Welcome!

Robert Lee Camp was born into a relatively poor family in West Virginia in 1953. The first of seven children, he always had an interest in self-improvement which eventually lead to spirituality. In 1976 he moved full time into a yoga school in Pennsylvania and was a celibate and renunciate for five years and a resident leader and teacher for 10 years. It was there he was first exposed to the idea of astrology to which he took to immediately.Robert discovered the Science of the Cards in 1988 when a friend showed him a copy of Sacred Symbols of the Ancients. He was already doing astrological readings at the time and was stunned by the accuracy of what he read there. That book eventually lead him to his teacher, Arnie Lein, with whom he took numerous lessons in order to master this ancient system. Arnie Lein did not live long after Robert met him and died about a year later. This prompted Robert to dedicate himself to spreading this knowledge of the cards to the world, and write and publish his first book, which was entitled The Atlantean Oracle. He used his knowledge of computer programming to create all the yearly spreads that his book displayed, to make reading the cards much easier than the method taught by Mr. Lein.In 1992 Robert discovered The Order of the Magi, who were located in Paradise, CA. On his second trip to meet with them, he was told he was to be initiated into the Order due to his commitment to the cards and his past lives, in one of which he served the prophet Daniel. In May of that year, he was initiated as a Grand Master in the Order of the Magi on Terra. It was from this initiation that Robert realized the spiritual underpinnings of this amazing system and dedicated himself to making it known to the world.As Robert used and taught the Science of the Cards to others, he made many discoveries about the system, ones that brought out even more meaningful information that had never been taught. Much of what is common knowledge about the cards today is a result of his experience and research.While in Los Angeles, CA, Robert was able to perform readings for several Hollywood celebrities, but eventually decided to move up to Paradise to rewrite his book. With the support of his students, Robert published The Cards of Your Destiny, which became much more successful. He was discovered by accident by Sourcebooks, Inc. just as he was writing his Love Cards book and accepted a publishing deal for both books.After that he spent year teaching classes, developing software, and doing readings for others. Now, over 30 years later, he has sold hundreds of thousands of books and card science has become much more available and visible to the world. His books have been translated and published in Russian, Chinese, and other languages. He continues his work and is helping train students to become readers and teachers. Robert currently resides in Asheville, NC with his wife Lena Rachel and son, Radheya.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.

We have already responded to likely every single one of those objections throughout our research and we are not entertaining trolling in ignorance. Go review the evidence, because an 8-min. brief is not such. One should know better. We invite you to review the full position even with skepticism. No one has proved these conclusions wrong in over 8 years now since 2017 when our first video went viral.

Is there a formula for success? What do you do when "A new twist on something familiar" starts to feel overly simplistic? Enter editor Ivan Taurisano, editor at Abrams, who works from the opposite direction of most editors: he can think of a concept that's marketable, then put together the team to make it happen. We discuss: ***Collaborating with Licensing Partners: Ivan works closely with major brands like Disney, Netflix, and others to create books that resonate with current market trends. ***Data-Driven Decision Making: Unlike traditional editors who wait for manuscripts, Ivan actively seeks out market trends and creates content that meets those demands. ***Monitoring Bestseller Lists: Checking Amazon and New York Times bestseller lists to identify common themes and outliers. ***Examining BISAC Codes: Understanding how books are categorized to spot market trends. ***Creating Engaging and Humorous Content: Books should be fun and engaging for children, encouraging a love of reading. ***Finding the Sweet Spot: Balancing humor and content that resonates with children while being appropriate for parents. Ivan Taurisano was born in Rome, Italy, and moved to the United States almost ten years ago to pursue a children's book publishing career. The guiding principle of his work is that a child whose life is changed by a book will always be a step closer to becoming an adult who will change the world. Ivan's all-time favorite book is James and the Giant Peach, and his best friend is a chihuahua named Bilbo. Ivan has a BA in English and Creative Writing, an MA in Children's Literature, and an MFA in Writing for Children. He started his career at Sourcebooks as an Editorial Assistant, then moved on to become an Assistant Editor. His responsibilities included developing children's board books, picture books, and graphic novels, as well as acquiring board books and picture books. Ivan has worked with many successful series and brands, including How to Catch, Little Heroes Big Hearts, Sesame Street, Disney, Tokidoki, and Pokémon. Currently, Ivan lives in New York and works at Abrams as an Associate Editor on the Children's Entertainment Publishing and Content Development team. In this role, he focuses novelty books, board books, graphic novels, and select MG and YA titles. He is especially interested in stories with a strong commercial hook, crave-able content, compelling characters, and series potential. Board books and picture books: Ivan is interested in children's board books and picture books that are kid-centric, interactive, character-driven, and have series potential. He enjoys titles with a strong hook, fun read-alouds, great rhymes, bold and playful imaginative stories, books that break the fourth wall and invite reader participation, as well as seasonal stories such as Christmas and Halloween. MG: Ivan is interested in plot-driven, action-packed adventures with a strong commercial hook, compelling characters, magic, quests/competitions, and high stakes. YA: Ivan prefers strong commercial hooks, well-plotted, character-driven, atmospheric stories, and series potential. He loves fantasy, magic, and quests/competitions. He likes unique, morally grey characters, memorable villains, and propulsive, cinematic writing. Ivan is not the best fit for nonfiction, retellings, historical fiction, biographies, and novels in verse. *** Schedule a meeting with Ivan here: https://manuscriptacademy.com/faculty-members/ivan-taurisano

