Podcasts about Zan

Zan Tyler and Caleb Price talk about trading comparison for gratitude, celebrate a town that rallied behind a homeschool graduate, and share why homeschooling opens doors for our kids. Plus, Zan brings encouraging news from her travels: the homeschool movement is alive, growing, and thriving. Is a clean house the key to a peaceful home? Zan Tyler and Caleb Price start with a viral reel that sparked hundreds of comments and talk about why gratitude, not comparison, is the secret to a joyful homeschool. (Zan also shares the funny story of being named South Carolina's Homemaker of the Year and her sister's unforgettable response.) Then they celebrate some encouraging news: a Homeschool Law Enforcement Day in Reno that drew more than 500 families, and a Nebraska town that rallied behind a young homeschool graduate and volunteer firefighter so he could pursue his calling. Zan explains how parents can advocate for their high schoolers, why homeschool graduates are thriving in college, the military, and beyond, and where to turn for help if a barrier ever appears. Finally, Zan shares highlights from her recent travels with Joe, from Oregon to the Reagan Presidential Library to national leadership conferences in Orlando, and why she believes the homeschool movement is alive, growing, and truly a "love your kids" movement.

What if your cat could tell you exactly what they're thinking? This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes animal communicator Zan Ottaway, whose approach combines intuitive communication with an understanding of animal behavior. Zan explains how she connects with cats, why she believes anyone can become more receptive to what their pets are communicating, and why cats aren't being spiteful when they act out—they may instead be expressing insecurity, excitement or stress. Michelle even puts Zan's ideas to the test with her own misunderstood cat, Charlotte, as they explore one of the most frustrating feline problems of all: litter box issues. The conversation also takes a touching turn as Zan discusses how cats grieve, communicating with pets who have passed, the guilt many pet parents experience after losing a beloved animal, and her work helping rescue animals. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic or simply wish your cat came with a translator, this episode may have you looking—and listening—to your feline companion in an entirely new way.EPISODE NOTES: Your Cat Is Talking—Are You Listening?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.

Lainey Wilson is a force of nature.Raised in the tiny farming town of Baskin, Louisiana (population 170) she grew up between corn fields and country radio, where music wasn't a genre but a way of life. From writing her first song at nine years old to hauling a camper trailer to Nashville at 19, her path to becoming one of country music's biggest stars was anything but overnight. It took a decade of hustle, a Hannah Montana wig, and an unshakable belief that if she could just get one opportunity, she could do the rest.Now she's selling out arenas across the world, winning back-to-back CMA Entertainer of the Year awards, starring in Yellowstone, and counting Dolly Parton as a friend who called her "sister." Through it all, her southern charm and small-town values remain her compass; ride horses, sit on the front porch with your dogs, and never forget who you are.This episode was filmed for Season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe. Lainey was warm, funny, and generous in sharing her extraordinary journey across five songs. The theme that emerged was clear: staying grounded is a choice you make every day, and being yourself is the bravest thing you can do.Lainey Wilson's song choices: Mel McDaniel - 'Louisiana Saturday Night'Lee Ann Womack - 'I Hope You Dance'CCR - 'Lookin' Out My Back Door'Brothers Osborne - 'I'm Not For Everyone'Tim McGraw - 'Humble and Kind'00:00 Introduction: "If Dolly Parton Believes in Me, Then I'm Fine"00:24 From Yellowstone to CMA Entertainer of the Year: "Cowgirl of the Night"00:52 "If You Tell All Your Business, You Ain't Got None": Lainey's Daddy's Wisdom01:06 Filming Take 5: Songs That Keep Her Grounded01:26 Growing Up in Baskin: Music as a Lifeline to the Outside World01:48 "I Wanna Make People Feel That Way": The Power of a Three-and-a-Half Minute Song01:55 Where Did Your Passion Come From?

Family physician, homeschool dad of nine, and author Dr. Robert Jackson joins Zan to share how homeschooling shaped a close-knit family across generations. From meeting his wife Carlotta to raising two sons with special needs, Robert reflects on calling, sacrifice, and the enduring power of a biblical worldview passed down through the home. He also opens up about writing a book to preserve his own father's story for his children and grandchildren, and why he believes homeschooling gave his family a sense of home they never outgrew.   SHOW NOTES https://zantyler.com/podcast/216-robert-jackson   LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE Join Zan Tyler and a special guest each week for real encouragement, engaging stories, and practical wisdom for surviving and thriving on the homeschool journey.

