Today Fr. Anthony covers Chapter Nine, "Cosmic Revolution" of Zachery Porcu's "Journey to Reality" on the problem of suffering and evil. +++ AI Title and Summary: Keeping It Real About the Problem of Pain: Free Will, Moral Law, and the Ministry of Presence Beginning from a memorial service and C.S. Lewis' Problem of Pain, this talk wrestles honestly with Ivan Karamazov's challenge, the suffering of children, and what our visceral reaction to evil reveals about the moral law—the "Tao" or Logos—written into our very being, which cannot be reduced to mere biology or sentiment. From there it explores free will as the costly condition of genuine love, the way Christ transforms suffering into a kind of sacrament, and how practices like fasting and the simple "ministry of presence" allow us to stand with others in their pain as living icons of the God who is with us in every cross and every death.

Episode 280 - The Tao and Ancient Rome

Dr. Dahl presented a Real Science webinar on heat stress on April 1, 2025. You can find the webinar at balchem.com/realscience. This episode of Real Science Exchange further explores the key elements of Dr. Dahl's webinar.Dr. Dahl talks about geographical differences in whether farms provide cooling for dry or lactating cows. Cows get heat stressed long before humans. Some farms are concerned that using misters for cooling will add too much water to their manure handling systems. He notes a study comparing conventional misters and fans, no cooling, and smart soakers that only provide mist if a cow is present. When the total amount of water (drinking + cooling system) was evaluated, the smart soakers cooled as well as the conventional system, but used the same amount of water as the no cooling group.  (7:08)During the dry period, a main impact of heat stress is a reduction in dry matter intake. However, there are dramatic shifts in immune function and effects on mammary development and redevelopment in cows who experience heat stress in the dry period. This sets the stage for lower productivity in the next lactation. In addition, there are many negative impacts on the in utero calf from heat stress. Calves from heat stressed dams are challenged from a growth standpoint, in addition to organ development challenges in the mammary gland, ovaries, and immune system. These calves are less likely to make it through their first lactation, are less productive, and pass their poor production and survival phenotype on to their offspring. (14:28)Dr. Tao talks about when during the dry period to provide cooling for cows. Spoiler alert: the entire dry period! He also notes that bred heifers should have cooling provided for the last 60 days of gestation as well. Laura asks about the impact of heat stress on neonatal calves and how it may impact their mammary development. More research is needed in this area, and you also have to wait two years to collect data from the first lactation. Dr. Dahl notes that observations from season of birth data indicate lower longevity for calves who are born to heat stressed dams. (18:26)Milk production is decreased by 8-10 pounds per day for cows stressed during the dry period, and they also produce a lower volume of colostrum. Calves from heat stressed dams also have a lower rate of passive transfer of antibodies from colostrum. The panel talks about why that might be, whether or not those gut differences persist after calfhood, and how that might be related to growth differences between heat stressed and cooled calves. (27:30)What about reproduction? It appears that heat stress during the dry period has a negative impact on reproductive function in the subsequent breeding season. Recent research has indicated that calves experiencing heat stress in utero have poor gonadal development and lower follicular reserves. In addition, placental development is also negatively affected. Dr. Tao notes that heat stress negatively impacts mammary gland involution during the dry off period. All of this leads to a decrease in cow longevity. (35:36)Dr. Dahl describes a retrospective records study using Florida and California herds to evaluate cows in their fifth through eighth lactations. In Florida, about three-quarters of those animals were born in cooler parts of the year rather than in hotter months of the year. The pattern in California was similar, though not quite as extreme. (44:02)Dr. Tao and Dr. Dahl expand on the economics of cooling cows, including return on investment and the costs of not cooling. The guests also talk about some of their research abstracts at the 2025 ADSA meetings. (48:10)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

