Where Part 1 followed the companies, Part 2 is about the person behind them. Picking up from Mukesh Bansal's move from one venture to the next, this half gets into how he finds talent ("work with them for six months"), the mental models he runs his life by, and the beliefs underneath them. He explains why rationally no one should start a company, how he processes every rejection as "no means not now", why he writes three books by simply showing up to a blank page, and how he separated the longevity basics he trusts from the biohacking he no longer does. It ends close to home: loyalty as loyalty to a mission, what he wants for his two children, why parents' expectations matter less than they did, and a life he rates an 8 out of 10.Chapters0:00  Where we left off1:46  Finding talent: "work with them for six months"3:23  The one open-ended question he asks5:57  Winning vs looking good8:00  The compounding argument, revisited9:40  Learning vs winning: drawing the 2x211:17  Three books, and the annual look-back16:18  Making time to think in a full life18:45  What a chief of staff is actually for21:27  "No means not now" and other mental models25:57  How he writes a book28:30  How health became a throughline31:24  From ecosystem to the longevity basics34:29  Why strength training matters after 5038:08  Why he runs SparX, and the deep-tech turn44:05  Loyalty to a mission, and the number two50:35  The Apple teaching model52:52  Three adjectives, and being "scary" to juniors55:30  His kids' worldview57:54  Do parents' expectations still matter?1:00:12  Weekends, food, and reading now1:02:17  Rating his life an 8Quotes[8:44] "I don't know if this rocket thing will work.

Thanks Sensei Tracey, for hanging out and talking Taoism books with us today. As always, it was a fun. During the episode I mention that, as you can see, the word is spelled with a "T" but is said with a "D" - Daoism (as it were). I googled why? It is a simple 1/2 hour search if you're interested. But here are the highlights: a) it was an interpretation of it's time, b) the sound is breathy and lives between our 2 letters - T & D, and finally c) some recent prints have changed the "T" to a "D". Let me know what you find out.In this episode, Sensei Tracey's book reminded us of Master Kelljchian's book 365 Days of the Warrior. It is still available on Amazon. Here's a link:https://www.amazon.com/365-Days-Warrior-Joseph-Kelljchian/dp/0967674840/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.M2j9o1paBmCfJlLrS71_coq5zaLF5uBi3AwjZYwFGVQ.TeSSANoBh9hmPrKU7KLQBWrMWuPKj6luADstg35qHXA&qid=1785950010&sr=8-1We reviewed Master Kelljchian's book back in 2021.

The Exciting Lives of Cupcake and Reggie... three books in a series by Karen R Lacy and illustrated by Nayeli Cardona CarlinKarenRLacy.comKaren gives a brief background of her story. She was already publishing children's books before the special moment when her family increased with Lhasapoo's Reggie and Cupcake. These pups were so cute, she decided to write about them. Then their brother, Reno came along six months later. To complete this pack of adorable puppies, within three months, they had added little Yorkipoo's Rocki and Rambo. In Book One, her stories began with The Exciting Lives of Cupcake and Reggie on the scene. Karen shares about the Lhasapoo breed and amazing experiences during the pup's first Christmas, grooming, puppy training, and so much more. In the end, the pups realize their family may expand. But they're not sure whether Mommie and Daddy will be getting more pups or farm animals. Book Two is entitled The Exciting Lives of Cupcake and Reggie, More Siblings & Adventures! and includes Cupcake and Reggie's siblings and shares each pup's personality and talent. Again, information is shared about the Lhasapoo breed for Reno, and the Yorkipoo breed for Rocki and Rambo. Readers can imagine the fun and mischief that happens at home, in the yard, at the pet store, in the community of friends, and even when Mommie and Daddy comfort them when fireworks and storms happen.   Book Three, The Exciting Lives of Cupcake and Reggie and Siblings with More Experiences, shares more adventures with Cupcake, Reggie, Reno, Rocki, and Rambo as they grow older. The next time they experienced fireworks, the Lhasapoos enjoyed the sounds and colors lighting up the sky with Mommie while the Yorkipoos slept with Daddy. They loved Auntie Denise's visit, which also gave them an opportunity for more mischief. They all bonded closer with human and doggie friends. #karenrlacy, #karenrlacychildrensbooks, #chapterbooks, #picturebooks, #travelbook, #dogstory, #amazonbooks, #animalinteraction, #educationalbooks, #adventurous, #puppylovers, #familytime, #community, #siblingrelationships, #imaginativeplay

