On this day, 56 years ago, the Stonewall Inn uprising ignited a movement.

Sparked by a police raid and fueled by decades of oppression, queer folks—many of them trans women of color—fought back and lit the fire of LGBTQ+ resistance that still burns today. In honor of that courageous stand, we’re releasing the final two episodes of our Pride series. These stories aren’t just celebration—they’re remembrance, reflection, and a call to keep showing up.  
More about the Stonewall Riots.  
Check out the Stonewall Inn Today!  
Wikipedia says  

Now…  You’ve been meaning to start it. Finish it. Do the thing. Indigo sees you. 💜⚡  

This episode tackles that sneaky static that makes us freeze, fumble, or fiddle with our Post-Its instead of our passions. James brings a big ol’ blend of humor, heart, and physics metaphors (hi, Newton!) to show how we turn stuckness into stunning momentum.  

From perfectionism to procrastination, we smash the shame and celebrate the sacred little "boop" that gets us moving. Kinetic energy, baby—it's a vibe. No more waiting for the perfect moment. This is the moment.  

So toss your to-do list guilt and join the joy juggernaut. 🌀✨

🎧 Listen now and go from static to stellar.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Hello, friends, So happy to have you here with me
today at Radical Joy. If you've been here before, welcome back.
If this is your first time with me, well I'm
glad you're here. Each week, i'm here with you talking
to myself about things that weigh on my mind and heart,
hoping if you're dealing with something similar, we can adjust
our perspectives as you listen. Hey, if you're struggling with

(00:34):
something that needs immediate attention, please know that help is available,
just asle nine eight eight nationwide in the US to
reach the Mental Health and Suicide Crisis Hotline. All of
us here at CLA Studios believe that mental health is
a vital part of our well being. The more people
I meet and the more places I go, the more

(00:56):
I realize how important it is to make people aware
of the fact that there is no shame in enjoying
the parts of our lives that are incredible. It's time
for some Radical Joy, and this week, the three fingers
pointing back at me are for the color indigo, represented
in this episode by the Static and the Kinetic, part

(01:17):
six of a seven part series for Pride Month. As
Carrie and I were talking about these kinds of things.
We had a fantastic meeting a while back to discuss
Pride Month. Ever since we started Radical Joy, we want
to do something special for Pride Month, and for whatever reason,
June continued to sneak up boss on us. And now

(01:39):
we got on top of it, and I'm really proud
to say that we had this fantastic meeting. We went
through all seven colors of the rainbow, and I'll be honest,
the one that gave me the most moment for pause
is going to be the one we're talking about today. Indigo.
Reason being, I love the word. I think it's a

(02:00):
gorgeous word. I knew a friend who had a daughter
by the name of Indigo, and I thought it was
such a great name, a cool word. But I'll be
very honest, the concept of the color and the color
itself escaped me. I look at it and it's like, Okay,
that kind of reminds me of that cornflower blue crayon

(02:22):
that you used to have in your box that you
never really did anything with, or maybe you did. I
was not a fan of cornflower. I never thought it
colored as deeply or as fully as the crayon suggested.
I thought it fraudulent. Therefore it stayed in the box.
It was the first to be sacrificed if we needed
something for an arts and crafts project, etc. So when

(02:46):
we started talking about indigo, I'll be honest, I held
just a little bit of a reservation in my heart
for it, just because I don't know much about said color.
And then it started to sort of manifest itself into
well what can we do with that? Because that is
a pretty strong feeling for such an innocuous topic. So

(03:07):
what can we do with that? Well, the thing that
I came to figure on it was maybe, since it
is sort of an in between color as far as
I'm concerned, that it's not necessarily an emotion as much
as it is a state of being. And that's whenever
the static and the kinetic came into play, and I

(03:28):
was like, Okay, great, so let's get on with the
static and kinetic. We don't need all this exposition, gotcha heard,
Let's jump on it static versus kinetic. I think that
a lot of people, myself included, suffer occasionally from a
situation where we sort of get stuck, whether it is
a routine of wake, prepare, care, work, come home, cook, clean,

