It is from the past that he will draw his lessons in order to shape the present.[5:15] Destiny must be fulfilled. That is my chief doctrine.[6:05] Napoleon: A Concise Biography by David Bell (Founders #294)[9:25] To aim at world empire seemed to Napoleon a most natural thing.[10:00] To have lived without glory, without leaving a trace of one's existence, is not to have lived at all.[10:55] The greatest improvisation of the human mind is that which gives existence to the nonexistent.[11:45] The best way to understand a person is to listen to that person directly. —  Make Something Wonderful: Steve Jobs in his own words (Founders #299)[12:55] The great majority of men attend to what is necessary only when they feel a need for it—the precise time when it is too late.[16:10] The worst way to live according to Napoleon:When on rising from sleep a man does not know what to do with himself and drags his tedious existence from place to place; when, scanning his future, he sees nothing but dreadful monotony, one day resembling the next; when he asks himself, "Why do I exist?”—then, in my opinion, he is the most wretched of all.[17:45] Instead his (Steve Jobs) ego needs and personal drives led him to seek fulfillment by creating a legacy that would awe people. A dual legacy, actually: building innovative products and building a lasting company. He wanted to be in the pantheon with, indeed a notch above, people like Edwin Land, Bill Hewlett, and David Packard. — Steve Jobs: The Exclusive Biography by Walter Isaacson. (Founders #214)[19:15] He must know himself. Until then, all endeavors are in vain, all schemes collapse.[20:15] Napoleon on George Washington: Britain refused to acknowledge either him or the independence of his country; but his success obliged them to change their minds and acknowledge both. It is success which makes the great man.[21:15] Washington saw the conflict as a struggle for power in which the colonists, if victorious, destroyed British pretentions of superiority and won control over half of a continent. — Franklin & Washington: The Founding Partnershipby Edward Larson. (Founders #251)[23:15] If you do everything you will win: All great events hang by a single thread. The clever man takes advantage of everything, neglects nothing that may give him some added opportunity; the less clever man, by neglecting one thing, sometimes misses everything.[23:45] Warren Buffett: We are individually opportunity driven. — All I Want To Know Is Where I'm Going To Die So I'll Never Go There: Buffett & Munger – A Study in Simplicity and Uncommon, Common Sense by Peter Bevelin. (Founders #286)[24:15] Imagination rules the world.[25:00] Ambition is a violent and unthinking fever that ceases only when life ceases.[34:52] The corpse of an enemy always smells sweet.[35:30] Roots of Strategy: Book 1[38:45] Robert Caro profiled two men who seeds were not high (in a tournament) they were without many advantages. And to get all the way to the top you probably had to sacrifice everything to the effort. The meta lesson is if you are not willing to pay that price presume someone else will.If you want something like the presidency (or being a billionaire) you should presume there is someone out there who will devote all their time, money, relationships, sense of ethics, everything in sacrifice of that one goal. Of course that person would win that race.  — Invest Like The Best Sam Hinkie Find Your People [40:45] I do not want be roadkill on the modern-day Napoleon's path to glory.[43:15] The ancients had a great advantage over us in that their armies were not trailed by a second army of pen pushers.[44:05] A wasted life should be your greatest fear.[46:30] Make use of every possible opportunity of increasing your chances of victory.[48:55] Paul Graham on Be Hard to Kill:The way to make a startup recession-proof is to do exactly what you should do anyway: run it as cheaply as possible.For years I've been telling founders that the surest route to success is to be the cockroaches of the corporate world. The immediate cause of death in a startup is always running out of money. So the cheaper your company is to operate, the harder it is to kill. —  Paul Graham's essays (Founders #275)[51:30] Winning is the main thing. Keep the main thing, the main thing.----Subscribe to listen to Founders Premium — Subscribers can ask me questions directly and listen to Ask Me Anything (AMA) episodes.----Join my free email newsletter to get my top 10 highlights from every book ----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

The Trinity is: God, Jesus & Their Spoken Living Word (Christ)My Books: Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB The Trinity is not as impossible or as difficult to understand as ministers have made it out to be. The Trinity did not exist until Jesus was resurrected and EXALTED to the fullness of the Godhead. An earthly trinity existed in Genesis Chapters 39-50. The Pharaoh ruled Egypt by His Word. The Pharaoh then exalted Joseph to the 2nd highest position in Egypt and gave the everyday rule, except over the Pharaoh, to Joseph. The rule of Egypt was then: The Pharaoh, Joseph, and Their Word. The Trinity Rule now is God the Father, Jesus the Son, and their Word, Christ. For more details listen @KLRNRadio 6AM CST Sat #GPWF #Christian or anytime at rahardin.com (Radio)

