The Crazy Tale of Quicksilver Messenger Service is an audio documentary series that was crafted to act as the ultimate assemblage of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth. This 8-episode series is built around a 2 1/2 hour interview with The Patti Smith Group's Lenny Kaye, and the main event: an unprecedentedly detailed five-hour interview with last man standing David Freiberg, a very special experience that—regardless of how you feel about the group—will absolutely blow your mind with its unique twists and turns. There's in-depth commentary on their history, a slew of endlessly wild stories, and star ratings for every release. Prepare yourselves: Lenny Kaye's the wind up, and David Freiberg is very much the pitch.  This is Part 5 of the series—and part 2 of my discussion with David—in which we cover the time period during which Quicksilver Messenger Service recorded their classic self-titled debut album. Here are just a few of the many things that David discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The group's collective reluctance toward signing with a label, after all their friends' bands had hit the big time; The massive volume of local gigs they played in the Bay Area; The band's first release as a 4-piece outfit, on the original soundtrack album for the film Revolution; The unintended positive consequence for the band when Jim Murray split after Monterey; The life-changing LSD experience that begat David's “The Fool”; And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off Quicksilver Messenger Service.   CONNECT Join our Soldiers of Sound Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1839109176272153 Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/discograffiti Podfollow: ⁠⁠https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyaQCdvDelj5EiKj6IRLhw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/discograffitipod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Discograffiti/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Discograffiti Order the Digital version of the METAL MACHINE MUZAK 2xLP (feat.

Most retreat leaders believe the answer to growing their business is another strategy.   Another funnel. Another marketing tactic. Another social media platform.   But what if the greatest opportunity isn't changing what you do...it's changing the energy you bring to everything you do?   In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail sits down with Michelle Villalobos, business strategist, retreat leader, and creator of the Business Breakthrough Program, to discuss why energy precedes outcomes and how your internal alignment directly impacts your retreat business.   Michelle has facilitated more than 150 retreats and helped thousands of entrepreneurs create businesses built around freedom, recurring revenue, and meaningful impact. Together, Shannon and Michelle explore why retreat leaders often focus on external strategies while overlooking the beliefs, stories, and mindset quietly shaping every decision they make.   They also discuss what it means to become Energy Rich, why guests can feel the difference between confidence and scarcity, and how limiting beliefs influence everything from pricing to marketing to enrollment.   If you've been working harder but not seeing the results you expected, this conversation may completely change how you think about building a profitable retreat business.   In This Episode You'll Learn Why energy always comes before strategy What it means to become Energy Rich How limiting beliefs affect retreat pricing Why guests feel your confidence before they hear your pitch How alignment creates stronger leadership and better retreats The connection between authentic leadership and profitable retreats How to build a retreat business rooted in purpose instead of fear Whether you're planning your first retreat or you've been leading transformational experiences for years, this episode will help you lead from a place of greater confidence, clarity, and authenticity.   What You'll Learn How to build a profitable retreat business How to create recurring revenue with retreats Why mindset impacts retreat marketing and sales How authentic leadership attracts ideal retreat guests Why energy influences retreat enrollment How to overcome limiting beliefs around pricing What it means to become an Energy Rich entrepreneur Key Takeaways Strategy Can't Outperform MisalignmentThe best marketing strategy in the world won't compensate for fear, doubt, or scarcity. Guests feel your energy before they ever buy your retreat. Energy Rich Doesn't Mean High Energy Michelle explains that true leadership comes from alignment, not constant hustle. Being calm, grounded, and authentic creates far more influence than trying to do more.   Your Beliefs Shape Your Business The stories you tell yourself about money, worth, pricing, and success quietly influence every business decision you make.   Retreat Leaders Sell More Than Retreats People invest in the person leading the experience. Confidence, authenticity, and clarity create trust long before someone clicks "Book Now."   Freedom Is Built Intentionally Retreats can become a powerful recurring revenue stream when they're built from alignment rather than obligation.   About Michelle Villalobos Michelle Villalobos, MBA, CSP®, is a business strategist, retreat leader, and transformational leadership expert who has spent nearly two decades helping coaches, consultants, speakers, and thought leaders build scalable businesses through transformational experiences.   She has designed and facilitated more than 150 multi-day retreats, consulted on hundreds more, and is the creator of Business Breakthrough, an incubator that helps entrepreneurs build aligned business models with recurring revenue and greater freedom.   Through her Retreats to Riches training and more than 800 YouTube videos, Michelle teaches entrepreneurs how to design, market, fill, and lead retreats that create unforgettable experiences while generating sustainable income.   Learn more: https://superstaractivator.com   Free Gift for Listeners: The Retreats to Riches Roadmap & Quick Start Guide and Big Back End Revenue Projections Calculator www.superstargifts.com   The Retreat Leaders Podcast Resources and Links: Join our Mastermind in Austin!

