Today's episode is one of the top episodes of 2025, which is why I wanted to bring it back during the holiday season. Hope you enjoy it!

Eric “ET” Thomas reveals the brutal truth he learned living homeless in Detroit: your greatest enemy isn't the world against you, it's you against yourself. He shares the moment he looked in the mirror and apologized to himself for the choices that led him to abandoned buildings and survival mode, and how that single act of taking ownership changed everything. This isn't about positive thinking or motivation. It's about taking back the keys to your life and refusing to give anyone else power over your future. Whether you're stuck in a good life that feels empty or drowning in circumstances you didn't choose, ET shows you how to stop blaming and start building the life you were meant to live. The path forward starts the moment you realize you are your greatest asset, and everything you need is already inside you.ET's books:The Secret to SuccessGreatness Is Upon You: Laying the FoundationGreatness Is Upon You: Abandoning Average and Seizing GreatnessGreatness Is Upon You: How Sacrifice and Humility Positioned Me for GreatnessGreatness 21 (Character Bootcamp Book 1)You Owe You: Ignite Your Power, Your Purpose, and Your WhyIn this episode you will:Unlock your greatest potential by investing in yourself first before chasing external assets, careers, or relationshipsDiscover why taking full ownership of your life is the only path to freedom, even when others have genuinely hurt youTransform your relationship with yourself by becoming your own first best friend before seeking validation from othersBreak through the victim mindset that keeps you powerless by recognizing you are the common denominator in every situationMaster the difference between fact-based and feeling-based decisions that will determine whether you thrive or surviveFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1871For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Shaka Senghor & Christian HowesMuniba MazariMichelle Obama Get more from Lewis!

Not everyone likes surprises. Personally, I love being surprised – as long as it's a GOOD surprise. And even more than that, I love surprising people and just seeing their reaction. About 3-4 years ago, I got what I think is the biggest surprise of my life. At that time, my dad had been gone for about 6 or 7 years. And one night my mom invited all the family over for a game night at her place. This happens all the time, so nothing unusual. But while we were all there, she made an announcement that, at age 80, she was going to get married again. I never saw it coming. But it has worked out great. Jim and my dad were actually best friends for most of their lives. Jim's wife had passed away a few years earlier, so… it really all made sense. And it made for a crazy and wonderful surprise for all of us. Today you'll hear about a surprise that Victoria got one day, from a former neighbor. It was about her dad, and it was not a good surprise. Victoria told this story on the podcast about 4 years ago, and after our conversation you'll hear an update on what has happened with her family – and her dad – since then.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Institutional and ritualistic abuse survivor, whistleblower and overcomer, published writer and author, public speaker and podcaster, travel lover, campaigner of historical child abuse, and a man determined to speak out, challenge institutional defensiveness, and advocate for survivor-led accountability and change: Rafael Viola A little bit about Rafael and what you can expect to hear on today's episode: In the gritty underbelly of 1960s Britain, where poverty gripped families like a vice and the Catholic Church loomed as an unassailable pillar of holiness, a young boy named Rafael Viola was thrust into a nightmare that would test the limits of human endurance. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Rafael grew up in a bustling household of many siblings amid the stark realities of deprivation. In 1969, at just nine years old, Rafael's family relocated to Coventry, England, seeking better fortunes. But the transition shattered him. A psychological test labeled him "severely retarded" - a misdiagnosis that would haunt him for years. His mother, unable to read or speak English fluently, unwittingly signed papers committing him to the care of the local authority. As a Catholic, he was sent to Croome Court, a so-called boarding school run by the Sisters of Charity of St. Paul's Apostle under the Birmingham ArchdioceseFrom the moment he arrived at nine and a half, Croome Court became a chamber of horrors. Housing around 150 children - many who were orphans, traumatized children, and children labeled as "feeble-minded" - the institution was a breeding ground for unimaginable atrocities. Nuns, priests, and staff wielded terror like a divine right.But the abuse went far beyond bruises. Priests and staff ritualistically raped, abused and tortured children, in a pattern dating back to the 1930s, as reports later revealed. Allegations of murder surfaced - two children killed by the same order of nuns. Rafael himself endured beatings, waterboarding, scrubbing filthy toilets in pajamas with drain fluid, and being locked in pitch-black cupboards for days without food. Today, Rafael stands unbowed - a messenger of truth, protected by a higher force. "I think I'm a messenger... I had to go through all that pain and suffering to tell my experiences." He amplifies survivors' voices, demanding justice, compensation, and change. "These atrocities are still going on... we have to stop it." CONNECT WITH RAFAEL: -Purchase his book "Stealing Lives": https://a.co/d/58ypG6m-X: https://x.com/RafaelViola17-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/violarafael/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rafael_violaYouTube: @RafaelViola-l8p - https://www.youtube.com/@RafaelViola-l8pCONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficial                    EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links:Support the show