(03:58):
perhaps spend a little quiet time with your people, and
then back to bed. And though if planned just right,
that can be a wonderful thing, that can be a
very fulfilling existence and a very grand life. You find
the people you like, you make a family with them,

(04:19):
crazy your kids you actually like them too. You all
have this wonderful life together, and it falls into a routine.
And though some days that can be absolutely wonderful, others
you start to wonder, what else there is absolutely for
those of us who don't necessarily have families. What if

(04:40):
it's a very similar situation with work, or a similar
situation with partner, or a similar situation with your art
or your creative outlet. You find yourself in a place
where you maybe you're just going through the motions, and
though there is motion in the literal definition of the
phrase going through the motion, you find yourself in a

(05:02):
static place, in a static state of being. May I
be the first to offer that that is a really
difficult place to find oneself in and be able to
get out as easily as the realization came. I say
this because I often have a little roundabout with the

(05:24):
whole static situation. I let a few days get by
without accomplishing the goals that I set out to accomplish,
and all of a sudden it goes from one days
to do list to the next, to the next. The
next thing you know, I have a week of crumpled
to do list in the trash can with the same
unfinished task on it, and by this point it feels

(05:46):
as though it is unsurmountable, because even though the task
has not really gotten any larger or more difficult, the
fact that it has been on the list unfinished for
a few days gives it more heft, if you will.
So the thing that I have come to realize is
that I can't allow that heft to accumulate if I

(06:06):
can help it. And those days may have passed, and
it feels as though it continues to slide farther back
on the stovetop or further down the priority list. I
think it's important to know that you can literally, we
can literally pick up at any point and start doing

(06:27):
the thing. Whatever the thing is, it's not something we
have to sweat. It's something that we can be mightily
embarrassed about or ashamed of. And then what we do
is we pick up the ball and we run to
give us a sport ball metaphor. You don't have to
continue thinking that that ball is weighing heavier and heavier

(06:48):
every day it doesn't get done on the to do list.
What you can do is realize that it's just another
task on that list, and you're going to pick it
up today and you're going to make some sort of
headway on it. Crazy thing I keep running into myself
is the fact that once I actually start to make
any progress whatsoever on said to do list item, it

(07:11):
gets done in record time. You want to talk about frustrated, irritated,
and just absolutely altogether pissed off a little bit that
eleven minutes later, the thing that has weighed on my
back like a silver backed gorilla is now no bigger
than a pygmy marmoset. That's right. I just busted out

(07:32):
some National Geographic Trading cards on anybody and everybody listening
to the sound of my voice right now. It is
crazy to me to watch something go from static to
kinetic so easily. All it takes is a nudge. And
whenever I say that, what I'm thinking in my mind,
the picture that I have is one fingertip that gets

(07:52):
from a crook to a straight boo, and all of
a sudden, the whole thing starts to move. We get
into a mindset that this thing continues to add mass
because it continues to go from to do list to
to do list instead of the done list. And that's
just not the case. That just isn't the truth of

(08:14):
the matter. It builds that nonsensical mass in our brains
because now it's stuck in the procrastination loop, and part
of us thinks that it's going to take more energy
than it does to get it out of that orbit
around the to do list to break free. Finally, scratch

(08:35):
that off the list, throw it on the pile of done,
and move on to whatever is pressing next. Static it
always reminds me of Newton. I can't remember which lot is,
but objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Objects
at rest exactly needs some motion to get them going again. No,
that's not what Newton said. But you know where I'm

(08:56):
going with this. You need to put a little oomph
behind it. We do, and that's honestly, nine times out
of ten, that's all you need. It does not require
an enormous amount of effort to get your static body
into a kinetic state of motion, and I continue to

(09:16):
find myself and examples of this in my own life.
It's so frustrating, and also on the other side of
the coin, it's a huge relief that once I start
the thing, how quickly it gets done, and if I
may be so bold, it gets done well. It's not
that I'm just trying to hurry and finish it to

