ORIGINALLY RELEASED Aug 1, 2023 When you think about the philosophies and practices of Buddhism and Marxism, you might not immediately think that they have much in common. However, you might be surprised at how much overlap and complementary resonance there actually is between these two rich and beautiful traditions. We've brought on Breht O'Shea, a Buddhist practitioner and Marxist political educator based out of Omaha, Nebraska. Breht is the host of the podcast Revolutionary Left Radio and co-host of the podcasts Red Menace, Guerrilla History, and, most recently, Shoeless in South Dakota.  In this conversation, we explore how both Buddhism & Marxism offer helpful pathways to liberation and provide a spot-on analysis of the root causes of suffering. We also explore some of the potential tensions between Buddhism and Marxism, as well as what each tradition can learn from the other. And we end with a powerful invitation to embark on the path of the Bodhisattva Revolutionary to both end the internal and structural causes and conditions of suffering and to bring forth the systemic changes necessary for the transition to a socialist and eventually communist economy based on liberation, equity, and justice for all. This interview was inspired by an episode of Revolutionary Left Radio titled Dialectics & Liberation: Insights from Buddhism and Marxism where Breht read a speech he gave at Arizona State University on the topic of dialectical materialism, Buddhism, and Marxism. Definitely check that episode out when you're done listening to this — it's a great complement to this conversation. Thank you to Carolyn Raider for this episode's cover art and to Mount Eerie for the intermission music. Upstream theme music was composed by Robert Raymond/Lanterns.

  Introducing the newest thing in higher (and we really mean higher — like look UP) education: The Flying Pig Academy. A dream of The Village Square (with support from Florida Humanities) for many years, it's finally aloft. The division in American society is big and seems impossible at times to address.  The bigger, gnarlier and more all-encompassing a conflict grows, the more we naturally rush right to its epicenter to try to break it up.  It demands so much attention it's hard to look away. But we're going to give you our hottest tip for handling the most difficult conflicts — do it indirectly. Named by our very own Bill Mattox (this episode's guest), who may or may not know a lot about a carom shot in billiards (hitting a ball to hit another ball into the pocket), but he certainly knows a lot about human beings. The Village Square is a proud member of The Democracy Group, a network of podcasts that examines what's broken in our democracy and how we can work together to fix it. Featured in this episode: A reference to the Heineken Worlds Apart ad, which is well worth a watch. Funding for this podcast was provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

While much of the industry has focused on customer experience, Upstream Works continues to champion the agent experience—eliminating silos and delivering consistency across voice, video, and digital channels. One highlight of our conversation: Upstream Works AgentNow, an innovative solution born out of a collaboration with United Airlines. AgentNow enables face-to-face communication between customers and agents via a smartphone, email link, or QR code—no more waiting in line at the airport. Already adopted across industries like healthcare, financial services, and education, it's proving to be a scalable, low-overhead, managed service with real business outcomes. We also discussed the new Omni AI Hub, a flexible AI integration platform that brings AI tools together under one seamless experience. Whether it's Amazon, Google, Microsoft, or Upstream Works' own models, the Hub lets organizations apply the right AI tool for the job while giving agents a consistent, unified interface. AI finally becomes operational and useful—without adding new silos to the desktop. It's clear: Upstream Works is helping enterprises move from AI buzz to AI reality.

It's Not About the Alcohol

In today's episode, Colleen breaks down why willpower is an exhausting and unsustainable way to change your behavior. If you've ever tried to “power through” not drinking or force yourself into good habits, only to fall back into old patterns, this episode will shift the way you think about change. Instead of relying on willpower to control your drinking, your eating, your productivity, or anything else, Colleen shows you how to design an environment that makes success inevitable—without the mental struggle, without the exhausting inner battle, and without feeling like you're constantly fighting against yourself.   Key Takeaways: 1. Willpower is a Finite Resource—You Will Run Out Willpower is just forced focus—it's what you use when you don't actually want to do something. The more decision fatigue, stress, or depletion you experience, the less willpower you have. If you're relying on willpower to avoid drinking at night, you're already set up to fail. 2. External Rewards Make You Feel Powerless We are conditioned to chase performance-based rewards—grades, promotions, social validation. This mindset makes success feel scarce—like you have to constantly prove yourself to earn your own power. If someone (or something) gives you power, it's not actually yours. 3. You're Not Chasing a Goal—You're Chasing a Feeling It's not about not drinking, it's about how you think not drinking will make you feel. When you place your self-worth in achieving a goal instead of designing a life that supports you, you create an exhausting cycle of struggle. Real power comes from creating a life where you feel good right now—not just after you hit some goal. Actionable Steps to Make Change Easy 1. Stop Beating Yourself Up—Start Observing Instead Instead of thinking, I need more willpower, ask: “How can I make this easier for myself?” Notice the conditions that lead to overdrinking, and shift your environment—not just your mindset. 2. Design Your Success Instead of Forcing It If your goal is to drink less, don't just “try harder”—change your surroundings. Example: Instead of sitting in front of the TV and trying not to drink, switch up your routine. Take a bath, read in a different room, go for an evening walk—anything that naturally moves you away from the habit. 3. Make Your Future Self's Life Easier Instead of spending willpower on not drinking, use it to set up a better tomorrow: ✅ Get a good night's sleep. ✅ Hydrate and eat nourishing food. ✅ Move your body and reduce stress before it builds up. The more you invest in yourself today, the less you'll need to rely on willpower tomorrow.   Homework: Ask yourself: ✔ Where in my life am I forcing things instead of designing things? ✔ How can I change my environment so I don't have to struggle as much? ✔ What if my power wasn't in my performance, but in how I take care of myself? Because real power doesn't come from proving yourself—it comes from setting yourself up for success.   Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL. If you're ready to fully commit to your personal growth and do the work to get emotionally sober (side effects include an 80 percent reduction in drinking),You'll walk away from our call with a clear understanding of how to get the skills you need to transform your life.   Do you want help from Colleen with a situation you're struggling with?
