In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Dan Snow, Berkeley PhD and Harvard Business School professor turned BYU educator; for a thoughtful conversation on identity, reinvention, and choosing a life of deep purpose over conventional success.Dan shares his journey from the factory floors of Ford to the lecture halls of Harvard, and why he ultimately walked away from the elite academic path to teach and mentor at BYU. With rare humility and clarity, he unpacks the quiet courage it takes to start over, the challenges of being “the outsider,” and what it means to build a life that actually aligns with your values.They explore leadership, legacy, and how the most meaningful growth often comes from embracing discomfort. Whether it's navigating faith in unfamiliar environments or making high stakes career pivots, Dan's story is a powerful reminder that status isn't the goal, impact is.00:00 | Introduction & Chelsea's Journey03:55 | Education as Leadership Development07:34 | Dan's Upbringing in Colorado Springs13:30 | Being the Outsider & Building Empathy17:22 | Faith, Contrast, and Cultural Identity19:43 | Mission in Rome & Early Lessons in Rejection22:59 | The Pivot Away from Law School26:24 | Working at Ford & Career Clarity30:05 | Choosing a PhD Over Corporate Success31:48 | Berkeley, Humility, and Academic Culture39:30 | The Dissertation: Last Gasp of Carburetors45:26 | The Hidden Power of Applied Theory49:13 | Greatness, Grit, and the Clay Christensen Standard54:14 | Turning Talents into Purpose56:01 | Reinvention & The Power of Starting Over58:41 | Spiritual Greatness in Everyday People01:02:06 | Creation, Progress & the Human Drive01:03:04 | Teaching at Oxford & Global Perspectives Hosted on Acast.

Hey Doc —What if I told you your husband and AI have way more in common than you think?Not in a “men are robots” way, but in a “this explains so much about your marriage” way.In this episode, I'm breaking down the four big parallels between husbands and AI — the ones that quietly shape your communication, your expectations, and yes… your resentment. And listen, I love AI and I love husbands, so this episode is coming from a place of deep affection and deep realness.We're talking about the stuff we all experience but rarely say out loud:The mind-reading you wish he could do (but he absolutely cannot)The unspoken expectations that turn into premeditated resentmentsHow his upbringing — just like AI training data — shapes everythingWhy he jumps straight into Fix-It Mode when you just wanted “Ugh babe, that sucks”And why you should be using (and leveraging) both AI and your husband way more than you areIf you've ever wondered “Why doesn't he just KNOW?” or you've found yourself venting to him only to get a full strategic plan you didn't ask for — this episode is for you.Share this one with another physician mom who's ready for more clarity, less resentment, and better communication in her marriage.

Topic: Troubled childhood, modernity, advice."I think I have had a childhood filled with particularly egregious examples of the postmodern order, such examples include, teachers who were outright communists, others who were very racist towards Whites, universal pacing of all kids etc. I think people even in their 30s would be surprised how bad it has gotten, so I want to get the word out there, I feel there is a surprising lack of first-hand accounts."The other thing that I would appreciate is to get advice on how to figure my life out. I am in my early 20s, so couldn't get enough advice if I tried. Some of would maybe touch on childhood troubles, like having split parents, a dad with schizophrenia, and certain experiences with emotional neglect, and abuse."SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Elliot Resnick grew up in a stable, loving home and lived what many would consider a “normal life.” He worked in journalism, had a deep interest in politics, and reported on major national stories. But everything changed on January 6th, 2021. After attending the Capitol event that day, Elliot followed the crowd inside — a decision that would come back to haunt him nearly two years later. In a shocking turn, federal agents arrested him, and he was charged for his involvement in storming the U.S. Capitol. He was later sentenced to federal prison, facing the reality of losing everything — his freedom, career, and reputation. But his story didn't end there. While serving time, Elliot became one of the few involved in the January 6th cases to receive a presidential pardon — granted by former President Donald Trump — leading to his early release. #January6 #CapitolRiot #PrisonStory #ExConStory #Prisoner #RealStory #RedemptionJourney #FirstHandAccount Connect with Elliot Resnick: X: @ResnickElliot Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 The Journalist Who Went to Prison – Introduction 01:21 From News Reporter to Federal Inmate 04:43 Visiting Hours, Family Support & What Prison Teaches You 10:44 Childhood, Upbringing & Early Lessons in Life 17:42 Discovering Politics & Finding a Voice 23:43 15 Years in Journalism – Covering the Stories That Mattered 29:57 Life Before Everything Changed 34:43 January 6th: Why He Went to the Capitol 41:43 Inside the Chaos – Crowd, Police & Personal Motives 49:43 After the Capitol: Regret, Reflection & Reality 55:52 Coming Home & Facing the Fallout 01:00:22 The FBI Knock & Facing Federal Charges 01:08:25 Inside Danbury Federal Prison – First Day to Daily Routine 01:15:46 Faith Behind Bars – The Role of Religion in Survival 01:22:13 Trump's Pardon & Life After Prison 01:26:00 Lessons on Justice, Freedom & Redemption Learn more about your ad choices.