Dr. Justin Sledge is a scholar of philosophy and Western esotericism, and the voice behind the YouTube channel Esoterica, which has grown to over a million subscribers. He has spent his career studying the traditions that history tried to erase: Gnosticism, Kabbalah, Hermeticism, witchcraft, and alchemy.What We Dive Into:1. Classical skepticism is not about debunking or disbelief. It is about bracketing your personal investment long enough to let the material speak for itself. 2. Newton wrote more on alchemy and the occult than on calculus. Descartes arrived at his famous method through a mystical dream. Stripping these facts from the story of modernity has cost us access to some of the most important spiritual technologies ever developed.3. Every other starting point, certainty, comfort, doctrine, conclusions, has a gutter waiting at the end of it. Awe keeps the garden of curiosity alive.Know Thyself, but not by yourself.

In Psalm 19 David can set before us God's Three Books. The Book of the Heavens or the World, showing us God's Glory; the Book of the Law or the Scriptures, giving us God's Guidance; finally, the Book of the Heart, where we learn of the need of God's Grace. In the last section, David reflects upon his transgressions, his own errors – many things which he has been unaware of committing, his secret faults. He stands in need of two things. Redemption or deliverance from his past sins and strength or enabling for the present and the future. He confesses God as "my Redeemer" and this same God can provide the enabling for the words he speaks and the meditations of his heart to be acceptable to Him.

Rome wasn't killed by its enemies. It was killed by a rescue.Everyone knows the fall of Rome — 476, the last emperor, the barbarian king, the lights going out. Almost nobody knows what happened when the Eastern Empire under Justinian tried to take Italy back. The Gothic Wars of 535-554 emptied the peninsula. Milan — one of the great cities of the north — was leveled, its men slaughtered, its women and children enslaved. Rome itself was besieged over and over. The aqueducts were cut for the first time in the city's history. And the Plague of Justinian rode the exact same roads Belisarius had reopened for trade, killing perhaps a third of the Mediterranean world.By the time Justinian declared victory in 554, Rome held maybe 50,000 people — down from hundreds of thousands under Theodoric. There was almost no one left to govern. So the Pope started doing it. Not because God willed it — because no one else was left standing.This is Episode 3 of the "Life After the Fall of Rome" series. We're going to follow the 20-year kill chain from Justinian's decision to reconquer Italy through Belisarius's early successes, the sieges, Milan's destruction, the plague, the Gothic king Totila appealing directly to Italians against their supposed "liberators," and the arrival of the Lombards in 568 who found an Italy that 20 years of Byzantine reconquest had prepared for them.The barbarians took the crown in 476. The Eastern Empire took the civilization in 554. And the pattern is closer to an operating manual for every rescue operation that's ever been launched: when a government tries to restore something that no longer exists, it doesn't bring back the past — it destroys what's left.If you're new, start with Episode 1 ("Rome Didn't Fall — Here's What Actually Happened") and Episode 2 ("Theoderic: The Goth Who Kept Rome Alive for 33 Years") linked below.

