    Brian Tyler Cohen (YouTube and podcast host, “No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen”) joins Chris Cuomo to break down his viral sit-down with Barack Obama — and what the former president's message reveals about the Democratic Party's identity crisis heading into 2026 and 2028. Cohen explains why the interview exploded online, what Obama represents in today's media environment, and why cultural cachet now matters as much as policy. The two debate whether Democrats need an outsider populist, a centrist unifier, or something closer to Obama's inside-outside balance. They also clash over AOC, the squad, the filibuster, generational change, and whether the party can actually deliver for voters frustrated by economic pressure and political chaos. The conversation also veers into transparency, UAPs, media power, and what Cohen's alien question to Obama accidentally revealed about public trust. At its core, this is about whether Democrats can move beyond scolding and slogans — and present something voters believe actually works.

    Welcome to our Reveal podcast,Today, we're exploring a powerful paradox found in Scripture: the power of weakness.In a world that celebrates strength, success, and self-sufficiency, the Bible presents a radically different message. In Second Corinthians 12:9, the Apostle Paul shares God's words: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul even goes on to say that he will boast in his weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest on him.This theme runs throughout the Bible. From Moses doubting his ability to speak, to David defeating Goliath as an overlooked shepherd, to Jesus redefining victory through the cross, we see that God often chooses what seems weak by human standards to display His glory.Weakness, isn't about failure it's about dependence. It's the space where pride fades and faith grows. When we come to the end of our own strength, we begin to experience God's strength in a deeper way.The power of weakness reminds us that we don't have to have it all together. In fact, it's often in our most vulnerable moments that God does His greatest work.To support this ministry and help us continue our God-given mission, click here:Subscribe to our channel for the latest sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@revealvineyardLearn more about Vineyard Church Reveal Campus:https://www.revealvineyard.com/Follow us on social media!Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/vineyardrevealcampus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/RevealVineyard

Together, they explore why imposter syndrome shows up so strongly for experienced professionals, particularly travel advisors navigating pricing conversations, client objections, leadership and growth. Rather than trying to eliminate fear, Christine reframes imposter syndrome as a signal that you are stretching beyond your comfort zone. This episode dives into the role language plays in confidence, how fear is wired into the brain, and why confidence often comes after action, not before it. This is not about selling harder. It's about holding your value, trusting your expertise, and choosing growth over fear.

    In deze nieuwe serie podcasts interview ik sleeping giants. Dat zijn ondernemers met een omzet van tonnen, die toch weinig of niks aan marketing doen. Dat kan maar één ding betekenen: die ondernemers hebben een superpower. Ze zijn zó krankzinnig goed in hun vak, dat klanten spontaan reclame voor ze maken of steeds terugkomen. In gesprek ga ik voor de ondernemer op zoek naar die superpower. Want één ding vinden deze sleeping giants bijna altijd lastig: Hoe leg ik in mijn marketing in een paar zinnen uit wáár ik precies goed in ben? In deze aflevering interview ik ondernemer Ron Hubbers van GoPlato, die opgroeide in het naaiatelier van zijn moeder in Nijmegen, en had als 19-jarige al door hoe belangrijk een goed netwerk is. Hij werd opgeleid als salestrainer en vandaag heeft Ron Hubbers samen met zijn compagnon Bas van Riet een bedrijf dat academies, traineeships en professionele programma's creëert voor bedrijven en dat natuurlijk gegroeid is door zijn uitstekende netwerk. Ze zijn in 2026 klaar om harder te gaan groeien maar hebben nog geen knop om aan te draaien in hun marketing waardoor ze meer leads krijgen. Ze hebben bijvoorbeeld nog nooit een e-mailnieuwsbrief verstuurd. Ik ga met Ron op zoek naar de redenen waardoor zijn bedrijf nu al een hoge omzet maakt: wat zijn hun verborgen superpowers?