Join Sandra for a gentle conversation with animal communicator Zan Ottaway about the spiritual bonds we share with our pets, the benefits of daily meditation, and why the final stage of grief isn't "acceptance," but rather "continuing bonds." In this comforting episode, Sandra and Zan step away from hard afterlife evidence to have a lighthearted, open discussion about our furry companions. Zan shares her personal journey from being a professional musician to exploring the unseen world. Together, they discuss simple ways to lower the stress temperature in a busy household, the importance of sending love and asking permission when trying to connect with your pets, and how to gently navigate the loss of a beloved animal. Zan also shares her heartfelt mission to support the Dakin Humane Society and rescue animals in need.

Jacinda Ardern is a history-maker.As Prime Minister of New Zealand at 37, she became only the second woman in the world to give birth while in office. But it was her leadership style that defined her time at the top, leading with empathy and kindness in the face of back-to-back tragedies, and showing the strength of coming together.From growing up in small-town New Zealand singing country and western duets with her sister at the local community hall, to raging to Smashing Pumpkins in her first car with a discman plugged into the cassette deck, Ardern's musical taste has always been eclectic and deeply personal. She's the teenager who loved alternative music and heavy metal while being a dedicated student rep raised in the Mormon faith, and the world leader who chose a drum and bass track as her walk-on song.Her career path was never straightforward. She ran from the possibility of becoming a politician, buying a one-way ticket to New York to escape the suggestion she should run for office. But a sense of responsibility (what she calls her "oversized sense of duty"), kept pulling her back. In 2017, everything changed in a single year: a by-election, deputy leadership, then the top job itself, all while secretly pregnant. She led her country through the Christchurch mosque shootings, the Whakaari White Island eruption, and a global pandemic, all while insisting that being human is not a weakness.This episode was filmed for Season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe at the Australian Chamber Orchestra's studios on Sydney Harbour. Jacinda caught the ferry to the location, rolling up without any entourage, proving just how down-to-earth she is. She was candid, emotional, and generous in exploring her extraordinary life across five songs. The theme that emerged was clear: optimism as a courageous act, and the enduring power of being useful.Jacinda Ardern's song choices: Smashing Pumpkins - 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings'Fat Freddy's Drop - 'Wandering Eye'Cat Stevens - 'Peace Train'The Mountain Goats - 'This Year'Shapeshifter - 'Stars'00:00 Introduction: Jacinda Ardern Made History00:54 "They Are Us": Leading with Empathy and Kindness01:04 Filming Take 5 with a Former PM01:56 Extended Podcast Edit: The Most Eclectic Song List of the Season02:02 Childhood in Rural New Zealand: The Record Player at Home02:26 Roy Orbison, ABBA, and Parents' "Slightly Different Era" Taste03:02 The Country and Western Club: Every Friday Night at the Community Hall03:26 Singing Duets with Sister Louise: "She's the One Holding the Microphone"04:03 "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" and the Christmas Special04:58 Sister's Pop vs. Her Alternative: Cypress Hill, Rage Against the Machine05:11 Smashing Pumpkins: 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings'05:53 Growing Up in Morrinsville: Dairy Farms and $20 a Week at the Fish and Chip Shop06:02 The Discman in the Car: Cassette Adapters and Judder Bars06:39 The Multi-Change CD Player: "The Most Exciting Thing"07:02 The Walkman and Sister Louise: "I've Never Gotten Over It"07:44 Playing Every CD to Death: "You Valued Every One"08:01 Teenage Angst: Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, Pantera, Nine Inch Nails08:21 Smashing Pumpkins: "Both the Lyrics That Spoke to Teenage Angst and Great Music"08:52 Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness: A Double Album for the Multi-CD Player09:15 "Despite All My Rage, I'm Still Just a Rat in a Cage"09:29 An Earnest Teenager: Raised in Religion, Student Rep, Working Hard10:13 Not a Headbanger: "My Mother Would've Taken Me to a Chiropractor"10:44 Parents Respected Their Own Musical Taste and Belief Systems11:26 Born in Hamilton, Then Murupara: First Observations of Poverty and Inequality12:00 "A Place That Made Me Quite Political"12:29 Writing the Book: How Do You End Up in Politics?12:48 "All of It Contributes to How You Come to Be the Person You Are"13:15 The Kinship Between Australia and New Zealand13:44 Empathy and Awareness: Seeing What Affects People14:17 Father the Policeman: "Power as a Responsibility"14:40 "Being Useful Is a Driving Force"15:04 Fat Freddy's Drop: 'Wandering Eye'15:13 Moving to Wellington in the Early 2000s15:46 Sworn In as PM: Fat Freddy's Drop Playing on Parliament Steps16:08 Carpooling on a Bus Instead of Crown Cars16:33 "Sitting at the Base of the Steps, Just Playing for Us"17:00 A Full Circle Moment: Unexpected PM, Secretly Pregnant18:29 First Job in Parliament: Interning in Wellington18:57 "I Couldn't Possibly Be a Politician"19:36 People Identifying the Leader in Her Before She Did20:22 The Beehive: Flatting and a Normal Life in Her 20s21:06 Still a Practicing Mormon in Her Early 20s21:25 Cognitive Dissonance: Progressive Politics and the Church21:50 Campaigning for Equality on Saturday, Church on Sunday22:02 Leaving the Church: "Something Had to Give"23:08 Running from Politics: A One-Way Ticket to New York23:36 London, Then Coming Back to New Zealand23:55 "Two Dueling Wolves": Imposter Syndrome vs. Responsibility24:18 Putting Herself Forward: "Turns Out I Was Wrong"24:42 2017: Everything Happened in One Year24:47 By-Election, Deputy Leader, Then Leader Nominated25:28 Waiting for Winston Peters: Finding Out on the 6pm News25:39 Secretly Pregnant During Coalition Negotiations27:27 Malcolm Turnbull Calling to Congratulate27:49 Cat Stevens: 'Peace Train'28:11 Mrs. Bean's Class: Bursting Into Tears as a Child28:55 Yusuf Islam Coming to New Zealand After the March 15 Terror Attack29:30 Peace Train at the Memorial Service: "A Song of Hope in Hard Times"30:00 Feeling the Same Way as a Child and as an Adult31:18 Has Hope Always Led You Through Your Life?31:35 Ernest Shackleton: "Optimism Is True Moral Courage"32:10 Actively Choosing to Be an Optimistic Person33:13 The Christchurch Mosque Shootings: Finding Out in Bits34:01 Frustration and Anger: "A Manifesto of Hate"34:47 "Simply a Human Response": Why Emotion Isn't Weakness35:56 Learning from the Muslim Community: "They Opened Their Arms"37:25 "A Sadness I'll Carry for the Rest of My Life"37:42 Processing Grief: "I'll Never Set That Down"38:21 The Mountain Goats: 'This Year'38:39 The Song of the Year Tradition39:18 "I Am Gonna Make It Through This Year If It Kills Me"40:09 Keeping the Faith in Opposition: Purpose and Team Cohesion41:19 Christchurch, Whakaari, COVID: "It Was Relentless"42:52 Car Time Was Solo Time: Losing That as Prime Minister44:04 Elton John's "Still Standing" and the Earthquake on Live TV44:56 "The Universe Has to Let Up at Some Point"45:02 Knowing It Was Time to Go45:43 "Nothing Left in the Tank"46:03 Not "Spending More Time With Family": The Language of Leaving46:54 "I Am Human.

