The Man We Met Before Leaving Bali

from SECOND WIND · host John Talks About

This week we talk through why I finally launched Second Wind properly as a podcast, and how these live streams slowly turned from random conversations into a real archive of rebuilding life after redundancy.We also get into GameStop’s attempted bid for eBay, Ryan Cohen’s wider strategy, and why I’m still holding positions most people dismiss as madness while generating income through covered calls and cash-secured puts. At the same time, the insurance arbitration linked to the £13,500 hospital stay in Kuala Lumpur has officially moved into the next stage after months of delays and legal back-and-forth.There’s also airport chaos, cold plunge progress in Bali, a man boarding a flight carrying a full coconut with a straw in it, reflections on grief and adversity after listening to a podcast on the plane, and a chance meeting with a 72-year-old Scotsman in Bali that somehow summed up the entire point of this journey better than anything else this week.

WW2 - the Key Questions, answered by Laurence Rees. Laurence Rees A former Head of BBC TV History programmes, Laurence has specialized in writing books and making television documentaries about World War Two, the Nazis and Stalinism for thirty years. He won a BAFTA and a Peabody for his TV series 'The Nazis: A Warning from History' and a British Book Award for his book on Auschwitz, which is also the world's best selling book on this notorious camp. His book 'the Holocaust: A New History' was described by the Times as 'exemplary' and by the Daily Telegraph as 'the best single volume account of the atrocity ever written'. Educated at Oxford University, for several years he was a visiting senior fellow at the London School of Economics, London University. He holds honorary doctorates from the University of Sheffield and the Open University. Professor Robert Service, of Oxford University, described Rees as 'one of the world's experts on the Second World War'. Sir Max Hastings wrote in the Sunday Times, in a review of Laurence Rees' 'World War Two: Behi Wisdom's Proof JesusLifeTogether In a world of religion, ritual, hierarchy, control, money, marketing, and more flavors than 10,000 Baskin Robbins — how can we know what is Right and True? Some just give up. Bad move. JESUS LIVES and REIGNS! Some simply "go along to get along" to conform to culture and biological family. Really bad move, unless you are a lemming and don't care about the destiny someone else has chosen for you. But then JESUS, knowing this day would come, said, "By their fruit you shall know them" and "Wisdom is PROVED RIGHT by all her CHILDREN." Luke 7:35 Find some random offspring from whatever you wish you knew more about, look carefully at the second generation, and see if the gates of Hell are prevailing — as they would in a "mere words" and "mere ceremonies" attendance-based religious organization. OR, is satan getting busted in the mouth by that second generation? What is the fruit and the quality of LIVES of the children - once they can make their own choices? Then you'll Know.
