I wrote The Consistency Code to help people live more consistently. But here is what I have learned: consistency toward what? Before the principles mean anything, you have to answer that question. In this episode I make the case that getting radically clear on your values and standards is not optional. It is the only foundation from which meaningful consistency can actually be built. Without it, you are being disciplined toward things that were never truly yours to begin with. You are chasing rainbows. I also share the questions worth sitting with to start building a code that is genuinely yours at this age and stage of life. Not someone else's definition of health or success. Yours. This episode is also a direct invitation to join me on Substack, where every Tuesday I go live in something called The Code, a behind-the-scenes look at how I apply these principles in my own life in real time.

Sleep Story for Insomnia — The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 5: Three Broken Threads | Books at Bedtime Drift off to sleep with a classic bedtime story. If insomnia has you lying awake, this gentle, slow-paced reading is designed to quieten a racing mind and carry you softly into deep, restful sleep. Tonight, Books at Bedtime continues Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles with Chapter 5 — Three Broken Threads. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson return to the Northumberland Hotel, where Sir Henry Baskerville is in a state over a missing boot. A bearded stranger has been following them through London. A telegram is sent to Devonshire to test whether Barrymore is truly at his post. And a cab driver named John Clayton delivers a piece of news that leaves Holmes quite speechless. Three threads. All of them broken before the evening is out. You do not need to follow the story. You do not need to remember a word of it. Let the voice become background — a warm, familiar presence in the dark — and let sleep arrive in its own time. This is a public domain classic, read aloud for relaxation and sleep by Martin Hewlett, host of the Calming Anxiety podcast and creator of Coffee Break for the Soul. No sudden music. No jarring edits. Just a calm voice, a good story, and permission to stop thinking. Perfect as a sleep aid, for insomnia, night-time anxiety, long journeys, or any evening when your mind refuses to settle. Sleep well, my friend. In everything you do — be kind.

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with intuitive and spiritual mentor Nikki Novo, host of the Soul-Led Living podcast. They talk about spirit babies, the souls that hover around us before conception and shape everything from pregnancy timing to loss to the identity shift into motherhood. The conversation moves into what Nikki calls the current collective moment, a time when old safety-driven paths no longer reward us and living authentically is what actually works now. They cover tuning into your true self through inner-child work, honoring your own rhythms, and Nikki's daily practices for staying energetically clear.If you want to go DEEPER with me, my Substack is where I share even more behind-the-scenes, personal reflections, and wellness experiments, with new posts dropping every Thursday: https://substack.com/@thewellnessprocessFollow Nikki Novo:Website: https://www.nikkinovo.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikkinovoFollow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessprocesspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewellnessprocessYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessProcessSponsors:Save 25% on your first month at ritual.com/TWP Use coupon code TWP to save 15% at boncharge.comGo to tonal.com and use code WELLNESS for 20% off your purchase.Text TWP to 64000 to get 20% off all IQBAR products, plus FREE shipping.

What if I told you one of our clients added 80 new families to her enrollment for the upcoming school year, and five more who enrolled on the spot, in under 30 days? Not through luck. Not through crossing her fingers and hoping tours would convert. Through a system.In this episode, I'm walking you through the enrollment gear: what it actually looks like to build an enrollment ecosystem instead of just doing enrollment activity. I'm sharing the real story of a client, Missy, who runs multiple locations and turned one of her struggling centers around by building accountability into her calendar instead of hoping her team would just remember to follow up.We're covering the four levels of work every gear needs (strategic, implementation, support, and classroom), the difference between green and red activities in your enrollment process, and why your calendar is the real battlefield where enrollment either happens or doesn't. I also get into why disturbances and interruptions throughout your day aren't a sign something's broken. They're actually part of the job, and there's a mindset shift here that changes how you lead.What You'll Learn:The three systems Missy put in place that helped her center enroll 80 new families in under 30 daysThe four levels of work (strategic, implementation, support, classroom) and who owns each one in your enrollment processThe difference between green activities (closest to the cash) and red activities (busywork that feels productive but doesn't move enrollment)Why your calendar, not your to-do list, is where enrollment actually gets won or lostHow to know when your enrollment gear can move into strategic maintenance instead of constant hustleWhy interruptions and disturbances throughout your day are an invitation to practice leadership, not a problem to eliminateResources Mentioned:Five Gears Diagnostic: https://hub.schoolsofexcellence.com/fivegearsConnect With Us:Join us on Substack: https://chaniewilschanski.substack.com/

