Have you ever wanted to transform your life? Sure, we can tweak a habit here and there from our usual comfortable perch. But sometimes we feel a rumble from down deep in our bellies; adventure and change is calling, but we're too scared to answer. What can happen when we do? Here today to answer that question is Jonny Wright, hitchhiker extraordinaire and fan of irreversible decisions. After traveling the globe, traversing 22 countries through over 17,000 miles of hitchhiking, Jonny knows what it means to make a single big decision that changes everything. After a big breakup, move, and pandemic, Jonny knew that he needed a big change — to shake things up so much that they could never settle back to normal — but didn't know where to start. Now armed with hard-earned wisdom from the road, he teaches us how to pinpoint the changes that we need to make and the direction we need to go when we can't seem to figure out where to begin. Additionally, Jonny shares: - Why hitchhiking is a risk he's willing to take - How to hitchhike as effectively as possible - How to hitchhike Europe - How hitchhiking is a teacher of impulse, intuition, and self regulation - What it takes financially to plan a months long trip - His magnificent Turkish wedding story form the road You'll leave this episode with a fresh perspective on humanity and feasible steps to for listening to the wise voice inside you, guiding you to a fulfilling life.

For as long as women have been recognized as a distinct group, their interests have been side-lined as “Women's Issues,” “Women's Topics,” and “Women's Studies.” Though likely well-intended, the distinction proposes that women's conversations are outside the mainstream and, thus, not centered as primary or important. Women know that's far from true. Unruly centers women – giving them the freedom to discuss unconventional and surprising topics and the opportunity to be their truest, most flamboyant selves. Because the conversations we're having are anything but dull. At Flamingo, we believe that if women are talking about it, it's important. So in this season of Unruly, we'll have conversations with your favorite writers, thinkers and influencers about everything from dating in a recession, to the way TikTok is shaping girlhood, to consumer capitalism and how to survive your annual girls trip- plus much much more!  We're carving out a little space for smart takes, hot takes, and a whole lot of truth-telling. Unruly season 2, tune in wherever you get your podcasts. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

To celebrate queer joy, blossoming, and vibrant life I invite you to join us for a special Unruly Podcast episode. It weaves together the illuminating stories of 6 different people, now in their mid 20's and 30's, who grew up in rural spaces as queer youth.  There they found refuge in nature, belonging in the outdoors, and community in the unlikeliest of places. You'll find yourself laughing and crying right along with us as we dive into bubbling river rapids, contemplate forbidden crushes in the heat of summer church camp, and explore all the spaces in-between in an episode that defies time and gender norms. This conversation is a glimpse into the tender coming-of-age moments for queer youth and the hilarity, struggle, and metamorphosis that brings us to adulthood.

Are you in love… or stuck in a trauma bond? In this episode, Sommer, Shay, Tash, and Tara dive deep into the signs of a toxic relationship — and why it's so hard to leave. They unpack how love can slowly turn into control, why chaos can feel like passion, and what healing actually looks like. Each shares her own experience with toxic love, the patterns that kept her stuck, and the inner work it took to finally break free. Whether you're questioning your current relationship or healing from the last one, this conversation will hit home.

Government is the application of rules to organize a community. The rules help make processes predictable and consistent, but they can get in the way of innovation.

Romans 6:5-8 — What fear should the Christian have? In what ways ought the believer be gripped with worry or anxiety? Unruly fears, anxieties, and worries lead the believer to spiritual depression. This need not be. In this sermon on Romans 6:5–8 titled “Alive Unto God,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones declares the believer's sure hope: they are raised with Christ. What one believes must be driven by facts. The fact is that Jesus was raised from the dead, and all who have died with Him have the confidence that they are raised with Him. In the face of temptations, these facts lead the Christian to an unshakable certainty: death has no power over them. As the believer is dead to sin and alive to Christ, Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that their future is absolutely certain. They cannot continue in sin, and will never again submit to the slavery of sin and death. Worry, fear, and anxiety are wrapped up in death. Death is rooted in sin. If Jesus has dealt with sin, He's dealt with death. If death is no more, everything changes. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones leads to the truth that calms all fear: Christ has been raised from the dead, and the Christian life is hid in Christ with God.

