In 1945, U.S. Army psychiatrist Dr. Douglas Kelley arrived at Nuremberg with an hypothesis: the 22 top Nazi defendants, including Hermann Göring, the second most powerful man of the Third Reich, must share a unique psychosis. He was looking for a "Nazi mind virus" that could explain the Holocaust. As Jack El-Hai, author of The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, of which the new film, Nuremberg, starring Russell Crowe as Göring, is based, reveals in this week's Gaslit Nation, Dr. Kelley found something far more terrifying. There was no insanity. These men were clinically "normal." They were ambitious, hardworking, Type-A opportunists: the kind you might find in any corporate boardroom today. What made them willing to destroy half the population to rule the other half? Even Hitler, Dr. Kelley concluded, wasn't a "madman" but a paranoid hypochondriac whose fear of early death rushed him into strategic failures like the invasion of the Soviet Union. This finding is a warning for us now. If Nazism isn't a disease but a human choice, it can take root anywhere. El-Hai points to the "sophisticated propaganda" and the evolution of ICE tactics in Minneapolis, where he and his family live, as modern terror of the early Gestapo. How do we bring Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and their lawless killers to justice in our own Nuremberg trials? We stop waiting for a savior. We document the abuses, we protect the vote, and as El-Hai urges, we "get in where we fit in" during this time of self-defense resistance. This essential history is a reminder that the face of evil is often disturbingly ordinary.  Join our community of listeners and get bonus shows, ad free listening, group chats with other listeners, ways to shape the show, invites to exclusive events like our Monday political salons at 4pm ET over Zoom, and more!

What happened to Gloria? Now that I've had over 9 months to process, I finally address the elephant in the room of why I disappeared for 6 months last year, and how it triggered a spiritual awakening that allowed me to "create" anything, instantly... with just my mind. Please bear with me as I struggle to vocalize a truth I've been keeping a secret.  All the "unrelated" truths of the world are coming to light and connecting: From elite pedophile trafficking rings, to spiritual phenomenons, and now Inner Child Healing.UPCOMING FREE HEALING SESSIONS

Why do churches with sincere faith, gifted leaders, and strong theology still split?In this powerful episode of the Emotionally Healthy Leader Podcast, Pete Scazzero exposes a hard truth many leaders have experienced but rarely name: church fractures are rarely about doctrine or vision—they are about formation.Drawing from decades of pastoral leadership and personal failure, Pete explains why spiritual maturity without emotional maturity is unsustainable. Churches don't split because people don't love Jesus. They split because leaders and communities lack the emotionally healthy skills needed to love one another well under pressure, conflict, disappointment, and power dynamics.This episode explores why skills like incarnational listening, clarifying expectations, understanding how family history shapes leadership, and engaging in clean conflict are essential for healthy culture. Pete shares stories from his own leadership journey, including a painful church split that could have been prevented if these skills had been in place.If you're a pastor or leader longing to build a church culture that thrives—not just for a season, but for generations—this episode offers wisdom, hope, and a clear next step forward.

More than half of Americans say job insecurity is crushing them with stress. So how do some people look like they've always had it figured out? Spoiler: they haven't.  Host Elizabeth Weingarten traveled to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to pull aside C-Suite leaders, entrepreneurs, and founders from companies like BetterUp, Zoom, Bain & Company, and more to talk about the moments when work inexplicably shifts—the layoffs, the pivots, the feeling of being completely stuck.  From Dr. Becky Kennedy discovering that admitting "I don't know" was actually the path to knowing herself, to Ray Wang's father asking him "what are you worth?" before he started his own company, to Josh Kallmer's "happiness matrix" that pulled him out of his darkest professional period, these leaders show that navigating uncertainty is what makes great leaders.

A few years ago, I did something that most people would probably say is a terrible idea: I invited one of my online trolls onto a Zoom video chat.You may have heard a version of this story in one of my TEDx talks, but on this episode of The Real Stuff, I'm telling the full, unfiltered version (including ACTUAL audio from the call itself). I went back and listened to the 44-minute recording of our call and what I noticed five years later honestly surprised me.This woman had been leaving aggressive, deeply personal comments on my page about my body, my work, and my life. Instead of blocking her, I messaged her. And instead of escalating, she agreed to talk. What happened next was complicated.In this episode, I walk you through:What it actually feels like to confront someone who publicly criticizes youThe psychology behind online hate (and what I learned about jealousy and comparison)The moment she broke down and told me what was really going on in her lifeWhy I don't believe most trolls are actually “evil”How this experience changed the way I handle negativity on the internetAnd why, five years later, I feel protective over the younger version of myself who took that callI also share how my perspective has evolved — from feeling afraid of being disliked to realizing it's not my job to make everyone like me.This is a story about boundaries, compassion, ego, jealousy, and the strange difference between how people behave online versus face-to-face. And yes… I do even include some actual audio from the Zoom call.Sponsors:Wedderspoon: Go to https://wedderspoon.com/discount/REAL20 for 20% off your order.Ritual: For a limited time, save 40% on your first month at Ritual.com/REALSTUFFVuori: Get 20% off your first order at Vuori.com/REALSTUFFBird&Be: Visit birdandbe.com and use code REALSTUFF for 15% off your first purchase.Watch this episode in video form on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmevEcbh5h5FEX0pazPEtN86t7eb2OgX To apply to be a guest on the show, visit luciefink.com/apply and send us your story.

The United States and China are pursuing sharply different strategies in a region that is no longer best understood as the "Middle East," but as part of a broader Asian-centered geopolitical system historically described as "West Asia." This vast region stretches from countries along the Western Pacific and the Indian Ocean, all the way to the Eastern Mediterranean. While the U.S. remains the undisputed military hegemon in this theater, China is steadily becoming the indispensable economic power, providing access to vast pools of capital, new technology, and expanding trade. Mohammed Soliman, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute and a director at the geopolitical advisory firm McLarty Associates, joins Eric from Washington, D.C., to discuss his new book that explores how the U.S., China, and other powers are adapting to this new expanded view of the Middle East known as "West Asia."

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden CO GOP Chair Horn caves and agrees to hold special meeting regarding her failed leadership…. But there's a twist. this episode, Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden break down the escalating civil war within the Colorado Republican Party leadership and the controversial "Trump Doctrine" speech delivered by Marco Rubio in Munich. The duo also critiques Ken Buck's new anti-socialism venture and the latest revelations involving Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein. The Colorado GOP Leadership Crisis The program highlights a deepening divide within the Colorado GOP, centered on Chairwoman Britta Horn. Central Committee members previously voted to fire her personal attorney, Steve Klenda, who has reportedly accrued $200,000 in legal fees used for "lawfare" against the party's grassroots. Horn has allegedly ignored these votes and petitions for special meetings. Most recently, she is accused of cutting off Secretary Russ Andrews' access to party records and Zoom accounts after he validated petitions for a meeting. Critics suggest this disarray may be a deliberate strategy by wealthy donors to collapse the party structure in favor of "jungle primaries". National Politics and the "Trump Doctrine" The hosts analyze Senator Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Safety Conference, describing it as a bold articulation of the "Trump Doctrine." Rubio emphasized that the United States is a "child of Europe" with Christian values and warned against "civilizational erasure" through unchecked immigration. His speech touched on three pillars: protectionist trade policies (noting one cannot have free trade with non-free traders), the necessity of secure supply chains, and skepticism toward "insane" climate change policies that he claims are bankrupting Western nations while rivals like China expand coal use. Media, Culture, and the "Establishment" The discussion shifts to Ken Buck's new project aimed at educating youth on the failures of socialism. Chuck and Julie criticize the project's production quality and its redundant nature, suggesting it may be a "hobby" or a fundraising front. Additionally, they examine leaked communications between Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein from 2018-2019. The hosts describe Bannon as appearing "pompous" and "arrogant" in these interactions, questioning his motivations for maintaining ties with Epstein long after the latter's initial convictions. Climate Change and Local Impacts Julie critiques a Denver Post article regarding the impact of low snowfall on ski resorts, labeling it "green news scam" journalism funded by NGOs. She argues that natural climate cycles are being unfairly blamed on local behavior, while energy prices in Colorado rise due to the transition to wind and solar infrastructures that are not yet fully operational or integrated into the grid. The episode paints a picture of a Republican party at a crossroads, both locally in Colorado and globally. While local leadership struggles with internal litigation and administrative "lockouts," national figures like Rubio are attempting to redefine the party's core identity around Western civilizational values and economic protectionism.