A Joyful Opportunity On a certain level, we human beings are quite an accomplished species. And this is because there is a key part to our consciousness that is always trying to improve, always trying to make things better. We call this our striving mind and without it, we'd still be living up in trees, let alone in caves. But like every other part of our awareness this can be a real double-edged sword, causing us every bit as much suffering as it does happiness. But when it comes to striving, it so happens that we have another part of our awareness that is on a completely different wavelength and we're going to examine this unique level of awareness in our episode today. The Transformative Value of Making Effort To begin, I once read of a conversation between Ted Turner and Captain Jacques Cousteau. They were traveling together on the Calypso, and everywhere they went, they saw the same thing — garbage and pollution everywhere, forests stripped bare, and the ocean losing its color along with its sea life. Turner turned to Cousteau and said, "Captain, I'm getting discouraged." And Cousteau, as I remember it, responded with something like: "Don't do that. Even if we knew without a doubt that we were going to fail, and that our efforts would be to no avail, we would still carry on — and we would do it with joy in our hearts, grateful for the blessing of having been given the gift of serving the highest good." I have no idea how long ago I read that or where, but as you can tell, I placed it on a high shelf in my mind's personal hall of fame. The simple truth of that idea has never left me, because it brings up the essence of what is known in Universal Wisdom as selfless service — the act of doing something purely for the sake of serving the higher good. And that kind of action can be transformative on many levels. When we serve something larger than ourselves, the very act of making our best effort — regardless of whether or not it will succeed — becomes the place where meaning and grace merge. There's a particular kind of beauty in that moment when a person realizes that the offering of trying itself is sacred. What Cousteau offered Turner, and what is being offered to us still, is not merely an argument for optimism but a reminder of the sacredness and purity of serving the highest. Even when the world may seem irredeemably broken, the act of caring — of showing up, of doing one's part with the highest intention, even with love, if possible — has the power to change the very fabric of our own being. It can turn despair into service, and on some deep level, the river of service eventually flows into the river of joy. The Meaning of Effort This kind of effort is very different from the frantic strivings of self-serving ambition. It's more like a deliberate and wholehearted engagement with life itself. Although we live in a culture that tends to measure worth by results: grades, profits, likes, followers, medals and the like, there is a deeper truth beneath those surface metrics. On a neurological level, the right kind of effort can lead to a profound biochemical affirmation of purpose. Every time we take action toward something meaningful, the brain's reward system releases small waves of dopamine, which noticeably increases when we are engaged in an activity for the higher good. This is what neuroscientists call the reward prediction system. It's the brain's way of saying: keep going — this really matters.   The Inner Alchemy The transformative value of effort lies in this invisible alchemy: we are changed not by the reward, but by the rhythm of trying. Each time we resist the pull of doubt, resignation, or failure, we strengthen the neural pathways that connect intention to perseverance. It is the inner moral equivalent of muscle growth. Within the framework of neuroplasticity, the fibers of attention, will, and patience are slowly woven together through repetition and sincere effort. The ancients knew this long before neuroscience gave it language. The Bhagavad Gita reminds us, "You have the right to your actions, but not to the fruits of your actions." Krishna's counsel to Arjuna was not a cold command of detachment—it was a revelation of liberation: that freedom is born when effort itself becomes an offering, a form of devotion. When we engage fully, without clinging to the outcome, we step into a sacred rhythm of creation. In that rhythm, the mind begins to quiet, the heart steadies, and the soul recognizes itself in the very act of striving with surrendered effort. The Sacred Practice of Trying Sometimes we come to believe that trying and failing is our lot in life—that, like Sisyphus, we are doomed to endless futility. Yet the capacity to keep trying, especially when the outcome is uncertain, is one of the most noble signs of an awakened life. The Stoics taught that to love the effort itself—even when the result remains unseen—is to live in harmony with the deeper order of things. To persist with grace is not naïve optimism; it is a conscious alignment with what is true and life-giving. When we learn to love our higher efforts, our joy is no longer hostage to the world's approval. Instead, we begin to feel a quiet, inner strength in the act of being faithful to our own higher purpose.   The Neuroscience of Purpose Modern neuroscience offers an intriguing mirror to these timeless truths. Studies from Stanford, Harvard, and the Max Planck Institute reveal that when people engage in purposeful effort—especially acts rooted in compassion, creativity, or mastery—the brain's prefrontal cortex begins to synchronize with deeper limbic structures such as the amygdala and hippocampus. This state of alignment produces what researchers call harmonic resonance—a condition in which emotion and reason cease to be adversaries and become partners in coherence. This, at its essence, is what the NeuroHarmonic Method is all about: aligning the hemispheres, unifying the self, and transforming the inner world into a harmmonic field of peace. The effect is truly transformative on every level of life. A Story of Renewal Over the past several years, I've been a consultant to a halfway house for men in recovery from substance abuse and alcoholism and have been privileged to witness this profound change with many of them. The recovery process can often feel exhausting because so often, it involves the process of beginning again—to stand once more at the foot of the mountain after another slipup or setback. But once the neurology is in place, beginning again stops feeling like failure. It becomes an empowering expression of perseverance, expressing the resilience of inner faith in motion. With that change, each new beginning continues to rewire the brain and the days become less defined by the past and more attuned to the present. In short, the brain learns hope by practicing it. The NeuroHarmonic View From the NeuroHarmonic perspective, the right kind of effort is the music of transformation. The circuitry of the self begins to shift from fragmentation to harmony. The