(09:36):
get it off the list. Whenever I actually start doing
the thing, there is an immense out of satisfaction that
goes into completing said task, because it's the great white
whale of your to do list. Now, I'm making a
pretty big assumption that we all have it to do list.
I know I do. I have colored post its or

(09:57):
these little colored note cards that I got at the
dollar store, and every day I got to redo it
because I've marked off so many things and a few
things carry over, and that little piece of paper is
so manky. Jeez, Louis. I just beat it to death
in my pocket, and I've scribbled and I'm scratched, and
it's ripped and this, that and the other. Or I've

(10:19):
pushed it in and out of a pocket so much
it started to become less paper and more like a cloth. Yeah, exactly,
it's moved that much in twenty four hours. I know
I'm not proud of it, but I kind of am
at the same time. And it really just comes down
to being able to look at it understand that it
is not some everest in your way. All it is

(10:41):
is a mole hill that you keep pushing farther and
farther back, so it feels as though it's a track,
and it just isn't. It's sitting there and it's weighing down.
That's another thing too. It's more like a burden than
it is anything else. And it's not like it's heavy.
What it is is cumbersome. Have you ever gotten something

(11:04):
from Amazon or whatever and it comes it's honestly, it
is just overkill extreme because you order something and it
gets shipped to you and for whatever reason, the thing
is about as big as your fist, but the packaging
in the box is about the size of a frigidare right,
And it comes to your door and you have to
bring it inside and you're like, what the ever loving

(11:27):
and you pick it up. Thing does not weigh anything
at all. What it is is just gigantic and honking
and trying to navigate it through the door frame and
to get it inside the house without stepping on a
lego or taking off a pinky toe on a table
leg and looking around it to make sure that you

(11:48):
don't trip or run into something fragile or pointy or
someone else in the house. That can be a little difficult.
Not because the item is heavy, but because it is
just cumbersome. It is so large. It feels like it
should be too difficult to carry, but it isn't. And

(12:10):
why because we just got underneath the sucker and lifted.
But now because for whatever reason, it has grown to
such an enormous size in our perspective, it can be unwieldy, inconvenient.
So what do we do with it? We luck that
sucker in and we cut her open, and we get

(12:34):
out whatever is in the middle, and we do business
with it. Whatever that is, whatever this item was that
you ordered from wherever that has now arrived. Now what
you do is you break down the box, because it's
done its job. It was the vehicle. It was the
capsule to the whole thing that sat on your to
do list for however, many exchanges from one day to another,

(12:54):
and you finally got the thing done. And now instead
of it being something that weighs down your post with
this imaginary girth and depth and awful that you literally
made up yourself. We made up ourselves. You get it done,
and you cut away the extra, and now you've got
left is the thing in the middle, which is all

(13:16):
you ever wanted in the first place. Perfect, break down
the box, fold it up, take it to the dumpster,
put it on the side of the road. Whatever it
is we got to do, we got to get rid
of that. It doesn't behoove us, it doesn't serve, and
so it did protect whatever it is that we were
doing from us. Honestly, Now what we can do is

(13:42):
move forward with whatever, because that is done, That is finished,
that is over and behind this rear view mirror, and
thank goodness, it's finally done. What other things do we
have in our life like that? Static? Well, I meant
to do it. I've been meaning to get around to that.
Or here we go country folk that I know and love.

