In 'Meanwhile', Jacqueline Woodson and Catherine Gund weave together the words of literary legends to explore the intersection of art, grief, and social justice.Description: James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Muhammad Ali and Nina Simone are some of the artists featured in the moving new film “Meanwhile”, from National Book Award-winner Jacqueline Woodson and Emmy-nominated producer & director Catherine Gund. Their meditations on grief, art, breath and more are beautifully woven together as the film poses the question, how do you keep breathing amidst the chaos? Catalyzed by the Covid-19 pandemic and the police killing of George Floyd, Gund and Woodson tap into our shared existence. The artists featured in the docu-poem, with a haunting soundtrack by Meshell Ndegeocello, work through questions of race, political violence, resistance and identity — so much of what shapes our lives and relationships. “This is not a love letter to this country but to us inside this country,” says Woodson in the film. “We see us. We love us. We make eye contact and nod to us”. In this conversation with Laura Flanders, the trio of longtime friends discuss the film from Aubin Pictures, the losses they experienced in the 80s, and how the arts and poetry can compel us to enact change. Can we reclaim the “meanwhile”? All that, plus a commentary from Laura on hers.“. . . Having lost people so early and in such quick succession and under such an awful oppressive situation [of AIDS in the 80s], . . . each one of those hit so hard. We wrote and we made movies, and we had these elaborate memorials, and we did things to process and grieve. I am really holding on to that approach to death and dying as we get older, because I don't wanna ever not care.” - Catherine GundGuests:• Catherine Gund: Producer & Director, Meanwhile; Filmmaker & Founder, Aubin Pictures• Jacqueline Woodson: Writer & Performer, Meanwhile; Author, Brown Girl Dreaming; Founder, Baldwin for the Arts; The Elders Project, Columbia Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

What if conflict isn't something to avoid, but rather a doorway to creativity and growth? In this episode, Philippa and Penelope Waller challenge us to transform how we view disagreement in our personal and professional lives.Most of us instinctively avoid conflict or approach it as a win-lose battle. We've been conditioned to see tension as destructive rather than potentially creative. What if we viewed it as a refreshing alternative: conflict as the spark that ignites innovation and deeper understanding. Like "the grit in your oyster" that eventually produces a pearl, our most uncomfortable moments often lead to our greatest growth.When working with teams and organisations, Philippa and Penelope explore how conflict signals what needs attention in our relationships and systems. That persistent friction between colleagues? It's rarely about the surface issue – it's the system's way of highlighting deeper needs for recognition, clarity, or fairness. By listening to conflict rather than suppressing it, we access insights that might otherwise remain hidden.Also how can a understanding of the drama triangle (victim-persecutor-rescuer) make us work towards the winner's triangle (creator-challenger-coach). This powerful framework offers concrete roles we can intentionally adopt to transform unproductive tensions into opportunities for collaboration.Ready to stop sweeping tensions under the carpet and instead harness their creative potential?Subscribe to continue exploring how intentional communication can transform your relationships and unlock your potential as a four-dimensional human being.

Send a message directly to Lee ( Include your details )Transforming homes and maximizing sale prices through strategic renovations – that's the game-changing approach young agent Jesse Maxwell is pioneering in Newcastle's competitive real estate market.At just 25 years old, Jesse brings a fresh perspective to property sales, leveraging his background in property management to deeply understand what owners need and what buyers truly value. Working with properties around the million-dollar mark, he's discovered that half-finished renovations and dated presentations are the biggest obstacles to achieving premium prices.Jesse shares a compelling case study where he was the fourth agent to assess a partially renovated property following a separation. While other agents valued it at $800,000 and pushed for an immediate listing, Jesse spotted untapped potential. Using an innovative financing solution through SaleFunder, he secured $29,000 to complete essential finishing work – installing missing flooring, cornicing, skirting boards, and paint. The result? A stunning transformation that sold for $970,000 at auction.The philosophy is simple yet powerful: buyers consistently overestimate renovation costs and use unfinished elements to negotiate aggressive discounts. "Something that might only cost $10,000 or $15,000 to fix, they automatically assume is a $50,000 fix and ask for that adjustment," Jesse explains. By eliminating these objections before listing, property improvement plans create finished products that command premium prices in today's selective market.Beyond renovation strategy, Jesse has successfully pioneered digital timed auctions in a market where conventional wisdom said they wouldn't work. The transparency of online bidding coupled with automatic time extensions has created a more comfortable environment for serious buyers to make rational decisions without the pressure of traditional auctions.Ready to discover how strategic improvements could transform your property's value?

