Podcasts about second place

Send us a textThe ancient tradition of Il Palio in Siena showcases a complex system of strategic corruption, neighborhood rivalries, and high-stakes horse racing that has endured for centuries. This 90-second race around Siena's central piazza involves extensive bribery, intense negotiations, and centuries-old vendettas that make speed secondary to political maneuvering.• Horse assignments determined by lottery prevent wealthy neighborhoods from buying fastest horses but create opportunities for strategic corruption• Jockeys accept bribes up to €80,000 to impede rivals or assist allies, with reputation determining future employment• The "rincorsa" (starter horse) wields extraordinary power in determining when the race begins• Enforcement of bribe agreements relies on reputation, trust, and fear rather than formal contracts• Coming in second place is considered worse than finishing last, leading to public ridicule that can last generations• Neighborhood identities and rivalries date back to medieval times, with memories of betrayals lasting decadesBook o'da'week:  Okay, it's a film.  But it's great!Book o da week:  Il Palio documentary, 2015.

He emphasizes that singleness, like marriage, is a gift from God, offering unique opportunities for undivided devotion to the Lord and gospel ministry. Noel challenges common misconceptions that view singleness as a lesser state or a "waiting room" for marriage. He encourages singles to leverage their flexibility for God's purposes while also addressing the temptations and pitfalls that can arise in this season of life.Subscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Download a copy of the Exodus JournalVisit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.comSubscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Visit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.com

Stepdad life—it's a wild ride! Ever wonder if being a stepdad is a thankless job or comes with secret rewards? Oh yes, this video breaks it all down with raw, real talk and some hilarious side stories. From dealing with sketchy baby daddies to navigating family dynamics, we're unpacking it all. Never in my life have I seen something so relatable AND crazy at the same time.

So, recently, Vitaliy Katsenelson, CFA, who is a writer and investor had a Substack post that really resonated with me.And by recently, I mean yesterday.Anyway, in it Vitaliy said that “Each Day Is a Separate Life.”You wake up and you are born. You go to sleep and that's the end of the day/life. You get it, right?This concept isn't new. It comes from Seneca, this ancient philosopher and thinker in the Roman Empire, 2,000 years ago, who was rather hyper focused on thinking about wealth even though he was one of the richest people of his time. And who knows? Seneca probably took it from someone else.Seneca was a thinker and a clerk and a politician and a writer. So, like a lot of us, he did a lot of things.What matters to us on the podcast today is what Vitaliy took away from Seneca's writings and that's the concept of time.He writes,“After reading Seneca, it is impossible not to want to retake control of the most important, irreplaceable gift you are given as a birthright – time. But how do you do this? I borrowed my practical solution from Seneca: ‘Begin at once to live and count each separate day as a separate life.' “‘Each separate day as a separate life.' What a brilliant idea. A life bookended by sunrise and sunset. A day is a perfect, meaningful measuring unit. I can look at each day and evaluate how I spent it. If I achieve mostly perfect days, then they'll spill into a perfect life. ”Every January most of us set New Year's resolutions. Though we don't think about it that way, we really treat each year as Seneca's separate life. Except that a year is so long that we forget about our New Year's resolutions by March. We writers (and other humans) waste a lot of time thinking about writing, procrastinating about writing, and doing things like cruising social media, that don't help us actually write.We only have a limited amount of time in each day. We waste a lot of it. “What man can you show me who places any value on his time, who reckons the worth of each day, who understands that he is dying daily? For we are mistaken when we look forward to death; the major portion of death has already passed. Whatever years lie behind us are in death's hands,” Seneca wrote. His advice according to Vitaliy, “Hold every hour in your grasp. Lay hold of today's task, and you will not need to depend so much upon tomorrow's. While we are postponing, life speeds by.” Think of each day that you write as a new life as a writer. If you spend that day, not writing, what does that mean? If this was your final day would you want to create? Would you want to share stories? Or would spend that last day arguing with other people in town about curb cuts and bad parking jobs?As Vitaliy writes, “The goal is not to change our activities but to change our state of mind as we carry out those activities. You don't want to stop thinking about or planning for tomorrow; instead, as you think about tomorrow, remember to appreciate today. Or as Seneca puts it, ‘Hurry up and live.'” Try it for a week maybe. Just one week commit to a couple of things:Live the day like it's your last Wake up in the morning thinking about what matters to you. Write something or create something on each day. It doesn't need to be finished. It doesn't need to be perfect.A lot of people ask me (Carrie) how I produce so much. How much? I've written over a million words for our daily newspaper this year. And that's just our newspaper, right? Well, secret number one is that I have a Shaun. But secret number two is that I expect to never have enough time to get all I want to get done out there.Prince was a little like this too, but um, much more genius.But try it for a hot second—or a week. It's the opposite of the slow it down and chill movement.Vitaliy mentions having a daily journal so that you can “examine our ‘separate life' at the end of each day.”He writes, '“Reviewing your day presents an opportunity to learn from your mistakes and correct them. For instance, today I debated politics with a friend for an hour. As I look at that hour, the time was completely wasted, and I won't get it back.”That journaling can really help you think about what matters and how you spend your time. It's a mindful moment. So, just think, maybe, about what you want your life (your days) to be about.DOG TIP FOR LIFERoutines can sometimes be the epitome of their lives. Make each day your best day. Get the cat food can. Take your walk. Look forward to all the things!RANDOM THOUGHT LINKLink to that AP articlePLACES TO SUBMIT THIS DECEMBER!

It seems that we will gain autonomy but by our striving to be separate, and that our independence from the rest of God's creation is the way in which salvation is obtained. Yet all we find is sickness, suffering and loss and death. This is not what our Father wills for us, nor is there any second to His Will. To join with His is but to find our own. And since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize our will.There is no will but Yours. And I am glad that nothing I imagine contradicts what You would have me be. It is Your Will that I be wholly safe, eternally at peace. And happily I share that Will which You, my Father, gave as part of me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Episode 445 - Judy Gruen - Bylines and Blessings - Writing is almost as essential as breathingI began my writing career in the health care field, and sold my first freelance humor pieces by age 22 to the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, the scrappy underdog newspaper to the Los Angeles Times.Since then, I've written 5 books, including my memoirs Bylines and Blessings and The Skeptic and the Rabbi, both works of my heart. I'm an award-winning columnist for the Jewish Journal, where my work earned First Place in Commentary from the American Jewish Press Association's Simon Rockower Awards, and Second Place for Book Reviews from the L.A. Press Club's Southern California Journalism Awards, both in 2024.My work has also been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, Christian Science Monitor, Boston Globe, New York Daily News, Los Angeles Times, Aish.com, Jewish Action, Chabad.org, and many other outlets.I also love working with writers as a book coach, guiding them as they realize their visions of a professionally written and edited book. I've worked with writers on memoirs, as well as on Jewish philosophy, business communications, alternative health journeys, and more.To me, writing is almost as essential as breathing. It is a privilege and joy for me to be able to share my writing with a receptive audience.“To me, writing is almost as essential as breathing.

Less than two weeks before the caucuses, Tommy heads to Iowa to spend a few days going to campaign events, talking with voters, and taking the pulse of the race for second place. He attends two Ron DeSantis events—and learns the Florida governor is as boring as everyone says—interviews Vivek Ramaswamy on his campaign bus, and sneaks into a Nikki Haley event. With just a few days of campaigning to go, do any of these candidates have the momentum to beat expectations in Iowa and defeat Donald Trump?