A Special Gift (00:01:25) Michelle presents Shannon with a beautifully illustrated book she created, titled "But I Want to Fly," an adventure book for dreamers. Who Are You at Your Core? (00:03:02) Michelle discusses her identity beyond professional roles, defining herself as a creator, contributor, teacher, and philosopher at her core. Energy Precedes Outcome (00:04:14) Michelle explains her core concept: aligning what you do with who you are naturally elevates your energy and leads to better outcomes. Becoming Energy Rich (00:04:44) The concept of being "energy rich" is explored, involving alignment with your purpose and cultivating the feelings you want to experience. Authenticity in Leadership (00:08:26) Shannon shares a personal story about finding her authentic voice while teaching, emphasizing the importance of being genuine as a leader. The Power of "Both, And" (00:10:45) The discussion shifts to embracing duality, recognizing that two opposing ideas, like holding healing space and making money, can coexist. Reframing Your Past (00:12:09) Michelle shares a personal story of betrayal, illustrating how reframing a painful past can be an empowering catalyst for awakening and growth. Can You Lead from an Open Wound? (00:15:52) The speakers discuss whether you can lead a successful retreat without having done the inner work, concluding you must embody your teachings. The Danger of Masking (00:18:18) The conversation covers the problem of pretending to be healed, which energetically teaches others to mask their own pain instead of healing. Congruency and Trust (00:19:24) Using horses as an example, Shannon explains that congruency—showing up as you are, even if not okay—is key to building trust. The Power of Community (00:21:51) Michelle explains that while she works one-on-one with clients, the biggest transformations happen in community and being witnessed by others. From Strategy to Energy (00:23:14) Michelle describes how her business retreats evolved from focusing on strategy to incorporating inner work, breathwork, and other healing modalities. Belief Over Strategy (00:24:32) Shannon emphasizes that no marketing strategy can overcome a leader's lack of belief in their own retreat; energy comes first. Detaching from the Outcome (00:25:42) The importance of surrendering the outcome while remaining fully committed to the process is discussed as a key to success. Limiting Beliefs and Pricing (00:30:07) The conversation explores how limiting beliefs, especially for women, impact pricing, with most leaders tending to undercharge for their services. The Retreat Business Model (00:30:43) Michelle shares her model of using a retreat as a breakthrough experience that opens the door to long-term, recurring revenue programs. Standing in Your Price (00:33:23) The concept of "standing in your price" is explored, highlighting the need for congruence and genuine belief in the value offered. The Promise of Your Retreat (00:38:14) A retreat's promise elevates it from a generic getaway, allowing for a higher price point and attracting the right participants. Michelle's Upcoming Work (00:39:08) Michelle shares details about her Business Breakthrough Intensive, which helps thought leaders build community-based programs with recurring revenue. A Gift for Listeners (00:40:13) Michelle offers a free retreat projections spreadsheet to help leaders plan their numbers, from pricing and attendance to conversion rates. The Story Behind the Book (00:40:54) Michelle shares the inspiring story of how her book, "But I Want to Fly," came to her in a dream.

