Today, we are joined by Philip Diehl, former Director of the United States Mint and President of U.S. Money Reserve, for a timely conversation about gold's renewed role in a world shaped by inflation, geopolitical stress, central bank demand, and uncertainty around fiat currencies. Philip explains why gold's recent rise is not simply a speculative move, but part of a broader shift in how governments, institutions, and individuals think about wealth preservation. From central bank buying and Chinese retail demand to Bitcoin, ETFs, physical coins, and the limits of the U.S. dollar system, this episode explores why gold is once again moving from the margins of portfolios toward the center of the macro conversation.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on LinkedIn.Follow Philip on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Why Philip Diehl believes investors should “buy the dip” in gold01:14 - Philip's career from public policy to the U.S. Mint06:08 - What U.S. Money Reserve does and why physical gold matters08:08 - The forces behind gold's powerful multi-year rally13:08 - Central bank buying, dollar risk, and portfolio diversification19:05 - Why some central banks may sell gold during stress22:18 - Chinese demand, cultural memory, and the role of retail buyers28:32 - Why Philip does not see Bitcoin as “digital gold”32:44 - Physical gold versus ETFs and the question of ownership37:10 - How retail investors behave during gold bull markets41:16 - Portfolio allocation and the changing case for gold45:52 - Why Philip expects gold to outperform equities over the next decade48:15 - Why today's gold market is not a repeat of the 1970s52:21 - Gold miners, production limits, and rising extraction costs55:58 - Fort Knox, revaluing U.S. gold reserves, and political reality59:24 - Lessons from Philip's career and how to learn more about goldCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about one of the most important questions every creator eventually asks: How do I find my creative voice? Or maybe you've heard it framed another way: How do I develop a personal style? How do I make work that actually feels like mine? How do I stop copying what everyone else is doing and start creating from a place that is uniquely my own? This question comes up all the time because it sits at the center of the creative life. Whether you're a photographer, designer, writer, filmmaker, musician, entrepreneur, or someone who simply feels called to make things, there comes a point where technical ability is not enough. You can know how to use the tools. You can understand the software. You can study the masters. You can follow the trends. You can learn the settings, the systems, the formulas, the workflows. But eventually, you hit a deeper question: What makes this mine? That is what this episode is about. And I want to be clear from the start: finding your creative voice is not about inventing some perfect brand identity overnight. It's not about locking yourself into one narrow lane forever. It's not about deciding, intellectually, "This is my style now," and then forcing every piece of work to fit inside that box. Your creative voice is much more organic than that. It is your fingerprint. Your point of view. Your taste. Your history. Your instincts. Your lived experience. Your way of seeing the world, translated through the things you make. And the only way to find it is to make. Not once. Not occasionally. Not only when you feel inspired. Again and again and again. The Big Question: What Is Personal Style? Personal style can sound like one of those vague creative phrases that floats around in the universe without ever becoming useful. People say things like, "You need to find your style," or "You need to develop your voice," but what does that actually mean? At its simplest, personal style is the thing that makes your work recognizable. It's the equivalent of your handwriting. You don't have to think about your handwriting every time you write your name. It's not something you consciously construct letter by letter. It just comes out of you because it has been shaped by repetition, history, muscle memory, and identity. Your creative style works the same way. It is the unique aesthetic fingerprint that you unconsciously put on everything you make. Think about music. You can hear a Prince song for just a few measures and know it's Prince before his voice even enters. There's a signature there. A rhythm. A tone. A sensibility. A way the work announces itself. Think about photography. You can look at an Ansel Adams landscape and recognize the scale, the drama, the tonality, the reverence for nature. It has a point of view. That's personal style. It's not just what you make. It's how you see. It's what you notice. It's what you repeat without realizing you're repeating it. It's the pattern behind the work. And that matters because without some kind of recognizable point of view, you're just bouncing around. You might be technically capable. You might be able to make a good photograph, a good song, a good design, a good film, a good essay. But if there's nothing distinctive about the way you make it, people have a harder time connecting that work back to you. Personal style is what helps the work become yours. Why Your Creative Voice Matters There are two big reasons personal style matters. The first is personal. If you spend your life chasing everyone else's style, you're going to end up miserable. Now, let's be honest: early in the creative journey, imitation is part of the process. That's normal. That's healthy. That's how we learn. You see someone whose work you admire and you try to understand how they did it. You copy a lighting setup. You study a sentence structure. You recreate a