She also discusses groundbreaking research that shows how thoughts and emotions can affect gene expression and overall well-being. She shares her personal experience of using these practices to overcome cancer and encourages listeners to explore the mind-body connection for themselves.

A spontaneous episode recorded on Moon's day, the night before the Aquarius new moon/solar eclipse, in a Panera parking lot—possibly one spot away from where the Mercury retrograde in Sag transmission was recorded in November.This is the first voice memo ever recorded on the new phone (which isn't that new—it's an old model that someone said was the best phone, and sometimes the new technology isn't worth the money). This episode covers AI overwhelm (Claude AI being down for days, Zoom features nobody asked for, transcription agents joining client calls uninvited), why entrepreneurship is improv, and why the episode that was supposed to drop Sunday (the Magician card, episode 1) is now dropping Friday instead—making it the High Priestess card (episode 2) on Venus's day.Also: why this podcast was built by Uranus (not Saturn), why women wore shoulder pads in blazers when Saturn was last in Aries in 1999, why the best comedy characters come from real life (Linda Richmond was Mike Myers' first mother-in-law), why podcasting is a huge pain in the ass, and why SEO optimization is happening now for the future—not for current listeners.New rules, new energy, new year. We're holding hands and pretending this episode doesn't exist in the numbering system. Episode 23 drops Friday. It's the High Priestess. Moon and Sun dancing together. Masculine and feminine.

Here's what you missed at last week's Gaslit Nation Salon. The full recording is available on Patreon.com/Gaslit.  Gaslit Nation warned you in 2019 that Tulsi Gabbard was a Russian disinformation weapon, and now she is the Director of National Intelligence. The gatekeeper of American secrets is currently abusing her power to illegally intervene in our domestic elections, as seen in the recent federal raid on a Georgia election office. Trump's raid in Georgia, overseen by Gabbard and Kash Patel's FBI, goes beyond his Big Lie litigating the 2020 election. They're laying the groundwork to justify "security measures" to make it easier for GOP ratf*cking and voter suppression to steal our elections.  Meanwhile, a whistleblower complaint reveals that Gabbard buried NSA intelligence regarding two foreign operatives discussing a compromised person in Trump's inner circle. Given the corruption spree in Trump's own inner circle, there's a long list of who this could be! As the reporting has confirmed, Gabbard is leading a cover-up.  As predicted in last week's salon, it was Kushner who is at the center of an NSA intelligence report on two foreign operatives discussing someone close to Trump -- a report that Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, hid to protect the Trump family's corruption crime spree. A New York Times gift article is available here. Tulsi Gabbard is a national security threat. We must demand that our Secretaries of State protect our ballots from this administration's interference. Agonize then organize and socialize. The news cycle is designed to exhaust you, but you don't have to face the autocracy alone. We built a resilience community for truth-tellers, and we want you in it.  Join us today at 4pm ET for our Gaslit Nation Salon, a space to strategize, vent, and connect with a community of listeners just as horrified as you.

Join my “Who am I supposed to be now?” Masterclass with Archangel Gabrielle Friday, Feb 27 (donation-based—Zoom, or in-person in Wheaton with lunch) and get clear on who God needs you to be now and in this next chapter. https://www.angelwellnesscenter.com/who-am-i-supposed-to-be-now TODAY's EPISODE: Beautiful soul, this week in Rewrite Your Story, Julie focuses on one of the biggest blockages people carry: money. If you want financial freedom but feel stuck or secretly believe it will never happen for you, this episode explains why. When you hold two opposing beliefs at once, “I want abundance” and “I will never have it,” your energy cancels itself out.

Gabby Mark was born with a port wine stain birthmark on her face, and for years, she thought it was a curse. As a little girl, she carried the weight of other kids’ fear. They thought they could catch something from her. She learned to shrink herself to make others comfortable. But she chose a different story. During COVID, she connected over Zoom with other young people who shared her birthmark. What once felt isolating became empowering. Together, they realized they weren’t different in a bad way, they were rare in a beautiful way. Now at 21, Gabby walks into a room knowing she was made this way on purpose. Not as something to hide, but as something that sets her apart. She channels her healing through her music trio, The 223, and brings that same confidence and grit to her work as my content creator and intern. I’m blown away by her belief in herself and dedication to what set her soul on fire. She didn’t erase her mark. She became it. ✨See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've glorified remote work — the flexibility, the efficiency, the freedom to work from anywhere. And don't get me wrong, I love it too. But here's what we've lost in translation: humans are wired for connection. And when it comes to deals, creative work, strategic alignment, and building real trust, Zoom just doesn't cut it. I learned this the hard way while building something with Nick Shackelford, one of the best paid ad experts in the world. We were collaborating remotely for months — different timezones, misalignment, things stalling. Then we flew him to Melbourne for four days. I'm not exaggerating: we got more done in those four days than we had in three to four months remotely. In this episode, I break down why in-person collaboration is still the most powerful tool you have as a founder, and how to use it strategically without abandoning the remote work you've built. Here's what you'll take away: Why remote tools are essential but not a replacement for face-to-face connection The data: professionals expect 36% more revenue from in-person interactions vs. virtual ones How physical proximity unlocks faster problem-solving, better ideas, and deeper trust Why deals, partnerships, and team alignment happen faster when you're in the same room The hybrid model that works: operate remotely, but meet in person strategically and frequently How to use in-person time to unblock projects, build culture, and accelerate outcomes If you're feeling stuck with a project, misaligned with a partner, or struggling to build real connection with your team, this episode will show you how to break through by getting in the same room.

