Mortality and the End of the Iliad. Guest: Professor Emily Wilson. The final stages of the Iliad focus on Achilles' intense grief and the rituals surrounding death. Following the violent funeral pyre for Patroclus, Achilles organizes funeral games, which Wilson suggests represent his growing realization that all mortals are ultimately "losers" in the face of death. These games provide a new model for competition where skillful men can win prizes without the conflict ending in the destruction of society. A significant moment of reconciliation—or perhaps a "sick burn"—occurs when Achilles gives Agamemnon a prize for spear-throwing without requiring him to compete, acknowledging Agamemnon's status while potentially mocking his habit of taking things he did not earn. The poem notably concludes not with the fall of Troyor the Trojan Horse, but with the voices of three women—Andromache, Hecuba, and Helen—singing laments. Their grief highlights the future of enslavement and loss facing the survivors. This ending, marked by a humanitarian pause for Hector's funeral, underscores the poem's central theme: the universal struggle to accept human mortality. 1

Michael Hyatt is a bestselling author, leadership expert, and founder of Full Focus, a company dedicated to helping leaders achieve greater productivity and purpose. Joining him is Megan Hyatt Miller, CEO of Full Focus and co-author of their latest work on the power of personal narratives. Together, they explore how the stories we tell ourselves influence our actions, shape our identities, and ultimately determine our results. In this episode, Travis breaks down some of the most impactful lessons from his conversation with Michael and Megan, including mindset shifts, ownership, personal growth, and the role environment plays in achieving success. On this episode we talk about: Why the stories you tell yourself drive your actions and outcomes How separating facts from interpretations creates personal power Megan Hyatt Miller's journey overcoming a decades-long fear of public speaking The impact of environment, mentors, and masterminds on your beliefs How choosing empowering narratives can change the trajectory of your life Top 3 Takeaways Your actions are downstream from the stories you believe. Changing your internal narrative can change your results faster than simply working harder. Taking ownership of challenges—even when circumstances aren't entirely your fault—gives you the leverage needed to create better outcomes. Surrounding yourself with people who have already achieved what you're striving for expands your belief in what's possible and accelerates your growth. Notable Quotes "Just because you're telling yourself a story doesn't mean that story is true." "The victim story protects your ego. The ownership story gives you leverage." "When someone shows you they did something you think is impossible, your story about what's possible starts to change."

Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Sarah Henry about teaching counselling as a potential career path - exploring the transition from practitioner to educator and the skills required to support future counsellors. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss the reality of self-employment in counselling - examining what it takes to build and sustain a private practice as a business. AI and Regulation in Counselling Practice [starts at 03:13 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore AI and regulation in counselling practice, examining the developing regulatory landscape surrounding AI in counselling and psychotherapy, and what ethical practitioners need to consider before integrating AI tools into their work. Key points discussed include: AI tools sit within a practitioner's professional responsibility - counsellors remain accountable for how these tools are used in practice. The UK regulatory landscape includes medical device regulation, UK GDPR, data protection legislation, professional ethics, and evidential standards. Practitioners should carefully review what data an AI tool collects, where it is stored, how it is used, and whether clients have provided informed consent. The Shared AI Charter for counselling and psychotherapy organisations emphasises client-centred ethics, transparency, human connection, equality, and ongoing evaluation. NICE is increasingly evaluating digital health technologies, encouraging practitioners to look for independent evidence supporting any AI tool they use. Key considerations include purpose, evidence, data protection, consent, bias, impact on the therapeutic relationship, and accountability if something goes wrong. Teaching Counselling – A New Career Path? [starts at 33:41 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Sarah Henry about what counsellors should consider if they are thinking about moving into teaching and counselling education. Key points from this conversation include: Becoming a counselling tutor requires a shift from the role of practitioner to educator, with teaching skills being just as important as counselling knowledge. Formal teaching qualifications and experience of educational practice provide an important foundation for effective counselling education. Counselling tutors carry significant emotional labour as they support learners through personal and professional development. Maintaining appropriate boundaries is essential, balancing relational teaching with the responsibility to assess students against required standards. Tutors bring counselling theory to life by integrating real-world clinical experience and helping students connect learning with practice. Effective educators model professionalism, authenticity, and ethical practice while encouraging students to develop their own therapeutic identity. The Reality of Self-Employment in Counselling [starts at 01:01:26 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken discuss what counsellors need to understand about running a private practice and why counselling skills alone are not enough to sustain a successful business. Key points include: Private practice is fundamentally self-employment and requires business knowledge alongside counselling competence. Counselling fees must cover much more than client sessions, including supervision, CPD, insurance, administration, room hire, taxes, holidays, and other business costs. Developing business skills such as marketing, networking, budgeting, and client acquisition is crucial for long-term sustainability. Many practitioners benefit from a portfolio career, combining counselling with teaching, supervision, consultancy, or related work. Building a successful practice takes time, patience, and consistent effort, with referrals and professional networks often becoming important sources of clients. Surrounding yourself with positive, experienced practitioners rather than pessimistic voices can help build confidence and support professional growth.