    Welcome to First Principles! This is part 1 of episode 52, the full conversation.Rohin met Utham Gowda at Spacebot Studio in Indiranagar on a Tuesday afternoon. Utham was compact, measured, and precise in the way he spoke, like someone who has spent years learning when to talk and when to listen. What's striking was how quickly he opened up. Within the first half hour of the conversation, you got the sense that this is someone who has thought very deeply about his own life, his choices, and what drives him. It makes for one of the best examples on this podcast of a guest easing into a conversation and then, almost without noticing, going places you didn't expect.The story itself is hard to believe. A vegetarian kid from landlocked Mysore, with no connection to the sea, no family background in business, builds a billion-dollar global seafood company. He took salary cuts at every job change, even after getting married. He has never owned a car and the highest tax he paid was in 2015. And his eight-year-old son, unable to get his father's attention any other way, started a fake company called Blackfish and would set up a little boardroom at home, just to have something to talk to his dad about.This episode covers what seafood as an industry actually looks like, why the last 1000 years haven't changed it, what it really means to build a global company from India, and what happens when a founder finally stops chasing money and has to sit with the question of what he actually wants from all of it.**********This episode was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN.Write to us at fp@the-ken.com with your feedback, suggestions, and guests you would want to see on First Principles.If you enjoyed this episode, please help us spread the word by sharing and gifting it to your friends and family.

From molecular biology to a PhD focused on communication, from catchy vaccine tracks to hosting Pfizer's Science Will Win, Raven shows how storytelling, music, and personal narrative make complex ideas land.

    You see over 5000 marketing messages every day. In 2025, hundreds of billions of emails were sent every day, notifications never stop, and research shows the average person switches attention every 47 seconds. We are conditioned to live and stay teathered to noise. But all of this keeps us separated from God. In addition, Scripture warns that men will render account for every careless word they speak (Matthew 12:36), and God Himself speaks not in the earthquake or the fire, but in the whisper. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose how noise is not neutral; it weakens men, fragments our attention, and keeps us from a purposeful life. Silence is not passivity. It is your strategic power. It is an interior dominion. It is the hidden strength of St. Joseph, the composure of Christ before Pilate, and the battleground where identity and mission are clarified. John and Devin break down silence within ourselves, silence before others, and silence before God, why most men resist it, and why the man who refuses silence forfeits confidence, peace under pressure, and grace.

Gregory Shepard, Founder and CEO of Startup Science, decided to tackle this persistent challenge with a comprehensive, science-backed approach. His goal is nothing short of transformative: to reduce failure rates and create a better ecosystem for entrepreneurs.Gregory's research revealed that 47.1% of startups fail within the first 18 months, with the remaining failures often linked to poor decisions made during that critical period. “There's no industry I can think of that would be okay with 90% of the people trying to succeed failing,” he explained. “I decided to do something about it.”Startup Science offers a centralized platform where entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, and support organizations can connect and collaborate. Gregory has worked to eliminate fragmentation in the startup ecosystem by providing tools, resources, and education—all free for founders. This mission is fueled by his belief that entrepreneurship drives innovation and can create opportunities for people from all backgrounds.Gregory's commitment to democratizing entrepreneurship extends to the way he's raising funds for Startup Science. He's launched a regulated crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder, allowing anyone—not just accredited investors—to support his mission. “If somebody invests in Startup Science, you're investing into all of the startups that we're helping, which is 100,000 of them at the moment,” he said.Gregory's passion is deeply personal. Growing up in poverty, he understands the barriers many entrepreneurs face. That empathy drives his vision to create an accessible, equitable platform that empowers founders to succeed while transforming the global economy.By leveraging his scientific approach to analyzing startup success and failure, Gregory is helping entrepreneurs avoid predictable pitfalls and build sustainable businesses. His efforts could fundamentally reshape the entrepreneurial landscape, enabling innovation to thrive.To learn more or support this initiative, visit Startup Science's crowdfunding campaign.

Gregory sees connections others might overlook, enabling him to create solutions that integrate fragmented systems into cohesive ecosystems. He describes it as understanding how seemingly separate components interact, much like a solar system where the founder is the sun and other elements orbit around them.Gregory's superpower was pivotal in building and selling Affiliate Traction to eBay Enterprise Marketing Solutions. He noticed that affiliate marketing—now a cornerstone of influencer marketing—was fragmented, with disconnected tools and processes. Gregory envisioned a unified system and developed software that brought these elements together. By connecting the dots, he transformed the industry and created a successful company, later replicating this approach with other ventures.Tips for Developing Pattern Recognition:Identify the structure of a system or process by analyzing its components and relationships.Observe how elements interact within a system and look for inefficiencies or gaps.Reimagine connected systems as an ecosystem where all parts work collaboratively.Practice applying this framework in various contexts, from business to social environments.By following Gregory's example and advice, you can make pattern recognition a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

