Podcasts about Unorthodox

One of the biggest reasons why many men are suffering with loneliness is their lack of emotional intelligence and emotional literacy. Dr. J.J. Kelly, the Punk Rock Doc, is a clinical psychologist who runs a practice called The Unorthodox. She is the author of the Holy Shit book series and recently wrote a piece for Vice on why men are so damn lonely. In this returning appearance, she joins Jon and Will to make a blunt, funny, and genuinely useful case: the male loneliness epidemic is about emotional illiteracy. The good news is that emotional intelligence is a set of skills anyone can learn if they are willing to do the work. This common challenge stems from limited opportunities to develop these vital skills earlier in life. Fortunately, emotional intelligence and emotional literacy are abilities anyone can strengthen through consistent practice. Men who cultivate these capacities gain the tools to identify their feelings, communicate with honesty, and form authentic connections. This growth supports men's mental health and creates space for deeper friendships and brotherhood. Mindfulness and emotional awareness practices further enhance resilience and a sense of belonging, leading to richer relationships, greater purpose, and happier, healthier lives.IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:1.  Why emotional illiteracy — not circumstance — is the root of male loneliness2.  Insight is not a skill: why reading every book changes nothing until you practice3.  Name it to tame it: validation and acceptance before change (the backbone of DBT)4.  The values exercise: behaving according to your values even when you're activated5.  Eating your shit sandwich with dignity, and why courage rarely backfiresMore about Dr. J.J.

Hood College Head Coach Chad Dickman joins us to discuss how his offense uses spacing, pace, and unorthodox ball-screen actions to force defenses into decisions they rarely get to rehearse. Dickman explains the thinking behind Hood's early empty-side flat ball screens, the intentionally “jumbled” three-man side, and why he wants the ballhandler making decisions before the defense can settle into its preferred coverage.We get into how Hood teaches players to flow from one action to the next without stopping to reorganize, including ghost flares, blind flares, slips, re-screens, and the occasional quadruple ball screen. Dickman details the practice work underneath that freedom: screening angles, speed, distance, live 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 breakdowns, positionless reps, and teaching players to keep attacking even when the spacing gets messy. He also explains the difference between attacking in two-man actions and stringing out three-man actions to what Hood calls the “lookout point.”  In Start, Sub or Sit, Dickman ranks playing off two feet, deceleration, and quick finishes at the rim. The conversation moves into jump stops, reverse pivots, shooting on the move, and why high-pace offense still requires players who can stop under control. He closes with the value of years spent watching film, testing ideas, and adapting them to personnel. What You'll LearnWhy Hood will intentionally load three shooters onto one side to create more room for an empty-side two-man game. How “going early” forces the screener to react to the ballhandler instead of allowing the defense to organize its coverage.  Why the first action does not have to produce the shot if it can compromise the defense for the next action.  How Hood flows into ghost flares, blind flares, slips, re-screens, and other re-triggers without prescribing a fixed sequence.  Why screening angles, speed, distance, and ballhandler paths are taught before worrying about stacking three or four actions together.  How Hood prepares for two or three players arriving at the ball instead of stopping the possession to correct the spacing.  Why two-man actions are played more aggressively toward the rim while three-man actions often look to reach the “lookout point.”  How jump stops and reverse pivots turn paint touches into passing opportunities rather than forced finishes.  Why every player gets reps handling, screening, and playing from every spot in a positionless offense.  How the quadruple ball screen grew from experimenting with actions that opponents were unlikely to have practiced against. To join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 70 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!