What happens when a barber from Florida - turned streetwear entrepreneur - turned content creator picks up a golf club for the first time in 20 years during a global pandemic? He builds one of the most dynamic creative agencies in golf. Osi Umunna, CEO and Founder of The Hole 9, joins host Colin Weston for a raw, unfiltered conversation about how he's bridging the lifestyle and cultural gap between golf brands and the audiences they've been missing for decades. From the Good Good controversy that's shaking the industry to LeBron James' game-changing entry into golf media to the black-owned brands quietly rewriting golf's cultural playbook, this episode delivers the kind of perspective that only comes from someone who's lived on both sides of the fence and decided to build a bridge instead. Whether you're a brand executive wondering how to reach new audiences, a creator trying to find your lane, or just someone who's ever felt like golf "wasn't for you," this conversation will change how you see the game's future. Osi doesn't just talk about the new guard of golf, he's actively building it. Key Takeaways you'll discover: 1. The future of golf belongs to those who build bridges, not walls. Osi explains why brands that only speak to one audience will eventually stall, and how The Hole 9 helps companies scale by bringing in fresh perspectives, tastemakers, and cultural credibility that simply can't be manufactured in a boardroom. 2. The Good Good controversy is a teachable moment about the cost of missing voices. Osi breaks down what went wrong, why Callaway shares responsibility, and how the fallout could have been avoided if more diverse perspectives had been in the room before the content went live. It's a cautionary tale every brand in the creator economy needs to hear. 3. Vulnerability is golf's secret weapon for inclusion. From LeBron shanking shots on camera to Steph Curry's and Michael Jordan's legendary competitive fire, Osi explains why showing the struggle, not just the highlight reel is exactly what makes golf relatable and welcoming to newcomers.

What if the parts of your story you'd rather hide are the very places where Jesus wants to meet you, heal you, and bring hope to someone else?The tables are turned on this special episode of The Collide Podcast! Former and current Collide staff members Kenna Warren, Kristen Behrends, and Michelle Holladay take over the microphones to interview Willow Weston about the deeply personal story behind her book, Collide: Running Into Healing When Life Hands You Hurt. Willow shares how hiding in a closet from her mom became a pivotal moment that exposed wounds she still needed to heal, how God gave her the words “wounded collision,” and why she believes He asked her to live this message for years before finally writing it. Together, they talk about the courage required to tell the truth about our stories, why healing requires naming our pain, taking small steps of obedience toward a God-given dream, and what Willow has learned after years of watching Jesus meet women in the messiest parts of their lives. Ultimately, Willow wants every woman to know this: you are worthy of healing, Jesus can meet you in your pain, and He can even purpose your story to bring healing and hope to others. Meet Willow WestonWillow Weston is the founder and executive director of Collide, host of The Collide Podcast, and author of Collide. For years, Willow has invited women to get honest about their pain, collide with Jesus in the midst of it, and experience the healing and transformation only He can bring.Her own story is at the heart of that message. What began as a deeply personal journey toward healing eventually grew into a ministry where Willow has watched women bring everything from broken relationships and self-harm to grief and feelings of worthlessness into the light and encounter Jesus there. Her book brings together Willow's childhood experiences, stories of Jesus, and years of witnessing God bring transformation to women's real lives. Key TakeawaysWhen you're tempted to minimize your pain: Give yourself permission to be honest about it. Pain doesn't have to be catastrophic to need healing; even small hurts can accumulate when they're continually ignored. When telling your story feels scary: Remember that honesty can open the door for someone else to be honest too. Willow wrestled for years with how to tell the truth about her childhood without dishonoring the people she loved, but ultimately chose to share because she believes God can use her story to help others find healing. When you want to avoid the hardest parts of your story: Healing requires naming the pain. Writing and repeatedly editing painful memories was exhausting for Willow, but revisiting those places also brought new healing. When God's timing feels incredibly slow: He may be asking you to live the story before you tell it. Willow originally thought she would write this book years ago, but now recognizes that the years of ministry gave her stories and experiences she never could have written about otherwise. When you feel too messy for God: Invite Him into the mess. Willow says the Jesus she has come to know doesn't wait for us to get everything together—He meets us in our pain, wounds, and the chapters we never wanted in our stories. When your pain tells you something is wrong with you: Let Jesus tell you what is true. Pain may whisper that you aren't loved, chosen, or worthy, but Jesus wants to set the record straight.

