Here are some key summary points from the podcast transcript: Jamie Gantt joins Chris Voss on The Chris Voss Show to discuss the concept of living radically and finding true happiness and success. Jamie explains that many people live their lives chasing after success and dreams that were never truly their own, leading to burnout and dissatisfaction. She emphasizes the importance of uncovering one's core values and focusing on self-care as a means to create positive change. Jamie shares her personal journey of overcoming burnout and finding her passion for coaching, and she encourages listeners to embrace radical acceptance and let go of societal expectations.

Key Takeaways: Jamie Gantt experienced burnout and depression at the peak of her corporate career, which led her on a journey of self-discovery to find happiness and fulfillment. She discovered the power of self-care and now wants to help others avoid the same mistakes. Many people just follow the "life script" they are handed by society without thinking about what will truly make them happy. Jamie helps people uncover their core values and create an action plan aligned with those values. Self-care and knowing your authentic self is crucial. Women in particular tend to put themselves last and get burnt out. Jamie focuses on values-based self-care and goal setting. Going through the motions in a career or relationship that isn't right for you leads to a "gilded cage." Even when you have money and status, you can still feel empty inside. It's important to have radical acceptance - fully accepting your situation mentally and emotionally, even if you want to change it. Then you can move forward in a positive way. You can reinvent yourself and switch careers at any age. It's never too late to find your passion and purpose. When you align your life around those, other things tend to fall into place. Don't worry about keeping up with the Joneses or seek validation from others. Focus inward on what fulfills you rather than external things like job titles and possessions. Living radically means getting to the core of what you truly want, rather than chasing after societal expectations and external markers of success. Many people are crystal clear on what they don't want, but they struggle to identify what they truly want in life. Self-care is essential for avoiding burnout and finding true happiness and success. Radical acceptance involves accepting the facts of a situation and the assoc...

Balance Of Power (The Chozien Path Series) by Krystal B Clark https://amzn.to/49bkuO1 Movingwithmeaning.com The Great Spirit has entrusted one special ame (a spirit) to us all: It resides in a child. A child to be groomed in the fashion of his or her order. A child known as the Chozien and sent by the Great Spirit. This child has a heightened ame capable of molding and shifting the way of our world. Once our study of the spirit language achieved a degree of sophistication, we were able to receive the Great Spirit’s counsel. This instruction calls to the spirit seekers of all orders, advising them that a new Chozien has been born, though his place of origin is always unknown. After one Chozien’s ame has left this world, a new one is born and the cycle begins again, as does the quest to find him—known as the Quête. The order that finds the Chozien can subsequently disrupt or soothe the world we live in. The Onyx Order, in the eastern Upperlands, has always coveted the Chozien for themselves. They embrace domination, by which their strength is determined and their numbers multiply. Their order is a constant menace, yet their fear of being overtaken keeps them from maintaining a ruling grip over the other orders. The order that holds the Chozien can make or break the future. As such, the progress or peril of our days ahead rests upon the shoulders of the order that lays claim to the Chozien. In this tale, the Great Spirit has called to all orders that a new Chozien has been born. The search has already begun. All have released their finest huntsmen and spirit seekers to find the child. We can only hope that we are not too late. Here are some high-level summary notes from The Chris Voss Show podcast interview with author Crystal B. Clark: Crystal B. Clark is a fantasy author who recently published her debut novel "Balance of Power", which incorporates her life experiences.

We Love You, Madam President by Alvin S Berger https://amzn.to/40ngKVS Alvinsberger.com The invention of a sentient computer imported from Israel leads to political chaos in America. This computer is more than human-better than human-with its limitless memory storage and human characteristics, which prove to be big trouble for the perverted President of the United States. His mistakes lead to his downfall and that of his entire cabinet. With Washington in chaos, two CIA agents and some members of the Senate try to halt what the deep state conspirators want to accomplish through bribery and deceit. The murder of anyone who gets in their way means nothing to them, mere collateral damage of their nefarious plan. Rising from the tumult is a brilliant woman who breaks through the glass ceiling as she fights to become the first female president with the knowledge of the world at her fingertips. She must rely on her own intuition and the goodness of humanity to shine through the darkness of dirty politics.Here are some high-level summary notes from The Chris Voss Show podcast interview with author Alvin S. Berger: Alvin S. Berger is an author who began writing later in life. His background is as a dentist who loved continuing education and personal development. His first book "A Mind of Her Own" was inspired by a note he wrote to his partner Vera, who encouraged him to turn it into a book. His second book is "We Love You Madam President" - a speculative fiction novel about the first female U.S. president, AI, and political intrigue. It came out of imagining walking with the characters through scenarios. Berger also sculpts and paints. He finds immediate artistic mediums quicker for an audience to absorb than the time investment of reading a full book. His third upcoming book is "Tentacles of Corruption" tackling political corruption and AI. He used a real AI system to generate text for the book. Writing allows Berger to feel connected to the characters. He prints out each page, edits by hand, and compiled a physical manuscript before publishing. There are plans to potentially turn "We Love You Madam President" into a screenplay and movie. Berger is working with Blackstone Publishing and feels honored at the positive response to his books as a first-time author.

