Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin ✓ Claim Key Takeaways  Acting is seeking a deep understanding of another person's experience Do not let self-consciousness and ego take you out of the present moment Your strength – taken to excess – can become your weaknessIt is difficult to wrangle the ideas that circulate in your head; they become what they becomeThe challenge in life is recovering simplicity After exhausting your wave of creative work, you have two choices: either repeat that work, or you can stop, refill yourself with life, and be willing to start an entirely new adventure It takes courage to step away from an identity that has served youEven if you think that you have liberated yourself from certain things, you still hold onto the DNA memory of the way you were taught to view the world “I always think of the work as solving a puzzle.” – Rick Rubin  If the art is opaque, it tends to be narcissistic; if the art is transparent, it tends to be mythological Creating art is not a zero-sum game Bad ideas on paper can still result in masterpieces Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgEdward Norton is one of the great actors of his generation. He has gained acclaim for his roles in movies like Fight Club, American History X, and Primal Fear. In all, he has written, directed, produced, or starred in over 50 movies.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Linda Gray, Legendary Actress, Star, “Dallas”, “Ladies of the 80's: A Divas Christmas” About Harvey's guest: Today's special guest, Linda Gray, is a beloved, multi-award winning actress, director and author who became a global superstar with her portrayal of ‘Sue Ellen', in the blockbuster TV series “Dallas”, for which she won numerous international awards and was nominated for 2 Golden Globe Awards, an Emmy Award and 4 Soap Opera Digest Awards.  But her career extends far beyond “Dallas”.   On the big screen, she's appeared in many movies including “Dogs”, “Oscar”, “Star of Jaipur”, “Expecting Mary”, “The Flight of the Swan”, “Hidden Moon”, “Intuitions” and “Wally's Will”, which won her 2 Best Actress awards at the USA Film Festival and the North Hollywood Film Festival.  And she's starred in dozens of TV shows like “Melrose Place”, “The Bold and the Beautiful”  and “Models Inc.”, and many TV movies including “Murder in Peyton Place”, “Haywire”, “The Wild and the Free”, “Not in Front of the Children”, “Moment of Truth: Why My Daughter?”, “Accidental Meeting”, “When the Cradle Falls”, “Perfect Match”, and of course, the 2 “Dallas” TV movies, “J.R. Returns” and “War of the Ewings”.    On the stage, our guest starred in the world premiere production, in London, of “Terms of Endearment”, AND in the West End production of “The Graduate”, in which she starred on Broadway for a limited engagement.  In 2014 she returned to the London stage to star in the Christmas pantomime “Cinderella”, playing the Fairy Godmother.  She's also starred onstage in “The Vagina Monologues”, “Agnes of God” and “Love Letters”.   In 1982, she was named Woman of the Year by the Hollywood Radio & Television Society.   In 2013, she was included in People Magazine's list of the Most Beautiful Women in the world.   And in 2015, she published her highly compelling, emotionally powerful and inspirational memoir entitled, “The Road to Happiness is Always Under Construction”, which became an instant best seller.  The book chronicles our guest's amazing life journey, through childhood illness, family trauma, and the many challenges of an ultimately triumphant career and fulfilling personal life, bringing her to a place of honesty, serenity and joy.    And I'm very excited to announce that on December 2, our guest's highly anticipated, brand new TV movie, entitled “Ladies of the 80s: A Divas Christmas” will be premiering on the Lifetime channel.   This is a delicious comedy in which our guest co-stars with Loni Anderson, Morgan Fairchild, Donna Mills and Nicollette Sheridan, who play 5 glamorous soap opera queens who reunite to shoot the final Christmas episode of their long-running TV series.   And if all of that weren't enough, our guest is also a highly respected philanthropist.  She's been very involved with the Best Buddies Program for people with intellectual challenges, as well as Meals on Wheels and the Force For Good Foundation.  And for 10 years, from 1997 to 2007, she served as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador to promote women's rights, and the health of women and children. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ To see more about Linda Gray, go to:https://www.lindagrayofficial.comhttps://www.instagram.com/lindagray #LindaGray    #harveybrownstoneinterviews

