In this episode, Steve Lentini discusses the energy wasted on complaints and grievances, emphasizing the importance of focusing on what we truly want in life. He introduces concepts from his books, advocating for limitless thinking and self-awareness. Lentini encourages listeners to let go of what they cannot control and to engage in acts of kindness, highlighting that the good we do matters in the grand scheme of life.Get over your "self." Try it and prove it to yourself that you don't have to believe your thinking.Gratefully Yours, Steve

In the beginning was Mind. Not matter. Not energy. Not even space or time. Pure, infinite, eternal Mind - what the ancient Hermetic masters called The All. Imagine, if you can, a consciousness so vast that entire galaxies are but fleeting thoughts... where the birth and death of stars happen in the space between heartbeats... where countless universes bloom and fade like flowers in an endless cosmic garden. This is The All. The Divine Mind. The eternal Thinker. And here's the secret that changes everything: You are not separate from this Mind. You ARE this Mind, experiencing itself through the lens of individuality. The All creates through thought, just as you create entire worlds in your imagination. But unlike human thought, which flickers and fades, the thoughts of The All are sustained by infinite concentration, infinite will, infinite love. Every mountain, every ocean, every beating heart - these are thoughts in the Mind of God, held in perfect focus across eons of time. And you? You are both the thinker and the thought. You participate in the very nature of the Divine Consciousness. You are an instrument through which The All experiences itself, knows itself, creates itself anew in every moment.When you think, The All thinks through you. When you imagine, The All imagines through you. When you create, you are Divine Mind in action.

In this episode we are joined by Dr. Mark Epstein - psychiatrist, author, and pioneer in integrating Buddhist psychology with Western psychotherapy. With decades of experience, Mark has transformed how we understand the mind, self, and emotional healing. His books, including Thoughts Without a Thinker, Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart, Open to Desire, The Trauma of Everyday Life, and The Zen of Therapy offer a profound synthesis of Eastern spiritual insight and Western psychological depth. Influenced by teachers like Ram Dass, Jack Kornfield, and Joseph Goldstein, Mark shows us how, psychotherapy, mindfulness, and compassion can lead to deeper self-awareness.In our conversation, we dive into Mark's journey, how both Buddhism and Western psychology can illuminate the stories we live by. We also discuss his connection to Joseph Campbell, and how myth can serve as a powerful vehicle for self-discovery and personal growth.For more information about Mark and his work visit http://markepsteinmd.com/ For more information on the MythMaker Podcast Network and Joseph Campbell, visit JCF.org.

I have had a meditation practice for about 15 years now. I started hoping it would calm me down, and it has. But it's also made me more aware of the strangeness of my mind. Certain thoughts emerge seemingly out of nowhere. Many of them return again and again. Why? And what relationship should you have to your thoughts when you realize you're not the one controlling them?Mark Epstein is a psychiatrist and also a Buddhist. He's spent decades observing the mind through those two distinct traditions, and has written many books that helped build a bridge between them, from his 1995 landmark book, “Thoughts Without a Thinker,” to his latest work, “The Zen of Therapy.” So I thought it would be interesting to talk to him about what he's learned about the mind after all these decades of observing it.Mentioned:Open to Desire by Mark EpsteinBook Recommendations:John & Paul by Ian LeslieEssays After Eighty by Donald HallKairos by Jenny ErpenbeckThoughts?

Join us at the Institute for the Study of Feminine Myth--$10 "Thinker's Tavern" sessions on Thursdays in July!https://instituteforfemininemyth.org/thinkers-tavern This week's podcast is about Libitina, Roman goddess of funerals, corpses, and burials. We discuss the debated etymology of her name--is she connected to Venus and to voluptuous pleasure, or is that an error? Varro connects Libitina to "libido", and we also need to consider the ancient Etruscan goddess Alpanu, who is said to be Libitina's forerunner. What we may find is a different attitude toward the connection between life and death.