Send us Fan MailA strong year-end fundraising strategy for nonprofits starts long before December—and before you write the first appeal. Melaina Chromy, Sr. Brand Marketing Manager at Bloomerang, explains how nonprofit teams can improve the donor journey, reduce giving friction, coordinate campaign channels, and prepare now for stronger year-end results.One of the first assignments is surprisingly simple: make a donation to your own organization!How many clicks does it take? Is the form easy to use on a phone? Does the donor immediately understand what their gift will accomplish? Can someone move naturally from a direct-mail appeal or email to the online giving page?  As Melaina explains, “You have more flexibility when you don't cram things down to the wire.”That means September is the time to establish the campaign goal, choose the central story, identify the audiences and channels, test the giving process, and get vendors such as printers and mail services on the calendar. October becomes production and refinement time rather than panic time.The conversation also challenges nonprofits to stop separating “traditional” and “digital” donors. Direct mail can lead directly to an online form through a QR code. Digital wallets matter beyond Gen Z. And donors increasingly expect giving to work with the same ease they experience when paying for everything else online.Then comes the part many organizations overlook: what happens after December 31?Melaina cites first-time donor retention at roughly 25% . . .a sobering reminder that acquisition without a follow-up strategy creates an expensive revolving door! Prompt thanks, impact reporting, and a clear first-time donor communication plan should therefore be designed before the year-end campaign even launches.GivingTuesday also does not need to become an entirely separate production. Melaina recommends using it as another opportunity to reinforce the same year-end story and campaign goal.Key Takeaways:Audit the complete giving journey before launching the campaign.Reduce clicks, mobile friction, and uncertainty on donation pages. Use previous campaign data to determine where donors actually respond.Build one cohesive story across mail, email, social, QR codes, and donation forms.Treat GivingTuesday as a reinforcement point rather than an automatic second campaign.Plan first-time donor thanks, retention, and impact reporting before December.00:00:00 Year-End Fundraising Starts Now 00:02:21 Inside Bloomerang's Giving Platform 00:05:43 Is It Too Late to Prepare? 00:06:16 Test Your Own Donation Experience 00:08:38 Connecting Direct Mail and Digital Giving 00:10:38 Find the Story Behind the Appeal 00:13:18 Reflecting Donor Identity in Fundraising 00:15:04 Let Campaign Data Choose Your Channels 00:19:04 The September-to-November Campaign Timeline 00:21:05 Campaign Cohesion Builds Donor Trust 00:22:22 Rethinking GivingTuesday 00:23:53 The 25% First-Time Donor Retention Problem 00:27:51 Can Your Technology Measure Retention? #NonprofitFundraising #YearEndFundraising #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