fear of failure grows more quiet and the higher mind, which delights in growth, begins to lead. The surrendered act of trying becomes a note in the great symphony of becoming—proof that the universe responds not to perfection, but to sincerity. The Gift of Serving the Highest The words attributed to Cousteau remind us that joy can coexist with uncertainty. We don't serve because we know we will succeed or because we anticipate the rewards of success. This is larger than just the striving mind. We act because we feel called to serve. To act on behalf of life, love, and truth—even in a broken world—is to affirm the sacred pulse of existence itself. The paradox is that in surrendering, we become most effective. Our energy stops fragmenting into worry and begins to flow as calm, clear intention. In this way, the wave finds peace by realizing it belongs to the ocean. And in that recognition, effort transforms into offering, and service becomes joy. Closing Reflection So, when you feel weary of trying—when the world's noise or your own doubts pull you toward hopelessness or despair—remember this: according to the universal wisdom of human growth, effort is never wasted. Every time you offer your best, no matter how small the act, something deep within you expands and grows. The act of trying is itself a prayer. It aligns you with the rhythm of creation, the current of compassion, and the unseen architecture of renewal. To make effort in this way—with joy in your heart—is to live as if the Divine were watching from within, and not only watching, but smiling. Because in the end, the one who makes effort in this surrendered way has already succeeded in the only way that truly matters. The NeuroHarmonic Perspective On the deepest level, neuroscience reveals that the process of making meaningful effort activates the same neural pathways associated with pleasure and purpose. The act of trying itself sends a signal to the brain that life still holds meaning. It's as though the brain whispers, "You are alive, and your choices matter." When we understand this, even small acts—cleaning a space, comforting a friend, or returning to a state of inner balance regardless of externals, become deep neurological affirmations. Each one reinforces a living pattern that says, "I am engaged with life. I am participating in something greater than guilt, doubt, or fear." The Higher Labor of Liberation This is why the great spiritual masters of every age have emphasized right action over right results. The Gita, the Tao, the Sermon on the Mount—each reveals the same paradox: that higher labor leads to liberation, and serenity is born through sincere effort. When we act with a purity of intent untethered from personal gain, something profound occurs within us. The brain begins to synchronize effort with meaning, generating a sense of coherence that modern psychologists now recognize as essential to well-being. It's not merely what we do, but the state of consciousness in which we do it that determines the depth of our fulfillment. The Gentle Nature of True Perseverance Now, when discouragement arises—as it inevitably will—it is not a failure of strength, but a momentary forgetting of this higher truth. And here's the wonder if it all: the human nervous system is built for adaptation. It can absolutely remember to walk on the high road again. That's why true perseverance can be so remarkably gentle, rather than forceful. It listens inwardly. It knows when to rest, when to breathe, and when to begin again. And in that transformation, we witness the remarkable miracle as the brain literally rewires itself for resilience, encoding the pattern of true inner evolution. And perhaps this is the quiet secret behind every genuine awakening: the recognition that persistence, when joined with grace, is not about merely enduring — it is transforming. The Company of Saints and Scientists To make effort without attachment in this way is to walk in the company of saints and scientists alike for both seek truth beyond outcome. Both are fueled by creativity as well as devotion. When a musician practices scales, a gardener tends the soil, or a recovering soul makes it through another day sober — each is performing an act of faith disguised as making effort. And the joy lies not only in successful resolution but more importantly, in active participation. In the willingness to be part of the unfolding harmony of life.   The Neurology of Wholehearted Effort As a kind of neural validation, imaging studies reveal that in moments of wholehearted effort, there is increased connectivity between the anterior cingulate cortex—the region responsible for emotional regulation—and the insula, which monitors bodily awareness. This means that surrendered effort literally harmonizes thought and feeling, creating what might be called a neurological symphony. In these states, time itself seems to soften. Effort and ease merge. The boundary between the doer and the doing begins to dissolve, and we experience what mystics have long described as unity: the seamless flow in which action, awareness, and presence become one. Neuroplasticity in Motion In essence, this is neuroplasticity in action. Each new beginning sends a small electrical signal through the prefrontal cortex, quietly strengthening the pathways of intuitive understanding. Even in moments of weakness, the brain begins remembering strength. Even when a certain part of the ordinary mind generates doubts, the neurons keep learning hope. That's how transformation really happens through faithful and surrendered repetition of meaningful effort. The Quiet Joy of Service And over time, we begin to understand that serving the highest does not require heroism. More often, it reveals itself in small, unseen acts of kindness, in quiet endurance, or in the patient willingness to keep learning. In those humble moments, the joy Cousteau spoke of—the joy of service—rises like a tide. It is the joy of knowing that life itself is the master artist, and we can be the masterpiece. For when we stop trying to control the painting and instead give ourselves wholly to each stroke, the brush moves through us with grace. Effort becomes art, and service becomes beauty in motion.   Love in Motion So if you'd like, consider this larger understanding — drawn from Universal Wisdom and now validated by modern brain science: real service is higher love in motion. Every breath that reaches for harmony, every attempt to mend what is broken, every act that restores humanity, is all part of a greater intelligence continuously unfolding through us. When we make our efforts with conscious awareness, we become conduits for grace. And even if the outer world never notices, the inner universe expands just the same — because nothing is ever lost wherever love is expressed through our thoughts, our words, and our deeds. Closing Well, this has been a lot to digest, so let's end the episode here. As always, keep your eyes, your mind, and your heart open — and let's get together in the next one.

