DeWanda and Alano have been married since 2009 after dating for only three months. Now more than 15 years in, they frequently appear together at industry events and continue to build a partnership rooted in intentionality rather than assumption. Alano Miller, known for his roles in Underground and Jane the Virgin, shares a dynamic with DeWanda that is grounded in accountability and mutual respect. One of the most impactful amendments in their marriage came from Christian counseling: don’t treat strangers better than you treat me. They hold each other accountable to extend the same kindness, patience, and curiosity at home that they offer the outside world. When one of them falls short, the response is not immediate condemnation but curiosity and course correction. We explore the delicate balance between accepting your partner and enabling harmful patterns, and what it truly means to be well-suited to love someone as they are. DeWanda challenges the idea that being “too much” is always a flaw, suggesting instead that compatibility determines whether intensity feels overwhelming or perfectly matched. We also draw parallels to parenting, where the tension between letting someone be themselves and shaping them into who we think they should become is ever-present. This conversation ultimately centers on discernment, kindness, and the courage to build a relationship where both partners feel deeply seen and responsibly loved. This episode also features a clip of my upcoming interview with legendary relationship therapists John and Julie Gottman!

Nobody knows anything about The Strangers, and that's what makes them scary. Nor does anyone know why you would reboot The Strangers into a min-requel trilogy of films that have been, to put it mildly, disliked by all (which makes the proposition of watching them terrifying). Still, despite the bad reviews, the boys dive into both this new iteration of the slasher franchise, as well as the wild career of its director, genre bad boy Renny Harlin.

Warning: moderate strong languageEce Temelkaran is an award-winning journalist and novelist who has spent years warning that the collapse of democracy rarely announces itself with a bang. Instead, it happens gradually - institution is weaken, truth is eroded and what once felt unthinkable becomes normal. Ece knows this first hand. After being fired from her newspaper in Turkey amid mounting political pressure, she watched her country slide towards what she says is authoritarianism, a story she believes is no longer uniquely Turkish but part of a wider global pattern. In her writing, she argues that the real danger isn't just strong men or populist leaders, but how easily societies adapt to them. Her latest book, Nation of Strangers, explores belonging and exile. But beneath it lies the same urgent question that has defined much of her work. How do democracies fail? And can they still be saved? On this episode of Ways to Change the World, Krishnan Guru-Murthy speaks to Ece about democratic backsliding, the moral crisis she believes sits at the heart of modern politics, the experience of exile, and why rebuilding democracy may require not just political change, but a deeper transformation in how we see ourselves and each other.This interview was recorded on 13 February 2026.

Portland is offering homeowners $1,000 to rent out spare rooms for 12 months at no more than $800 a month through PadSplit or the Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon. Mayor Keith Wilson claims this 'home sharing' program is a fast and cost-effective way to increase housing stock and solve homelessness. However, critics argue that $800 is unaffordable for many homeless individuals, questioning who this program truly benefits. Past efforts, like Multnomah County's 'Housing Multnomah Now,' housed only 311 households, raising concerns about the effectiveness of incentivizing landlords. Asking homeowners to rent rooms cheaply in their own homes poses a greater challenge than renting out vacant units. The program's success remains uncertain, with participation numbers yet to be revealed.

Today, Ceri moves to the next step of the artist website journey. Once you've selected the work and gathered the words, the question becomes: what should definitely be on the website? And just as importantly, what should not.  Most artist websites don't fail because they're missing things; they fail because they're overloaded with too many pages, projects, and text and no clear entry point. Your website is not a storage unit - it's a guided experience. You are leading someone through your work, whether you realise it or not, and the clearer that journey is, the more confident your website feels.  Listen in to learn how to create a structure that supports your practice rather than draining it. KEY TAKEAWAYS If your website feels overwhelming, remove before you add. Take anything off your site you wouldn't actively send a curator to today, such as old projects you've outgrown or sections you feel you have to apologise for. Navigation is your backbone. If the menu is messy, everything else feels messy. Ceri shares a simple menu that works. Give people a "front door" to each body of work. Instead of an endless scroll, group your work by year, medium, or series to provide an entry point that lets the work do the persuading before the language does. Consider how movement affects attention . Moving sideways through work slows the encounter down and deepens the relationship, while vertical scrolling carries the muscle memory of "doom scrolling" so people absorb less. Use text as an invitation. Strangers don't want to wade through long paragraphs before seeing images. Keep text short, place it after the work, and use it to orient the viewer toward your thinking or materials. BEST MOMENTS "Volume doesn't build trust. Structure builds trust."  "Your website gets stronger every time you remove something that no longer represents you."  "Home is the doorway. Work is where they fall in. About is where they trust you. Contact is where they act."  “I worked with an artist who had hundreds of images with no grouping. They thought it made them look prolific. Instead, it made the viewer do all the work.” EPISODDE RESOURCES Episode 122 - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/should-you-start-a-newsletter-as-an-artist/id1709105337?i=1000717594617 https://claire-morgan.co.uk HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