beat. You reverse-engineer a design. You try to make something that looks or sounds or feels like the thing that inspired you. There's nothing wrong with that. In the beginning, imitation helps you learn how to move the tools around. It helps you close the gap between what you see in your mind and what you're actually capable of making. But imitation is not the destination. If all you ever do is copy what's trendy, or borrow someone else's point of view, or chase whatever style is getting attention right now, you are not expressing yourself. You are expressing the culture around you. And that is a direct path to burnout. Because the reason we make things, at the deepest level, is expression. We make because something inside wants to come out. We make because it feels good to turn an internal experience into something real in the world. We make because creativity is one of the ways we become more fully ourselves. If your work is always a response to someone else's style, you lose that connection. You become a mirror instead of a source. The second reason personal style matters is practical. If you want to do creative work professionally, you do not want to be paid merely for your time. There is nothing wrong with getting paid for your time. That can be part of the path. But the ultimate goal is not to be treated like a pair of hands. The ultimate goal is to be paid for your vision. You don't want someone to hire you because you own a camera. You want them to hire you because only you see the assignment that way. You don't want someone to hire you because you can operate software. You want them to hire you because your taste, your judgment, and your perspective create value. You don't want to be interchangeable. The most recognized creatives in the world are not valuable because they can execute a task. They are valuable because they bring a specific point of view to the table. That's what separates craft from commodity. When people can recognize your fingerprints on the work, when they can say, "That feels like you," you begin to move into a different category. You're no longer just competing on speed, price, or availability. You're competing on vision. And that is where the upside is. The Creative Gap One of the most important parts of this conversation is what Ira Glass famously called the creative gap. The creative gap is the distance between what you can see in your mind and what you're actually capable of making right now. Every creator knows this feeling. You have a vision. You can feel what you want the work to be. You can almost see it, hear it, taste it. But when you sit down to make the thing, the result falls short. The photograph doesn't look the way it looked in your head. The song doesn't hit the way you imagined. The essay feels clumsy. The design feels flat. The film doesn't carry the emotion you hoped it would. That gap is frustrating. But it is also the path. Craft is how you close the gap. You make, you study, you adjust, you learn, you make again. Over time, your ability catches up to your taste. You get better at translating the thing in your mind into the thing in the world. But here's the trap: If you spend that entire process only copying other people, you might improve technically without ever developing a voice of your own. You might become skilled at imitation. But mastery is not just being able to reproduce what already exists. Mastery is being able to make what only you can make. Personal Style Is Your Point of View Your creative voice is not just an aesthetic. It's not just black and white photography, clean typography, heavy brushstrokes, fast sketches, cinematic lighting, sparse production, or bold color. Those things can be part of a style, but they are not the whole thing. Your style is the point of view underneath those choices. It is the reason you reach for certain tools. The reason you frame things a certain way. The reason you simplify here and exaggerate there. The reason you are drawn to certain subjects, moods, colors, rhythms, textures, or stories. The episode uses a great example from the world of design: imagine trying to design a tennis shoe inspired by a glass bottle of gin. Suddenly, the bottle becomes a filter. You might notice the transparency, the edges, the shape, the weight, the way light moves through it. Those qualities start informing the shoe. That is a useful way to think about style. Your personal style is the filter your work passes through. It's not limited to one medium. If you are a photographer, designer, musician, writer, or multidisciplinary creator, your style should still carry across what you make. The medium may change, but the point of view travels. That's when people can look at a piece and say: That feels like you. Not because you repeated yourself mechanically, but because your way of seeing is present. How Do You Find Your Creative Voice? Here's the part people don't always want to hear: It takes time. There is no shortcut that replaces making the work. You can think about your style. You can journal about it. You can moodboard it. You can study other artists. You can talk about your influences. You can define your values. All of that can be useful. But none of it replaces the act of making. The best way to find your personal style is to make as much as you can, at a regular cadence, ideally as quickly and consistently as possible. Because your style is not something you force into existence. It is something you discover through repetition. You make one thing. Then ten things. Then a hundred things. At first, it may feel random. You may feel like you're all over the place. You may try on other people's approaches. You may borrow. You may experiment. You may make things that don't feel like you at all. That's okay. The