(14:03):
I was fixing too, and then something else happened. Yes,
oh boy, that's a story I could tell over and
over again. If I got a nickel lord, I could
get me in a flight somewhere for no money out
of pocket, because it would have just been them stack
of nickels from me fixing too well. I'm still studying

(14:24):
on it, or I don't think I'm quite ready yet.
I'm looking forward to but I don't feel quite ready yet.
Let me tell you something. Just had my Ted Talk.
If that gives you any kind of timeline as to
when I'm recording this, I'll be honest. I was not
thrilled with my performance. I watched the tape. I got

(14:47):
myself a bootleg and I recorded it on my own phone,
and I just was not pleased with it. I wasn't
happy with what I was wearing. I wasn't happy with
the way that I didn't a little cha shaw on stage.
I wasn't happy that I skipped around owned in the
script that I studied for quite a while, clearly not
as much as I should have. I had people in

(15:07):
the audience. I had six friends in Nimeha, Netherlands and
my Ted Talk to watch me succeed, and I could
not tell you how excited I was about all of that.
And it's one of those things. Now that it's done,
I feel as though it needs a little space and

(15:27):
grace because I'm not thrilled with the way that it
all turned out. People who were there gave me very
honest feedback. Some were very complimentary, some were extremely honest.
I appreciate them both tremendously. My favorite of the night,
my friend tells me you were way, way, way, way

(15:50):
above average. Thank you, brilliant. That is honesty and kindness
and directness. It is such a beautiful amalgamation of all
the things that I need out of an honest evaluation

(16:14):
from someone I care about and admire very much. It
was wonderful. And then you got your hype men, the
people who blow you up even though maybe you're not
feeling great about it. You need that too, because you
need to be just a little easier on yourself. And
then you got folks that just don't know what to
say because they don't know to hype you. They don't

(16:34):
know you quite well enough. They came out of the
kindness of their hearts, so they're just like, it was
so fun perfect, Thank you. You realize that I'm feeling
very insecure about the whole thing right now, and you
saw it in real time and you are delivering the
goods I am relating this story to tell us all

(16:57):
that perfect should not be the thing that puts the
brakes on your dreams. If you're waiting for perfect, in
my estimation from all of my life experiences, and there
are many, not a flex, just an observation, waiting for

(17:22):
perfect is going to make your destination get farther and
farther away if you ever get there at all. There
are so many things here now, so many trophy memy
things that I could say right now, and I'm gonna so.
If you've already seen them in your newsfeeds or your

(17:42):
scrolls or whatever, bear with me. Done is better than perfect.
Your expectations of your performance are probably head and shoulders,
if not more, above everyone else in the do the thing.

(18:06):
Don't let the opinions of others slow you down. Why
take criticism from someone whose life you would not care
to copy. Some of these are absolutely gonna be a
little bit of a paraphrase situation, But I'm okay. The
reason I'm telling you this is because I took the leap.
I asked the question, I did the bold thing. I

(18:28):
looked online, I homeworked until I found the person I
needed to talk to to get this opportunity. I prepared,
I studied, I repeated. I got to the day of
and I had a honest to goodness, I think I
was close to fifty percent. Audience was my was my
friend group that came to see me do this, And

(18:51):
still I don't feel as though I performed to my
full capacity. For whatever reason, I'm not blaming anything on this.
It just came together in a way that I had
not anticipated. I was nervous as hell, I was so shaky,
and usually I can send that in a different direction.
I can turn that nervous energy into charm or charisma

(19:15):
or nervous laughter that for whatever reason, others like to join.
Thank God, and this just turned into something that felt
so important and so large and so heavy, when all
it was was a room full of my friends who
came to see me succeed. And so many things that
we give so much size and weight too in our

(19:38):
lives are exactly that. My actors out there, anyone who's
ever done a performance, who's ever gone to a job
interview or an audition, same thing. They call it by
a different name. Honest to God, it's the exact same thing.
You walk in the room and that person behind the table,
I honestly believe hopes for your success. Why because if

(20:02):
you get it right, I mean even close to right,
you have just saved them a lot more pain, trouble,
and difficulty. Super check, got it. I honestly think there
are fewer people out there that want to see us
fail than there are people out there who would love
to see us fly. Is that overly optimistic? I don't care.