She's also a performing artist and actor, life and creativity coach, and the host of the Healthy Wealthy Wise Artist podcast. Welcome, Lara. Lara: Thank you for having me, Jo. Jo: It's exciting to talk to you today. First up— Tell us a bit more about you and how you got into writing. Lara: I'm going to call myself a greedy creative, because I started as a dancer, singer, and actress in musical theatre, which ultimately led me to London, the West End, and I was pursuing that in highly competitive performance circles. A lot of my future works come from that kind of place. But when I moved to America—which I did after my season in London and a little stint back in Australia, then to Atlanta, Georgia—I had a visa problem where I couldn't work legally, and it went on for about six months. Because I feel this urge to create, as so many of your listeners probably relate to, I was not okay with that. So that's actually where I started writing, in the quietness, with the limits and the restrictions. I've got two children and a husband, and they would go off to school and work and I'd be home thinking, ha. In that quietness, I just began to write. I love thinking of creativity as a mansion with many rooms, and you get to pick your rooms. I decided, okay, well the dance, acting, singing door is shut right now—I'm going to go into the writing room. So I did. Jo: I have had a few physical creatives on the show. Obviously one of your big rooms in your mansion is a physical room where you are actually performing and moving your body. I feel like this is something that those of us whose biggest area of creativity is writing really struggle with—the physical side. How do you think that physical practice of creativity has helped you in writing, which can be quite constrictive in that way? Lara: It's so good that you asked this because I feel what it trained me to do is ignore noise and show up. I don't like the word discipline—most of us get a bit uncomfortable with it, it's not a nice word. What being a dancer did was teach me the practice of what I like to call a rhythm, a creative rhythm, rather than a discipline, because rhythm ebbs and flows and works more with who we are as creatives, with the way creativity works in our body. That taught me: go to the barre over and over again—at the ballet barre, I'm talking about, not the pub. Go there over and over again. Warm up, do the work, show up when you don't feel like it. thaT naturally pivoted over to writing, so they're incredibly linked in the way that creativity works in our body. Jo: Do you find that you need to do physical practice still in order to get your creativity moving? I'm not a dancer. I do like to shake it around a bit, I guess. But I mainly walk. If I need to get my creativity going, I will walk. If people are stuck, do you think doing something physical is a good idea? Lara: It is, because the way that our body and our nervous system works—without going into too much boring science, although some people probably find it fascinating—is that when we shake off that lethargic feeling and we get blood flowing in our body, we naturally feel more awake. Often when you're walking or you're doing something like dance, your brain is not thinking about all of the big problems. You might be listening to music, taking in inspiration, taking in sunshine, taking in nature, getting those endorphins going, and that naturally leads to the brain being able to psychologically show up more as a creative. However, there are days, if I'm honest, where I wake up and the last thing I want to do is move. I want to be in a little blanket in the corner of the room with a hot cocoa or a coffee and just keep to myself. Those aren't always the most creative days, but sometimes I need that in my creative rhythm, and that's okay too. Jo: I agree. I don't like the word discipline, but as a dancer you certainly would've had to do that. I can't imagine how competitive it must be. I guess this is another thing about a career in dance or the physical arts. Does it age out? Is it really an ageist industry? Whereas I feel like with writing, it isn't so much about what your body can do anymore. Lara: That is true. There is a very real marketplace, a very real industry, and I'm careful because there's two sides to this coin. There is the fact that as we get older, our body has trouble keeping up at that level. There's more injuries, that sort of thing. There are some fit women performing in their sixties and seventies on Broadway that have been doing it for years, and they are fine. They'll probably say it's harder for some of them. Also, absolutely, I think there does feel in the professional sense like there can be a cap. A lot of casting in acting and in that world feels like there's fewer and fewer roles, particularly for women as we get older, but people are in that space all the time. There's a Broadway dancer I know who is 57, who's still trying to make it on Broadway and really open about that, and I think that's beautiful. So I'm careful with putting limits, because I think there are always outliers that step outside and go, “Hey, I'm not listening to that.” I think there's an audience for every age if you want there to be and you make the effort. But at the same time, yes, there is a reality in the industry. Totally. Jo: Obviously this show is not for dancers. I think it was more framing it as we are lucky in the writing industry, especially in the independent author community, because you can be any age. You can be writing on your deathbed. Most people don't have a clue what authors look like. Lara: I love that, actually. It's probably one of the reasons I maybe subconsciously went into writing, because I'm like, I want to still create and I'm getting older. It's fun. Jo: That's freeing. Lara: So freeing. It's a wonderful room in the mansion to stay in until the day I die, if I must put it that way. Jo: I also loved you mentioning that Broadway dancer. A lot of listeners write fiction—I write fiction as well as nonfiction—and it immediately makes me want to write her story. The story of a 57-year-old still trying to make it on Broadway. There's just so much in that story, and I feel like that's the other thing we can do: writing about the communities we come from, especially at different ages. Let's get into your book, Audacious Artistry. I want to start on this word audacity. You say audacity is the courage to take bold, intentional risks, even in the face of uncertainty. I read it and I was like, I love the sentiment, but I also know most authors are just full of self-doubt. Bold and audacious. These are difficult words. So what can you say to authors around those big words? Lara: Well, first of all, that self-doubt—a lot of us don't even know what it is in our body. We just feel it and go, ugh, and we read it as a lack of confidence. It's not that. It's actually natural. We all get it. What it is, is our body's natural ability to perceive threat and keep us safe. So we're like, oh, I don't know the outcome. Oh, I don't know if I'm going to get signed. Oh, I don't know if my work's going to matter. And we read that as self-doubt—”I don't have what it takes” and those sorts of things. That's where I say no. The reframe, as a coach, I would say, is that it's normal. Self-doubt is normal. Everyone has it. But audacity is saying, I have it, but I'm going to show up in the world anyway. There is this thing of believing, even in the doubt, that I have something to say. I like to think of it as a metaphor of a massive feasting table at Christmas, and there's heaps of different dishes. We get to bring a dish to the table rather than think we're going to bring the whole table. The audacity to say, “Hey, I have something to say and I'm going to put my dish on the table.” Jo: I feel like the “I have something to say” can also be really difficult for people, because, for example, you mentioned you have kids. Many people are like, I want to share this thing that happened to me with my kids, or a secret I learned, or a tip I think will help people. But there's so many people who've already done that before. When we feel like we have something to say but other people have said it before, how do you address that? Lara: I think everything I say, someone has already said, and I'm okay with that. But they haven't said it like me. They haven't said it in my exact way. They haven't written the sentence exactly the way—that's probably too narrow a point of view in terms of the sentence—maybe the story or the chapter. They haven't written it exactly like me, with my perspective, my point of view, my life experience, my lived experience. It matters. People have very short memories. You think of the last thing you watched on Netflix and most of us can't remember what happened. We'll watch the season again. So I think it's okay to be saying the same things as others, but recognise that the way you say it, your point of view, your stories, your metaphors, your incredible way of putting a sentence togethes, it still matters in that noise. Jo: I think you also talk in the book about rediscovering the joy of creation, as in you are doing it for you. One of the themes that I emphasise is the transformation that happens within you when you write a book. Forget all the people who might read it or not read it. Even just what transforms in you when you write is important enough to make it worthwhile. Lara: It really, really is. For me, talking about rediscovering the joy of creation is important because I've lost it at times in my career, both as a performing artist and as an author, in a different kind of way. When we get so caught up in the industry and the noise and the trends, it's easy to just feel overwhelmed. Overwhelm is made up of a lot of emotions like fear and sadness and grief and all sorts of things. A lot of us don't realise that that's what overwhelm is. When we start to go, “Hey, I'm losing my voice in all this noise because comparison is taking over and I'm feeling all that self-doubt,” it can feel just crazy. So for me, rediscovering the joy of creation is vital to survival as an author, as an artist. A classic example, if you don't mind me sharing my author story really quickly, is that when I first wrote the first version of my book, I was writing very much for me, not realising it. This is hindsight. My first version was a little more self-indulgent. I like to think of it like an arrowhead. I was trying to say too much. The concept was good enough that I got picked up by a literary agent and worked with an editor through that for an entire year. At the end of that time, they dropped me. I felt like, through that time, I learned a lot. It was wonderful. Their reason for dropping me was saying, “I don't think we have enough of a unique point of view to really sell this.” That was hard. I lay on my bed, stared at the ceiling, felt grief. The reality is it's so competitive. What happened for me in that year is that I was trying to please. If you're a new author, this is really important. You are so desperately trying to please the editor, trying