    Sit with Your Elders and Listen to their Stories
    Sep 16 2026
    On December 7, 1941, Roy Sigfred “Swede” Boreen had only minutes aboard the USS Oklahoma before Pearl Harbor became US history. In this season finale, his own recorded voice pulls listeners into those impossible moments: breakfast interrupted by General Quarters, a glimpse through a porthole, watertight doors, rising water, oil on his face, and four words that may have saved his life. But Roy’s testimony is more than a survival account. It is a warning about memory, silence, and what can disappear when no one asks the questions in time. Host Paul David Stanko follows the thread from family legends and lost recipes to ancient oral traditions, the mentor’s hidden purpose, and the heavy cost of leaving grief sealed away. Then, just when the episode seems to have found its final lesson, an unexpected DNA message opens a door no one is left to explain. No spoilers here — only a voice from the past, a family mystery still unfolding, and one urgent reminder: sit with your elders, ask now, and record what they still know.

  • You Have to Have Faith for This to Work

    You Have to Have Faith for This to Work
    Sep 9 2026
    What if the thing standing between you and the life you want isn't proof — it's your willingness to believe before you see it? In Episode 13 of Forgiveness, Unity, Courage & Kindness host and author Paul David Stanko cracks open the iconic 1985 vampire classic Fright Night and the line that has lived rent-free in his head for forty years: "You have to have faith for this to work on me, Mr. Vincent." From Peter Vincent's crumpled TV-prop cross to Neo meeting the Oracle, Paul David unpacks why we live in a receipts-and-reviews culture that has quietly starved us of real faith — and why our intuition is being pulled back to the front seat in an AI world where you can't even trust the video evidence anymore. This episode is a candid, funny, and surprisingly practical look at conscious creating, self-fulfilling prophecy, and the science behind expectancy effects — the placebo effect, the Pygmalion effect, and the reticular activating system that quietly decides what you notice all day. Paul David shares personal stories about landing a church choir job at 20 with nothing but faith, buying a Victorian house he had no business affording, and letting go of his rockstar identity so his real gifts could open up — mapping it all back to Chapter 13 of 42 Stories of Life, the Universe, …Everything! If you're wrestling with imposter syndrome, debt, burnout, comparison, or the modern "vampires" that whisper you're powerless, this one is a permission slip to remember you are Source Energy, you are a powerful creator, and the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.

  • The Lesson of the Snow Globe

    The Lesson of the Snow Globe
    Sep 2 2026
    Ever had your whole life flipped upside down and shaken like a snow globe? Same. In Episode 12, host Paul David Stanko unpacks the "Snow Globe Moment": that chaotic, unhinged, character-arc-defining rock bottom the universe drops on you right when you thought you had it figured out. Unpacking the moment he almost quit on the spot, Paul David shares real life moments that shook him to his core from restaurant work to exes getting arrested; this episode hits hard. The takeaway is tough love with a hug attached: stop waiting for the universe to shake your shit up. Leave the situationship. Quit the job you hate. Pick up your own snow globe and shake it yourself.