making is the sorting mechanism. Over time, patterns start to appear. You notice what you keep returning to. You notice what feels alive. You notice what feels false. You notice the choices you make when nobody is telling you what to do. And eventually, if you put twenty of your pieces on a wall mixed in with other people's work, someone should be able to walk in and pick yours out. That is the litmus test. Not because every piece looks identical, but because there is a through-line. There is a signal. There is a voice. Your Style Might Not Be What You Expected One of the most important reminders in this episode is that your personal style may not be what you thought it would be. You might think you want to be known for clean, minimal design, only to realize that your real energy comes through in fast, expressive, messy sketches. You might think you want to make quiet, polished work, only to discover that your strength is intensity, humor, or chaos. You might think you want to be one kind of artist, but the work keeps revealing that you are someone else. That can be uncomfortable. But it can also be liberating. Your creative voice is not always the version of yourself you imagined. Sometimes it is the version of yourself that keeps showing up when you stop performing. This is why making is so important. You cannot discover your true style by sitting around and thinking about who you wish you were. You discover it by creating enough evidence that you can finally see who you actually are. What You'll Hear in This Episode This episode breaks the question of creative voice into three practical parts: what personal style is, why it matters, and how to actually find it. Here are the ideas worth listening for: Why personal style is like your creative handwriting — the unconscious fingerprint you put on everything you make Why imitation is useful early on, but dangerous if you never move beyond it How the creative gap works — and why craft is what helps you close it Why you don't want to be paid only for your time, but for your point of view How recognizable style builds value, trust, and creative opportunity Why you can't force your personal style — you have to uncover it through making Why making 100 things teaches you more than endlessly thinking about the perfect direction How specialization can actually create more freedom, not less Why trying to be everything to everyone will dilute your work and drain your energy Timecodes So You Can Jump to What You Need If you're not listening straight through, here are a few landmarks to help you find the part that speaks to where you are right now: 01:45 – Welcome and the big question: how do you develop a personal style? 02:04 – The three-part framework: what personal style is, why it matters, and how to find it 02:50 – What personal style actually means for photographers, designers, writers, musicians, and creators 03:18 – Personal style as your creative handwriting or aesthetic fingerprint 04:34 – Why developing a personal style matters 05:25 – Why chasing everyone else's style leads to misery and burnout 06:08 – Ira Glass, the creative gap, and the path toward mastery 07:10 – Why you want to be paid for your point of view, not just your time 09:46 – Edward de Bono, Stefan Sagmeister, and using outside references to understand style 11:31 – The tactical answer: how to actually find your personal style 11:46 – Why there are no shortcuts — and why making is the path 12:32 – Why your unique life experience is the source of your point of view 13:41 – Make one thing, then ten things, then one hundred things 14:00 – The litmus test: can someone identify your work in a crowd? 16:06 – Why you cannot be all things to all people 16:55 – How mastery in one area can help you learn and master many things 18:01 – Why specialization unlocks opportunity instead of limiting it Read This If You Feel Like You Haven't Found Your Voice Yet If you feel like you haven't found your creative voice yet, I want you to hear this: You are not behind. You are in the process. It is easy to look at someone whose style seems fully formed and assume they were born with it. But what you are seeing is usually the result of years of making, failing, repeating, refining, borrowing, rejecting, and returning to the work. Style is not a lightning bolt. It is sediment. It builds layer by layer through practice. Every project teaches you something. Every experiment leaves a trace. Every failed attempt helps you understand what is not yours. Every finished piece gives you more information. So if you feel unclear, the answer is not to wait until you feel certain. The answer is to make. Make the thing. Then make another. Then make another. Then look back and listen for the pattern. Your voice is not hiding from you. It is waiting for enough evidence to reveal itself. The Danger of Chasing Trends There is a difference between research and copying. Looking broadly at culture, studying what's happening, noticing what inspires you, and learning from other artists is part of being creatively alive. But copying one person's style over and over again is not research. It's imitation. And if you spend too much time chasing trends, you train yourself to look outward for permission instead of inward for direction. Trends can teach you what's happening now. They cannot tell you who you are. That doesn't mean you need to ignore the world. It means you need to metabolize what you see. Take in inspiration. Study widely. Notice what moves you. But then ask: What do I have to say about this? What is my relationship to this idea? What part of this connects to my lived experience? How does this become mine? Your work does not become original because it appears out of nowhere. Nothing does. Your work becomes