Welcome back to the Arete Coach Podcast, hosted by Severin Sorensen where we explore the art and science of executive coaching. In this episode 1179, we revisit a captivating episode recorded via Zoom on October 17th, 2022, featuring Dr. Vikki Brock, a Master Certified Coach (MCC), consultant, author of the seminal work "The Sourcebook of Coaching History," and mentor. Dr. Brock's extensive research and practical experience have made her a leading authority on the roots and evolution of coaching. Throughout the episode, Dr. Brock shares her remarkable journey from a successful 21-year career at Boeing to becoming a pioneering figure in the coaching world. Her passion for helping others led her to establish VB Coaching and Consulting in 1995, where she has since dedicated herself to advancing the field through her research, writing, and mentorship. Dr. Brock's groundbreaking work, "The Sourcebook of Coaching History," provides an in-depth exploration of the historical roots of coaching and the influence of pioneers from related fields. Her commitment to understanding the art and science of coaching, as well as her efforts to reawaken humanity through this powerful tool, perfectly align with the Arete Coach Podcast's mission to explore excellence in executive coaching. Her quote, "Coaching has an opportunity to reawaken our humanity," resonated with me and is the title for this episode. Vikki was closely involved with the early founders of modern coaching: Thomas Leonard and Laura Whitworth. Vikki was an early member of ICF (member #60) and since its creation in 1996 , she was one of the first coaches to receive an MCC from the ICF in 1998. She also was on faculty for the University of Texas at Dallas Coaching Certificate program, and taught for several coach training schools internationally. In this episode, we explore Vikki's journey into the coach field, her experiences in the growth of the coaching industry, and her passion for interviewing 170 coaching practitioners and scholars as the basis for her Sourcebook on Coaching History. More on the topic is available at AreteCoach.io. The Arete Coach Podcast seeks to explore the art and science of executive coaching. You can find out more about this podcast at aretecoach.io. This original episode was produced on 17 October 2022. It was released with a forward on 2 June 2024. Copyright © 2024 by Arete Coach™ LLC. All rights reserved.

Quentin Johnson reviews Creative Writer's Sourcebook by John Gillard published by Exisle.

Spawned is back (whoo!) with host Liz Gumbinner of Cool Mom Picks and Mom-101. I'm excited to get back to what I love most-- helping us get through the ups and downs of parenting together. Each week I'll be joined by compelling experts, best-selling authors, entrepreneurs, comedians, therapists, and even some big celebrities. I'm thrilled to kick things off with Jaclyn Lindsey, the remarkable founder and CEO of kindness.org. We're talking about what the science of kindness can teach us about raising kind humans. Jaclyn shares what we're doing right, what we're getting wrong, and some super-practical tips we can put to use right away. Jaclyn shares the difference between being nice and being kind, and lets us in on some common "acts of kindness" that...don't do much at all. Oops. Get ready to learn a ton. ---- Thanks to our sponsor Sourcebooks, publisher of I Am Money, the wonderful new Schoolhouse Rock-style book by Julia Cook, Garrett Gunderson, and Josh Cleland that's helping parents raise kids to have a healthy relationship with money for life. ----- Follow Spawned: Apple, Spotify, Amazon Join: Spawned Podcast FB Community Find Cool Mom Picks: Instagram, Facebook, Threads Find Liz Gumbinner: Instagram, Facebook, Substack, Threads Find Jaclyn Lindsey: Website, Facebook, Instagram, X Shownotes from today's episode: Cool Mom Pick Podcast Page Subscribe for cool picks right in your inbox: coolmompicks.com/subscribe/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Sex. Lies. Murder. Sarah Horowitz's The Red Widow: The Scandal that Shook Paris and the Woman Behind It All (Sourcebooks, 2022) is a book I literally couldn't put down. Drawing on extensive research into the world and life of its "leading lady," Marguerite ("Meg") Steinheil, Horowitz's account is captivating at every turn. With all of the appeal of the best true crime, the book brings historical depth and nuance to a scandalous and salacious narrative of bourgeois life in the French capital. From one compelling chapter to the next, The Red Widow situates Meg's story within the context of a French society in which gender, class, political and public spectacle shaped individual, family, and collective life in complex ways. In our conversation, Sarah and I discussed how she first stumbled upon Meg's story, the researching and writing of the book (completed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic!), as well as how and why she decided to write a book that would be accessible to a wider readership beyond academia. Part biography, part narrative of sexual and criminal intrigue, part interrogation of the values, expectations, and preoccupations of Belle Epoque culture, the book is both exciting and smart. I dare listeners not to find it all fascinating... Learn more about your ad choices.