Nic von Rupp joins The Lineup with Dave Prodan as he prepares for another Big Wave season, coming off one where he earned the 2025 Best Team Performance Award and added to his growing legend as one of big wave surfing's most complete athletes. Calling in from home after a ten-foot barrel session, Nic reflects on how far his country and his career have come. From an era when it was “unthinkable” to be a professional surfer from Portugal to now representing his nation at The Eddie Aikau Invitational, Nic shares how Nazaré transformed not only global big wave surfing, but the identity of an entire coastline. He dives deep into his path from Nike and Monster-sponsored competitor to free surfer and filmmaker, why he walked away from chasing jerseys, and how the “Von Froth” persona came to life. Nic talks about chasing barrels at Mavericks and Jaws, pioneering sessions with Tom Lowe, and how his background in competition taught him the consistency and discipline to handle big days at home. Together with Dave, Nic discusses the state of the surf industry – from the rise of athlete-driven content to the decline of traditional surf sponsorship – and what he thinks the next generation of pros really needs. He also opens up about his creative process, balancing the froth with perspective, and how staying healthy and curious keeps him charging forward.

I heard Stefan talk about his own a few times, and thought he might be able to help."Also, although I'm in my mid-40s, I only recently came to understand how badly, in some respects, my parents neglected me as a child, and I'm trying to figure out how to come to terms with that, and especially how to do better with my own children, whom I fear, lacking a better example, I'm doing the same with."To be more specific, growing up, my parents didn't really give me any advice or instruction about things like making friends, girls, building a career, almost anything.

One of the most important scientists of the past 50 years is a man that no one has heard of - Adam Trombly. He was a pioneering physicist and engineer who followed in the footsteps of Nikola Tesla and designed a successful "over-unity", "zero point energy" power generation device. If this technology would have been allowed to be released to the public, the entire global economy would have been radically transformed. But instead, his work was confiscated and his research shut down by an invisible power structure (one that I call the Technocratic Superstate in my recent book "The Coming World Nation") In today's episode, I break down a number of excerpts from a 4-hour interview that Trombly did about 15 years ago on Spectrum Radio, where he talks about his life, career, and experience in having the government shut down and confiscate a breakthrough energy device he invented, which could have solved the world's energy problems. The information that Trombly shares about his life story offers us valuable insight into the underground black projects apparatus that underlies that US military-industrial complex. It is very hard to get information about this highly-classified black project underworld, with Trombly providing us rare and important details about it through his series of encounters with it over the years.Table of Contents:00:00 Introduction to Adam Trombly09:11 Adam Trombly's Upbringing and Father's Mysterious Death21:42 Adolescence and Star Child Program31:31 Military Industrial Complex and Secret Physics41:57 John C.

Tamara Yajia's memoir Cry for Me, Argentina describes a chaotic upbringing between Argentine and American cultures. A big focus of the memoir is her “insane” family, who exposed Yajia to a high level of sexual openness, including group excursions to Buenos Aires' red-light district. In today's episode, the writer speaks with NPR's Ailsa Chang about her mixed experience as a childhood performer, a formative moment involving Madonna's “Like a Prayer,” and the way humor has “kept [her] alive.”To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Mary Valdovinos grew up in Connecticut with a supportive family and was accepted to Yale, but a spiral that began junior year of high school led to addiction after graduation. She fell into the orbit of drug dealers, became a drug runner, and was arrested by the DEA for conspiracy to distribute. After violating probation—and a second chance—she landed in federal prison. In this candid interview, Mary shares what life inside was really like, the turning point that led her to recovery, and how she now mentors and empowers justice-impacted women.

The episode offers an in-depth conversation between Stefan and a 23-year-old caller struggling with feelings of emptiness post-conversion to Catholicism. The discussion reveals the caller's affluent but isolating upbringing, marked by the early death of his mother and the pressures to excel academically in music. The pandemic exacerbated his challenges, leading to a breakdown and withdrawal from music school. The conversation explores his anxiety, social awkwardness, particularly in romantic contexts, and his complex family dynamics, where differing ideological views have further isolated him. Stefan encourages the caller to reframe his perceptions of relationships and mental health, promoting social engagement as a means to combat isolation. The episode underscores the interplay between personal history, mental health, and the necessity of community and connections in overcoming feelings of purposelessness.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Today, we're joined by Savannah Bananas player RobertAnthony Cruz, known as Coach RAC, to share his journey to becoming a TikTok-viral baseball coach. RAC shares the details of signing with the Washington Nationals and how God redirected him after a sudden release. He shares his faith journey, from growing up in a Christian home to embracing the gospel's depth as his own. He also shares the sweet story of meeting his wife in middle school and offers tips on coaching kids to find identity in Christ, not performance. We talk about the impact the Savannah Bananas have had and why they're so special, and we also discuss the impact of his faith-filled content and why he believes glorifying God through baseball outweighs any social media criticism.
