Why Your Writing Needs a Photographer’s Eye | Kirk Voclain

What does it mean to bear witness to the darkest corners of humanity — and still find light? That's the question Craig D. Forrest has lived with for more than four decades. An award-winning director and documentary filmmaker, he has covered terrorism, voodoo sacrifices, war zones, and cultic practices across more than 100 countries — and says those encounters have deepened rather than diminished his faith. In this conversation, Craig reflects on what it means to tell stories in a changing world, where technology gives almost everyone the power to tell them, but the responsibility for what we choose to tell remains human.

The Story We Choose to Tell: Storytelling in the Age of AI & Short Attention Spans | Craig Forrest

Can finding humor in the darkest experiences of our lives change the way we see them? Dave Mowry explores that question through his own experience of severe mental health struggles, homelessness, trauma, and eventually discovering stand-up comedy as an unexpected way to approach those experiences differently. He also makes an important distinction: humor can work alongside professional mental health support, but it is not a substitute for it. This is a candid conversation about pain, perspective, resilience, and finding a way forward.

Trump–Xi, Iran & the Gulf, UNGA | Irina Tsukerman | Global Politics for Leaders 76

What do we carry with us from the people who came before us—and what will we leave behind for those who come after us? For Edward Rahill, the courage of a grandmother who refused to give up became part of his own way of facing life, from an extraordinary cross-country race to the challenges of business and leadership. He sees life as a relay race: we receive something from those who came before us, and in time, we have the chance to hand it forward.

One Mile at a Time: The Lessons We Inherit and Pass On | Edward Rahill

The strongest stories can begin with knowledge that few other writers possess. For novelist and former pathologist Deven Greene, decades of experience in science and medicine shape the subjects she explores, the possibilities she can imagine, and the way she brings complex science into fiction. She believes that expertise allows her to create stories that are scientifically grounded while remaining accessible to curious readers.

Write What You Know: How Your Expertise Can Shape Great Fiction

A special conversation with Sophie Malahieude on her book “Beyond Emotions: Stop Letting Emotions Control You and Start Living with Love.”



What if difficult emotions are not something to suppress or fear, but messages that can help us understand what is happening within us? In Beyond Emotions, Sophie Malahieude explores a body, mind and spirit approach to understanding emotions, drawing on her own experience and years of work with yoga and mindfulness. In this conversation, she explains the thinking behind the book and how she approaches feeling, understanding and working through difficult emotions, particularly during periods of change, loss and transition.



Get the Book Here: https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Emotions-Letting-Control-Living/dp/B0GNGNB1YD



=======================================

Guest

Sophie Malahieude is an Emotional Balance Guide, author of Beyond Emotions, and brings 28 years of experience in yoga and mindfulness. In her book, she explores emotions through the interconnected lens of body, mind, and spirit, teaching that the body speaks before the mind understands and helping readers listen with greater awareness, transforming confusion into clarity.

Iran-US Update, Mecca Pact, Venezuela Oil Deal | Irina Tsukerman | Global Politics for Leaders 75

Most landlords don't know what a well run rental property actually looks like. They collect rent, fix things when they break, and hope for the best. Houston based property manager and investor Cameron Tope paints a clear picture of what good looks like—from tenant screening and maintenance to setting the right price and tracking the right metrics. He explains why treating rentals as active investments (not passive income) drives long term returns. This conversation gives you a practical, positive framework for managing your property the right way. Khudania Ajay (KAJ) leads the conversation

What a Well Run Rental Property Actually Looks Like | Cameron Tope

When the old maps no longer match the world, leadership cannot simply rely on more experience, better strategies, or familiar answers. Dave Schoof explores what it takes to lead when the future is uncertain and the systems around us are changing at multiple levels. The challenge is not only to adapt, but to develop the awareness, relationships, imagination, and capacity to navigate what has not yet taken shape.
