    Hello to you listening in Shah Alam, Malaysia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.The beginning of a New Year can feel daunting. All those plans to kick start, days to fill, resolutions to keep, and more to do! There's no shame in admitting feeling a wee bit wobbly-legged about going forward in the face of wide open frontiers.  What to do? Gain some courage by reversing your Bucket List. Instead of a list of what is yet to be done, what about a list of what you've accomplished from the littlest things that you felt made a difference to the biggest things you never thought you would achieve. You might begin by asking yourself:What made me proud?What have I learned?How did I transform my thinking about strangers to compassion and kindness?Who revealed the meaning of true love to me?Where did I find the hope and resilience to face whatever came my way?When did I feel most content or fulfilled?What would I do all over again just for the joy of it?What did I long for as a child?  What have I created or, at least, not destroyed?Who have I lifted up?How have I defined my life?  What dreams came true? And, which was I happy to leave by the wayside?  What or whom did I fight for and why?When did I take time to play?  In my experience the Reverse Bucket List invites us to pay attention to what we've done, won, gained, lost, learned and kept on living no matter what. It's proof that over and over again we have stepped outside our comfort zone to strive for something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for! Give it a go. Reverse your Bucket List and shine a light on you. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

The oak trees stood tall, their branches adorned with Spanish moss.Nl: Het was een drukte van belang, mensen lachten en praatten, voorbereid op de viering van Oud en Nieuw.En: It was a bustle of activity, people laughing and talking, prepared for the New Year's Eve celebration.Nl: Zuidelijke gezelligheid vulde de lucht.En: Southern hospitality filled the air.Nl: Femke stopte en liet haar blik dwalen over het park.En: Femke stopped and let her gaze wander over the park.Nl: Ze dacht aan Nederland, aan thuis.En: She thought of Nederland, of home.Nl: Ze kende nog niet veel mensen in Savannah, en tijdens de feestdagen voelde ze zich extra eenzaam.En: She didn't know many people in Savannah yet, and during the holidays, she felt extra lonely.Nl: Toch wilde ze haar nieuwe leven omarmen en vriendschappen sluiten.En: Still, she wanted to embrace her new life and make friends.Nl: Haar ogen zochten in de menigte naar Joost, haar collega die met zijn familie in de stad was.En: Her eyes searched the crowd for Joost, her colleague who was in the city with his family.Nl: Joost stond onder een grote boom, zijn houding ontspannen maar afstandelijk.En: Joost stood under a large tree, his posture relaxed yet distant.Nl: Femke wilde dichterbij komen, maar aarzelde.En: Femke wanted to get closer but hesitated.Nl: Hoe kon ze met hem praten zonder dat het gek leek?En: How could she talk to him without it seeming awkward?Nl: Terwijl ze nadacht, gebeurde er iets onverwachts.En: As she pondered, something unexpected happened.Nl: Niet ver van Joost, viel Lars, een andere Nederlander in het park, plotseling op de grond.En: Not far from Joost, Lars, another Dutch person in the park, suddenly fell to the ground.Nl: Mensen stonden verstijfd van schrik.En: People froze in shock.Nl: Femke keek eerst rond, wachtend tot iemand iets zou doen.En: Femke looked around, waiting for someone to take action.Nl: Maar niemand bewoog.En: But no one moved.Nl: Ze herinnerde zich hoe haar vader haar had geleerd om te helpen als iemand in nood was.En: She remembered how her father had taught her to help when someone was in need.Nl: Femke ademde diep in en rende naar Lars toe.En: Femke took a deep breath and ran towards Lars.Nl: "Joost!"En: "Joost!"Nl: riep ze uit, haar stem licht trillend.En: she called out, her voice slightly trembling.Nl: Joost keek op, verrast door haar roep.En: Joost looked up, surprised by her call.Nl: Hij haastte zich naast haar.En: He hurried over to join her.Nl: Samen knielden ze bij Lars.En: Together, they knelt by Lars.Nl: Joost controleerde zijn pols, terwijl Femke haar sjaal onder Lars' hoofd legde.En: Joost checked his pulse, while Femke placed her scarf under Lars' head.Nl: "We moeten hulp bellen," zei Femke terwijl ze haar telefoon pakte.En: "We need to call for help," said Femke as she grabbed her phone.Nl: Joost knikte instemmend en belde de hulpdiensten.En: Joost nodded in agreement and called emergency services.Nl: De momenten voelden lang en gespannen, maar samen ondersteunden ze elkaar in hun actie.En: The moments felt long and tense, but they supported each other in their actions.Nl: Ze spraken niet veel, maar in die stilte was er een soort begrip.En: They didn't speak much, but in that silence, there was a kind of understanding.Nl: Lars kreunde zachtjes en opende zijn ogen.En: Lars groaned softly and opened his eyes.Nl: Femke glimlachte bemoedigend naar hem.En: Femke smiled encouragingly at him.Nl: "De ambulance is onderweg," zei Joost, terwijl hij zijn telefoon weer opborg.En: "The ambulance is on its way," said Joost, as he put his phone away.Nl: Femke knikte en bleef bij Lars, terwijl Joost zijn hand op Femkes schouder legde.En: Femke nodded and stayed with Lars, while Joost placed his hand on Femke's shoulder.Nl: Toen de ambulance arriveerde, konden Femke en Joost eindelijk ademen.En: When the ambulance arrived, Femke and Joost could finally breathe.Nl: Lars werd op een brancard gelegd, maar niet zonder eerst zijn dankbaarheid te uiten.En: Lars was placed on a stretcher, but not without first expressing his gratitude.Nl: "Jullie hebben me echt geholpen," zei hij zwakjes maar vastberaden.En:

