A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Self-made Obstacles"

Stop the press, the media has a new darling. Chlöe Swarbrick and the Opportunity Party can have a breather this week, a bit of downtime, because there's only one show in town and it's Paul Henry. The self-made millionaire, the former broadcaster, has thrown his hat into the political ring again. He wants to become a polly, and not just any old polly. He has no interest in sitting on the back benches, cooling his heels, learning the ropes. He is not there to shag spiders. He's made it perfectly plain that he wants to be a minister in the next coalition government. Prime Minister, hey, why not? There is no doubt when you hear him speak that he has a real passion for New Zealand and that he wants New Zealand to be a great place for his children and grandchildren, for your children and grandchildren. And there's no doubt that he's a great cheerleader for the ACT Party. “I think with ACT I can tangibly affect change. I think with ACT, it is the only party that I think can genuinely steer this country in the right direction. By right direction I mean create policies that inspire growth of our economy because our economy is perilously small, cut wasteful government spending in so many different ways, and hopefully create an environment whereby New Zealanders, I mean your introduction was spot on, where New Zealanders aren't angsting, they're not suspicious of everything all the time. I mean the thing that holds New Zealand back, because both of us travel a lot, we can both see New Zealand with a bit of perspective from offshore. What a brilliant country with extraordinary resources and potential it is. So why is it not being realised?" That was former broadcaster Paul Henry talking to broadcaster Mike Hosking this morning. Will Paul Henry have the discipline to sit through the turgid meetings and briefings that are a part of being a politician? A lot of people go into politics and they say they're going to cut red tape and they're going to get things done, and within a matter of months they end up hogtied in the corner defeated by the red tape. Paul Henry is a loose cannon – he doesn't have to do anything. He's perfectly fine where he is. He could do whatever the hell he wanted. He's very bright, he's very quick witted. These are both blessings and curses for the ACT Party. He doesn't need the gig. He has his own thoughts. It might be a libertarian party, but by crikey, once he starts speaking his own mind within Parliament, it can create issues when you have to abide by coalition rules. And of course, Paul Henry is not the ACT Party – he's one person among many. The party has broad ranging policies and very strong ideas on just about everything, and you would have to surely look at those closely. You might like Paul Henry, but you might not like the policies that come along with Paul Henry. Do celebrities make good parliamentarians? On the one hand, it brings profile to the party, especially if they've been languishing a bit, and it's fair to say that ACT has taken a back seat to New Zealand First this year in terms of column inches generated, probably even taken a back seat to the Opportunity Party this year. National's Christopher Luxon doesn't have the pizzazz, the jazz hands of Paul Henry, nor indeed does Chris Hipkins. But I don't think Labour voters would be looking to ACT as their alternate party – but who knows, stranger things have happened. When you look at former broadcasters that have gone into politics, they've done okay, I suppose. Maggie Barry's probably the best of the recent crop. She made minister, but I think it was pretty tough going. Do self-made millionaires make good MPs? John Key was a good Prime Minister. Didn't have to do the gig and when he got bored, he went. But I think it's widely agreed that he was a pretty good PM for the times. This is probably just going to be a flash in the pan. There'll be the big announcement, we got it yesterday, it's gripped the media news cycle to the extent that we're going to wrap up I think the 24 hours of, I don't know what it was really, excitement? It wasn't shock so much, but it just seemed to be wow, it sort of energized the conversation around ACT, it energized the conversation around politics. And that's got to be a good thing. Anything that gets people interested in politics, great, but it's got to go beyond one person, it's got to go beyond celebrity, it's got to go beyond face value. As I say, if you're voting for Paul Henry you have to be very careful, as people did for Winston Peters. They liked him and the party came second. So be aware that there are broad ranging policies, have a look at those before you decide oh, I like that Paul Henry, I'm going to give him a tick. And be aware too that quick witted, mercurial people who don't need the gig might not be around for a long time. It'll be a good time, but it won't be a long time.

The lone-genius myth is overdue for retirement. In No One Is Self-Made, entrepreneur and community builder Lakeysha Hallmon argues that true success is never a solo act — it's built on relationships, reciprocity, and the village you cultivate around you. And in Professional Troublemaker, bestselling author and speaker Luvvie Ajayi Jones makes the case that the most powerful thing you can do — for yourself and for others — is to stop playing it safe and start saying the hard things out loud. Two bold voices on what it really takes to build a life and career that matters.

