The meaning we find in scripture often reveals more about our motive than the text itself. This episode explores the uncomfortable truth: that we don't just read scripture—we often recruit it. Nearly any philosophy can be bent in the direction we're already leaning. Raghunath and Kaustubha examine how two people can read the same teaching and walk away with completely opposite conclusions, why real growth begins with examining our motives rather than merely quoting sources, the difference between being transformed by sacred texts and being justified by them, and how compassion may be the clearest measure of whether a teaching has truly been understood. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

February feels like the real beginning of the year — and this tarot forecast helps us understand why.Our soul sister and Intuitive Tarot Therapist Michelle Nolan is back with her February Tarot Forecast, helping us make sense of the energetic intensity many of us are already feeling. After January's surprising momentum, February marks the true energetic launch of the year, aligning with the Fire Horse energy and a powerful shift forward.In this episode, Michelle shares how to work with February's unfolding energy rather than resisting it — so you can move through the month with clarity, intention, and heart-centered awareness.Using her Crow Tarot deck (her personal spirit animal for the year), Michelle guides us through the themes emerging for February, offering insight into how past, present, and future are converging — and what that means for your personal path.We explore:Why January felt anything but slow — and what that momentum revealed about the year aheadFebruary as the true energetic launch point of 2026What it means to work with intensity instead of trying to control or resist itHow past, present, and future are converging — and why trusting what you already know matters nowThe symbolism of the Crow as a seer, messenger, and bridge between worldsLetting go of hesitation and outdated patterns that no longer match who you're becomingWhy February favors clarity over comfort and truth over avoidanceStaying energetically flexible as plans, timelines, and perspectives shiftHow to co-create from a place of intention, momentum, and heart-centered actionThis conversation is both a forecast and a guide — reminding us that tarot isn't about prediction, but about partnership with the energy that's already in motion.If you've been feeling the shift, this episode will help you understand it — and move forward with trust.WORK WITH MICHELLEEmail her at m@mtnolan.comFollow her at @m1che11e.no1anReach out to her in seekingcentercommunity.com Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.

Most people don't fail because they lack effort. They fail because they follow rules and advice that were never designed for their real life. In this episode of the Secret to Success Podcast, the conversation challenges one of the most common traps in personal growth: living by general advice instead of personal strategy. This episode breaks down why: What works for others often fails for you Generic advice ignores context, timing, and personal tendencies High performers don't just work hard — they study patterns Rules, stats, and analytics are useful… but dangerous when followed blindly Real growth requires a personal “scouting report” for your life, marriage, money, and leadership Through stories from sports, business, relationships, and real life, this episode shows why winners don't just follow instructions — they observe, adjust, and execute based on their specific situation. If you've been doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, this episode will help you understand why — and what to do differently.

Born Again: New Life from Above – John 3:1–21In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into John 3:1–21, the iconic conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus. What does it truly mean to be born again? Together, they unpack the difference between religious knowledge and spiritual rebirth, the role of the Spirit in new life, and the radical love of God revealed through Jesus. This passage invites us out of striving and into surrender—where belief leads to transformation and darkness gives way to lightJohn 3:3 – “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”John 3:5 – “No one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.”John 3:15 - "Whoever believes in him [Jesus] should not perish but have eternal life."John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son…”John 3:17 – “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world…”John 3:19–21 – Light vs. darkness—what we choose reveals what we believe.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams
When communities lead, care works: culturally grounded support, early intervention, and multiple doors to emotional wellness. In this episode, host Sharlee Dixon sits down with Dr. Cara McNulty, CEO of Vibrant Emotional Health, the national organization behind the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, serving more than five million people each year. A population health scientist and nationally recognized leader, Cara is committed to breaking down stigma and democratizing access to mental health care across the country.

Together, Sharlee and Cara explore how community-driven peer support, led by people with lived experience, is reshaping youth mental health. They discuss how families can better navigate complex systems, access culturally competent care, recognize early warning signs, and create identity-affirming spaces where teens feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.

The moment a vision stops feeling theoretical and starts asking something real of you, everything changes.In this episode, Byron speaks candidly about what it means to bring The In Movement into form. Not as a brand concept, but as a lived philosophy shaped by years of teaching, partnership, risk, and trust.Rather than offering a polished origin story, Byron reflects on the quieter forces behind the studio's creation. The long arc of preparation, the subtle pivots that could have led somewhere smaller, and the internal clarity required to choose something bigger. He explores the tension between going inward and showing up fully in the world, and why embodiment, community, and lasting transformation sit at the heart of this movement.This conversation invites you behind the scenes of a project still unfolding. It does not explain everything.

