Podcasts about Vanity

Chuck Todd argues we've entered end-stage Trump — the most dangerous phase — as the president lashes out at a reality that keeps refusing to cooperate: raiding the Pentagon to fund his vanity arch, banning news outlets from the White House over coverage he dislikes. The new NBC poll gives him nothing to work with. Trump's approval sits at a second-term low of 41%, 55% say his policies have hurt the economy, and 43% say their congressional vote is meant to signal opposition to him — the highest such share NBC has recorded in three decades of pre-midterm polling. The war is a millstone (62% say it wasn't worth it), data centers are the worst-performing issue of the cycle, and the most popular positions in the survey are taxing billionaires and Medicare for All. Chuck’s read: the midterms are now entirely a referendum on Trump and the wave is showing up in Republican behavior as much as the polling. Then, Louisiana Congressman Troy Carter joins the Chuck ToddCast to talk about a state whose bipartisan political culture — he worked productively with Mike Johnson in the statehouse — has been steamrolled by a president who's made clear he doesn't want to work with Democrats at all. Carter notes the irony that a majority of Johnson's own district is Medicaid-dependent in a state that never expanded Medicaid, and that the One Big Beautiful Bill cut it anyway. He argues Democrats lose working-class voters by refusing to speak plain American, that Bill Cassidy would have been tough to beat had he run as an independent rather than losing his primary, and that impeachment without the votes is a fool's errand even as rampant corruption demands answers. Plus: why progressives struggle with Black voters, the flawed SCORE Act, Jeff Landry's LSU mess, and Carter's bill requiring watermarks on AI video. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the story of Soviet soldier Stanislav Petrov correctly identifying a false alarm and preventing a potential nuclear war & the importance of human decision making in an automated system. He also answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and recaps the week in college football.

We can't believe we're saying this, but this movie may be the best move of our Gene Simmons: Ultimate '80s Villain? month. The brainchild of Steven Paul, the movie stars John Stamos, Vanity, Peter Kwong, George Lazenby, Robert Englund, and the most insane and possibly best performance from Gene Simmons, as the intersex Velvet Von Ragnar. It's a movie that you have to see to believe.

If our wisdom does not lead us to fear God, then we have missed its purpose.

In the 1520s, a dynastic crisis loomed behind the brilliance of Henry VIII's court. Desperate for a male heir after Catherine of Aragon's string of tragic pregnancies, Henry's frustration mounted as his foreign military adventures failed and the pope stalled his annulment. Following grisly executions, public book burnings of Martin Luther's texts, the shocking elevation of an illegitimate son, Henry stood at a dangerous crossroads.

Pastor Eric Channing preaches on Ecclesiastes 1:1-11.

Some days it feels like everything is pointless and unfruitful.  It can certainly feel how Solomon portrayed events in Ecclesiastes -- especially the first few chapters.Have you ever had a "all is vanity" moment or season?Ecclesiastes 1:13-14 KJVAnd I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith. I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.Related Podcasts:— Persistent and Consistent — Prayer Life— All About Jabez and his Prayer— Take Courage— What Doest Thou Here, Elijah?— Fear Not — For I am With Thee— We are Well Able to Overcome— Encourage Yourself in the Lord— Persistent and Consistent — Prayer Life— Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled— Search Me, O God— Lessons from the Book of Jonah— Lessons from the Book of Job #1— Lessons from the Book of Job #2— Lessons from the Book of Job #3— Lessons from the Book of Job #4— Lessons from the Book of Job #5— Lessons from the Life of King HezekiahRelated Podcasts at TrueWisdom:— Prayer & Prophecy— Songs and Prayers— What are you doing here— Knowing God's Will, Part 1— Knowing God's Will, Part 2Text UsSupport the showSend questions or comments to: BibleQuestions@ASBzone.comThe Key Principles of Effective Bible Study is a resource which outlines core concepts shown in the Scriptures that will help you to better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines.  We have an extended, 24-part podcast series on these principles, and a condensed, 9-part series called God's Precious Word, that is based on the same resource.We also recommend that you check out the True Wisdom podcast which I co-host with Robert Baker -- a different format for Bible Study.Finally, here are some additional highly recommended resources:Other Resources:— e-Sword Bible Software— MySword Bible Software— Blue Letter Bible Study Site— "Knowing the Bible" Bible MapsWe pray that all of these resources will be very helpful to you in your Bible Studies.