If you are not paying attention to the Bittensor ecosystem right now, you should be. The subnets that power Bittensor are making some of the most significant moves that could reshape how the world sees TAO. With the halving approaching in December, we need to take note of these developments.

Let what comes come, Let what goes go, See what remains, The way of the Tao. ☉That just about says it all now doesn't it? However, as I also discuss in this report, we have a very powerful grand trine in water that includes a strong Mars, the god of action, in his home sign of Scorpio. The trine symbolizes a supportive flow of energy which is, in Taoism, "effortless action." This is acting in/with the flow of life, taking an active role in "turning the events." So, what has to happen is first of all, breath. relaxing and centering ourselves within our deepest core, feeling all the emotions that exist within and tapping into the flow of the subtle energy. If we are frazzle razzle dazzled, caught up in fears and misgivings or hurt, judgement, or blame etc. we will be blinded from, and incapable of, "right action." Let's all calm our nervous systems with a deep trust in life, it's beauty, truth and power. From this relaxed state we will be able to see the way forward more clearly. Lastly, I suggest not to do too much "future tripping." There are so many ingredients in the blender right now and the blender is at such high speed that it would be wise to wait a bit, keeping options open until the smoothie is done! Enjoy the yumminess of a world recreating itself starting with YOU! Sweet Dream (are made of this): https://youtu.be/qeMFqkcPYcg?si=Wpgu9xSmEm2Y_fXySo Much Love,Kaypacha☉

In this episode, “Death and Herbs: 3 Topics to Think About Right Now,” I explore how herbalism, culture, and nature can help us reimagine death—not as something to fear, but as a natural teacher and an essential part of life's cycle.As an herbalist, I've always seen the threads between life, sleep, and death. In this talk, I share how our nightly rest can be a small rehearsal for letting go, how symptoms and illness can be wise teachers, and how creating rituals around death can deepen our connection to life itself.We'll look at death through the lens of spirituality, healing, and culture, considering what it means to celebrate mortality rather than resist it.

Send us a textA new crew of superheroes, the Lake Erie League, is turning everyday systems into comic-book stories for kids and teachers to use in the classroom. Across eight origin tales, these northeast Ohio-inspired characters mirror very real aspects of the Sewer District's work, from massive tunneling machines whose creations tame storm overflows, to a miniaturized lab technician who can detect toxins no human eye could witness.We start with Mackenzie, inspired by the tunnel boring machine behind Project Clean Lake, who illustrates how infrastructure projects matter underground and on the surface. Spectra brings lab science to life with tests that our students can replicate in class, while Rover and Dr. Tao tackle sewer and stream inspections and the microscopic world of water quality. Botanica's story is rooted stream protection, restoration, and sustainability, and Vis and Overwatch round out the Lake Erie League with CSI-style adventures as seen from the field -- and above it.Teachers can request print copies of the new comic book for their classrooms and access the stories and activity sheets at neorsd.org/league.Meet the Lake Erie League creators:Joe Sieracki, writerMiguel Hernandez, illustrator

 Faith comes from the heart or from the divine and thinking comes rather more from the devil…Beyond thinking, there is love, God, Tao, eternity, bliss, Samadhi, Satori, ...If our mind is going in doubt or negative thinking, we apply positive thinking.That is like a pendulum for thinking… you give with positive thinking the pendulum the power to travel to the opposite side - to the negative side.Instead, to feel the negativity or doubts. The remedy for doubts is to develop faith, real understanding, and genuine love that includes everything,If we get a problem, we get also the energy to overcome that problem…But if we go in thinking we lose our momentum and our energy to solve that problem…Instead, just to do it..!!! Discussing will never help. Do It! Ignore your negative thinking and don't suppress it…Don't give energy your negative thinking. If you fight with positive thinking, you give your negativity energy.Bible: don't fight against the wicked…Watch your negativity and don't fight against your negativity.  The same is true if somebody is abusing you, - don't respond…Let him abuse you… Don't give energy to this… don't lose your energy…  For instance…I liked to have more fun. Instead, to go with some friends skiing I went with the Bremer University Skying group…We skied down an easy piste and then the Bremer ski instructors stopped and could not find an simple way down… So they were discussing the best opportunities even there were only a choice between two pistes and they could not know what was the easiest piste. After a quarter of an hour, I asked the other waiting students if they like to follow me, and let the ski instructors talk… Half of the group followed me … After some time, the ski instructor with the other part of the group did the same…The ski instructor abused me. How I could dare… Again arguing for nothing… Then the group wanted me as a ski instructor…  They solved the problem … I took the very beginners and the most advanced in two disparate groups. Faith is when you know only the first step or steps from your journey and start without knowing more… And so you live in the “here and now” and so you can decide at best! My Video: You can't substitute faith with positive thinking. https://youtu.be/wgwCLfNAvlkMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast1/You-can't-substitute-faith-with-positive-thinking..mp3

Spiritual freedom is not freedom for yourself, but freedom from yourself.  As you gradually cease to strive to get what you want and avoid what you don't want, life transforms into a harmonious unfolding of the Tao, where peace and joy arise naturally from being in alignment with reality. As you cease to be bound by the personal, —you come to realize the true beauty of who you really are. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer. All Rights Reserved.