In this special episode of the Experience Strategy Podcast, Joe Pine shares with Dave and Aransas background about the book! To celebrate the release of his new book, The Transformation Economy. The conversation traces the book's origins from the final two chapters of The Experience Economy, explores why the world is finally ready for this idea, and unpacks key frameworks — including encapsulation (preparation, reflection, and integration) — that make experiences truly transformative. The trio also discusses the role of AI in enabling transformation, why businesses must foster human flourishing, and who stands to benefit most from reading the book. Key Topics Why now for The Transformation Economy? Joe waited over 25 years because "the world wasn't ready" and he "didn't know enough." Research through Stone Mantle's collaboratives, the World Experience Organization, and post-COVID shifts toward meaningful experiences signaled the time had come. Catalysts for transformation. The most prevalent catalyst is trauma — illness, loss, job changes, retirement. These disruptions create the conditions where people seek to see, do, and be differently. The four spheres of human flourishing: Health & well-being Wealth & prosperity Knowledge & wisdom Purpose & meaning Encapsulation — the essential framework (Chapter 4): To turn a memorable experience into a transformative one, you need three layers around the core experience: preparation (priming beforehand), reflection (making meaning afterward — which retroactively increases the value of the experience), and integration (sustaining change over time). The business model problem. Most companies get paid for the event, not the outcome. Shifting to outcome-based pricing — as McKinsey is doing with AI projects — aligns incentives with lasting transformation. AI as a transformation enabler. AI makes the hardest parts of delivering transformation (especially ongoing integration and support) dramatically more accessible and affordable. Who Should Read This Book? Companies in education, finance, health, and well-being Any business focused on improving the lives of families and individuals The creator economy — creators already doing transformation work who need frameworks to do it well and realize its full value Notable Quotes "The entire raison d'être of business is to foster human flourishing." — Joe Pine "Reflection retroactively increases the value of the experience." — Joe Pine "If you don't do it, it's just lazy." — Aransas Savas, on using available technology to encapsulate experiences Mentioned in This Episode The Transformation Economy by Joe Pine The Experience Economy by Joe Pine & Jim Gilmore Stone Mantel's Experience Strategy Collaboratives The World Experience Organization (founded by James Wallman) Arrival 360 Conference Daniel Kahneman's experiencing self vs. remembering self McKinsey's outcome-based AI pricing model Podcast Sponsors: Learn more about Stone Mantel https://www.stonemantel.co Sign up for the Experience Strategist Substack here: https://theexperiencestrategist.substack.com

What if the most effective strategy for leading change isn't fear-based urgency, but love? In this episode, Kevin sits down with Mohammad Anwar to explore a rethinking of how leaders can approach change by centering people, building trust, and creating psychological safety. Together, Kevin and Mohammad discuss why traditional change management approaches fail, how fear activates resistance, and why prioritizing emotional intelligence and human connection leads to sustainable transformation. They dive into six behavioral principles that underpin "love as a change strategy," including embracing discomfort, practicing empathetic curiosity, and wielding influence effectively.

Turning Customer Experience into Customer Transformation Shep interviews Joseph Pine, best-selling author of Experience Economy, speaker, and cofounder of Strategic Horizons LLP. He talks about his new book, The Transformation Economy, and how businesses can go beyond creating memorable experiences to guiding customers through meaningful transformations that help them achieve their aspirations. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: What is the transformation economy? What is the difference between selling a product and creating a transformative customer experience? How can businesses guide customers to achieve their personal or professional aspirations? What are the benefits of customizing experiences to meet individual customer needs? What elements contribute to a robust customer experience? Top Takeaways: The transformation economy is about how companies can help customers change. It is about how your business can help them achieve their aspirations. Businesses create more value when they focus on selling the end rather than the means. Go beyond selling products and services to understanding why customers buy and use that knowledge to help them reach their goals and achieve their aspirations. Transformation is not a one-size-fits-all. It must begin with truly understanding where the customer is starting (from) and where your customers aspire to end up (to). Carefully identify the customer's current situation, needs, and aspirations to tailor experiences that produce meaningful outcomes for them. Sell transformation, not just products. For example, people don't buy a treadmill because they want the equipment. They want to be healthier, have more stamina, or feel better about themselves. Whether you're selling a physical product, a service, or something else, shift your mindset to the customer's desired result. In both B2B and B2C, businesses should become trusted partners, not just vendors. That means understanding clients' deeper goals and helping them achieve success, even if it occasionally means recommending solutions outside what you sell. The focus is on the customer's outcome, not just the transaction. In the transformation economy, companies should charge for what customers value most: outcomes. Companies are moving away from pricing based on time, materials, or products. It is focused on results. Transformative change for customers doesn't come from a single transaction. It spans the entire journey, including the preparation before the event, reflection afterwards, and ongoing integration into daily life. Plus, Shep and Joe share insights from The Transformation Economy and discuss companies that are putting customer transformations first. Tune in! Quote: "Transformations are built on top of experiences. We change through the experiences that we have.

