In this hilarious, unfiltered, and deeply relatable episode of the Sex and Bacon podcast, Sarah sits down with Steph V—author and host of Dating Dicks—to unravel the art of dating emotionally unavailable men, how we ignore red flags on purpose, and why we sometimes mistake chaos for chemistry.

Could you be one of the tens of thousands of people unknowingly living with a myocardial bridge? Or worse yet, knowingly living with the condition and not having it recognized as a potentially symptomatic, even life threatening, condition? My guest today is another local acquaintance.

Janie Desmond Ison and I are going to unpack the startling statistic that while a quarter of the population may have myocardial bridges, only a small fraction are diagnosed as symptomatic. This episode challenges prevalent misconceptions, shares the journey of symptoms often dismissed, and highlights the power of awareness in seeking proper medical attention. Through her story, we aim to connect with those who might feel alone in their struggle and encourage them to pursue the support they need, knowing this is yet another example of the condition that may be similar to what you're facing.Join us as we follow an individual's incredible journey from experiencing mild symptoms like shortness of breath and palpitations to receiving a life-changing diagnosis of a myocardial bridge and an uncommon solution. We discuss managing this condition amidst complications like low blood pressure and fatigue due to treatments from beta blockers. The narrative sheds light on navigating unexpected health issues and the emotional and physical challenges of making complex medical decisions. We emphasize the vital importance of trust in healthcare professionals and explore the paths available for effective management and recovery.Our conversation also offers a hopeful glimpse into life after heart surgery, focusing on recovery's emotional and physical hurdles.

In this episode, Guy talked with Karen Garton, who shared her profound journey of overcoming childhood trauma, her transformational experiences at retreats, and the power of storytelling in her healing process. Initially in denial about the impact of her childhood sexual abuse, Karen eventually embarked on a 13-year healing journey that included various modalities such as meditation, Tantra, and therapeutic conversations. Her breakthrough came with deeply visceral experiences at retreats, leading her to leave her job and pursue passion projects that help other women find their voices and heal. Karen's story is one of courage, resilience, and the transformative power of leaning into personal challenges. About Karen: Supporting women to have confidence in their voices. To embrace their unique perspective and ideas. To unashamedly own and share their story.  Karen supports women to own the value of their ideas and perspectives through hosting speaking events. • Live Storytelling Nights • WomanSpeak Circle Leader  The experiences she hosts explore what it is that often holds a woman back. They support women to find what's in their hearts and speak from a place of authenticity. Stories shared from a whole-hearted place are a gift of wisdom and perspective to the listener, broadening understanding and facilitating meaningful connection.  Karen's experience of childhood sexual abuse motived her to begin telling her story at storytelling events in 2014 to share her healing experience and break the silent taboo of speaking about childhood sexual abuse. She now hosts her own storytelling nights in Melbourne, Victoria.  Karen is currently writing a book that describes her journey of healing from childhood sexual abuse and the many tools, practices and modalities that supported her through that journey. Her dream is to provide retreat spaces for people that have experienced childhood sexual abuse to soothe and explore their wounds and heal. So they too can speak from the scar.

It's the end of 2002 and I am fully immersed in the world of technology, running a bicoastal tech event. Over lunch with a new connection, we start unraveling a really wild idea - what if we were to build a software application using technology that has never been combined before? Just for fun, we scribble our ideas onto a napkin.  A few days later, something truly incredible happens. We get invited to build this software for the TED Conference. I think to myself, This is way out of my league. We have no team. No roadmap. Just a napkin. And only eight weeks to somehow make this happen.  However, the chance to create something that the world has never seen before is way too thrilling to ignore, so within a weekend, we pull together a team from all over the U.S. and Canada. Eight weeks go by, and we barely sleep. There are moments where I wonder, Is this a huge mistake? Day after day, though, fueled by adrenaline and sheer audacity, we keep pushing forward. When TED arrives, we hold our breath as we unveil our creation. Guess what? Not only does it work, but people engage with the software in ways we never even imagined. In that moment – watching as people interact and seeing our vision come to life – it truly hits me that we did it. And that moment changes everything. As it turns out, a little innovation and audacity can rewrite the rules in a life-altering way. Someone who knows all about that is today's guest, Gina Osborn. After nearly three decades in law enforcement chasing Cold War spies, foiling terrorist plots, and tracking down cybercriminals, this is just another day on the job for her. In this episode of the Storytelling School Podcast, you'll learn about the best way to build rapport, whether the glass ceiling is just a state of mind, and the consequences of choosing a hill to die on. You'll also get answers to questions like:  How do real-life experiences shape the way we tell and also interpret stories? How can unexpected challenges or turning points redefine the course of a story - or of a life? And how do you get wary people to trust you? What you will learn in this episode: How being innovative and audacious can lead to unexpected success How role models can help shape our beliefs about what's possible How careers can be redefined by both adversity and opportunities The importance of collaboration and persistence when taking on a challenge Why preparation and resilience are important in any career - especially a dangerous one Who is Gina? Gina Osborn spent 28 years in law enforcement where she took on espionage, terrorism, and cybercrime. Initially beginning her career in 1986 as a Counterintelligence Special Agent in the U.S. Army handling high-profile Cold War espionage cases in Europe, she transitioned in 1996 by joining the FBI, where she investigated Asian Organized Crime, supervised counterterrorism operations in Southeast Asia, and led major cybercrime cases. After her retirement in 2018, Gina became a sought-after keynote speaker, using her real-life experiences to educate and inspire audiences. She is also the host of the upcoming podcast Making Maverick Moves which will feature trailblazers who challenge norms and redefine success!