Flo posted a video that said "just because you're Catholic doesn't mean you have to be ugly." Days later a comment rolled in: look at the saints. Rose of Lima made herself ugly on purpose. Vanity is a sin. Please don't try to normalize it.So this is the full breakdown. Flo is joined by Mary Harper (@theliturgicalstyle), author of The Liturgical Style Guide and the forthcoming What the Saints Wore, who quite literally wrote the book on dressing like the saints. Together they go to Matthew 6, the mystics, the extreme penances, and the question underneath all of it: can a Catholic woman care about her appearance? In This Episode:Why discarding your looks can be its own act of prideThe St. Martin de Porres story about "nice, neat little shoes" that will change how you judge what someone's wearingThe examination of conscience question that makes vanity clearMary's guided prayer with Our Lady in front of your mirrorThe St. Francis detail almost nobody knowsBOOKINSTAGRAMCONNECT WITH FLORENCIA:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply to The Made Good Method and Work With Our Team⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

What if the fastest way to grow was walking away from $15 million in sales?  In this episode of The Story of a Brand Show, host Rose Hamilton sits down with Jason Burke, Founder and CEO of New Primal. Jason shares his incredible evolution from Googling "how to make beef jerky" without any food manufacturing background to building a CPG powerhouse.  Together, they deliver a masterclass on commercial discipline, detailing how New Primal cut 36 products down to a focused core, shifted from an impulse snack to a high-velocity lunchbox staple, and learned that revenue without healthy margins is just noise. In this episode, we cover: * The $15 Million Cut: How eliminating profitable yet complex SKUs and categories actually unlocked faster overall growth. * The Hidden Tax of Complexity: Why adding "one more SKU" taxes management bandwidth, operations, and capital far more than founders realize. * Top-Line Vanity vs. Enterprise Value: Shifting away from chasing rapid top-line revenue to building a sustainable, margin-accretive business model. * Listening to Consumer Behavior: How feedback from parents led to pivoting into mini meat sticks and capturing the expanding kids' lunchbox market. * The Retailer Reality Check: What a brand truly owes the shelf after getting authorized, and why distribution without demand is a dangerous trap. * Founder Discipline: Why the hardest part of scaling is learning to stop inventing new products and start mastering the core.

In 2007, child protection officers in Pinella County, Florida, spoke with a 14-year-old girl who'd been sexually assaulted by a musician she'd met on MySpace. But thanks to their failed investigation, more than 20 preteen fans would suffer the same fate.Dahvie Vanity, frontman of scene kid band Blood On The Dance Floor, spent over a decade using social media to prey on his band's enormous preteen fan base – seemingly, with absolute impunity.--Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / Instagram

Joel Gandara fled Cuba on an overcrowded boat at age 4, grew up in poverty, and built and sold a multi-million-dollar men's apparel company — without ever having a master plan. He joins Ted Phaeton on The Modern Man Podcast to unpack the arc, the tactics, and the brotherhood he now runs for men who want more.   Joel is a Cuban refugee, a former apparel entrepreneur (he acquired 13 of 14 businesses that weren't publicly for sale — using handwritten notes as the opening move), and the founder of 31 Daily Challenges and The Brotherhood — an invitation-only community of 119 men across the country who meet the standard through his 31-day challenge process. His wife runs the equivalent for women.   In this conversation: the Garbage Pail Kids origin story (fourth-grade entrepreneur, out of necessity), why he never had a master plan and figured everything out along the way, the $160K cash-withdrawal moment that shifted his identity, why 100% of his risks got green-lit by his wife (and the exit-plan discipline that earned that trust), the organize-organize-organize principle that made his apparel company sale-ready without a scramble, the handwritten-note tactic that led to 13 acquisitions, the Brotherhood model (invitation-only, intentionally slow-growth, 2–5 new invites per class), why the lone wolf is losing more than he thinks, how to vet mentors ("how are they living, not what they show"), the anti-vanity discipline ($49 Timex, no mortgage, used truck bought cash — the more things you own, the more things break), and the line every married man should stitch on his wall: pick the damn place.