original when your influences pass through your point of view. Don't Overthink It. Make It. There is a line in this episode that matters: Don't overthink it. Just make it. That does not mean thinking has no place in the creative process. Reflection matters. Strategy matters. Taste matters. Intention matters. But thinking cannot replace making. A lot of creators get stuck because they want to understand their style before they create enough work to reveal it. That's backwards. You don't find your voice and then make the work. You make the work and find your voice through it. This is why personal projects are so valuable. They give you a place to create without needing permission. They give you a space to follow curiosity. They let you experiment without the pressure of a client, an audience, or a perfect outcome. Personal projects are where your style gets room to breathe. Not everything has to be monetized. Not everything has to be optimized. Not everything has to be posted. Not everything has to become part of your portfolio. Sometimes the point is simply to learn what happens when you follow the impulse. Questions to Ask Yourself If you want to turn this episode into action, take a few minutes and sit with these questions: What kind of work do I keep returning to, even when nobody asks me to? Whose style am I currently copying, and what am I learning from that imitation? Where have I mistaken trend-chasing for creative growth? What choices show up again and again in my work? What subjects, themes, colors, sounds, rhythms, or ideas keep pulling me back? What would I make if I stopped trying to be impressive? What would I make if I stopped trying to be for everyone? Can someone recognize my work without seeing my name attached to it? What do I need to make 10 more of before I judge whether I have a style? A Simple Practice for Finding Your Creative Voice Here's a simple exercise: Choose one format. A photo series, a set of sketches, a short essay series, a beat tape, a design study, a daily video, whatever fits your craft. Make 10 versions. Not one perfect version. Ten honest attempts. Do them quickly enough that you can't over-polish the life out of them. Put them side by side. Look for what repeats. Ask someone you trust what feels most like you. Then make 10 more. The goal is not to force consistency. The goal is to gather evidence. What do you keep doing naturally? What feels alive? What feels borrowed? What feels like performance? What feels like truth? Your style is hidden in those patterns. Specialization Is Not a Trap A lot of creators resist personal style because they worry it will limit them. They think, "If I become known for one thing, I'll lose my range." But specialization does not have to mean becoming narrow. It means becoming recognizable. You can have range and still have a voice. In fact, range might be part of your style. But if nobody can identify the through-line, if your work feels like a different person made it every time, it becomes harder for people to understand what you stand for creatively. That does not mean you have to lock yourself into black and white portraits forever. It means you have to make enough work that your point of view becomes visible across the range. The goal is not sameness. The goal is coherence. You Cannot Be All Things to All People This is one of the hardest lessons in creative work. You cannot be all things to all people. If you try, your work will suffer. Your energy will suffer. Your sense of self will suffer. When you chase 58 different styles because you want everyone to like you, you dilute the very thing that makes your work valuable. The goal is not to please everyone. The goal is to express something true enough that the right people recognize it. That takes courage because it means letting go of some possibilities. It means not being for every client, every audience, every trend, every platform, every room. But that is also where freedom begins. When you stop trying to be everything, you can finally become something specific. And specific is powerful. The Path Is Create, Share, Sustain The loop is simple, but not easy: Create. Share. Sustain. Get feedback. Make again. That's how you grow. Not by waiting for clarity. Not by endlessly planning. Not by collecting inspiration forever. Not by thinking your way into a fully formed identity. You create. You put work into the world. You pay attention. You learn. You keep going. Over time, that loop builds both style and mastery. And here's the advanced part: once you learn how to master one thing, you start to understand how learning itself works. You begin to recognize the patterns of growth. You understand what deliberate practice feels like. You know how to move through frustration. You know how to close the creative gap. Mastery in one area can become a doorway into mastery in others. But first, you have to do the work in front of you. The Core Idea Your creative voice is not something you find by waiting. It is something you uncover by making. Your personal style is your point of view made visible. It is the creative fingerprint that appears when you have made enough work to stop performing and start revealing. Yes, study the people you admire. Yes, learn the tools. Yes, imitate in the beginning. Yes, experiment broadly. But then return to the work. Make one thing. Then ten. Then a hundred. Look for the patterns. Trust what keeps showing up. Let your lived experience inform the choices. Stop trying to be all things to all people. The world does not need a perfect copy of someone else. It needs the thing only you can make. Until next time: focus on the making, trust your point of view, and remember — your creative voice is already in there. The work is how you bring it out.
