The Podcaster Community is a place where podcasters can share and amplify their enthusiasm for the art of podcasting. Here, podcasters collaborate in a supportive space, free to showcase their talents, refine their creative process, and sharpen their craft.

As listening to podcasts becomes more popular, the importance of podcasting continues to grow. Unlike well-established radio and television broadcasting, podcasting lacks the long history, supporting infrastructure, and even the formal training that longer running media enjoy.

The goal of the podcaster community is to provide the infrastructure and methods necessary to facilitate positive interactions and foster growth and development among participating members. By sharing ideas in this space, podcasters can develop and refine the knowledge, skills, effective practices, and principles of success that are already established in broadcasting.

The U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence outline the principles of individual rights and limited government. These principles serve as a roadmap to exceptionalism, by explicitly protecting the individual rights that facilitate human flourishing.

The greatness of the United States is a directly observable matter of historic record. However, the reason behind the historically unprecedented economic, scientific, and technological growth is not often understood in terms of the protection of individual rights and the limitations to government that made these achievements possible.

It is all too easy to enjoy the benefits of freedom without understanding explicitly how your rights are protected and defended. However, defending these ideas against attack requires an explicit understanding of the Constitution and the principles behind it in a way that applies to your daily life. The barriers to explicit understanding range from challenging language to complexity of ideas and recognition of the principles behind the founding documents. