    Silence and Struggle: The Filmmaker on 'Quiet Voices in a Noisy World' (Ft. Alan Govaner)


    In this powerful episode, we sit down with writer, poet, filmmaker, and community advocate Alan Govaner for a profound discussion that bridges art and history. Alan shares his journey, beginning with a fascinating segment on how writers "become vintage" like fine wine.


    The conversation then moves to Alan’s dedicated work within African American communities in the U.S., including his effort to showcase a generation of African American photographers at the Jasper museum. We dive deep into his documentary, "Quiet Voices in a Noisy World: The Struggle for Change in Jasper, Texas," which explores the heart of a community scarred by tragedy and fueled by resilience.


    Alan provides essential context, discussing the painful history of the James Byrd Jr. lynching and the lasting impact of the slave narrative documented in the 90s book "Untold Story." This is a conversation about art as activism, the profound resolve of people striving for freedom, and the critical importance of keeping "quiet voices" heard in a noisy world.

  • The Call to Climb with James Robbins
    Oct 26 2025

    -The call to climb

    - James Robbins

    - What is lyrical poetry?


    This episode takes a deep dive into the obstacles holding us back from our true potential with author and personal growth strategist James Robbins. Drawing from the core themes of his transformative fable, The Call to Climb, Robbins explains that the path to fulfillment isn't found in external goals, but through internal self-discovery.


    The conversation explores powerful psychological "gems" by connecting modern personal growth with the timeless wisdom of Carl Jung's analytical psychology. Robbins discusses the critical role of the unconscious in shaping our reality, introducing:


    The "Copy-Paste Life": How recurring patterns and plateaus are signs of an unconscious loop that keeps us stuck, preventing us from realizing our highest purpose.

    The "Appointment with the Soul": A concept, inspired by Jungian thought, that calls us to intentional introspection and self-knowledge to break free from fear and external expectations.


    Discover how confronting your unconscious is the key to clarity, courage, and ultimately, an enriched journey toward your authentic self.

  • The Definition of Insanity | Is Suffering a Currency?

  • Psychology and Success
    Sep 25 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with the uniquely qualified Albert Bramante—a psychology professor, talent agent, and author of Rise Above the Script.


    We explore how his dual career provides a rare lens into the modern creative's psyche, bridging the gap between academic theory and the raw, real-world challenges of the entertainment industry. Bramante reveals how the most talented individuals are often held back not by a lack of skill, but by their own internal narratives.


    Join us as we deep-dive into the psychological struggles of today's creatives, from overcoming imposter syndrome and the fear of rejection, to understanding how to "rise above the script" and truly own your potential.
