itself across times, cultures, and religious traditions.Through stories like missionary Kenneth Cracknell's awakening in Nigeria and reflections on Abraham Joshua Heschel's life-seeking theology, Jerry challenges traditional boundaries and invites a new kind of understanding. Theology Without Walls, he argues, is not just a scholarly ideal but a way of life: the quest to orient one's being toward the ultimate source of meaning.Hosted by Scott Langdon, this episode introduces listeners to a living philosophy of faith — one that honors revelation wherever it occurs and asks how each of us might find our own access point to the divine.✨ Listen as theology becomes personal, revelation becomes universal, and the search for God becomes the search for your truest self.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare your thoughts or questions at questions@godandautobiography.com

We unpack some of life’s most elusive questions—Why are we here? What does it mean to live well? McConaughey personally opens up about his evolving relationship with uncertainty, the power of reinvention, and how he learned to live in the in-between spaces—where identity shifts, purpose gets blurry, and the answers don’t come easy. This isn’t a conversation about having it all figured out. It’s about learning how to live fully, honestly, and in pursuit of something deeper.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What would life be like if there is no God?​In the book of Ecclesiastes, King Solomon writes about the meaning of life. He says a lot of the same things over and over. He also uses this phrase, "life under the sun."When Solomon says "life under the sun," he's asking you to consider—what would life be like if there is no God? Solomon says that it leads to a life that's empty and meaningless. We look for ways to divert the mind.You see this in Solomon's life in Ecclesiastes, and you see this today. The way you deal with this sense of meaninglessness, this vanity is to look for ways to divert your mind. And the way you do it, the way he did it, and the way people do it today is through pleasure and through their work.Solomon talks about all these great buildings that he's built. He talks about all the wives that he had.​Then we learn from Solomon that this is not effective. It doesn't work. These pursuits in life don't bring any type of permanence or lasting satisfaction.​And therefore he says, it's all vanity. It's all meaningless. >>Watch on YouTube