    As global supply chains fracture, AI reshapes productivity, and technology becomes a core instrument of national power, India is making an ambitious push to redefine its role in the world economy from IT services provider to deep tech superpower.In the season 2 premiere of  TechSurge, host Sriram Viswanathan brings together three defining perspectives to examine how India is positioned to become a global leader in frontier technologies, and what must go right for that vision to succeed.The episode begins with S. Krishnan, Secretary at India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, who outlines how India is treating deep tech as national infrastructure. From the India Semiconductor Mission and AI compute investments to the new RDI (Research, Development & Innovation) framework, Krishnan explains how long-horizon industrial policy is being used to derisk private capital, strengthen domestic design and manufacturing, and accelerate commercialization.Next, former G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant places India's technology ambitions in a global context. As post-WWII institutions weaken and supply chains are redrawn, Amitabh argues that India's decade of structural reforms, digital public infrastructure, and global partnerships has created a historic opening, if India can sustain free enterprise, execution discipline, and state-level reform.Finally, T.K. Kurien, CEO and Managing Partner of Premji Inves, brings the investor and operator lens. Kurien explores why India has excelled at services and business-model innovation but lagged in core technology creation and what it will take to build globally dominant deep tech companies. From patient capital and university-led innovation to focused national bets in AI applications, biotech, and semiconductors, he outlines the path from ambition to execution.Across policy, geopolitics, and capital, one message is clear: India's deep tech future will not be decided by vision alone but by alignment between government direction, private risk-taking, and long-term discipline.If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.Sign up for our newsletter at techsurgepodcast.com for updates on upcoming TechSurge Live Summits and future Season 2 episodes.Episode LinksIndia Semiconductor Mission (MeitY): https://www.meity.gov.in/India AI Mission & AI Kosh: https://indiaai.gov.in/National Research Foundation & RDI Scheme: https://anrf.gov.in/Premji Invest: https://www.premjiinvest.com/Timestamps00:00 India's Deep Tech Inflection Point02:05 Industrial Policy as National Infrastructure06:52 Why Government Must Catalyze Product Innovation Beyond IT Services09:13 Building the Ecosystem: Talent, Research, Diaspora Return & Startup Scale13:10 India Semiconductor Mission (ISM): What's Different This Time24:56 ISM 2.0 Plans: Fixing Design Incentives & Unlocking Risk Capital27:15 IndiaAI Mission Explained: Compute, Data (AI Kosh) & Model Development33:09 Global Order Shifts: Supply Chains, Tech Power & Introducing Amitabh Kant41:19 Alliances That Matter: China, Europe/Japan Partnerships & Why the US Is Key54:11 How Government Can Take Risk: Fund-of-Funds, R&D Incentives, and Grand Challenges57:07 Dismantle Red Tape, Build World-Class Infrastructure, 01:00:57 Why Premji Invest Focused on Growth Stage (and What Changed for Early Stage)01:03:16 India vs US Investing: Where Returns Come From and Avoiding Valuation Hype01:05:28 Building India's Startup Ecosystem: Capital, Patience, and Core Tech vs Business Models01:13:41 Three Sectors to Bet On: AI Software/Agents, Biotech Breakthroughs, and Pragmatic Semiconductors

    Are we being left behind...Let's think about this for a moment.Architects have AutoCAD. Finance folks have Excel. Sales teams have Salesforce. The list goes on.But what do we as service design professionals have? If we're a bit cynical, you could say that often it's a wall of sticky notes (that the cleaners throw away at night).This brings up a deep and often unspoken insecurity in our field. Could it be that our work is seen as "fluffy" or "invisible" because we lack the "hard" tools that other departments have? That is the provocative question Maxe van Heeswijk brought to the Circle community recently. She challenged us to think about whether having "our own software" would help us claim our territory and be taken more seriously by stakeholders.But to which extent can a tool be the answer to our problems?Will Sharples joined the conversation with a different take. He argues that stakeholders don't actually care about our process or our "proper" service design tools, they just want their problems solved.So in this episode of Inside Service Design, we explore this tension between wanting to be "seen" as experts and the messy reality of getting work done in-house.This conversation is packed with spicy topics like:Whether having a dedicated tool makes you more legitimate, or does it just create new silos? Why our most important work is often the hardest to measure (and get budget for).A brutal method for stripping away busy work to focus on the assets that actually tell a story.And why you are "always selling" the value of service design, even years after you've been hired.So, if you've ever felt like you're doing important work... that nobody sees, this episode is for you.What do you feel is the service design tool at the moment?

