quo

We discuss disrupting the way we think about gender norms and gender rules, and by changing our thinking, how this can change the way the world functions. The ways in which some think about gender roles, develop gender rules to try to define what “normal” is, is outdated and frankly depressing. We need to empower anyone’s potential, not push them or shape them into things they are not or do not want to become. 

Ideas about gender rules and gender norms can shape destiny, and it starts when we’re young. That’s when we are most susceptible to these views, as children. Today’s “woman” and “man” doesn’t need to fit into a predefined construct anymore. A “man” is not required to be the “alpha” anymore and the “woman” is not required to be the “order taker," the secretary or just a housewife any longer either. We can build partnerships in any way that we desire today where we can take away what is feminine or masculine and just be a human. The truth is, culture and where an individual grows up in and lives does play a major role in the way these ideas mold the person, and it changes the way one formulates opinions in the brain and the effects behaviors of people.

This is the first in a series wrapped around disrupting the way we think of "norms" we've created in our society.

This is Part 2 of the 2-part series with Kute Blackson.

In the last episode with Kute Blackson, Part 1, Natalie Viglione asked Kute to provide his wisdom and insight about how to help people WAKE UP and why that's so incredibly essential to truly live!

In Part 2, we discuss Kute's new inspirational video which is all about helping people be OK with saying “F*&% Normal!" Too often the pressures of people around you asking you "why can't you just be normal" needs such a fantastic response! 

Kute Blackson is a Transformational Teacher, Guide, Author, and Speaker. A charismatic visionary who offers a fresh, bold look at spiritual awareness for a whole new generation. Kute quickly learned that the "outside-in" approach favored by so many in the personal development space had to become an inside-out approach. He decided to create his own method—a process that liberates the individual and the true self at the core and then pushes those gifts outward into the universe. Colored with experiences from his own incredible journey, Kute’s national best-selling book, You.Are.The.One., published by Simon & Schuster, shows readers how to unlock their true potential and live a life they love, through love.

Lebe Deinen Traum und träum nicht Dein Leben. Wenn Du das tust, was Du liebst, wirst Du nie mehr arbeiten müssen usw. - Wahrscheinlich kennen Sie diese Art Sprüche mittlerweile auch zur Genüge. Sie haben sich rasant verbreiet, weil sie natürlich einen wahren Kern haben. Allerdings sind sie nicht der Weisheit letzter Schluss, denn oft ähneln sie eher Motivationssprüchen, die uns aufheitern und Energie geben sollen, aber wenig hilfreich sind, wenn die nötige Klarheit fehlt, was der eigene Traum denn wirklich ist.

Selbst wenn der Weg klar scheint, weil einem ein dominantes Talent in die Wiege gelegt wurde, oder man aus einer Familie stammt, die entsprechend vorgeprägt ist, ist immer noch nicht sicher, ob es tatsächlich der eigene Weg ist, der da vor einem liegt, oder einfach nur eine bequeme und scheinbar logische Option.

Wie aber kommt man der eigenen Berufung dann auf die Schliche? Vielleicht wäre es ein guter Anfang, die Vorstellung aufzugeben, es gäbe ein vorgefertigtes Schicksal, das man entdecken und dann erfüllen könnte. Stattdessen hat es sich als äußerst hilfreich erwiesen, sich auf die Gestaltung des Wegs zu konzentrieren, sich an den eigenen Talenten und Neigungen auszurichten und dem Gefühl von Freude und Erfüllung zu folgen. Die großen Ziele schälen sich dann fast schon automatisch aus dem Nebel der Zeit und sie verändern sich immer wieder ...

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St welcomed back returning guest, former Wall St executive, whistle blower and author Nomi Prins http://www.nomiprins.com/

During this 40+ minute interview, Jason starts off by asking Nomi about her new book, All the Presidents' Bankers, and according to her research when did Wall St try to start buying off/controlling US presidents. 

Nomi talks about how she started her book in the late 19th century (1800s) and bankers like JP Morgan started cozying up up to bankers then and they ran in the same social and partying circles. 

Nomi talks about how money and political power enjoy each other's company. 

Jason and Nomi talk about the Creature from Jekyll Island and then about FDR and how FDR secretly met with lots of Wall St bankers according to Nomi's research for her book. 

Next, Jason and Nomi discuss corruption on Wall St and if it has increased since Nomi first began her career on Wall St in the 1980s. Nomi thinks corruption has increased massively because of the opaqueness of derivatives and financial products. 

Jason and Nomi discuss why corruption increased and Jason asks Nomi if the banks don't fear failure because of the Federal Reserve backstopping them.

Jason and Nomi discuss the role central banks like the Federal Reserve play in allowing bankers, hedge fund managers, etc to take enormous risk and not fear being fired, going to jail, etc. 

Next, Jason and Nomi discuss the global economy and why she thinks China is close to announcing a large QE program. Nomi thinks central bankers are coordinating their QE programs to help keep interest rates low and asset prices propped up. She thinks this can continue at least for awhile longer until interest rates go to zero in every major economy. 

Jason asks Nomi about why China, Russia and other G20 countries are creating the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, an alternative SWIFT system and doing enormous currency swaps and bilateral trade agreements. 

Nomi thinks many economic and political elites know the status quo is collapsing. 

To wrap up the interview, Jason and Nomi talk about the sickening amount of corruption in politics and if anything can be done to reduce the corruption.

Anger and frustration are common for us animal advocates. And this week we’re talking with someone who can help us by teaching us what questions we should be asking ourselves.

Deb Ozarko finished college and got a diploma in Design, Communications and Advertising. She worked in corporate and studio settings. Deb Ozarko completed an Ironman triathlon. Deb Ozarko was an aggressive, outspoken activist. And yet, none of these things are how Deb Ozarko defines herself today.

In an incredible journey from grief and anger to compassion and hope, Deb transformed her life. Her story – and the many things she learned in this lifelong lesson – are spoken of during her popular The Unplug Podcast, in her book the Status Quo Crusher and through her blog.

Deb Ozarko wants to see a revolution of love. And she joined Defender Radio to discuss her life lessons, plans and hopes with us in an in-depth and revealing interview.

Points for longevity.