When what one wears is closely tied to their experience of religion and belief, it can be either comforting or deeply destructive.  In this No Filter episode (Rated PG; may not be suitable for all audiences), host Robin Linkhart sits down Nancy Ross and Larissa Kanno-Kindred to talk about their new book, Mormon Garments: Sacred and Secret, in which they explore the impact of Mormon garments on believers' lives, focusing on the intersection of belief, gender, and social regulation. The conversation highlights the physical and spiritual discomfort experienced by both men and women, and the broader implications of these practices on identity and community dynamics.

You're about to learn how government approved food policies, regulatory loopholes, and corporate lobbying have quietly reshaped what's allowed in the food supply and why these decisions are driving chronic inflammation, immune dysfunction, and neurological breakdown at scale. This episode exposes how biotoxins, ultra processed ingredients, and systemic regulatory failures contribute to long COVID, POTS, mold illness, chronic fatigue, and dysautonomia and why so many people feel sick despite following official health guidance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Will Cole, a functional medicine expert who works extensively with autoimmune disease, mold illness, hormonal dysfunction, digestive disorders, and complex brain related symptoms. Dr. Cole brings years of clinical experience analyzing lab data and treating patients with biotoxin exposure, neuro immune dysregulation, and chronic fatigue patterns. Together, they connect the dots between mold exposure, post viral illness, mast cell activation, low blood pressure, and why many people with long COVID or POTS feel dizzy, inflamed, and cognitively impaired. They explain how histamine overload, electrolyte depletion, cortisol imbalance, and genetics combine to disrupt blood flow to the brain and shut down human performance. The conversation focuses on practical functional medicine and biohacking tools that help rebuild resilience at the mitochondrial and nervous system level. You'll Learn: • Why long COVID, mold illness, POTS, and chronic fatigue often share the same biological drivers • How biotoxins like mold and viral exposure dysregulate the neuro immune endocrine axis • Why low blood pressure reduces blood flow to the brain and causes brain fog and fatigue • What mast cell activation syndrome is and how histamine overload affects the body and brain • Why electrolytes, especially sodium, potassium, and magnesium, are foundational for recovery • How creatine supports brain energy, hydration, and mitochondrial function • The role of cortisol in inflammation, stress tolerance, and nervous system stability • When antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers can improve quality of life • How nicotine acts as a low dose neuroprotective compound when used carefully • The benefits and risks of methylene blue for mitochondrial and cognitive support • Why removing the trigger matters more than chasing symptoms • How a functional medicine approach rebuilds resilience instead of masking dysfunction • Why creatine absorption improves when added to hot coffee • How Danger Coffee fits into performance, hydration, and brain energy Thank you to our sponsors! - IGNITON | Go to http://igniton.com/ and use code DAVE for 15% off your first order. -TRU KAVA | Go to https://trukava.com/ and use code DAVE10 for 10% off. -Caldera + Lab | Go to https://calderalab.com/DAVE and use code DAVE at checkout for 20% off your first order. -LYMA | Go to https://lyma.sjv.io/gOQ545 and use code DAVE10 for 10% off the LYMA Laser.

TCW Podcast Episode 249 - New World Computing   We look at the rise and fall of New World Computing through the career of Jon Van Caneghem. Coming from the era of the lone programmer as the industry shifted toward larger development houses, Jon built Might and Magic into one of the most influential RPG franchises of its time. We trace the evolution of the series from its early focus on quest driven gameplay, early auto mapping, and the introduction of features like quest logs and reactive character portraits. Along the way, New World Computing briefly experimented with board games, returning to video games with King's Bounty, a title that would later be reimagined as Heroes of Might and Magic after a marketing push to leverage the stronger Might and Magic name. We examine the company's shifting publishing relationships, struggles with distribution, and eventual acquisition by the 3DO Company. While Heroes of Might and Magic III brought major success, pressure from 3DO led to rushed releases, excessive expansions, and declining quality across both franchises. As Might and Magic moved into 3D and real time combat, development resources became increasingly strained.

Cole says goodbye to the Secret community.