    In senior roles, pressure is constant. Decisions are visible. Stakeholders bring urgency, frustration, and competing priorities into the room. You cannot control those inputs but you can control your response. In this episode of Grounded and Aligned™, Karen Gombault examines emotional regulation as a core leadership skill. Emotional regulation is the ability to notice your reaction, pause, and choose how to respond rather than act on impulse. It is not suppression of emotion, but disciplined composure. When leaders react in the moment — through sharp emails, raised tone, or visible frustration — judgment and discernment are difficult and conversations tend to escalate. When emotions remain steady, discussions stay productive. Karen looks at: How emotional reactivity reduces decision quality Why visible composure increases trust and authority The link between a leader's emotional state and team stabilityThe role of regulation in high-stakes discussions and negotiations A practical method to reset your nervous system in real time As responsibility increases, emotional regulation becomes part of the role.

    A Return Visit Reveals Restaurant Reality Just months after opening their doors, Amanda and Bill Whitson welcome back Valley Today host, Janet Michael, and SBA Virginia District Director, Carl Knoblock to share the unvarnished truth about launching Clem's Kitchen at Middletown's historic Wayside Inn. While the couple anticipated challenges, the reality of restaurant ownership has delivered surprises at every turn. Nevertheless, their commitment to quality, community, and scratch-made comfort food keeps them moving forward. Click here to listen to the September conversation. The Best-Laid Plans Meet Reality Originally, the Whitsons planned a cautious rollout—breakfast service only, with dinner introduced gradually over several months. However, customer demand quickly rewrote that script. Within just one week of opening in September, they expanded to full dinner service. "It's definitely not what we thought," Amanda admits, though she emphasizes the fun amid the exhaustion. This rapid expansion tested their team immediately, yet it also validated their concept faster than expected. Staffing: The Universal Challenge Throughout the conversation, both Amanda and Bill identify staffing as their biggest ongoing challenge. Unlike Amanda's early days working at the Wayside Inn for Leo Bernstein, today's workforce operates with different expectations and motivations. Consequently, the couple has built their culture around a simple principle: everyone does everything. Bill proudly notes that he washes more dishes than anyone else, not because he must, but because it frees his team to focus on food preparation and guest service. Meanwhile, Amanda reinforces this philosophy during every interview, making it clear that hierarchies don't exist at Clem's Kitchen—only teamwork. Furthermore, the Whitsons recognize that attracting quality staff requires competitive wages. They deliberately pay above minimum wage, understanding that employees who can cover their bills become invested team members. This strategy has paid dividends, creating a staff that genuinely cares about guest experiences rather than simply collecting paychecks. The Social Media Tightrope In addition to staffing challenges, the couple navigates the precarious world of online reviews. As Carl observes, one negative review can significantly impact a new restaurant, and responding requires finesse that's difficult to muster when you're "in the weeds" with cooking and service. Therefore, Amanda and Bill's decision to open slowly—despite the eventual rapid expansion—gave them crucial time to train their team thoroughly before facing the unforgiving court of public opinion. Scratch-Made with a Twist What sets Clem's Kitchen apart, however, isn't just their operational philosophy—it's the food itself. Amanda, who describes herself as someone who "doesn't measure anything," creates dishes that honor classic comfort food while adding unexpected elements. For instance, her twice-baked potatoes feature a crispy tater-tot exterior that Janet still raves about. Similarly, the restaurant's fresh-baked biscuits—which disappeared in just 28 minutes during a recent sausage gravy contest—come with house-made flavored butters and preserves that change regularly. Moreover, the couple prioritizes sourcing raw ingredients over pre-processed products, despite the additional labor involved. Bill emphasizes that while it's easy to source food, finding quality