Kelly welcomes the always-inspiring Morgan Housel back to the podcast to discuss his new book, “The Art of Spending Money: Simple Choices for a Richer Life.” “All behavior makes sense with enough information.” “Be careful judging how other people spend their money.” “The best measure of wealth is what you have minus what you want.”
In this episode, I speak on the concept of ‘separate, purify, and unite' in alchemy and how this applies to our inner union process, the process of outer union (especially in romantic relationships), and more importantly, how this applies to the bigger interplay between healing the relationship between men + women.On a basic level, we need to keep the polarities separate in order to purify them deeply, and then use the purified versions for union. Think about this in relation to masculine and feminine, and why we need to transmute the wounded versions of each into their highest expression (divine).I also apply this in a very practical way to what I call ‘the dance of union + separation' which deeply protects us against codependency, providing the ideal template for the alchemical process of relationships as evolutionary portals.In this episode, I also share why the powers that be are intentionally distorting this process, and why.Please share any comments or questions in the comments section (Substack and Spotify have them) or message me directly on Instagram or in The Visionaries.

Most people think a website redesign is about swapping in some fresh colors, new photos, and fonts that feel “less 2012.” But as Rachel Seid explains, that's only the tip of the iceberg. What actually makes a site unforgettable — and profitable — comes down to how it looks, how it functions, how it feels, and what it communicates at first glance.In this episode, Rachel walks through her signature 4 “alities” framework and shows how those four layers completely transform the way a site performs.

Welcome to Provocative Conversations from Twice 5 Miles Radio. I'm your host, James Navé. Today, we venture into the soul of community, tradition, and joyful expression through the lens of contra dancing, sound, and the magic of gathering. In this episode, I sit down with Ed and Tami Howe—two deeply rooted contributors to the contra dance movement and the LEAF Festival. Design, Dance, and LEAF Love From Ed's beginnings as a fiddler in Maine to his rise as a creative force behind the band Perpetual e-Motion, his story is steeped in sound, stagecraft, and communal uplift. Tami shares how a search for connection led her to the contra dance floor, where eye contact and shared rhythm transformed her sense of belonging. We dive into Brookside, the epicenter of LEAF's dance scene—a pavilion filled with movement, music, and intentional design that fosters joy and inclusiveness. We explore the art of building the dance floor, the evolving language of tradition, and the metaphorical power of crafting space where everyone feels welcome. It's about design meeting passion. Movement meeting grace. Mistakes becoming invitations. From the roots of Nelson, New Hampshire, to the inclusive pulse of modern festivals, contra dance has become more than a pastime—it's a way of life. Stay with us. This episode is a celebration of artistry, culture, resilience, and the kind of dance that brings people home to themselves.

When Rachel Seid left her nonprofit job to pursue web design, she didn't know that what began as a scrappy side project would turn into a business that allows her to be fully herself — in her words: loud, passionate, and unwilling to settle for mediocrity. Her early days were filled with $800 websites, cobbled-together code, and the dizzying task of managing every platform under the sun. But through trial, error, and a knack for reading how people actually think and behave, she found her zone of genius: building personality-packed Squarespace sites that don't just look good, but actually work.What sets Rachel apart isn't just her technical skill. It's the way she weaves adaptability, storytelling, and human psychology into every stage of her business. From managing the tension between feast-and-famine cycles to designing a sales process that makes prospects feel seen before they even sign, Rachel has built a company rooted in freedom and fun — two things she refuses to compromise on. In this episode, she opens up about how she's reshaped her pricing, her sales strategy, and her confidence, all while proving that sustainability in business comes down to one thing: flexibility.. . . . . . . . . . . . .⭐️ Love this episode?

That word kept following her until it became a mandate through LIGHTbeamers: help women turn lived experience into communication that deeply resonate and moves an audience.In this conversation, we dig into how she rebuilt her career around that idea and why speaking — keynotes, workshops, the mic in a room full of decision-makers — became her highest-leverage growth engine.

Oh heyyyy, long time no talk! In this comeback episode of The Visionary Files, I'm chatting about what's really been happening these past four months — the decisions I didn't plan to make, the ones I had to make, and the one choice that catapulted Visionaries into the fastest growth I've ever experienced in business. This isn't a tale of “I burned it all down and came back better” but rather a moment of recalibration, a glimpse inside the mess of success, and an honest reflection on the discomfort of watching everything grow faster than your systems can catch up. . . . . . . . . . . . . .⭐️ Love this episode?

Psychocomicology's Sam, Edgar, and Mig join Tad to discuss Issues #33-57 of Tom King's Batman run.
In today's episode, we explore the interesting world of prophets in the Old Testament by comparing and contrasting three key Hebrew terms: nabi , ra'ah , and hozeh —all often translated as "prophet" or "seer." Drawing from 1 Samuel 9:9, we unpack the linguistic and historical evolution from ra'ah ("seer") to nabi ("prophet")—a shift that appears to be more social than divinely prescribed. What does this transition reveal about how Israel understood prophetic ministry over time?We discuss how these three terms may reflect different modes of revelation (how prophets receive messages), means of communication (how prophets deliver messages), or even content of the revelation itself. For instance, while "seer" might imply supernatural sight into the future or unseen realms, the biblical record shows that even prophets called seers, like Samuel, often received revelation through spoken words, not visions (1 Samuel 3). So what, then, distinguishes a nabi from a ra'ah or a hozeh?To add to the intrigue, 1 Chronicles 29:29 uses all three terms to describe different prophets—Samuel the ra'ah, Nathan the nabi, and Gad the hozeh. But the text gives no clear explanation of the differences between them. We're left to conclude that some distinction existed, even if its precise meaning remains elusive.Why does this matter? Because prophets play a central role in 1 Kings—especially after Solomon's death and the division of the kingdom. Understanding these prophetic terms helps us read their stories with greater clarity and theological depth.From there, we transition to the Gospel of John (1:43–51), where Jesus encounters Nathanael and demonstrates the qualities of both a seer and a prophet. He reveals hidden knowledge about Nathanael's character and location, prompting Nathanael to proclaim Jesus as the Son of God and King of Israel. But then Jesus flips the script—promising that Nathanael (along with the other disciples) will see even greater things: angels ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.We close with a reflection on how spiritual gifting often multiplies in community. Just as the disciples, by walking with Jesus, began to function in his prophetic and visionary gifting, so too today we often grow in spiritual capacity by walking closely with others who carry those gifts.Key Passages: 1 Samuel 9:9 - the word "seer" gives way to the word "prophet"1 Chronicles 29:29 - three different Hebrew words for "prophet" are used for three different peopleJohn 1:43-51 - Jesus functions as a Nabi, Seer, and possibly a ChozehExplainer Video on how to use www.biblehub.com and www.blueletterbible.orgLeave us a question or comment at our website podcast page.* Intro Music: "Admirable" Carlos Herrera Music