In the note attributed to an unnamed assistant, she says Jeffrey Epstein changed her life. Once a 22-year-old divorcee working as a hostess in a hotel restaurant, she claims Epstein introduced her to elite society and experiences far beyond what she'd ever known. She name-drops having met Prince Andrew, President Clinton, Donald Trump, Naomi Campbell, Michael Jackson, and other high‐profile figures. She writes about traveling the world with him, doing things like flying on the Concorde, taking flying lessons, scuba diving, parasailing, attending Victoria's Secret fashion shows, seeing the private quarters of Buckingham Palace, and even sitting on the Queen's throne.More than just experiences, her letter is a praise piece: she expresses admiration, gratitude, and wonder. She calls Epstein “the most extraordinary person I've ever met,” saying she can't believe how lucky she is to have become part of his life. She also mentions learning “countless skills” thanks to him. Altogether, her stories paint a picture of Epstein as someone who elevated her existence, opening doors and giving her access to opportunity, privilege, and glamour — whether or not those images now seem deeply troubling.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein's assistant names Donald Trump, Prince Andrew among leaders she metBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Art is the last bastion of free speech, says Victor-Hugo Vaca II, an artist and the founder of the Modern Art Music Movement. He has dedicated his life to shedding light on the darkness, and he currently lives near the border of Russia, between warzones and hotspots of global conflict. Victor-Hugo is passionate about bringing truth to the light in order to combat globalist deception, and he uses his art as a form of reporting, painting the news, and utilizing his platform to help save humanity. Victor-Hugo says America is the last country standing in the way of the one-world government's arrival. He also talks about why the former Pope partook in a strange and eerie “portal” ritual at the Vatican in 2024. “It's all symbolism,” Victor-Hugo says. “They're trying to get people to change their perception.” He describes this era as the “Age of Deception” and the “Age of the Apocalypse.”TAKEAWAYSThe world is moving closer to digital slaveryAccording to some, CERN has identified at least 17 new dimensionsIn the near future, the government may implement Project Blue Beam to create mass illusions to manipulate the populaceVictor suggests that the elites may even stage a fake alien invasion to frighten people and force them to comply to the New World Order

Taylor Rae lives in three worlds at once — mainstream adult performer, OnlyFans creator, and strip club vet — and she has a resemblance to a very famous person that you're going to recognize instantly. We get into whether she'll ever play with that look for adult parody-style content, and why porn parodies basically vanished in the first place.Then we get into the real-life side of things: relationships, trust, and what happens when someone just can't handle the reality of a performer's job. Taylor opens up about a partner outing her work to her family, the reality behind that kind of betrayal, and what respect and support actually look like when you're with a performer. Add in kink, power dynamics, facials, creampies, and a few strip club stories that belong in a museum, and you've got an episode that's hot, honest, and incredibly human.Enjoy EP 206: "A Hole On The Internet" with Taylor Rae.Watch the video version of the show on YouTube YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIuCkOl_XummXVdu1t3XOuQFollow Taylor RaeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tattedtaylorae (@tattedtaylorae)Follow the showInstagram: https://instagram.com/sexparty.fm (@sexparty.fm)Twitter: https://twitter.com/sexpartyfm (@sexpartyfm)Follow Dustin Instagram: https://instagram.com/dustin.rybka (@dustin.rybka)Twitter: https://twitter.com/dustinrybka (@dustinrybka)Sex Party with Dustin Rybka

In this episode of Root Issues, we dive deep into one of Paul's most profound declarations about Christian contentment found in Philippians 4:11-29. What does it truly mean to be content in every circumstance—whether in plenty or in want? We explore the Greek text to uncover Paul's "secret" of contentment and discover that his sufficiency wasn't rooted in circumstances, personal strength, or material provision, but in Christ himself.

