Florida Police Abuses Shocking Harm to Vulnerable

Success doesn't happen overnight, contrary to popular desire.  Joe and Marc were teammates at the University of Richmond where both of them helped turn a doormat program into a national contender with the program winning its first A10 Championship in 1998.  Following his playing days at UR, Joe entered the NFL as the lowest level intern possible in the scouting department for the Baltimore Ravens.  But, he saw that as an opportunity. He climbed the ranks with the Ravens, spent time with the Chicago Bears, helped the Philadelphia Eagles win a superbowl, moved on to the New York Jets and is now back with the Philadelphia Eagles. 25 years later he has become one of the most respected and knowledgeable recruiters in the game .  And, every step of the way was founded on solid relationships.

What Leaders Get Wrong About Responsibility - Episode 189

What Leaders Get Wrong About Responsibility 02 - Episode 190

“Play It Again” isn’t a comeback song. It’s a confession.

DARNELL’s debut single is a raw, emotionally unfiltered apology to the woman he hurt most in the aftermath of sudden fame. Blending Hip-Hop and R&B sensibilities with familiar signature drum and bass textures, the track mirrors the internal tension of the story it tells, delicate but direct, restrained but unresolved.

Delivered in a soft, Rap-Pop vocal style, Play It Again loops like the memory DARNELL can’t escape: tender, tense, and haunted by the weight of his own actions. Best known from his time on Big Brother UK, he uses this release not to reclaim attention, but to take responsibility,  musically, publicly, and personally.

This isn’t about the spotlight. It’s about what gets exposed after it fades.

PLAY IT AGAIN

In this lecture, Christopher speaks of violence and conflict in the world and how the spiritual practitioner should approach this. Instead of laying blame, engaging in further divisiveness and aggression, we should instead examine our own tendencies towards conflict and anger, and wage war upon ourselves, engaging in the Great Battle Against the Self—Jihad al-Nafs. He spoke of cultivating peaceful and loving conditions within, which can in turn generate beautiful conditions in our environments and plant seeds of peace for future generations.

Battle Against the Self

Í þessum þætti speglum við stöðuna á CrossFit-heiminum, frá cringe CrossFiturum yfir í þróun sportsins. Við ræðum hugarfar, endurheimt og hvers vegna Ashwakanda Forever gæti verið framtíðin. Það kemur upp alls konar í „Hvort myndirðu frekar?“, við förum yfir verstu harðsperrur sem við höfum fengið, og veltum fyrir okkur alvöru spurningum: Er Íran nýi markhópurinn okkar? Hafa allir gleymt að Kína tók þátt í seinni heimsstyrjöldinni? Þátturinn blandar saman líkamsrækt, rugli og húmor sem aðeins vöðvaverkir og samfélagsmiðlaskandalar geta framkallað.

Warm Welcome to Shift Your Energy  - by Meditation Jam with Maria Rinné.
This part of my podcast is created to be your guide, your inspiration, and your companion moving through a time that is transformational where we are shifting our drive from mind to heart. 

After a lovely summer I’m happy to start up with my podcast again and In this episode of Shift Your Energy, I talk about the transition into autumn or spring,  and the common feelings of wanting to achieve more during this time (or any time).
I reflect on my personal journey of balancing achievement with the importance of being present and listening to my emotions. To connect to that feeling of true joy that comes from being enough as you are, without the constant need to achieve. Knowing that you don't have to do something to be someone. You already are someone - You.
I’ll also share some insights on how to embrace moments of stillness and the significance of emotions as guides in your life.

I hope this will inspire, maybe entertain, and shift your energy to realign with your true self, your life force and pure purpose.

Love and Light,
Maria

I’m a London-based songwriter and lyricist whose work is rooted in emotional honesty and storytelling. Best known for my impromptu singing and song-writing performances on Big Brother UK, I now step forward as a recording artist, not to reclaim fame, but to reckon with it.

My debut single "Play It Again" blends Hip-Hop/R&B sensibilities with drum and bass textures creating a genre departure that mirrors the tension within the story it tells. Delivered in a soft, Rap-Pop vocal style, the track is a confessional apology to the one beautiful soul who stood by me during the chaos and scrutiny of sudden fame.
Hey there! I'm Darnell, a London-based songwriter with a passion for crafting songs tailored for sync and pitching opportunities. As a freelance songwriter, music producer, and studio manager, I wear multiple hats to bring music to life.

Beyond the studio, I'm deeply involved in empowering others through music. I lead workshops in a young offenders' institution, offering free studio time to those reentering society. I extend this support to individuals seeking solace in music, regardless of their financial circumstances, all fostered by the connections I've built through networking and my commitment to integrity.

My journey started early, with a childhood love for literature that blossomed into a knack for writing. This early passion merged seamlessly with my fascination for 90's R&B, leading me to explore singing in choirs and talent shows.

High school marked a pivotal phase where I embraced hip-hop, expanding my creative horizon while appreciating diverse music genres like country and pop. Today, my songwriting prowess draws from this rich tapestry of experiences, complemented by my upbringing in different cultures and communities due to my military background and global travels.

My skill set spans vocals, lyrics, melody creation, and recording in Logic Pro X. I bring expertise in arrangement, light mixing, vocal production, and project management to every project. While I excel as an artist, I often step into the role of an executive producer, steering projects to success.

Let's create something magical together — weaving stories and emotions through music!

This is an accidentally funny podcast about the realities of Blackness and adult life. 

Our goal is to create a space for Black millennials to discuss and embody adult life on their own terms. We aren’t beholden to “traditional” gender or parenting roles, queerness is fluid and present in the ways we show up in our relationships and in the world, and we want to build community with other 30-something Black folx who are trying to figure this ish out.

We do “adult” differently. 


-About Daren and Jenn-

Jenn is a queer, Black feminist from Oakland. Daren is an introverted nerd and novelist from Anaheim.

They are boo’ed up and have been since 2002 when they bonded over a mutual love of Brian McKnight’s “Never Felt This Way”, their favorite Brandy lyrics, and nineties TV like Family Matters, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and Living Single. It was a shared obsession with Black cultural icons, histories, and artistry that drew Jenn and Daren to one another even though they are actually completely different personality-wise.

Jenn and Daren have always said to themselves, “Wouldn’t it be cool if we had a show?” Well, no major networks have reached out yet. So, until that happens, you can find the them here, sharing their views on race and culture and everything in between.

They are young thirty-somethings who have been married since for over a decade. Jenn and Daren have three beautiful, brilliant, radical, snarky kids who play no games.

Philosophy is the pathless path; our inborn search for Truth. It is the hope of Christopher Murphy that through his teaching endeavors he can remind others of this innate search for Truth and empower them to see the Eternal with their own eyes.
