Sometimes, no matter how long you've worked with someone, you have to be willing to let a client go. I discuss the emotional, financial, and psychological realities of walking away from long-term creative relationships — especially when loyalty, familiarity, and stability are involved.I discuss: Why letting go of clients can feel so difficult The fear of losing steady income Loyalty and why it's often undervalued Recognizing when a relationship no longer fits Why some clients simply want a different direction The difference between systems-thinking and growth expectations How letting go can open the door to new opportunities Why announcing your availability matters The mindset freelancers and creatives need during transition periods Why perspective shifts can remove resentment from difficult decisionsThis episode is especially for freelancers, filmmakers, editors, podcasters, artists, entrepreneurs, and anyone navigating uncertainty in their creative or professional life.For further information, read my Substack about this topic:https://open.substack.com/pub/philsvitek/p/when-its-time-to-let-go-of-a-client?r=2u3u2g&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

This month in book club, Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I dive into How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin, a bestselling mystery that blends small-town intrigue, family secrets, and a decades-spanning murder investigation.The story begins in 1965 when teenage Frances Adams receives a chilling prediction from a fortune teller: one day she will be murdered. Determined to uncover the truth, Frances spends her life investigating both her foretold death and the mysterious disappearance of her friend Emily Sparrow. Decades later, Frances is found murdered, and her great-niece Annie Adams inherits not only her estate but also the responsibility of solving the crime.As Annie follows a trail of journals, hidden clues, and long-buried secrets, she uncovers shocking revelations about her family, the town of Castle Knoll, and the complicated relationships that have shaped generations. What begins as a classic whodunit evolves into a story about obsession, envy, fate, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves about our lives.We discuss the novel's dual timelines, memorable cast of characters, red herrings, twists, and whether Frances' fate was truly written in the stars—or created by her own lifelong pursuit of the truth.We also share what we've been reading outside of book club lately.Upcoming Book Club Picks: Fight Club: A Novel - Chuck Palahniuk (June 2026) La Belle Sauvage (Book 1 of The Book of Dust) - Philip Pullman (July 2026) TBD (August 2026) Nervous Conditions - Tsitsi Dangarembga (September 2026) TBD (October 2026) Maus: A Survivor's Tale - Art Spiegelman (November 2026)

Every sunrise is a gift we don't deserve, yet one we're blessed to receive. In this episode, Chuck reflects on the meaning of sunrise, not just as the start of a new day, but as a reminder of God's faithfulness. No matter what happened yesterday, each morning brings new mercy, new opportunity, and another chance to walk with Him. Just as the first light breaks through the darkness, God's presence remains constant in our lives, offering hope, direction, and purpose with every new day.

I reflect on several lessons that have been top of mind recently, including why it can be necessary to walk away from long-term clients, the difference between resilience and adaptability, and why so many things we call “emergencies” are really just inconveniences.I also share updates on The Arbiters, including the creative freedom we currently have during storyboarding and worldbuilding, the behind-the-scenes documentary I'm editing, and the joy of building a small collaborative creative team before larger production pressures arrive.Along the way, I discuss: Why loyalty is often undervalued How openness creates new opportunities Adaptability vs. resilience The importance of learning the craft deeply Mentorship and creative growth The Helsinki Bus Theory Why most “emergencies” aren't emergencies Creativity, innovation, and modern stress Thoughts on the 2026 World Cup Reflections on my upcoming 20-year high school reunion The creative process behind The ArbitersIf you're a freelancer, artist, filmmaker, entrepreneur, or simply someone navigating change, uncertainty, and growth, I hope this conversation gives you something meaningful to reflect on.