What can happen when homeschool families bring their creativity, skills, and community together? Zan Tyler talks with longtime homeschool dad Jonathan Bartlett about the creativity, freedom, and community that can make homeschooling a rich, rewarding experience. Jonathan has seen what families can create together: programming and calculus classes, homeschool football at AT&T Stadium, award-winning theater, and even a new homeschool film festival. He and Zan also talk about discipleship, homeschool freedom, and why community is worth the effort. Your family doesn't have to homeschool alone.

Wil Addison didn't begin homeschooling as the dad who taught lessons, but over time, he discovered just how much his presence mattered. Zan Tyler talks with this father of seven and co-host of the Culture Proof Podcast about discipleship, fatherhood, the growth of homeschooling in the Black community, and becoming more actively involved in his children's education. Wil shares how simply asking his wife, “What can I do to help?” changed his role at home. Together, he and Zan encourage fathers to be present, seize the moments, and remember that discipleship starts at home.

Zan Tyler and homeschooling mom of six Tauna Meyer talk about loosening your grip on the perfect plan, recognizing what matters most in each season, and giving your children room to grow into who God created them to be. Tauna shares how prayer transformed her approach to homeschooling, while Zan reflects on the freedom families have to adjust when something simply isn't working. You don't have to get everything right. Keep returning to God, your priorities, and the next faithful step.

