Who doesn't love the smell of a fresh Christmas tree? That unmistakable pine scent isn't just nostalgic — it may actually have measurable benefits. We start this episode with a look at why the aroma of pine can lift your mood, help you relax, and enhance your holiday season.

Whether it's a play, a movie, or a concert, something special happens when people gather — a shared energy that shapes how we feel and how performers respond. But how did audiences become “a thing”? Why do we applaud? And how did we learn the unspoken rules of audience behavior? Theatre historian Robert Viagas, Editor-in-Chief of Encore Monthly and longtime Playbill veteran, joins me to explore the fascinating evolution of audiences. He's author of Right This Way: A History of the Audience. (https://amzn.to/46F8lOS) We love certainty — confident leaders, clear answers, and firm decisions. Yet uncertainty can be surprisingly powerful. Journalist Maggie Jackson explains how not knowing can spark curiosity, deepen thinking, and ultimately lead to better choices. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Business Week, Vanity Fair, and Wired.com. She's the author of Uncertain: The Wisdom and Wonder of Being Unsure.

The future of THC in Texas is once again in jeopardy. Reporters Isaac Yu of the Houston Chronicle and John Moritz of the Austin American-Statesman join host Jeremy Wallace to dig into how the industry is bracing for a new effort to destroy their businesses. Plus, what impact will U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett have on the U.S. Senate race if the outspoken Democrat jumps in, as expected. Finally, U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia stops by the program to vent about how nothing has happened a year after President Donald Trump said he wanted to work with Democrats to help ‘dreamers.” The Houston Democrat says the White House has done little to help advance her legislation that would protect tens of thousands of people in Texas brought to the country as children from being deported.

Florida State landed a large 2026 signing class.✅ 32 total signees✅ A potential quarterback of the future in Jaden O'NealFrom a pure numbers standpoint, this class checks the Quantity box.

Uncertainty reigned early this year with the inauguration of President Donald Trump and his threats to impose tariffs and slash prescription drug prices. But as players in the biopharma industry have gotten a better handle on the impact of these measures and the overall investment landscape, valuations have become more predictable and dealmakers have focused on larger, lower-risk acquisitions. The recent trends bode well for the business development landscape in 2026 and beyond. In this week’s episode of “The Top Line,” Arda Ural, EY Americas life sciences sector leader, joins Fierce Pharma’s Kevin Dunleavy to discuss the dealmaking landscape in the biopharma industry. They dig into the Federal Trade Commission’s scrutiny of M&A transactions, revitalized therapeutic areas, artificial intelligence investment and the emergence of China as an innovation powerhouse.

No matter where you sit within the economy, whether you're a CEO or an entry level worker, everyone's feeling uneasy about AI and the future of work. Uncertainty about career paths, job security, and life planning makes thinking about the future anxiety inducing. In this episode, Daniel Barcay sits down with two experts on AI and work to examine what's actually happening in today's labor market and what's likely coming in the near-term. We explore the crucial question: Can we create conditions for AI to enrich work and careers, or are we headed toward widespread economic instability? Ethan Mollick is a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he studies innovation, entrepreneurship, and the future of work. He's the author of Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI.Molly Kinder is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, where she researches the intersection of AI, work, and economic opportunity. She recently led research with the Yale Budget Lab examining AI's real-time impact on the labor market. RECOMMENDED MEDIACo-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI by Ethan MollickFurther reading on Molly's study with the Yale Budget LabThe “Canaries in the Coal Mine” Study from Stanford's Digital Economy LabEthan's substack One Useful Thing RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESIs AI Productivity Worth Our Humanity? with Prof. Michael SandelWe Have to Get It Right': Gary Marcus On Untamed AIAI Is Moving Fast.

However, that was only among forecasters with more general knowledge (the exact number was 2.3%). Among domain expert forecasters, the odds were an 8.6% chance.Ethan claimed that over 50% of Americans say that they're using AI at work. We weren't able to independently verify this claim and most studies we found showed lower rates of reported use of AI with American workers. There are reports from other countries, notably Denmark, which show higher rates of AI use.Ethan indirectly quoted the Walmart CEO Doug McMillon as having a goal to “keep all 3 million employees and to figure out new ways to expand what they use.” In fact, McMillon's language on AI has been much softer, saying that “AI is expected to create a number of jobs at Walmart, which will offset those that it replaces.” Additionally, Walmart has 2.1 million employees, not 3.