Years ago, watching TV at home, I discovered a true modern age humanist and true ambassador, Francesco Trecci, political science and history graduate, author, historian and commercial director who challenged himself to connect two antique and proud cultures, Italy and Republic of Georgia, illuminate them with knowledge to connect them on a deeper level. Ever since, I can proudly say we have become friends due to a common passion and interest that is central to the multicultural, global business leadership mission of the Alloutcoach Podcast. Enjoy this episode, which is a deeply personal conversation between us in which we discuss Francesco's journey and essentially describe how far a person's patriotism, humanism, as well as curiosity can go in becoming a celebrated, respected and admired figure an entire country knows based on the three books Trecci has written and his own inspiration to learn about a new culture in such incredible depth. Get to know Francesco Trecci on Facebook and across social media channels. The podcast is in Italian, but is fully subtitled in English. As a bonus musical dedication to this podcast, you will also hear a song called "Born in Georgia" I had written and produced completely with a new arrangement years ago based on a worldly famous Italian patriotic song "L'Italiano" by Toto Cutugno. The production in the studio involved people from 6 different cultures - a testament to how modern age humanism, respect, and curiosity for not just one's own but other countries can build bridges between people, illuminate, and enrich them, which is ever so critical in today's world.Timeline0:00 Speaker and Episode Introduction3:30 What inspired you initially to learn about the Republic of Georgia?4:40 Where does your curiosity come from?6:39 How do you define a person to whom one culture or one passion is not enough to be happy?7:52 What are some historic figures that transcended borders that influenced you?10:36 Why studying a foreign country in depth does not reduce your patriotism12:54 Personal Story - Returning to my native Georgia after 8 years and its personal impact14:06 Value of Modern Humanism and Ambassador Connecting 2 Cultures14:48 Francesco Trecci's Three Books in Italian about Georgia16:47 Biggest Success and Lesson in Francesco's JourneyConnecting with people in Georgia thanks to the books he has written18:02 Greetings and announcement of a musical dedication19:04 Song: "Born in Georgia" - new arrangement based on an Italian Patriotic Song in Georgian22:37 Closing Remarks: How a patriotic song dedicated to 1 song connected people from 6 different cultures in the recording studio

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA lot of us meet Fulton Sheen in fragments: a quote card, a grainy clip, a meme. But when you actually sit with his work, something steadier happens. During Holy Week, I reflect on three books that quietly re-ordered my interior life: Peace of Soul, The World's First Love, and Life of Christ. They feel like three doors into one home, leading from a restless conscience, to a stronger Marian devotion, to a real encounter with Jesus Christ who won't stay an abstract idea.We talk candidly about Sheen's challenge to the modern obsession with psychology and self-analysis. His point is both blunt and freeing: peace does not come from endlessly diagnosing yourself. It comes from owning sin, turning back to God, and receiving mercy especially through the sacrament of confession. If you've ever wondered why you feel spiritually stuck even while trying all the “right” self-help moves, this conversation names the deeper ache and offers a concrete path forward.Then we shift to Mary. Sheen refuses to treat Marian devotion as an optional extra; he presents her as a woman placed at the center of salvation history, able to step into personal and cultural crisis and quietly reorder it around Christ. When the world feels like it's coming apart, his advice is simple: don't decrease devotion, double down.Finally, we walk with Sheen through the Gospels and linger on his striking Eden and Gethsemane imagery, then relive the powerful 1979 moment when Pope John Paul II embraces the aging archbishop and says, “You have written and spoken well of the Lord Jesus.” With Fulton Sheen's beatification set for 2026, this is a timely invitation to make Holy Week concrete. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find these Catholic spiritual classics.Key Points from the Episode:• discovering Fulton Sheen through Peace of Soul, The World's First Love, and Life of Christ  • guilt and sin as the start of healing rather than something to deny  • peace of soul found through confession, mercy, and conversion rather than self-analysis  • Mary as central to salvation history and a steady guide in crisis  • doubling down on Marian devotion when the world feels dark  • Sheen's Gospel meditation that makes Christ feel near and demanding of response  • Eden and Gethsemane as the two gardens framing redemption  • John Paul II's embrace of Fulton Sheen as a passing of the baton  • what beatification means and the details around Sheen's 2026 Mass  Be sure to check out our show page at TeamMojacademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast as well as other great resources.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

Episode 115 -Top Three Books by Dan Vacanti & Prateek Singh

1- Operation Overflight By: Francis Gary Powers and Curt Gentry Published: 1970 384 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? An autobiographical account of Powers' experiences before, during, after and around his U-2 spy plane being shot down over the Soviet Union, including his 21 months of imprisonment in a Soviet prison and his long campaign to rehabilitate his reputation upon his return to the US.  2- Flybot By: Dennis E. Taylor Published: 2025 430 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? Another Taylor book where a few scrappy nerds get thrust into the middle of world altering events. In this case it's the emergence of an ASI (artificial superintelligence).  3- Gun Runner By: Larry Correia and John D. Brown Published: 2025 430 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? Set in a science fiction future, this is a classic tale of scoundrels with a heart of gold, who may seem like bad guys but once you peel away their gruff exterior. Though actually the story is somewhat reversed. You see the heart of gold right from the beginning, but because they are still scoundrels, some of the scoundrelly things they do end up being bad, and they have to undo the damage they've caused. The story mostly revolves around Jackson Rook, a mech pilot whose piloting implants were once subverted forcing him to cause tremendous harm. This has left him haunted and in search of redemption.