In Episode 275 of The Popko Project Podcast, Popko sits down with Nashville-based artist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Johnny Cochran to talk about finding your own lane, staying authentic and why success in music can't always be measured by the numbers on a screen.Originally from Louisiana, Johnny grew up surrounded by music before eventually making the move to Nashville. After initially pursuing country music — including opening opportunities with artists like Brett Young, Walker Hayes and Blake Shelton — Johnny realized the music he was making wasn't an authentic representation of who he was. That realization ultimately led him back toward his rock and pop-rock roots and the sound he's creating today.Johnny breaks down his new album, Empty Shell of the Good Old Days, a nostalgic collection of songs inspired by love, relationships and looking back at moments that aren't quite the same anymore. He describes his sound as "sad boy pop rock," blending melancholy lyrics with bright, energetic music and influences ranging from synthwave to modern rock.We dive into standout tracks including "Miami," "A Couple More Hours Till the Sun Comes Up," "I Should Know Better" and the album's sleeper track, "Shades of You." Johnny also shares the story behind the "Miami" music video and reveals that he's working on a full live recording of the album filmed at the actual house connected to the period of his life that inspired the record.The conversation also gets into the realities of being an independent artist in today's music industry. Johnny explains why he considers streaming numbers a "vanity metric," how great marketing can sometimes outperform great music, and why he'd rather build an audience that buys tickets and shows up in the room than simply chase millions of streams.Johnny also talks about what he wants his live show to become, leaning even further into rock on his next record, making a living as a working musician in Nashville, and his plans for more music videos, live performances and another album potentially arriving in 2027.Plus, we get into his early influences including Switchfoot, Relient K and Underoath, the impact of bands like The 1975 and The Band CAMINO, growing up around his local hardcore scene, The Office, Breaking Bad, Dragon Ball Zand plenty more.If Johnny Cochran isn't on your radar yet, this is a good place to start — and when you're done with the episode, go listen to "Miami."The Popko Project Podcast is proudly sponsored by:Keller's Garden Center and Landscaping ServicesIonic DevelopmentThe V-Spot BarScotch Sauce — makers of Happy Boy Hot Sauce and Sauced Up Jerky.

Am I waiting to feel confident before I start living like the woman I want to become?Does the way you look actually change the way you perform — and could getting dressed be one of the most underrated tools for confidence and success?In this episode of Uncut & Uncensored, Caroline gets honest about image, money, confidence, ageing and reinvention. After losing almost everything and rebuilding her life, businesses and identity, Caroline asks an uncomfortable question: does looking successful actually help you become more successful?Dress as the woman you want to become before you've fully become her, why women are still judged differently as they age, the pressure to "dress your age," working from home without letting yourself disappear, and why confidence is sometimes something you put on until you remember it was yours all along.If you've been waiting for the promotion, the money, the body, the relationship or the "right time" to finally show up as her — this episode is your reminder:Wear the dress. Book the flight. Enter the room. Stop saving your best self for later.And if you're ready to put yourself in a room with women who are doing exactly that, join Caroline this November for the Maldives Private Island Retreat.

Pope Leo just said something most of us aren't ready to hear about beauty, aging, and the pressure to stay young forever. In his homily on the feast of the Assumption, he talked about Mary's body, the way icons always show her young, and what that has to do with the wrinkles, gray hair, and “signs of love” that show up on the rest of us. We get into the cultural stuff nobody wants to say out loud: plastic surgery, Botox, Ozempic, balloon faces, filtered photos that make you hate your real face, and the quiet panic that hitting a certain age means you've become useless. This isn't a lecture. It's us priests talking honestly about the fear of looking older, the difference between taking care of yourself and trying to outrun death, and why the people we actually want to be loved by aren't the ones who only notice the surface. If you've ever looked in the mirror and felt the pressure, or watched someone you love chase a version of beauty that doesn't exist, this one's for you. Featuring: Fr. Simon Esshaki, Fr.

Cindy Esliger explores what happens when years of quietly minimizing ourselves at work start to make our expertise invisible. Many of us have learned to soften our language, wait to be asked for our thoughts, and let the confident answers of others stand even when we know there is a better one. Cindy explains why being competent is not enough if no one understands the contribution we're making. Visibility is not vanity. It's information, and closing the gap between how capable we are and how visible we allow that capability to be is essential to career growth. Reclaiming our voice means noticing how often we ask permission to use it. Tentative preambles, qualifiers, overthinking, and waiting until an idea is certain quietly undermine our authority and can keep us from contributing at all. Cindy reminds us that the people who invited us into the room have already decided that our expertise belongs there. Speaking with conviction means trusting our preparation enough to put an idea on the table. The same applies when we disagree. Avoiding conflict doesn't preserve harmony. Respectful disagreement can build trust, especially when we make the point about the work rather than the person and present a solution to a problem. How we use our voice matters too. Cindy identifies three specific habits worth listening for: 1. Uptalk, 2. Pace, and 3. Qualifiers. The goal is not to sound like someone else or perform confidence. It's to recognize the habits that undercut the expertise and authority we've already earned. Reclaiming our voice takes practice, but over time the gap between what we know and what we allow others to see can close.

The DC circuit court of appeals ruled that Donald Trump must stop constructing his vanity ballroom on the White House grounds, ruling that his conduct was unconstitutional. They ruled that way because only Congress can spend money to construct a government building. And it wasn't only the court of appeals that ruled against Trump - the court of appeals was affirming the trial court judge's ruling that Donald Trump's conduct is unconstitutional and it must stop.But now, another one of Trump's former criminal defense attorneys - Solicitor General John Sauer - is asking the Supreme Court to allow Donald Trump's unconstitutional conduct to continue. Glenn explains why John Sauer's argument is a bunch of nonsense.

Michelin Star Moves: The Smile Design ProcessDr. Ashley Joves sits down with co-host Collin Al-Samarrie to walk through how Smile & Co. approaches cosmetic cases, from the first consult to the sneak peek reveal, and why she built this into her practice in the first place.Where It StartedAshley's interest in aesthetics began in dental school as part of NYU's honors aesthetics program, taught in part by a then up-and-coming Dr. Michael Apa. She later completed a highly competitive three-resident program outside Philadelphia, where weekly specialist-led sessions gave her hands-on experience across surgery, perio, and complex case planning.Finding Her NicheAshley initially considered orthodontics before dental school but found her calling in the artistry of general dentistry instead. After years of "bread and butter" work as an associate, including an implant residency she ultimately stepped back from, she didn't return to cosmetics full time until opening Smile & Co. in 2017.The Digital Smile Design ProcessPatients start with a virtual or in-person consultation, Kois-protocol photos, and an iTero scan sent to Ashley's ceramist for an initial digital design. Weeks later, patients return for a "sneak peek" try-in day using Luxatemp, a no-drill preview Ashley calls the test drive before commitment.Setting ExpectationsAshley reframes the "cement day" as a "try-in day," to remove pressure from the process. Patients are told upfront that a smile may take more than one try to get right, and that dentistry isn't meant to last forever given how hard people are on their teeth.Vanity vs. NeedAshley pushes back on the idea that cosmetic dentistry is purely vanity, pointing to Kois' teaching that healthy enamel should wear only one millimeter every 150 years. Visible chipping, thinning, or shortening are signs of an active disease process, not aging or vanity.Looking AheadAshley shares her longer-term goal of building Smile & Co. to a place of profitability that allows for more charity smile work, referencing past "Give Back a Smile" cases. The conversation closes with a teaser for an in-person TMO community meetup.Thank You to Our PartnersNet32: The dental marketplace that helps practice owners stop overpaying for supplies.

Liv Hill explores the concept of stewardship of the body through a biblical lens, emphasizing patience, consistency, and faithfulness in health and physical capacity. She shares a powerful story about a client's transformation that highlights the importance of caring for our bodies as acts of faithfulness, not vanity.

The sermon exposes the danger of legalism by analyzing Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees in Matthew 15, demonstrating how man-made rules replace genuine devotion. It argues that legalism produces heartless worship, where outward rituals mask a distant and unengaged soul, contrasting this with God's desire for inner transformation and sincere love. The preacher warns against both Roman Catholic sacramentalism and evangelical will-worship, asserting that neither approach honors God when it relies on human invention rather than divine command. True worship requires a renewed heart aligned with the truth of Scripture, rejecting any practices not explicitly ordained by God. Believers are urged to examine their own hearts and commit to worshipping God exclusively in the manner He has revealed.

August 15, 2026; 7am: The costs of President Trump's vanity projects are reaching new heights after the Washington Post reported his administration is estimated to spend at least $900 million on remodeling the White House.

Sondre Lerche has been writing songs for most of his life. He released his debut Faces Down more than two decades ago, and somehow, eleven albums later, he's still finding ways to make the whole thing feel new. We talk about his new record Acrobats, spending years rewriting a single song, falling in love in a world that can make happiness feel almost irresponsible, and what performing 130 shows of *Moulin Rouge!* taught him about singing, acting, and pushing himself somewhere completely unfamiliar. We also get into getting older, vanity, learning to let go of how other people see you, his lifelong style obsession, the influence of A-ha's Morten Harket, vintage clothes, Ralph Lauren, and why some of his earliest songs are harder for him to revisit than others. * Sponsored by Bezel - the trusted marketplace for buying and selling your next luxury watch Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