Join us for Thinker's Tavern on Thursdays 6:30 EST; details at  https://instituteforfemininemyth.org/thinkers-tavernThis week's episode looks at Semiramis, the legendary Queen of the Assyrian Empire who is said to have taken over as regent when her husband died, and until her son came of age. Semiramis is the Greek name of the queen Shammuramat, and her history is controversial. Roman historians and geographers credit her with many architectural achievements, conquest of the Armenians, and stabilizing a crumbling empire after a civil war. Not surprisingly, other stories portray her as a lustful, power-hungry seductress. We look at what is written about Semiramis, and discuss the "threat" of the powerful, competent woman in patriarchal narratives. 

Dave Iben is the founder and CIO of Kopernik GlobalInvestors, a $6bn global value investment shop which prides itself on independent thought and is comfortable with contrarian positions.Steve invited Dave on the podcast because at a recent NewYork conference, Dave was cheerleading that value was back, and Steve wanted to discuss the rationale for his enthusiasm, given value's massive underperformance in the last 15 years. Luckily Dave was spending the summer in London looking for cheap UK stocks, and they could record in person.

No, I'm not amused. Today's Trump vs Musk social media wrestling fiasco is one more example of how digital media is actually bemusing ourselves to death. Walter Lippmann, the brilliant but emotionally detached journalist who coined the term "stereotype," foresaw this nightmare a century ago. Lippmann's intellectual biographer Tom Arnold-Forster explains how Lippmann's theories about "manufactured consent" and the manipulation of public opinion by media barons anticipated everything from the Trump-Musk social media feuds to dehumanizing AI-generated content. Lippmann identified democracy's central paradox: we need informed citizens to self-govern, yet the modern world is too complex for anyone to fully understand. His 1919 warning is even truer today: "The present crisis of Western democracy is a crisis in journalism." Five Key Takeaways * Democracy's Impossible Paradox: Lippmann identified that modern democracy demands citizens make informed decisions about a world too complex for anyone—even experts—to fully understand. We're stuck needing public opinion to govern while being unable to form truly informed opinions.* The Stereotype Machine: Lippmann literally invented the modern concept of "stereotype" as a way information gets simplified and transmitted between people. He'd likely see AI as the ultimate "stereotype machine"—endlessly reproducing the most probable combinations rather than generating new insights.* Manufactured Consent Crisis: His core warning was that when consent-manufacturing becomes "unregulated private enterprise" (think Hearst then, Musk now), democracy itself is threatened. The solution isn't eliminating commercial media but professionalizing journalism within it.* Expertise Must Serve Democracy: Despite being labeled an elitist, Lippmann actually argued that expertise should ultimately be subject to democratic control. He attacked anti-democratic "experts" like eugenicist Lewis Terman as frauds.* Journalism = Democracy: Lippmann's most prescient insight: "The present crisis of Western democracy is in an exact sense a crisis in journalism." Today's democratic struggles are inseparable from our information crisis—fake news, social media manipulation, and the collapse of trusted news sources.Tom Arnold-Forster is the Kinder Career Development Fellow in Atlantic History at the University of Oxford's Rothermere American Institute.

* Check out the new Thinker's Tavern discussion series athttps://www.instituteforfemininemyth.org/thinkers-tavern  *This week's podcast looks at the figure of Hermaphroditus, son of Hermes (Mercury) and Aphrodite (Venus), and his encounter with the aggressive nymph Salmacis, her prayer turning them into a single being that is both male and female and neither at the same time. While Salmacis is often viewed as an aggressive woman attacking an innocent boy, an inscription at Salmacis' pool in Halicarnassus suggests a very different view of the myth. We explore the idea of the Hermaphrodite as representing the bonds of marriage and ideas about marriage, as well as its connection to Plato's myth of the proto-human in the Symposium. The articles referenced in the podcast were:Kelly, Peter.

