261. Alternative 'Medicine'

Does Alternative Medicine actually work? If it does work, why is it still branded as 'alternative'? And if it doesn't work, why do people invest so much time and money into it? Alternative medicine encompasses many branches, including homeopathy, chiropractic medicine, and acupuncture. So what works, and what doesn't work? What does the evidence show? Dr. Edzard Ernst joins the podcast. Check out Dr. Ernst's latest book, 'Bizarre Medical Ideas ... And the Strange Men Who Invented Them' at https://www.amazon.ca/Bizarre-Medical-Ideas-Strange-Invented-ebook/dp/B0CY1FZK9T Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

227. The Retirement Myth

In the typical preconceived framework in which we tend to view our lives, there are many steps … growing up, getting an education, finding a job, getting married, having kids, being grandparents, and ultimately - retiring. But in recent years, many have come to question what retirement really means and what it entails. So what exactly is retirement, and does society’s concept of retirement ultimately limit us in our endeavors when we get older? And if we do conform to the more traditional view of retirement, should we be seriously rethinking the age of retirmenet given the increased life expectancy of humans?

Starting a Successful Business with Little to No Money - Nathan Latka, Entrepreneur & Author of How to Be a Capitalist Without Any Capital

For this episode of the show, I interview young entrepreneur Nathan Latka who has released his first book called How to Be a Capitalist Without Any Capital, and it’s his guidebook on how to successfully start a business or side hustle without that much money at the beginning. You see, Nathan has a pretty interesting story. He basically realized that because of the Internet and social media, the possibilities and opportunities for making money were limitless. He’s started many businesses himself, his first being one where he built and sold Facebook pages (back when you could add apps and widgets to Facebook pages). The reason I wanted Nathan on the show was to talk about a very important, though sometimes overlooked, topic of personal finance — making money.

276. Freud - Sex, Psychoanalysis, and the Unconscious

Sigmund Freud was one of the most prominent figures of the 19th and 20th centuries. The founder of psychoanalysis, he's viewed as one of the fathers of modern day psychiatry and psychology. But for all the interest in Freud, there's also much intrigue around him and perhaps even confusion as to what exactly his theories were, how accurate they were, and what kind of importance they play in our modern understanding of the mind. Professor Henk de Berg joins the podcast. Professor de Berg's book on Freud - https://www.amazon.ca/Freuds-Theory-Literary-Cultural-Studies/dp/1571133011 Hosted on Acast.

252. 'God is Good'

From a young age, many of us are brought up believing that God is the embodiment of perfection - that God is good, merciful, and reflective of the values we hold so dear in our daily lives. But on closer look, the Judaeo-Christian God that is portrayed in the Old and New Testaments can often be quite violent, vengeful, and even egotistical, demanding complete and utter loyalty from his followers. So how do we reconcile the ideals we hope God would have, with the actual portrayal of God in the Bible? Dr. Pete Enns joins the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

238. Iran - Ideology, Nuclear Capability, and Threat to the West

On April 13th, Iran launched over 300 missiles and drones over Israel. While Israel’s missile defensive system was able to mitigate most damage, the attack itself was unprecedented and a frightening development to the international community. When most of us think of modern-day Iran, we think of an oppressive authoritarian regime that suppresses the rights of its people and also deeply hates the West. But how did this situation come to be? Why does Iran hate the West so fiercely? What does Iran want? And how seriously must the Iran problem be taken? There have been concerns over their nuclear weapons program for many years, and now that Iran has launched an attack, how is the world, and Israel, supposed to respond? Mark Dubowitz, a leading world expert on the Iranian threat, joins the podcast. Mark Dubowitz - https://www.fdd.org/team/mark-dubowitz/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