Bigfoot is an instantly recognizable figure. Through the decades, this elusive primate has been featured in movies and books, on coffee mugs, beer koozies, car polish, and CBD oil. Which begs the question: what is it about Bigfoot that's caught hold of our imaginations? Journalist and self-diagnosed skeptic John O'Connor is fascinated by Sasquatch. In The Secret History of Bigfoot: Field Notes on a North American Monster (Sourcebooks, 2024), he embarks on a quest through the North American wilds in search of Bigfoot, its myth and meaning. Alongside an eccentric cast of characters, he explores the zany and secretive world of "cryptozoology," tracking Bigfoot through ancient folklore to Harry and the Hendersons, while examining the forces behind our ever-widening belief in the supernatural. As O'Connor treks through the shrouded forests of the Pacific Northwest, listens to firsthand accounts, and attends Bigfoot conventions, he's left wondering―what happens when the lines between myth and reality blur? Perfect for fans of Bill Bryson and Douglas Preston, and with sharp wit and an adventurous spirit, this heartfelt exploration of a cornerstone of American folklore unpacks why we believe in the things that we do, what that says about us, and how it shapes our world. John O'Connor was born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and attended the creative writing program at Columbia University, where he wrote his thesis on competitive eating. His writing has appeared in The Believer, Quarterly West and Gastronomica, among other publications. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers and articles on G. K. Chesterton and John Ford, he teaches research and writing at Rutgers and co-hosts the podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics, found here on the New Books Network and on X.

Matson Browning is a law enforcement officer who, along with his wife Tawni, spent years undercover infiltrating various hate groups to research and report on the rise of hate crimes and white supremacy in the United States. Together they wrote the book The Hate Next Door: Undercover Within the New Face of White Supremacy, which was published in July 2023.What others dismissed as fringe groups, Matson quickly recognised as large and interconnected organisations permeating every facet of American society, effectively spreading their dangerous and repugnant rhetoric at unprecedented speeds. Now, with the violent polarisation in our communities and an increase in hate crimes, the threat posed by these toxic organisations feels as acute as ever.Episode page here.

A conversation with Daphne Penna (University of Groningen) about Byzantine law, or (what it really was) the Greek-language phase of Roman law. We talk about the study of east Roman law, its experts (both then and now), and the interaction of Greek and Latin in legal texts. What did the law do and what do we learn from studying it? For an accessible introduction to the main sources, see the anthology edited by Daphne Penna and Roos Meijering, A Sourcebook on Byzantine Law: Illustrating Byzantine Law through the Sources (Brill 2022).

We are thrilled to welcome Sierra Godfrey, author of The Second Chance Hotel and A Very Typical Family, to the Member Lounge. Sierra, along with Mike Chen, built the first ManuscriptWishList.com, and her work as an author is charming, funny, romantic—and set on the gorgeous fictional Greek island of Asteri. There, her main character accidentally marries a handsome traveler—and, together, they accidentally inherit a hotel. What follows is a fun, escapist, sophisticated story of finding yourself even when it means giving up everything you've known. So we invited her for a Q&A with our members. Learn more about our Member Lounge here: https://manuscriptacademy.com/member-lounge We talk about: *Finding a second agent *Why the agent offer call is likely to only show you a small percentage of an agent's thoughts on your book *Whether they “pre pitch” before you're even working together *Is everything in Publishing really harder than it ever was? *How a story on the radio while sitting in traffic inspired the story *How to write likable, but significantly flawed, characters *How do you spot a red flag in an agent? Sierra says: Hello! I am the author of A Very Typical Family (Sourcebooks 2022) and The Second Chance Hotel (September 12, 2023) also from Sourcebooks.  I am extremely flattered that you have come to see who I am! I was born in Santa Cruz, California (which is where A Very Typical Family is set!) and have lived in many places, including Santorini, Greece, when I was a kid. By day I'm a technical writer and have also been a graphic designer ad a credentialed sports writer covering Spanish football for several online sports sites. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband and two sons, as well as a lot of animals that include a dog, two cats, and a turtle, which seems like a lot, and is.