Richard Parker has spent his life reading America through two lenses most people keep apart: economics and religion. The throughline is that faith, money, and power did not grow up in separate rooms. They grew up together. An Oxford-trained economist who has taught at Harvard's Kennedy School since 1993, Parker co-founded Mother Jones, helped build Greenpeace USA, and helped Norman Lear start People for the American Way. This conversation runs from an abolitionist ancestor who helped fund John Brown's raid, through the Reformation's long shadow over capitalism and the corporation, to a president reaching into the economy in ways the country has not seen since it had kings. Calls to Action ✅ Leave a rating and review: lovethepodcast.com/politicsandreligion ✅ Subscribe on Substack: coreysnathan.substack.com ✅ Watch and subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@politicsandreligion ✅ Share this episode with someone who reads the news and someone who's given up on it Key Takeaways The abolitionist in the family tree. Richard's ancestor, the Rev. Theodore Parker, was one of the Secret Six who bankrolled John Brown's raid. He also coined lines later borrowed by Lincoln ("of the people, by the people, for the people") and Martin Luther King ("the arc of the moral universe bends toward justice"). Not since kings. When a president takes government equity stakes in companies like Nvidia, Parker argues, he folds the state into his own person and pushes presidential power into the economy in a way America has not seen since it had monarchs. Only about six presidents. Borrowing from political scientist Stephen Skowronek, Parker says just a handful of presidents ever reset the country's governing terms. He does not think Trump is one of them. The same fights in new costumes. Most of our arguments recur generation after generation. Parker's aim is not to win them but to help people see the landscape they are arguing from, which is how a divided country starts talking instead of accusing. About Our Guest Richard Parker is an economist, author, and Senior Fellow and Lecturer at Harvard's Kennedy School, where he has taught since 1993. He co-founded Mother Jones, helped build Greenpeace USA, helped Norman Lear launch People for the American Way, and has advised figures including Senator Edward Kennedy. He serves on the boards of The Nation and the Journal of Post Keynesian Economics.

In this episode, Lisa Ackland Carriere — founder of The Writing Well and writer at The Daily Calling on Substack — joins us to talk about the side of caregiving no one signs up for. When caregiving is forced on you by circumstance rather than chosen as a profession, compassion fatigue can quietly take root, leaving you emotionally shut down and disconnected from your own identity. Lisa shares her personal journey through years of layered crisis — parenting a son with ADD, developmental delays, and learning disabilities; a move that strained her marriage; the sudden loss of her mother; her brother's brain cancer diagnosis and death; and her husband's subsequent pancreatic cancer diagnosis. We talk about what compassion fatigue really looks like for caregivers — nurses and everyday women alike — how God reframes identity and purpose through the caregiving journey, and practical ways to support a caregiver both in the thick of crisis and in the aftermath, whatever the outcome. In This Episode: What compassion fatigue is and how it accumulates over years of caregiving for a loved one who needs ongoing, difficult care Lisa's story: a son with developmental and learning challenges, a marital rift after relocating for his schooling, and a cascade of loss — her mother, her brother, and her husband's health The difference between caregiving as a chosen profession and caregiving that's simply your life How identity gets buried under years of "just showing up," and how it can be reclaimed How God reframes purpose and identity in the middle of caregiving crisis Practical ways to support a caregiver mid-crisis Practical ways to support a caregiver after the crisis — whether their loved one survived or passed away About Lisa Ackland Carriere: Lisa Ackland Carriere is the founder and director of The Writing Well, providing writing services and collaborative partnerships to professionals.

