What if the history you were taught is a carefully edited lie?In this episode, I sit down with Guy Andersen—researcher, author, and former Freemason—to talk about erased civilizations, forbidden technology, and the unsettling possibility that we're living through yet another global reset.Born into a household steeped in Egyptian history, Freemasonry, and the ideas of Stephen Hawking, Guy's curiosity about hidden knowledge started early. At 35, he joined the Freemasons at the Grand Lodge of the United Kingdom in London, only to discover what he describes as corruption, gatekeeping, and the myth of “sacred knowledge” promised to initiates.From there, the rabbit holes got deeper.We explore:The Tartarian Empire and why its existence may have been wiped from mainstream historyAtlantis and ancient advanced civilizationsFree energy, Nikola Tesla, and possible reverse-engineered technologyRepopulation programs after historical resetsCloning, from the Anunnaki to modern timesWhy physics, mathematics, geography—and even timelines—may be fundamentally wrongThe idea that history doesn't just repeat… it resetsGuy also shares insights from his latest book, Rise of the Clones: The Cabbage Patch Babies, a deep dive into human cloning, post-reset population strategies, and the disturbing parallels between ancient myths and modern science.Whether you think this is conspiracy, suppressed truth, or somewhere uncomfortably in between—this conversation will challenge what you think you know about our past, our present, and what might be coming next.Fair warning: once you hear this, it's hard to unsee it.

What happens when you take an off-the-track Thoroughbred (OTTB) into the hunter ring and stop treating it like an “alternate” to a warmblood? In this episode of OTTB on Tap, Niamh flies solo for our first truly hunter/jumper-focused OTTB episode with Pennsylvania pro Madison Barnett of MB Equine (USEA event rider + hunter/jumper trainer) and standout junior rider Caden Nolt.Madison breaks down why Thoroughbreds became the backbone of her program, what retraining her first OTTB taught her about horsemanship, and why OTTBs often “expect” riders to show up like professionals. We talk cross-training hunters with eventing (conditioning, bravery, brain engagement), why some Thoroughbreds thrive when the work stays interesting, and how that forward-thinking approach can create a more rideable, competitive hunter.Caden shares what it's like producing a Thoroughbred in the hunters as a junior—including riding Geo Lemon, his one-eyed Thoroughbred gelding, and navigating the (very real) bias against a one-eyed horse in hunter derbies. He also explains how eventing experience (including riding with William Fox-Pitt) has influenced his hunter style—especially when the fences get bigger, the turns get tighter, and the questions get scarier.We also dig into the big-picture conversation: if we want OTTBs to be taken seriously in the performance hunter divisions, riders have to actually put them in the ring against warmbloods—and have them prepared to win. Madison and Caden share practical advice on starting OTTBs over fences, confirming lead changes (without over-schooling), and what they look for in a Thoroughbred prospect for hunters.In this episode, you'll hear about:OTTB retraining for hunters: what matters most early (and what doesn't)Why Thoroughbreds can make riders better: faster thinking, full-picture horsemanshipCross-training hunters with eventing: conditioning, boldness, and keeping brains freshOne-eyed horse in the hunter ring: rules, perceptions, and how Geo Lemon proves people wrongThe mindset shift: moving from Thoroughbred-only divisions to performance divisionsCaden's goals for Junior Hunter Finals + bringing along a new OTTB prospectIf you're Googling things like “best OTTB for hunters,” “how to retrain an off-track Thoroughbred for hunter/jumper,” “OTTB lead changes,” “Thoroughbred hunter derby training,” or “can a one-eyed horse compete in hunters,” this conversation is for you.

This episode is the latest in our monthly PM Talks series, where Patrick Rhone and I step back from tactics and tools to explore the deeper questions that shape how we live, work, and show up. What we planned to discuss was poise—but what we actually talked about was something more urgent.Recorded in real time as events were unfolding in Minneapolis and St. Paul, this conversation became about moral clarity, civic responsibility, and what it means to stay aligned when neutrality no longer feels like an option. This isn't a polished debate or a tidy argument. It's a candid conversation about right versus wrong—and why that distinction matters now.Six Discussion PointsWhy this conversation couldn't follow the plan—and why that matteredThe difference between poise as composure and poise as alignmentWhy this moment isn't about left versus right, but right versus wrongThe danger of performative belief and the erosion of truthHow lived experience carries weight even when it isn't “linkable”What it means to keep living your life responsibly in a fractured momentThree Connection PointsRequiem for the American Dream (documentary)Willhoit's Law (on power and the application of law)PM Talks series archiveI'm grateful Patrick was willing to have this conversation when he did, and I'm grateful to you for listening. This episode isn't meant to inflame or persuade—it's meant to bear witness. Sometimes that's the most productive thing we can do.