My guest today is Tim Moore, a serial entrepreneur with immense character. Tim's upbringing included failing a few grades, studying to become a priest, then becoming a teacher and eventually a truck driver. His life changed when he bought a secondhand pickup truck, covered it with a tarp, placed a newspaper ad, and started a moving business charging seven dollars an hour. From there, he built AMJ Campbell into Canada's largest moving company, then Premier Executive Suites and many more ventures across real estate, storage, mortgages, hospitality, and more. But that is his resume. This conversation is about something deeper. Tim talks about fear as a warrior emotion, humility as a superpower, manners as a business strategy, and why the way you treat people is the true measure of success. He understood early that a move is never just boxes and furniture. It is people trusting you with their memories, their stress, their hopes, and their next chapter. Later in the show, Kim Mason, Executive Vice President and Head of Private Banking at RBC, joins me to talk about Tim and what it means to stand beside entrepreneurs not only when things are going well but also when everything is on the line. Tim is a fantastic storyteller with many career and life lessons.     To buy Tim's book: How I Made It: Secrets of a Self-Made Multi-Millionaire  https://www.indigo.ca/products/how-i-made-it-secrets-of-a-self-made-multi-millionaire?variant=46831238414546

Rabbi Josh Feigelson takes on one of America's most cherished myths: the rugged, self-made individual. In the fourth episode of the Independence miniseries, he argues it's not only historically ironic but profoundly un-Jewish. Drawing on Torah's laws of the field, he makes the case that our success is never a solo act. The episode closes with a grounding meditation on gratitude and interdependence.

"Self-Made" success is now an American badge of honor that rewards individualist ambitions while it hammers against community obligations. Yet, four centuries ago, our foundational stories actually disparaged ambitious upstarts as dangerous and selfish threats to a healthy society. In Pamela Walker Laird's fascinating history of why and how storytellers forged this American myth, she reveals how the goals for self-improvement evolved from serving the community to supporting individualist dreams of wealth and esteem. Simplistic stories of self-made success and failure emerged that disregarded people's advantages and disadvantages and fostered inequality. Fortunately, Self-Made also recovers long-standing, alternative traditions of self-improvement to serve the common good. These challenges to the myth have offered inspiration, often coming, surprisingly, from Americans associated with self-made success, such as Benjamin Franklin, Frederick Douglass, and Horatio Alger. Here are real stories that show that no one lives – no one succeeds or fails – in a vacuum. Pamela Walker Laird is Professor Emerita of History at the University of Colorado Denver. Laird's publications include her newest book, Self-Made: The Stories that Forged an American Myth (Cambridge University Press, 2025); Pull: Networking and Success Since Benjamin Franklin (Harvard University Press, 2006), which won the 2006 Hagley Prize for the best book in business history and is available in Chinese; and Advertising Progress: American Business and the Rise of Consumer Marketing (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1998), a Choice Outstanding Academic Book.

Rocket ships. AI chips. Chinese food. Clothing. Construction. Chatbots. America's self-made women billionaires have found dozens of ways to prosper. In our first listing focusing just on those with 10-figure fortunes, Forbes found 43 self-made queens of capitalism, up from 38 a year ago as many of their businesses hit new highs. That's despite the passing of two legendary women, Gap cofounder Doris Fisher (d. May 2026 at age 94) and Bio-Rad Laboratories' Alice Schwartz (d. September 2025, 99). Among the new billionaires are Beyonce Carter-Knowles, who climbs into the ranks on the back of her 2025 Cowboy Carter Tour; Nvidia CFO Colette Kress, who's benefitting from the AI boom; Caryn Seidman-Becker, who runs Clear Secure, an ID technology outfit used for security checkpoints at airports, among other places; and Luana Lopes Lara, the 30-year-old Brazilian ballerina and MIT graduate who cofounded prediction market firm Kalshi.