raw product proves much harder. Nevertheless, guests can taste the difference between hand-cut vegetables and frozen alternatives, making the extra effort worthwhile. A Menu That Evolves Initially unplanned, Clem's Kitchen now changes its dinner menu monthly—a practice that emerged from necessity but has become a strategic advantage. This rotation keeps regular customers engaged while allowing Amanda creative freedom to experiment. At the same time, certain favorites remain constant: burgers, wings, and the popular roasted chicken ensure that creatures of habit can always find something familiar. Additionally, the monthly changes help manage food costs, especially when catering events require specific ingredients that can then appear on the restaurant menu. Events: The Economic Engine Speaking of catering, Bill candidly acknowledges that special events "kept us afloat" during January's slow season. The couple brought their established catering clientele from their food truck, and now these clients enjoy the full-service venue with its bar and multiple event spaces. From corporate gatherings to weddings, these events provide crucial revenue that allows the restaurant to maintain quality ingredients and competitive wages during slower periods. In fact, Bill notes that in today's restaurant landscape, "you gotta do two, three things at once" to remain profitable. Building Community, Not Just Serving Food Beyond the business metrics, Amanda and Bill focus relentlessly on creating genuine connections. Bill regularly sits with guests, sharing coffee and conversation regardless of whether he knows them personally. Amanda has introduced personal touches like allowing regular customers to have designated coffee mugs and accepting family heirloom salt and pepper shakers from neighbors who eat there weekly. These gestures transform transactions into relationships. As Carl astutely observes, "Nine times out of ten, people come back for the relationship versus coming back for the food." This philosophy drives everything at Clem's Kitchen, from the warm greeting guests receive upon entering to the tableside chocolate milk service that makes children feel special. Looking Ahead: Spring and Beyond Looking forward, the Whitsons plan to leverage the four-acre property more fully. They're launching Friday night live music, opening their expansive patio (which adds 40% more seating capacity), and actively pursuing a farmer's market partnership. Additionally, they're exploring ways to highlight the Wayside Inn's historical significance, particularly as Virginia celebrates its 250th anniversary. Carl enthusiastically suggests that local economic development could help showcase this pre-Civil War landmark as a destination for history-focused tourism. Furthermore, Amanda dreams of eventually adding a small retail shop where guests could purchase house-made sauces, pickles, and Tricia's celebrated desserts—particularly that coconut cake that has customers asking to take whole cakes home. The Superpower of Execution When asked about their approach, Bill identifies their "superpower" simply: "We figure it out." While they acknowledge that preparation reveals blind spots, their ability to execute under pressure has carried them through every unexpected challenge. From the rapid dinner expansion to managing a 400-biscuit order that disappeared in under half an hour, the couple consistently delivers. Yet beneath this execution-focused mindset lies something deeper. As one longtime community member told Bill while shaking his hand: "It's back. Nice job. It's back." After years of the Wayside Inn lacking its heartbeat, Clem's Kitchen has restored what was missing—not through financial investment alone, but through genuine care, quality ingredients, and unwavering commitment to community. The Bottom Line Ultimately, Amanda and Bill Whitson aren't just running a restaurant—they're rebuilding a community gathering place. While the work exhausts them and challenges emerge daily, their focus remains clear: create experiences that make guests feel welcomed, valued, and eager to return. In an industry where many cut corners to maximize profits, Clem's Kitchen takes the opposite approach, betting that quality, authenticity, and human connection will sustain them through the difficult early years and beyond. As spring approaches and the patio opens, Middletown's historic Wayside Inn stands ready to reclaim its place as the heart of the community—one scratch-made meal, one warm greeting, and one genuine relationship at a time.

