Podcasts about virtues

In this episode of Heart-Focused Parenting, I share how family travel offers the perfect opportunity to grow character in our kids (and of course, ourselves as well!) Drawing from our recent trip to France, I started to think of four key virtues that make travelling with children easier: patience, flexibility, self-control, and responsibility. With practical examples and heart-focused ideas, I encourage parents to start teaching and practising these traits at home before the suitcases come out, helping kids respond wisely to new situations, changes, and challenges while keeping relationships strong both at home and out and about.

Today I'm speaking with Simon Critchley, philosopher and author of Tragedy, the Greeks, and Us (2019) – a book that argues tragedy offers a truer philosophy than Philosophy itself, a way of thinking that begins where certainty ends. We talk about what happens when justice stands on both sides, when virtue and flaw are inseparable, and when insight comes too late for action. For Critchley, tragedy embodies a philosophy opposed to Plato's: instead of banishing contradiction to protect reason, it lets conflict and emotion become forms of knowledge. I think this is a foundational insight: life is full of trade-offs, and we're better off when we face them head-on. Virtues can so easily turn into vices when circumstances change. And our freedom is always circumscribed by fate, even though we often give fate different names nowadays.Anyway, while we're at it, I should mention the title of his latest, and fantastic, book: I Want to Die, I Hate My Life (2025). It do be like that sometimes (the book is excellent, by the way.) If you ever wanted to study literature or philosophy at university but didn't, or if you did and came away disappointed, Simon Critchley's books are the best gateway drug I've come across in a long, long time.In this episode, Simon Critchley shows how tragedy, theatre, and democracy are linked, what it means to live without rescue, and to think clearly in the dark.

This is a non-denominational workbook which covers 23 different virtues, such as Patience, Compassion, Decisiveness, and Giving.Each day you'll become the student of a single virtue as you practice the daily exercises.1. You'll learn how each virtue shows up in the world.2. Then you will seek out opportunities to live it yourself.3. And then you can reflect on the opportunities you've encountered and take note of how you've grown. By focusing on just one virtue at a time, you'll gradually shift from simply practicing it to truly embodying it. And at the end of the 23 days, you'll feel these virtues to be alive in your thoughts, your words, and your actions.To View This Episode- https://youtu.be/Cqa_aSaGXJk#philfriedrich #whoknewinthemoment #JohnnySlicks #Virtues #author

My Guest: Suzy Welch is known for co-founding the Jack Welch Management Institute and writing bestsellers like 10-10-10: A Life Transforming Idea. Her career includes roles as an editor-in-chief for Harvard Business Review, a crime reporter, and a professor. She teaches at NYU and is the best-selling author of Becoming You.  Key Learnings Purpose Requires Realism, Not Just Passion - Everyone wants to be the drummer in Disturbed, but that guy's good at drumming. My whole methodology is about realism. You have to know what your values are, what your interests are, but you better be good at it or forget it. Otherwise, it's a hobby. Values Are Choices, Not Virtues - Most people confuse values and virtues. Virtues are things like integrity, courage, and thankfulness... Behaviors we all should have more of. Values are choices about how you want to live, work, and relate. It's a value if it would drive who you married, what job you took, and where you went on vacation. There are 16 Measurable Values - Values exist on a continuum like a DNA profile. Scope reflects how exciting a life you want. Radius is how much you want to change the world systemically. Belovedness is how important an intimate relationship is to you. Work centrism is whether you love work for work's sake or if it's just a means to an end. Men Over 32 Value Romantic Relationships Most - We just got data showing that for men over the age of 32, belovedness is their number one value. It's much lower for women. Only 50% of people have family centrism in their top five values—we assume everyone shares our values, but they don't. Your Authenticity Gap Reveals Your Pain - You could hold the value of scope as number one, but not be able to live it right now because of your job or family situation. That gap between what you value and what you're living—we call that your authenticity gap. If you've got a big one, you know it because it hurts. Gen Z's Top Value Is Self-Care - 75% of Gen Z have self-care, wellbeing, pleasure, and leisure as their top value. Their top three are self-care, authentic self-expression, and helping others. Meanwhile, hiring managers want achievement, scope, and work centrism. The overlap is 2%. Aptitudes Are Your Brain's Dominant Hand - We have nine cognitive aptitudes preset by age 15. Are you a generalist or a specialist? A future focuser or a present focuser? A brainstormer or someone who comes up with one fully baked idea per year? It's painful to be a generalist in a specialist job. Your Personality Is How The World Experiences You - Your personality is not the list of adjectives you write about yourself. It's how the world experiences you. When I did my 360 feedback, people said I was the hurricane, not the calm at the center. I had to learn to communicate better the thoughts I had, and learn to be less chaotic.  Everyone Writes Themselves As The Hero - A police lieutenant once told me: everyone writes the story of their life with themselves at the center as the hero. No matter what story we tell ourselves, we always cast ourselves as the hero. That's why self-awareness is so hard and why we need testing, not just self-reflection. The Aperture Problem: Kids Only Know Five Jobs - When kids come out of high school, they only know about five jobs, two of which are their parents. By college it goes up to seven. By grad school, MBAs are thinking about two or three options—banking, consulting, or tech. There are 135 industries and thousands of types of work nobody tells them about. Great Leaders Don't Do It For The Money - I've been blessed to know many of the greatest leaders. They're doing it for love of people, excitement, work, or impact. I've never met a great leader who was doing it for the money. Jensen Huang and Jeff Bezos are examples—clarity, vision, excellence in everything, no shortcuts. Better To Be The Author Than The Editor - When you're ambitious, you end up surrounded by voices and can become the editor of your life. You have to become the author. Paint a self-portrait of yourself standing still so that when you start running, you know where you're going and why. Reflection Questions What would the 5 people closest to you say about how you show up? Would their description match how you see yourself, or do you have a self-awareness gap you haven't addressed? If you mapped your actual daily behaviors against your stated top values, would they align? Or are you living someone else's version of success while calling it your own? Are you the author of your life or the editor? Whose voices are loudest in your head when making big decisions, and have you given yourself permission to write your own story?

How do we get the rest, the order, and the productivity levels that we need? As an adult the work never stops, so when do we say “when?” As humans we have desires that are legitimate and need to be fulfilled. Again, when do we say “enough” How much is “good” for us? Listen in. Quotes:“Do you not want the King?” “Want him?” she replied, “How can there be anything that I did not want?” -Perelandra by, C.S. Lewis

Today we have a special guest; Louis Caras, a Tactical Response Small Arms & Tactics instructor who will join us to discuss a troubling situation. Why is it in the year of Our Lord, Two-thousand and Twenty-Five, that there are still so-called experts in the world of firearms who ignore the importance of traumatic medical training and gear? We have a question from an audience member that plays right into our Tech Talk segment from EOTech Inc. What is the difference between target focus and sight focus?

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I dive into the roots and real meaning behind the phrase - "Mind your business." Most of us have heard it thrown around as a sassy comeback or a way to tell someone to butt out, but there's way more to it than just that. I got inspired to find out where those words originally came from and, being a bit of a curious word nerd, I couldn't help but do a little research!Turns out, the story loops us right back to good ol' Benjamin Franklin and the first U.S. copper penny, called the 1787 Fugio cent also known as the “Franklin cent”.So what's up with this coin and how does it apply to us today?On one side, you've got 13 rings representing the original colonies with the words “We Are One,” and the other side features a sundial, with the Latin “Fugio” on the side (which means “I fly”), and underneath is written, “MIND YOUR BUSINESS.” Franklin wasn't just talking business – as in making cold, hard cash - he was also reminding folks that time flies and we should put our energy into our own lives, work, and relationships, while making the most of the time we've been given. I think this message still rings true today, especially in a world full of distractions.I also break down Franklin's 13 Virtues, which are basically his personal recipe for living a good and purposeful life. From temperance to humility, these old-school precepts are surprisingly practical and applicable to life today - things like keeping focused, doing what matters, and being sincere and fair. It's not about capitalistic productivity and hustling for hustle's sake, though; it's about being intentional with your time, energy, and relationships so you can thrive, not just surviveAt the heart of the episode, I reflect on how “minding your business” isn't about shutting out the happenings of the world around you, but rather about cultivating awareness and remembering what really matters.It's about honoring your own journey, while still valuing unity and the well-being of the people around you. If we can look after our own purpose with care, boundaries, and love -and- show up for each other as well… we're using the wisdom from Franklin's time to live better and more meaningful lives right now. ❤️ KK'S KEY TAKEAWAYS:• "Mind your business" originally meant focusing on your own growth, responsibilities, and purpose rather than as a quick insult or sharp dismissal.• Benjamin Franklin's 1787 Fugio cent coin features the phrase as a reminder to use our time wisely and prioritize what matters in life.• The 13 interlocking rings and “We Are One” on the coin emphasize unity and the strength found in community and collaboration.• Franklin's list of 13 virtues encourages personal responsibility, industriousness, moderation, sincerity, and humility - values that are still relevant today.• Getting caught up in other people's business or distractions only takes us away from our own goals and well-being.• Mindfully attending to your day-to-day life helps you live with more intention, creativity, and satisfaction.• Balancing personal focus with care for others leads to growth for both us and our communities.• Making time for rest, boundaries, and self-reflection is just as important as hard work and productivity.

Shooting Range Hearing Protection Guide The discussion focused on hearing protection at shooting ranges, where the professor emphasized that earplugs alone are insufficient due to bone-conductive noise, and recommended using both earplugs and muffs, particularly the Walker Razor electronic muffs. Jarrad inquired about shoulder and cheek weld issues with large muffs, and the professor confirmed that smaller electronic muffs like the Walker Razors work well for shooting. OEG Vision and Shooting Accuracy The meeting focused on discussing vision issues and their impact on shooting accuracy, particularly with the use of an occluded eye gun sight (OEG) and prescription glasses. The Professor shared his research findings and experiments conducted with students, demonstrating how the OEG can improve accuracy for shooters with different vision conditions.

Emmy and Natalia finally talk about the Seven Heavenly Virtues, and wonder if they even really matter at all?   www.patreon.com/cafeteriachristian  

After a South African pastor claimed that Christ would come for his church on September 23, TikTok became rapture obsessed. Mike Erre joins Skye and Kaitlyn to discuss our ongoing fixation with this bad theology, why people get caught up in rapture predictions, and how it damages the credibility of the faith. Kaitlyn talks to Medieval scholar, Grace Hamman, about her new book, “Asks of Old Paths.” Hamman says Medieval literature is rich in wisdom for modern Christians on how to define a good life, using the language of virtues and vices. Also this week—a secular writer examines the benefit of confession and repentance, which makes us wonder why so few Christians practice it.

Read Online“Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” John 1:51In Heaven, we will see all things as God sees them. That full perspective will be beyond glorious. And among the many things that will amaze us from the perspective of Heaven is the incredibly powerful ways that the celestial beings participate in the bringing forth of the Kingdom of God. The Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels and Guardian Angels all cooperate with God's grace in ways similar to how every member of an orchestra works together to produce a single piece of beautiful music. God is the conductor, but these celestial beings participate in the grand fulfillment of the will of God, acting as living instruments of His divine grace.Today's feast honors three of the great archangels mentioned in Scripture: Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. The Archangel Michael is described as a protector in the Old Testament Book of Daniel and as one who does battle with satan in the Books of Revelation and Jude. In Revelation, Michael casts satan out of Heaven along with the other fallen angels. The Archangel Gabriel is spoken of also in the Book of Daniel as one who interprets Daniel's vision. In the New Testament, he is identified as the one who appears to the high priest Zechariah while Zechariah is offering sacrifice in the temple. In that appearance, Gabriel revealed to Zechariah that his wife would have a child, even though she was advanced in years. Gabriel is perhaps best known as the one sent to the Blessed Virgin Mary to reveal to her that she will become the mother of the Savior of the World. Lastly, the Archangel Raphael is referred to in the Old Testament Book of Tobit and is said to have been sent to bring healing to Tobit's eyes.As we honor these three archangels, we can be certain that they are three of a countless number of other angelic beings who cooperate with God, bringing forth His grace and His will into our world. Try to imagine that profound truth. Some angelic beings build up the Kingdom of God by devoting their existence to the perpetual worship of God before His throne. The highest of these are the Seraphim. Other angelic beings build up the Kingdom by bringing forth God's grace and truth to us, intervening in our lives in accord with God's will. These are especially the guardian angels. The archangels, three of whom we honor today, especially have the task of communicating to us the most important messages and graces from God. Reflect, today, upon the glorious reality of the whole host of the celestial beings. Specifically call upon the mediation of these three celestial beings whose names we know, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, as well as upon the mediation of our guardian angels and all others celestial beings. By doing this, we not only entrust ourselves to their loving care, but we also make an act of faith in God by expressing our belief that God has chosen to use these celestial beings to bring forth His Kingdom. By themselves, angels are powerless to act. But since they act only in unison with the will of God, their mediation is as powerful as the grace of God, since it is God Who works through them. Acknowledge them today, call upon their mediation and profess your faith in the glorious work that they do to build up God's Kingdom.Most glorious Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, please do come to my aid. I entrust myself, my family, our Church and the entire world to your loving mediation. Please bring forth God's grace into our lives, communicate God's Word and His holy Will, protect us from all harm and bring healing to those in need. Angels of God, pray for us. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: File:7_archangels.jpg, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Wanna hear the FULL Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program today! Shooting Training and Optics Discussion The hosts announced upcoming training events in Texas and Nevada, promoting classes in pistol and rifle fundamentals. They discussed the benefits of using optics like the EOTech for better visibility and accuracy, especially for those with aging eyes or vision issues. The conversation touched on personal experiences with shooting and the advantages of using modern sights compared to traditional iron sights. EOTech Optics Vision Issues The discussion centered around the use of EOTech optics, particularly a story about a military language specialist with macular degeneration who qualified with an M4 rifle using an EOTech HWS, demonstrating how the optic improved her vision enough to pass qualification.  Brand Loyalty and Wildlife Safety The discussion focused on the decline of brand loyalty in the shooting sports industry due to corporate consolidations, with dad expressing concern about companies being bought up and then discarded. The conversation then shifted to a story about Cornell University students in New York who killed and brought a bear into their dorm for processing, which led to a discussion about proper wildlife handling and safety protocols. Crime and Law Enforcement Challenges Recent incidents of violent crime in New York and Chicago, highlighting how repeat offenders continue to commit crimes despite numerous arrests. They emphasized that progressive policies, such as no-bail laws and criticism of the police, may be contributing to increased violence, while lawful citizens are increasingly forced to defend themselves.