Is it permissible to recite the Korbanot section – which discusses the various sacrifices – very early in the morning, before sunrise? On Shabuot morning, for example, when it is customary to pray early such that the Amida is recited right at sunrise, the Korbanot section is recited earlier, before sunrise. And sometimes, especially in the winter, it happens that a person needs to leave before sunrise for a meeting, or to catch a flight. May the Korbanot be recited before sunrise, when it is still dark? One potential issue is the Kabbalistic practice to refrain from reading or studying Tanach at night. According to the teachings of Kabbalah, verses from the Tanach should not be read at night, and the night is the time for the study only of Torah She'be'al Peh (the oral tradition), such as Gemara, Halacha, and so on. Secondly, since we read the section of Korbanot in lieu of the offering of these sacrifices in the Bet Ha'mikdash, and sacrifices could be offered only during the daytime hours, perhaps one must wait until sunrise before reciting the Tamid. The Halacha is that one must recite the Korbanot no earlier than Alot Ha'shahar – daybreak, the moment when the sun's rays first appear on the eastern sky – which occurs 72 Halachic minutes before sunrise (the moment when the sun itself appears on the eastern sky). Since it was after Alot Ha'shahar that the service began in the Bet Ha'mikdash, the Korbanot may be recited at this time – even before sunrise – but no earlier. This is the ruling of the Shulhan Aruch, and in Bet Yosef, he brings as the source of this Halacha a comment by the Rosh (Rabbenu Asher Ben Yehiel, Germany-Spain, 1250-1327) that the section of the Tamid should be recited no earlier than Alot Ha'shahar. The Bet Yosef deduced that all the Korbanot, too, must be recited only after Alot Ha'shahar, as the sacrifices could not be offered any earlier than that point. However, the Peri Megadim (Rav Yosef Teomim, 1727-1792) writes that if one is unable to recite the Korbanot section after Alot Ha'shahar, he may do so even earlier. This is based on a ruling of the Tebuot Shor (Rav Alexander Sender Shor, Poland, 1673-1737), who added that in such a case, the person should not recite the customary prayer asking G-d to consider the recitation as the actual offering of the sacrifice. Since sacrifices may not be brought during the night, one cannot ask that his recitation be deemed the equivalent of the actual offering of the Korbanot when he recites this section at night. The Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) writes that although it is preferable to recite the Korbanot section after daybreak, it is acceptable when necessary to recite them earlier, even though the Korbanot cannot be brought during the night. He notes that we are credited with having offered the sacrifices by reciting and studying these portions of the Torah even though we are not in the Bet Ha'mikdash, and it is obviously forbidden to bring sacrifices anywhere besides the Bet Ha'mikdash. By the same token, it is acceptable to recite these sections even at times when sacrifices cannot be brought. The Leb Haim (Rav Haim Palachi, Turkey, 1788-1868) writes that one who cannot recite the Korbanot after Alot Ha'shahar may do earlier, but this would be considered simply as reading from the Torah, and not as the actual offering of the sacrifices. By contrast, the Mishna Berura rules that the Korbanot section may not be recited before Alot Ha'shahar. Those who cannot recite the Korbanot at the proper time may rely on the opinion that Alot Ha'shahar occurs 90 minutes before sunrise, rather than 72 minutes, giving them an additional 18 minutes. Summary: The Korbanot section of the morning prayer service must be recited no earlier than Alot Ha'shahar (daybreak), which occurs 72 Halachic minutes before sunrise. When necessary, one may follow the position that Alot Ha'shahar occurs 90 minutes before sunrise, and recite Korbanot at that time. If one cannot recite Korbanot even at that point, then according to some Poskim, he may recite it earlier.

The “hard work” we fear is often far easier than we imagine once we actually begin. The real challenge isn't doing something difficult once — it's building the consistency to keep showing up over and over again.Whether it's filmmaking, fitness, writing, business, or any creative pursuit, long-term success comes from making one powerful decision: deciding who you are before the moment-to-moment excuses begin.I share: Why discipline matters more than motivation The mindset shift that eliminates thousands of decisions How consistency builds confidence Why professionals don't wait for inspiration The writing quote that completely changed how I view creativity Lessons I learned making Finding Love in Bogotá in Colombia How to push through the days when motivation disappearsIf you've been struggling to stay consistent, finish what you start, or build momentum toward your goals, this episode is for you.