Tamsin Chislett, CEO of Hyfe, highlights the importance of understanding coughs for healthcare providers, the lack of information about coughs, and Hyfe's advancements in building a database and developing biomarkers based on different kinds of coughs. Hyfe's AI technology, which can integrate with other devices and platforms for remote patient monitoring, enables passive, continuous tracking of cough patterns that can be used in research and clinical trials. Opportunities for digital therapeutics include chronic cough, COPD, lung cancer, respiratory infections, and cardiovascular diseases. Tamsin elaborates, "Hyfe is the global leader in AI power. The problem we're trying to solve is that you have this really common symptom cough, which has been experienced by every human alive and is experienced daily by many people, yet to discuss it, measure it, monitor it, or even manage it, we're entirely reliant on subjective data. Everyone's had the experience of going into a primary care doctor, and saying I've got a really bad cough. The doctor says How bad is it, and is it getting worse? We don't even have the proper language to describe it." "We want to get to the point where, in those situations, the doctor can start to get objective data about the patient's cough patterns and use that instead. The way we see it is that there was a time when to measure fever, we put a hand on a patient's forehead. We hope that within a few years, thanks to Hyfe's technology, we should not be in the same position with cough. So we're always looking to have objective data." "I think the interesting thing about cough is that because it's never been measurable, it hasn't been studied anywhere near as much as it probably should have. And even in the first five years of Hyfe's life, we've seen an explosion in cough-related science now that it's possible to monitor coughs with a smartphone, a smart watch, or anything with a microphone running Hyfe's technology. We've seen exciting science across a whole range, many of which are intuitive when you start thinking about cough, acute cough is a big one and respiratory infections, but there's also chronic cough." "There's also COPD, there's IPF, there's lung cancer, there are so many respiratory and even cardiology diseases where cough is a cardinal symptom, a really clear sign of exacerbation of disease or worsening. However, to date, it has not been able to be measured, and cough monitoring with Hyfe allows you to monitor cough over time, see patterns, and use those patterns to optimize patient care in the future." #HyfeAI #ChronicCough #HyfeDTx #DigitalHealth #AIinHealthcare #DigitalTherapeutics #MedAI #CoughMonitoring #RemotePatientMonitoring #HealthInnovation #RespiratoryAwareness #CoughAwareness #CoughScience #PatientCentricCare hyfe.com Download the transcript here

Send us a textHave you ever wondered why all the mindset work in the world sometimes isn't enough to create the success you're seeking? The answer might be simpler – and more profound – than you think.Kirsten Tyrrel discovered this missing piece after years of entrepreneurial ups and downs. Despite building multiple successful ventures and even reaching millionaire status, she hit emotional roadblocks that mindset tactics alone couldn't overcome. The breakthrough came when she realized success requires more than positive thinking – it demands a genuine emotional connection between mind and body."That is the magical key," Kirsten explains, "and it sounds so hokey and woo-woo, but it truly is." She shares how early in her journey, rather than asking for strategies from a successful mentor, she asked what being a millionaire felt like. That embodied feeling became more real than her current circumstances – and within three years, she had manifested her first million.But the journey wasn't without challenges. After business setbacks and personal tragedy, including her father's unexpected death, Kirsten found herself unable to move forward despite knowing all the right mindset principles. The key to unlocking her progress came through physically processing emotions trapped in her body, not just understanding them intellectually.This conversation dives deep into practical ways to develop emotional intelligence as an entrepreneur. You'll learn to identify your natural stress response, recognize when old stories are limiting your success, and discover how true freedom comes from healing emotional triggers rather than avoiding them. Kirsten also shares powerful insights for parent entrepreneurs on modeling emotional regulation.Whether you're building a business while raising a family or seeking more sustainable ways to achieve your goals, this episode illuminates the crucial connection between emotional intelligence and entrepreneurial success. Take Kirsten's quiz at quizkirstentyrrel.com to discover your natural emotional response type and begin your journey toward greater alignment between your mind, body, and business ambitions.