In this episode of the Growing with Purpose podcast, host Jean Moncrieff sits down with Megan Gluth, CEO of Catalynt, for an honest conversation about resilience, self-awareness and leading with steadiness in uncertain times. Megan shares her journey from an “accidental entrepreneur” to the leader of a merged, $100M business. She reflects on how growing up with limited resources shaped her resourcefulness and scrappiness, and how personal loss led her to a new beginning in the Pacific Northwest and eventually into the world of chemical distribution. Through acquisitions and a commitment to unity, she merged three companies into one culture-driven organization: Catalynt. Together, Jean and Megan explore what it means to build a supportive company culture rooted in honesty, trust and truth-telling. Megan describes her daily mindfulness practice, her approach to equanimity during crisis, and the importance of grounding leadership decisions in real data rather than noise. She also speaks candidly about the isolation leaders can face, the unique challenges women encounter in leadership roles, and the power of community and independent advisors. It's a thoughtful and grounded conversation about resourcefulness, courage and the lifelong journey of cultivating self-worth as a leader.

High-level persuasion isn't about getting to "yes" it's about making people feel safe enough to say "no." Chris Voss, former FBI lead international kidnapping negotiator and bestselling author of Never Split The Difference, explains why "no" creates control, why tone shapes neurochemistry, and why objections are really fear, not logic. In this episode of The Next Level Podcast with Jeremy Miner, Chris breaks down tactical empathy, tonality, framing, and the exact neuroscience behind trust, influence, and decision-making.

In the winter months, demand for gasoline in Europe softens, and stocks in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp hub begin to thicken. But recent developments in West African government policy and intermittent maintenance at Nigeria's Dangote refinery have resulted in an unconventionally robust gasoline market, shadowed by an existing tightness in supply. Where have the gasoline markets diverged, and what unusual patterns have we seen in blending economics? In this episode, host Gary Clark is joined by S&P Global Energy reporters Geraint Moody and Matthew Tracy-Cook to discuss these topics.

What if uncertainty isn't something to fear… but one of the greatest advantages you have as a leader? In this episode of The BrainVault Podcast, Larry Olsen sits down with Scott Stirrett — best-selling author of The Uncertainty Advantage, founder of Venture for Canada, and a rising force in modern leadership. Scott's journey from leaving Goldman Sachs at 22 to building a national organization reveals one powerful truth: leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about how you navigate the unknown. Together, Larry and Scott explore how clarity, self-compassion, and purpose can transform the way you lead yourself and others. You'll learn why focusing on the journey builds more momentum than fixating on outcomes, how to quiet the pull of comparison, and why your “true north” becomes the anchor that guides every decision you make. Scott shares the mindset that helped him impact thousands of lives, and Larry brings forward insights that remind us: growth isn't about perfection. It's about who you bring to the moment. If you're ready to lead with more confidence, purpose, and vision—this conversation opens the door. Press play and step into a new perspective on the power of uncertainty.

What do you do when the job you were sure was your “dream job” suddenly ends? That's the spot Ashley Jablow found herself in, and she joins Chris Sandland on this episode of Career Can Do to talk about how that moment knocked the wind out of her and also ended up opening an entirely new path. Today, she runs Wayfinders Collective, but the journey there definitely wasn't a straight line. Ashley shares how she gave herself 60 days to sort out her next move, only to reach the end of that timeline feeling totally stuck. Then, on a red-eye flight where she couldn't sleep, the phrase “creative wayfinding” popped into her mind. She didn't know exactly what it meant yet, but it captured the feeling of navigating life without a map. That idea eventually became the heart of the work she does now. One thing she and Chris laugh about is how people always say they want clarity, when really they're hoping for certainty - and certainty just doesn't exist. Ashley encourages people to take small steps instead of waiting for some big, perfect answer. You learn by moving. She also talks about how important it is to get out of your own head when you're stuck. A coach once told her to put her job search away for a few weeks and do things that actually brought her joy. It sounded ridiculous at first, but it changed everything. Chris chimes in with his own version of that - taking ten minutes to clean something when his brain feels scrambled - because somehow that simple shift resets his whole mood. Ashley also shares the story behind her 100 Days of Designing My Life journals, a pandemic project that started with watercolor postcards and turned into guided reflection tools people now use all over the place.