By revisiting Jefferson, Aristotle, virtue, and classical learning, it argues that the founding generation understands happiness as moral formation rather than selfish desire, urging readers to recover old books, civic wisdom, and historical memory today...

In this solo episode of the Soul Inspiring Business Podcast, Kara Chaffin Donofrio revisits one of the powerful agreements from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz: Don't Take Anything Personally. Kara explores how this principle applies to leadership, business, relationships, social media, and self-worth. She shares practical ways to stay grounded, protect your energy, honor your boundaries, and lead from a place of peace instead of reacting to outside opinions.Episode Topics:The second agreement from The Four Agreements: Don't Take Anything PersonallyWhy other people's opinions often come from their own perspective and experiencesHow leaders can respond to feedback without absorbing it as truthThe importance of building self-worth from withinMorning routines, prayer, meditation, and grounding practicesThe “glass ball and rubber ball” story for understanding prioritiesHonoring boundaries in business, friendship, and family lifeSurrounding yourself with people who lift and inspire youLimiting social media comparison and protecting your energyA grounding practice for meetings, events, and meaningful conversationsInsights:Not everything someone says about you is truth. Often, it is a reflection of their own perception, wounds, or life experience.Leadership requires groundedness. When you are rooted in who you are, outside criticism or praise does not have the same power to shake you.Positive feedback can be just as dangerous as negative feedback if your worth becomes dependent on outside validation.Boundaries help protect your peace, especially when life, family, and business responsibilities feel overwhelming.Knowing the difference between “glass balls” and “rubber balls” can help you decide what truly needs your attention and what can be released for now.Your energy is one of your greatest assets, and protecting it is part of showing up well for yourself, your family, your clients, and your team.Surrounding yourself with people who lift you helps you grow into a more expanded, inspired version of yourself.Highlights:00:00 Welcome and Intro00:46 Personal Freedom and Leadership 01:27 Core Agreement: Don't Take Anything Personally06:45 Self-care and Morning Routine10:54 Boundaries and the Glass vs. Rubber Ball Metaphor13:17 Surrounding Yourself with Supportive People16:00 Social Media, Comparison, and Energy Protection17:55 Grounding and Energetic Practice Before Meetings21:34 Podcast episode endedResources:The Four Agreements by Don Miguel RuizMorning routine, prayer, meditation, or quiet reflectionThe “glass ball and rubber ball” priority exerciseSocial media boundaries and intentional screen timeGrounding and energy-setting practices before meetings, events, or conversationsThis week, practice not taking things personally in one conversation, meeting, or moment where you normally might feel triggered.

David Schoen was one of the lawyers Jeffrey Epstein consulted near the end of his life, and his account matters because he says Epstein personally denied that the July 2019 neck-injury incident at the Metropolitan Correctional Center was a suicide attempt. According to Schoen, Epstein told him that his cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, had caused the injury during what was described as some kind of “experiment,” “prank,” or jailhouse incident involving something placed around Epstein's neck. Schoen has said Epstein claimed he stayed quiet because he did not want to be labeled suicidal and placed under the restrictions that would come with suicide watch.The Tartaglione claim remains one of the murkier pieces of the Epstein jail timeline because the accounts shifted. Reporting and later records indicate Epstein initially blamed Tartaglione for the injuries, then later walked that back during an internal prison interview, saying he did not feel threatened and attributing the episode to insomnia or distress. Tartaglione has repeatedly denied harming Epstein, and an internal prison investigation reportedly cleared him of responsibility, but the episode still matters because it raises obvious questions about MCC supervision, the handling of Epstein's mental-health status, and why a detainee with Epstein's profile was left in such a volatile and poorly monitored environment in the first place.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Moving from wholesaling to heavy house flipping sounds like a natural evolution, but the operational reality can look like a trash can on fire. In this segment, the guys talk about the stark cash conversion differences between wholesaling and flipping, the brutal carrying costs of $100K+ monthly overhead, and a terrifying story about a midnight run-in at a flip site. They also share a $40,000 lesson on why relying on standard assignments can leave you exposed, and why they legally mandate concurrent double-closes (A-to-B, B-to-C) on nearly all of their Southern California real estate transactions.