What if one big question could change your life? Kalina Silverman became known around the world for walking up to strangers and skipping the small talk. Instead of “How's the weather?” she asks questions like: - What are you proud of? - What's been the darkest time of your life—and how did you get through it? - What do you want to do before you die? She calls it Big Talk, and she thinks everyone should be doing it. ABOUT GUEST Kalina Silverman is the creator of Big Talk (@makebigtalk on Instagram and Tik Tok) and author of the new book, “Big Talk: How to Skip the Small Talk, Make Meaningful Connections, and Enrich Your Life” (https://www.kalinasilverman.com/) CHAPTERS (0:00) Introduction (0:41) Meet Kalina Silverman (1:39) The First Big Talk Experiment (2:59) The Simple Intro That Works (4:35) The Magic of Talking to Strangers (6:16) Big Talk 101 (7:31) Big Talk Conversations After Disasters (9:42) Listening Without Fixing (10:20) Who the Book Is For (11:39) Personal Impact (12:57) Conclusion

The roar of wheelchairs on polished concrete. New tech that solves old problems. Strangers who feel like friends in under five minutes. From the floor of Abilities Expo Dallas, we sit down with Kristina Rhoades—exhibitor liaison, long-time attendee, and lifelong wheelchair user—to explore how a single weekend can recharge purpose, expand access, and remind you you're not alone.We dig into what makes Abilities Expo a keystone for the disability community: forty-plus years of consistent presence, seven U.S. cities, and a living marketplace of adaptive gear, services, and ideas. Kristina shares her path from an injury at ten months old to building a life filled with love, work she cares about, and a tight-knit creative town in New Mexico. Her perspective cuts through pity narratives and lands on agency: happiness is a choice we make daily, even when the past keeps knocking.We also trace our own journey—from a military-track car accident to a first Expo visit in 2018, then a leap of faith in 2021 to host a booth that grew our community from 8.8k to 90k. The throughline is simple: proximity accelerates progress. Being in the room—or the aisle—puts you in reach of mentors, better equipment, travel hacks, and friendships that lift your ceiling. We swap plans for Chicago and Long Beach, talk hometown dreams, and balance heavy truths with humor, because resilience is both muscle and music.If you're navigating disability, caregiving, or allyship, this conversation offers practical insight and emotional oxygen. You'll hear why events like Abilities Expo aren't just showcases; they're engines of momentum where stories and solutions meet. Tap play, share it with someone who needs a boost, and leave a review so more people can find this show. And if you're headed to a future Expo, come say hi—we'll be the ones chasing connection and cheering for your next chapter.

Kentucky…once part of the East Central Commonwealth before the Great War, had been a place of Whiskey and Thoroughbreds, where the elite came to witness the Great Kentucky Derby while the factories of Louisville and Lexington turned out armaments for the conflict with China.The horses are long gone, as are the elites and their factories, leaving a broken and blighted landscape behind for the survivors. Now known more as a place you pass through - casting glances at the remains of the old world on your way to somewhere else - old Kentucky ain't what it used to be.Trader Red hadn't meant to get herself caught in the middle of yet another mess…but here she was, watching over a bunch of folks she neither knew nor really cared to, as her eyes were still cast to those hills far to the south in Tennessee.But the Wasteland has a habit of turning any straight line into one damn twisted pretzel…and choices, good or bad, have consequences long down the line.

The podcast content may contain sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised.Do you actually know what the internet says about you? More importantly do your kids?Most young people are under the illusionthey can “spot a predator.” They'll roll their eyes and insist, “I'd know if someone was fake.” But when you ask them how they know, their answer is usually the same:“They know things about me.”“They follow my friends.”“They seem connected.”And that is exactly the trap.Listen to this edition of the Protect & Prevent Podcast (P3 Kids) hosted by Opal Singleton Hendershot of MillionKids.org, a leading voice in child protection and digital safety, as sheexplains why what is on the internet about your family matters.We now live in a world where more than 5 billion people are online. Good people, yes but also cartels, criminal networks, scammers, and predators who use the same signals of trust your child uses to decide someone is “safe.” With AI tools, public social media followers, Zillow listings, school announcements, sports stats, and Google Images, it hasnever been easier for a criminal to look like a “friend of a friend.”This isn't paranoia. It's reality.Criminal groups overseas are using this information to trick American kids into sending images and then blackmailing them. This episode breaks down:•            Why your online footprint matters •             The simple rule that could save a life: Don't accept anew friend until you verify with an old friend•             How to talk to your kids so they come to you before amistake becomes a crisisTechnology can empower our kids but it can also be weaponized against them. This conversation could be the one that protects a young person you love.