In this episode of Exploring Humanity Through Sci-Fi, we dive into the eerie brilliance of two modern horror auteurs: Robert Eggers and Zach Cregger. Though their paths to filmmaking couldn't be more different—Eggers from the brooding world of theater, Cregger from the irreverent heights of sketch comedy—they've each carved out unforgettable spaces in the genre. We trace Eggers' evolution from designing stage productions to crafting atmospheric nightmares like The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman, culminating in his upcoming reimagining of Nosferatu. Meanwhile, Cregger's pivot from Whitest Kids U Know to the twisted psychological terrain of Barbarian reveals a filmmaker unafraid to weaponize the familiar—turning domestic rituals into sites of dread.
Better Business Better Life! Helping you live your Ideal Entrepreneurial Life through EOS & Experts
In this week's episode of Better Business, Better Life, host Debra Chantry-Taylor dives into a challenge many visionaries face, having too many brilliant ideas and not enough follow-through. With energy and insight, she unpacks how constant pivots and unfinished projects can create chaos, overwhelm teams, and stall real progress. Debra shares how the right mix of focus, data, and discipline can turn that visionary energy into lasting results. She explores the power of committing to just 3–7 priorities per quarter, using an integrator to filter and execute ideas, and building a scorecard that predicts the health of your business, not just reports on the past. Through real-world success stories, including one business that boosted revenue by 20% while reducing workloads, Debra shows how less really can be more. She highlights practical tools like the Eisenhower matrix, clarity breaks, and leading indicators to help visionaries lead with confidence and reduce anxiety. If you've ever felt like your ideas are running ahead of your team or your sanity, this episode will show you how to channel your creativity, trust your data, and build a business that grows without the chaos.

Just like everything that we say that we want from others, we'd do well to check in with ourselves to see if we bring this to the table. With regards to commitment, I speak about checking in with ourselves to see what our level of commitment is in our lives as a whole. Walking the walk and not just talking the talk is a huge part of living life with integrity, in alignment with your values.I also speak about marketing and how so much of it is based on manipulation and dark psychology.This was a private teaching video for my community called The Visionaries, but I wanted to share it here as well.—Leigh-Anne LoPinto is a visionary of the new paradigm of relationships.

Trying harder might not be working! In this week's episode I present a powerful metaphor for human potential through the story of a fly trapped against a windowpane. How many of us become like that fly, exerting effort in the wrong direction instead of seeking new paths to freedom. I encourage you to recognize your own invisible barriers and explore alternative approaches rather than simply pushing harder. Ultimately, today's conversation serves as a powerful reminder that our open doors are waiting for us, and the most courageous thing we can do is to stop trying harder and start trying differently.

Sustainable success is not about exhausting ourselves in the pursuit of achievement but rather about enjoying the journey and learning to celebrate challenges along the way.

The importance of recognizing that avoiding certain conversations, skills, or opportunities could prevent us from experiencing tremendous fulfillment.

Madhavan Ramanujam is the world's foremost expert on pricing and monetization strategy. As managing partner at Simon-Kucher, he helped over 250 companies, including 30 unicorns, architect their pricing strategies. He's the author of the definitive book on pricing, Monetizing Innovation. Now he's back with a sequel, Scaling Innovation, which reveals how to build enduring businesses by dominating both market share and wallet share. He recently left Simon-Kucher to launch his own fund, 49 Palms, focused on helping early-stage AI companies.In this conversation, we discuss:1. The 2x2 framework that identifies your optimal pricing model2. Why AI companies can capture 25% to 50% of value created, vs. 10% to 20% for traditional SaaS products3. Why popular AI coding tools may have already doomed themselves with underpricing4. The “give-and-get” framework top negotiators use to extract maximum value from every deal5. The negotiation strategy that helped one founder 4x their deal size overnight6. How to frame POCs as “business case creation” instead of technical demos (and why this changes everything)7. Why AI companies must get monetization right from day one—not “figure it out later”8. How companies like Intercom's Fin and Sierra pioneered outcome-based pricing (charging $0.99 per AI resolution)9.

Many of us have experienced moments where we feel empty or unseen, despite doing everything we think is right. In this enlightening episode, we uncover the sneaky little thief that lives within us, SELF BETRAYAL and how it manifests in our lives. Self-betrayal often arises from societal pressures and expectations. We may find ourselves conforming to what others want us to be, silencing our true selves in the process. This behavior can lead to significant costs, including loss of sleep, creativity, and even our voices. The more we betray ourselves, the more we forget what we truly desire, leading us to question, “Whose life is this?” It's time to break free from self-betrayal and embrace the joy that is rightfully yours.