"The work is never done. You just become a different version of yourself." In this Case Study episode, Heather and Tara Morse dig into how she built her practice by following a path that didn't always make sense to others and navigating skepticism while staying anchored in what she knew was right for her. This conversation moves beyond surface-level change and into the real work: learning to shift from rumination into self-awareness, choosing how you want to feel, and taking action from that place, and developing the kind of self-trust that can only come from doing hard things on purpose. Because at the end of the day, growth shows up in the uncomfortable moments where you're asked to trust yourself before you feel ready, and you can't outsource feeling whole. What to listen for: ☑️ Why moving from rumination into self-awareness is essential for change ☑️ One of the first big hurdles in growth is having enough self-trust to get support ☑️ The importance of understanding where we are to understand where to go next "A lot of that is honestly getting to that point where you're expanding, then you're uncomfortable, and then you have this felt experience of, 'I did it.' If we don't challenge ourselves, make ourselves uncomfortable, and put ourselves in those situations, there's no self-trust." ☑️ In order to have that felt experience of self-trust, you have to challenge yourself ☑️ Why hard skills are cheap and emotional intelligence and soft skills matter most ☑️ We can't outsource feeling whole, and no technology is going to change that "It's always going to be the small actions. I had to let myself feel what I was feeling. I knew that was part of it. But then I had to make a choice that I didn't want to feel this way anymore. So part of that action was taking the step, reaching out for help." ☑️ The work isn't waiting for motivation; it's embodying discipline in necessary ways ☑️ The only thing that creates transformation is boundaries that you hold with yourself ☑️ How increasing your capacity can increase your sense of lightness at the same time *** About Tara Morse: Tara Morse is a licensed therapist, entrepreneur, and the founder of 3Rivers Therapists, a multi-location mental health practice serving children, adolescents, and adults across Pennsylvania.

You want to feel God's presence every day. Not just on Sunday when the worship is good and the message hits. You want to experience His power and peace in the middle of the hard Wednesday. In the middle of the crisis. In the middle of the ordinary overwhelming mess of daily life. And if you are honest, you have never said that out loud. But it is the truest thing you have felt in a long time. This episode is for you. This is the Word of God taught straight for the Christian woman who is done with the world's ways and ready to walk in the power and presence of God every single day. Inside this episode I am sharing: The real reason you feel God on Sunday but cannot find Him by Monday — and what the Bible says about that gap. What Ecclesiastes teaches us about the God-shaped void that hustle, self-help, and worldly wisdom can never fill. Why so many Christian women are living far below the anointing and authority God has already given them. T he truth about manifestation culture, prosperity preaching, and name it and claim it — and why Romans 1:25 calls us back to the real thing. What Luke 10:19, Romans 8:11, 1 John 2:27, and Acts 1:8 say about the power and authority already living inside you as a daughter of the Most High God. A personal story of standing on the Word of God in the middle of something hard — and the exact declarations I spoke over my situation. This is not another self help system with Jesus sprinkled in. This is identity. Life in Christ. With the Word as your sword your shield and your strength. SCRIPTURES IN THIS EPISODE: Matthew 9:24 — She is not dead she is only sleeping Ecclesiastes 1 — Vanity and the God shaped void John 15:5 — Apart from me you can do nothing Luke 10:19 — I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy Ephesians 2:6 — Seated with Christ in heavenly realms Romans 8:37 — More than conquerors James 4:7 — Resist the devil and he will flee 2 Timothy 1:7 — Spirit of power love and a sound mind 1 John 2:27 — The anointing abides in you 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 — God anointed you and set his seal on you Romans 8:11 — Resurrection power living inside you Acts 1:8 — Dunamis power of the Holy Spirit 1 Peter 2:9 — Chosen royal priesthood holy nation Joel 2:28 — Your daughters will prophesy Romans 1:25 — Exchanging truth for a lie Isaiah 30:15 — In returning and rest is your strength Zechariah 4:6 — Not by might nor by power but by my Spirit Galatians 5:16 — Walk by the Spirit 2 Corinthians 6:17 — Come out and be separate Proverbs 3:5-6 — Trust in the Lord with all your heart Matthew 11:28-30 — Come to me all who are weary ARE YOU READY TO WALK IN HIS PRESENCE EVERY DAY?