    Movie reviews #57-1 (Pied Piper 1972) This be a rated G movie about the Black Death with an obviously stoned looking Donovan as the Pied Piper. surprising that Donovan never wrote a song called “get the cash up front”.2 (Watch out we're Mad 1974) Your decade under the influence crew has watched several Italian 70's films that had some good political and even queer representation, but they all also had horrible sexual assault of women scenes. Enter this film that does not have horrid assault, just two guys spending all their time together being frenemies and wanting 2 dune buggy's, that's it, annnnd we found it quite refreshing.
3 (Murder by death 1976) Peter Sellers and many other talented people star in this zany whodunnit, but Sellers plays an extremely racist character, soooooo just watch Clue!
4 (Amityville Horror 1979) The older brother from Goonies, Dad has great hair in this movie, in the beginning. As his demonic possession marches on his hair care routine goes right out the window. Better reporter, and superman's girlfriend is here too, and the whole thing would be fine if the damned priest she asked to cleanse their new house knew what he was doing.
5 (Strangers, the story of a mother and daughter 1979) Bette Davis and Gena Rowlands star in this serious but also campy rad made for tv movie about A Mother who don wanna talk and a Daughter who does, who will win.
6 (Brubaker 1980) Wow this has a great top four, Robert Redford, Yaphet Kotto, Jane Alexander, and the mighty Morgan Freeman in one of 2 movies he did that year where he is stuck in prison. This film is great and is about prison reform which it still desperately needs. Reform hmmmmm maybe revolution.
folks that's this batch of films and we will see ya next time. Please drop us a review, and thanks for listening.

    Ian McEwan's latest novel, “What We Can Know,” is many things at once: It's a science fiction imagining of a future world devastated by climate catastrophe; it's a literary mystery about a scholar's search for a long-lost poem; it's a deep dive into complicated marriages; and it's a meditation on how the past lingers and how history morphs with time.“It's the best thing McEwan has written in ages,” our critic Dwight Garner wrote in his review. “It's a sophisticated entertainment of a high order.”In this episode of the Book Review Book Club, the host MJ Franklin discusses “What We Can Know” with his colleagues Sarah Lyall (who profiled McEwan for the Book Review this year) and Leah Greenblatt.