Pastor Leonard Davis has Week 5 of our Made For More series with his message titled Overcoming Uncertainty. This week's focus reminds us that God's purpose isn't only discovered in the big, life-changing moments—it's found in our everyday faithfulness. The small acts of kindness, the unnoticed service, the steady love we show to others… all of it matters deeply to God.

Guest Jonathan Gluck is a writer and editor whose work has appeared in The New York Times and The Washington Post. He was deputy editor of New York magazine for ten years, after which he worked as managing editor of Vogue. He currently works at Fast Company. His work has been recognized with multiple National Magazine Awards. He is the author of An Exercise in Uncertainty, a memoir of how his journey with incurable cancer has reshaped his identity, marriage, and daily life. Summary In this deeply candid conversation, journalist and author Jon Gluck recounts his 22-year journey living with multiple myeloma, an incurable but treatable bone-marrow cancer. He describes the shock of his diagnosis at age 38 and the long, winding road of tests, remissions, relapses, and emerging treatments that have kept him alive. The discussion explores how Gluck navigates profound uncertainty, the illusion of control, and the emotional toll that chronic illness places not only on the patient but also on family and relationships. He and his wife confronted the strain of living in medical limbo, ultimately turning to therapy to rebuild connection during what he calls becoming "cancer zombies." The conversation also highlights the restorative role of fly fishing, which Gluck describes as one of the few activities capable of placing him entirely in the present. This genuine flow state quiets fear and anxiety. He shares broader lessons about empathy, how to speak to someone with a serious diagnosis, and the importance of intentionally pursuing joy, connection, and meaning while living alongside uncertainty. The Essential Point The heart of the discussion is Jon's insight into living meaningfully in the face of uncertainty. His story shows that while we cannot control the inevitabilities of illness or life's unpredictability, we can control how we show up—seeking information, accepting our limits, nurturing relationships, and embracing activities that restore us. His emphasis on intentionally choosing joy, connection, and presence—even in the shadow of chronic illness—offers a universal lesson for anyone facing their own uncertainties.

This week, I'm talking about one of the most important emotional skills we can build as parents. I call it Uncertainty Tolerance.After a long Thanksgiving trip, a shut-down freeway, a surprise snowstorm, and a mountain of homemade pies, I found myself thinking about how much of parenting happens in the middle. The middle is the space where we have planted seeds and are waiting for results. The space where we want to feel calm and capable, but instead find ourselves worrying, predicting disaster, or questioning everything.In this episode, I explore why our brains resist uncertainty and why we often reach for familiar failure instead of sitting with the possibility that things might turn out well. I share how this shows up with toddlers, tweens, and teens. I walk you through real examples from Target tantrums to bedtime battles to teenage eye rolls and explain how to anchor yourself so that you can stay present and connected instead of reactive.Here is what I cover in this episode:What Uncertainty Tolerance IsThe ability to remain steady in the in-between space between what you want and when the results actually show up, without collapsing or quitting or rushing into negative predictions.Why Our Brains Crave CertaintyA look at how the human brain tries to avoid the unknown by assuming the worst, and how this habit affects the way we interpret our child's behavior.Why You Cannot Rely on Your Child for CertaintyChildren cannot regulate themselves for us. Their moods, reactions, and choices cannot be our source of stability. We learn to create certainty in ourselves.What You Can Be Certain OfYour heart is good. Your love is real. Your intention is strong. Your presence matters. Your influence is greater than you think. And you can learn anything you need to learn.How to Stay Grounded Through Meltdowns and PushbackI share specific examples from everyday parenting moments and show you how to remain steady even when you do not know what comes next.The Identity Shift That Changes EverythingThe grounding thought that can help you stay centered in any hard moment is this: "I am okay even if this does not work right away. My child is okay even if this does not work right away."This is not resignation. It is leadership. It is connection in action. It is the practice of trusting development more than daily behavior.Uncertainty is not a sign that you are doing anything wrong. It is an invitation to grow. You are becoming more emotionally grounded, more connected, and more confident with every messy moment you stay present for. You are doing beautiful work, even when you cannot see the results yet.Thank you for listening and for showing up for your children in ways that no one sees. You matter. Your work matters. And I believe in the direction you are heading.Now go connect your face-off with your kiddos, and I will see you next time.Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

