From the publisher: "When Barack Obama won the White House in 2008, becoming the nation's first Black president, the stage was set for Donald Trump's eventual rise to power. Backlash Presidents shows how, throughout American history, administrations that challenge the country's racial status quo are followed by presidents who deal in racially charged politics and presidential lawlessness, culminating in impeachment crises.In this incisive book, Julia Azari traces the connections between racially transformative presidents and their successors, examining the presidencies of Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, and Obama and Trump. When he signed long-awaited civil rights legislation in 1964, Lyndon Johnson unleashed a perfect political storm that swept Nixon into the White House. Azari demonstrates how Nixon's rhetoric, relationship to Congress, and attitudes about executive power exhibit striking parallels with Andrew Johnson and Trump. She discusses how their actions are linked to race and racialized institutions—the Department of War during Reconstruction, the FBI during the Nixon years, and elections today—and looks at what happens after impeachment, describing how the rush to establish a new order perpetuates many of the same problems as the old.Challenging the conventional wisdom about the role of norms in American democracy, Backlash Presidents reveals how normal presidential politics upholds unsustainable racial hierarchy that in turn gives rise to intense periods of instability."For information on Dr. Azari's book from Princeton University Press, head here Support our show and Reach out and Read of Tampa Bay at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistoryAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

In this episode of Transformative Principal, Brandon Cardet-Hernandez shares his journey from being a principal to advising the NYC Mayor, and now serving as President of Mrs. Wordsmith, a company dedicated to improving children's literacy through innovative tools like books and video games. Brandon dives into the urgent need for solutions in education, particularly addressing the missed "dosage" in phonemic awareness, phonics, and vocabulary instruction that many students experience. He explores the role of video games in education, emphasizing that while games can't replace teachers, they can enhance the learning process through engaging, spaced-repetition techniques, like the popular game Word Tag.Brandon discusses how joy and mastery of language can transform a student's understanding and emotional connection to words. He also highlights the challenges many students face in developing strong reading skills, especially in middle and high school, and how increasing practice time is essential.Leaving the principalship to do advising to NYC Mayor. Solutions that I was hungry for. President of Mrs. WordsmithEfficacy of video gamesSub-literateGames don't replace teachers and instructionMissed dosage that kids need: phonemic awareness and phonics & vocabularyHow much time they get practicing. How do we give teachers the right data?Word tag - spaced repetition.Joy of words, master of phrasing. How many kids don't have the command of the language?Happiness makes more sense when you have word associations with it. Increase dosage of reading skills. How challenging it is to learn reading in middle and high school.How to be a transformative principal?

Dr. John Demartini's “Breakthrough Experience” has transformed lives across the globe. In this episode, we uncover how to turn pain into purpose using his neuroscience-backed methodologies.

In January 2026, I'm bringing together a select group of conscious healers, coaches, and lightworkers… and teaching them how to: Tap into the Akashic Field of unconditional wisdom and healing on command Connect to a source of Divine Wisdom that can clear away limiting patterns and beliefs at the speed of light (without YEARS of talk therapy or endless “working on yourself” that doesn't create lasting change) Use the Akashic Records as a tool of QUANTUM HEALING to clear away your own “stuff” (fear, resistance, self-doubt, second-guessing, overthinking, overgiving) so you can confidently show up for your clients – and powerfully help them clear *their* stuff as well Turn on your deepest inner guidance and experience deeper states of flow, connection, and purpose – consistently Become a grounded, confident, effective Akashic Records Practitioner and help your clients get life-changing results, so they keep coming back and referring you to everyone they know If you're feeling the call of the Records – this is never by accident. It's because you have Soul-level work to do with the Akashic Records in this lifetime.  The more drawn you feel to the Records, the more likely it is you're meant to use them to (1) heal yourself and (2) assist others in their process of healing and evolution. The Records have been my steadfast companion, Divine Guide, and powerful compass through life for the past 20 years (I first opened my Records when I was 17). Over these 2 decades, they've helped me transform MAJOR stuff and supported me in aligning fully with my spiritual mission and sacred work in this lifetime. This mission, for me, includes making the Akashic Records an accessible and potent Divine tool – actually, a way of life – for healers, lightworkers, and spiritual seekers. This is why I created a one-of-a-kind, immersive Certification Program where we go deeply into the Akasha together.  I'll teach you everything you must know to effectively connect to the Records and use them as a tool of insight and healing not just for yourself, but for the people you're here to serve. The length and depth of this Certification – plus my commitment to offering you an unparalleled level of personal mentorship – enable each student to have a transformative experience and go on a journey of discovery about how you're meant to use the Akashic Records in this lifetime, to heal yourself and others. In our live meetings, there will be time to ask questions, do healing work together, and share your experiences in the Records. You'll also have ample time between meetings to practice the techniques and tools I'll be teaching you – and to connect with fellow students to exchange readings. I offer personalized feedback on all assignments, so you feel supported every step of the way. Interested in joining us?