Tim Rexius went from sleeping in his car and eating ketchup packets to building 5 companies across 16 countries and ~60,000 retail locations — with zero outside investment. In this episode, he breaks down why he FIRED his own AI agent (98% response rate vs AI's 5%), how he's hit rock bottom 4 times and gotten more efficient each time, and how his protein popcorn brand beat the Kardashians. This one's for the man who's chasing success but feels isolated, overworked, and one wrong move from the edge. Tim's lived it — homeless at his lowest, a self-made operator at his peak — and he doesn't talk grit, he's scaled it.   We get into: → Why rock bottom is the best foundation to build from → The "self-audit" every man needs to run on where his time actually goes → Why he flies to close deals in person in an AI world → Legacy over luxury — what your great-grandkids will actually say about you → How to make your passion your paycheck without going broke (again)   CHAPTERS 00:00 – "I Fired My AI" — the cold open 01:17 – Meet Tim Rexius: ketchup packets to 16 countries 01:46 – Rock bottom: "your belly button eating your spine" 04:09 – The only two people you can count on 05:35 – Why the motor never stops 07:56 – Hitting rock bottom 4 times (and getting better at it) 10:15 – Rich and miserable vs. broke and happy 12:39 – The woman who matched his crazy — 600% growth 14:02 – 600 batches: inventing the protein popcorn 16:14 – Golden handcuffs & the faith to jump off the cliff 17:37 – Legacy over luxury: what your great-grandkids will say 19:29 – Turning employees into business partners 23:15 – The self-audit: where 75% of your time really goes 24:04 – Why making fun of yourself closes deals 30:20 – More money is lost to indecision than wrong decisions 33:05 – SOPs, core values & being a forever student 35:37 – Your family is a pot of gold (the ultimate focus group) 41:20 – What grit actually looks like day to day 43:30 – How he beat the Kardashians' protein popcorn 46:31 – Why your fiercest competitor becomes your best friend 48:04 – The question at the door that shaped him as a man   Rexius's Links: Website:timrexius.com LinkedIn: @timothyrexius Youtube: @timothydrexius  

Are you exhausted from constantly saying "I've got it" while quietly drowning under the weight of your to-do list? In this lighthearted yet deeply convicting episode of She Will Flourish, Rachel Earp breaks down the myth of the self-made woman and exposes why hyper-independence is actually a trap. Discover how isolating yourself blocks your creative flow, drains your spiritual stamina, and why trading the independent hustle for intentional sisterhood is the ultimate key to fulfilling your God-given calling.Let's have a quick, honest family meeting: How many overstuffed grocery bags are you currently trying to carry up the stairs by yourself simply because you refuse to ask for help?In this episode, host Rachel Earp tackles a sneaky little pattern that high-achieving Christian women, entrepreneurs, and ministry leaders wear like a badge of honor: hyper-independence. We dive into why our knee-jerk reaction is to reject support, how isolation disguises itself as strength, and the reality that "Independence Island" is an incredibly lonely place to build a vision.Using the timeless wisdom of Ecclesiastes, Rachel unpacks God's true blueprint for collaboration and community. You were never designed to be a one-woman army. If you are ready to drop the exhausting "do-it-all-myself" armor, learn the art of receiving, and discover how holy mentorship accelerates your growth, this episode is exactly what your soul needs to hear.Follow Rachel Earp on Instagram @iamrachelearpFollow Flourish on Instagram @youbelonginflourishStep Onto Our Front Porch: Ready to trade the exhausting solo hustle for an intentional, supportive sisterhood?

If investing has ever felt confusing, overwhelming, or like everyone else got a manual you somehow missed, this episode is for you. In this episode, I break down how investing actually works from the ground up. We cover what an investment really is, how compound interest creates wealth, why diversification matters, and the biggest mistakes that cause people to lose money. Most importantly, I want you to see that investing isn't complicated. It's simply a skill that nobody taught us. When you understand the foundations, investing stops feeling intimidating and starts feeling empowering. Tune in to learn: What an investment actually is (+ why things like cars, boats, and even some houses aren't necessarily investments) How compound interest really works using a simple apple orchard analogy Why the second decade of investing is exponentially more valuable than the first The biggest investing mistakes people make, from stock picking and crypto concentration to relying on underperforming advisors How to set up investments properly, know your financial freedom numbers, and build a portfolio that grows wealth predictably over time

John Paul DeJoria grew up with no connections, no money, and no roadmap. He sold encyclopedias door-to-door despite constant rejection, got fired from three consecutive jobs, and lived out of his car while raising his young son. Then, with just $700, he launched John Paul Mitchell Systems and built it into a billion-dollar haircare company. That same relentless spirit later helped him turn Patrón Tequila into one of the most recognized spirit brands in the world. In this episode, John Paul joins Ilana to share what it truly takes to build something from nothing, why rejection is just redirection, and why success unshared is failure. John Paul DeJoria is a self-made billionaire, entrepreneur, and the visionary co-founder behind John Paul Mitchell Systems and Patrón Tequila. Beyond his iconic business achievements, he is a passionate philanthropist dedicated to creating a positive global impact.