Why Understanding Drives PerformanceThis week on Hospitality Meets, Phil is joined by Will Fraser, co-founder of Pineapple, founder of 100 & First, and former professional rugby player.What begins as a conversation about people data quickly becomes something deeper, a clear eyed look at why teams struggle, why talent alone isn't enough, and why most performance problems come down to misunderstanding, not ability.This is a calm, thoughtful episode about clarity, context, and why better conversations beat better strategies.In This EpisodeWhy performance is a by-product, not something you can forceThe difference between thinking you know something and actually knowing itWhy misunderstanding (not laziness) drives most workplace issuesWhat elite sport gets right about teams that business often gets wrongThe hidden cost of constant change and short term thinkingWhy stability can be a genuine competitive advantageHow people data should start conversations, not end themFrom Elite Sport to HospitalityWill's thinking was shaped during his time at Saracens, where a strong focus on people and culture transformed performance under pressure.After injury ended his playing career, Will began applying those lessons in business, and quickly noticed a gap between how elite teams operate and how most organisations try to drive results.The biggest difference?Shared understandingWhat the Data ShowsThrough Pineapple, Will now works with hospitality businesses to understand patterns around:AttritionInternal progressionTeam stabilityOne consistent insight stands out:Greater stability and internal progression = lower turnover.Simple. Powerful. Rarely acted on.The Talent MythWill challenges the idea that great performers can simply be “moved” and expected to thrive.Drawing on examples from football, including Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford, he explains why performance is often owned by the system, not just the individual.Change the context, and performance usually dips.Stand-Out Thoughts“Most performance problems aren't competence problems — they're understanding problems”“If you think something rather than know it, you haven't had the conversation”“Stability, not constant change, is often the real advantage”Why ListenThis episode is for anyone who has:

If you've been feeling like something is off - but the idea of a full rebrand feels overwhelming or panic-inducing - this conversation will help you reframe what's actually going on.I chat about why brand misalignment is often a sign of growth (not failure), and how small, intentional recalibrations can bring your brand back into alignment with who you are now, without losing trust, momentum, or yourself in the process.In this episode, we explore:Why feeling 'off' in your brand doesn't mean anything has gone wrongThe difference between brand reinvention and brand evolutionHow brands naturally fall out of alignment as you grow and changeThe three key areas to look at when evolving your brandHow to recalibrate your brand without confusing your audience or starting overDOWNLOAD the free workbook to accompany this episode.

If nervous system tools help… why do you keep needing them?Why does regulation feel temporary? Why do you calm down — only to feel activated again a few hours later? Why does it feel like you're constantly managing your nervous system just to get through the day?This episode answers that question clearly and compassionately.Because tools don't change your baseline. Capacity does.In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between regulating in the moment and expanding your nervous system's capacity, why high-achieving women often feel like regulation never “sticks,” and what's actually required to widen your window of tolerance over time.In this episode, you'll learn:Why needing frequent regulation tools doesn't mean you're doing anything wrongThe difference between momentary regulation and long-term capacity expansionHow allostatic load quietly narrows your window of toleranceWhy insight and self-awareness alone don't change nervous system patternsHow productivity and busyness can function as stress coping strategiesWhat foundational habits actually build capacity instead of just managing symptomsThis episode is for you if you're highly self-aware, using nervous system tools regularly, and still feel like stress comes back faster than you'd like.If you're tired of constantly managing your nervous system and want to understand how to change your baseline — not just calm yourself down — this conversation will help you see what's missing, and what actually moves the work forward.-- → Learn more and join Burnout Recovery Blueprint