Please enjoy a great conversation and in-person show here in the Sacramento studios of the B.rad podcast with my good friend and sprinting mentor Cynthia Monteleone, coming to you all the way from the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. We had a long, wide-ranging discussion on health, fitness, peak performance, and longevity—especially in Cynthia’s area of expertise, acting as a truth seeker and naysayer in the health and fitness scene. She isn’t afraid to speak straight, challenge prevailing opinions, and back it up with deep research and her experience working with elite athletes. We talk about the popular idea that preserving muscle mass is the key to longevity, why that insight is incomplete, and why muscle power, explosiveness, and strength are the real drivers of healthy aging. Cynthia also explains why jogging can actually make you slower and age faster—while walking does not—and why tired training backfires, along with the idea that recovery is just as much about the brain as it is about the muscles. As a Team USA world-champion sprinter and coach to Olympic and world-champion Masters-level athletes, Cynthia shares her thoughts on sprinting as an anti-aging strategy, creatine and why it’s not for everyone, diet—including dairy—and we even have some fun breaking down Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s viral green smoothie and the potential downside of consuming large amounts of plant toxins. She also talks about how she trains everyday people the same way she trains elite athletes, and why we should all think of ourselves that way. Cynthia has been a huge source of inspiration and reason for me over the years, and I really appreciate her willingness to think deeply, challenge trends, and always speak honestly about what actually works. A Team USA world-champion sprinter, Cynthia Monteleone is a highly trained metabolic health analytics practitioner who coaches numerous Olympic athletes and world-champion Masters-level athletes. She goes deep into the nuances of what delivers peak performance and helps people overcome health challenges to reach personal goals, especially weight loss and excelling in athletic goals. You can follow her at @FastOVER40 on Instagram and learn more at mamstrong808.com. Cynthia also has a healthy, natural skincare line: Earthen Hawaii. TIMESTAMPS: We talk about the difference between just holding on to muscle mass and maintaining muscle power. [02:24] After being a college athlete, Cynthia married and had children. When her 11-year-old showed interest, she went back to the track. [06:52] There are many people who aren't reaching their genetic potential. [13:04] Walking versus jogging: when you are jogging you are preserving slow twitch muscle fibers. [19:43] The power matters more than the muscle size. [26:18] When you do slow eccentrics (lowering the weight during the bicep curl), you are recruiting more muscle fibers. [29:48] Unless you are doing the Olympic Lifts in perfect form, the injury risks outweigh the benefits. [34:11] If you're an advanced sprinter, and you're training by doing hills and doing sled pushes, it's important at some point closer to your season to follow that resistance with flat work that's fast. [36:59] People often overdo jogging. It can be detrimental to your health. [40:03] It's good to do a dynamic cool-down. Little drills, like instead of jogging, you duck walks or toe walks. All manner of static stretching is ill-advised. [42:02] It takes years for medical textbooks and journals to be updated to current findings. [46:12] Cynthia is a metabolic practitioner. She works with elite athletes as certified strength coach, encouraging diet and supplements. [50:58] What is wrong with the basic dietary notions we've been taught to believe are healthy? [53:02] Earthen Hawaii produces healthful skincare products rather than chemically laden things. [53:41] When working with a client's diet what Cynthia does is specifically pinpoint to that individual what they need most of and what is holding them back? [57:48] She teaches her clients to eat for neurotransmitters. [01:02:33] What about fasting? A workout of an hour gives a similar autophagy effect to fasting for 48 hours. [01:09:12] AI and algorithms are causing a problem with misinformation. Be careful. [01:17:20] The best athletes are always open to hearing all the information they can use for their competitive lifestyle. [01:21:35] Every supplement is not right for everyone. [01:25:06] What other foods and what other dietary patterns come up that you would suggest some experimentation and some trial and error if I'm trying to optimize my diet all the way? [01:28:22] There's a huge disparity in the quality and purity of whey protein. [01:32:21] Venison is highly nutritious. [ 01:35:11] Limiting grains is the key. [01:38:26] The type of exercise we do affects what kind of gut bacteria we produce. [01:40:05] Sugar can affect the hormones. [01:44:56] What is the difference between muscles and brain recovery?

This week on the podcast, the dragon's visiting Victoria — because we're watching the Uchū Sentai Kyuranger episode "Space.8: Secret of Commander Shou Ronpo"! When is stealing food like attacking John Wick's dog? Why do we miss the absence of coat? And — wait. Was... was that the end of the episode? Uh...? The answers to these questions (and more!) await, on this episode of the Ranger Danger Kyuranger podcast!

Send us a textWhat if the keys to calmer, clearer dog training are hiding in a muddy field at dawn?In this episode, we sit down with a farm-animal vet who swapped spotless theatres for open skies and on-call chaos. She walks us through the reality of rural practice - live calves at sunrise, emergency lambings, tea-stop triage, and the quiet skill of handling animals without force or fear.From those stories come the lessons every dog owner needs: • How reading body language becomes second nature • Why space is a cue and how stepping ahead or behind a shoulder can turn movement on like a switch • How pen size, positioning, and calm energy make handling safer and more effective • Why one well-trained dog can steady nervous sheep better than three people • How preparation and restraint change outcomes - whether it's a surgical success or the weight of a loss under anaesthesiaThen we connect the dots.Reluctant horses become blueprints for confidence games. Herding principles translate directly into agility handling, leash work, recall, and settling in busy environments. Working collies, kelpies, and huntaways show what clarity, timing, and resilience look like in motion and how the same principles transform everyday pet training.By the end, you'll understand why “stock sense” isn't just for farmers. It's a universal animal language - one that takes the chaos out of training and replaces it with calm, connection, and confidence.If this sparks ideas for your own training, share the episode, hit follow, and drop a quick review.Support the showIf you're loving the podcast, you'll love our NEW Sexier than a Squirrel Dog Training Challenge even more!