https://youtu.be/_FFUS8tb-b4 Michael E. Gerber, author of The E-Myth Revisited and over 35 other books, is driven by a mission to transform the state of small business, entrepreneurship, and economic development worldwide. We explore Michael's origin story and the moment that sparked the E-Myth movement, including his revelation that most business owners don't understand their own businesses. He shares how his intuitive and soul-driven approach led to the creation of the first business operating system and the now-iconic principle of “working on your business, not in it.” Michael introduces his Eightfold Path Framework, built on the eight discrete personalities of an entrepreneur: The Dreamer, Thinker, Storyteller, Leader, Designer, Builder, Launcher, and Grower. We also discuss his Dreaming Room methodology, the Radical You 5-year entrepreneurial school, and how AI is enabling the creation of 199 vertical-market E-Myth books. --- Awaken Your Inner Entrepreneur with Michael E. Gerber Good day, dear listeners. So guess who I have here as my guest today. After five years, we finally got to the day when I can interview Michael E. Gerber, who is the author of the E-Myth Revisited, E-Myth Mastery and 35 other best-selling books that have sold over 5 million copies in 30 languages and 150 countries. Michael was the original mastermind behind the concept of the first business operating system back in 1986. And he coined the idea of Working On Your Business, Rather Than In Your Business, which idea touched at least 100 million entrepreneurs worldwide. So Michael is also currently the founder at age 88, almost 89. He is the founder and CEO of the Michael E. Gerber companies, owning programs including Gerber Works, Radical You, Become The One, and The Dreaming Room most recently, and he owns the rights to 35 E-Myth books. So Michael, without further ado, welcome to the Management Blueprint Podcast. I'm delighted to be here. Thank you, Steve. I'm so excited because really, I read your book back in the early 2000s. I got immediately smitten. I actually started a side business trying to implement your system without any training from you, which unfortunately was not successful. So I had to close down my side business, but we definitely implemented it in my own business. And I was just very enamored. I also got a dog-eared copy of E-Myth Mastery, which is like a big volume, and I kind of went through all the ideas there. And finally, to have you be a guest is a great honor, and it's a very exciting day. I'm delighted to be here. Thank you. So, Michael, I'm going to start with my favorite question, even though you are like a super guest here, but tell me about your personal “Why” and how it influenced your life and how it got you where you are at age 88, almost 89, still going strong, still being an entrepreneur. So, what was that “Why” that you had and have? Well, I have said it so many times, it's to transform the state of small business worldwide. To transform the state of small business worldwide. I can almost dance to it because that is what I've been working on all these years. And in the heart of that is to transform the state of entrepreneurship worldwide. And in the process of accomplishing each of those to transform the state of economic development worldwide. Because were I capable of doing the first in order to do the second, I would absolutely achieve that result, economic development worldwide.Share on X And within that resides the spirit of all that, but you know all about that. Well, I mean, I know as much as you've written down and as much as you told me, I definitely know that part. I don't know what's going on in your mind because you're still being creative. You're still developing programs, which is amazing to me. I like to be like you when I get to your age. It's definitely awesome. So tell me about the beginning. What prompted you to write the E-Myth?