[36:05] What would happen if you committed to having lunch with 500 strangers? In this episode, host Greg Gazin reconnects with Nick Bendel (Episode #250), who not only reached that goal, he surpassed it. What began as a business experiment to improve social skills became something much deeper, a lesson in confidence, curiosity and personal growth. This episode isn't really about lunch. It's about what happens when you choose discomfort long enough to grow.

Rob Nelson and Don Tennessen discuss Principle Two of Ninja Selling: Stop Selling. Start Solving. It's built on a simple truth that people love to buy, and they hate to be sold. They explore why most sales approaches push people away, triggering defensiveness and avoidance, and how Ninja flips that dynamic by creating value, asking questions, and building relationships that naturally attract clients. Rob and Don clarify that the goal is not to avoid a process or abandon structure. The goal is to redefine what selling is, to become the trusted guide who helps people decide. They draw a sharp contrast between persuasion and clarity, emphasizing that confidence is built through communication, anticipating needs, reducing surprises, and making the transaction feel "greased" so the focus can stay on the human experience. A major theme is that real estate is uniquely emotional and complex because it is layered on top of life events like career changes, marriage, divorce, children, and moving routines and memories. That makes "fabled service" less about technical excellence and more about how clients feel during uncertainty. Don shares personal examples from selling rental properties and from a longtime doctor relationship to show what people remember most, the moments that communicate, I care about you, and I've got you. The conversation ends with a practical reset. If you feel yourself selling, you likely stopped solving, and the fastest pivot is to ask a question and re-center on the client's next chapter. Key Takeaways People move away from sales pressure and move toward value, so the first goal is to stop pushing people away Stop selling is really about attracting clients instead of chasing them A Ninja mindset focuses on what you can give rather than what you can get The job is not to make people buy, the job is to help them decide Reputation replaces persuasion because what clients say about you is more powerful than what you say about yourself Value creation has two lanes, what you do during the transaction and what you do between transactions Clients want information, a clear process, consistent follow up, and fewer surprises Real estate is more complex than other financial transactions because it stacks on top of life change and emotion Fabled service is less about technical perfection and more about how you make people feel A moment of truth is when a client touches your process, so anticipate stress points and communicate proactively If you feel like you are selling, you probably stopped solving and started thinking about yourself The best pivot out of sales mode is to ask a question and return focus to the client and ask questions Strangers are only strangers as long as you let them be strangers, one meaningful conversation changes that The transaction is not the goal, it is the consequence of consistent relationship and service Memorable Quotes "People love to buy and they hate to be sold." "Our job isn't to make people buy. Our job is to help them decide." "The mindset of a salesperson is to get something from someone. The mindset of a Ninja is what can we give." "Reputation replaces persuasion." "What do I have to do so they don't have to lay awake at night?" "A moment of truth is when your client comes into contact with your process." "You build confidence through clarity." "If I'm solving, then I don't have to sell. If I'm selling, I've probably stopped solving." "The transaction is not the goal, it's the consequence."