Today, we are excited to welcome Beth Lawrence as our guest. Over the past 20 years, Beth has seen the highs and lows of building and growing a business. Join us as she shares her entrepreneurial journey and the lessons she has learned along the way. Beth's Journey  Beth began college aiming to become a writer or professor, but she quickly realized the academic path was not for her, and pivoted. When she discovered event planning, it clicked instantly. She graduated during the 2008–2009 recession and built her career step by step, seizing each available stable opportunity, from property management to luxury catering, restaurants, startups, and volunteer roles. She created her own non-linear education, intentionally collecting skills from every job she did, no matter how small. That combination of creative, logistical, operational, and strategic strengths now defines her.   Grit and Curiosity Beth treated every role as an opportunity to learn and grow. Administrative jobs, car dealerships, part-time shifts, internships, event operations, and volunteer work all became training grounds. That mindset, coupled with an overachieving work ethic, shaped her as a multidimensional strategist rather than a single-lane planner. Discovering Her Entrepreneurial Drive Beth always felt pulled toward entrepreneurship. After years of gaining experience across various organizations, she found a startup role that excited her. When she was unexpectedly laid off, her husband's encouragement motivated her to launch her own business. Her family and friends supported her decision, recognizing her determination and her ability to succeed. Uncertainty and Early Mistakes Beth acknowledges the uncertainty of entrepreneurship and explains how companies often use that as a lever to keep employees in place. She made plenty of mistakes in her early years but reframes them as essential lessons, embracing the mindset that every failure provides data and every misstep informs the next decision. She still relies on her career mementos file, which contains cards, testimonials, and small wins, to recalibrate during moments of self-doubt. Imposter Syndrome and Growth Even though imposter syndrome still surfaces at unexpected moments, she has overcome much of it by recognizing that rooms full of accomplished people include her for the unique value she brings. Her Niche: Event Logistics and Stakeholder Experience Beth specializes in strategy-driven events for nonprofits, associations, and foundations. Her work spans the entire United States and extends into Canada. She builds long-term partnerships, guiding organizations from pre-event strategy to post-event analysis and year-over-year improvement. Her philosophy is that events must both inspire and deliver measurable results because inspiration without outcomes means the event did not achieve its purpose. How She Advises Clients and Protects Their Vision Beth enjoys creative ideation but also brings realism to her work. She helps clients distinguish between dreams and feasibility and is not afraid to say when plans, timelines, resources, or goals do not align well. Her guidance prevents budget issues, poor attendance, sponsor shortages, and rushed events that fail to achieve their intended impact. She sees her role as equal parts strategist, realist, and protector of long-term outcomes.

Michael Schindler is a visionary strategist, acclaimed author, and high-performance coach recognized for empowering leaders and organizations to thrive in the age of AI. As the creator of the VUCA Max system and author of "The Rise of Humanness," Michael blends science, coaching, and authenticity to help people harness clarity, adaptability, and personal mission in a rapidly evolving world. His programs have guided over 7,000 individuals—veterans, business leaders, and those in transition—toward greater self-mastery, resilience, and transformational growth. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Michael shares his philosophy on using AI as a collaborative tool for strategic planning and personal advancement. He details the importance of mastering your "human operating system"—gaining clarity mentally, physically, spiritually, relationally, and financially—before layering on external success strategies. Michael demystifies common fears about AI, advocates for a balanced, mindful approach, and explains how meaningful growth starts with micro-wins and authentic self-reflection. Listeners will discover practical frameworks to navigate uncertainty, challenge self-limiting beliefs, and elevate their life and leadership in the AI era. Quotes: “AI should be your assistant, not your replacement. Use it to stimulate your thinking, but always bring your human authenticity and discernment.” “You cannot program success on a dysfunctional human operating system. Start by clarifying what it means to be you in five areas: mind, body, spirit, relationships, and finances.” “Transition hits us all differently. If you feel that emptiness, it's time to address your own operating system and get clarity.” Resources: Visit Michael Schindler's Website Connect with Michael Schindler on Facebook Connect with Michael Schindler on LinkedIn Get "The Rise of Humanness" on Amazon

