This week we welcome the Belfast DJ Jude Dude to the series, supplying us with a smooth all-wax selection of deep, groovy and upbeat house, with tracks from the likes of John Tejada, Kynesis, Deep Rhythm and Denia. 

Jude says that the mix was made with the intention to improve mood, conserve positive emotions and decrease maintenance of thoughts. He has certainly been putting the Discogs hours in, digging deep into the realm of forgotten 90s house to curate a real corker of a mix. To catch more of Jude, head to Alto Radio where he has a great bi-monthly residency called Bioscaping. For now, crack open a beverage, put your feet up and enjoy some tasty and mindful beats.

Pick 'n' Mix #49: Jude Dude

Dr. James Hollis is one of the world’s leading Jungian analysts. Across a career spanning decades, he has written extensively on how we confront the unconscious, navigate midlife, and live with greater courage and self-awareness. His books include: Living an Examined Life, Under Saturn's Shadow, and a Life of Meaning. 

In this conversation, we explore: 

— The extent to which Dr. Hollis believes there is a "purposeful intelligence" at work in nature.

— How we live a larger life by asking larger questions - and the questions he finds more helpful for leading his clients to a path of enlargement

— How to distinguish between ego-based desires and those coming from a deeper place

— What Dr. Hollis learned from his near death experience in 2022. 

And more.

Jung & The Purposeful Intelligence of Nature — Dr. James Hollis

Jerry Colonna is an executive coach, author, and former venture capitalist who has been called "the CEO Whisperer." As the founder of Reboot.io, he works with leaders to foster both professional success and personal wholeness through the practice of radical self-inquiry.

In this conversation, we explore Jerry's latest book "Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong," which examines how reconnecting with our ancestral past can help us build a more compassionate future.

Expect to learn:

— How disconnection from our ancestral lineage contributes to our ability to "other" people in society today

— Why understanding your own heritage creates an empathetic bridge to those different from you

— Why letting go of the myth of meritocracy can be liberating for leaders

— The relationship between feeling worthy of love, safety, and belonging and our ability to extend those gifts to others

And more.

Jerry Colonna is a coach, writer, and speaker who focuses on leadership, business, and the practice of radical self-inquiry. He is the Co-founder and CEO of Reboot.io, a company born from the rallying cry that work does not have to destroy us. Work can be the way in which we achieve our fullest self. A graduate of Queens College, Jerry helps people lead with humanity and equanimity. His unique blend of Buddhism, Jungian therapy, and entrepreneurial know-how has made him a sought-after coach and leader, working with some of the largest firms in the country.

In his work as a coach, he draws on his experience in Venture Capital (VC) as Co-founder of Flatiron Partners, one of the most successful, early-stage investment programs. Later, he was a partner with J.P. Morgan Partners (JPMP), the private equity arm of J.P. Morgan Chase.

Along with a strong commitment to the nonprofit sector, Jerry is the author of two books: REBOOT: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up (2019) and REUNION: Leadership and the Longing to Belong. Reboot was met with critical acclaim, stirring up a big question in the hearts and minds of people: “How have I been complicit in creating the conditions I say I don’t want?” Jerry’s second book builds on this question, asking us what benefit we get from the conditions we say we don’t want.

Jerry is astounded by the fact that he lives on a farm outside of Boulder, CO near the foothills of the Rockies, and far from the streets of Brooklyn where he was born and raised. He is the father of three amazing humans, each of whom cares deeply about the love, safety, and belonging of others.
