Travis Pastrana

Listen to "Travis Pastrana From Evel Live On History" on Spreaker. Evel Live is an unprecedented three-hour live event happening Sunday, July 8, at 8PM ET (5PM PT) and is part of HISTORY'S second annual car week. American professional motorsports star Travis Pastrana will honor legendary daredevil Evel Knievel by attempting three of his most dangerous feats in Las Vegas, Nevada, all while riding a modern day recreation inspired by the motorcycle Knievel used. These stunts include: breaking Knievel’s record jump over the length of 52 cars, another record-breaking jump over 16 full size buses, and aiming to make history as the first person to successfully jump the Caesars Palace fountain on a bike similar to the one Knievel used 50 years ago – an attempt that ended with a crash that left Knievel grasping for life. If Pastrana rides away from all three, he will be the only person to successfully beat two of Knievel’s distance records and land a jump over the fountain on a v-twin motorcycle. All of this will happen in the span of just three hours, and HISTORY will capture every exhilarating, nerve-wracking moment live. Alongside the three epic jumps will be live interviews with Knievel and Pastrana family members, archival footage of the history behind Knievel’s many daring jumps, and expert analysis. Evel Knievel was the world’s first iconic daredevil and created a legacy that inspired generations and left audiences in awe of his audacious feats. Pastrana has stepped into Knievel’s shoes as America’s modern-day daredevil. Inspired by his predecessor, Pastrana was the first person ever to land a double backflip on a motorcycle.

Elyssa Friedland

Listen to "Elyssa Friedland Releases The Intermission" on Spreaker. Would you walk away from your marriage in order to save it? That is the provocative question at the heart of acclaimed author Elyssa Friedland’s highly anticipated second novel, THE INTERMISSION, an irresistible and incisive portrait of a marriage at a crossroads, told from the perspectives of the husband and wife—each with something to hide. After five long years, the unshakable confidence Cass Coyne felt as a bride is gone. Her husband, Jonathan, on the other hand, is still smitten. It’s true that the quirks he once found charming in his wife–her high standards, her refusal to clean the dishes–are beginning to grate. But for him, these are minor challenges in a healthy relationship. So it comes as a complete shock to Jonathan when Cass suddenly requests a marital “intermission”: a six-month separation during which they’ll decide if the comfortable life they’ve built is still the one they both want. What ensues is a tightly-wrought “he said, she said” account of their relationship as the couple lives separate lives on opposite coasts, reuniting once a month for an elaborate custody swap of their beloved dog. But as the months pass, they begin to see that calculated silences just like these have helped to drive them apart–and that it may finally be time to confront the blistering secrets they’ve been avoiding. THE INTERMISSION is a poignant examination of the challenges and compromises of a shared life and a deeply moving exploration of the secrets we keep from those we love most. Fans of Liane Moriarty will be drawn to its themes of trust, intimacy, and skeletons in the closet, while its references to gender and power dynamics in Hollywood are both captivating and timely.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 114

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 114" on Spreaker. Too many times we get caught up in conversations with coworkers and friends that seem to lean hard on how others treat them. Even my father would complain about how decision makers and worker bees endlessly took from him. He felt abused by the system of leadership and those that follow. When we enter those moments of exchange is it truly taking? We all knew what the snake was when we picked it up. Why should any of us feel shocked as to who what and why something is no longer within the grips of our finger tips? The dull ache is what feeds so many away from the center of a very good thing. What once seemed productive and constant eventually eroded due to that burning invisible pain of people taking things away. It's not always what you were hired to bring forward but rather the extra hours put in to help relieve someone of their stress and questions. To build upon the trails and trials of trying to extend the invitation of one day holding a position of decisions being observed and laid out by your own experiences. It doesn't always work that way. Your knowledge in this present state is free. The cost of consulting is an expense most don't want to take on so businesses rely on personal experiences to help build their platforms. Don't get caught up in that game. Your job interviews should be focused only on the position they have open. Stay away from lending your past performances to their growing needs. It doesn't make you more valuable only vulnerable. Then this thought hit me. Being a Christian I realize in all things I have lived and continue to receive none of this belongs or has ever belonged to me. I heard in my heart this morning, "I put that fruit on your vine so others can grow as you have grown. It was given to you so others can take." A very difficult place to stand. Is your talent up for grabs? Are you holding the door open for others to pass you by? If that's how it feels are you being selfish with these horrid feelings of not wanting to easily give up your knowledge? Is it ok to be protective or should the fields that which we mend and fill with seeds be the source of energy for others to find their own faith and success?