In this episode, I share why I've been off mainstream media (and feel calmer, clearer, and more engaged), how I stay informed on my terms, and what the Tao Te Ching and Stoicism taught me about hope that does the work. We'll look at the “doom loop,” why outrage isn't engagement, and how to channel energy into real life—voting, volunteering, showing up for people you love—without pretending everything's fine. Along the way, I unpack a Tao passage that once infuriated me (“You can't improve the world”) and how it ultimately freed me: the world is imperfect—and we make it better anyway.

Sáng 1/10/2025, tại Công viên Tao Đàn TPHCM, buổi họp báo chính thức khởi động mùa 3 chương trình Running Man Vietnam đã diễn ra trong không khí rộn ràng và đầy hào hứng. Là sự kiện ngoài trời nên từ sớm, hàng trăm fan hâm mộ của chương trình cũng như các thành viên dàn cast đã có mặt háo hức chờ đợi được tham dự. Sau 4 năm mới quay trở lại, Running Man Vietnam mùa 3 được đánh giá là một trong những gameshow truyền hình đáng chú ý nhất của năm 2025. Từ khi rục rịch khởi động, tất cả các nội dung liên quan đều được các Runnie (tên gọi các fan của Running Man Vietnam) trông ngóng và chia sẻ liên tục trên mạng xã hội. Đặc biệt, thông tin công bố dàn cast đã ngay lập tức tạo nên top 1 chủ đề thảo luận. 7 thành viên chính thức bao gồm Trấn Thành, Liên Bỉnh Phát, Anh Tú Atus, Quang Trung, Quang Tuấn, Quân A.P và bóng hồng duy nhất là Ninh Dương Lan Ngọc. Sự quay trở lại của Trấn Thành trong vai trò thành viên chính của Running Man Vietnam Mùa 3 được đánh giá không gì phù hợp hơn, bởi những ấn tượng sâu sắc anh để lại cho chương trình từ mùa 1. Bên cạnh đó, việc tái xuất của 2 thành viên cũ là Ninh Dương Lan Ngọc và Liên Bỉnh Phát hứa hẹn cũng sẽ là những cây hài trụ cột cho chương trình. Mùa 3 với 4 gương mặt mới Anh Tú Atus, Quang Trung, Quang Tuấn và Quân A.P sẽ là ẩn số thú vị cho khán giả. Không như những buổi họp báo thông thường, Running Man Vietnam mùa 3 ra mắt trong không gian vận động trường. Các nghệ sĩ xuất hiện khoẻ khoắn trong đồng phục màu hồng, vô cùng tươi tắn, nhiệt tình tương tác cùng khán giả. Cùng với ekip biên tập, đạo diễn Việt – Hàn, các nghệ sĩ đã tái hiện lại không gian phim trường ghi hình, và khán giả tham dự lần đầu tiên được trải nghiệm những cảm giác vô cùng sống động, chân thực khi được trực tiếp nhìn nghệ sĩ chơi game mini trên sân khấu cùng các khách mời . Running Man Vietnam mùa 3 được phối hợp sản xuất bởi Forest Studio (Việt Nam) và Đài Truyền Hình SBS Hàn Quốc. Kết hợp với chính đơn vị giữ bản quyền, mùa 3 năm nay có nội dung bám sát theo format gốc và được sản xuất theo quy trình chuẩn của Hàn Quốc. Chương trình được đầu tư mạnh tay từ địa điểm ghi hình đến các đạo cụ để chơi game. Không chỉ vậy, chủ đề và thông điệp sẽ được cài cắm qua từng tập, tạo nên một câu chuyện có kịch bản và có những yếu tố bất ngờ. Trò chuyện cùng với truyền thông, Trấn Thành chia sẻ: “Tôi giờ cũng có tuổi rồi,rất ngại vận động mạnh. Nhưng ekip đã có lời mời quá dễ thương đi, rất chân thành, tôi không thể từ chối được. Tham gia rồi mới thấy, chương trình quá đầu tư đi. Mỗi một tập như một bộ phim điện ảnh. Có câu chuyện, mở, kết, kịch tính, hài hước, lầy lội…đủ cả. Đảm bảo các khán giả sẽ bất ngờ với dàn cast này.” Ninh Dương Lan Ngọc nói về chấn thương khi tham gia chương trình: “Tham gia tới mùa thứ 3 rồi, tôi cũng muốn mang lại những điều mới mẻ cho chương trình. Nhất là muốn đối đầu với anh “bò biển” Trấn Thành. Nhưng muốn đấu với kẻ mạnh thì phải chuẩn bị thể lực tốt. Chắc cũng “già” rồi nên sức lực cũng có hạn. Nhưng cũng như tinh thần của RNM3, kiểu gì tôi cũng chiến đấu hết sức mình.”Quân A.P, em út của nhóm cũng bày tỏ sự phấn khích: “Ban đầu tôi cũng chưa hình dung nhiều lắm mình nên chơi như thế nào trong chương trình, nhưng nhờ sự dìu dắt của các anh, tôi đã rất nhanh chóng hoà nhập” Quang Tuấn, vừa là thành viên mới, vừa là thành viên “hướng nội” nhất nhóm cho biết: “Ban đầu Tuấn gần như không nói gì, vì mọi người nói quá hay, quăng mảng miếng liên tục, Tuấn cũng không biết tham gia vô như nào. Nhưng sau những lần tâm sự, ngồi cùng với nhau, thân quen và chia sẻ hơn, Tuấn đã nói nhiều hơn. Anh Thành rất tạo điều kiện cho mỗi thành viên toả sáng.” Running Man Vietnam mùa 3 sẽ chính thức phát sóng lúc 19h30 thứ bảy hàng tuần, từ 4/10/2025 trên kênh HTV7 Đài Phát Thanh Truyền Hình TPHCM. -------------------------------------------------------------#8saigon #runningmanvietnam2025 #tranthanh #ninhduonglanngoc #anhtuatus #quanap #lienbinhphat #quangtuan #quangtrung #chicano