Steve Smith is a friend of mine. He runs Potter's Inn, which provides soul care. Much of Steve's time is spent with people running large organizations, from mega church pastors to Fortune 500 CEOs. People who as Steve says, live much of their lives in the white water of life. And living this way takes a toll on your soul. Years ago, I actually argued with Steve. I said I was living in a way to keep myself strong so I could endure the constant white water. And I did. Until I couldn't. Until I burnt out and caused plenty of collateral damage in my life. Recently Steve sent me a book of poetry he had written. He's published many books, but with poetry he feels he can say more with less. The book is called, Greening: Poems In The Unfolding Of Our Lives. And the focus is on unfolding through the seasons and reasons of our lives. Steve has walked intimately with so many people. Dramatically successful people as our culture tends to define success. But Steve walks with them as their lives unravel and their identities unfold. In recent years, Steve has had some losses and gone through his own unfolding. As my own life has unfolded, I brought Steve on to discuss some of the concepts of his poetry book, and his life experience. Greening is a term he relates to our flourishing, vitality, well-being, and emotional health. As a speaker, spiritual director, and author, Steve offers soul care and spiritual care through many avenues.

When setting off on any journey, it's best to know your intended destination in advance. On the 12th Step journey, to use the Big Book's original wording, that means following the 12 Steps to arrive at a transformational spiritual experience - one powerful enough to overcome addiction. Of course, the wording of the 12th Step was soon changed to “a spiritual awakening” not wanting to scare newcomers away. But when Bill Wilson tried changing it back to the original, AA wouldn't let him.This single episode describes the “psychic change” the Steps are intended to bring about using three quotes to describe the experience. First, a definition that originated with William James in his Varieties of Religious Experience; second, the description contained in the Big Book; and finally, a helpful quote from Jungian author Robert A. Johnson's book Transformation.

Transformation isn't a straight line — it's a stretch of uncertainty between letting go of who you were and stepping into who you're becoming.In this episode of Your Courageous Life, Kate explores how to navigate that uncomfortable in-between space — the “messy middle” where old patterns are falling away and new ones haven't fully formed. You'll learn why this stage feels so disorienting, how to stop rushing through it, and how to recognize small signs of growth even when it feels like nothing's changing.If you've been questioning yourself or feeling like you're stuck between chapters, this episode will remind you that confusion isn't failure — it's the bridge to becoming.

But something in your chest knows the window is closing.In this first episode of an eight-part series, Nina Hirlaender OFS introduces The Soul's Eight Thresholds of Transformation—a framework drawn from the Celtic Wheel of the Year that maps the inner seasons every seeker moves through.

Evan Unger is a recognized expert in organizational change, leadership development, and collaborative facilitation. With decades of experience consulting for major enterprises, including large pharmaceutical companies and insurance organizations, Evan specializes in transforming workplace culture by empowering change agents at every level. His approach moves beyond traditional training, focusing on deep, practice-based skill transfer to foster genuine collaboration, reduce bureaucracy, and maximize meeting effectiveness. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Evan Unger joins Robert Plank to discuss the art (and science) of running effective, high-stakes meetings. Evan reveals why most meetings are a microcosm of organizational dysfunction and how targeting meeting culture can boost company-wide productivity. Discover the “five fundamentals” for collaborative leadership, learn how to handle challenging personalities (including the “HiPPO” dynamic), and hear why real transformation starts with top-down engagement and extensive practice, not just passive training videos. Tune in for actionable strategies to reclaim time, drive better decisions, and create a culture of buy-in from the very first meeting. Quotes: “The fastest way to transform your company's culture is to change the way you lead meetings because every meeting is a window into your organization's soul.” “Real leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about creating space for every voice and guiding your team to believe, ‘We did this ourselves.'” “You can't shift a culture with information alone. Transformation happens when leaders show up, practice together, and model the behaviors they want to see.” Resources: Evan Unger on LinkedIn