Kristen Wager introduces a new method of monetizing recipes called Recifix and shows us how to build a more stable and diversified food blog business in the face of AI and traffic volatility. Kristen is a PhD-trained consumer insights leader with deep expertise in the creator economy. Over the past decade, she's led research initiatives at Kellogg's Company supporting top CPG brands like Special K, Cheez-It, and Morning Star. Most recently she built research programs for the top 100 food creators at Raptive where she gained firsthand insight into the food creator ecosystem and the challenges creators face. That experience led her to create Recifix - a cleaner, calmer way to find, plan, and share ad-free recipes, all while supporting the creators behind them. Relying on Google traffic alone is becoming increasingly risky. This episode explains what is actually changing in search, why AI is accelerating that shift, and how experienced bloggers can build stronger revenue streams that are not dependent on algorithms. Key Topics Discussed: - Traffic from search is not owned and can disappear without warning. - AI is reducing clicks by delivering answers without sending users to blogs. - Real diversification means adding new revenue streams not just new platforms. - Email lists and direct audience relationships protect your business. - Subscription based models create compounding and recurring income. - Trust with your audience is your strongest long term competitive advantage.

If you want to generate passive income with rental properties, reach financial freedom, and make the most money with the least stress, do not do any of these six things. There are six ways to fail at real estate investing in 2026, and if you get even a couple of these wrong on your first or next deal, you could be out of the game for years to come. Trust us, we're now dealing with five-figure emergency costs because we didn't follow the tips we're sharing today. Both Henry and Dave have reached financial freedom in around a decade by doing real estate the right way. But that doesn't mean they haven't made very costly mistakes. Whether it's tenants, repairs, using the wrong calculations, or waiting to talk to this specific person, there are a few crucial landmines to avoid on your next investment property. So, we're going through the six ways to fail at real estate investing. If you do the opposite of these six, you'll make money faster, with way less stress, scale smarter, and probably reach financial freedom even quicker than Henry or Dave. In This Episode We Cover What Dave does every single time before he hires someone to work on his rental The one mistake that led to an $80,000 (that's right) repair bill The wrong way to calculate “cash flow” that will have you losing money every month Why most new investors waste months or years by not talking to these two people Are home inspections really worth it? This is who should (and shouldn't) pay for one The one true way to tell if a tenant will be a great renter or a nightmare And So Much More!

In this lively and in-depth discussion, Tom Bilyeu and Drew tackle some of the most pressing economic and political issues making headlines today.

Tom Bilyeu and Drew dig into why housing costs are falling in cities like Dallas, how deregulation is reshaping the market, and what we can learn from China's demographic time bomb. The show doesn't shy away from controversy, diving into the indictment threats against Fauci, the “billionaire tax” debate, and a wild viral story about corporate misconduct.