Send us a textGreg Logan: The Power of Storytelling – Turning Brands into BlockbustersIn this episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, we are joined by Greg Logan, a global leader in brand storytelling who has spent over 30 years helping the world's biggest brands—from Adobe and Netflix to Virgin and Qantas—connect with audiences through stories that reach both the head and the heart. With award-winning experience in advertising, television, and film, Greg has built his company, Narrativity, on a powerful idea: brands can learn the secrets of Hollywood storytelling to become loved, not just known.In this episode, Greg shares his remarkable journey from a 10-year-old fascinated by TV commercials to a top creative at Leo Burnett, where he spent 17 years shaping global campaigns. After a successful career in advertising, he transitioned to entertainment, selling reality show ideas to major U.S. networks. But when he realized that brands were being told why they should tell stories but not how, Greg combined his knowledge of advertising and entertainment to develop storytelling formulas that now help businesses worldwide emotionally engage customers.Greg breaks down the three keys to connecting with audiences through storytelling. First, use structure—every story needs a clear beginning, middle, and end. Second, make the audience the hero, not the brand. Your business is the wise guide that helps them achieve their quest. Finally, start with the customer's greatest tension—what keeps them up at night—and end with their greatest love—what they truly desire. By triggering emotion first, you capture attention and make your brand memorable. Greg illustrates this with a powerful case: a New Zealand water company that transformed its message from rational facts to emotional storytelling, landing products in Whole Foods and other major retailers.He also shares a deeply moving example from his work with a palliative care organization. Using his “quest formula,” they defined their purpose as “giving people their best death possible”—a phrase that brought everyone in the room to tears and perfectly captured their true value. For Greg, these are the stories that matter most.When it comes to technology, Greg has a balanced approach to AI. While he appreciates its efficiency, he cautions that AI-generated writing often sounds generic. His tip: use AI to edit, not replace your voice—and give it personality by prompting it to write like your favorite celebrity. He also recommends checking out his new tool, storytellingquiz.com, which helps businesses evaluate and strengthen their brand story.Greg recently released his book, Creating a Blockbuster Brand: Hollywood's Storytelling Secrets For Your Business, designed to give readers practical, page-by-page value. A book that has deeply influenced him is The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff—a beautifully simple blend of philosophy and wisdom through Winnie the Pooh.Looking ahead, Greg is excited about his new collaboration with UK-based BoltAI and their product, Foretold, which uses storytelling principles to help companies innovate faster and smarter by testing new ideas directly with consumers. It's storytelling not just for marketing—but for invention.Greg's guiding mantra during challenges? “Suck it up.” It's a reminder that as entrepreneurs, we choose this path—and perspective turns frustration into fuel.Connect with Greg: Instagram: @gregloganofficial | LinkedIn: Greg Logan | Website: narrativity.comBooks Mentioned: Creating a Blockbuster Brand by Greg Logan The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff

Tourpreneur hosts Mitch Bach and Peter Syme come to you live from Berlin! They attended GetYourGuide's Unlocked conference, where over 300 of their tour, activity, and attraction partners gathered from around the world to have a day-long discussion that will shape the future of the platform, and our industry in part. (Last year's supplier discussions focused on the need for curation, leading directly to a major shift in the platform's direction.)Peter and Mitch spent most of the day speaking with tour operators there, but when end-of-day drinks happened, GetYourGuide's COO Tao Tao said "let's grab some beers and go have a chat!" And we couldn't resist the chance to pepper him with questions.In an age of carefully scripted, PR-focused corporate conversations, we appreciated Tao's candor and willingness to answer everything we threw at him. Our questions were a little wacky, a little philosophical and extremely eclectic. But he didn't shy away from anything. And the result really exposes GetYourGuide's vision (and bet) for how an experiences marketplace should look in 2025 and beyond.This conversation is wide-ranging to say the least, and a good follow-up after our podcast in January (which is also a must-listen).In this episode we cover a lot of terrain:Mitch gets a little wacky with social commentary: Are reviews actually good for our industry? Are we all better off experiencing travel through serendipity and wandering, rather than organized, booked experiences?Pete notices an end-of-day discussion on "moods" and asked Tao whether GetYourGuide should be developing mood and feeling filters!Tao shares why they created a conference to show up for their suppliers, even when there's tough love in the room.We ask how, 9 months later, the shift to a more curated marketplace is progressing. Are we nearing the end of the process, or just the beginning?We veer into a strange conversation around which movie or TV show best describes the current OTA situation, and how GetYourGuide thinks about what they're doing as an organization that partially sets the tone for what tours & activities are.Tao shares how in the age of AI, product differentiation and curation will only get more important.We all agree our industry needs to grow the pie. But how? In what direction?New AI reviews and filters point to a future possibility where the right tour is surfaced in a more personalized way, and quality is assessed beyond star ratings.Finally, we get Tao's advice for new businesses and how they should position themselves in the industry and the platform for best success.And GetYourGuide is a sponsor of TourWeek 2025, our global conference with 400 tour & activity industry players coming to Charleston, SC for more meaty, frothy conversations!More show notes and resources on tourpreneur.com

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores how you can drop the burden of proving, performing, and perfecting and know your true value.Have you ever believed that your worth must be earned, proven, or validated by others?  Do you often find yourself chasing approval, striving to be “good enough,” only to end up exhausted and unfulfilled? Do you sometimes hear the voice of your Inner Child whispering, “Will I ever be enough just as I am?”David unpacks these questions and offers a gentle path back to the truth of who you already are. The Tao teaches that just as rivers flow and mountains stand tall without needing permission or applause, we too are worthy by our existence. There is nothing we must do to earn this worth. No approval we must gain. No role we must play...     Read the blog post that inspired this episode: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/inherent-worthOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

We start by talking about the recent deployment of Agent Cookie and how it is showcasing the utilization of multi-agent swarm technology to more efficiently produce content. We speculate on how these types of swarms can be applied to produce content that can reach a broader demographic outside of crypto twitter, also share our insights on the current state of the AI agent landscape now that the sector is down 70-80% from its all time highs. We then transition to the Bittensor ecosystem and how we think the launch of dTAO will play out. This is a moment we have been waiting to see manifest for over 2 years and if successful gives TAO the potential to be regarded as the ETH of this cycle. However there are several contingencies that have to be considered in regards to the existing market participant demographics and the probability of an original product emergence from within the ecosystem itself. We break down how important innovation and new narratives are for ecosystems to experience success in the web3 space. We've seen ecosystems that have good designs on paper such as Polkadot play out to not meeting the initial expectations set at their launch. We believe the cause of this is due to a lack of innovative products that were deployed that leveraged that ecosystems benefits and unique properties. Bittensor will require the same in order for it to stand out at the end of the day for it to achieve its unicorn status in the crypto AI landscape. Topics: First, discuss the recent deployment of Agent Cookie and how it showcases the utilization of multi-agent swarm technology to produce content more efficiently. Next, the Bittensor ecosystem and how the guys think the launch of dTAO will play out. and Finally, break down how important innovation and new narratives are for ecosystems to experience success in the web3 space.