David Sanger

Listen to "David Sanger Releases The Perfect Weapon" on Spreaker. In THE PERFECT WEAPON, New York Times national security correspondent David Sanger traces the escalation of cyberwarfare, and explores how wars can now be won-or lost-without a shot being fired. For seventy years, the thinking inside the Pentagon was that only nations with nuclear weapons could threaten America's existence. But that assumption is now in doubt: in a world in which almost everything is interconnected-phones, cars, electrical grids, and satellites-everything can be disrupted, if not destroyed. In THE PERFECT WEAPON (on sale June 19), New York Times national security correspondent and bestselling author David Sanger vividly details how this new revolution, being conducted largely in secret, is reshaping global power. "Cyberweapons are so cheap to develop and so easy to hide that they have proven irresistible for large and small powers alike," Sanger writes. "Because such attacks rarely leave smoking ruins, Washington remains befuddled about how to respond. Our adversaries have realized that it's a great way to undercut us without being made to pay any real price for such actions." Focusing largely on the "Seven Sisters" of cyber conflict-the United States, Russia, China, Britain, Iran, Israel, and North Korea-THE PERFECT WEAPON is the dramatic story of how cyber conflict has expanded since the revelation of the American/Israeli attacks on Iran's nuclear program. Sanger exposed the story of Washington's role in those attacks six years ago, in his book CONFRONT AND CONCEAL. Now he explores how great and small powers alike have moved into a new era of constant sabotage, misinformation, and fear, in which everyone is a target. A decade ago, there were three or four nations with effective cyber forces; now there are more than thirty. As of early 2018, the best estimates suggest there have been upward of two hundred state-on-state cyberattacks over the past decade or so-a figure that describes only those that have become public. Yet as the global cyber conflict took off, America turned out to be remarkably unprepared. Its own weapons were stolen from the American arsenal by a group called Shadow Brokers and were quickly turned against the United States and its allies. Even while the United States built up a powerful new Cyber Command, it had no doctrine for how to use it. Deterrence failed. When under attack-by Russia, China, Iran or North Korea-the government was often paralyzed, unable to use cyberweapons when America's voting system, its electrical system, and even routers in citizens' homes had been infiltrated by foreign hackers. American citizens, Sanger concludes, have become the collateral damage in a war being fought in foreign computer networks and along undersea cables.

Remove Your Fake Self

Listen to "Removing Your Fake Self" on Spreaker. Too often I've been accused of being way overboard positive. It truly is the way I live. For some sick reason the higher power has gifted the trails carved into the mountain with this ability to look at doubt, fear and shame and give it a different face. Two years ago I questioned that attitude. In my daily writing the question was brought up, "If someone screams out you're the man or you rock! You instantly label them fake. Why then when writing don't you do the same when putting words on paper during the presence of a storm or new season?" It's a very transparent question! Why is it easy to spot the fake motivators on the outside but I refuse to see the fake inspiration planted on my personal paths of choice? Dealing with it daily doesn't qualify me to be a professional. Because I am familiar with my mindsets and patterns I'm able to head the monster off at the pass. In doing so the decision to fake the emotion does in fact inspire the next decision to be that of less weight and drama. Getting around it requires a deeply dug in relationship with the inner core of thinking versus the hard working dedicated family guy and employee on the outside. I'm not afraid to let both sides of my personality work it out. If you were to read the daily writing you'd think I was interviewing a Rock Star or actor. The questions are genuine in the way that accountability meeting actuality. I'm not fake with the replies either side delivers. It challenges the indifference to be more open to acceptance which allows the multiple layers to be seen differently by way of accepting things more openly and compassionately. Friends and family members aren't always the best place to run to while being challenged. You've been living this life how long? Your personal experience is thicker than a book. I'm not saying to stay free of great local friends on the outside. I just believe a conversation with your inner and outer self goes a very long way. Stop ignoring those voices in your head and heart. Listen to them with love while being strong in discipline.
