Introducing How to Get Better at Anything from The Art of Manliness.

Follow the show: The Art of Manliness

Life revolves around learning—in school, at our jobs, even in the things we do for fun. But we often don’t progress in any of these areas at the rate we’d like. Consequently, and unfortunately, we often give up our pursuits prematurely or resign ourselves to always being mediocre in our classes, career, and hobbies.

Scott Young has some tips on how you can avoid this fate, level up in whatever you do, and enjoy the satisfaction of skill improvement. Scott is a writer, programmer, and entrepreneur, and the author of Get Better at Anything: 12 Maxims for Mastery. Today on the show, Scott shares the three key factors in helping us learn. He explains how copying others is an underrated technique in becoming a genius, why, contrary to the sentiments of motivational memes, we learn more from success than mistakes, why experts often aren’t good teachers and tactics for drawing out their best advice, why you may need to get worse before you get better, and more.

Introducing 36 - KAMALA'S ANTI GUN POLICY from World Ablaze with George Fontes.

Follow the show: World Ablaze with George Fontes

Kamala Harris' Anti Gun policies just may be the nail in the coffin for America. Her radical views, stance on further restrictions, executive orders, and hunger for power is the road map to full blown communism. With beliefs rooted in the teachings of her Marxist father, America needs to open its' eyes, and see Kamala for who she really is.

Introducing Building Community: One Spoon at a Time with Activist Jen Weaver from Our Skin: A Personal Discovery Podcast.

Follow the show: Our Skin: A Personal Discovery Podcast

When Jen Weaver was diagnosed with psoriasis in 2012 (after five years handling rheumatoid arthritis), she was 36 years old and had three busy kids. Her plaques were very visible–she said they covered her “from head to toe”--and very painful. Psoriasis meant a step into a world where people noticed her auto-immune condition for the first time, and the reaction was far from comforting. So Jen found her people, and now runs a community and resource bank called “My Spoonie Sisters” (Why spoons? Listen to find out!). In our step into history, we trace the origins of the stigma against psoriasis and the key figures in dispelling that stigma. History, and Jen, show us that education busts stigma.
