For the last 400 years when medical researchers conducted an autopsy they would throw this away as medical waste, not realizing it was actually a powerful connective organ...now Western science has finally caught up with Chinese Medicine in discovering the power of fascia. What is fascia in your body and how can learning about it benefit you? In this episode you'll learn: What fascia tissue is and how it connects every system in your body, allowing for strength and mobility. How your fascia actually communicates throughout your body. If one organ has an issue, it could be impacting another one. How your fascial system is your body's electrical system, conducting energy, a fact Western medicine is finally waking up to while Traditional Chinese Medicine has known it for thousands of years. How embryology is the process through which one cell becomes your whole body, from conception to birth, and your meridian lines form the blueprint. How to strengthen your fascia through moving, stretching, hydrating and breathing.

I used to think something was wrong with me. I'd sit there knowing a task mattered — knowing it mattered yesterday, last week, last month — and still couldn't get myself to move on it. For years I asked myself the wrong question: why isn't this getting done? The better question, it turns out, is what does my brain actually need to get started? That question changed everything, and it's where SPARK came from.Story. I'm a story person. I don't care that a bird exists — I care about the three hours I spent finding it. When I'm stuck on a task, I ask what's interesting about it, not what needs to get done. Curiosity creates momentum that obligation never will.Purpose. Abstract tasks mean nothing until there's a real person on the other side of them. Whether it's an IT ticket or a podcast episode that isn't coming together, I think about who actually needs this and why — and the task shifts even though the work doesn't.Adventure. Not everything can be an adventure (folding laundry is still folding laundry), but a lot of tasks can become small experiments instead of obligations. Possibility is motivating in a way duty never is.Reality. This one needs care, because it's easy to slide from reality into fear. Fear says you'll end up broken and miss out on life. Reality says every choice is a small vote for the future you're building. I'd rather feed the tiger that's still hiking at 80 than the one that isn't.Kickstart. Some days none of the above works. On those days, the only question that matters is: what's the smallest next possible step? Mow the front yard, not the whole lawn. Put on your shoes, not your whole workout. Starting is the hard part — once you start, momentum tends to take over.You don't need all five letters every time. Pick whichever one fits the moment, and let it do its job. Most of us aren't waking up already disciplined and on fire — and that's not a flaw, that's just being human.If you've been stuck on something, I'd love to know which letter of SPARK actually got you moving.

Fishers Parks and Recreation Director Marissa Deckert joins the LarryInFishers.com Podcast for a full preview of Spark Fishers 2026, the city's biggest community celebration of the year. This year's festival has been reimagined as a two-day event, set for Friday, June 26, and Saturday, June 27, in downtown Fishers. Deckert explains why the city moved away from a weeklong schedule and returned to a more concentrated “hometown community feel.” Among the highlights: the Big Ten Volleyball Tournament, coming to Fishers for the first time this November, will serve as Grand Marshal of the Spark Fishers parade. The tournament will also be part of the festival experience with volleyball-themed activations and photo opportunities. Friday night features a free concert by a Pink tribute band, complete with an aerial performance, followed by the popular Spark Fishers drone show. Saturday brings the street fair, car and art show, more than 100 vendors, seven entertainment stages, children's activities, the parade and a fireworks finale. Deckert also discusses what is new this year, including a silent disco, drum circles, a thrift-a-thon, local music school performances and expanded family activities. She also shares details on sensory-inclusive features, parking changes and shuttle service from Cross Point Plaza. Listen for everything you need to know before heading to Spark Fishers 2026.

Welcome back to another episode of the Royal Blue Podcast! Host Ian Croll is joined by Tony Scott and Gavin Buckland to tackle the biggest talking points surrounding Everton's upcoming summer transfer window. First up on the agenda is the future of Iliman Ndiaye. The winger has dropped a fresh exit hint following a recent interview where he made it clear he wants to play Champions League football in the near future. With Europe's elite competition out of reach for Everton right now, the lads debate the big dilemma facing the club: Do you fight to keep a key talent, or is it time to cash in? What is truly the best option for Everton this summer? Then, things get interesting. We hand Tony and Gavin a hypothetical £100 million war chest to completely revamp and improve the Everton squad. How far can £100m actually go in today's market? Who makes the ultimate priority list? Which positions need desperate reinforcing first? Get involved in the comments below! Would you keep or sell Ndiaye? And how would you spend a £100m budget this summer?