Hello to you listening in Lorton, Virginia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.    As a keynote speaker, trainer, focus group facilitator, litigator, and storyteller I've had many opportunities over the decades to learn about and use the power of the pause. I've come to know that inviting the space of silence in a story - whether in a boardroom, classroom, or courtroom - creates an opportunity for speaker and audience to rest, live and breathe inside the story, to ponder, to reflect.Our job as speakers and storytellers is not to rocket along to the end, but to create the opportunity where we can sit together quietly in the beating heart of the story. To inhabit that world together. That's the "sorcery of stories" I work with.Story Prompt: Imagine yourself speaking to your audience. Imagine taking the time to pause between your thoughts. What's happens then? Write that story! Practical Tip: The magic of stories is also in the sharing. If you wish share your story with someone or something.   All that matters is you have a story.You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, follow, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

Cold Medina is a musician, poet, teacher and rapper. He is also Senior Communications Manager at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California. “ Music has this power - this vehicle for social change, to make waves, to have conversations that maybe people aren't having. And if they are having them, it's not really having a broad reach. But if you put it into the music, if you put it into that format it can travel a lot further. Once I saw the impact of that, the power of that […] I realized we can really take these political conversations and bring them to the masses in a way that maybe isn't necessarily - it's not that you are sneaking it in. It's like putting a little cheese on the broccoli so people can eat their vegetables and get that good nourishment. Nourish their mind, nourish their soul.” Medina explains the power that music has for social change and as a medium to communicate to the masses. In this episode he shares with us how his experiences growing up in a Mexican and Nicaragüense household shaped his early interest in art. His parents shared with him varied music genres such as soul, rock and latin hip hop. Later through highschool art classes and sharing time with friends and family who had an interest in music his passion was ignited. Cold Medina reminds us to show the love to our craft that it deserves. Listen and view Medinas work on his LinkTree and album Knights in Tropicana wherever you listen to music. Music for this episode is composed by Humans Win and podcast editing is by Bill Fires.

I take nothing with me. I tell all my secrets.Queen Sheba is the poet who founded Poetry vs. Hip-Hop Live! and its associated foundation to support LGBTQ women navigating a cancer diagnosis. We connected as guests in a delegation of social impact creators invited to Israel by its Foreign Ministry.I'm glad we did. She is doing inspiring work I may not ever have discovered otherwise.AI Summary* Sheba founded Poetry versus Hip Hop, a social impact platform that aims to bridge cultural gaps and dissolve stereotypes.* The platform disguises itself as a stage show, but the team also reaches out to people from different backgrounds and cultures.* Human connection is essential, especially since people often misjudge and misunderstand each other.* Her personal and professional journey in poetry and spoken word began with experiences of growing up in Detroit and being adopted by a white family.* Her work has evolved to cover a range of social and political issues.* She emphasizes the importance of offering solutions in her work and teaching her students to do the same.* Her superpower is taking risks with her writing and leaving everything on the paper or stage.* She advises allowing oneself time to grieve and be sad but to show up for life and take risks.* Start small and gradually build up to bigger risks, and find a supportive community to share work with.* Her books and albums can be found on Amazon, and information on her upcoming performances can be found on her website and social media.Poetry vs. Hip-Hop Live!“Poetry vs. Hip-Hop is a social impact platform disguised as a stage show,” Sheba says. The performances are merely the context for bringing people together from across sometimes antagonistic divides.She says:We purposely reach out to people that are from all walks of life, including but not limited to any race, color, creed, LGBTQIA community—anything at all—so that we can bridge these gaps and start conversations with people to help dissolve stereotypes, to help people understand different cultures, to maybe introduce them to cultures they have never seen or talked to before or worked with before.Demonstrating the impact, she shares the story of an event in Texas where two antagonistic hip-hop gang rivals were invited to perform. They were reluctant to even share the stage with one another.Sheba says:We had to sit down and say, “Hey, this is the perfect opportunity to say, ‘Hey, we're not the stereotype that you think that we are. We're not these gangsters. We're not we're not these thugs. We're writers and creatives and thought leaders and thinkers and social activists. Come over and meet my crew over here.'” We were able to dissolve that a little bit and get at least one from each crew to come.Sheba's work is an extension of who she is. “I'm adopted. I'm adopted by white people. I grew up in a major city. I present Black, but I'm biracial. I'm also part of the LGBTQIA community. So, I have all of these facets and umbrellas that are amazing.”“I get misread and misunderstood a lot of times,” in part as a result of the intersectionality of who she is. Appreciating that she is often misunderstood, she could see how others are treated similarly and wanted to help improve mutual understanding.In the on-stage “battle” between a hip-hop artist and a poet, Sheba requires the participants to hug “so that there is a human connection.”Sheba launched the foundation after her partner passed away in January 2022.In all her work, she builds on her superpower of taking risks with her poetry, in an effort to be authentic and share something meaningful.Superpowers for Good is a reader-supported publication.