Joining us to talk about the energetics of adoption trauma and healing with flower essences is Charlene Briggs of Botanical Energetics. As a Flower Essence Practitioner since 1999, Charlene specializes in working with adoptees and helps clients frame and recalibrate from the many losses associated with relinquishment, adoption, and subsequent adaption. According to Charlene, adoption is hard on everyone. For the adoptee it's an energetic fracture and a lifetime of recalibration. For the first mothers it's heartbreak, and for the adoptive parents it's an unspoken debt that often comes due when the adoptee reaches the limit of their pain. This debt is not just imposed on the family but on society. No matter how much we manipulate nature to satisfy our needs and wants, it's nature's job to return to itself. "If a plant cannot live according to its nature, it dies, and so a man". —HD Thoreau. Adoptees are plants ripped from their roots and this energetic fracture at their core ripples throughout families and time. Transformation of this fracture lives in nature's ability to restore order, productivity, creativity and peace. Flower essences can be: offered to first mothers for clarity in their decision and in anticipation of relinquishment applied to the wrists of lost newborns to help them regulate the rupture kept on hand for the relinquished person's painful journey back to their root shared with the adoptive parents to help them with their unique challenges. Gifts from nature, flower essences offer hope to everyone caught in the adoption triangle.

According to reports from Forbes and McKinsey & Company, as of early 2025, a remarkable 92% of small- and medium-sized business (SMB) leaders are optimistic about their companies' growth over the next three years. When it comes to growth mindset and revenue, research conducted in late 2024 found that 80% of senior executives at U.S. firms believe an employee's growth mindset is directly linked to profits. Additionally, 89% note that future success hinges on leaders embracing this mentality. In terms of strategic focus, a 2025 survey of experienced entrepreneurs showed that although economic uncertainty persists, 95% feel confident about their prospects for the coming year. Of these, 40% rank investments in AI and automation as their leading strategy for expansion. David Aferiat, a dual citizen of America and France, founded Avid Vines—an organic champagne importer operating out of Atlanta. He also serves as Managing Principal of The Avid Group, which coaches leadership teams through scale, transformation, and uncertain times with the Bloom Growth system. David grew Trade Ideas, a fintech company, from the ground up into a multi-million-dollar venture recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for six consecutive years. His leadership roles include President of the French-American Chamber of Commerce for the Southeast U.S., President of the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) Atlanta Chapter, and Chair of EO's regional Nerve conference, which featured a $1M budget and over 500 attendees from around the globe. A generation ago, David's father embarked on a life-changing journey during the revolution between France and its then colony, Algeria, resulting in the family dividing between Nice and the U.S. It took 26 years for David and his father to reconnect with their French relatives. Inspired by both cultures, David draws from French art, food, and tradition, committed to introducing American tables to clean, artisanal Premier Cru champagne that honors legacy and leaves no regrets. But David's impact goes beyond champagne; he empowers others through growth coaching, guiding leaders and teams on their own Hero's Journey to build resilience, daily discipline, and strategic clarity.

In this double-feature episode of the podcast, veteran journalist Jason Zengerle joins to unpack his new book 'Hated by All the Right People: Tucker Carlson and the Unraveling of the Conservative Mind.' We dive deep into Tucker's early days as a sharp, contrarian writer at The Weekly Standard, his pivot at the Daily Caller for traffic over facts, the lessons from Breitbart, his rise at Fox News, and how he mastered anti-liberal outrage to influence policy and the right's direction.Then, author Daniel Flynn discusses 'The Man Who Invented Conservatism: The Unlikely Life of Frank S. Meyer' – the former Communist turned fusionism pioneer whose ideas united traditionalists and libertarians, powering Goldwater, Reagan, and the post-war right. From MI5 files to living next to Bob Dylan, Meyer's wild life shaped conservatism in ways few remember.Buy the books:Hated by All the Right People by Jason Zengerle: https://www.amazon.com/Hated-All-Right-People-conservative-ebook/dp/B0CYHTV6H9The Man Who Invented Conservatism by Daniel J.