Marc Hustvedt shares insights from helping to scale Mr. Beast to 350 million YouTube subscribers and building a global creator brand, revealing the unique combination of traits that separates extraordinary creators from everyone else.  Check out Contrarian Thinking and Codie Sanchez to learn more about Marc's current work helping people buy and grow small businesses.• Creator-led businesses eliminate the power imbalance found in traditional media• The most successful YouTube integrations feel natural and appeal to the global audience• Small, targeted audiences of 10,000 engaged followers can build lucrative businesses• The future of media belongs to individual creators who own their businesses• Work ethic and obsessive dedication to the craft set apart successful creators• Jimmy Donaldson (Mr. Beast) studied YouTube content for years before finding success• High appetite for risk and willingness to bet on yourself is critical• Single-minded focus on "making the best YouTube videos in the world" drove their strategy• The $3.5 million Squid Game recreation video was an inflection point for the brand• Traditional production methods create unnecessary friction for creatorsEver wonder what makes certain creators explode while others struggle to gain traction? Marc Hustvedt, former president of Mr. Beast, pulls back the curtain on how they built one of the most successful creator brands in history expanding into ventures like Feastables Chocolate and Mr. Beast Burger.What truly sets apart the 0.1% of creators from everyone else? Marc reveals it's a unique combination of traits: relentless work ethic, obsessive attention to detail, willingness to take massive risks, and laser-sharp focus on a singular mission. Jimmy Donaldson didn't just appear out of nowhere – he spent years making videos that barely got views, studying YouTube's ecosystem, and constantly iterating. The breakthrough came from understanding that success requires both quantity and quality, paired with the courage to bet everything on yourself repeatedly.  The $3.5 million Squid Game recreation video serves as a perfect case study of their approach. While traditional media might have stretched production over months of planning and bureaucracy, the Mr. Beast team compressed timelines dramatically. They secured one of the largest brand deals ever for a single YouTube video by creating a sense of FOMO around cultural moments. Most importantly, they eliminated the traditional production hierarchy: "We were both the studio and the network," Marc explains, allowing for nimble decision-making that put creative vision first.Marc is now bringing his digital expertise to Contrarian Thinking as their president, where he's exploring the intersection of education and creator economy. His observation? "You don't need a hundred million people to watch a video. If you've got the right 10,000 people, you can have a very lucrative business." This shift toward highly engaged, targeted communities represents the next evolution in digital content creation.  Listen now for insights on building digital businesses, recognizing talent, and creating content that captivates audiences in today's fragmented landscape.Marc Hustvedt: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marchustvedt/Marc was the President of Mr. Beast from 2021 to 2024.  After graduating from the University of Michigan, he co-founded Tubefilter and the Streamy Awards.Website: https://www.position2.com/podcast/Rajiv Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivparikh/Sandeep Parikh: https://www.instagram.com/sandeepparikh/Email us with any feedback for the show: spark@postion2.com

Her new friend, The Thinker, helps her realize she can choose to make pictures in her head to remember, imagine, to know what she knows, to manage emotions, and to make plans for life. She shares what she learns from The Thinker to help friends and family make personal use of mental pictures. She even asks questions of the reader to encourage their use of individual imaging.

Breaking Free From the All-or-Nothing Mindset That's Slowing Your Business Growth If you're anything like me, you've probably fallen into the trap of seeing your business in black and white – either it's thriving or failing, and there's nothing in between! In this episode, I share my personal wake-up call (spoiler: it involves a disastrous 5K run) that revealed how my all-or-nothing mindset was holding me back in business and life. Your brain naturally craves certainty (science confirms this!), but this extreme thinking creates unnecessary pressure and keeps you stuck in perfectionism, waiting for conditions that might never come. The truth is, growth happens in the messy middle where you're taking imperfect action, collecting data, and making strategic pivots.  In this episode, you'll learn practical frameworks to shift out of extreme thinking patterns that are stalling your growth. I'll show you how to reframe missed goals as data collection opportunities, take decisive action, and embrace "phase one" thinking that gets you moving forward. Plus, I share how my own mindset shifts led to launching my Made to Scale Mastermind and Milly Club – opportunities I would have missed if I'd stayed stuck in my all-or-nothing thinking. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Mental Flexibility Is Your Superpower – Obstacles don't mean stop, they mean pivot. When launches don't hit goals or team members struggle, resist seeing it as failure and instead look for the adjustments and data that will fuel your next success. 2️⃣ Take Imperfect Action Now – Perfectionism is just procrastination in disguise. Instead of waiting for perfect systems or perfect timing, launch the simplified version, hire before you feel "ready," and treat everything as a data collection opportunity. 3️⃣ Ask Better Questions When You Feel Stuck – When the urge to quit feels overwhelming (which is normal!), ask yourself: "If quitting wasn't an option, what would I do next?" Then take that step, no matter how small, to maintain momentum.

They talk about Marx's place among other radical Jewish thinkers from the Rhineland, ideas of Jewish masculinity in his era, Jewish intellectuals becoming prominent atheists, how Marx's background might have inspired his focus on the proletariat, and more.

NYT columnist and sociologist Tressie McMillan Cottom and scholar Eddie Glaude Jr. reflect on the struggle for civil rights and what it means to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the same day that President Donald Trump is sworn into office. "Perhaps the juxtaposition of seeing Donald Trump preside over the official state memorialization of Martin Luther King will remind us of our responsibility to remembering King as he actually was ... as he was a philosopher, an organizer of the people," Cottom says.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