(20:26):
The realism of that specific situation matters not to me.
Just so we are so unbelievably crystal clear on that.
Here's another MEMI fun for you. The opinions of others
are about me, are none of my business, none of it.
So what people think of me when I finish this

(20:49):
thing that was supposed to be whatever in my life,
as long as I can walk away happy from it,
that's all I need. And I think I let myself
get caught up in the perfection and the perceived importance
of this milestone event in my life instead of just
going and trusting the fact that I have done this

(21:10):
so many times. And I was speaking on something I
knew so much about. I was so confident in the topic.
It's about creativity, It's about finding joy in the things
that you do and not letting that fall by the
wayside when we get stuck in things like jobs and
how it all pertains and feeds into or resonates with

(21:33):
artificial intelligence. Great perfect and looking at things today in
the light of days. Ooh, wish I hadn't said that. Ooh,
my extemporaneous got a little over off into a no
man's land or geez, that pause felt a lot shorter
on stage. I was trying to slow everything down because

(21:53):
number one, my entire audience was Dutch first language Dutch,
so I wanted to slow it down about ten to
twenty percent to make sure that any colorful vocabulary came
out very clearly that I enunciated very clearly, which when
I watched the video made me think, oh my god,
pick up the base whenever. What I need to do

(22:18):
in situations like that is give it less weight. Yes,
it is important, it is absolutely important. Yes, I prepared,
I came to the rehearsals, I have communicated clearly with
coordinator and colleague, and now it's time to do the thing.
And I got up on the stage on that fuzzy

(22:39):
red carpet with that black sign behind my head, and
I just wish I had done differently. Perfect is gonna
get you in a world a hurt for a lot
of these things, because if you don't jump, you may
never get off the carpet. I read another thing that

(23:01):
said I read a lot of things about trying to
adjust my mindset to make sure that I think like
a person with immense financial wealth. Okay, I am a
very very wealthy man in life experience and connection and friends,
and I think talent A pardon me if that hits

(23:21):
you the wrong way. But wow, I'm there are days
I wake up I'm like Geez, Louise, I'm just so
happy that I was born with the skills and the
gifts that I have. Thank you Mama and Deed and
everybody that had a part in nurturing and cultivating that
in me. I'm so unbelievably grateful because the life that
I have led has been so full in every direction, deep, wide, long,

(23:47):
all of the things. And though I think each one
of us has a different set of skills, there are
things I think all of us know in our heart
of hearts, even though others may have tried to sort
of hide our lights under a bushel or taught us
some kind of tall, poppy bullshit nonsense. There are things

(24:11):
we do that we know we do well, and sometimes
we just have to sort of live in that so
that whenever things that we are not perhaps as comfortable
doing across our paths, we can find a way to
integrate that confidence and the thing that we do well
into this new, uncomfortable thing, Because new and uncomfortable is

(24:33):
exactly where we need to stay if we want to
flex and grow and expand and continue to get again bigger, better, stronger, kinder.
You hear me talk about it all the time, and
that's what I want for all of us. Why ay
it feels great? You want to talk about top of
the world. You want to talk about swagger to beat

(24:55):
the band, That's exactly what it is. If you know
you can go in there and crush it, it ain't
bragging if you can back it up, mama, So do it.
Backet that up, do the thing and own it. This
continues to play into the idea of static and kinetic

(25:18):
kinetic keep it moving. Just like we were talking about earlier,
a body in motion tends to stay in motion. And
with more of these things that you continue to add
and do your trick bag of awesome. You will collect weight,
real weight and heft in what you have to offer,
and that will provide greater momentum. So it will be

(25:40):
more difficult to bring you to a static position. Why
cause you are shucking and jiving, daddy, you are doing
the thing. And I think that the more we find
ourselves in a position or a place of motion and
growth and just keep it moving, it's really easy to

(26:02):
take on other things that will continue to build that momentum. Granted,
along the same lines and the discussion of physics in
this metaphor situation, if you get too much weight at
one time, it can start to drag. So what do
we do? We continue to assess. We check back in
with ourselves, just making sure, Okay, I got a lot