3I/Atlas possesses the consciousness of ancient extraterrestrials that has arrived to uplift our solar system and humanity by disseminating unique frequencies containing transformative DNA codes, according to Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy (QHHT) practitioner, Sarah Breskman Cosme. October 16 is a key date in the dissemination of these frequency codes according to what she was told by one of several clients who have shared information about 3I/Atlas from the perspective of their Higher Selves, which is a form of information gathering pioneered by the late, Dolores Cannon. Sarah was given the Dolores Cannon Award in 2023 for her QHHT research and induces hypnotic states in her clients who are then able to access memories of past lives, which help them resolve health and psychological problems in their current life. Part of the QHHT process involves the client accessing their Higher Selves, which can in addition reveal important information about contemporary events and the future. Sarah explains how she chooses the right clients who have a clear connection to their Higher Selves to access esoteric information, sometimes without them having any conscious recall. In this way, Sarah has gained valuable information about different extraterrestrial agendas, a coming split in humanity's future, the key bloodlines that are involved in humans achieving their fullest potential, and many other topics of interest.

What was the impact of the Osho / Rajneesh cult on the families of members? Why might some people struggle to heal old wounds? To what extent is abuse of children still unacknowledged? How can telling one's story facilitate recovery?Lily Dunn is an author, teacher and mentor of literary memoir. She explores its potential in her new book, Into Being, which cites many writers including herself – Lily's last book, Sins of My Father, describes her enchantment with an absent parent, who joined the Rajneeshees and later drank himself to death.Examining this tangled relationship revealed her father's narcissistic avoidance of responsibility. This was common in communes, with painful effects on the children raised there – sex with minors was widespread, as Lily noted in an article that brought her into contact with survivors of abuse.One was Maroesja Perizonius, a Dutch director with whom Lily worked to develop a film titled Children of the Cult – available here if you're in the UK, with a trailer here. Their stories were ignored by the Netflix series, Wild Wild Country, which focused instead on other cult transgressions, such as bioterrorism.Our conversation explores all these topics, along with some practical guidance on writing, and the value of external help – from editors, mentors and therapists – in reducing the risk of self-deception. In the process, we consider what distinguishes creative non-fiction from making things up.

Visionary architect Julien Sebban takes us on a captivating exploration of his creative universe, Uchronia. Known for his theatrical use of color—particularly his beloved orange—Julien has an extraordinary talent for crafting spaces that evoke emotion and challenge traditional design norms. During our conversation, he reveals how his education at the Architectural Association in London laid the foundation for Uchronia, allowing him to integrate his own DNA into each project.

In this episode of Transformative Principal, Jethro Jones welcomes three inspiring guests to discuss the origins and impact of the Test Kitchen Education Foundation in Fort Madison, Iowa. Brent Zirkel shares how the foundation was created to blend culinary arts with education, providing students with essential life and academic skills. Kumar Withanage, a renowned chef and passionate educator, recounts his journey from Sri Lanka to the U.S. and his motivation to give back to the community through after-school programs that teach both cooking and life lessons. Julian Pope, a former student and participant, describes how the Test Kitchen became a turning point in his life, offering mentorship, practical skills, and opportunities that helped him pursue higher education. The conversation highlights the power of mentorship, the importance of community, and the value of providing safe, supportive spaces for students to grow.How Test Kitchen Education Foundation came to be. How Julien got involved through the robotics program. Cooking provides instant feedback.The power of mentorship.ACT - Appreciate, Clean up after yourself, Thank everyone.Mentorship and agreements or commitmentsAbout Kumar WickramasinghaKumar Wickramasingha is best known in southeast Iowa for his culinary expertise and his deep commitment to educational equity. A native of Sri Lanka, Kumar immigrated to the United States in 1986, where he was welcomed by George and Jean Alton—two Fort Madison educators who gave him a home and the encouragement to pursue higher education. Inspired by their generosity and belief in the power of education, Kumar fulfilled his American dream by becoming a successful restaurateur and later a healthcare executive.Kumar's most enduring legacy, however, may be his work in education reform. As the founder of the Test Kitchen Education Foundation (TKEF), he created the Elliott Test Kitchen (ETK)—a one-of-a-kind afterschool program that used food and mentorship to bring academic support to students in rural Iowa. With a blend of culinary creativity and educational accountability, the program helped countless students from all backgrounds succeed in school, build life skills, and discover their potential.Today, Kumar is collaborating with former ETK student Julien Pope on a forthcoming book that tells the story of the Test Kitchen's origins, challenges, and powerful impact. The book not only highlights the life-changing effects of academic support and mentorship, but also draws a powerful connection between the decline of quality education in rural communities and the rise of political polarization in America. Through real stories and hard truths, the project aims to spark a national conversation—and offer a roadmap for healing both systems.Kumar continues to live in Fort Madison and remains passionate about giving back to the community that once lifted him up. His work is a testament to the idea that the best way to thank a community is to build something lasting within it.About Julien PopeJulien Pope is a ghostwriter and freelance developmental editor currently working in Fort Madison, Iowa. As a high schooler, his life was positively impacted by the Elliott Test Kitchen, and, using the resources provided to him by the ETK, he successfully enrolled at the University of Iowa as an English and Creative Writing Major. Recently graduated, he has returned to Fort Madison to work on a series of writing projects, one of which being the memoir of Kumar Wickramasingha and the story of the Elliott Test Kitchen. As the author of this memoir, Julien will use both personal narrative and in-depth research to create a compelling argument for the solution to rural America's educational decline - namely, that only through dedicated, passionate community involvement and cultural appreciation will education be able to flourish and heal the rifts in our fracturing society. About Brent ZirkelBrent Zirkel is currently the Elementary Principal at Mary Welsh Elementary in Williamsburg, Iowa, a school of about 650 students.  He also serves as the district ELL Director, Migratory Education Program Director, and Preschool Program Director.