I share a powerful conversation with Charles McCaughan centered around the art of changing your mind — why it feels so difficult, why we cling to beliefs even when they hurt us, and how much of our identity is shaped by conditioning, fear, and unconscious programming.Charles explores how thoughts are often mistaken for facts, why society places such a high value on “being right,” and how personal inquiry can become a path toward healing, growth, and greater self-awareness rather than punishment. Together, we discuss insecurity, ego, consciousness, emotional conditioning, therapy, and the surprising freedom that can come from honestly questioning long-held assumptions.This conversation touches on psychology, healing, emotional growth, self-awareness, and what it truly means to look inward honestly.Charles McCaughan specializes in muscle testing (applied kinesiology) and subconscious healing techniques designed to help uncover emotional stressors, limiting beliefs, and energetic imbalances held within the body.

Travel before sunrise into the waterways of southern Vietnam as we explore the famous Cai Rang Floating Market in the Mekong Delta. In this episode, we climb aboard a tiny boat in the dark, drift through a maze of river traffic, and eat what might be the best bowl of soup I've ever had — all while surrounded by a floating world that has existed for generations.Along the way, we step inside a pineapple selling house boat, wander quiet canals filled with wildlife and plastic pollution, visit a tiny rice noodle factory, and wrestle with a complicated question: is tourism destroying places like this… or helping keep them alive? From sunrise markets and river culture to electric fishing, invasive snails, and rats for sale at the market, this is an unforgettable glimpse into life on the Mekong River.Musical CreditsVietnamese Rivers by Audiobay, Tết Nguyên Đán Việt Nam EDM by VPRODMUSIC_Asia_BGM , Looking for A Way to Make It Right by P Richmond and Documentary Nature by Nikita Kondrashev all made available by PixabaySupport the showWant to support the podcast?

This week's guest is Paul Sanders, who returns after a long absence to talk about his latest move to seek 'still'. Paul spent years operating at the sharp end of British newspaper photography as Picture Editor of The Times, living among relentless deadlines, pressure, and the pursuit of tomorrow's front page. Somewhere within that world, though, he began to realise that achievement and contentment don't always arrive hand in hand. Over time, photography became less about proving himself and more about paying attention again. His pictures now are often shaped by solitude, weather, atmosphere, and the Cornish landscape. He speaks honestly about burnout, depression, creativity, and rebuilding a sense of purpose through time spent alone with a camera. We also discuss his new book, Still, which sold out within weeks of its initial publication. In the mailbag today, Adriano Henney discovers that his toughest critic may in fact be living under the same roof, David Munro is beginning a photographic project that lets him follow the beautiful game wherever his travels happen to take him, Glenn Sowerby finds himself among the black velvet and eyeliner of a Goth festival, our own Neil Ford is photographing people dressed in foam costumes while attempting half marathon world records, and Bob Demers, (Bob of the Desert) is asking the world to stop shouting! Read more about our photographic adventures on our photography travel website, The Journey Beyond. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week and Arthelper.ai, giving photographers smart tools to plan, promote, and manage your creative projects more easily.

Quick question, Thrivesters…What if thriving this summer had less to do with productivity…and more to do with intentionally creating joy?Because here's the truth:If you don't intentionally plan for joy, life will happily fill your calendar with Costco runs, errands, emails, and obligations instead.We are not doing that this summer.In this hot-and-quick Memorial Day weekend episode of The Thrive Hive Podcast, we're talking about the power of creating a Summer Bucket List - not a to-do list. Not another list of things you should do.A list of things you genuinely want to experience.Outdoor concerts.Sunrises.Beach picnics.Golf.Tennis.Outdoor yoga.Swimming with you kids.Dinner al fresco with your partner.Simple moments that make you feel alive again.Because thriving isn't always about massive reinvention.Sometimes it's about remembering how to actually enjoy your life.Here's what we're diving into:Why your bucket list should NOT feel like work - this is about desire, not obligation.The surprising power of intention - when you write things down, you start organizing your life around them without even realizing it.Protecting your joy before life crowds it out - because if you don't prioritize what matters to you, everything else will take over.Creating a summer you'll actually remember - instead of one that flies by in a blur of errands and exhaustion.Inside The Thrive Hive, we believe thriving means intentionally making room for the life you worked so hard to build.Not someday.Not when things slow down.Now. Your bold, quick action step:☀️ Start your Summer Bucket List today.