to do all the right things, that you can easily lose your joy and your unique point of view because you are trying to show up for what you think they all need and want. What cut through the noise for me is I got off that bed after my three hours of grief—it was probably longer, to be fair—but I booked myself a writing coach. I went back to the drawing board. I threw a lot of the book away. I took some good concepts out that I already knew were good from the editor, then I rewrote the entire thing. It's completely different to the first version. That's the book that got a traditional publishing deal. That book was my unique point of view. That book was my belief, from that grief, that I still have something to say. Instead of trusting what the literary agent and the editor were giving me in those red marks all over that first version, I was like, this is what I want to say. That became the arrowhead that's cut into the industry, rather than the semi-trailer truck that I was trying to bulldoze in with no clear point of view. So rediscovering the joy of creation is very much about coming back to you. Why do I write? What do I want to say? That unique point of view will cut through the noise a lot of the time. I don't want to speak in absolutes, but a lot of the time it will cut through the noise better than you trying to please the industry. Jo: I can't remember who said it, but somebody talked about how you've got your stone, and your stone is rough and it has random colours and all this. Then you start polishing the stone, which you have to do to a point. But if you keep polishing the stone, it looks like every other stone. What's the point? That fits with what you were saying about trying to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one. I also think the reality of what you just said about the book is a lot of people's experience with writing in general. Certainly for me, I don't write in order. I chuck out a lot. I'm a discovery writer. People think you sit down and start A and finish Z, and that's it. It's kind of messy, isn't it? Was that the same in your physical creative life? Lara: Yes. Everything's a mess. In the book I actually talk about learning to embrace the cringe, because we all want to show up perfect. Just as you shared, we think, because we read perfect and look at perfect or near-perfect work—that's debatable all the time—we want to arrive there, and I guess that's natural. But what we don't often see on social media or other places is the mess. I love the behind the scenes of films. I want to see the messy creative process. The reality is we have to learn to embrace the messy cringe because that's completely normal. My first version was so messy, and it's about being able to refine it and recognise that that is normal. So yes, embrace it. That's my quote for the day. Embrace the cringe, show up messy. It's all right. Jo: You mentioned the social media, and the subtitle of the book mentions a “saturated world.” The other problem is there are millions of books out there now. AI is generating more content than humans do, and it is extremely hard to break through. How are we to deal with this saturated world? When do we join in and when do we step away? Lara: I think it's really important not to have black and white thinking about it, because trust me, every day I meet an artist that will say, “I hate that I have to show up online.” To be honest with you, there's a big part of me that does also. But the saturation of the world is something that I recognise, and for me, it's like I'm in the world but not of it. That saturation can cause so much overwhelm and nervous system threat and comparison. What I've personally decided to do is have intentional showing up. That looks like checking in intentionally with a design, not a randomness, and then checking out. When push comes to shove, at the end of the day, I really believe that what sells books is people's trust in us as a person. They might go through an airport and not know us at all and pick up the book because it's a bestseller and they just trust the reputation, but so much of what I'm finding as an artist is that personal relationship, that personal trust. Whether that's through people knowing you via your podcast or people meeting you in a room. Especially in nonfiction, I think that's really big. Intentional presence from a place where we've regulated ourselves, being aware that it's saturated, but my job's not to be focused on the saturation. My job is to find my unique voice and say I have something to bring. Be intentional with that. Shoot your arrow, and then step out of the noise, because it's just overwhelming if you choose to live there and scroll without any intentionality at all. Jo: So how do people do that intentionality in a practical way around, first of all, choosing a platform, and then secondly, how they create content and share content and engage? What are some actual practical tips for intentionality? Lara: I can only speak from my experience, but I'm going to be honest, every single application I sent asked for my platform stats. Every single one. Platform stats as in how many followers, how many people listening to your podcast, how many people are reading your blog. That came up in every single literary agent application. So I would be a fool today to say you've got to ignore that, because that's just the brass tacks, unless you're already like a famous footballer or something. Raising and building a platform of my own audience has been a part of why I was able to get a publishing deal. In doing that, I've learned a lot of hard lessons. Embrace the cringe with marketing and social media as well, because it's its own beast. Algorithms are not what I worry about. They're not going to do the creativity for you. What social media's great at is saying, “Hey, I'm here”—it's awareness. It's not where I sell stuff. It's where I say, I'm here, this is what I'm doing, and people become aware of me and I can build that relationship. People do sell through social media, but it's more about awareness statistically. I am on a lot of platforms, but not all of them work for every author or every style of book. I've done a lot of training. I've really had to upskill in this space and get good at it. I've put myself through courses because I feel like, yes, we can ignore it if we want to, but for me it's an intentional opting in because the data shows that it's been a big part of being able to get published. That's overwhelming to hear for some people. They don't want to hear that. But that's kind of the world that we are in, isn't it? Jo: I think the main point is that you can't do everything and you shouldn't even try to do everything. The best thing to do is pick a couple of things, or pick one thing, and focus on that. For example, I barely ever do video, so I definitely don't do TikTok. I don't do any kind of video stuff. But I have this podcast. Audio is my happy place, and as you said, long-form audio builds trust. That is one way you can sell, but it's also very slow—very, very slow to build an audio platform. Then I guess my main social media would be Instagram, but I don't engage a lot there. So do you have one or two main things that you do, and any thoughts on using those for book marketing? Lara: I do a lot of cross-posting. I am on Instagram and I do a lot of creation there, and I'm super intentional about this. I actually do 30 days at a time, and then it's like my intentional opt-in. I'll create over about two days, edit and plan. It's really, really planned—shoot everything, edit everything, put it all together, and then upload everything. That will be 30 days' worth. Then I back myself right out of there, because I don't want to stay in that space. I want to be in the creative space, but I do put those two days a month aside to do that on Instagram. Then I tweak things for YouTube and what works on LinkedIn, which is completely different to Instagram. As I'm designing my content, I have in mind that this one will go over here and this one can go on here, because different platforms push different things. I am on Threads, but Threads is not statistically where you sell books, it's just awareness. Pinterest I don't think has been very good for my type of work, to be honest. For others it might. It's a search engine, it's where people go to get a recipe. I don't necessarily feel like that's the best place, this is just my point of view. For someone else it might be brilliant if you're doing a cookbook or something like that. I am on a lot of platforms. My podcast, however, I feel is where I'm having the most success, and also my blog. Those things as a writer are very fulfilling. I've pushed growing a platform really hard, and I am on probably almost every platform except for TikTok, but I'm very intentional with each one. Jo: I guess the other thing is the business model. The fiction business model is very, very different to nonfiction. You've got a book, but your higher-cost and higher-value offerings are things that a certain number of people come through to you and pay you more money than the price of a book. Could talk about how the book leads into different parts of your business? Because some people are like, “Am I going to make a living wage from book sales of a nonfiction book?” And usually people have multiple streams of income. Lara: I think it's smart to have multiple streams of income. A lot of people, as you would know, would say that a book is a funnel. For those who haven't heard of it, a way that people come into your bigger offerings. They don't have to be, but very much I do see it that way. It's also credibility. When you have a published book, there's a sense of credibility. I do have other things. I have courses, I have coaching, I have a lot of things that I call my parallel career that chug alongside my artist work and actually help stabilise that freelance income. Having a book is brilliant for that. I think it's a wonderful way to get out there in the world. No matter what's happening in all the online stuff, when you're on an aeroplane, so often someone still wants to read a book. When you're on the beach, they don't want to be there with a laptop. If you're on the sand, you want to be reading a beautiful paper book. The smell of it, the visceral experience of it. Books aren't going anywhere, to me. I still feel like there are always going to be people that want to pick it up and dig in and learn so much of your entire life experience quickly. Jo: We all love books here. I think it's important, as you do talk about career design and you mentioned there the parallel career—I get a lot of questions from people. They may just be writing their first book and they want to get to the point of making money so they could leave their day job or whatever. But it takes time, doesn't it? So how can we be more strategic about this sort of career design? Lara: For me, this has been a big one because lived experience here is that I know artists in many different areas, whether they're Broadway performers or music artists. Some of them are on