Jamie Hopkins, CEO of Bryn Mawr Trust Advisors, is also the author of three books: Rewirement: Rewiring the Way You Think about Retirement; Find Your Freedom: Financial Planning for a Life on Purpose; and, most recently, Your Retirement Sketchbook: 125 Retirement Planning Lessons from Financial Experts. The author walks us through the essentials of each of his books.

Send us a textHAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!!!Last year ws a year of extremes but overall we saw our show expand to include a new local broadcast and we completed several projects we hope to bring you in this coming year of 2026. Please join us here for another exciting year at "Randal Wallace Presents" , "The Richard Nixon Experience" and " Grand Strand Politics" Here is what is on tap for next years: BOB DOLE — A Three-Season Audio Documentary SeriesTwo Upcoming InstallmentsSeason TwoBob Dole: The Life That Brought Him ThereBefore the campaign. Before the slogans. Before the headlines — the life.Season Two traces the extraordinary, often overlooked journey that forged Bob Dole long before he became a presidential nominee. From a Kansas boy who left for World War II and returned with devastating injuries, to a patient rebuilding himself at Percy Jones Army Hospital alongside other wounded veterans, this season tells the story of how grit, discipline, and moral clarity shaped one of America's most consequential political figures.This season follows Dole's ascent from Russell County Attorney to Congress, and then to the United States Senate, charting his rise through the Republican Party during some of the most volatile decades in American history. We examine his tenure as RNC Chairman, his role during Watergate, and his legendary razor-thin 1974 Senate reelection victory over Dr. Bill Roy — a race that changed the trajectory of his career.Listeners will also hear the inside story of Dole's vice-presidential campaign, his years as Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and his time as both Majority and Minority Leader.Built from original interviews with U.S. Senators, senior Dole staffers, and journalists, alongside rare archival audio and historic news coverage, The Life That Brought Him There is not just biography — it is the story of how leadership is forged.This is the season that explains who Bob Dole was before America decided what to make of him.Season ThreeBob Dole Campaign 1996: The Campaign of a LifetimeA front-row seat to one of the most dramatic presidential races of the modern era.Season Three is an immersive, deeply reported account of Bob Dole's 1996 run for the presidency — a campaign built on legacy, urgency, and the belief that a lifetime of service still had one final chapter to write.This season takes listeners inside the primaries, strategy fights, and pressure-packed moments that defined Dole's quest to defeat a sitting president. Through exclusive oral histories from Dole insiders, U.S. Senators, campaign veterans, and journalists, we reveal how the campaign was really run — and how close it came to changing American history.Adding a rare dimension, host Randal Wallace brings listeners along through his own experience as a volunteer in the pivotal South Carolina primary, where the campaign was nearly derailed — and later across the long, grinding road to the Republican nomination and the general election. Using archival news coverage, historic speeches, behind-the-scenes stories, and firsthand testimony, The Campaign of a Lifetime reconstructs the race as it actually happened — not as it was simplified afterward.Plus we look at the the three books our host has Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Recently I read three books that in profound and positive way affected me, allowed me to grow and heal further."On our best behavior" by Eloise Loehnen talks about seven "deadly sins" that women are shamed to submit to in order to suppress their power and potential."Mary Magdalene revealed" by Meggan Watterson shares a true story of Mary Magdalene who was falsely disgraced and portrayed as a prostitute because she was dangerous as one of Jesus's favorite disciple with her own powerful teachings and knowledge. And lastly, from the same author "The girl who baptized herself" tell a story about Thecla, who stood to suppressing and outdated rules and laws, baptize herself, listen to her calling and was saved by other women. I believe there is a bit of Mary Magdalane and Thecla in all of us and understanding their stories and mechanics of patriarchal society was extremely empowering and healing me. I cannot recommend these books enough if you are in any capacity committed to your won healing and growth.