The Wonder Twins are in Smallville!! We're freaking out over 9x8 “Idol” and the wonderfully absurd decision to bring Zan and Jayna into this universe. Somehow, that's only half the reason we absolutely LOVE this episode, because Lois and Clark are getting seriously steamy. Lois starts putting the pieces together about Clark and the Blur, Clark gets dangerously close to exposing his secret, and the whole thing builds to Lois realizing that no matter how she feels about the Blur, she can't stop thinking about Clark. Then she turns around and gives him THAT KISS. We're talking Wonder Twin powers, Clark becoming a true symbol of hope, Lois nearly discovering everything, and one of our favorite Lois and Clark moments yet. Smallville “Idol” is ridiculous, romantic, and exactly our kind of episode.Support the show: https://patreon.com/hopefullyawesomeBecome a Member on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHRvjz_pKP1Th5Y8ZIwFMtQ/joinCheck out our Merch! - https://hopefullyawesome.creator-spring.com/This video is NOT sponsored.

What can four years of meaningful homeschool conversations mean for the families listening along the way? As the Zan Tyler Podcast celebrates its fourth anniversary, Zan looks back on some of the voices and moments that have encouraged parents to keep going, trust God, and remember the extraordinary influence they have in their children's lives. Guests including Kirk Cameron, Heidi St. John, Todd Wilson, Ginny Yurich, Mike Farris, Meeke Addison, and others have shared wisdom about building a biblical worldview, finding joy in difficult seasons, embracing the freedom and flexibility of homeschooling, and trusting God with each child's unique path. Again and again, these conversations remind us of the lasting impact of homeschooling. Parents are shaping hearts and minds, building strong relationships, discipling their children, and persevering through both the hard days and the joyful ones.

Zan Rowe joins Ricki and Tim to chat about the new season of Take 5, including what it's like getting huge stars like Sir Paul McCartney and Shania Twain to open up about the five songs that shaped their lives. Then things get competitive when Zan takes on Ricki in a game of Sing!, with songs from artists she's interviewed, including Missy Higgins, Paul McCartney, Lorde and the Spice Girls. Ricki also takes the opportunity to finally apologise to Zan for drunkenly screaming along to Coldplay at a concert, before revealing she later vomited in her husband's hat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zan Tyler and veteran homeschool mom Beth Martin get practical about shaping the high school years around your child's strengths, interests, and future goals. They talk co-ops, creative electives, transcripts, college planning, and the many paths available after graduation.

Does homeschooling in high school feel like a leap you're not ready to take? Zan Tyler and veteran homeschool mom Beth Martin talk through the doubts parents often carry into the high school years and show how much possibility lies beyond them. Beth shares what she learned homeschooling her three children and guiding hundreds of families through high school, including one surprising truth: colleges are actively recruiting homeschool students. Zan recalls how flexibility allowed her son to move into high school coursework early, opening doors to missions, leadership, and deeper faith.

Send us Fan MailMost messages aimed at young men today split into two dead ends: become a sensitive, apologetic non-threat, or go to war and reclaim dominance. Zan thinks both camps hold a fragment of truth and neither offers a boy anything to actually hope for — which is why, more and more, he finds himself wanting to talk to thirteen-to-eighteen-year-olds instead of grown men.In this episode, Jordan asks Zan directly: what's the message? What do you actually say to a generation of boys who've been told their masculinity is the problem, who are retreating to their rooms, whose only two options seem to be surrender or rage?Zan's answer moves through some of the widest philosophical territory this podcast has covered — the concept of worship, stripped from religion and rebuilt around beauty itself. Petrarch and Dante, both of whom had their entire life's work ignited by seeing a woman he barely knew. The 1,500-year-old volcanic winter that blacked out the sun across Europe, and how people found meaning through it anyway. The uniculture problem — why knowing about every disaster on Earth simultaneously might be worse for the human nervous system than knowing only what happened in your own village. And a genuinely moving true story: a twelve-year-old boy, a short walk to a candy store, and one sentence from Zan that a mother said changed her son for weeks afterward.Watch until the end for what Zan calls the real message underneath everything — not optimism, not denial, but gratitude for what you have precisely because it won't last.