In this episode, I'm joined by Christine Reed, author of Alone in Wonderland, for a conversation about sobriety, grief, independence, and the healing power of the outdoors. Christine shares how hiking the Appalachian Trail after losing her mother changed the direction of her life, why she decided alcohol was no longer serving her, and how becoming alcohol-free created space for a bigger and more intentional life. We also talk about solo adventure, van life, living with POTS, and what it means to trust your body while continuing to challenge yourself.

A new paper in the New England Journal of Medicine—written by two Canadian critical-care physicians and a Harvard Medical School bioethicist—asks whether the dead donor rule should be "reassessed" for MAiD patients. Specifically, it explores whether organs could be retrieved while a patient is sedated, unconscious, and still alive, with the organ retrieval itself becoming the cause of death.As reported by the National Post, the authors argue that requiring a formal declaration of death before organ retrieval may be "ethically arbitrary," and describe the proposal as "a Pareto improvement: no one would be made worse off."In this episode, we break down:- What the paper actually says, including its important caveats. The authors are not calling for the dead donor rule to be abandoned, no jurisdiction is currently considering this proposal, and they explicitly call for "open, transparent dialogue."- Why this proposal has unmistakable Canadian fingerprints. Canada now leads the world in organ donation after MAiD, with 41 cases in 2021 compared with 20 combined across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Spain. Since 2016, there have been more than 155 MAiD organ donors in Canada.- The five-minute "no-touch" protocol that currently separates death from organ retrieval, and why some researchers believe it should be reconsidered.- The objections from within the medical ethics community, including bioethicist Lainie Friedman Ross, who told NPR: "Which I think is murder."- The broader pattern: 2016 (terminal illness only), 2021 (terminal illness requirement removed), and March 2027 (mental illness eligibility). The phrase "No one is proposing that" has often meant "not yet published." This proposal is now published in one of the world's leading medical journals.I warned for years that euthanasia and organ donation were on a path toward convergence and was repeatedly told it was misinformation.Now, the discussion is appearing in a peer-reviewed medical journal.SOURCESSharon Kirkey, "'Death by organ donation': Doctors raise possibility of retrieving organs from MAID patients while they are still alive," National Post (July 23, 2026):https://unpublished.ca/news-feed-item/2026-07-23/death-by-organ-donation-doctors-raise-possibility-of-retrieving-organs"Contextualizing the Dead Donor Rule in an Era of Voluntary Euthanasia," New England Journal of Medicine:https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMms2601611NPR – Lainie Friedman Ross interview:https://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/npr/nx-s1-5883714/a-new-proposal-for-organ-donation-sparks-concernCanadian Blood Services – Professional guidance on organ donation and MAiD:https://professionaleducation.blood.ca/en/organs-and-tissues/professional-guidance/deceased-donation-after-maidNational Post (prior reporting) – American recipient of a heart from an Ontario ALS patient who died by MAiD:https://ca.news.yahoo.com/american-man-gets-heart-38-110042532.htmlPRE-ORDERDo No Harm?: How the Healthcare Industry Legalized Murder (Skyhorse, March 2027)https://www.amazon.com/dp/151078893XBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenDo No Harm? - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1683585763?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_SC8YGT87SPJ1VB8SAYP1Let's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

Spurs made an eye-catching start to the transfer window, Henry assesses the transfers completed so far and whether the club is finally building a squad capable of challenging at the very highest level next season. More importantly, he identifies what Tottenham still need to do before the window closes if they are to bridge the gap to the top of the Premier League. We also delve into some of the biggest transfer stories currently surrounding the club, discussing the prospects of moves for Victor Osimhen, Cody Gakpo, Savinho and Omar Marmoush, separating the genuine possibilities from the speculation. We also reflect on potential exits for Club captain Cristian Romero, Djed Spence and Lucas Bergvall and how the Club will deal with the nature of the negotiations for each individual player. The conversation also takes an entertaining turn as Henry gives his take on Roberto De Zerbi's now-famous use of the word 'BOMBA'—what it reveals about the new Spurs boss, his personality and the infectious energy he is already bringing to the football club.