Srinivas Krishnaswamy, author of "Inbound Marketing in the Age of GPTs," discusses the transformative impact of AI on customer search behaviors and marketing strategies for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). He emphasizes that traditional methods, particularly reliance on Google for information discovery, are evolving. With the rise of generative AI tools like ChatGPT, customers are increasingly turning to these platforms for tailored responses, which necessitates a shift in how MSPs approach their marketing efforts.Krishnaswamy highlights the importance of understanding the changing dynamics of search. While Google continues to dominate, the volume of searches is increasing, and the landscape is becoming more complex. He points out that MSPs must adapt to this new reality by optimizing their online presence not just for Google, but also for AI-driven platforms. This includes implementing schema markup on websites to enhance discoverability and ensuring that content is relevant and valuable to potential customers.The conversation also delves into the significance of community-based marketing. Krishnaswamy advises MSPs to identify where their target customers congregate, whether online or at industry events, and to engage with them authentically. By providing valuable insights and solutions to their problems, MSPs can build credibility and authority in their niche. This approach not only helps in generating leads but also positions MSPs as trusted partners in their customers' decision-making processes.Finally, the discussion touches on the potential pitfalls of over-automation in marketing. While AI tools can streamline content creation, Krishnaswamy warns against relying solely on them without human oversight. Instead, he encourages MSPs to use AI as a tool for brainstorming and generating ideas, while ensuring that the final content reflects their unique voice and expertise. By balancing technology with genuine engagement, MSPs can effectively navigate the evolving marketing landscape.

The directive given to our Green Berets is to win by All Means Available. To do so, requires a combination of ingenuity, understanding the environment, a clear plan and precision execution. Mike Vickers built a career on winning America's shadow wars by All Means Available. Mike started his career as both a non-commissioned and commissioned officer Green Beret before becoming a Paramilitary Operations Officer at the Central Intelligence Agency. Mike later served as the Undersecretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, as well as the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, where he served as the lead Intelligence official at the Pentagon. Secretary Vickers joined Fran Racioppi to chronicle his new book By All Means Available, Memoirs Of A Life in Intelligence, Special Operations and Strategy. He has been a part of almost every American known and unknown conflict for the past 50 years; including leading the defeat of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.We defined how America collects and uses intelligence in both national security and diplomacy. We discussed America's will to win large conflicts, when we've gotten it right and why we get it wrong. And we went deep on the real enemy facing America today.Mike sees the United States in a New Cold War that will challenge the nation like never before. He shares the reasons why America got here, and most importantly his Grand Strategy to rebuild a culture of winning global conflict to solidify America's position as the dominant world power for decades to come.