In this extended deep dive, guest host Raymond Pang, Senior Researcher at CFA Institute, speaks with Greg Fisher, CFA, about how complexity science can offer a richer lens for understanding uncertainty, market behavior, and the limitations of traditional financial models. Building on themes explored in our recent episode with Richard Bookstaber and Genevieve Hayman — including feedback loops, emergent dynamics, and the need for more adaptive approaches to risk — Fisher expands the discussion to the historical roots of the mechanistic mindset and why a systems-based perspective may benefit investment practitioners. The conversation explores how narratives, structural change, and evolving patterns shape asset prices, and how asset managers can incorporate complexity-informed insights into their research and decision-making.

This is a "re-air," since economic uncertainty continues this year-end giving season."...for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs..."This week, I am reflecting a quote from George Eliot's Middlemarch, published in 1871 to ask the question, "will donor give during uncertainty?"Reflection QuestionsWhen was the last time you did a temperature check with your donors? Asked them how they are feeling in the uncertainty?  Asked them how they are keeping the darkness at bay? And, just listen.Then consider, will your vision inspire donors to give to a capital campaign?Reflection for Capital CampaignsOne common question I receive is “is this the right time for a campaign because of … the fill-in-the-blank economic or societal uncertainty?”  Will donors give?During uncertain times, the ordinary people who are our donors often feel overwhelmed.  When there is increased division, enmity, and strife, it's easy to feel powerless and to focus inward. We begin to feel as though nothing will change and, for some, this can lead to a decrease in their giving. And, yet, neuroscience has proven that the act of giving boosts a donor's mood and their feelings of agency.  When we give donors a concrete way that they can help their community, they no longer feel as powerless.  Their donations become the small acts of kindness and love that they can do to push back against the enmity.  Through giving, we empower them to partner with us to keep the uncertainty in check.  We empower them to grow the good in each of our communities through these unhistoric acts.  A well-planned capital campaign can cast a vision that becomes a visible reminder of the good they can do in the community.  What do you think?

Welcome to a transformative solo episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan invites listeners to reframe how they view uncertainty, chaos, and change in the agency world. Drawing from both scientific research and personal stories—including a gripping childhood encounter with real fear—Drew McLellan explores why agencies feel paralyzed by unpredictability, and more importantly, how leaders can move beyond fear to thrive in today's rapidly shifting landscape. Listeners will discover why uncertainty is baked into agency life, why our brains crave control, and why periods of upheaval—from economic turmoil and technological breakthroughs to social unrest—can actually be seen as fertile ground for growth and innovation. Drew McLellan champions the concept of a "perpetual renaissance," encouraging agency leaders to harness rather than resist continual change and to build their businesses on adaptability, creativity, and community. Throughout the episode, Drew McLellan underscores the power of belonging and reciprocal support, likening the AMI community to a network of redwoods—each agency strengthened by connection with others. He shares actionable advice on showing up as both a teacher and a student in industry salons, generously exchanging knowledge and resources so everyone thrives amid uncertainty. Insights from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and agency research come together with practical wisdom to reveal how leading through chaos isn't about control, but about learning to ride the storm—together. Don't miss this deeply encouraging and practical episode, especially if you're looking for ways to put fear aside and become the agency clients seek out for guidance and innovation. By embracing the value of community and the inevitability of change, you'll gain a new perspective on how to master—and even enjoy—the wild ride ahead. Join the conversation, connect with the AMI salon, and help shape the future of your agency in 2026 and beyond. A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

When nothing feels black and white, these principles keep your leadership unshakable! A lot of the principles I espouse in No Bullsh!t Leadership are quite categorical… in order to convey the principles clearly and concisely, I explain them in a rather singular manner: “Do this! Don't do that!” But nothing is that black and white, and the complexity and uncertainty of the environment can erode your confidence and weaken your resolve.If you want to have a deeper dive into how to be confident in the face of extreme uncertainty, have a listen to Ep.273: It's Never Black and White.————————FREE QUIZ: I've developed a 3-question quiz that'll give you a free personalised podcast playlist tailored to where you are right now in your leadership career!Click here to take the 30-second quiz now to get your on-the-go playlist————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.