We know that people will lie. We know that people will say hurtful things because they've been hurt. We know that what people say about us can have absolutely nothing to do with us. And we know that people judge, blame, and criticize in ways that have no relationship to the truth.So why then do their words hurt so much? Why do we suffer so deeply when people slander us? And why do we take things so personally that are in no way personal?It's because our mind can know something, but unless our subconscious mind and body know it too, we don't really know it. We only know it intellectually, but deep down in our gut we are clueless.In this podcast, I share my own struggles with being misunderstood. I talk about how I overcame people's lies, judgments, and cruelties. And I share the simple, profound, and easy ways we can all understand at the deepest level that other people's thoughts and words are none of our concern.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

This week on the podcast I'm chatting with Jodi Echakowitz, who in her 50s underwent an incredible physical fitness transformation — going from feeling exhausted and disconnected from her body to fitness competitions and photo shoots. But the most powerful part of Jodi's journey isn't what we see on Instagram — the gym time or the nutrition posts. It's the quiet, behind-the-scenes work that changed everything: the mindset shifts and identity transformation that now influence how she shows up in her life, her body, and the world. Jodi shares why having the right program and support matters — but also why real, lasting change doesn't come from pushing harder or doing more. It comes from seeing yourself differently and changing the inner narrative and self-talk that drive your choices. We talk about why the way we speak to ourselves matters more than we realize, why mindset is often the missing link in lasting change, and how identity quietly shapes our habits and results. Jodi's story isn't just about changing her body — it's about transforming the way she approaches her life. If you're on any kind of transformation journey, physical or otherwise, this episode is one you'll want to hear. Follow Jodi's journey on Instagram.@jodi.echakowitz

How can a 22 day silent retreat at a Buddhist monastery transform trauma, mindset, and daily productivity? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Laurie S. Jacobson, certified health coach, motivational speaker, and author of Unexpected Awakening: 22 Days at a Buddhist Monastery Freed Me from Abuse, for a powerful conversation on transformation, resilience, and holistic productivity. Laurie shares her raw and inspiring journey of leaving an emotionally abusive marriage at age 43 and finding unexpected refuge in a silent meditation retreat at a Buddhist monastery. What began as a one week stay stretched into 22 days due to a snowstorm and ultimately changed the course of her life. Through silence, mindfulness, Buddhist teachings, and compassionate human connection, Laurie experienced profound shifts in awareness, self trust, and purpose. Together, Gerald and Laurie explore how silence sharpens listening and emotional intelligence, why productivity breaks down when mental and emotional blocks go unaddressed, and how small baby steps can dissolve feelings of being stuck. They discuss habit stacking, trusting the process like a GPS rerouting, and why integrating mind, body, and spirit leads to sustainable productivity beyond rigid to-do lists and short term motivation. The conversation also dives into how meditation helps surface repressed emotions, how consistency outperforms inspiration, and why a strong why is essential for long term health, creativity, and meaningful change. Laurie explains how habits naturally piggyback across physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions, creating momentum while preventing burnout and overwhelm. If you are interested in turning adversity into growth, building mindful habits, or redefining productivity through holistic well being, this is a must listen.

This week, I talk with Tiago Forte about far more than productivity systems or note-taking. This one is about what happens after success—when the systems that once fueled your growth start working against you. We talk about burnout, anger, embodiment, and how listening to the body can become a doorway to deeper clarity and determination. Tiago shares the personal journey that shaped Building a Second Brain, why he made the difficult decision to wind down a wildly successful business, and what he's learned by redesigning his life around alignment rather than optimization. We also explore the changing value of audience, community, and creativity in the age of AI, and why real connection—both locally and globally—matters more than ever.

Let's unpack a truth most people don't want to admit: the thing you're avoiding is action. When you leave inaction untouched, it does not sit quietly. It grows. It drains you. And it quietly reshapes your life through mental drag, stress, and procrastination. Unaddressed conversations don't sit still. Ignored decisions don't pause. Delayed action doesn't disappear. It compounds. It leaks energy, creates anxiety, and slowly trains your nervous system to stay stuck. In this episode, Troy introduces the Bison Theory, a counterintuitive truth rooted in real behavior: while most animals run away from storms and stay trapped in them longer, bison run straight into the storm, shortening how long they suffer. This episode isn't about hype or grit for grit's sake. It's about why facing the thing you're avoiding is the fastest path to transformation, and how movement, not certainty, is what breaks the loop. If you've felt the weight of indecision, the drag of unfinished business, or the mental exhaustion of too many open loops, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.This Episode Covers:Why avoidance is active, not neutral, and how it quietly compounds stressHow “direction determines duration” when it comes to pain and changeWhy facing the storm creates momentum even before clarity shows upHow anticipation of pain often hurts longer than the pain itselfThe real reason action restores energy faster than motivation ever willHow to stop negotiating with reality and start reclaiming agencyWhy transformation begins the moment you turn toward what you've been running fromBeyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize.