almost everything I watch on TV. I'm like, oh, they're that guy again. I know that actor is on almost everything. I'll apply this over to writers. The reality is that these high-end performers that I see all the time showing up, even on Broadway in lead roles, all have another thing that they do, because they can still have, even at the highest level, six months between a contract. Applying that over to writing is the same thing, in that books and the money from them will ebb and flow. What so often artists are taught—and authors fit into this—is that we ultimately want art to make us money. So often that becomes “may my art rescue me from this horrible life that I'm living,” and we don't design the life around the art. We hope, hope, hope that our art will provide. I think it's a beautiful hope and a valid one. Some people do get that. I'm all for hoping our art will be our main source of income. But the reality is for the majority of people, they have something else. What I see over and over again is these audacious dreams, which are wonderful, and everything pointing towards them in terms of work. But then I'll see the actor in Hollywood that has a café job and I'm like, how long are you going to just work at that café job? They're like, “Well, I'm goint to get a big break and then everything's going to change.” I think we can think the same way. My big break will come, I'll get the publishing deal, and then everything will change. The reframe in our thinking is: what if we looked at this differently? Instead of side hustle, fallback career, instead of “my day job,” we say parallel career. How do I design a life that supports my art? And if I get to live off my art, wonderful. For me, that's looked like teaching and directing musical theatre. It's looked like being able to coach other artists. It's looked like writing and being able to pivot my creativity in the seasons where I've needed to. All of that is still creativity and energising, and all of it feeds the great big passion I have to show up in the world as an artist. None of it is actually pulling me away or draining me. I mean, you have bad days, of course, but it's not draining my art. When we are in this way of thinking—one day, one day, one day—we are not designing intentionally. What does it look like to maybe upskill and train in something that would be more energising for my parallel career that will chug alongside us as an artist? We all hope our art can totally 100% provide for us, which is the dream and a wonderful dream, and one that I still have. Jo: It's hard, isn't it? Because I also think that, personally, I need a lot of input in order to create. I call myself more of a binge writer. I just finished the edits on my next novel and I worked really hard on that. Now I won't be writing fiction for, I don't know, maybe six months or something, because now I need to input for the next one. I have friends who will write 10,000 words a day because they don't need that. They have something internal, or they're just writing a different kind of book that doesn't need that. Your book is a result of years of experience, and you can't write another book like that every year. You just can't, because you don't have enough new stuff to put in a book like that every single year. I feel like that's the other thing. People don't anticipate the input time and the time it takes for the ideas to come together. It is not just the production of the book. Lara: That's completely true. It goes back to this metaphor that creativity in the body is not a machine, it's a rhythm. I like to say rhythm over consistency, which allows us to say, “Hey, I'm going to be all in.” I was all in on writing. I went into a vortex for days on end, weeks on end, months and probably years on end. But even within that, there were ebbs and flows of input versus “I can't go near it today.” Recognising that that's actually normal is fine. There are those people that are outliers, and they will be out of that box. A lot of people will push that as the only way. “I am going to write every morning at 10am regardless.” That can work for some people, and that's wonderful. For those of us who don't like that—and I'm one of those people, that's not me as an artist—I accept the rhythm of creativity and that sometimes I need to do something completely different to feed my soul. I'm a big believer that a lot of creative block is because we need an adventure. We need to go out and see some art. To do good art, you've got to see good art, read good art, get outside, do something else for the input so that we have the inspiration to get out of the block. I know a screenwriter who was writing a really hard scene of a daughter's death—her mum's death. It's not easy to just write that in your living room when you've never gone through it. So she took herself out—I mean, it sounds morbid, but as a writer you'll understand the visceral nature of this—and sat at somebody's tombstone that day and just let that inform her mind and her heart. She was able to write a really powerful scene because she got out of the house and allowed herself to do something different. All that to say that creativity, the natural process, is an in-and-out thing. It ebbs and flows as a rhythm. People are different, and that's fine. But it is a rhythm in the way it works scientifically in the body. Jo: On graveyards—we love graveyards around here. Lara: I was like, sorry everyone, this isn't very nice. Jo: Oh, no. People are well used to it on this show. Let's come back to rhythm. When you are in a good rhythm, or when your body's warmed up and you are in the flow and everything's great, that feels good. But what if some people listening have found their rhythm is broken in some way, or it's come to a stop? That can be a real problem, getting moving again if you stop for too long. What are some ways we can get that rhythm back into something that feels right again? Lara: First of all, for people going through that, it's because our body actually will prioritise survival when we're going through crisis or too much stress. Creativity in the brain will go, well, that's not in that survival nature. When we are going through change—like me moving countries—it would disconnect us a lot from not only ourselves and our sense of identity, but creativity ultimately reconnects you back into life. I feel like to be at our optimum creative self, once we get through the crisis and the stress, is to gently nudge ourselves back in by little micro things. Whether it's “I'm just going to have the rhythm of writing one sentence a day.” As we do that, those little baby steps build momentum and allow us to come back in. Creativity is a life force. It's not about production, it's actually how we get to any unique contribution we're going to bring to the world. As we start to nudge ourselves back in, there's healing in that and there's joy in that. Then momentum comes. I know momentum comes from those little steps, rather than the overwhelming “I've got to write a novel this week” mindset. It's not going to happen, most of the time, when we are nudging our way back in. Little baby steps, kindness with ourselves. Staying connected to yourself through change or through crisis is one of the kindest things we can offer ourselves, and allowing ourselves to come into that rhythm—like that musical song of coming back in with maybe one line of the song instead of the entire masterpiece, which hopefully it will be one day. Jo: I was also thinking of the dancing world again, and one thing that is very different with writers is that so much of what we do is alone. In a lot of the performance art space, there's a lot more collaboration and groups of people creating things together. Is that something you've kept hold of, this kind of collaborative energy? How do you think we can bring that collaborative energy more into writing? Lara: Writing is very much alone. Obviously some people, depending on the project, will write in groups, but generally speaking, it's alone. For me, what that looks like is going out. I do this, and I know for some writers this is like, I don't want to go and talk to people. There are a lot of introverts in writing, as you are aware. I do go to creative mixers. I do get out there. I'm planning right now my book launch with a local bookstore, one in Australia and one here in America. Those things are scary, but I know that it matters to say I'm not in this alone. I want to bring my friends in. I want to have others part of this journey. I want to say, hey, I did this. And of course, I want to sell books. That's important too. It's so easy to hide, because it's scary to get out there and be with others. Yet I know that after a creative mixer or a meetup with all different artists, no matter their discipline, I feel very energised by that. Writers will come, dancers will come, filmmakers will come. It's that creative force that really energises my work. Of course, you can always meet with other writers. There's one person I know that runs this thing where all they do is they all get on Zoom together and they all write. Their audio's off, but they're just writing. It's just the feeling of, we're all writing but we're doing it together. It's a discipline for them, but because there's a room of creatives all on Zoom, they're like, I'm here, I've showed up, there's others. There's a sense of accountability. I think that's beautiful. I personally don't want to work that way, but some people do, and I think that's gorgeous too. Jo: Whatever sustains you. I think one of the important things is to realise you are not alone. I get really confused when people say this now. They're like, “Writing's such a lonely life, how do you manage?” I'm like, it is so not lonely. Lara: Yes. Jo: I'm sure you do too. Especially as a podcaster, a lot of people want to have conversations. We are having a conversation today, so that fulfils my conversation quota for the day. Lara: Exactly. Real human connection. It matters. Jo: Exactly. So maybe there's a tip for people. I'm an introvert, so this actually does fulfil it. It's still one-on-one, it's still you and me one-on-one, which is good for introverts. But it's going out to a lot more people at some point who will listen in to our conversation. There are some ways to do this. It's really interesting hearing your thoughts. Tell people where they can find you and your books and your podcast online. Lara: The book is called Audacious Artistry: Reclaim Your Creative Identity and Thrive in a Saturated World, and it's everywhere. The easiest thing to do would be to visit my website, LaraBiancaPilcher.com/book, and you'll find all the links there. My podcast is called Healthy Wealthy Wise Artist, and it's on all the podcast platforms. I do short coaching for artists on a lot of the things we've been talking about today. Jo: Brilliant. Well, thanks so much for your time, Lara. That was great. Lara: Thank you.The post Audacious Artistry: Reclaiming Your Creative Identity And Thriving In A Saturated World With Lara Bianca Pilcher first appeared on The Creative Penn.