In this episode, the Pugsters look at the role of imagination in finding truth. Starting with Samuel Taylor Coleridge's definition of imagination, the conversation explores the role of the Logos in creating and sustaining the world. For Coleridge, it is our primary imagination that sees and understands the words of the Logos in creation; the secondary imagination works from the primary imagination to create poems and other imaginative works. The guys move on from there to talk about the limits of reason and alternate ways of approaching knowledge beyond those accepted by modernity.Support the Theology Pugcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thetheologypugcast?fbclid=IwAR17UHhfzjphO52C_kkZfursA_C784t0ldFix0wyB4fd-YOJpmOQ3dyqGf8Chris & Chris Talk Business Podcast: https://youtube.com/@chrisandchristalkbusiness?si=Wr-27dGavsGQSH5PLearn more about First Pres.

Donna shares the pivotal story of being told by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar that her high school basketball stats made her not just “good,” but a star, even though she'd spent years telling herself she was terrible. That moment shattered her habit of focusing on misses instead of scores, and it mirrors how many entrepreneurs obsess over what's not working instead of the results they are getting. Donna explains how this kind of negative self-talk quietly sabotages success, and why shifting your internal language is the first step to changing your external results. From there, Donna gets practical. She reveals her simple productivity framework: finish three small things a day, and plan your business in 90‑day quarters instead of chasing vague, far-off “big goals” you never complete. She talks about her mind shifting process, so powerful she credits it with helping her regain speech three days after a massive stroke, and her exercise to “evict your perfection witch,” freeing you from the perfectionism that keeps offers, content, and ideas stuck in draft mode. You'll learn why doing things live, iterating in public, and embracing “beta” versions is often the fastest path to a profitable, repeatable offer. https://youtu.be/7O3QKP52x0g?si=3CsjDdtyNwHJKBF1 Donna also dives into how she's using AI as a true virtual assistant, not a distraction. She explains how she trained ChatGPT's new work feature to understand her voice (“donatize” her content), organize her Google Drive, build course templates, and act as a pocket performance coach for clients, while maintaining strict boundaries so the tech stays safe, useful, and under her control. For entrepreneurs, especially those over 50, who feel overwhelmed by tech, uncertain about their “next page,” or tired of spinning their wheels, this conversation offers a blend of mindset, systems, and AI strategy rooted in real-world experience. If you're ready to stop overthinking, start finishing, and finally turn your brilliance into bankable results, you'll want to hear what Donna shares. Quotes: "Find three little things that you can finish now. What happens? It changes the frequency, the energy within you, and the frequency around you, because we create the energy around us." "When you make a goal, sure, look at the big hairy-ass goals, that's fine, but look at something that's three months away. If you plan in quarters, you're far more productive." "I created a mind shift exercise called 'Evict Your Perfection Witch' because she has taken residence on my shoulders from time to time, and I want to evict her, evict the bitch, that's what I say."

Narcissism is usually imagined as arrogance, dominance, and the loudest person in the room, but it is not always that obvious. In this episode, Vanessa explores narcissism as a problem of selfhood: what happens when a person does not have a stable enough inner sense of Self to stay emotionally coherent without constant reflection from the outside. Through Kohut, Kernberg, the myth of Narcissus, vulnerable and grandiose narcissism, the false self, parental overvaluation, and the difference between traits and Narcissistic Personality Disorder, we look at why these dynamics can feel so confusing inside real relationships. The question is not only whether someone can be charming, wounded, or empathic when things are easy, but whether they can stay curious about your reality when it no longer mirrors back the version of themselves they need to see.For educational purposes only. This isn't therapy.Join Vanessa for the free Inner Compass Academy Summit, August 5–7, where we'll explore depth psychology, shadow, embodiment, and what real transformation asks of us.