Psychiatrist, aviator and explorer, Bertrand Piccard made history in 1999 by accomplishing the first ever non-stop round-the-world balloon flight, and a number of years later the first round-the-world solar-powered flight. Piccard has dedicated his life to demonstrating sustainable development opportunities. He is Founder and Chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation, which has assembled a verified portfolio of over 1400 actionable and profitable climate solutions. As a pioneer of new ways of thinking that reconcile ecology and economy, he uses his exploration feats to motivate governments and industries to take action. He is a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for the Environment, Special Advisor to the European Commission, and is author of Réaliste, Changer d'Altitude, and other books."So this is why I prefer to speak with a really down to earth language. So maybe the people who love nature are going to say, 'Oh, Bertrand Piccard, now he is too down to earth. He's speaking about profitable solutions. He's speaking to the industries that are polluting,' but we have to speak to the industries that are polluting and bring them profitable solutions, otherwise the world will never change, or humankind will never change. And don't forget one thing, what we are damaging is not the beauty of nature. What is being damaged is the quality of life of human beings on Earth because we can still have beautiful things to see, but if we have climate change, if we have tropical disease in Europe, if we have heat waves, floods, droughts, millions of climate refugees, life will be miserable, even if nature is still beautiful.”Solar Impulse Foundationbertrandpiccard.comSolar Impulse Solutions Explorer (1400+)RéalisteChanger d'altitudewww.oneplanetpodcast.orgwww.creativeprocess.infoPhoto credit: Philipp Böhlen

"If we have this vision of life, then we find meaning, but if everything is just the quest for temporary happiness, we are running after happiness all the time, we try to find it outside of ourselves, and it's difficult to find it outside of ourselves. And then we have depression, we have anxiety because we don't find what we want in life... I also would like to tell you how inspired I was in my childhood by all the big explorers that I met, astronauts of the early American Space Program, pioneers in aviation, pioneers in environment, in underwater exploration. And all these people showed me that it is wonderful to embrace the unknown, to do things that nobody thinks is possible, to try things for the first time, to invent, to create, to call our certitudes into question, to challenge our knowledge and try to know more and better and differently.All this, I believe, is really important in life. Always try to improve what we see and what we have.

Today we're taking another deep dive into the human impact of the war in Ukraine and sharing the stories of some refugees you may not have heard about yet. Among the millions of people fleeing are tens of thousands of people who aren't from Ukraine, but still need a safe place to go. Their stories suggest they're facing additional obstacles because of their race, citizenship, or both. We're joined by award-winning journalist, author and former CNN International correspondent, Isha Sesay. She's also the host of the new podcast “The Accidental Activist” and she's a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador. Isha shares the stories of African students living in Ukraine, explains why she feels some of the news coverage of what's happening has been offensive and offers a way for everyone to get involved — even if it's as simple as posting on social media.

My guest today is a living legend in making historic round-the-world trips that have come to redefine what is possible for humanity. Serial explorer and ambassador for clean technologies, Dr. Bertrand Piccard has done it all and is probably planning to do it all again, in ways that continue to shift paradigms and unveil the new futures that are available to us today. When Bertrand took the controls of the Breitling Orbiter in 1999 with his teammate Brian Jones, he went on to complete the first non-stop around-the-world balloon flight. While in 2016 he successfully piloted the first ever round-the-world solar powered flight, and took turns with André Borschberg, in the now iconic Solar Impulse plane. More recently, the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for the Environment, Special Advisor to the European Commission, and Founder and Chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation has been on another trip around the world. This time in pursuit of 1000 innovative solutions that can ‘protect the environment in a profitable way'. http://solarimpulse.com

Linda talks about her award-winning career as an actress on TV, Film and Stage and the winding and often difficult road she traveled to achieve her success.