Why Writing a Book in 2025 Is a Game-Changer for Entrepreneurs: Expert Insights from Book Coach Jennifer CrosswhiteIn today's fast-moving business world, standing out as a thought leader requires more than just expertise—it requires authority. In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Jennifer Crosswhite, seasoned book coach, editor, and CEO and Owner of Tandem Services Inc., to discuss why writing a book in 2025 is one of the most powerful moves an entrepreneur, coach, or CEO can make. Jennifer shares her experience navigating both traditional and self-publishing, revealing actionable strategies for turning your ideas into a book that builds credibility, influence, and lasting impact.Why a Book is Your Ultimate Authority ToolWriting a book in 2025 is not just about putting words on a page—it's about creating a strategic asset that can transform your business and personal brand. Jennifer emphasizes that a book functions as a tangible symbol of authority, often called a “$10 business card,” and provides a global platform for your message. Beyond credibility, books open doors to speaking engagements, media appearances, consulting opportunities, and strategic partnerships that would otherwise be out of reach.Another important point Jennifer makes is that publishing today is democratized. With self-publishing, hybrid models, and AI tools, entrepreneurs now have unprecedented access to producing high-quality content while directly connecting with their audience. AI can help with research, outlining, and drafting—but the unique voice and expertise of the author remain irreplaceable.Finally, a book is not about filling pages—it's about transformation. Jennifer stresses the importance of curating ideas, reverse-engineering your content for impact, and keeping your audience's journey front and center. When done strategically, a book becomes a tool to guide, inspire, and educate readers, creating measurable business growth and influence.About Jennifer CrosswhiteJennifer Crosswhite is a seasoned book coach, editor, and CEO and Owner of Tandem Services Inc., with extensive experience in traditional publishing, self-publishing, and coaching first-time authors.

Unmasking Shame, Myths, and Healing for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse: An Interview with Jeremy Sachs Curt and Katie chat with Jeremy Sachs, integrated therapist and Narrative Exposure Therapist, about supporting male survivors of sexual abuse. We explore harmful myths and stereotypes, the developmental impacts of sexual trauma, and the systemic and cultural barriers that make healing harder. Jeremy shares therapeutic approaches for early disclosure, building safety, and integrating trauma-specific interventions like Narrative Exposure Therapy, as well as the role of transformative justice in recovery. About Our Guest:Jeremy Sachs is an integrated therapist and Narrative Exposure Therapist from London, UK, now based in Glasgow, Scotland. Since the 2010s, he has run services that support individuals living with trauma or marginalisation, helping them to connect and find community. In 2016, he focused on developing therapy services for men, boys, and trans people who have survived sexual abuse and rape. He runs recovery groups and a private practice both online and in-person. Key Takeaways for Therapists: Myths like “men always want sex” or “they must have enjoyed it” are harmful and based on misunderstandings. Sexual abuse rarely occurs in isolation—context and systemic oppression matter. Containment and safety should precede trauma-specific work. Narrative Exposure Therapy can help integrate fragmented memories. Transformative justice offers community-based alternatives to the criminal justice system.