Send us Fan MailMost men have been trained to see the “male gaze” as something to apologize for — a coarse, objectifying reflex to suppress or perform your way out of. Either you're the bro who can't see past a woman's body, or you're the guy in the loafers and matcha latte performing a “female gaze” so hard it becomes its own kind of costume.In this episode, Jordan revisits a line from The Alabaster Girl that's followed him for thirteen years — women have a beauty song — and asks Zan whether it still holds. What follows is one of the most philosophically dense conversations on the podcast: gratitude as the lens that transforms looking into witnessing, the difference between a woman posed as a nude and a woman caught naked and unguarded, and why Zan refuses to be embarrassed about the fact that his eyes are drawn to the female form.They get into the man in the coffee shop who watches a woman order her latte and lets her walk out the door without chasing her — and why Zan calls that moment “code complete.” The phrase Zan wrote in his new book: a woman's walk is the oldest promise in the world. Freud's split between exhibitionism and voyeurism, and why every peep show needs a pervert. And Zan's answer to the discourse around male gaze versus female gaze — which he'd never even heard of before Jordan brought it up.Watch until the end for Zan's real-time reinterpretation of John Berger's “nude vs. naked” distinction — and his own bikini-versus-underwear version of it.__________________________________________________Ars Amorata, Summer '26:Text Her — Stan's course on apps and messaging: from swipe right to archetype.

Today on Veritas Vox, we welcome a true homeschooling pioneer: Zan Tyler. Zan's homeschool journey began in 1984 when she was threatened with jail for her choice to home educate. She has spent the past three decades advocating for homeschool freedom, publishing curriculum and resources, and joyfully equipping parents to thrive in their homeschool journey. If you've ever wondered about the real-world struggles that took place so that your family can enjoy the freedom to homeschool, this episode is for you! Zan Tyler's experiences are a testament to the importance of never taking our freedoms for granted.If you enjoy this episode, you may also enjoy Zan Tyler's podcast, which can be found at https://zantyler.com/podcast/ 

Send us Fan MailA Guild member sent in a message that stopped this episode cold. A friend of his — married, still in love with his wife — confided that she won't have sex with him anymore. Not even a goodbye kiss. He found out she's been using a vibrator. He can't understand why she won't let him be the one. And the group of friends around him, hearing this, offer the usual advice: book a weekend away, drop the kids at her sister's, get her alone.Jordan and Zan don't offer that advice. Instead, they take the story apart piece by piece — and land somewhere much harder and much more honest than “just try harder.”They get into what it actually means when a woman stops admiring her husband — not respect, something deeper — and why that, once gone, cannot be incremented back with flowers and date nights. The devastating truth that all the desperate gestures a man makes at 3am to save a dying relationship are exactly what he should have been doing all along, when things were good. Why “relationships are work” and “relationships are compromise” are, in Zan's words, bullshit — and what he believes actually holds a marriage together instead. And the brutal timing problem: the moment a man finally feels the fear is usually the exact moment it's already too late to act on it.Watch until the end for what Zan calls his gunslinger coaching — for the men who are in it right now, and need someone to ride in fast and find out if it's still redeemable.

As we are poised to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American freedom, don't miss this riveting discussion of the history of homeschool freedom, and the very real current threats we are now experiencing around the country. At the Homeschool Montana convention, Zan joined fellow homeschool freedom pioneers Mike Farris, Heidi St. John, and Steve White for a candid panel discussion about where we've been, what we almost lost, and what's at stake right now. Zan shares the moment a state superintendent threatened her with jail, the midnight prayer that turned a legislative battle around, and her urgent warning that homeschool freedom is never as secure as it feels. Gain fresh courage to stand firm, show up, and pass this hard-won legacy of freedom to the next generation.   SHOW NOTES https://zantyler.com/podcast/204-zan-tyler   LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE Join Zan Tyler and a special guest each week for real encouragement, engaging stories, and practical wisdom for surviving and thriving on the homeschool journey.

He wonders what's going through her mind, and enlists your help in figuring her out too.What do you say?Do you engage your own anxious brainwaves, and try and decipher her motives? Or do you tackle the real issue on display:Never mind the woman… what's going on with you?I don't believe pondering a woman's motives and feelings is entirely a fool's game. But it's amazing how men get caught in this loop. All day, all month, thinking of her, wondering what to text, how to approach the issue, how to get what you want without losing the little you already have.We all know what happens when we overthink things. Action ends up awkward. Whatever we end up saying or doing, it seems to drive her away.When it comes to drama, pulling away, mixed messages, heightened emotions, many men feel a subtle distress. And it's the distress that drives these endless questions.What if, instead of the week lost chasing her in your mind, you could find tranquility amidst the storm?