A Note from JamesI've been on and off writing. From 2004 to 2021, I wrote one to two books a year, without fail. Since then, nothing. But I've been working on an idea: obsession. When I'm not obsessed, I can't do much—sometimes not even the basics. But when I am obsessed, I can turn that energy into real outcomes: a business, a book, a skill, sometimes success, sometimes failure.This episode comes from a recent conversation I had with the Ventura Labs team. We talked about obsession, but also about AI, crypto, and how those obsessions have led to building TAO Synergies ($TAOX), a public company on Nasdaq. I'd love to hear your thoughts: should I write this as a book? Reach out on Twitter or anywhere.Episode DescriptionJames Altucher joins the Ventura Labs Podcast to explore the link between obsession, creativity, and execution. From contributing to IBM's Deep Blue in the 90s to co-founding TAO Synergies, James shares how obsessions with chess, AI, and crypto have shaped his life and career.The conversation covers the philosophy behind decentralized AI, the rise of treasury strategies, and why writing down ten ideas a day can change everything. This episode isn't about trends—it's about frameworks: how to spot real opportunities, how to build around them, and how to know when obsession is worth pursuing.What You'll LearnWhy obsession can be both a weakness and a superpower—and how to channel it productively.How Bittensor ($TAO) creates decentralized AI opportunities at a fraction of traditional costs.The mechanics of treasury companies and how TAO Synergies is building its playbook.The risks and rewards of subnet investing, and how tokenomics actually drive value.Lessons James learned from failure, from HBO web series experiments to company collapses, and why generating ideas daily can reset your career.Timestamped Chapters02:15 – Introduction02:58 – What is Bittensor06:24 – AI background and Deep Blue09:34 – Chess interest and journey11:46 – $TAOX inspirations and getting TAO-pilled14:09 – TAO Synergies origin story16:57 – Reaching 100M and playbook19:41 – Treasury strategies and validators22:02 – Launching TAO Daily25:51 – Bitcoin adoption and involvement29:32 – Subnet investing and analysis30:59 – Token warnings and TAO demand35:46 – Subnet proposals and increases37:36 – Successful sectors and examples40:04 – Yanez and Metanova43:17 – Decentralization benefits46:13 – AI jobs and countering fears49:34 – Beneficial sectors: AI and stablecoins53:59 – Bryan Johnson documentary55:17 – Starting podcast and interviews57:14 – Interests and obsessions01:00:56 – Daily writing obsession and origins01:03:47 – Confidence and opinions01:07:33 – Company failures and lessons01:10:42 – HBO series and 3AM show01:14:26 – Hesitancy, regrets, pivotal points01:17:38 – Advice on time and experimentsAdditional ResourcesTAO Synergies: @TAOSynergiesTAO Daily (community news hub): taodaily.ioNaval Ravikant – AngelList founder and Bitcoin advocateVentura Labs Podcast (YouTube): @VenturaLabsPodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores the gentle, often misunderstood power of being humble.Have you ever thought that being humble makes you weak? Do you find yourself confused between setting healthy boundaries and being submissive? Or perhaps you wonder if humility and ambition can ever walk the same path? Humility is often mistaken for invisibility in a world that values noise, boldness and assertion. You'll learn how humility isn't about hiding but revealing our quiet strength. True humility in Taoism is not about shrinking ourselves or surrendering our values. It is about recognising our place in the vast rhythm of the Cosmos.        Read the blog post that inspired this episode:  https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/the-softness-of-humility-a-path-toOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

Speaking across the decades from the 1970s to the 2010s, Ram Dass shares his wisdom on the importance of resting in awareness. Ram Dass Here & Now is brought to you by BetterHelp.

We invite you to join us and share your curiosities, insights, and wisdom. Sign up for the General Fellowship to receive event invitations directly in your inbox.This episode of Here and Now is a compilation of Ram Dass discussing the concept of resting in awareness throughout the decades. We begin in Washington, D.C., in 1976, with Ram Dass exploring being in harmony with the Tao, the Way of things, and how awareness and love are really the same thing. “When you are aware without clinging,” he says, ‘And in harmony with all of the forces, you are no longer in time.” We move on to 1985, with Ram Dass meditating on the qualities of awareness. These are qualities such as spaciousness, equanimity, and love. He encourages us to become instruments of light, love, and presence. “Just allow your awareness to expand, to embrace everything you hear or feel or think.” The next stop is the Virgin Islands in 1995, with Ram Dass comparing awareness to the sky. The clouds in the sky are simply the passing phenomena of life. “Your whole concept of who you think you are,” he says, “All the stuff of ‘me' is all the cloud. And the cloud is being appreciated or embraced or carried by the sky. The sky is just awareness.” Finally, we end in Maui in 2016, when Ram Dass had learned how to completely rest in his loving awareness. He guides a meditation to connect us to the space of loving awareness, where we can all go for a swim in the ocean of love.

Learn more about Ram Dass, his teachings, and more at ramdass.org.“I would say my life is about awareness. And becoming or being aware. Because becoming's already a trip in the cloud. ‘I'm getting aware.' It's another one. ‘I'm washing dishes, now I'm getting aware.' It's just another trip, it's another thing you're doing. So, I'd say my life is resting in awareness. And into the awareness come phenomena.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Dinesh discusses the fall of Europe which he sadly terms “Europe R.I.P.” One of America’s great mathematicians, Terrence Tao, bemoans his department’s lack of federal funding, but Dinesh argues that Tao and others brought this on themselves. Dinesh reviews his exchange with a black woman who, strangely enough, accuses him of being too hard on the racist Southern Democrats of the nineteenth century.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You get a specialist who really understands the function of the gall bladder. He studied gall bladders ad infinitum, and he really thinks he knows all about it.