What if one of the most beloved songs in American music is also a remarkably precise psychological portrait of childhood shame? For the closing chapter of The Songs That Made Us, Gunter turns to Dolly Parton's deeply personal “Coat of Many Colors”—a song born from poverty, childhood humiliation, a mother's love and one little girl's attempt to understand why something she treasured became a reason for others to ridicule her.At its heart is a powerful psychological distinction:The coat wasn't what created the shame. The schoolyard did.Through Dolly's childhood story, Gunter explores the social psychology of humiliation, attachment, memory and what happens when children begin seeing themselves through the judgments of others.But Dolly's story contains something else.Before she ever enters that schoolyard, her mother gives the coat meaning.Through storytelling, love and reassurance, something created from material deprivation becomes an object of pride.Psychologically, that act resembles reappraisal and co-regulation—a parent helping a child interpret an experience in a way that can protect their developing sense of self.It doesn't prevent the humiliation that follows.But it gives Dolly another story about who she is.The episode examines the important separation between poverty and shame. Material deprivation is one experience. Being taught by other people that your circumstances make you less worthy is another.And childhood shame can linger precisely because it is social. We learn something about ourselves by watching how other people respond to us.Yet Coat of Many Colors ultimately demonstrates another extraordinary human ability:We can retell the story.Dolly transformed an experience of childhood humiliation into music. The music became recognition for millions of people. And a deeply personal memory became part of a much larger cultural legacy. Perhaps that is one reason the song has endured.It doesn't simply tell us what happened to Dolly Parton. It gives language to something many people have lived themselves.Key TopicsDolly Parton and the story behind Coat of Many ColorsChildhood poverty, shame and humiliationWhy deprivation and shame are different psychological injuriesAttachment and the protective role of parental reassuranceReappraisal and co-regulationThe social psychology of the schoolyardThe “looking-glass self” and how children internalize others' judgmentsChildhood experiences and adult identityStorytelling as a way of transforming painful memoriesHow personal experience becomes cultural legacyWhy recognition gives certain songs extraordinary staying powerChapter HighlightsIntroduction: Coat of Many Colors and Its SignificanceThe Song's History and Original RecordingDolly Parton's Childhood and the Story Behind the CoatChildhood Shame, Attachment and IdentityHumiliation and the Looking-Glass SelfReappraisal, Co-Regulation and Emotional ResilienceTransforming Personal Stories into Cultural LegacyWhy Coat of Many Colors Continues to EndureObjects, Shame and Changing the NarrativeClosing Reflections and Mental HealthGratitudeWe want to extend a huge thank you to our listeners in Denver for bringing Colorado up to #10 on the Top 10 USA listeners list.

Equipping parents and grandparents by helping decode what is happening in today's youth culture.Today's Christian families are facing crises in their homes. Parents are taking kids to church and raising them with Biblical values, yet ‘losing' their kids to the world. I've worked with families for 40 years and did my doctoral work on the topic. Because of the crisis, I felt compelled to write a resource to help families. Writer's tips. 1.     Do adequate research for your topic and cite sources. I recommend using a variety of sources to build credibility. 2.     Use Scrivener as a platform to organize, whether writing fiction or non-fiction. This is also where you can store research material, notes, graphics, etc. 3.     Write down all of your random ideas and observations. Not every thought or idea is appropriate for a book, but might be a great option for a shorter piece such as a devotion, article, or short story.  What Listeners Will Gain - As writers, we are also parents, grandparents, or extended family members. We all care about what is happening in youth culture and how it affects Christian families. This book offers the understanding, action steps, and resources you need to strengthen the family unit and protect youth from the societal woes they face.You can find out more about Dr. Mel in our show notes.SOCIAL LINKS:Website: https://www.drmeltavares.com/Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/mel.j.tavares/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmeltavares/Amazon Author: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B089T8FFR1?ingress=0&visitId=ca74d834-d79c-480c-9570-98bdeb7ec229&ccs_id=a2955576-3d4d-45a7-aa62-392f042ae2f7Visit Your Best Writing Life website.Join our Facebook group, Your Best Writing LifeYour host - Linda Goldfarb#4 Podcast 2026 "Million Podcasts Top 30 Christian Writers Podcasts"#1 Podcast 2024 "Top 50+ Must-Have Tools and Resources for Christian Writers.Awarded the Spark Media 2023 Fan Favorites Best Solo PodcastAwarded the Spark Media 2022 Most Binge-Worthy Podcast

Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic joins us to talk about his new book, "12 As One: Mike Macdonald, the Seattle Seahawks, and the Making of a Super Bowl Champion." Mike talks about how writing a book gave him a different kind of avenue to report some behind the scenes information compared to daily beat coverage. He explains how the "12 As One" mantra runs through the whole roster, and the throughline of selflessness he found from Ernest Jones's story to the other vets who helped carry the message. We talk about Macdonald's approach worked in Seattle when a similar first-time-coach jump didn't for Jerod Mayo in New England, and the "high-powered" standard Julian Love set for the defense.  Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

The Queen of country music is gone. Dolly Parton passed away at 80, and I couldn't let the week end without honoring her, because her life holds a lesson every artist and dreamer needs to hear. Most people know "I Will Always Love You" as a love song, but Dolly wrote it as a goodbye to the man who gave her one of her biggest breaks. When Elvis later came calling and his manager demanded half the publishing rights, she said no. It broke her heart, but she wouldn't surrender what God had given her, and years later Whitney Houston turned that same song into one of the greatest vocal performances in history. Dirt poor in the Smoky Mountains, nearly 60 years married to one man, faithful to the end. Her story is a powerful reminder to steward the gift He's placed in your hands. Rest in peace, Dolly. We will always love you.

The Crazy Tale of Quicksilver Messenger Service is an audio documentary series that was crafted to act as the ultimate assemblage of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth. This 8-episode series is built around a 2 1/2 hour interview with The Patti Smith Group's Lenny Kaye, and the main event: an unprecedentedly detailed five-hour interview with last man standing David Freiberg, a very special experience that—regardless of how you feel about the group—will absolutely blow your mind with its unique twists and turns. There's in-depth commentary on their history, a slew of endlessly wild stories, and star ratings for every release. Prepare yourselves: Lenny Kaye's the wind up, and David Freiberg is very much the pitch.  This is Part 3 of the series, a deep-dive into the early days of Dino Valenti, a fascinating chronology of the events that led to his initial vision for Quicksilver Messenger Service. In addition, we examine his one and only 1968 solo album. Here are just a few of the many things discussed in this episode of Discograffiti: Dino's carny background, and his confusing slew of noms de plumes; His early relationship with a certain legendary Andy Warhol superstar, about whom his song “Let's Get Together” may have been written; An overview of Dino Valenti's Lost Recordings compilation; How Dino funded the legal representation for his marijuana bust; The second legendary song with which Dino became entangled, and how he got his hands on it; The incredible story behind how Dino's record label intentionally sought revenge against him; Carol Kaye's least favorite studio date of all time…with Dino Valenti; And some behind-the-scenes tales that shed badly needed light on Dino's one-of-a-kind solo record.

The Story Behind CJP's Cancellation of 5th Sept March | Cries of Betrayal and Dismay All Around

It's official! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have welcomed a dog into their family.

Join our WhatsApp group for weekly exclusive content: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FEgoaCOQoyU2VX49SwA8Aw?s=cl&p=a&ilr=4   This 2-part series discovers the dramatic life of Rabbi Yosef Karo, which was lived far beyond the pages of his famous legal code, the Shulchan Aruch.   Born into the upheaval of the 1492 Spanish Expulsion, he fled across borders from Lisbon to Cairo to Greece and eventually to Eretz Yisrael and was instructed by a spiritual maggid. But the 16th century of mass migrations threatened to fracture Jewish tradition into "countless Torahs". So he embarked on a monumental mission to write a master legal framework and unite the diaspora, which fundamentally reshaped our lives.   His story included an attempt to hasten the Messianic era, that led to him being banned from the main synagogue of Tzfas and a son born to him in his old age.