I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.What if loving deeply didn't mean losing yourself?In this episode, I reflect on self-love through the lens of the Recover Your Soul process and my own journey from codependency, control, and self-sacrifice into something far more grounded and whole.So many of us learned early on that love meant being good, being helpful, being quiet, being compliant, or being whatever someone else needed us to be. We became experts at caring for everyone else while slowly disconnecting from our own voice, our own body, and our own truth for survival.True self-love is the courageous act of opening your heart while staying rooted in who you are.In this conversation, I share about the ways codependency teaches us to abandon ourselves in relationships, why protecting your heart is natural, and how those protectors form. We explore the difference between transactional love and spiritual love, and what it really means to love yourself first without loosing yourself.We talk about the steel gates around our hearts and how awakening allows us to soften those defenses without collapsing back into old patterns.Self-love is not about becoming perfect.It is about becoming present.It is about remembering your wholeness.When we stop asking others to Join the community and Recover Your Soul with Rev Rachel.2026 is a big year offering GROUP COACHING, IN-PERSON RETREATS, and our FREE SUPPORT GROUP.  Start your journey with the FREE Recover Your Soul™ 9-Step Mini-Workbook- A gentle spiritual path to healing, letting go, and awakening.

In this episode Andrea Samadi revisits Season 15's foundation with Dr. Bruce Perry to explore how safety, regulation, and patterned experience shape the brain's capacity to learn and create. We examine why potential must be activated through repetition, rhythm, and low-threat environments, and how trauma, stress, or dysregulation block learning. Takeaways include practical steps for educators, parents, and leaders: prioritize nervous-system safety before instruction, use micro-repetition to build skills, and employ storytelling to make scientific ideas stick. This episode anchors Phase 1 of the season: regulation, rhythm, repetition, and relational safety as the prerequisites for sustainable performance and lasting change. This week, Episode 385—based on our review of Episode 168 recorded in October 2021—we explore: ✔ 1. Genetic Potential vs. Developed Capacity We are born with extraordinary biological potential. But experience determines which neural systems become functional. The brain builds what it repeatedly uses. ✔ 2. The Brain Is Use-Dependent Language, emotional regulation, leadership skills, motor precision— all are wired through patterned, rhythmic repetition. ✔ 3. Trauma, Regulation & Learning A dysregulated nervous system cannot efficiently learn. Safety, rhythm, and relational connection come before strategy. ✔ 4. “What Happened to You?” vs. “What's Wrong with You?” Shifting from judgment to curiosity changes how we approach: Children Students Teams Ourselves ✔ 5. Early Experience Shapes Long-Term Expression Developmental inputs—especially patterned, early ones— determine which capacities are strengthened. ✔ 6. Repetition Builds Confidence Confidence is not a personality trait. It is neural circuitry built through structured repetition in safe environments. ✔ 7. Story Makes Science Stick From Dr. Perry's experience writing with Oprah: You can't tell everybody everything you know. Impact comes from: One core idea Wrapped in story Delivered with restraint ✔ 8. Information Overload Weakens Learning Depth > Volume Clarity > Density Retention > Impressive Data ✔ 9. Regulation Comes Before Motivation Before goals. Before performance. Before achievement. The nervous system must feel safe. ✔ 10. Season 15's Foundational Question Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? Welcome back to Season 15 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and here we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience—so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. When we launched this podcast seven years ago, it was driven by a question I had never been taught to ask— not in school, not in business, and not in life: If results matter—and they matter now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make these results happen? Most of us were taught what to do. Very few of us were taught how to think under pressure, how to regulate emotion, how to sustain motivation, or even how to produce consistent results without burning out. That question led me into a deep exploration of the mind–brain–results connection—and how neuroscience applies to everyday decisions, conversations, and performance. That's why this podcast exists. Each week, we bring you leading experts to break down complex science and translate it into practical strategies you can apply immediately. If you've been with us through Season 14, you may have felt something shift. That season wasn't about collecting ideas. It was about integrating these ideas into our daily life, as we launched our review of past episodes. Across conversations on neuroscience, social and emotional learning, sleep, stress, exercise, nutrition, and mindset frameworks—we heard from voices like Bob Proctor, José Silva, Dr. Church, Dr. John Medina, and others—one thing became clear: These aren't separate tools that we are covering in each episode. They're parts of one operating system. When the brain, body, and emotions are aligned, performance stops feeling forced—and starts to feel sustainable. Season 14 showed us what alignment looks like in real life. We looked at goals and mental direction, rewiring the brain, future-ready learning and leadership, self-leadership, which ALL led us to inner alignment. And now we move into Season 15 that is about understanding how that alignment is built—so we can build it ourselves, using predictable, science-backed principles. Because alignment doesn't happen all at once. It happens by using a sequence. And when we understand the order of that sequence — we can replicate it. By repeating this sequence over and over again, until magically (or predictably) we notice our results have changed. So Season 15 we've organized as a review roadmap, where each episode explores one foundational brain system—and each phase builds on the one before it. Season 15 Roadmap: Phase 1 — Regulation & Safety Phase 2 — Neurochemistry & Motivation Phase 3 — Movement, Learning & Cognition Phase 4 — Perception, Emotion & Social Intelligence Phase 5 — Integration, Insight & Meaning PHASE 1: REGULATION & SAFETY Staples: Sleep + Stress Regulation Core Question: Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? Anchor Episodes Episode 384 — Baland Jalal How learning begins: curiosity, sleep, imagination, creativity Bruce Perry “What happened to you?” — trauma, rhythm, relational safety Sui Wong Autonomic balance, lifestyle medicine, brain resilience Rohan Dixit HRV, real-time self-regulation, nervous system literacy Last week we began with Phase One: Regulation and Safety as we revisited Dr. Baland Jalal's interview from June 2022. EP 384 — Dr. Baland Jalal[i] Dr. Baland Jalal This episode sits at the foundation of Season 15. Dr. Baland Jalal is a Harvard neuroscientist whose work explores how sleep, imagination, and curiosity shape the brain's capacity to learn and create. What stood out to me then — and even more now — is that learning doesn't begin with effort. It begins when the brain is rested, regulated, and free to explore possibility. This conversation reminds us that creativity isn't added later — it's built into the brain when conditions are right. It's here we remember that before learning can happen, before curiosity can emerge, before motivation or growth is possible— the brain must feel safe. And what better place to begin with safety and the brain, than with Dr. Bruce Perry, who we met October of 2021 on EP 168.[ii] EP 385 — Dr. Bruce Perry Dr. Bruce Perry (Episode 168 – October 2021) Dr. Bruce Perry, Senior Fellow of the Child Trauma Academy in Houston, Texas, and Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, joined the podcast to help us better understand how traumatic experiences shape the developing brain. At the time, I was deeply concerned about the generational impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In one of Dr. Perry's trainings, he referenced research conducted after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which showed that families exposed to prolonged stress experienced increased rates of substance abuse — not only in those directly affected, but in the next generation as well. As I began hearing reports of rising depression, anxiety, and substance use during the pandemic, I wondered: What could we do now to reduce the long-term neurological and emotional impact on our children, our schools, and future generations? Dr. Perry agreed to come on the show to share insights from his work and to discuss his book, co-authored with Oprah Winfrey: What Happened to You: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience and Healing.[iii] Dr. Bruce Perry challenges one of the most common questions we ask in education, leadership, and parenting. Instead of asking, “What's wrong with you?” he asks, “What happened to you?” In this conversation, we explored how early experiences shape the brain, how trauma disrupts regulation, and why healing begins with rhythm, safety, and connection. You can find a link to our full interview in the resource section in the show notes. This episode anchors Season 15 by reminding us: a dysregulated brain cannot learn — no matter how good the strategy. Let's go to our first clip with Dr. Bruce Perry, and look deeper at how we are all born with potential, but our experience builds the rest.

