  • Discovering Spiritual Freedom
    2024/09/16
    In this episode of the EZ Conversations Podcast, host Furkhan Dandia welcomes Mark Weisman, a self-proclaimed shaman with ancestral roots in the ancient Norse and Celtic traditions. They explore Mark's profound spiritual journey from ordaining as a Christian minister to embracing a shamanistic path influenced by his Norse heritage. Mark discusses overcoming societal programming to find spiritual and mental freedom. He shares insights on shamanism, integrating spirituality into everyday life, and the significance of small, incremental steps in personal transformation. Mark also emphasizes the need for a compassionate understanding of different spiritual perspectives and the hope at the core of human existence. Additionally, Mark promotes his show 'Whispers of the Norse' on Ethereal TV and his weekday morning affirmations on YouTube. Mark is a modern-day Úlfhe∂inn sworn to his ancestral God Ó∂inn. As a former minister with the Christian church, he has studied extensively throughout the world and arrived at his cultural, spiritual home. With several advanced degrees, he has developed successful methods of dealing with PTSD and helping his friends build coping mechanisms to get back to their lives. As a sworn Úlfhe∂inn, his primary mission is to use his gift from Ó∂inn to help friends and family overcome their obstacles and see their way to success. Mark’s easy-going personality has made him a favourite of young and old alike, as he never condemns anyone for what they believe and shows a way to help get through tough times.

  • From Radio to Podcasting: The Demise of News Consumption
    2024/09/12
    In this episode of the EZ Conversations Podcast, I chat with Julie Rose, a seasoned radio journalist with 20 years of experience and a current podcaster. Julie shares her journey from public radio reporting to becoming a podcast host, detailing her transition to her hometown of Provo, Utah, to care for her parents and the subsequent disruption in her career. She candidly discusses her challenges with daily news consumption, the emotional toll it took, and her eventual burnout. Julie elaborates on the differences between radio and podcasting, particularly podcasts' intimate, on-demand nature and the importance of building a personal connection with listeners. She also introduces her new podcast 'Top of Mind,' which seeks to provide nuanced, empathetic, and empowering news stories that challenge listeners to think deeply about complex issues. The conversation touches on the importance of conscious news consumption, recognizing emotional triggers, and the potential pitfalls and benefits of podcasting as a source of news and information. Julie has been a radio journalist for 20 years, reporting for NPR local stations and network shows like Morning Edition and All Things Considered. For seven years, she hosted a daily live interview show on BYUradio and Sirius XM 143. Since 2022, she’s been the host and executive producer of Top of Mind with Julie Rose and, in 2024, began hosting Uncomfy: Sticking With Moments That Challenge Us. Both podcasts aim to help people become better citizens, kinder neighbors, and more effective advocates. 05:48 Introduction and Guest Background 07:10 Transition from Radio to Podcasting 08:52 Challenges and Adjustments in Podcasting 11:23 Building Trust and Connection with Listeners 13:17 Creating Engaging and Empathetic Content 18:30 Personal Struggles with News Consumption 22:45 Finding Solutions and Empowerment 28:52 The Decline of Traditional News Media 29:49 The Rise of Social Media and Attention Economy 32:22 The Echo Chamber Effect 34:19 The Potential of Podcasts 41:22 Mindful News Consumption 46:19 Taking Control of Your News Diet 53:18 Final Thoughts and Resources Sponsors of the Podcast: BetterHelp: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://betterhelp.com/ez10⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for 10% off your first month of therapy WeShape: https://weshape.postaffiliatepro.com/scripts/dcfogwyuk?a_aid=FurkhanDandia&a_bid=d7508fa8 for 35% all plans.