What does it actually look like to not become a statistic? Dr. Xochilt Alamillo — Chicana therapist, PhD, business coach, podcast host, and retreat creator — is the living proof. She grew up in Compton, moved to Colorado as a teenager and experienced full-on culture shock, fell into the wrong crowd, and ended up with a criminal record by 20. Fast forward through community college, side hustles, three kids, and a whole lot of tunnel vision: she became the Latina therapist she couldn't find when she needed one most. In this episode, Dr. Xochilt and Jannese get into ALL of it — bicultural stress, emotional neglect in Latino families, what healing actually looks like (spoiler: it's not the cute Instagram version), survivor guilt as a first-gen cycle breaker, and how she built multiple income streams as a therapist while everyone in her field was taking a so-called vow of poverty.WE GET INTO: 00:00 – Welcome and Intro: Meet Dr. Xochilt Alamillo02:02 – Growing Up in Compton: Not Knowing What You Don't Know04:22 – Culture Shock, the Wrong Crowd, and a Criminal Record08:25 – Becoming the Latina Therapist She Couldn't Find10:24 – First-Gen Resilience and Why It Can Also Hurt You11:00 – The Biggest Mental Health Struggles Latinas Carry in Silence12:31 – When "Being Strong" Becomes Self-Abandonment14:05 – Bicultural Stress: Not Latino Enough, Not American Enough19:52 – Emotional Neglect: The Harm We Normalize in Latino Families24:53 – What Healing Actually Looks Like (It's a Process, Not a Glow-Up)29:04 – Survivor Guilt and the Weight of Being the Enlightened One34:37 – Navigating Family Expectations vs. Your Ideal Life36:45 – Why Finding Your People Is Non-Negotiable37:45 – Debunking Therapy Stigma in the Latino Community43:32 – Dr. Xochilt's Entrepreneurial Journey as a Therapist47:46 – Hosting Latina-Only Healing Retreats (Including One in Oaxaca!)51:22 – The First Step Out of Survival ModeKEY TAKEWAYS:Being rejected by both your culture and mainstream America has serious mental health consequences, and you didn't make it up.Anxiety in Latinas isn't just personal worry. It's your whole family's future sitting on your chest, and the weight is not yours alone to carry.Emotional neglect is one of the most normalized (and damaging) patterns in Latino households. Naming it isn't talking trash on your cultura but the first step to changing it.Healing is not a cute Instagram journey. It hurts. But the goal isn't a pain-free life, it's being equipped to handle whatever comes your way.Survivor guilt is real when you're the first to "make it out." Surrounding yourself with people who get it is how you stay grounded.Therapy doesn't have to look like a couch and a notepad. It's a conversation with someone who has no skin in the game.When therapy isn't accessible, lean into what your cultura already does well: cafecito with amigas, curanderismo, time outside — do more of it with intention.Therapists: you do not have to take a vow of poverty. Retreats, groups, trainings, and coaching are all legitimate income streams.Finding your people — online or off — is one of the most radical acts of self-preservation a first-gen woman can make.CONNECT WITH DR.

Doubts a senior police officer gave his employer enough notice about plans to run for the Labour Party. Commissioner Richard Chambers says he only learned of Rakesh Naidoo's candidacy on Sunday afternoon, and his position is now untenable. Labour says Naidoo told a supervisor of his intentions last Thursday and followed all appropriate steps. But political commentator Grant Duncan told Heather du Plessis-Allan that may not have been enough notice. He says Police should've been able to steer Naidoo towards low-level operational duties, and there are also questions around leave. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Each individual has a purpose in life.   I ask what legacy I want to leave behind?    How can I empower others?  Joel White asks.   An answer to this is debunking the myths surrounding men's mental health.   Men are fix, fix, fix.  Women tend to be better at listening, being intuitive, connecting, transforming situations says Joel.   Women in crisis usually find themselves in an ambulance.  Men tend to find themselves at the back of a police car with handcuffs on. In reality we need to sort ourselves out first before we sort it out for others.  "We are not in control of anything.  We have the ability to be discerning, take control of our own behaviours, embrace responsibility and accountability for our choices, actions and reactions.  It is a daily practice and it is down to each of us as to how we navigate these", Joel advises.