https://youtu.be/YjhHIgZzO3k Podcast audio: In this episode of The ARI Bookshelf, Jason Rheins, Ben Bayer, Don Watkins, and Alex Silverman examine two contrasting perspectives on the influence of Christianity: Tom Holland's Dominion and Charles Freeman's The Closing of the Western Mind and The Reopening of the Western Mind. While Holland's widely discussed book argues that Christianity is the foundation of science and Western values, Freeman's books present a contrary view. Our panelists bring their expertise to evaluate the arguments in both books, assessing their historical and philosophical accuracy. The discussion covered: The central arguments of the books; Why the Church feared Aristotelian philosophy; How Freeman's books provide a more thorough and philosophical analysis than Holland's; How Holland diminishes Greek influence on modernity; How Holland appropriates secular ideas and thinkers into Christianity; The role of Christianity in the abolition of slavery; The relationship between Christianity and science; Why Holland's book gained popularity while Freeman's did not. The video premiered on March 11, 2025.

For the podcast's fifth anniversary, Eric Purdue joined me at Dark Star Magick in Portland, Oregon, for a live podcast recording. We had a live audience, livestreamed the conversation to YouTube, and overall had a really excellent time. Our conversation focused on his translation of Henry Cornelius Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy, which was released in 2022. I wanted to find out more about the ongoing influence of his translation, and how it is reshaping the modern occult community.Eric Purdue is a practitioner of medieval astrology, and a santero (olorisha) in Lucumí/Santeria.

This week, we welcome Jennifer Frey to The Hamilton Review! Jennifer is currently the Dean of the Honors College at the University of Tulsa, with a secondary appointment as professor of philosophy in the Department of Philosophy and Religion. In this episode, Jennifer and Dr. Bob discuss her recent article in the Wall Street Journal entitled, "Three Books on What Being a Parent Really Means." Enjoy this dynamic conversation! Jennifer Frey's bio in her own words: I am currently the Dean of the Honors College at the University of Tulsa, with a secondary appointment as professor of philosophy in the Department of Philosophy and Religion. Previously, I was an Associate Professor of philosophy at the University of South Carolina, where I was also a Peter and Bonnie McCausland faculty fellow in the College of Arts and Sciences. I am also a faculty fellow at the Institute for Human Ecology at the Catholic University of America, and a Newbigin Interfaith Fellow with The Carver Project. Prior to coming to the University of South Carolina, I was a Collegiate Assistant Professor the Humanities at the University of Chicago, where I was also a member of the Society for the Liberal Arts. I earned my Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh, where I studied under John McDowell and Michael Thompson, and my B.A. in Philosophy and Medieval Studies (with a Classics minor) at Indiana University-Bloomington. My academic research is primarily in moral psychology and virtue. I've co-edited a volume titled Self-Transcendence and Virtue with my former colleague Candace Vogler, and I am finishing up a volume titled Practical Truth with my husband and colleague, Christopher Frey. A third volume, titled Practical Wisdom, is under contract with Oxford University Press. In 2015, I was awarded a multi-million dollar grant from the John Templeton Foundation, titled “Virtue, Happiness, and the Meaning of Life.” I frequently write more popular essays and book reviews in places like Breaking Ground, First Things, Image, and The Point. I host a philosophy, theology, and literature podcast called Sacred and Profane Love.

On Thursday June 23rd, 2022 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will reappraise and read from the Hermetic classic  "Three Books of Occult Philosophy" by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, first published in 1533 in Latin. This master work has been the foundation study of Hermetic science, Magick and mysticism for nearly 500 years. It is divided into three sections, or books:  The Natural World, The Celestial World, and The Divine World. The first, The Natural World dealt with The Hermetic Elements, the second The influence of The Heavens, Stars and Planets upon human affairs and events and the third the Divine World, dealt with the spiritual sciences of Magick and Qabalah. Unfortunately many students get these volumes as a reference work. Agrippa intended it to be read and studied from beginning to end as one continuous and contiguous work. The Hermetic Elements of the Natural World are reflected in the Celestial World, and spiritually empowered and directed from The Divine World. We will demonstrate this with selected readings from the first Volume. We will be reading from the newly translated 1533 Latin edition from Inner Traditions translated by Eric Purdue. So if you want an old fashioned introduction to wizardry, tune and we'll start you on the path.