Show Notes This week on MSB, Tokyo is threatened by a menace from the sea! No, not Godzilla. No, not the lost undersea Empire of Mu or a stolen high tech submarine. And no, it's not angels either. It's cyber zombie skeleton horses! But it's not all doom and gloom. Domon finds something he's been missing, Rain gets through a whole episode without being kidnapped, Urube and Dr. Mikamura get what they want from the government (whatever that is), Nina gets to meet a new fave, and Thom gets to talk about Escaflowne. Plus - what's the deal with that building, anyway? Ready? Go! Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center.

Show Notes This week on MSB, falling rain is like the tears of the gods, bringing blessings to the thirsty earth... but no amount of water can wash away the pain of the past.

Sunrise with Scoots 05-15-26 by Big X Sports Radio 1450/96.1 WXVW

A cruise ship can feel like a floating city, but it gets a lot smaller when you spot your people. We're back with the full recap of the inaugural Rise and Run cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas, and we're sharing what surprised us, what we'd do differently, and the moments that turned a trip into a four-night running community meetup.We talk through the send-off at Pop Century (yes, Pluto shows up), the bus ride to port, and that first step onto a ship that feels more like Vegas than a quiet getaway. Then we get into the practical stuff you'll actually want if you're planning a cruise: buffet and crowd strategy on embarkation day, how the muster drill works on Royal, where to find calmer adult-only spaces like the Solarium Bistro, and what a sail away party is like when it's loud, long, and unapologetically high energy.From there, it's the good stuff: our group cruise run on the Deck 5 track (wind tunnels included), Nassau choices and the Royal Beach Club reality check when the weather doesn't cooperate, a medaling celebration inside the Pesky Parrot tiki bar, and the Aqua 80s show that had us talking long after curtain call. We also share what it's like to record a live podcast on a ship, plus the onboard chaos of Price Is Right Live and an escape room win.We wrap with Perfect Day at CocoCay highlights and a look ahead to Cruise 2.0 with a listener survey to shape what comes next. If you love runDisney community energy, running travel tips, and honest trip debriefs, hit play, subscribe, and then share this with a friend who'd absolutely join the next adventure.

Nicole and Sasheer have two differences of opinion this episode: one about egg puns, and the other about the funniness of a really specific part of Big Daddy. But that's okay! They also get into being called sir at the airport, Nicole's recent sewing party, David Blaine's magic tricks, and the struggle of buying the right hair clippers.

By sunrise, Tokyo is an "apocalyptic wasteland" of rubble and ash, with an estimated 105,000 people dead—a toll four times higher than the bombing of Dresden. Rescuers like Dr. Kuboto describe nightmarish scenes of bodies melted together in piles and remains floating in the rivers. On Guam, LeMay feels a sense of relief as reports indicate his gamble was successful and casualties were far lower than the predicted 70%. Despite the destruction, Emperor Hirohito and his aides continue to seek "one more victory" to improve their bargaining position at the surrender table. LeMay, however, immediately continues his campaign, burning out Nagoya, Osaka, and Kobe throughout the spring and summer of 1945. By the time the atomic bomb is tested in July, LeMay's conventional incendiary campaign has already destroyed nearly all of Japan's major industrial centers and secondary cities, doing the "heavy lifting" of the air war. 7/81964 LEMAY