(26:22):
on the plate. It feels really good right now. I'm
getting a lot done because I know I must, because
the deadline is looming, and I am feeling ninety two
percent prepared, which leaves me eight percent totally unprepared. And
I'm just gonna either get that other eight or I'm
gonna rely on all these other gifts to make sure
that I have a bridge. But I'm gonna cross by

(26:46):
hook or crook hell or high water. Were gonna get
over it? Yes, yes we are, because I tell you failure.
Oh man, I want to get this right. I mentioned earlier.
I was a paraphrase quite a bit because I saw
this and I love it. Whenever I study increasing financial wealth,
let's go back to that, and here we are. God,

(27:08):
we've taken such a big loop. Huzzah. It's talking about
how the magnificently wealthy people who have like the generational wealth,
they know that failure is nothing but a learning opportunity.
In so many cases, failure is not the end of
your life. Sure it can be embarrassing. So what embarrassed?

(27:30):
Why because people you know, saw you do something that
wasn't one hundred percent on your first or second or
seventeenth or four hundred and twenty second try. But every
time you do it you get better and closer. Who cares?
Who gives a single hoot what those people think about

(27:52):
you while you are growing and doing your thing? Nobody,
and if they do, they're is misplaced. There ain't no
hoots supposed to be given about folks like that. If
they're so concerned with it, ask them how you can
do it better if they've got constructive criticism for it,

(28:13):
so that I can do better and I can make
a better go of it next time. Who check these
years under these cans. I am all about it. Let
me in on it. If all you've got is a
jeering word or a snicker, chortle or scoff, you can
just hold on to it, because I sure don't need it,
and you can throw that in the clearance right for

(28:33):
all I care. That is not something we'll be taken
to the Bullard house. Nay, uh uh, I don't need it,
because nine times i'd attend somebody who's gonna pull that
is somebody who's just a little bit envious that you
had the balls to do it in the first place,
or the lady balls or the everybody else balls to
do it. However you want to look at it, Yes, absolutely,

(28:55):
And you know what I'd rather be in that group.
Put me in the group that got busted up because
they took the jump. Watch me fly, mother plucker. Yes,
I'm just I love this topic. I love that we
came together on this idea between the static and the Connecticut.

(29:16):
I do the Connecticut. Nay, static and kinetic. I think
it's a great thing to think about. I think it's
a wonderful thing to ponder whenever you're looking at something
that you just feel is insurmountable, if it looks like
something that's just way too big to sort, I would
like to encourage you to look again, make a list,
write it down. Put your insecurities to white. As you

(29:38):
think you can't handle something like that down, write it down.
Once you look at it on paper, I think you'd
be amazed to see how much more handleable that situation is,
how much more easily that mountain is to climb. All
you gotta do is look at it right and get moving.

(30:02):
I love the time we get to spend it there,
My goodness, I do. I tell you what. This time
just flies by for me whenever we're in the right spot.
If this is your first episode of Radical Joy, welcome.
We are thrilled you're here. Thank you for being with us.
If you're the kind of person who likes to leave her,
if you please do so on whichever platform where you're listening,
leave us a five star review, take a screenshot, send

(30:24):
that to us so we can reward you for your
loyalty and kindness with some swag. This is season three
and we've got a whole new look, and we would
love to send you some brand new merch from Radical
Joy Podcasts. More than likely it's going to be a sticker,
so you can put that on a water bottle, or
a journal or a laptop wherever you feel like sticking
a sticker, letting people know where you're spending your time

(30:46):
whenever you're podcast listening. If this is not your first episode,
welcome back. Thank you for being a listener, Thank you
for being part of our family. Please never forget just

(31:07):
time to share a moment of joy and hope with me.

there's something else in there that fires you up, rekindles
the joy in you. Hey, spread the word. If you
got something out of being with us today, we welcome
your thoughts and suggestions. Now. I rarely run out of
things to talk about, but if there's something I haven't
covered that's on your mind or heart, I want to

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
