The Essential Alchemy of Man and Woman | Julie Dean Richards Spirit Gym with Paul Chek 2025-05-27 | As modern culture claims it strives for equality between the sexes, why does our society feel more unequal than ever, especially for women?This inequality many of us feel stems from the existing patriarchal stranglehold on society that often leaves women competing with men for the very same things, yet feeling unfulfilled emotionally, mentally, spiritually and sexually.

Think You Understand Bitcoin?

Whether you interact with the Internet daily or not, you can’t deny that it’s changed your life.Some believe we’re living in a similar inflection point today with the rise of Bitcoin, a decentralized form of cryptocurrency separated from the control of people, business entities and even banks, due to the continued corruption of the world’s financial system.Former Oxford-trained physicist and Wall Street trader turned entrepreneur Joe Bryan reveals how our current financial system really works and who it actually serves (not us!), and why Bitcoin could transform the world — If you fix the money, you fix the world… — this week on Spirit Gym.During their conversation, Paul and Joe recommend watching the video What’s the Problem? that connects the dots about the world’s financial problems, its root causes and how Bitcoin may solve them.