How quickly can homeschool freedom disappear? Zan Tyler and Caleb Price examine two headline-making developments in Connecticut and New Hampshire that reveal just how quickly homeschool laws can change. They also discuss why discipleship remains at the heart of homeschooling and the responsibility parents have to steward freedom well. As they reflect on the future of home education, Zan and Caleb highlight why homeschool graduates continue to demonstrate the academic, leadership, and character qualities our culture desperately needs. Freedom is never guaranteed. It must be understood, protected, and passed on to the next generation.   SHOW NOTES https://zantyler.com/podcast/202-caleb-price   LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE Join Zan Tyler and a special guest each week for real encouragement, engaging stories, and practical wisdom for surviving and thriving on the homeschool journey.

Can one simple change transform your homeschool and your family life? For this special 200th episode, Zan welcomes back Ginny Yurich, founder of the global movement 1000 Hours Outside and the very first guest ever featured on the podcast. Together they celebrate five years of conversations while reflecting on lessons they've learned about homeschooling, parenting, and what children need most. From the power of outdoor play and productive boredom to the value of hobbies, movement, and skill-building, Ginny and Zan share why the ordinary moments of homeschooling are often where the real growth happens. They also encourage parents who wonder if they're doing enough and explain why the rewards of homeschooling are often seen only with time.   SHOW NOTES https://zantyler.com/podcast/200-ginny-yurich   LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE Join Zan Tyler and a special guest each week for real encouragement, engaging stories, and practical wisdom for surviving and thriving on the homeschool journey.

Zan runs through a few listener questions before Dave joins the show to offer some parting thoughts on The Shallow End.

Send us Fan MailMost men leave an interaction having done everything right — approached, connected, built rapport for forty-five minutes — and then walked away without ever pulling the trigger. They got the number. They didn't invite. And those are not the same thing.In this episode, Zan and Jordan return to one of the most fundamental and most overlooked principles in the Ars Amorata: the invitation. Not as a technique for scheduling a meeting, but as a spirit — a way of being that tells every woman in your orbit, I would rather have you near me than not.They get into why most men's invitational energy has an invisible ceiling on it: come close, but not too close. The father archetype Zan reaches for when explaining how a man can contain feminine chaos without walling himself off from it. The David Deida debate — whether the male nervous system is inherently stressed by female proximity, or whether that's just a man who hasn't found gratitude yet. And the single sentence that Zan says captures everything: I don't know you at all, but I would love to have you around me.Watch until the end for the practical layer: when to invite, how to invite, and why it doesn't matter at all whether she says yes or no.

What does it cost an artist to tell the truth? Singer-songwriter Zan Fiskum has built her entire creative life around finding out. In this episode, host Stephen Roach sits down with Zan to explore how her most personal songs, about a toxic creative relationship, a fractured friendship, and a complicated bond with her mother, became anthems for strangers carrying the same quiet weight.This is a conversation about the craft behind vulnerability: how to write specifically enough to be honest, and broadly enough to let the listener find themselves inside your story. If you've ever wondered whether your most painful experiences are worth putting into a song, this episode answers that question with a resounding yes.Key TakeawaysThe particular is the universal. Writing from your most specific, personal experience doesn't isolate your audience; it invites them in. The goal is to leave enough space in the lyric for listeners to find their own story.Vulnerability on stage is a form of service. Sharing something raw and real can give your audience permission to feel things they didn't think they were allowed to feel, and sometimes, to take action they've been avoiding for years.Faith doesn't require religious language. Drawing on C.S. Lewis, Zan articulates a conviction shared by many artists of faith: we don't need more Christian people making Christian art. We need Christians making art, beautiful, honest, human art.Your constraints can become your creative fuel. Whether it's a commission, a theme, or a question crowdsourced from strangers on the internet, working within limits can push you toward material you'd never find on your own.Resources MentionedZan Fiskum's album — Forbidden Art (available on all major streaming platforms) Makers and Mystics — "The Gift of the Elders" episode — A previous episode featuring Petrobas from New Zealand on how indigenous cultures honor their eldersZan's social media:Instagram: @zanfiskumSend us Fan MailSupport the showJOIN US FOR BOOK CLUB!