    In this episode of SaaS Fuel, host Jeff Mains welcomes back Jason Friedman—entrepreneur, author, and customer experience expert. Jason shares his journey from theater and rock-and-roll roadie to building billion-dollar brands, and reveals how the principles of stagecraft and storytelling can transform SaaS businesses.The conversation dives deep into the “Kinetic Customer Formula,” the importance of designing intentional customer journeys, and why focusing on relationships and retention is the key to sustainable SaaS growth. Jason also discusses his upcoming book, “Addicted to Strangers,” and offers actionable advice for founders looking to create raving fans and reduce churn.Key Takeaways[0:45] – The power of stagecraft: How Jason's theater background shaped his approach to customer experience.[5:20] – Choreographing the audience's journey is as important in business as it is in theater.[13:20] – The “Kinetic Customer Formula”: Attitudes + Behaviors, multiplied by Momentum Boosters, minus Friction = Radical Results.[22:00] – Retention over acquisition: Why focusing on existing customers yields a “quadratic return.”[27:30] – The danger of being “addicted to strangers” and neglecting your current audience.[32:00] – The importance of mapping not just the customer journey, but also employee and partner journeys.[36:00] – Storytelling is embedded in every step of the customer experience, not just a surface-level tactic.[41:00] – Churn is a silent killer: For every customer who complains, 21 remain silent.[48:00] – Community and relationships are the future of SaaS in an AI-driven world.Tweetable Quotes“People don't move in steps—they move in stories. If you want to move people, help them create the stories that move them in the direction you want.” — Jason Friedman“Everything you do is for the audience. In business, everything is for the customer—but we often focus more on business needs than customer needs.” — Jason Friedman“There's a quadratic return on making the people who already bought from us happy. They become the best marketing.” — Jason Friedman“If you increase the return on audience success, the return on ad spend goes up. It can't not.” — Jason Friedman“A raving fan can become a raving lunatic in an instant. There's a thin line between love and hate.” — Jason FriedmanSaaS Leadership LessonsDesign with Intention: Map out the customer journey as meticulously as a director plans a show. Start with the end in mind and reverse-engineer the experience.Empathy is Key: Get into character—understand your customer's mindset, motivations, and obstacles.Retention to Acquisition: Focus on delighting and retaining current customers rather than constantly chasing new ones.Measure What Matters: Don't just look at churn percentages—track the actual number of customers lost and understand why.Guest Resourcesjason@cxformula.comwww.radicalinc.comwww.cxformula.comhttps://media.jasonfriedman.meJason Friedman's Upcoming Book: Addicted to Strangers – Get a free ebook copy when it launchesLinkedIn: Jason FriedmanEpisode Sponsor

    Who we are is a function of where we are. Do you agree with that? Who you are depends on where you are. We're different people in different places, right? You're different in the board room than you are on vacation. You're different with your parents than you are with your kids. I'm different hanging out with Malcolm Gladwell in his West Village apartment than I am sitting in my basement as I type up a little note about it. That theme is one that we get to open up in this chapter of 3 Books with the one and only ​Malcolm Gladwell​. I flew down to New York and joined Malcolm at his place where we settled around a table surrounded by books. Top to bottom! Floor to ceiling! And, no big deal, all hardcovers. "This is a fraction of my books, I should say," he told me as we began the chat. We talk about raising nerds in a world forcing us into being average, how to find tribes where we truly fit in, who Malcolm thinks is the best non-fiction author alive, why thrillers are instructive, what Malcolm's biggest advice is for aspiring authors, and, of course, his 3 most formative books. It was a rare treat to sit down with Malcolm Gladwell in this classic chapter of 3 Books...

    Chats In A Park With Strangers: Chauncey Williams

    How Do We Fix It?