In this episode, Alex talks with Charna Cassell, a Trauma-Trained Psychotherapist and Sexuality Coach from Oakland who combines somatic coaching, bodywork, and energy medicine in her practice. Charna explains why talk therapy often fails to create change in trauma recovery, and how physical practices can transform the nervous system in ways cognitive understanding cannot.Charna shares her journey through "boundary bootcamp" at Good Vibrations and her training at the Strozzi Institute. "I really needed physical practice," she says about why ten years of talk therapy created awareness but didn't change her nervous system responses.Throughout the conversation, Charna demonstrates somatic exercises that reveal embodied habits. She explains how our bodies show our patterns under minimal stress and introduces the concept that "until you have an embodied No, you can't have a genuine Yes." The episode covers how repetition creates new neural pathways—like a deer path that becomes visible after being walked repeatedly—and how practice transforms boundaries from rigid or absent to compassionate.Key Highlights: 00:00 Introduction to Charna04:06 Boundary bootcamp experience10:15 Strozzi Institute training14:47 Current practice overview18:36 Contact exercise demonstration24:02 Freeze response explained27:45 Boundary progression stages31:42 Healing relationship boundaries33:16 Bodywork benefits described37:54 Kundalini yoga journey40:31 Managing collective fear42:27 Breath of fire technique44:04 Ways to work with CharnaLinks & ResourcesWebsite: https://charnacassell.com/Website:https://passionatelife.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laidopenpodcastFacebookL: https://www.facebook.com/LaidOpenPodcast/ Podcast: https://charnacassell.com/laidopen/Find us Online: Sign up for our newsletter to learn more about the power of embodiment:https://www.redbeardsomatictherapy.com/Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RedBeardSomaticTherapyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/redbeardsomatictherapyLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandermgreene

Today, I am honored to welcome Dr. Rob Ramseyer, the esteemed Vice President of Athletics and Strategic Expansion at Friends University, as well as the co-founder of the Impact Coaching Project. This initiative is dedicated to nurturing coaches who emphasize the holistic development of student-athletes, advocating for a coaching philosophy that extends beyond mere performance metrics. Throughout our dialogue, we will explore Dr. Ramsmer's conviction that authentic coaching fosters not only athletic prowess but also personal growth and resilience in young athletes. His accomplishments include authoring a book on athletic leadership and hosting the podcast "Beyond Coaching," where he delves into similar themes of effective mentorship and community building in sports. Join us as we discuss the transformative potential of coaching and the critical importance of prioritizing relationships within athletic environments.The conversation with Dr. Rob Ramseyer is a thought-provoking exploration of the current state of coaching and athlete development in collegiate sports. As the Vice President of Athletics and Strategic Expansion at Friends University, Dr. Ramseyer has pioneered the Impact Coaching Project, which seeks to revolutionize coaching by strongly emphasizing the holistic development of student-athletes. This initiative serves as a testament to his belief that effective coaching extends beyond the mere metrics of performance, advocating instead for a model that nurtures athletes' physical and emotional well-being. During our discussion, Dr. Ramseyer sheds light on the changing landscape of youth athletics, highlighting the increasing pressures that young athletes face in today's society, mainly due to the advent of social media and heightened expectations from families. He articulates the necessity for coaches to build meaningful relationships with their athletes, as evidenced by research conducted at Friends University, which indicates that the primary motivator for student-athletes is their relationships with teammates and coaches. This finding prompts a reevaluation of coaching practices, urging a shift towards fostering environments where athletes feel valued and supported.Furthermore, Dr. Ramseyer reflects on his personal experiences as a young coach and the mentors who shaped his journey, providing insight into the importance of guidance in the development of effective coaching philosophies. He emphasizes the need for structured training programs for coaches, advocating for a model that includes elements of emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and community building. The dialogue culminates in discussing Dr. Ramsmer's forthcoming publications and ongoing research endeavors, which aim to explore the dynamics of team culture and athlete motivation. Ultimately, Dr. Ramsmer's vision for the future of coaching prioritizes character development and relational engagement, striving to cultivate a generation of athletes who are not only skilled in their sports but also well-rounded individuals equipped to navigate life's challenges.Takeaways: The Impact Coaching Project aims to cultivate coaches who emphasize the holistic development of student-athletes, transcending mere performance metrics. Dr. Rob Ramseyer's insights reveal that relationships significantly motivate athletes, with teammates and family taking precedence over coaches. Coaches today must adapt to a changing landscape where information and social media influence young athletes' perceptions and expectations. A successful coaching culture prioritizes competence, care, and consistent character in building strong relationships with athletes. The evolution of youth sports has led to increased pressures on athletes and families, necessitating a more thoughtful approach to coaching and mentorship. Rob's reflections on mentorship emphasize the profound impact that...