Send us Fan MailMost men arrive at a retreat, a workshop, or a pilgrimage to the mentor with the same silent demand underneath everything else: make it click. They've read the books, done the programs, sat through the silent retreats. They're well-theorized. Now they want it to land — permanently, finally, done.In this episode, recorded the Friday before Zan's ten-day training week in Bucharest, Zan and Jordan pull apart what the click actually is, whether it's even possible to engineer it, and what to do in the long dark stretches when nothing clicks at all.They get into the man who travels across the world for ten days hoping something will permanently shift — and why the pressure of that hope is exactly what blocks it. Jordan's 19-year-old diary, rediscovered in a childhood bedroom: three months backpacking Southeast Asia, parties until sunrise, pages of email addresses from strangers across the world — and a pervasive feeling throughout all of it that he was lonely and missing out. The spiral of workshop-after-workshop that kicks in when nothing clicks and a man decides he must be broken. And Zan's answer to the question everyone asks him: when did you finally get it? I never did. I'm still trying.Watch until the end for Jordan's biggest click — the one that freed him from second-guessing every interaction — and the homework Zan and Jordan leave you with.

Field of Miracles by Lauren Mooney and Stewart Pringle The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough arrive in the quaint village of Heatherington in 1951. But something strange is happening. In an England of post-war austerity, Heatherington is thriving - the shops are full of produce and everyone seems to have everything they've ever wanted, even if what they've wanted is the dead to return to them. The Doctor and his friends must stop the creeping invasion of the Asteri, wish-granting crystalline organisms of awesome destructive power, before they extract a terrible price from the villagers. Helter Skelter by James Moran When a bio-engineered planet and amusement park undergoes a critical malfunction, the entire planet tears itself apart - and the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough are thrown back to their arrival, trapped in a repeating time loop. But for some reason, only Tegan can see the loop, not the Doctor - it has been hidden from him somehow. So why can Tegan see it, and how is she going to fix it? Land of Fools by Lauren Mooney and Stewart Pringle The TARDIS arrives in London, 1980, but something has gone wrong with the timeline. The city is a quasi-police state, overseen by a mysterious new company, Luqos, which promises miraculous gifts to its followers. As Tegan takes off to reconnect with an old friend, and the Doctor teams up with young activist Zan, Turlough is pulled into the heart of Luqos by the shadowy 'M', where they discover an old enemy at work beneath the city. Please note: the collector's edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,500 copies Recorded on: 15-17 October 2025 Recorded at: The Soundhouse and The Video Factory, New Zealand Producer Sonny McGann said: "Turlough, Tegan and the Doctor are back! We're returning to Earth, where a new threat has emerged wielding immense psionic power. In an England suffering from post-war austerity, one village appears to have everything they've ever wanted. Some will pay any price to see a wish fulfilled - a choice which may ripple through time. "Meanwhile, when a visit to an amusement park on a bio-engineered planet traps the Doctor and his friends in a time loop, one of our companions will have to step up to prevent the planet from tearing itself apart. Three new stories full of wit, emotion, and good technobabble, according to Peter Davison!" Producer Stewart Pringle, co-writer of the first and third episodes, said: "Tegan and Turlough are just great, aren't they? It's so lovely that this set is coming out around the time of Season 21 landing on Blu-ray because it's such a glorious period of Doctor Who. Field of Miracles is our tribute to The Android Invasion with shades of The Wicker Man." The second episode's writer James Moran added: "I will always refer to this story as Tegan Jovanka's Groundhog Day, which tells you all you need to know up front. It made me endlessly amused that I'd come up with a plot almost custom designed to make Tegan as angry as possible. And that was pretty much deliberate, to see how Janet would run with it!" The box set's other writer Lauren Mooney said: "Land of Fools is the Fifth Doctor in the 1980s with shades of Resurrection of the Daleks, but also a vibe of the Sylvester McCoy years. It's a proper little dystopia in a Back to the Future Part II mould, and it leads somewhere that we hope is unexpected. It's a thrill to write for this TARDIS team – the bickering, friction and lack of bonhomie gives this era such a delicious flavour of its own."

How much influence do parents really have in their children's lives? Zan Tyler and Dr. Roger Smith, pediatrician and internist, talk about the kind of relationships that shape children for the long haul. From choosing doctors you can trust to building a home filled with laughter, Roger shares why he and his wife became fully committed to homeschooling and never looked back. Zan and Roger also discuss the growing pressure many homeschool families feel today and why parents should not underestimate the power of being present, engaged, and deeply connected to their children.   SHOW NOTES https://zantyler.com/podcast/198-roger-smith   LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE Join Zan Tyler and a special guest each week for real encouragement, engaging stories, and practical wisdom for surviving and thriving on the homeschool journey.