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we explore a counterintuitive but empowering idea: what if not knowing something is not a weakness but an advantage? My guest this week is Alan Gregerman, innovation consultant and author of The Wisdom of Ignorance. He invites us to rethink impostor syndrome by viewing not knowing as the very thing that fuels creativity, innovative thinking and meaningful change.Alan argues that breakthroughs are far more likely when we approach problems with humility, curiosity and a willingness to see the world with new eyes. He encourages his clients to leave the office, explore the world and pay attention to what they see. Alan shares how changing environments expands our thinking, how teams can benefit from “enlightened ignorance” and why leaders who model humility unlock more creativity and engagement in others.About My GuestAlan Gregerman is an internationally renowned authority on business strategy, innovation, and the hidden potential of grownups who has been called “one of the most original thinkers in business today” and “the Robin Williams of business consulting.” As the president and chief innovation officer of Washington, D.C.-based consultancy VENTURE WORKS, a best-selling author, sought-after keynote speaker, and community volunteer he focuses on helping companies and organizations unlock the genius in all of their people in order to deliver the most compelling value to their customers. He is also the founder of Passion for Learning, an award-winning nonprofit that teaches girls technology skills as a key to life and career success.His work has been featured in over 250 leading publications and media outlets in the U.S. and in other countries including the Wall Street Journal, NPR, CNN, The Economic Times, Business Week, Dagens Industri, and Fast Company and his writing, speaking, and teaching has informed and hopefully inspired over 700,000 people.His three previous books—The Necessity of Strangers, Surrounded by Geniuses, and Lessons from the Sandbox—challenge conventional thinking about people, the world around us, what it means to be remarkable, and where brilliant ideas come from. His new book, “The Wisdom of Ignorance: Why Not Knowing Can Be the Key to Innovation in an Uncertain World,” provides a powerful formula for making a difference in a world moving super-fast.~Connect with Alan:Website: www.alangregerman.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-gregerman-a33b236/Email: innovate@venture-works.com ~Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files:Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge:https://www.kimmeninger.com/challengeLearn more about the Leading Humans discussion group:https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroupJoin the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6Join the Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumansSchedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-sessionConnect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/Website:https://kimmeninger.com

Dave Munson didn't launch Saddleback Leather with a business plan. He was living in Mexico, burned out from ministry work, when he designed a leather bag he couldn't find anywhere — simple, rugged, built to last. A local craftsman made it. Strangers kept stopping him to ask where they could get one. He went back, had a small batch made, and started selling them one by one. That small run turned into Saddleback Leather Co., now known worldwide for overbuilt bags backed by a 100-year warranty and a philosophy that products should be strong enough to be fought over when you're gone. Dave went from selling on eBay to owning his own factory, collaborating with brands like Toyota and Major League Baseball, and building a loyal following of more than 250,000 customers who value durability over trends.

Four years ago, I interviewed Tapani after he had already made significant progress with his social anxiety. His lifelong blushing had reduced dramatically. Life was opening up in ways that once felt impossible. Recently, he shared in our community that the last time he felt more than a little anxious was months ago. His anxiety barely bothers him anymore. And he described learning not just how to deal with social anxiety, but how to approach life differently. That made me curious. So we recorded this follow-up conversation to explore what actually holds up over time. What does long-term change from social anxiety really feel like? Not dramatic confidence. Not becoming a different personality. Not turning into the most charismatic person in the room. Instead: • Anxiety dropping from an 8 or 9 to mild physical tension • Blushing no longer dominating daily life • Social situations feeling ordinary again • Strangers no longer registering as threats • Relief that continues to deepen quietly If you've ever wondered: "Does this actually last?" "What if I improve… and then it fades?" "Is this realistic for someone like me?" This episode is for you. We talk about: • Fear of blushing and reputation anxiety • Anticipatory anxiety and how it changes • Why pushing anxiety away makes it worse • Acceptance and nervous system regulation • Why progress compounds gradually • What "feeling normal" really means This isn't a story about instant transformation. It's an honest look at how social anxiety can loosen its grip over time, and what life feels like when your system gradually updates instead of being forced. If you're considering whether this path might fit you, you'll find more details here. Take your time. Move when it feels right.

Britain carries the Opium War to Beijing's unready doorstep with steam and iron, moving the crisis from the border frontiers to the heart of the imperial court itself.

I've spent over $15M on high-ticket ads since 2013. And I can tell you — if your ads aren't converting, it's not your CPMs, your CTR, or the algorithm. It's your message. In this episode, I break down the "Trust Funnel" — the same system behind nine figures in sales — and why trust is the only metric that actually matters. The Trust Funnel (3 Steps) The Ad — Your ad's job isn't cheap clicks. It's to hit the deep pain your ideal client is obsessing over at 3 AM. Specificity and empathy beat clever headlines every time. The Authority Video — Don't teach tactics. Show them you understand their problem better than they can describe it themselves. That's what books calls. The Call — If the first two steps work, they show up mostly sold. No hard closing — just a conversation to see if there's a fit. The 3 Trust Killers I See Every Day Too vague — "Want to grow your business?" is wallpaper. Name the exact person, problem, and outcome. No stakes — If you don't make the cost of staying stuck crystal clear, they scroll past. No differentiation — Sound like every other coach and they'll lump you in with everyone who burned them before. The Bottom Line We're in a trust recession. Your ideal clients have been burned by overpromising coaches and garbage programs. No amount of funnel optimization breaks through that — only a message that makes them feel genuinely understood. "Trust is not built by being relatable and fun. It's built by telling people the uncomfortable truth about why they're stuck and showing them the way out."