The Essential Questions: Interview Your Family to Uncover Stories and Bridge Generations by Elizabeth Keating Ph.D. https://amzn.to/3FBpVs0 Just as the oral histories of people around the world are disappearing amid rapid change, there is a risk that your family’s personal stories, too, will be lost forever. In The Essential Questions, anthropologist Elizabeth Keating helps you to uncover the unique memories of your parents and grandparents and to create lasting connection with them in the process. As you seek to learn more about your family history, how do you get beyond familiar anecdotes and avoid the frustration of oppositional generational attitudes? By asking questions that make the familiar strange, anthropologists are able to see entirely different perspectives and understand new cultures. Drawing on her lifelong work in this field, Keating has developed a set of questions that treat your parents and grandparents not just as the people who raised you, but as individuals of a certain society and time, and as the children, teenagers, and young adults they once were. The Essential Questions helps you to learn about the history of your elders, to see the world through their eyes, and to honor the language they choose to describe their experiences. Here are some summary notes from the podcast interview: Elizabeth Keating is an anthropology professor and author of the new book "The Essential Questions: Interview Your Family to Uncover Stories and Bridge Generations." The book provides a framework of questions to deeply interview older family members about their life experiences and get intergenerational perspectives. Keating was inspired to write the book after losing her mother and realizing how little she knew about her life outside being a parent. The 13 essential questions focus on topics like childhood homes, interactions, coming-of-age rituals, fears, and more. They elicit rich details and stories. Interviewing family creates empathy, brings unknown histories to light, builds closer bonds, and preserves ordinary details of past eras before they are lost. Tips covered include withholding judgment, letting subjects guide the narrative, listening without interrupting, allowing silences for more memories to emerge. Recording interviews is highly recommended to accurately capture details, language, and stories for family archives. Video may make some uncomfortable. Starting interviews sooner rather than later is best, even if dementia is present, as older memories persist. Conversations can unfold over time. Understanding parents as full individuals, not just in their parental role, brings gratitude and a richer sense of personal history and influences.

The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel: Genius, Power, and Deception on the Eve of World War I by Douglas Brunt https://amzn.to/3QcSvVB INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The hidden history of one of the world’s greatest inventors, a man who disrupted the status quo and then disappeared into thin air on the eve of World War I—this book answers the hundred-year-old mystery of what really became of Rudolf Diesel. September 29, 1913: the steamship Dresden is halfway between Belgium and England. On board is one of the most famous men in the world, Rudolf Diesel, whose new internal combustion engine is on the verge of revolutionizing global industry forever. But Diesel never arrives at his destination. He vanishes during the night and headlines around the world wonder if it was an accident, suicide, or murder. After rising from an impoverished European childhood, Diesel had become a multi-millionaire with his powerful engine that does not require expensive petroleum-based fuel. In doing so, he became not only an international celebrity but also the enemy of two extremely powerful men: Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil and the richest man in the world. The Kaiser wanted the engine to power a fleet of submarines that would finally allow him to challenge Great Britain’s Royal Navy. But Diesel had intended for his engine to be used for the betterment of mankind and refused to keep the technology out of the hands of the British or any other nation. For John D. Rockefeller, the engine was nothing less than an existential threat to his vast and lucrative oil empire. As electric lighting began to replace kerosene lamps, Rockefeller’s bottom line depended on the world’s growing thirst for gasoline to power its automobiles and industries. At the outset of this new age of electricity and oil, Europe stood on the precipice of war. Rudolf Diesel grew increasingly concerned about Germany’s rising nationalism and military spending. The inventor was on his way to London to establish a new company that would help Britain improve its failing submarine program when he disappeared. Now, New York Times bestselling author Douglas Brunt reopens the case and provides an astonishing new conclusion about Diesel’s fate. “Equal parts Walter Isaacson and Sherlock Holmes, The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel yanks back the curtain on the greatest caper of the 20th century in this riveting history” (Jay Winik, New York Times bestselling author). About the author Until 2011, Douglas Brunt was CEO of Authentium, Inc. He now writes full time and lives in New York with his wife and three children. He is the author of New York Times Bestseller 'Ghosts of Manhattan' and 'The Means'. His third novel, 'Trophy Son', will be released May 30, 2017. You can lean more about Doug at www.douglasbrunt.comHere is a summary of the key points from the podcast conversation: Douglas Brunt is the author of the new book The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel: Genius, Power, and Deception on the Eve of World War One. It tells the story of Rudolf Diesel, inventor of the diesel engine, who disappeared mysteriously while traveling by ship in 1913. Diesel was a celebrity inventor at the time. His disappearance sparked speculation that he was murdered by powerful figures like John D. Rockefeller or Kaiser Wilhelm II, who had motives related to Diesel's inventions that threatened their business interests. Brunt became fascinated by the diesel engine and Rudolf Diesel's story when deciding to repower a boat he bought with diesel engines. He learned diesel engines are more efficient, stable, and safer than gasoline engines. In researching Diesel's life, Brunt found there was little written about him in English and the mystery around his disappearance was compelling. Though officially ruled a suicide, Brunt presents a theory of what really happened to Diesel backed up by intelligence experts.