Send us Fan MailMost men reading Zan's work assume the Ars Amorata vision is a soft one — all light and ease, women as fluttering butterflies, every interaction kissed by poetry. But there's a shadow side to the archetype that gets quietly ignored, and an answer to a question that almost nobody dares to ask: what would the world actually look like if every man embodied this philosophy?In this episode, Jordan brings a question from a Guild member known only as X — a sweeping, visionary inquiry about what happens to relationship forms, dating culture, and the wider social fabric if all boys grew up versed in these principles. Zan and Jordan take the question seriously, and the conversation moves into territory neither expected.They get into Zan's heresy that women are a reflection of the men in society — and why he doesn't coach women at all. The dividing line between a man who's angry at women (workable) and a man who hates women (closed). The middle-of-the-road guy with no role models, caught between the gun-toting carnivore podcaster and the matcha-latte male feminist. The institutionalised hatred of masculinity in certain cultures that some Guild members are quietly writing in about. And Zan's growing conviction that his future work belongs with thirteen-year-old boys, not thirty-year-old men.Watch until the end for Jordan's take on what would actually change in a world full of Amorati men — and the one global shift he believes would matter more than any other.

What happens when homeschooling looks nothing like you expected? Stephanie Price, mom of five, joins Zan to share the surprising lessons she's learned after five years of homeschooling — from letting go of public school pressure to discovering how each child learns best. Together, they talk honestly about hard days, mom guilt, flexible rhythms, and why a mother's peace shapes the atmosphere of the whole homeschool. If you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough, this conversation will bring fresh freedom and encouragement.   SHOW NOTES https://zantyler.com/podcast/197-stephanie-price   LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE Join Zan Tyler and a special guest each week for real encouragement, engaging stories, and practical wisdom for surviving and thriving on the homeschool journey.

Is homeschool freedom truly secure now that it's legal in all 50 states? HSLDA President Jim Mason says the answer might surprise you. As America marks its 250th anniversary, Jim and Zan trace the founding vision of "the pursuit of happiness" and why it places the family at the center of a flourishing society. They also name the real ideological threats facing homeschoolers right now, and why small infringements left unchallenged become big losses. Your homeschool freedom was hard-won, and this conversation will remind you why it's worth fighting for.

Ted Gibson and Jason Backe Live at ABS ChicagoSome conversations remind you why you got into this industry in the first place. This is one of them.Recorded live at ABS Chicago with co-host Geno Chapman, Corey sits down with Ted Gibson and Jason Backe for an hour covering three decades of hustle, heartbreak, reinvention, and beauty from the inside out.The Roads That Led HereNeither Ted nor Jason took a straight path in. Jason was a raver kid in Minneapolis who walked into beauty school and for the first time felt seen by a teacher. Ted was a Texas athlete who walked into a salon called Zan and Friends, saw a room full of stylish people in starched Wranglers, and decided that was the life. What followed was barber school, a cross-country move seeking fame, a detour to Atlanta to answer phones while switching his license, and a room with Confederate flags on the wall. He stayed anyway. The sacrifices nobody sees are always the foundation of the success they do.What Fame Actually CostsSaying yes to Angelina Jolie's hair for Tomb Raider changed everything. Vogue. Marie Claire. A PR firm that told them to drop the name Fame and call it Ted Gibson. A Fifth Avenue salon. A DC licensing deal tied to the Real Housewives. A move to LA where they gambled everything and learned more than they earned. Three years in Palm Springs that have brought more inspiration than anywhere else they've lived. Success is not linear. It never was.The Client Relationship... and When It EndsTed's rule: treat every client like it's the first time you've seen her. She is a different person. Jason goes deeper, describing 20 years of New York clients who didn't care what it cost, and how COVID ended it overnight. He had to create a new category... client friends. Losing them felt like grief. It changed how he understood his work entirely.Ted Gibson Beauty Wellness ScienceAfter Ted's mom was diagnosed with dementia, they dove into brain health and found lion's mane mushroom. They felt it. They kept going. A scientist in Oregon with 30 years studying fungi and algae helped them build a superfood powder: lion's mane, chaga, reishi, tremella, and blue-green algae in a coconut milk base with vanilla and coffee. Tremella is shown to be 100 times more effective than hyaluronic acid at moisture retention. Mix it into anything. A book is coming.Convergence: Beauty Wellness Science SummitMay 2-3 in Palm Springs. Professionals and consumers in the same room to collaborate, not compete. Mainstage education in cut, color, and dressing. Panel discussions including Guts, Brains and Beauty and Stars, Shrooms and Psychedelics. Breakout rooms. A cocktail party. The Beauty in Motion Evening Performance headlined by Ted and his artistic team. Day two is all professional education with business coaching from Steve Gomez.