What did you think of this episode?Have you discovered hidden gifts during times of grieving? Raewyn Elsegood shares her story behind the story and offers tips to help you excel as a writer. Don't go anywhere. Your Best Writing Life begins right now.Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. I'm your host, Linda Goldfarb. Each week, I bring tips and strategies from writing and publishing industry experts to help you excel in your craft. It's great to have you listening in. During this episode, we experience The Story Behind 21 Gifts: A Sacred Dance Through Grief and Healing.Today's guest, Raewyn Elsegood, is an Australian chaplain, speaker, and award-winning author of 21 Gifts: A Sacred Dance Through Grief and Healing. Drawing on more than 30 years in ministry and a decade of chaplaincy, she equips people to walk compassionately beside those experiencing grief, helping them discover hope, faith, and purpose even in life's deepest losses.Raewyn, welcome to Your Best Writing Life!We all want to know the story behind 21 Gifts – give us some background1. God wrote a different book than I intended.I thought I was writing and journaling about surviving my daughter's death. Instead, God revealed that He was writing a book about discovering His gifts hidden within grief. The manuscript became as much my healing journey as it did a book for others. 2. Writing became an act of discipleship.Every chapter required me to sit with God before I could write for anyone else. Sometimes writing wasn't about producing words—it was about letting God reshape my heart first.3. My greatest wound became my greatest ministry.Losing Amy changed every part of my life and transformed my chaplaincy. The book helped me realize that God was inviting me to move from telling my story to equipping others to walk compassionately alongside grieving people.4. Publication wasn't the finish line.Publishing 21 Gifts opened unexpected doors to media, including teaching at conferences, YouTube, radio, podcasts, speaking engagements, disaster recovery chaplaincy, and a grief support program. The book is becoming the beginning of a much larger ministry.5. God is still rewriting the author.One conversation with a literary agent after a writers' conference completely changed the direction of my next book. Their feedback helped me realize God wasn't simply calling me to tell my story—He was calling me to teach from my experience as a chaplain. That shift is beautifully shaping my next book project, The Chaplain's Chair. Writer's tips. 1. Write from transformation, not simply information.Readers remember books that changed the author before they changed the audience.2.

This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence. It is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised. On November 6, 1936, beautiful Verna Garr Taylor left for a day trip with her fiancé, former Lieutenant Governor Henry Denhardt. By day's end, she would be lying in a ditch off Kentucky's Highway 22 with a single bullet through her chest. Her fiancé immediately declared it a suicide. To the people investigating the case, it looked like murder. This is just the beginning of the fascinating double-murder case detailed in the book “Dark Highway” by Ann D'Angelo… a case so sensational, it made front-page news across the nation for nearly a year. In this week's episode, we walk you through the circumstances leading up to Verna's death along that dark highway, as well as the equally shocking events that followed. You won't want to miss this episode! Not only will you be drawn into the intriguing Taylor/Denhardt murder case, but it'll also prepare you for our fascinating interview with author Ann D'Angelo that will air next week.

What happens to human intelligence in a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence? In this special conversation, Dr. JC Doornick sits down with world-renowned brain coach and bestselling author Jim Kwik to explore his new book, Limitless Daily, and why developing our own minds may be more important now than ever. As AI becomes faster, smarter, and more integrated into everyday life, Jim makes the case that Artificial Intelligence still depends on Human Intelligence—our ability to think critically, ask better questions, remain curious, learn faster, remember what matters, and consciously direct our attention. But becoming limitless isn't something you do once. It's something you practice daily. Jim shares the philosophy behind Limitless Daily, a book designed to give you a powerful lesson, insight, or mental reset every day of the year. Think of it as daily training for your brain—a way to intentionally win the morning before the world gets a chance to program your mind for you. JC also shares how reading Limitless Daily each morning became an unexpected companion during his cancer recovery, often delivering exactly the lesson, perspective, or question he needed that particular day. This conversation explores brain health, focus, memory, mindset, morning routines, lifelong learning, the relationship between AI and HI, and what it really means to become limitless—not by doing more, but by learning how to better use the most powerful technology you'll ever possess: Your own mind. If you've been wondering how to stay focused, capable, creative, and distinctly human in the age of AI, this conversation with Jim Kwik is one you won't want to miss.