Have you ever found yourself questioning your value, second-guessing your decisions, or wondering if the changing market means it's time to play smaller? Even the most experienced experts can fall into the trap of letting fear, uncertainty, or outside circumstances shape the choices they make. I've been there myself, and I know how easy it is to start looking for evidence outside of ourselves instead of trusting the wisdom we've already earned. In episode 502 of Amplify Your Success podcast, I'm airing a powerful conversation from my Substack, Growth Fuel with Eva Gregory – an award-winning Inner Authority Mentor who helps soul-led entrepreneurs move from proving their value to leading from it. Together, we explore why so many experts unknowingly make decisions from scarcity, how to recognize when fear is driving your business, and what it really takes to trust your inner guidance when the path ahead feels uncertain. If you've been feeling called to lead with greater confidence, create more prosperity, and stop looking outside yourself for permission, this episode will help you reconnect with the wisdom that's already within you.   Key Takeaways: 02:50 Why successful entrepreneurs can still fall into scarcity thinking, even after years of results. 05:00 How small decisions made from fear quietly shape the future of your business. 10:10 The biggest sign you're operating from a need to prove your value instead of trusting it. 14:00 How to tell the difference between fear that's protecting you and growth that's inviting you forward. 17:20 Eva's "What If Up" practice for shifting your focus from limitation to possibility. 20:10 Why your emotions are one of the clearest indicators that you're out of alignment with your truth. 23:00 How limiting beliefs can override your inner guidance, even when you know the next right step. 25:40 The mindset shifts that prosperous entrepreneurs consistently practice when facing uncertainty. 29:00 Why prosperity begins by trusting yourself before waiting for permission from the market. 31:45 Eva's GPS analogy for taking the next step, even before you can see the entire path.   About The Guest:  Eva Gregory is an award-winning Inner Authority Mentor who helps soul-led entrepreneurs move from proving their value to leading from it. She integrates inner guidance, energy alignment, and proven business strategy to help experts trust their work more deeply, attract high-end clients, and create premium offers that reflect the depth of their transformation.

Send me a text! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!Can ayahuasca actually heal you — or does it just crack you open before you're ready?Everyone's talking about ayahuasca right now. A celebrity swears it changed their life, and suddenly you're wondering if this ancient plant medicine is the shortcut to healing, happiness, and finally feeling alive again. In this solo episode, I hold two things at once: the higher self — what it actually is — and ayahuasca, the Amazonian brew the wellness world has turned into a shortcut to enlightenment. And I ask the question underneath all the hype: why it's genuinely good for a few people, and genuinely not for most.I get into the neuroscience of ego dissolution and the Default Mode Network, why your nervous system heals a drop at a time — not in one overwhelming night — and the real research most people never hear: the treatment-resistant depression trials, the global survey of nearly 11,000 ayahuasca users, the serious risks and drug interactions, and the people who came home from the jungle and couldn't put their lives back together.I've never done ayahuasca. I'm not here to sell it or scare you off it. Just the research, the soul, and the honest conversation nobody else is having.Passion over profit. Science and Soul, always.