THIS IS A PREVIEW. FOR THE FULL EPISODE, GO TO Patreon.com/worstofall Mark Zuckerberg spent seven years and $80 billion attempting to build Horizon Worlds, a virtual reality "metaverse" that peaked at around 200,000 monthly users in October 2022. After years of decay, Horizon froze the creation of new worlds in VR this week, shifting the platform's focus back to mobile and marking the effective end of Meta's virtual reality ambitions. This week, the lads perform an autopsy on both Horizon Worlds and Mark Zuckerberg's dream of the metaverse more broadly, discovering how a platform built on the vision of a revolutionary gaming headset eventually gave way to a world solely inhabited by dozens of eight-year-olds screaming slurs in 360 degrees of immersive 3D.

On this episode of the Harvest Series, host Rose Claverie sits down with Shaka Senghor for a deeply personal conversation about survival, transformation, and imagination. After spending 19 years in prison, including years in solitary confinement, Shaka rebuilt his life through storytelling, philosophy, meditation, and writing. His journey raises difficult questions about justice, trauma, violence, and redemption.Shaka reflects on growing up in Detroit during the crack epidemic, surviving gun violence, and the emotional weight of incarceration in America. He speaks candidly about shame, masculinity, systemic racism, forgiveness, and what it means to heal without denying responsibility for the past. The discussion moves beyond prison reform into something much more human: how people rebuild themselves after devastation.The episode also explores creativity and ambition. Shaka explains why imagination became essential to his survival, how writing transformed his understanding of himself, and why he now wants to focus on fiction, film, and art rather than only being viewed through the lens of incarceration. This is a conversation about resilience, identity, and refusing to live a small life.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Shaka Senghor01:18 Imagination as survival02:08 Solitary confinement and mental freedom04:12 Reflections from Harvest05:27 Childhood abuse and running away06:14 Detroit, crack cocaine, and violence06:39 The shooting and prison sentence07:38 Trauma, PTSD, and accountability09:02 Receiving a 17-to-40-year sentence09:58 Mentors and transformation in prison11:00 Meditation, journaling, and mindfulness12:11 Malcolm X and self-education13:17 Discovering writing in prison15:13 Radical honesty and self-examination17:20 Ambition, imagination, and dreaming bigger19:57 How parole and release worked21:51 Spirituality and questioning God24:14 Forgiveness and healing with his mother27:20 Breaking cycles of violence30:03 What prisons ask him most often32:02 Rich and poor people are more alike than different35:19 Forgiveness as liberation37:48 Masculinity and modern culture39:27 Parenting, resilience, and overprotection41:12 Wanting to move beyond prison identity43:12 Returning to fiction and screenwriting45:03 Legacy and resilience47:25 Intentional endings and closure49:03 What writing taught him about himself52:20 Question for the next Harvest guest52:58 Final reflectionsYou can follow us on Instagram at @HarvestSeries or @rose.claverie for updates.Watch our podcast episodes and speaker sessions on YouTube: Harvest Series.Credits:Sound editing by: @lesbellesfrequencesProducer in Kaplankaya: Joel Moriasi & teamMusic by: ChambordThis season of the Harvest Series podcast is made possible by Spark of Light.

In this bonus episode, Katy Cowan and Rob Draper swap the big career questions for something a lot more daft – a quickfire ramble through nostalgia, confessions and very questionable claims to greatness. Rob shares his most controversial creative opinion (talking about it isn't doing it), the smallest thing that improves his work day, and the theme tune his creative style would have – an old radio dial flicking between fast and slow, classic and modern, all in the name of contrast. He reveals the skills he'd steal overnight, from projection mapping to portraiture, and the daily portrait challenge he's quietly set himself. Along the way, the pair tumble down a glorious rabbit hole of childhood memories: Number 73 and Saturday morning telly, the first wave of electro and hip-hop, breakdancing in Worcester, and an eleven-year-old Rob's all-consuming dream of working for Nike. Katy, meanwhile, makes the case for stolen marzipan, declares herself the world's greatest hip-hop dancer (white wine permitting), and tries – repeatedly, desperately – to find a single other human being who gets the "fuzzy nose" feeling. Warm, silly and gloriously off-piste, it's the perfect send-off for the season, and a reminder that the best creative conversations are the ones that refuse to stay serious.