Description:Jodi Picoult is back, and she brought her thirtieth novel with her.If you have been in a book club at any point in the last thirty years, you know the name. Forty million copies in print. Thirty four languages. And, as of this year, the fourth most banned author in America, which Jen considers a five star review.Jodi and Jen get into all of it: what thirty years of publishing actually teaches you (start with the underwear), why she refuses to coast when she could easily phone it in, what she believes AI will never do to a reader, and the career she never asked for as an advocate against book banning. Then they turn to Hollow Bones, out September 15, a novel that began with an anonymous postcard and a letter from a jail cell and carried Jodi deep into postpartum psychosis, the dismissal of women by medicine, and the long shadow of 9/11. She also brings back a character you have wondered about since My Sister's Keeper.One heads up before you press play: this conversation includes discussion of postpartum psychosis, suicide, the death of a child, and school shootings. Please take good care of yourself. Support resources are linked below.Thought-provoking Quotes:If I'm not challenged by a book, why should you be?AI will never be human. Novels work because an author is reaching deep into the heart and soul of a reader and finding a chord to pluck that resonates. AI can imitate that. It can never really do it.It's fine for a parent to decide what his or her child should be reading. I advocate that. It is not fine for that parent to decide what everyone else's child should be reading.When we remove books from schools, we are not protecting children. We are taking away resources that help them deal with an increasingly complex world. And that is the opposite of protecting kids.Women are failed at every turn of their lives by the medical industry.The more you lie, the easier it gets to lie. And we are living in a time right now when lies are being peddled as truths.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Hollow Bones by Jodi Picoult (Ballantine, September 15)Pre-order signed copies plus an exclusive overlay from Still North BooksPre-order from Barnes & Noble for the sweepstakes and a letterNineteen Minutes, My Sister's Keeper, and Mad Honey (with Jennifer Finney Boylan) by Jodi PicoultThe Book Thief by Markus Zusak, adapted for the stage by Jodi PicoultPostSecretPEN America on book bansPostpartum Support InternationalNational Maternal Mental Health Hotline: call or text 1-833-TLC-MAMA988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: call or text 988Guest's Links:Website - https://jodipicoult.com/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jodipicoultTikTok - https://tiktok.com/@jodipicoultFacebook -

Yakov Smirnoff came to America from the Soviet Union in 1977 with little money and limited English, determined to build a new life. He started out working as a bartender before finding his way into stand up comedy, where he turned the culture shock of being an immigrant into his greatest source of material.His career took him from comedy clubs to The Tonight Show, Night Court, and his own sitcom "What a Country!" making him one of the most recognizable comedians of the 1980s. Behind the catchphrase is a remarkable story of an immigrant who used comedy to understand America and ultimately found his place in it.

Rabbi Benjamin Goldschmidt grew up in Moscow as the son of the city's chief rabbi, trained in Bnei Brak and Ponovezh, and spent a decade as assistant rabbi at Manhattan's Park East Synagogue — until he was abruptly and very publicly fired. In this raw conversation with Nachi Gordon, he opens up for the first time about that moment: the New York Post headline, the car crash he got into reading about himself, and the isolation of losing not just a job but an entire community. Out of that low point came Altneu, the congregation he and his wife built from nothing — starting with 40 people in their living room, then two and a half years of renting a different Manhattan venue every single week, never knowing until Thursday's email where Shabbos would be. Rabbi Goldschmidt walks through how that instability became the shul's strength, the breaking point that nearly ended the project, his father's advice that turned it around, and how it all led to buying a $35 million building on the Upper East Side. He also gets into what it's like leading a congregation through today's political climate in New York, and the loss of a beloved member that shook the whole community.   This episode is sponsored by:   ► PZ Deals   Download the app and never pay full price again!   https://app.pz.deals/install/mpp   _________________   ► Colel Chabad Pushka App   The easiest way to give Tzedaka   https://pushkapp.cc/meaningful   _________________   ► Shopify Guru   Store looks great but not selling the way it should?