The CEO of Cracker Barrel lost her job this week, and the tell was sitting in an interview she gave months earlier. A year after the logo backlash — the one that generated a wall of press, then a second spike now, bookending the whole affair in Muck Rack's data — Julie Fels Masino is out. She did not need to be. Almost everything she decided was right.That is what makes this one worth your time. This is not a story about a dumb company doing a dumb thing. Cracker Barrel was right about the numbers, right about the strategy, right that something had to change. The industry buckets them next to Denny's. Their average check is $15 against an industry closer to $27. Fifty people work the back of house to put that much food on a table. The business case was real. They walked off a cliff anyway, because they missed the one thing a spreadsheet cannot show you.Two interviews tell the story. Eight months ago, Julie sat down with Glenn Beck — beside the senior vice president of store operations, in a bone-colored blouse, eating on camera, while Beck got up for coffee mid-answer. It was there that she did her best work: running her hand around the smooth corner of a remodeled table and explaining that customers told them the hard corners hurt. A regular who brings a stadium cushion to dinner because the chairs are uncomfortable. A Bible study group that meets in the booths. That is a customer describing their own pain, unprompted, on camera, for free.Then Good Morning America, where Michael Strahan lobbed her a softball and she reached for a memorized line instead. The $700 million rebrand had gone after the logo — the thing that was not broken — and the interview never once went near the chairs.Chapters:0:00 — The Most Expensive Words in Crisis Communication0:18 — The Backlash, One Year On1:53 — "There Is a Lot to Be Optimistic About"2:19 — Right About Almost Everything4:02 — The CEO Is a Comms Major (and Was Probably Overruled)7:32 — The Glenn Beck Interview: The Hard Nos9:01 — Never Let Your CEO Eat on Camera10:14 — "Velcro Balls Against the Wall to See What Would Stick"10:59 — Denny's, the $15 Check, and Fifty People in the Back13:10 — The Booth Demo That Actually Worked13:20 — The Customer Who Brings His Own Stadium Cushion14:22 — The Corner of the Table14:52 — A $700 Million Rebrand of the Thing That Was Not Broken15:57 — GMA: The Archetype of the Softball Interview16:39 — "The Feedback's Been Overwhelmingly Positive"17:54 — "I'll Give You Another Sound Bite"18:58 — The Statement Cracker Barrel Never Made20:02 — The Remodel Question, and Why It Is a Bad Data Point20:43 — The Values Blind Spot21:57 — Taking the Bait22:23 — Where Molly Lands on Julie23:07 — It Was Never About the Logo

Religious-ethics scholar Liz Bucar, author of Beyond Wellness, joins us to discuss the religious roots of wellness practices, why bringing religion back into “spiritual” wellness spaces might be the key to promoting true well-being (even for non-religious people), and how the very human need for control shows up in diet and wellness culture. For paid subscribers, we do a deeper dive into how religion has contributed to Americans' troubled relationship with food and how religious foodways can also help us heal from diet culture, with some detours into the longevity movement, GLP-1s and the thin ideal, and more.   Liz Bucar is a religious ethicist and professor of religion at Northeastern University, as well as a certified intenSati and Kripalu yoga instructor and the author of the new book Beyond Wellness. Her popular writing has appeared in The Atlantic, the Los Angeles Times, Teen Vogue, and The Wall Street Journal, and she is the author of four books, including the award-winning Stealing My Religion and Pious Fashion. She lives in Brookline, Massachusetts.

If anyone tells you that they’re not even a little bit insecure, they’re lying, in denial, or both. It’s a fact of life that we all feel insecure at times - about how we look, behave, our achievements, and whether we are liked by others. In this episode, we examine the psychology behind common insecurities, recognise how we can be our own worst enemies, and consider the ways we can come to accept that we are all flawed, and might not actually need ‘fixing’. We unpack: • The surprising evolutionary benefits that come with insecurity• How our levels of insecurity change throughout our lives• The ‘liking gap’, and why we think others like us less than they do • How being insecure can feed insecurity, in a vicious cycle • Why people pleasing and over confidence are often signs of insecurity • How we can address insecurities that negatively impact our lives Watch on Netflix: HERE Follow Jemma on Instagram: @jemmasbeg Follow the podcast on Instagram: @thatpsychologypodcast Subscribe on Substack: @thepsychologyofyour20s For business: psychologyofyour20s@gmail.com Our favourite sources: https://www.bps.org.uk/research-digest/insecurity-leads-us-underestimate-how-much-others-us https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228079585_Self-Esteem_Development_Across_the_Lifespan https://www.centerforanxiety.org/what-is-hyper-independence-is-it-a-bad-thing/ The Psychology of your 20s is not a substitute for professional mental health help.