In this episode of the Whiskey & Windage Podcast, we sit down with Josh Clark, founder of Unorthodox Suppression, to uncover the story behind one of the industry's most recognizable brands. While many people immediately recognize the company's signature hexagonal design, there's far more to the story than its appearance. We discuss how Unorthodox Suppression was founded, the engineering philosophy that drives its products, and why the company chose to challenge conventional thinking instead of following the status quo. Josh shares the development process behind their suppressors, the lessons learned from building a growing American manufacturer, and the importance of balancing innovation, durability, and real-world performance.The conversation also explores product development, manufacturing, customer feedback, testing, and what it takes to earn trust in a competitive marketplace. Whether you're interested in engineering, entrepreneurship, or the future of suppressor technology, this episode provides an inside look at the ideas and people shaping the next generation of the industry.If you've ever wondered what makes Unorthodox Suppression different, this conversation goes far beyond the hex.

Danielle delivers an unvarnished lesson in resilience, detailing how hit rock bottom forced her to rebuild her career after a severe corporate burnout and bankruptcy.

The conversation maps out her framework for advanced brand building, urging founders to elevate their public narratives rather than chasing entry-level press features. Danielle breaks down why brands must transition from standard product marketing into unorthodox consumer experiences, emphasizing that removing friction points is the only way to insulate and protect your core cult following in a tense economic market.

The Guardians beat the Angels 7-2 last night, but Ken and Lima bring in producer John point out it was far from pretty as the top four hitters in the order went a combined 0-14, with the team drawing 11 walks to manufacture the offense. The bigger talking point is Steven Kwan, whose metrics are trending in the wrong direction at just 28 years old, with Ken and Lima debating whether Travis Bazaana or prospect Petey Halpin could soon push him out of the leadoff spot. The most entertaining story of the segment is that Guardians bench coach Tony Arnerich is currently living in manager Stephen Vogt's basement while Vogt recovers from a respiratory illness, which Ken and Lima have a field day with wondering about rent, tuna in the microwave, and whether there's a Memorial Day move-out deadline.

Episode #531: “The laws that govern the monks' organization were written before 1988, during a one-party dictatorship! In the Sangha organization, you cannot have different voices… everything comes from the top-down. If you say anything unorthodox, your writing will be censored.” U Pandita explains the challenges within Myanmar's Saṅgha, where rigid hierarchies and censorship laws stifle independent thought and research. He critiques the authoritarian governance of the monastic order, noting that senior Buddhist monks resist change because they benefit from the status quo. Monks lack autonomy, and dissenting voices face severe consequences, including disrobement or legal action. He contrasts his current freedom in Sri Lanka with the restrictions in place in Myanmar, where his academic work would be censored, and he would be in danger. He highlights how the Saṅgha'sinability to modernize perpetuates problems like corruption, and silence around controversial topics. He also criticizes the Sangha's role in promoting nationalist and anti-Islamic sentiments, driven by the military's claim of “protecting Buddhism,” which he dismisses as a self-serving excuse. U Pandita delves into Buddhist ethics. His academic work challenges the idea of universally fixed precepts, and believes that ethical standards depend on societal and cultural context, using the precept of sexual misconduct as an example. This perspective, he admits, is unconventional and may surprise and even unsettle many traditional and religious Buddhists. Reflecting on Myanmar's identity as both a source of spiritual wisdom and a nation embroiled in conflict, U Pandita attributes its current struggles to historical cycles of power and aggression. He expresses concern over the military's exploitation of Buddhism, which distorts its teachings and erodes public trust in the monastic community. While acknowledging the resilience of Myanmar's Buddhist traditions, he warns of the risks posed by political turmoil and the resulting decline of the public's faith in monks. U Pandita advocates for research as a means to revitalize Buddhism's intellectual tradition and bridge gaps between Myanmar's heritage and global audiences. He believes a progressive, inclusive approach can ensure Buddhism remains relevant and meaningful in contemporary society.