In this extended Q&A special, Krishna Das offers powerful insights on navigating the turmoil of the human experience through devotional practice.This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das offers down-to-earth advice on:The name of God as an echo of our own beingTuning ourselves into the mantra Replacing greed and anxiety with compassion and kindnessThe delusion of self and otherDepression and falling into the trap of self-obsessionBuilding up the strength to let go through daily practice Coming back home to ourselves, to our breathThe lingering connection we have to those we have lostLooking for love within ourselves instead of outside ourselves"Depression expresses itself in many different ways. In general, through regular practice, we obsess about ourselves less and less. Over time, how we feel retreats into the background. It's no longer the most important thing in your life. You wake up ‘How am I now? How am I now?'. All day long, all life long, we are always judging how we feel. As time goes on, you don't give a shit about your state of mind anymore. You're here now, which is where we are.” –Krishna DasAbout Krishna Das:Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Grammy nominee Krishna Das has been called yoga's “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time. His album ‘Live Ananda' (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.KD spent the late '60s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass, and in August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass' own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji. Krishna Das now travels the world sharing his kirtan practice and wonderful stories of his life, of Maharaji-ji, of his life on the Path and discusses bringing chanting into our lives through retreats and workshops. To date, KD has released 15 well-received albums, most recently Trust in the Heart released in October 2017.MORE INFORMATION and OFFERINGS VISIT: https://krishnadas.com/ KRISHNA DAS ON SOCIAL: FACEBOOK: facebook.com/KrishnaDasMusic INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/krishnadasmusic YOUTUBE: / krishnadasmusic X: @krishnadas #KrishnaDasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?” John 14:1–2We all need hope, especially in the face of life's uncertainties. The inspired virtue of hope is much more than wishful thinking. It's a supernatural gift by which we are strengthened to persevere through challenges, trusting in God's promises and His fidelity. Hope sustains us, even in the darkest and most painful moments.In today's Gospel, Jesus offers His disciples—and us—the antidote to fear and uncertainty: hope rooted in faith. His words at the Last Supper are intended to strengthen the Apostles for the sorrowful events of His Passion. Though they did not yet fully understand what was about to unfold, Jesus gave them this loving command: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me.”In the light of the Resurrection, imagine the Apostles reflecting on these words. They would have recalled the confusion and despair they experienced during Jesus' arrest, crucifixion, and burial. But after encountering the risen Christ, their sorrow turned to joy, and their doubt to unshakable faith. In hindsight, they would have realized they didn't need to let their hearts be troubled—they should have trusted in His promise.The Apostles' journey from fear and guilt to hope and strength is a reminder for us all. We, too, can look back on moments when we failed to trust in God during painful times. Despair, one of the most painful human experiences, extinguishes hope and leaves us feeling abandoned. But even in our failures, God is present, ready to transform our weakness into supernatural hope. By humbly confessing our lack of trust, we open our hearts to His healing grace and allow Him to prepare us for future trials.Just as the Apostles grew in hope through their encounter with the risen Christ, so too did Mary, the Mother of Hope, model unwavering faith even in the midst of profound sorrow. Standing at the foot of the Cross, her heart was pierced with sorrow, but she remained firm in faith and trust. Her hope was based on her certainty that God's plan would be fulfilled through her Son's Passion. In times of trial, turn to Mary, who will guide you in placing your trust in her Son and in the eternal promises of His love.Reflect today on Jesus' loving command: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me.” He has prepared a place for you in His Father's house—a place where there will be no more sin and suffering. By keeping your eyes fixed on this eternal promise, you can overcome the fears and struggles of this life, trusting that God's providence will guide you. Trust that He is already preparing a place for you in His Father's house, and let this hope sustain you, transforming every sorrow into joy and every trial into a step closer to the eternal happiness that awaits you.Lord of perfect hope, at times I allow fear and suffering to overwhelm me, leading me to despair. Please give me the grace to listen and respond to Your loving invitation. May I never allow my heart to be troubled by life's circumstances and crosses, but instead, have faith in You and Your promises of everlasting life.