For half a century, the BTK Killer story has been told the way Dennis Rader wanted it told. Factor X. The Minotaur. The BTK brand. Every term that has anchored his mythology came from a typewriter in his own kitchen in Park City, Kansas. Every term was his.In this first chapter of a five-part investigation from True Crime Today, host Tony Brueski sets the version of Dennis Rader that documentaries have repeated for forty-seven years next to the actual investigative file. The two don't match.The man who wrote the 1978 Factor X letter to KAKE-TV was a thirty-two-year-old husband and father. An alarm installer for ADT in Wichita. A student at Wichita State University working toward a degree in the administration of justice. He had taken courses on profiling. He knew what serial killers were supposed to sound like in the cultural imagination of the late seventies. He typed himself into the role.The press printed his words. The cops filed his words. The country read his words. And for nearly fifty years, when somebody has tried to explain Dennis Rader, they have explained him the way he wanted to be explained.This episode walks through the 1978 letter sentence by sentence. The literary references he borrowed from. The cultural figures he compared himself to. The contradictions inside the letter that read, in retrospect, less like the confession of a possessed killer and more like the audition tape of a man trying out for a role.The series will continue with the chase that didn't close, the official roles that made him invisible, the thirteen-year silence between his confirmed killings, and the floppy disk that ended his thirty-one years of getting away with it.

Dennis Rader was the BTK Killer. He was also the man who named himself the BTK Killer. He typed the name onto an envelope and mailed it to the Wichita Eagle in October of 1974, and the city has been calling him by that name ever since.In the first chapter of a new five-part investigation, Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski takes apart the mythology Dennis Rader built around his own crimes. Factor X. The Minotaur. The BTK brand. None of it came from a profiler. None of it came from a detective. All of it came from a man at his own kitchen typewriter in Park City, Kansas, while his wife slept down the hall.For nearly fifty years, the BTK story has been told in his words and his frame. Documentaries quote his letters. Books quote his letters. Podcasts quote his letters. The version of him in the cultural imagination is the version he composed about himself.The actual file shows something different. A criminal justice student at Wichita State who'd taken classes on offender profiling. An alarm installer who had legal access to hundreds of Wichita homes. A husband and a father who chose, at thirty-two, to begin writing himself a role he could spend the rest of his life playing.This episode walks through what Rader wrote, when he wrote it, what he borrowed from, and the press response that made the legend official. The series will follow with the chase that didn't close, the costumes that made him invisible, the thirteen-year silence between his confirmed murders, and the catch that ended his run in 2005.This is the first uncomfortable truth. Dennis Rader was not a force of evil. He was a vain man with a marketing plan and a typewriter that worked.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everett Taylor is the CEO of Kickstarter, the platform that's helped creators raise over $8 billion and launch everything from billion dollar companies to side hustles that print cash.

Lord Northcliffe, born Alfred Harmsworth, was a self-made newspaper mogul who recognized aviation's strategic importance early on. In 1913, his newspaper, the Daily Mail, offered a £10,000 prize for the first non-stop transatlantic flight, realizing that aviation meant Britain was "no longer an island." Though the First World War suspended the challenge, it was reignited in 1919. The Vickers team was led by John "Jack" Alcock, a working-class mechanic from Manchester whose obsession with engines led him to become one of Britain's greatest pilots. He partnered with Arthur Whitten Brown, known as Ted, an American citizen and electrical engineer who had survived a harrowing war experience, including being shot down twice. Despite their different temperaments—Alcock was outgoing while Brownwas quiet and diffident—the two veterans shared a determination to achieve a great gesture for the future of aviation. (1/4)1907