In today's episode, Sanjana Paul, the Executive Director of Rooted Futures Lab, shared how her organization is bridging the gap between technology and environmental justice to create a more equitable and sustainable future.Sanjana explained that environmental justice, as a concept, ensures equal protection from environmental harm, regardless of income, race, or geography. She shared a disturbing insight from Dr. Robert Bullard's research: low-income communities and communities of color are disproportionately burdened by pollution and environmental hazards. “A kid anywhere in the world should be able to breathe and not be breathing in pollution,” Sanjana said.Rooted Futures Lab is tackling this challenge by merging education, research, and action. A key initiative involves hosting environmental hackathons, where young scientists and engineers learn to develop technologies with environmental awareness at their core. “We see hackathons as a fun and community-centric way to introduce hands-on environmental education,” she explained. These events inspire the next generation of engineers to think critically about the environmental impact of their innovations.The organization also collaborates with students and researchers to reimagine technologies like refrigeration systems through workshops that focus on reducing environmental harm. Additionally, they are conducting research on digital infrastructure, such as data centers, to analyze their environmental impact and propose sustainable alternatives.“We should be trying to be better engineers,” Sanjana emphasized. “How can we build transit systems that get us from one place to another without giving a kid asthma?” Her work highlights how technology, when approached thoughtfully, can be used to address systemic inequities and reduce environmental harm.By focusing on educating future engineers, conducting groundbreaking research, and fostering collective action, Sanjana and Rooted Futures Lab are paving the way for a greener, fairer future.tl;dr:Sanjana Paul defines environmental justice and explains its connection to technology and systemic inequities.Rooted Futures Lab educates young engineers through hackathons to foster environmentally conscious innovation.Sanjana highlights key projects, including research on digital infrastructure and sustainable design workshops.She shares how her superpower, connecting the dots, enables her to bridge fields for positive impact.Sanjana encourages collaboration, curiosity, and deep thinking to address environmental challenges effectively.How to Develop Connecting the Dots As a SuperpowerSanjana describes her superpower as “connecting the dots.” She shared how her diverse background in electrical engineering, environmental science, and energy policy allows her to see links between seemingly unrelated fields. “These dots may not seem like they connect, but they really do to me,” Sanjana said. Her ability to uncover these connections enables her to address complex challenges, like bridging environmental justice and technology, with a holistic approach.Sanjana's work at Rooted Futures Lab exemplifies her superpower. While working in atmospheric sensing, she observed the devastating impacts of extreme weather events and pollution. This inspired her to connect environmental justice with technology, leading to the creation of Rooted Futures Lab. The organization now focuses on educating engineers about the environmental impacts of technology, hosting hackathons, and reimagining infrastructure to align with environmental justice principles.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Be Curious: Treat every moment as an opportunity to learn or teach.Think Holistically: Look for connections between seemingly unrelated fields or ideas.Engage with Others: Work collaboratively in a community to tackle complex problems.Slow Down: Take time to reflect on root causes instead of reacting to immediate issues.Learn from Experts: Seek knowledge from those working in areas you want to understand better.By following Sanjana's example and advice, you can make connecting the dots a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

    In this episode, Jared chats with Jack Mullinkosson, whose Chinese-learning journey runs from a Vice China documentary set… to living with a Chinese immigrant family in suburban California… to studying in Chengdu… and now biking from Chengdu to Hanoi.Jack got started the way many learners do: by feeling left out. On set, surrounded by Chinese speakers, he noticed how differently the foreigners who spoke Mandarin were treated. Chinese looked like a superpower, and he wanted it.With plenty of downtime during the shoot, Jack began studying characters and survival phrases, boosted by the classic “Your Chinese is so good!” encouragement (even when it wasn't). That early confidence turned into a full-on obsession.Then COVID hit, and Jack found a creative workaround. Back in the U.S., he made a flyer in Chinese offering to live with a Chinese family in exchange for helping their kids with English. The result: four months in a Rancho Cucamonga “McMansion” shared by multiple Chinese families, nightly Mandarin dinners, and a crash course in immigrant hustle and real-world language practice.Along the way, Jack:Read Mandarin Companion graded readers to build his foundationUsed shadowing to level up tones and pronunciationLooked for chances to speak—even when it was inconvenientTurned everyday errands into “Chinese missions”After a few years in Brazil, where he learned Portuguese and became a remote software engineer, Jack returned to China with a new goal: connect Chinese to his career. He now makes videos in Chengdu, capturing spontaneous conversations with park shūshu fitness legends, friendly aunties selling plum wine, and locals who light up when a foreigner speaks Mandarin.And one of the coolest payoffs? While traveling in Spain, Jack used Chinese to order food from a Chinese restaurant owner when neither of them shared English or Spanish.Links from the episode:Jack Mullinkosson | InstagramMandarin Companion Graded Readers