Episode #102 - In this heartfelt episode of the Awakened Heart Podcast, I sit down with Brownell Landrum, a talented writer and storyteller whose nomadic lifestyle deeply influences her creative work. Brownell shares how she follows her intuition, guided by what she calls “traffic angels,” and the ways surrendering to life's flow has shaped her path.  Brownell is an author, inventor, songwriter, and explorer of metaphysical mysteries. In addition to being the host and executive producer of the Life is a Trip Reincarnation Stories Podcast and the author of The End  and the upcoming We Meet Again trilogy, she is the author of over a dozen books and screenplays ranging from nonfiction (Five Reasons Why Bad Things Happen) to fiction including The DUET stories novel series, children's books, and more. We dive into powerful themes like reincarnation, historical inspirations, and the impact of events like the Black Plague on her storytelling. Our conversation also touches on the magic of synchronicities, the deeper “why” behind life's challenges, and how spiritual beliefs influence her creativity and daily life. Join me as Brownell and I reflect on what it truly means to live with an awakened heart. Takeaways Brownell's nomadic lifestyle shapes her writing journey. Writing across genres allows for a unique exploration of themes. Traffic angels play a significant role in guiding life decisions. Surrendering to intuition can lead to profound experiences. Reincarnation is a central theme in Brownell's work. Historical characters enrich her storytelling. The Black Plague serves as a backdrop for exploring human experiences. Synchronicities can guide us toward our true path. Understanding the 'why' behind challenges can lead to healing. Sharing stories of reincarnation opens minds to new possibilities.

This bonus episode is presented in collaboration with the Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund. ​Season of Sharing Fund gave some peace of mind to aspiring boxing champ Keoni Washington, who became parent and breadwinner to his brothers after their mother passed  away early in the pandemic. We meet him at the East Bay apartment he shares with three of his brothers.  Keoni received rental assistance from Season of Sharing Fund in 2023, which has allowed him and his brothers to stay in their home.

Here's what you need to know for today in the business of podcasting: YouTube's opt-in AI training feature, Italian company sends spurious invoices for podcast listings, and influencer agencies are dipping their toes into talent management. Here's something different: a podcast *campaign* to keep people home for the holidays! So many people are one crisis away from becoming unhoused, like Keoni Washington, a young boxer who lost his mom to COVID and had to provide for his brothers. The podcast Sharing Stories gives a window into their lives and how one-time rental assistance helped them through a tough stretch. They're encouraging other podcasts (like yours!) to spread the word about rental assistance this season -- like by running a “PSA” in place of an ad.

While reflecting on the process of vulnerability in creative work, I shared a story inspired by Bubba, a friend writing about his near-death experience and grappling with fear as he prepares to release his book. I recalled my own anxiety when handing my first manuscript to Steven Pressfield, my literary hero. Despite initial doubts, his encouragement, including offering to write the foreword, changed my perspective. This journey taught me the importance of trusting others with your work and paying forward the support and kindness we receive. I'll see you on the Rooftop. Scott Nobody is Coming to Save You - https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/scott-mann/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you/9781546008286/?lens=center-streetScottmann.com Join Rooftop Nation! Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scottmannYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYOQ7CDJ6uSaGvmfxYC_skQ  Website: https://www.rooftopleadership.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rooftop-leadership  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScottMannAuthor  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottmannauthor  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RooftopLeader