Welcome back! Today we're getting into some listener questions about how male/female friendships evolve when one of you is in a relationship, what to do when your relationship is starting to feel stale and your partner isn't planning any fun dates, saying thank you in a relationship, and if it's possible to be “too independent” for someone to want a relationship with you.We wrap up by talking about how to keep momentum early on in dating when you're not able to see each other a lot because of travel, etc.Read my Substack with ⁠⁠⁠⁠tips to avoid future tripping in a new relationship⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠As always, find me on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@mostlydating⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. And if you're enjoying the pod, please leave a rating & review! To have your question answered on an upcoming episode, submit it ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or email carleigh@mostly-dating.com. 

It feels like there's never a water break when it comes to seeking God. The journey to find God and know God is endless and full of unknowns. Today, we've invited fellow seeker and choir enthusiast, Father Martin George, to help us ponder the ever-elusive question: "How do I find God?". Martin, who is a priest at Kate's church St. George's Anglican in Berlin, is a theology professor, world traveler, linguistics-lover, and outdoorsman whose life has taken him from Minnesota to Switzerland and from the Lutheran to the Anglican church. Together, we discuss the value of learning from other denominations, how we can find God in coffee hour, and why the best thing to say about God is often nothing at all.

This week on the TABLE TALK interview podcast, Jeff sat down with former MLB outfielder Doug Glanville for a great discussion about how the baseball landscape continues to change. The guys talked about MLB banning AI in the dugout. They also discussed the analytics world that baseball is living in. How would Doug prepare for hitters when he was playing the big leagues? Were there any misconceptions about the Steroid Era of baseball that Doug played through? Plus, some personal stories of being inside the batter's box.

From there Hawk turns to what he sees as the deeper issue: the electorate itself. He argues that in 2024, voters had full knowledge of Trump's record, the attempt to overturn the previous election, the events of January 6th, the indictments and the New York felony convictions, and chose him anyway. For Hawk, that choice, not any single official, is the root of where the country now finds itself. He is blunt that he sees no short-term fix. His view is that the results reflect the will of the people who turned out to vote, and that the same dynamics will outlast this administration. Hawk closes on a personal note about why he has chosen to live far from dense population, and signs off wishing viewers a safe week.

It's been about a 8 months since I have done any sort of military analysis on my platform because it not exactly the best mental health exercise and two and half years of posting everyday was exhausting, but times have changed. I'm getting back into it because things are escalating and the dynamics of modern warfare are changing faster than a lot of people, definitely military commanders in the Pentagon, can keep up with. Also, other conflicts are poised to pop off across the globe. There is also a fascinating lack of acceptance that warfare has been democratized against Imperial military elements like carrier strike groups and large, hard-site military bases, which can now be threatened across vast distances by relatively simple and cheap munitions. Also we really don't have those because our defense industrial base is about making money, not about force-readiness. So the pentagon is now crowd sourcing to troops for innovative ideas to regain the initiative against Iran while being actively hamstrung by Data center vulnerability in the Gulf. Its tricky. Some Americans may cheer on Iran blowing up Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia and Palantir tech targets in Saudi Arabia and other GCC states due to their massive unpopularity here at home. Some people might get ideas. The information dimensions of this conflict are uncontrollable too so check out our Colonial Outcasts live stream episode about all of this tonight at 5pm EST on YouTube or our primary Platform, Substack.

Glenn speaks with Stacey Young the Executive director at the non-profit group Justice Connection. They have become the leading voice delivering the message that the assault on the DOJ makes Americans more vulnerable to violent crime, corruption, climate change, civil rights violations, and terrorism—while eroding the foundation of our democracy. And by providing direct support to employees, tracking the damage, pressuring Congress and mobilizing alumni, they're standing up for the Department Glenn and Stacey once served. Glenn discusses the nomination of Acting Attorney General of Todd Blanche.Find Stacey Young and Justice Connection at: www.thejusticeconnection.orgFind Glenn on Substack" glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