    Welcome to an enlightening exploration of consciousness and subconsciousness with John Kessenich, the Executive Director of the Academy for Guided Imagery on THE SOULFAM PODCAST with Diana . In this insightful podcast episode, John shares his expertise on how understanding the intricate relationship between our conscious and subconscious selves can lead to profound personal growth and transformation. A body worker for 15 years, John began his adventure  with guided imagery to bring a deeper healing methodology to his clients. John begins by highlighting the unique approach of the Academy, which focuses on teaching individuals how to relate to their subconscious self. He explains that our subconscious is a powerful force responsible for processes that keep us alive, such as regulating our heartbeat and breathing. There are thousands of subconscious processes that operate independently of our awareness. Our heartbeat, which we cannot consciously stop or start,  illustrates the depth of subconscious control. In this helpful, point-making interview, John refers to the movie "Pleasantville,"  starring Reese Witherspoon and Toby McGuire. In the film, characters live in a black and white world. Suddenly, emotions are introduced, bringing color and vibrancy to their lives in the film, changing the very landscape of their lives and bringing realizations and truths to their lives.   This illustrates  how the subconscious injects passion, vitality, and inspiration into our existence. Our conscious mind may be orderly and rational, but it is often the subconscious that adds depth and richness to our experiences.Diana Marcketta, the host, probes deeper into the practical applications of this understanding. She asks about the common issues clients seek to resolve, from career aspirations to more serious concerns like ADHD and traumatic brain injuries. John emphasizes that the disconnect between our conscious desires and subconscious resistance is a significant barrier to achieving our goals and how the Academy and its work to align the subconscious with conscious can shift the trajectory of your life.  Part shamanic journey, part highly researched science, the methodology of the Academy for Guided Imagery welcomes a new era of understanding, alignment and achievement for every facet of your life and purpose. As we as a collective wake and remember our true callings, the Academy is there to assist to the key alignment between our desires and our blocks. John shares some helpful diy tips to begin engaging the conscious with subconscious as well as his work with guided imagery.  THIS IS THE KEY TO TRUE MANIFESTATION. 1. **Breathwork**: Breathing serves as a bridge between the conscious and subconscious. By focusing on our breath, we can establish a deeper connection with our inner selves. John emphasizes the importance of consistent breathwork to foster awareness and alignment.2. **Free Writing**: Engaging in free writing allows individuals to bypass their mental barriers and access deeper thoughts and feelings. By writing without self-censorship, people can unlock insights from their subconscious that may otherwise remain hidden.3. **Interactive Guided Imagery**: At the Academy, John describes the use of interactive guided imagery, a technique that combines elements of dream and deep meditation. This method allows individuals to visualize peaceful places and engage with their subconscious in a dialogue, leading to unexpected revelations and insights.John explains that many clients are surprised by the insights gained through interactive guided imagery. They often discover a well of wisdom and perspective that their conscious mind had previously overlooked. This process not only enhances self-awareness but also empowers individuals to channel their subconscious Support the show@dianamarcketta