High performance leaders often feel guilty when they slow down, rest, or delegate. If decision fatigue, role pressure, or success without fulfillment resonates, this episode reframes guilt as conditioning — and opens a path to identity-level relief.Many high-capacity humans describe what they feel as guilt — especially when they slow down, rest, delegate, or step back from constant responsibility. But what if that word isn't telling the truth?In this episode of The Recalibration with Julie Holly, we explore why high performers experience guilt even when nothing is morally wrong — and why that feeling is often a conditioned nervous system response rather than a failure of character.If you're navigating burnout recovery, decision fatigue, role confusion, or the quiet ache of success without fulfillment, this conversation offers language, relief, and compassion. We unpack how early belonging patterns, family-of-origin dynamics, and performance-based attachment can wire the brain to equate contribution with connection — and why slowing down can feel risky even when it's wise.This episode gently challenges the cultural and spiritual misuse of guilt, clarifying that what many leaders call “guilt” is often the body responding to unfamiliar safety. That distinction matters — because language shapes identity, and identity shapes behavior.This episode is especially supportive for high-capacity humans in career transition or life transition who sense that the role they're in no longer reflects who they're becoming — yet don't want to burn everything down to find relief.In this episode, we explore:Why guilt isn't a moral signal — it's often a relational oneHow decision fatigue and over-responsibility impact belongingWhy slowing down can feel unsafe even when nothing is wrongThe difference between guilt, conditioning, and identity driftHow presence replaces pressure as a steadier internal guideToday's Micro RecalibrationWhen guilt shows up, pause and ask:What is my body afraid will happen if I don't carry this? Then gently offer:What's actually true right now?No forcing. No convincing. Just orientation.Team reflection: Where might worth be quietly equated with constant output — and what would shift if rest and clarity were modeled as leadership strengths?Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

What happens when the franchise you built, the one that looked wildly successful from the outside, starts quietly falling apart behind the scenes?In this powerful conversation, entrepreneur and author Ciara Stockeland shares the unfiltered truth about the rise and unraveling of her retail franchise brand, including the moment she sensed something was wrong long before anyone else did. From early wins and national recognition to a full-blown franchise mutiny, lawsuits, overwhelming debt, and ultimately bankruptcy, Ciara takes us inside the emotional and financial reality that most founders never talk about. Her transparency about identity, pressure, intuition, and accountability is rare and deeply needed in franchising today.Ciara also reveals the turning point that helped her rebuild a profitable business from day one, why paying yourself is non-negotiable, and how understanding your numbers will save you from the traps that take down so many emerging brands. Whether you're franchising today or still deciding if you should, this episode is a masterclass in avoiding the biggest (and most expensive) mistakes founders make.Ciara Stockland is a third-generation entrepreneur, profit strategist, speaker, and author of The Inventory Genius and Profit Genius. After franchising her first retail brand and later building and selling a first-to-market wholesale subscription box in just 18 months, she now coaches inventory-based business owners nationwide.

In this powerful episode, Larry and I go back to the week in December 1998 that changed our lives forever. What started as a routine appointment just before the holidays quickly became a devastating spiral of tests, unanswered questions, and the phone call that revealed I had stage 4 metastatic breast cancer at only 26 years old.We share:The moment my doctor noticed something was wrongThe shock of hearing “It's cancer” days before ChristmasThe traumatic appointment where I was told to get my affairs in orderHow a second oncologist offered hope and completely changed my prognosisWhat those early days of fear, uncertainty, and survival really felt likeHow this diagnosis became the foundation for the life and mission I have todayIf you're navigating a new cancer diagnosis, living with metastatic breast cancer, or supporting someone who is, this honest conversation is for you. This is the story I wish I could have heard back then — a story about fear, resilience, terrible doctors, life-saving doctors, and the spark of hope that carried me forward.27 years later, I'm still here. And I want you to know that hope is real.

In this episode, we crack open the ADK Talks mailbag — and you did not hold back. From the mysteries of the blue line to the origins of the word Adirondack, from Great Camps you can actually stay in to the surprisingly wholesome truth about nudists in the Adirondacks… you kept us laughing, thinking, and occasionally Googling just to make sure we weren't making things up.We share the questions that made us stop mid-sentence, the ones that sent us down rabbit holes through history, and the ones that reminded us why we love this wild, weird, wonderful park. Somewhere along the way, we talk about road signs that don't quite know where they are, a Westport chair that became a global icon, and a stream named after an abandoned pair of BVDs. (If that isn't peak Adirondack, we don't know what is.)It's curious, quirky, and just plain fun.

Together, they uncover the shocking realities of America's addiction treatment industry—where compassion and healing sometimes collide with corruption, exploitation, and profit.Shoshana shares the powerful stories behind her groundbreaking reporting for The Marshall Project and Reveal, which exposed how some court-ordered rehab programs forced people struggling with addiction into unpaid labor—working in factories, warehouses, and even processing plants under the guise of “treatment.” Her work sheds light on the systemic failures in the U.S. recovery landscape and the human cost of unregulated programs that prey on the most vulnerable.Shelby and Shoshana explore:How the opioid epidemic reshaped America's rehab industry—and where it went wrongThe dark history of “tough love” recovery programs rooted in Synanon and behavioral modificationWhy unregulated and for-profit treatment centers continue to thrive todayThe legal and ethical gray zones surrounding work-based rehab programsThe critical role of “recovery capital”—the internal and external supports that make lasting sobriety possibleThe devastating gap in treatment options for mothers and families, and what real reform could look likeThis conversation is a must-listen for anyone in recovery, professionals in the mental health and addiction fields, and families seeking treatment for a loved one. It's a raw, informed, and deeply compassionate discussion about what's broken—and what hope still exists for creating an addiction recovery system that truly heals.