Edinburgh's Unruly Women: Gender, Discipline, and Power, 1560-1660 (Routledge, 2024) examines experiences of church discipline across parish communities through Edinburgh and its environs. The book argues that experiences of discipline were not universal, varying according to any number of factors such as age, gender, marital status, and social rank. Adopting a case study approach, the book illuminates the voices of ordinary women as they appeared before their local kirk session (church court) where they navigated the church court system to settle neighbourly disputes, negotiate marriage contracts, or free their husbands from allegations of adultery. Edinburgh's Unruly Women argues that in the context of a deeply patriarchal society, experiences of discipline could not have been universal, but that in creating this strict culture of self-monitoring, the Church created opportunities for women to express power over one another, and indeed, over their male contemporaries. By placing female parishioners at the heart of the book, filled with individual case studies, Edinburgh's Unruly Women appeals to students and scholars of early modern women, religion, and gender more broadly, and to those with more specialist interest in both ecclesiastical discipline and the history of early modern Scotland in the localities.

"Everybody understands the world is volatile, but they don't necessarily understand why it's volatile or how to deal with it," says Sean West, cofounder of Hence Technologies and author of the new book, Unruly: Fighting Back When Politics, AI, and Law Upend the Rules of Business. "Unruly is a play on words. ... The world is kind of ‘unruling.' The rules and norms that were developed during globalization are falling away." On this week's LawNext, West joins host Bob Ambrogi to discuss how the collision of geopolitics, technology, and legal shifts is creating unprecedented challenges for businesses of all sizes – and their legal advisors. Their conversation explores how businesses can turn volatility into opportunity, the importance of strategic legal counsel in this environment, and why companies of all sizes need access to geopolitical intelligence. They also discuss Hence's recent launch of Hence Global, an AI-powered platform designed to help businesses and their legal counsel manage geopolitical uncertainties by providing customized, real-time risk analysis and insights tailored to specific business roles and needs. West explains how the platform delivers personalized, role-specific intelligence that enables legal teams to better serve their clients and organizations in an increasingly uncertain world. Before cofounding Hence in 2020, West was global deputy CEO of Eurasia Group, a global affairs advisory firm, where he advised CEOs, general counsel and investors on geopolitical and legal risk. He is also a lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law.   Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

On this week's episode of Unruly Figures, host Valorie Castellanos Clark is joined by Alex Lyras, the award-winning director of Aristotle/Alexander. They talk about the play, the craft of writing historical fiction, and why this meeting of the minds from 2,000 years ago is still relevant today.

There must be some sort of rules here...

This week we sit down with Sean West—co-founder of Hence Technologies and author of Unruly: Fighting Back When Politics and Law Upend the Rules of Business. Together, they explore the shifting fault lines where law, technology, and geopolitics collide. From the growing reliance on generative AI in legal work to the erosion of rule of law and the emerging threats (and opportunities) facing knowledge workers, Sean offers a strikingly global—and at times unsettling—view of the legal profession's next frontier.The conversation kicks off with a discussion on the Law360 survey showing that 62% of lawyers are using ChatGPT in some aspect of their work. Sean explains the popularity of general-purpose AI tools over legal-specific ones as a matter of price, accessibility, and perceived innovation. While lawyers trust themselves to edit AI outputs, Sean warns that this passive use of AI could slowly and invisibly displace traditional legal roles, without firms consciously realizing what's been lost.The discussion deepens as Sean introduces the idea of passive job displacement—where tasks once assigned to junior lawyers, interns, or external vendors are quietly absorbed by AI tools. He likens it to carrying "a quarter of a human brain in your pocket" for $20 a month. What starts as convenience becomes infrastructure, and over time, demand for human input declines. He also questions the long-term viability of legal tech products that can't clearly outperform generalist AIs like ChatGPT or Claude.Sean then draws on his geopolitical expertise to underscore the urgent need for situational awareness in law firms and businesses alike. He explains how political volatility—from China and Taiwan to Europe's regulatory tactics—can suddenly reshape the legal landscape. Rather than relying on traditional prediction models or complex advisory plans that get shelved, Sean emphasizes proactive legal scenario planning. His new product, Hence Global, offers a “geo-legal” lens on global news, customized for specific legal practice areas to help firms act instead of react.We push further into the implications of “front-stabbing” politics, where once-hidden power plays are now openly transactional. Sean describes a world where AI-driven lobbying, mass arbitration spam, and “robot lawyers” can reshape public policy or flood companies with legal claims at scale. He argues that when the rules are ambiguous, large players will push boundaries—and smaller players may get squeezed out. In a world without a clear referee, the game favors those who can afford better tools and faster moves.Finally, Sean challenges legal and corporate leaders to stop avoiding the hard conversations. Whether embracing AI to boost productivity or choosing to protect jobs, organizations must be transparent. “Let's front-stab about it,” he says. Make your commitments public—whether you're retraining your workforce or doubling down on AI-driven efficiency. Because in a world where legal, political, and technological lines blur, silence isn't just unhelpful—it's a risk.Links and Mentions:Learn more about Unruly and Sean's work at https://hence.aiSubscribe to Sean's newsletter: https://geolegal.substack.comTry Hence Global with a discount: global.hence.ai – use promo code GEEK for one-third offListen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Blue Sky: ⁠⁠@geeklawblog.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marlgeb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Transcript