Send us a textGod's ways are rarely what we would expect, and Joshua 6 makes that unmistakably clear. As Israel stands before the walls of Jericho, the Lord doesn't hand them a battle plan built on strength, strategy, or military dominance. Instead, He calls them to obedience, patience, and trust in a plan that makes no sense by human standards.In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness Podcast, we explore the unorthodox way of the Lord and what it reveals about biblical manhood. What does it look like to lead when God's instructions challenge our pride, logic, and desire for control? How do men remain faithful when obedience feels foolish or slow?Joshua 6 reminds us that true strength is found not in force, but in faith and that victory belongs to the Lord alone. Learn more about The Pursuit of Manliness: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/ Join The Herd:  https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/join-the-herd Build your own local Tribe with Tribe Builder: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/tribe-builderRegister for our 2026 Fall Men's Retreat: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/2026-mens-retreatSupport the show

Elena Verna is the head of growth at Lovable, the leading AI-powered app builder that hit $200 million in annual recurring revenue in under a year with just 100 employees. In this record fourth appearance on the podcast, Elena shares how the traditional growth playbook has been completely rewritten for AI companies. She explains why Lovable focuses on innovation over optimization, how they've shifted from activation to building new features, and why giving away their product for free has become their most powerful growth strategy.We discuss:1. Why 60% to 70% of traditional growth tactics no longer apply in AI2. Why you have to re-find product-market fit every 3 months3. The specific growth tactics driving Lovable's unprecedented growth4.

On today's page, Zevachim 74, we honor the daf by letting it quietly sit in the background while we mark Thanksgiving with a different kind of offering: a conversation about gratitude. When he joined us on Unorthodox back in 2018, A.J. Jacobs talked about his quest to thank a thousand people for his daily coffee and what it taught him about Jewish gratitude, interdependence, and noticing the good. What happens to our hearts when we start treating every small comfort as the work of a whole hidden community? Listen and find out.

CONTINUED Unorthodox Ukraine Diplomacy and Geopolitical Realism — Mary Kissel 1900 ODESSA

Unorthodox Ukraine Diplomacy and Geopolitical Realism — Mary Kissel — Kissel analyzes the "exceedingly odd" U.S. approach to Ukraine peace negotiations, wherein businesspeople framed initial proposals while bypassing traditional State Department channels. This transactional negotiating style concerns European allies because it appears to reward Russia and establishes an unfavorable initial bargaining position. Kissel suggests the conflict will likely persist while diplomatic discussions protract. She commends Marco Rubio for prioritizing economic growth and countering Chineseand Iranian influence throughout the Western Hemisphere. 1856 BLACK SEA

Elyse Bouvier is a filmmaker, photographer, and writer who recently wrote and directed the short documentary, Unfolding Faith, for the National Film Board of Canada. In this nuanced and timely short film, Elyse explores how her decision to give up her faith redefined both her identity and her relationships with her parents.  We spoke to Elyse about her deconversion from Evangelical Christianity and what it was like to have raw yet empathetic conversations about faith while making her documentary with her devout mother and her father, a former pastor turned atheist. We also discussed shows like Unorthodox and films about transformation, like Barbie and Wild, and how Elyse would love to see TV and film tackle the nuanced, grey areas of the deconversion process and what it is like to live in mixed-faith families.

On today's page, Zevachim 66, the rabbis remind us that a properly performed bird sin offering is considered fit, even though the details have already been laid out with precision. When he joined us on Unorthodox back in 2020, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks helped us reflect on how stating the obvious can itself be a moral act, especially when the obvious is what we most easily overlook. Why do we need reminders of truths we think we already know? Listen and find out.

He helped us go beyond surface-level conversations, challenging us to dive deeper into our faith, fostering lasting spiritual growth and a posture of servant-leadership.

On today's pages, Horayot 11 and 12, the Talmud weighs status and standing: when someone leaves the fold, what counts as a step back in—intention, confession, changed behavior? We're sharing that Unorthodox piece from Robert Scaramuccia on the work of apology when details are fuzzy but responsibility remains. Robert's story comes from Unorthodox's 2021 apology episode. How do we translate teshuvah into concrete next steps? Listen and find out.

Listen to a special live event held at Aspen Jewish Congregation on August 13, 2025. The Jewish experience has always been bigger than survival.