Alexia Michitti was born without her right hand — and for most of her childhood, she hid it behind her back, terrified of the stares and the bullying that came with being different. When she was cut from her middle-school basketball team because of her hand, something in her shifted. Instead of giving up, she turned to soccer — and that choice changed everything.Years later, Alexia became the best one-handed goalkeeper in the world, winning the Golden Glove at the Women's Amputee Soccer World Cup. But her story isn't just about sports — it's about learning to stop hiding, to embrace who you are, and to create opportunities for others to do the same.In this episode, Alexia opens up about:Being told she couldn't make the team — and proving everyone wrongThe loneliness and resilience that shaped her childhoodCompeting on the world stage as part of Team USAFounding EM13RACE, her adaptive clothing brand for people with limb differencesLearning that strength isn't about perfection, but visibilityThis is a story about courage, reinvention, and the quiet power of showing up exactly as you are.EarthMonster is the storytelling podcast that celebrates vulnerability and explores the messy, beautiful journey of being human.

What happens when the discipline that's supposed to set you free becomes the very prison that traps you? In this powerfully vulnerable Wednesday Real Stories episode, Heather shares her brutally honest journey from being the self-proclaimed "queen of content challenges" to discovering the life-changing difference between churn and flow. Through visceral storytelling—from needing matchsticks to keep her eyes open at 11:30pm to posting on Christmas Day as her "alternative to the Queen's speech"—she reveals how blind adherence to productivity culture nearly destroyed her love for the work she was meant to do. This isn't just about content creation; it's about recognising when your discipline has become self-punishment and choosing authentic alignment over arbitrary metrics.What's Inside:Heather's confession as the "queen of content challenges" who completed every marathon while others "dropped like flies"The breaking point: 11:30pm, day 73, exhausted from caring for parents, puppy destroying shoes, forcing another post by lamplightHer desperate plea to the challenge organiser for just one pass (denied with cheerful "whoop whoop!")The paradox: writing from "some unearthly plane" in complete exhaustion and creating her most popular post everThe cruel irony of being the only one to finish 100 days yet getting the worst resultsChristmas Day posting as "alternative to the Queen's speech" and other signs discipline had gone wrongThe brutal realisation: each post got 15 seconds of exposure before dying to the algorithm despite all that grindingTwo types of discipline: prison vs. freedom, churn vs. flowThe transformational moment when she chose alignment over grinding and everything changedThe Uncomfortable Truth:Sometimes we get so addicted to being "disciplined" that we never pause to ask if what we're doing is actually working. We confuse motion with progress, activity with effectiveness—we're too busy grinding to be smart about our strategy or authentic in our approach.Three Life-Changing Lessons:The Prison of Arbitrary Metrics: When discipline becomes about hitting numbers rather than serving purpose, it stops being discipline and starts being self-punishmentThe Addiction to Busy: We optimize for the wrong things—quantity over quality, consistency over authenticity, grinding over strategyThe Discipline That Actually Works: True discipline is getting yourself right first—your energy, intention, and genuine desire to serve—so when you show up, people can feel itThe Game-Changing Realisation:"I'd been so busy churning out content that I had no time to market it properly, no time to create proper strategy, no time to build systems that would actually work. That's when I learned the difference between churn and flow."This Week's Liberation Practice:Examine one area where your "discipline" might have become prison. Where are you grinding through something that isn't working just because you think you "should"? Ask yourself: Am I optimizing for the right metrics? What would happen if I stopped churning and started flowing?Perfect For:Content creators trapped in daily posting obligationsEntrepreneurs exhausted by productivity culture demandsAnyone who's forced themselves to "show up" with nothing authentic to givePeople addicted to being busy but not seeing proportional resultsThose ready to choose alignment over grindingAnyone needing permission to stop optimising for the wrong metricsMemorable Moments That Will Stick:"Could have done with matchsticks to keep my eyes open""Words flowing from some...