    Why Curiosity Is the Superpower of the Future

    Summary: this episode of On the Brink, Andi Simon speaks with Alastair Frost about what it truly means to be future ready in a fast-changing world. Together, they explore how curiosity—asking "why" and "what if" like a child—opens the door to new possibilities, and how reclaiming our natural creativity helps individuals and organizations move beyond comfort and complacency. Rather than trying to predict the future, Frost encourages leaders to focus on what is inevitable and to build the mindset and habits that keep them adaptable, relevant, and ready for whatever comes next.   On On the Brink with Andi Simon, we often explore one central question: how do you keep from getting stuck or stalled in a world that refuses to stand still? In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Allister Frost, a former Microsoft executive turned global keynote speaker and author of Ready Already. Alastair brings a refreshing and deeply practical perspective on what it means to be "future ready" in a time when change feels constant, overwhelming, and unpredictable. As an anthropologist, I often remind audiences that humans have always been innovators. When our ancestors harnessed fire, they transformed not only how they ate but how their brains evolved. We are, by nature, adaptive and creative. Yet today, many leaders and organizations behave as if stability is the goal and change is the threat. Allister challenges that thinking. Change Is Not the Enemy—Complacency Is One of the most powerful ideas in our conversation is this: we are not resistant to change because we dislike it. In fact, as a species, we thrive on it. The problem is not change itself—it's comfort. Allister contrasts two corporate mindsets from his career. In one company, the mantra was, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." At Microsoft, the philosophy was closer to: "If it works today, it's already becoming obsolete." That shift—from preservation to proactive reinvention—is at the heart of a future-ready mindset. But here's the nuance: Alastair doesn't ask leaders to predict the future. Instead, he invites them to prepare for what is inevitable. The Power of "Inevitable" Rather than speculating about what the world might look like in 20 years, Alastair suggests focusing on what is almost certain to happen in the near term. Budgets will shift. Technologies will evolve. Customers will change their expectations. Systems that feel new today will eventually become outdated. Leadership will turn over. Markets will fluctuate. If these shifts are inevitable, then the question becomes: are you ready already? This approach feels practical and empowering. It pulls futurism out of the abstract and places it squarely in your hands. The Frost Framework: A Practical Process for Growth Allister has developed what many call the "Frost Framework," a simple but powerful growth cycle that individuals and organizations can use to stay adaptable. At its core, the process begins with identifying what is inevitable and choosing one area to explore. But the real magic happens in what he calls three human "superpowers"—abilities that artificial intelligence cannot replicate at the same depth: Open: Approach your work with childlike curiosity. Ask "Why?" as if you are five years old. Why do we hold this meeting? Why do we serve customers this way? Why does this process exist at all? Curiosity cracks open possibility. Surprise: Give yourself permission to imagine bold, even ridiculous ideas. Most innovations begin as ideas that seem impractical. Let your thinking go big before reality trims it down. Tell: Courageously share your ideas in a way that invites collaboration. Replace "No, that won't work" with "Yes, and…" That simple shift can transform defensive conversations into generative ones. What I particularly appreciate is that this process is personal. It's not about waiting for the CEO to hand down the strategy. It's about each individual reconnecting with their own purpose and creativity. Humility: The Leader's First Step For senior leaders, Allister emphasizes humility. The higher you rise, the easier it is to believe you must have all the answers. In reality, the opposite is true. The future is too complex for any one person to control. A future-ready leader shifts from being a "know-it-all" to being a "learn-it-all." That humility not only relieves pressure—it unlocks collective intelligence across the organization. As I often say, humans are copycats. If leaders model curiosity, openness, and experimentation, others will follow. Reclaiming Your Creative Mind One of the most striking moments in our conversation was when Alastair described how people physically shrink when he mentions creativity. "I'm not creative," they say. But if you can daydream, you are creative. Creativity isn't confined to a whiteboard in a dark conference room. It happens on morning walks, in the quiet moments between sleep and waking, in conversations where someone asks "What if?" In fact, one of my favorite stories from our discussion involved a sales leader who realized that every time a client asked "What if?" he had ignored it. Yet that's where the opportunity lived. He returned home and built an entirely new "What If" sales process. That's the shift—from defending the status quo to exploring possibility. Ready Already In a time when so many feel overwhelmed by uncertainty, this episode is a reminder that you do not need to predict the future. You need to prepare your mindset. Be curious. Focus on what is inevitable. Use your uniquely human superpowers. Lead with humility. Ask "What if?" The times are changing. But they always have. The question is not whether change will come. The question is: are you ready already?

    In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Jack Wolfson, board-certified cardiologist and founder of Natural Heart Doctor, to challenge everything you think you know about heart disease. You'll discover why the "100-year heart" isn't a myth but a design principle. They unpack how true health is built through eat well, live well, think well — and why testing, not guessing, changes everything.   You'll learn why lowering cholesterol or blood pressure with medication isn't the same as addressing root causes. Dr. Wolfson explains the real role of inflammation, oxidative stress, metabolic health, and advanced biomarkers in cardiovascular risk. They also discuss fasting, nutrient-dense ancestral nutrition, and why seafood and organ meats play a powerful role in heart longevity.   You'll also explore overlooked drivers of heart disease, including sleep quality, sunlight exposure, mold toxicity, oral health, nervous system alignment, and mental well-being. The conversation reveals how purpose, community, and emotional resilience directly impact cardiovascular outcomes. This episode reframes heart health as a whole-life strategy, not just a lab number.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction: The Myth of Sudden Health Decline 00:26 Welcome Back: Introducing Dr. Jack Wolfson 00:57 The 100 Year Heart: A Natural Approach to Cardiovascular Health 04:05 Conventional Medicine vs. Natural Health 07:51 The Importance of Lab Testing and Biomarkers 14:07 Optimal Nutrition for Heart Health 19:11 Lifestyle Strategies for Longevity 25:28 The Power of Positive Thinking and Community 29:12 Conclusion: Resources and Final Thoughts   If you want practical, natural strategies to balance your hormones, heal your gut, boost your energy, and slow aging, don't miss The Dr. Josh Axe Show.