She says:It's going to start off a little light and funny, but then I'm going to go left to social-political and say, “Well, now that I have a new booty, maybe I'll be considered black. Maybe I'll be less of [a target for] the microaggression to the mixed girl. Maybe I won't be called white anymore.” Because those are things that I struggle with; those are the things that come up in my life, in my adult life.“My superpower is taking a risk writing, writing to the edge, and then going over it,” Sheba says.She shared a story that highlights the good that can come from risk-taking in poetry and in life. It happens to explain how we met.I gave myself all of ‘22 to be depressed. Not that I'm still not processing the grief or the things that I went through, but I gave myself all of ‘22 to eat, sleep, not do anything, not do anything. If I had to go to work, I told myself I had to go to work. I went to work. If I had a gig, I would show up for the gig. If I had a responsibility to show up. But then I gave myself permission to immediately go home and get in bed.I literally spent—can you imagine the amazing summer in Atlanta, Georgia, in bed? July 4th in bed. Labor Day weekend in bed. Just not doing anything. So, I did not want to commit suicide. I was just tired, and I was exhausted. I told myself, “Do not commit suicide. Just keep showing up for your life. Just keep going. Just wake up and go to the next day and go to the next day.”Labor Day weekend, I was invited last minute to come perform at the mayor's LGBT opening reception for Black Pride weekend.Of course, I accepted the gig. I said, “You know what? Let's go all out.” I got a dress made. I had my friend design a dress for me. I was really honored to be a part of this. I show up, I perform “We Are the Women.” That was the only poem they commissioned me to do. I performed that in front of at least a thousand people.We were in City Hall. This has never been done before. We were in City Hall! A thousand people sitting and standing around from the LGBTQIA community. Elected officials, anybody you could think of, was there. I end the poem to a standing ovation.I was very excited that I decided to get up and take that gig that day.That is where I run into the Israeli consul general, and that is how I ended up meeting you.As we talked, I asked Sheba how to take risks safely. She says you can't. That's the point.As a creator, “You're going to be judged. You can't avoid it,” she says.“You only have one go. So, do what you're going to do every single day and do it big, bold,” Sheba says.“You only have one go. There is no putting it off,” she says, reiterating her point. “There's no putting it off, so take the risk.”Sheba shared a final note. Noting that she has lots of tattoos, she described one she has on her wrist that says, “Not Today.” She got it when she was working as a substitute teacher and saw an influx of middle-school suicides.“As adults, we know that we're just taller children,” she says. “So, I tell people, allow yourself time to grieve and be sad, but show up for your life. Because if you don't, you never know what could unfold positively.”If you follow Sheba's advice and example, you can make risk-taking in your creative work a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.SuperCrowd23Sheba has graciously agreed to perform at SuperCrowd23, which will be held on May 10 and 11.

In Acts 14:19 through 15:21, Pastor Rich Whitter teaches us to stay away from comfort and to run towards God. He reminds us that we should always give our all to the Lord, no matter what challenges we have faced or will face in the future. Pastor Rich emphasizes staying away from temporary sources of relief and instead seeking solace in the Lord. He explains that staying away from comfort can be difficult, but it is worth it in the end because we will have a deep relationship with God and understanding of His will for us. With God's guidance, we can live our best lives and achieve our highest potential. Through his passionate teaching, Pastor Rich encourages us to step out of our comfort zones and into the unknown, trusting in God's protection and power.

Once upon a time, psychologist James Hillman spoke of anima, the breath of life, the soul of the world, as something that had to be rescued by psychologists from theologians. Now, with pop-psychology vernacular inundating all aspects of life, it may be time for the breath of life to be rescued all over again. The New York Times recently released an article entitled 'The Problem with Letting Therapy Speak Invade Everything.' Philosopher Bayo Akomolafe writes of the need to 'decenter Western psychology.' It seems that psychology discourse has grown from a simple means of understanding and evaluating the forces at play in the psyche to be the medium through which much of modern discourse takes place, through which nearly everything is evaluated. If there is a value to ritual, it is increasingly articulated as a psychological value. The traditional yogic process has become deeply conflated with the psychological process. Traditional plant medicines are on the verge of a global psychologization. Psychology vernacular has been adopted en masse — and also weaponized en masse — so that simple disagreements in viewpoint or worldview are now called out as psychological pathologies. Activist movements have abandoned the spiritual vocabulary of Martin Luther King and Gandhi and the Dalai Lama in favor of outing narcissists and addressing collective traumas. Part spoken-word rant à la Gil Scott-Heron, part devotional ode to the breath of life, this episode is not an indictment of psychology or of therapeutic systems that benefit many people, but rather a glimpse into what goes missing as we increasingly evaluate everything through the psychological lens.  As always in the modern west, what gets sidelined first is... the animate itself. There are textures and depths to the way that traditional systems understand relationality with the larger animate world that get lost when seen through the modalities that have arisen out of individualism. And in traditional animate systems, we find visions of consciousness, animacy, and relationality that make us deeply rethink psychological visions of trauma, safety, agency, and alterity. Listen on a good sound system, at a time when you can devote your full attention.Support the show