Feeling angry in 2025? Join the club. (No, seriously, we have some important things to discuss!) In this episode we sit down with Kallie Klug from KaliSomatics to discuss all things anger: what it really is, what it does in the body, and what the hell to do with it once it's here. So many of us shy away from anger and even couple it with shame. Why? Suppressed anger can express itself as stomach issues, jaw and shoulder pain, and irritating chronic symptoms. In this episode Kallie teaches us how to have conversation with tension in our body, process full body rage and interpersonal rage, and tune into safety in difficult times — necessary skills for improving physical and mental health. With studies showing that the prefrontal cortex shuts down during conflict, knowing how to take space and listen to your body is so important for effective communication and community building. This episode is for anyone who wants to improve their life by learning somatic exercises for anger, with specific tips for travelers and activists. - Email the new travel segment at hellounrulytravel@gmail.com - Episode #71 on people pleasing: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/2024/08/09/how-to-stop-people-pleasing-somatics-kallie-klug/ - KaliSomatics: https://kalisomatics.com - Unruly Travel & Living Blog: unrulytravel.com - Unruly email newsletter: buff.ly/4a1bPwT

Unruly Labor: A History of Oil in the Arabian Sea (Stanford UP, 2024) by Andrea Wright offers a critical and nuanced examination of the labor regimes that sustain the oil economies of the Arabian Peninsula. Challenging dominant narratives centered on state-building, elite wealth, and resource control, Wright focuses on the transnational laborers whose work has been essential to the region's economic development. She explores how oil extractive economies depend not only on physical resources but also on the regulation, mobility, and discipline of migrant workers, particularly those from South Asia. The book traces the histories of labor migration across the Arabian Sea, revealing how colonial legacies, neoliberal policies, and contemporary state practices shape the lives of migrant workers. Wright argues that rather than being passive victims of state control, these workers navigate complex systems of power, leveraging networks and strategies to resist exploitation. From recruitment agencies in India to labor camps in the Gulf, she uncovers how workers contest the structures designed to discipline them—sometimes subtly, through everyday acts of defiance, and sometimes through overt resistance. At the heart of Unruly Labor is a critique of how oil economies function not just through the material extraction of petroleum but through the extraction of labor itself. Wright draws on ethnographic research, archival sources, and interviews to illustrate the racialized and gendered hierarchies embedded in these labor systems. She examines how Gulf states, in collaboration with sending countries, enforce restrictive labor policies that render migrants both essential and disposable. Yet, despite these constraints, migrants carve out spaces of agency, forging solidarity and alternative futures within and beyond the oil economy. By linking the history of oil to the lived experiences of laborers, Wright offers a compelling intervention in studies of the Gulf, labor migration, and global capitalism. Unruly Labor is essential reading for scholars of anthropology, history, and political economy, as well as anyone interested in the hidden forces that sustain global energy markets.

The Unruly Tongue: Speech and Violence in Medieval Italy (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2025) by Dr. Melissa Vise, offers a new account of how the power of words changed in Western thought. Despite the association of freedom of speech with the political revolutions of the eighteenth century that ushered in the era of modern democracies, Dr. Vise locates the history of the repression of speech not in Europe's monarchies but rather in Italy's republics. Exploring the cultural process through which science and medicine, politics, law, literature, and theology together informed a new political ethics of speech, Dr. Vise uncovers the formation of a moral code where the regulation of the tongue became an integral component of republican values in medieval Europe. The medieval citizens of Italy's republics understood themselves to be wholly subject to the power of words not because they lived in an age of persecution or doctrinal rigidity, but because words had furnished the grounds for their political freedom. Speech-making was the means for speaking the republic itself into existence against the opposition of aristocracy, empire, and papacy. But because words had power, they could also be deployed as weapons. Speech contained the potential for violence and presented a threat to political and social order, and thus needed to be controlled. Dr. Vise shows how the laws that governed and curtailed speech in medieval Italy represented broader cultural understandings of human susceptibility to speech. Tracing anthropologies of speech from religious to political discourse, from civic courts to ecclesiastical courts, from medical texts to the works of Dante and Boccaccio, The Unruly Tongue demonstrates that the thirteenth century marked a major shift in how people perceived the power, and the threat, of speech: a change in thinking about “what words do.” This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