For part 9 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack these lines:"We believe in the Holy Spirit,The Lord, the Giver of Life,Who proceeds from the Father and the Son,With the Father and the Son S/He is worshipped and glorified;S/He has spoken through the Prophets."The Holy Spirit is probably God's most misunderstood person of the Trinity ... and yet, the one who is our Advocate, guide, Wisdom, and companion. So we spend a little time understanding where She fits in the big picture of Christianity, how we might discern between what is anxiety and the voice of God within us, and what exactly is the "Filioque" and the Great Schism debate about. +++Like what you hear?

"It is physiologically contraindicated for nurses to remain in practice" Nurses Uncorked welcomes back Dr. Lorre Laws PhD, RN to the podcast. In this episode, Nurse Erica shares her personal journey as the primary caregiver for her mother with Alzheimer's Disease. This conversation delves into the impact of unintegrated trauma on nurses and the necessity for self-compassion to aid in recovery. The discussion highlights the silent epidemic of nurse-specific trauma and how it affects nurses' mental and physical health. The statistics reveal high rates of PTSD, depression, substance abuse, and suicide among nurses. The conversation emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the nervous system and the importance of addressing personal and professional struggles faced by healthcare workers. The discussion also touches on trauma education lacking in nursing programs and asks the question - are nurses being traumatized to monetize? Interested in Sponsoring the Show?

From Content Overload to Curated Influence: The Future of ConnectionOverviewIn this transformative episode, Julie Riga sits down with Kyle Hudson, founder and CEO of Stacklist, to explore how curation, not content creation, is becoming the future of trust and influence in an AI-driven world. Kyle shares his journey from building digital solutions for Google, Disney, and Coca-Cola to creating a platform that helps service professionals own their client relationships. Together, they dive into the ingredients for success in today's rapidly evolving landscape, discussing tech stack management, experimental mindsets, and becoming omnipotential leaders.From Content Overload to Curated Influence: The Future of ConnectionGuest: Kyle Hudson, Founder & CEO of StacklistHost: Julie RigaGuest BackgroundKyle Hudson is the founder and CEO of Stacklist, The Social Curation Network, helping service professionals turn local knowledge into shareable, AI-discoverable hubs. With a proven track record building digital solutions for brands like Google, Disney, and Coca-Cola, Kyle now focuses on empowering experts to own their client relationships rather than renting attention from social media platforms. Kyle is a member of the "Nintendo generation" (born 1979), shaped by growing up with technology as native rather than novel. His philosophy centers on omnipotential: the belief that you have the potential to be many things, not just one specialist.Fun Fact: Kyle is a burger connoisseur who dips his fries in mustard!Key Topics DiscussedThe Ingredients for Success:Curiosity & Experimental Mindset - Being open to trying new tools without fear of failure, treating business as one big lab experiment, and learning by doing rather than waiting for perfection.Fluidity & Adaptability - Avoiding vendor lock-in, being willing to scrap established systems for better solutions, and building the "Swiss Army Knife" skillset instead of narrow specialization.Omnipotential Leadership - Embracing multiple roles as an entrepreneur, understanding you're not defined by one label, and how generalists with AI partners become superhuman.Tech Stack Management: The $2000/month subscription problem, using Slack and Zoom as foundations, Linear as an elegant alternative to Jira, Claude Code for financial projections and custom agents. Strategy: Lock into solutions, not vendors.The Stacklist Philosophy: Curation over content creation, transforming personal expertise into discoverable resources, helping professionals own relationships instead of depending on algorithms. Everyone is known for something valuable.Memorable Quotes"Omnipotential is this idea that you are not X, you have the potential to be X, Y, Z, and A, B, C.""I just jump off the cliff, and as I'm falling, I'm learning. That's how I do it.""You only have to worry about AI taking your job if you're standing still. But if you're diving into it, you're learning skills you can teach others."Key InsightsKyle identifies as part of the "Nintendo generation," those who grew up with technology as native rather than novel, creating a fundamental difference in how leaders approach innovation. The conversation validates entrepreneurs who didn't fit the corporate mold. In the AI era, the valuable entrepreneur is the curious generalist who can leverage AI to solve novel problems.Action StepsAudit your tech stack and eliminate 70%Try one new AI tool this weekCreate your stack on Stacklist with your favorite topicsSchedule experimentation timeConnect: stacklist.app/kyle Connect: Stay On Course with Julie RigaEssential listening for entrepreneurs who want to thrive in an AI-driven future.#Leadership #Innovation #AI #Entrepreneurship #PersonalGrowth