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 19, 2025 23:54


    Pick a controversial topic. Whether it's immigration, race, climate change, the role of religion, or the economy, many of our assumptions that we view as completely reasonable can seem whacky or wrong to others. This may well include very smart, thoughtful people, who've had very different life experiences than our own.Our guest for this episode is Chauncey Williams, a Democratic-leaning Braver Angels volunteer in Denver.He was shocked when Donald Trump was first elected President in 2016. But instead of retreating into his political silo, Chauncey began a unique project. On different occasions he set up a table with two chairs in local parks, and invited total strangers to have conversations about important public matters. “One of the important things I came to realize is that I walk into a lot of those conversations with a host of assumptions about folks that aren't always true,” Chauncey told us. “I've often been fascinated and humbled by realizing my own limitations in knowledge, and having that revealed,” he said. “I've had this happen on more than one occasion… As uncomfortable as it is, I also welcome it.”In our revealing interview Chauncey shares what he learned from his “chats in a park” project. We hear two audio extracts from his nuanced conversations— one with an outspoken conservative who challenged Chauncey on his views of drop boxes during elections, and another with a recent immigrant from Ecuador who explained what diversity meant to him and his family.Chauncey Williams lives in Colorado where he is involved with the Southern Front Range and Denver Alliances. This year, he helped launch a "Share Your Story" event to learn how others came to their views on specific political topics and on politics, generally. He is a member of Braver Angels Denver Alliance.“How Do We Fix It?” reports on the people, projects and ideas of Braver Angels, the cross-partisan citizen's movement that brings red, blue, and other Americans together in a working alliance. Braver Angels is building new ways for Americans to talk to one another, and act as courageous citizens. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of The Gonzo Chronicles, we dive into the mystery of unexplained cosmic visitors, the real science behind alien speculation, and why the universe keeps humbling humanity. From AI-driven space exploration and Elon Musk's race to Mars, to the lingering doubts about the Moon landing and the truth behind the Van Allen radiation belts, this episode blends skepticism, science, and wonder.

    My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Danny Limny-Schmitt, author of the book 10 Little Rules for Understanding America. Danny works at NREL leading prize competitions for entrepreneurs and students in the American-Made Challenges program, while also serving as the Principal Investigator of the U.S. Utility Rate Database.   In his previous roles at NREL and work in graduate school, he led and supported urban science and sustainable transportation research. He seeks to integrate his skills in the geospatial sciences, research in urban environments, and entrepreneurial networks to build a career focused on sustainability in the energy and/or transportation sectors.   He has an enduring interest in better understanding the spatial dimensions of the current economic and sociopolitical challenges, and has traveled to all 3,144 counties in the United States in an attempt to better understand the country he calls home.   In my book review, I stated 10 Little Rules for Understanding America is an inspirational memoir you won't want to miss. Danny has visited every county in the United States (3,000+) including those found in Alaska and Hawaii! Why? He wanted to explore what made America tick. In the process, he learned a lot about how where a person lives affects what they believe about politics, social norms, religion, and more.   Do you have to see every county to get something from his rules? Absolutely not! His rules are perfect for anyone who wants to understand this great country we live in as well as the people who populate it. For instance, the rule Say Hello to Strangers can help any traveler understand just a bit more about those around them, and the rule to Take the Road Less Traveled can help you be more than a tourist.   I also loved how Danny recognized his own biases and continues to work hard to eliminate them. In today's world, his idea that there are good people on both sides of an argument is refreshing - and much needed. The best part is that he gives guided questions at the end of each chapter to help you develop your own rules for understanding America.   Don't miss this book!   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Danny Limny-Schmitt Linked In: @Daniel Zimny Schmitt FB: @danny.zimnyschmitt IG: @dannyz3142   Purchase 10 Little Rules for Understanding America on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/47a0BHc Ebook: https://amzn.to/42y0Ytv   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Asthma had always been a problem, but that afternoon in the meat processing plant, it became a death sentence. One leaking AC unit, one breath of coolant, and his world went black. The next thing he knew, he wasn't on the factory floor anymore. He was standing in a green, impossibly vivid field beside a wide, glassy river that split in two. To the right: churning storm clouds and lightning tearing into the ground. To the left: warm sun, rolling hills, and a peace he could feel in his bones.