Can faster access to real-world data actually change patient outcomes, or are we still too reliant on controlled clinical trials to see the full picture? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alex Asiimwe, Executive Director of Epidemiology at Gilead Sciences, to explore a topic that doesn't get enough attention in the AI conversation, real-world evidence. While much of the industry focuses on AI in drug discovery or diagnostics, Alex brings a different perspective, one rooted in what happens after treatments reach real patients in the real world. As he explains, clinical trials may be the gold standard, but they are still controlled environments. Real-world evidence is where we begin to understand how treatments perform across diverse populations, healthcare systems, and everyday conditions. What stood out in our conversation is just how messy and fragmented that real-world data can be. Much of it is not collected for research purposes, which means it takes months, sometimes up to a year, to clean, structure, and analyze before it can inform decisions. Alex shares how AI is beginning to change that, not by replacing human expertise, but by automating the most time-consuming parts of the process. If that timeline can be cut in half, the impact is immediate. Faster evidence means faster decisions, and in healthcare, delays in evidence can directly affect patient outcomes. We also explore what Alex describes as the "analytics gap," the disconnect between where data exists and where insights are actually generated. Today, much of the evidence used in drug development still comes from limited datasets, often from a single country or region. Yet the treatments themselves are global. That mismatch creates blind spots, particularly in low and middle-income countries where data is often unstructured, fragmented, or simply not accessible. AI has the potential to standardize and unlock that data, helping to create a more complete and representative view of patient populations worldwide. Of course, the challenges are not just technical. Trust, governance, and politics all play a role in whether data can be shared and used effectively. Alex is clear that the biggest barrier is not the science or the analytics, it is building trust between organizations, governments, and communities. Without that, even the most advanced AI models cannot deliver meaningful outcomes. This conversation also touches on the importance of collaboration, not just between healthcare organizations and technology providers like SAS, but across the global ecosystem. Alex highlights how partnerships, open standards, and shared frameworks can help close the analytics gap and accelerate progress in areas like HIV prevention, where understanding real-world patient behavior is critical. As we wrap up, one message comes through clearly. AI is not a miracle solution, and it will not transform healthcare overnight. But when applied to the right parts of the workflow, especially around data preparation and evidence generation, it can create measurable, meaningful change. So as healthcare leaders look to move beyond pilots and into real impact, the question becomes, are we focusing on the right problems, and are we ready to open up the data needed to solve them?

Even couples committed to a true, fair partnership can fracture under the weight of an invisible kind of work that almost always goes unacknowledged. In this episode, Megan and Joel sit down with Harvard-trained lawyer and bestselling author Eve Rodsky to talk about the reasons couples end up carrying unequal loads, and how ownership and accountability can help partners end cycles of resentment and defensiveness and move into trust. If you're ready to feel like you're on the same team again, this episode is for you.Memorable Quotes“At the time, we had no system for the home. We were using the three most toxic words that anyone can use for a relationship with kids: We were ‘figuring it out.'”“Fair Play is a system to restore accountability and trust, and the way you do that is by using very, very simple organizational principles… It has boundaries, systems, and communication.”“How do you fix that dynamic of somebody who's overwhelmed and somebody who's lost psychological safety in the home? There's only one way and it's ownership. That's it. You restore accountability and trust through ownership.”“There's only one scale that you'll learn in organizational management. There's trust over here, and guess what's on the other end? Control… The more you inch over to control, the more those people don't wanna be in that organization.”“We have to treat the home the same as we would treat any other practice. You're not going to gain muscle without continuing repetitive exercise. This is a muscle and a practice. And so what I would say is: there's no failing at the practice. There's just coming back to the table.”“It's helpful not to frame it like: ‘You totally suck and you need to get it together or else.' But just if you frame it like: ‘I need you.' Like, this is a two person job to run this enterprise called our family, and it's the most important work we're probably ever gonna do.”Key TakeawaysYour Home Is a Complex Organization. A family has all the complexity of any workplace, but almost none of the structure. Applying basic organizational principles—ownership, accountability, clear roles—changes the entire dynamic of how a household runs.The Mental Load Is the Missing Variable. Most conversations about domestic fairness only count visible tasks. But the real imbalance lives in the invisible work: the conceiving, planning, and anticipating that happens before anyone lifts a finger. Until that's counted, the scales will never balance."Figuring It Out" Doesn't Work. When couples default to winging it, the work doesn't disappear. It defaults. And research in 27 countries shows it almost always defaults to the woman. It's the predictable outcome of having no system at all.Ownership is Beginning to End. Helping with a task isn't the same as owning it. True ownership means handling the conception, planning, and execution (CPE) together. When partners only show up for execution, the load stays lopsided, even when everyone is trying.Trust and Control Are on a Seesaw. In the absence of trust, people resort to control, and both sides of that dynamic are miserable. The way back is agreed upon standards and ownership that creates space for partners to carry through and allows for true load-sharing.Fair Play Is a Practice. Like fitness, the system only works if you keep coming back to it. Life changes, standards shift, and cards drift. Couples who flourish are the ones who keep returning to the table.Resourcesfairplaypolicy.orgFair Play Life (Instagram)Fair Play by Eve RodskyMaintenance by Stewart BrandWatch on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/6DBCOtydrRcThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound
