Podcasts about Visionaries

Kelly has a fascinating conversation with University of Toronto professor Christopher DiCarlo where they discuss his new book: “Building a God: The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and the Race to Control It.”  “Let me be very clear: the threat from AI of existential risk and annihilation to humanity is very real.”  “The word ‘robot' is derived […]

As Bruce Epperly regularly writes to the Speaker Mike Johnson , "Please consider what Jesus, not Trump, would do." Using this petition as a starting point, we talk with Epperly, who is a theologian, spiritual guide, pastor, professor, and prolific author, about Christianity and US politics today. Listen as he explains how conservative efforts to hold onto traditional theology & the "greatness" of the 1950s goes against the "divinely creative grain of the universe." Liberals are not spared, (nor are Conservatives written off--we are all still "one Church") in this conversation that seeks Christ in the midst of a binary political divide.Dr. Bruce Epperly is the author of over 60 books, including his latest, "The God of the Growing Edge: Whitehead and Thurman on Theology, Spirituality, and Social Change" & the recent "Homegrown Mystics: Restoring Our Nation with the Healing Wisdom of America's Visionaries." In addition to teaching, preaching, and writing, Epperly is also a leading thinker in Process Theology and Christian Mysticism (and as you can hear in the podcast, hundreds of other topics.) You can find out more about Bruce Epperly and his work at www.drbruceepperly.com. Find your guides at Quoir Academy! If you've ever deconstructed your faith you know it's not easy.

Kelly welcomes renowned playwright, poet and teacher Sarah Ruhl back to the podcast.

Welcome to a very special 200th episode! Kim is thrilled to be joined by Crista Grasso, founder of the Simplify to Scale and Lean Out Methods, for a conversation about leading and innovating in this year of massive change in the stars. Join them as they discuss strategies for scaling, how to tap into your intuition to take big leaps, and move with cosmic timing to build their businesses!Episode HighlightsCrista shares a personal story about launching her Strategic Ops Institute brand. Despite roadblocks and timing issues, her soul-driven decision catapulted her success, proving that ideas are only as powerful as the action behind them. The conversation highlights why structure, curation, and aligning with cosmic timing are crucial in a fast-changing business landscape.Inspiring Quotes"When you have your soul leading, you become rich and powerful. You make big impact. You leave your legacy. And that's what I'm all about.""Without the execution and making it real, it doesn't get very far—other than a little bit of excitement at the time of having it and then it just falls flat."Key Questions Answered1. How can astrology and soul alignment give entrepreneurs an edge in 2025?[4:43 - 9:18] Astrology reveals unique timing and energy patterns for the year ahead. Kim Woods explains that recognizing these cosmic windows (like Jupiter entering Cancer, or Pluto in Aquarius), and aligning business moves with these, allows entrepreneurs to synchronize action and intention. The practice sharpens intuition, clarifies priorities, and helps leaders step forward when opportunity knocks. 2. What keeps great ideas from becoming business breakthroughs?[2:53-5:21] Crista shares that ideas alone are "mildly interesting" unless coupled with structure and execution. The curation of opportunities—choosing which ideas to act on and supporting them with real plans—are what transform inspiration into income. The episode emphasizes that entrepreneurship is about making things tangible, not just dreaming big.3. What role does fear play in following your soul's mission?[14:49-15:48] According to Kim, living your soul mission often comes with fear and discomfort—if you're not a little scared, you may not be stretching far enough. Facing and moving through this fear is key; those willing to lean into uncertainty will ride the "power wave" of authentic success, especially in 2025's rapidly shifting landscape.Action Steps for Visionary RebelsLeverage Astrological Timing: Pay attention to cosmic shifts throughout the year—Jupiter in Cancer, Pluto in Aquarius—when making strategic plans.Curate Your Opportunities: Not every invitation serves your highest vision. Trim, select, and weave your choices for maximum impact and sustainability.Let Your Soul Lead: If you feel fear or resistance, you might just be on the right track. Trust your intuition—and act.Join the CommunityLoved this episode?

I sat down with author Jeffrey Orens, who wrote Selling Baseball: How A.G. Spalding Built America's Game.This episode is all about the unsung architects of America's pastime—A.G.

These two names might not be as famous as Babe Ruth or Jackie Robinson, but their impact on baseball's transformation from a simple game to a nationwide business powerhouse is huge.We'll explore how Spalding's marketing genius and Wright's pioneering play helped shape baseball into the beloved sport we know today. You're not going to want to miss this deep dive into baseball history.

Year 2023 marked 120 years of the Lazarus Jewish Hospital in Lviv (Lwów/Lemberg). This richly illustrated book is a tribute to its place in the once-vibrant Jewish community of the city and in the society at large during the period 1903-1939. Visionaries from Lviv: The Story of a Jewish Hospital (Academic Studies Press, 2024) presents the hospital's history and its fascinating architecture, its doctors, and its founder, a prominent local Jewish philanthropist Maurycy Lazarus, with the background of the Jewish life in Lviv. The volume also details the history of medicine and medical education in Habsburg Galicia prior to the hospital's founding, Jewish access to the medical profession, and the impact of Jewish doctors on the path to modernity. It also shows the struggle of women to become doctors. A moving and timely book with contributions from leading historians, scholars, and medical professionals, Visionaries from Lviv is an ode to the once thriving Jewish community in Lviv and a testament to how one person's dream and commitment can impact the lives of so many. This publication was made possible with support from Furthermore: a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund and Gesher Galicia. Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you ever sense that you're moving fast yet, somehow, standing still?  You're busy but you're not making progress in your important goals—finances, career, relationships, health, or happiness. On our latest Love University Podcast, we explored that turning-point moment when scattered effort condenses into laser focus, self-doubt thins out, and your boldest vision starts taking physical form. Here's what we learned: Direct Your Spirit Flow: Master the Energy Within Most of us leak power in a hundred ways—notifications, half-finished projects, stray worries. Energy diffused is energy diminished. When you choose one meaningful target and give it your undivided attention, everything changes: tasks line up, distractions fall away, and progress compounds. Think of sunlight: it's pleasant when spread across a porch, but astonishing when it's focused through a lens strong enough to weld steel. Your attention is that lens. Transform, Don't Erase, Yourself Real change isn't a demolition job; it's a patient revelation of what you have inside you. The great artist Michelangelo said the statue already lived inside the marble—his task was to remove what didn't belong. In the same way, your confidence, creativity, and resolve are already present. Strip away outdated labels, inherited fears, and second-hand expectations, and your genuine strengths stand in full power. Transformation is less about becoming someone new and more about allowing the best of you to step forward. Materialize Your Desires Through Perfect Conception Invention always begins as a clear imagination. Visionaries from Beyoncé to Whitney Wolfe Herd (founder of Bumble dating app) saw vivid mental movies of their future long before anyone else believed in them. They didn't wish vaguely for success; they rehearsed every detail until the outcome felt inevitable. When your picture of the future sharpens into a high definition, resources and opportunities organize themselves around that certainty. If you're ready to shift from hoping to happening, practice these four essential keys: Keep a Daily Time of Focus Reserve an uninterrupted slice of time—no alerts, no multitasking—to clear your mind and advance your most important objective. Meditate, think, journal, exercise, engage in a spiritual practice, plan your next step. It's true that momentum loves consistency. When you focus on what truly matters, your energy and motivation mutlipy. Eliminate the Nonessential Identify one commitment, habit, or belief that drains your energy without bringing you closer to your goal. Now, whatever it is, stop doing it; eliminate what is not moving you toward your dreams. Each distraction and nongoal you let go of gives you strength and encouragement to keep pushing for your true aims. Draft a Vision Script Write a one-page snapshot of your ideal day.  Imagine that you wake up to work that excites you, relationships that nourish you, and activities that energize you. Study your script and visualize your brilliant future—morning, noon, and night—until it feels real to you. It will be. Act in Alignment to Your Dream Take one step—however small—that matches your script: Send the proposal, enroll in the course, introduce yourself to a future collaborator or prospective soul mate. Action signals to the mind that your vision is underway. Remember, the life you want isn't waiting somewhere outside you; it's pressing from within, eager to emerge. When you direct your spirit flow, you hold a vivid vision that feels familiar, and you transform potential into power. Let today be the day that you close the gap between knowing and doing. Aim your attention like a beam, bring your authentic strengths to center stage, and watch the world rearrange itself around a picture you have created of your future. Above all, keep loving yourself, others, and a Higher Nature—when love fuels focus, the results are limitless.

Once upon a time, I hosted a masterclass that had what I thought was a terrible conversion rate — until it wasn't. Not a single person bought on the call. But in the days that followed? EVERY person who attended wound up buying.In this episode, I'm breaking down the four-part framework I've used (and taught behind-the-scenes) to drive wildly high conversion rates — ethically, educationally, and without a bait-and-switch in sight. If you've ever felt allergic to bro marketing, or you want to sell on a masterclass but don't want it to feel manipulative or predatory… this one's for you.What's Inside This Episode:What I was taught that made my educator brain absolutely cringe and how most webinar frameworks get it completely backwardsMy secret weapon for not only teaching, but converting sales — using learning design to teach people to buy betterThe reason I refuse to teach anything I wouldn't use in my actual programThe one thing I HAVE changed about masterclasses to evolve with what works todayWhy I only attract people who already believe they're capableMy signature take on “consent-based selling” — and how I bake it in to every sales presentationHow you can steal this approach and build your own cash-converting masterclass

SUMMARY: In this lively episode, Terryn and Aaron dive into the dynamic tension between visionaries and operators in the world of business. The duo explores how the differing perceptions of time and execution create a "time-space continuum" that can either fuel success or spark chaos. From the visionary's lightning-fast ideas to the operator's methodical planning, they unpack real-world examples—like a client meeting earlier that day—where these two mindsets collide. The conversation covers the pitfalls of rushing ideas to market, especially in the online education space, and the importance of balancing speed with quality to avoid burnout and brand damage. With practical insights, like using bullet points for visionaries and asking “What can I stop doing?” to prioritize, Terryn and Aaron offer strategies for fostering collaboration between these essential roles. They even entertain the idea of a "SWAT team" for quick-turnaround projects, ensuring visionaries get their dopamine hit without derailing the operation. Tune in for a blend of humor, relatable stories, and actionable advice to bridge the gap between big ideas and flawless execution.   Minute by Minute: 0:00 Introduction 1:51 Where are we at with that? 3:52 The danger of speed in the online education space 7:47 Visionary and operator, polar opposites 13:05 Working through implementing an idea 18:03 It's never cost you less than right now 20:17 What can I stop doing?