Dr. Beckett and Rich Klein discuss Topps' “75 Greatest Cards” list finalized over a Zoom call with industry and hobby voices (including Nat Turner, writer Tim Kurkjian, collector Evan Longoria, historian John Thorn, Fanatics CEO Mike Mahan, and others). Josh Hall writes in criticizing the list for recognizing Barry Bonds and for placing Paul Skenes' card between legends like Jackie Robinson and Nolan Ryan in the top ten. Beckett explains why modern players must be represented, and they compare the process to Mike Payne's 1997 “300 Greatest Baseball Cards” book, and argues Skenes merits inclusion due to hobby relevance and sales, while noting career outcomes are uncertain. They cover how the top 10 was balloted and tabulated, Beckett's push for more Ohtani and Judge, and the importance of redemption “hits” that won't disappoint collectors. They debate including the Aurelio Rodriguez Bat Boy error card, Rich shares an anecdote about a 2006 Topps Heritage wrong-photo card signed “that's not me,” and critiques design choices that make names/numbers hard to read. The conversation also touches on buybacks, the hobby's shift toward hits over rediscovered commons, and how grading/pop reports influence list perception (including his view that a Topps Griffey “rookie” shouldn't outrank the iconic 1989 Upper Deck). Beckett addresses the tension between player popularity and performance, defends Bonds as having broken rules rather than committing “crimes against humanity,” and says he didn't rank Bonds in his own top 10, while noting Nolan Ryan's popularity despite a less-stellar win–loss record. They praise Topps/Fanatics' marketing savvy and both credit friend and longtime Topps' Clay Luraschi as a key behind-the-scenes contributor to the broader list that was narrowed down.   01:57 Why Modern Stars Belong 02:41 Inside the Voting and Making Redemption Cards Exciting 06:55 Buybacks vs. “Hits” in the Modern Hobby 07:41 Nat Turner/Grading/Pop Reports Shaping the Rankings 10:42 Barry Bonds Debate: Popularity vs Performance

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.“Terminated for cause” sounds like a career-ending verdict, but we pull back the curtain on what the label really means, why companies use it, and how you can fight back without burning bridges. Mark Caring walks through the legal standard for cause—willful misconduct, not mere underperformance—and shows how employers often stretch minor missteps into moral failures to dodge severance and unemployment costs. By separating performance from misconduct, you'll see where your leverage starts.We break down real-world examples that distinguish a missed quota from embezzlement, then map the tactics organizations use to turn small policy slips into big accusations. From rushed investigations to uneven rule enforcement, the cracks usually appear when you ask for your personnel file, compare treatment across colleagues, and line up the policy text with what actually happened. The burden of proof sits with the employer, and when they can't meet it, their case—and their confidence—fades.From there, we get practical. You'll hear a clear survival checklist: don't sign admissions on the spot, demand your records where state law allows, document inconsistencies, and get an employment lawyer to test the company's “cause” narrative. We outline how to negotiate from strength by challenging the validity of the determination, quantifying the cost of a fight, and proposing a clean resolution: severance, benefits continuation, mutual non-disparagement, and neutral or positive verification language. Often, that “for cause” label can be traded for cash and a resignation or reduction-in-force entry in your file—protecting your reputation while bridging to your next role.If you're staring at a cold conference room or a tense Zoom, take a breath. The label is a starting position, not a final judgment. Press play to learn how to turn panic into process, rebuild leverage with facts, and secure the outcome you deserve.

Marcio is very much Our Man In Brazil, an old friend and (during Bar Convent Brazil) I've visited his previous, much-vaunted bar Guilhotina. Marcio was in NY to do a MasterCard-backed pop-up of his Sao Paolo bar, Eximia, at New York's Dante, so we carved out a few hours to hang out and catch up. Enjoy!  (Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we're only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.

In the first half of this episode, we sit down with Nick from Pod of Thunder for a fascinating conversation about podcasting, nostalgia, and Canadian music legends.We kick things off discussing an intriguing podcast concept about screenwriting based on album tracks before diving into memories of obscure 70s TV shows and how YouTube has transformed from a platform for random content into a nostalgia powerhouse and instructional video library.The conversation takes an interesting turn as we explore AI technology—both its benefits and pitfalls. Nick shares a story about AI providing completely incorrect information, while we discuss how AI can be useful for tasks like product reviews. We also talk about the importance of family in podcasting, with Nick sharing stories about his mom's involvement in Pod of Thunder.We explore how COVID-19 changed podcasting forever by normalizing virtual recording and remote guests, comparing our different setups (StreamYard vs. Zoom) and discussing the evolution of podcast equipment over the years.The highlight of the episode is our deep dive into Nardwuar the Human Serviette, the legendary Canadian music interviewer known for his eccentric persona and encyclopedic knowledge of bands. We watch clips of his iconic interviews with KISS and Divine, discuss his unique interviewing style, and celebrate his upcoming induction into the Order of Canada. Nick also introduces us to Norman Gunston, another character-based interviewer, and his hilarious KISS parody album "Kiss Army."We wrap up this segment with discussions about family-friendly entertainment, video games like Roblox and Minecraft, and some memorable concert experiences.Linktree: https://linktr.ee/seangeekpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/meetthegeeksWe are a part of the Boneless Podcast Network: https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.app/Merch: Tee Public: https://www.teepublic.com/seangeekpodcastRed Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/seangeekpodcast/shop@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and FacebookMentioned in this episode:New Merch AdAn ad that incorporates Red Bubble and Tee Public

In deze podcast vertel ik een persoonlijk verhaal over mijn danscarrière. Het gaat over ballet, perfectionisme, een dansles zonder spiegels (without mirrors ) en hoe ik mijn "joy" in het dansen terug vond!Voel je de druk (pressure) om alles perfect te doen?Denk je: “Ik wil wel Nederlands spreken… maar eerst (first) moet ik nóg beter worden.”In deze aflevering laat ik je zien waarom plezier zo belangrijk (important) is in al mijn programma's. Niet alleen in dans of in het leven, maar ook in het leren van Nederlands. Je leert in deze podcast ook handige woorden en zinnen voor de verleden tijd. Let dus goed op de woorden “en toen”, “daarna” en “vervolgens”.Ik ben benieuwd: waar ben jij de 'joy' verloren (lost) in het Nederlands leren? En hoe kan jij dit plezier deze week weer een beetje terugvinden?Laat het me weten in de comments.✨Wil jij dit jaar écht de switch maken en vloeiend Nederlands spreken?

When Netflix released The Hunting Wives last summer, it's fair to say the show became a sensation. What's not to love? A taut murder mystery plus graphic, often lesbian, sex scenes - no wonder it attracted such a buzz. But while the protagonist goes through plenty in the show, the actress who plays her, Brittany Snow, had recently gone through her own trashy divorce, from pro-surfer and reality TV realtor Tyler Stanaland.

The steps in between big leaps, like little foot prints in the sand, are what make life worth living. Long strides cover many fronts, but little prints leave big clues. Facilitators, plans, and leadership building strategy. Persistent pressure as granular policy. Looks like organized trade craft in the subversive industry. A power network to bend institutions. The funding chain is simple, but key. Yield Giving is a McKinsey Scott (Bezo's Ex) managed finance vehicle. Out Front Minnesota and Ilhan Omar in her hijab. She meets with gay people her religion would burn. Foul smelling ethics can be technically lawful. Muscle memory for influencing reactions. For many, the zombie training is easy. Players are given a roll, their lane and detailed script. This is groundwork for a general strike. Hiding behind language is false protection from the law. Many of the same lefties are involved in multiple ops. We knew it was going to be a long war. The well financed and planned street opposition is proving that.