Welcome to episode #1012 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Amid a moment when uncertainty defines every industry and leaders everywhere are confronting fear disguised as strategy, it is worth turning to someone who has spent his career decoding how individuals and organizations find the courage to act, which is why this week's guest, Ranjay Gulati, offers such rare authority. Ranjay is the Paul R. Lawrence MBA Class of 1942 Professor at Harvard Business School, a globally recognized organizational sociologist, bestselling author, and one of the world's most cited scholars on leadership, strategy, and culture. His research has shaped how companies think about growth, resilience, and high-performance environments, and his teaching in Harvard's executive and senior-leader programs has influenced thousands of CEOs navigating transformation and complexity. Before this latest work, he authored landmark books such as Deep Purpose and built a career studying how organizations thrive in adversity, drawing on field research with global enterprises, fast-growth ventures, and leaders operating in the highest-stakes environments. His new book, How To Be Bold - The Surprising Science Of Everyday Courage, anchors this conversation and reflects more than a decade of inquiry into how courage operates - not as myth or personality, but as a learnable, repeatable set of cognitive, emotional, and social processes. In our conversation, Ranjay explains the psychology of fear, the organizational traps created by success, the cultural shifts redefining leadership post-Covid, and why courageous action depends on purpose, identity, and the right forms of support. He illustrates these ideas through stories ranging from nuclear-plant operators to turnaround CEOs to everyday workplace dilemmas, showing how boldness emerges in moments both dramatic and ordinary. With his blend of academic rigor, global fieldwork, and practical insight from advising major companies, Ranjay reveals courage as a continuum that shapes teams, leaders, and cultures, and reminds us that most regret comes not from what we do, but what we avoid.

In this episode of Pixelated Playgrounds, Bryan and Josh dive into and Roger, a short but emotionally powerful experience from developer TearyHand Studio. Initially framed as a horror story, the game follows a girl who wakes to find a stranger in her home, with disorienting minigames and high-contrast visuals amplifying her fear and confusion. They discuss the game's unusual narrative delivery, its WarioWare-like micro-interactions, minimal text, and evocative sound design. What begins as a tense mystery gradually reveals deeper questions about the protagonist, hinting at something more intimate than danger.Later on they explore how the game's story revelations transforms earlier gameplay into poignant commentary through mechanics rather than exposition. Its notable that while the game concludes with a Bible verse, its message remains universal, human, and deeply felt. And Roger is a memorable, compassionate experience less about fun and more about understanding, which showcases how interactive storytelling can reframe emotions in a remarkable way.Notes: FlorenceOne of 2025's Best Games, And Roger, Is About God, Love, and Loss (Patrick Klepek, Remap)Three Word Reviews:Bryan - Revelation and ReframingJosh - Confusion and Uncertainty

This week, I'm talking about uncertainty—how sacred it really is, and what it's teaching us.   Over the past year, I've been stretched in ways I couldn't have imagined. I've sat in the void, held the unknown, and learned that uncertainty isn't chaos or punishment. It's the initiation into who we're becoming.   I share how to trust yourself through it, anchor in courage when nothing feels predictable, and why uncertainty is really just an illusion of separation from what's already been figured out.   If it's already been figured out, how would you show up? How would you create? How would you lead?   Let this episode remind you that expansion requires uncertainty—and that you already have everything you need to move through it.   Join me in GET PAIED to deepen this work and use your Wealth Codes to build safety, alignment, and wealth from the inside out.   Uncertainty isn't your enemy—it's your initiation.   Apply to Work with Danielle HERE  Download your Wealth Codes HERE  Get the Email Series that Pays HERE

Although appearing relatively stable, life is actually very unpredictable. We seek greater knowledge of life as a way to master the uncertainty. Meditation is voluntarily choosing to remain in the uncertainty of the present in order to investigate our     subjective experience - something we have never done before. The hindrance of doubt, which is the attempt to ensure certainty, is prolific amongst meditators and highly destructive. It must be understood and overcome. This talk describes the amount of information it is necessary to have in order to practice Insight effectively. Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquillity. This talk was given in November 2012