Had Ada Palmer back on – this time to talk about Machiavelli, perhaps the most misunderstood thinker of all time.Machiavelli cut his teeth as a high-level diplomat for Florence, a position from which he got to closely observe the most important rulers in Europe at the time, including the ones who were on the path to destroying his dearly beloved Florence.In 1513 the Medici retook control of Florence and, wrongly suspecting Machiavelli of participating in a coup attempt, fired, tortured, and exiled him.Machiavelli could have left exile and worked for any number of different principalities that would have been eager to make use of his talents.Instead, he decided to rot in the countryside and compile his career's lessons about power, politics, and human nature into a book he dedicated to the very man whose new regime had tortured and exiled him, Lorenzo di Piero de' Medici.But at least the Medici were in a position to use his insights to defend Florence. Machiavelli the patriot did not want any other hands to touch these books, because those hands, armed further with these lessons, might pose an existential danger to Florence.The closest modern analogy, at least as Machiavelli would have seen it, would be Szilard's letter warning FDR about the possibility of a nuclear fission bomb.What were those insights? And how were they inspired by Machiavelli's dangerous diplomatic missions all across Europe, and his extensive reading of antiquity? Watch this episode with Ada Palmer to find out!By the way, Ada is launching a new podcast which I'm very excited about. The first season will be about Machiavelli - a perfect way to dive deeper into the topics we discussed in this episode.

The memes are pretty funny, but I wanted to see what their interviews were actually like. So I had Ricson, one of Jane Street's ML researchers, walk me through a retired puzzle: he gave me an image dataset where 50% of the files had been corrupted – I had to figure out how to recover them.

She told investors $440M. The real number was $15.7M. This week: the CaaStle fraud, Walmart's Subway play, and Shopify's $5B bet.In this episode:Walmart + Subway. Walmart folded Subway into its delivery app, with express orders coming off the Subway counters already sitting inside its stores. Live now in six states (Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas), with roughly 1,400 locations targeted by end of summer. Flat delivery fee, in-store menu pricing, 30 minutes or less. It rides on the Spark drivers and drones Walmart is already paying for, pointed straight at Uber Eats and DoorDash.The CaaStle fraud. CaaStle told investors it booked $440 million in net revenue for fiscal 2023. The real figure was $15.7 million. Founder and CEO Christine Hunsicker confessed to doctoring the financials on a video call with her board in December 2024, then kept her job for three more months while investors heard nothing. She controlled that board. Co-founder Jaswinder Pal "JP" Singh sold $6 million in stock back to the company around the time investors started asking questions. Hunsicker pleaded guilty to securities fraud in March, admitting she defrauded investors of $283 million, and she's scheduled for sentencing this summer.Apple rents the brains. At WWDC on June 8, Apple introduced Siri AI: a rebuild that reads what's on your screen, pulls context from your messages and email, and takes actions across apps. The part Apple said less about is who's powering it. Reporting puts Apple at more than $1 billion a year to Google for a custom Gemini model running Siri's cloud features. The China rollout waits on regulators. For a company that has spent decades insisting it owns its entire stack, renting the model from a rival is the real headline. Tim Cook hands the company to John Ternus in September.Shopify's $5 billion vote. Shopify added $3 billion to its repurchase program on June 2, taking total authorization to $5 billion. Buybacks usually get read as "we've run out of ideas." Then Q1 revenue rose 34% to $3.2 billion and merchants cleared $100 billion in GMV for the second quarter in a row. Decide for yourself which signal you believe.

Knicks fans are still trying to make sense of a comeback that turned disbelief into pure euphoria. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber take calls from emotional fans who watched the night swing from hopeless to historic, including one caller who admits he fell asleep before being woken up for the stunning finish. The conversation digs into Mike Brown's coaching, the unexpected impact of the Brunson and Jose Alvarado backcourt, and why OG Anunoby's role keeps growing in importance.
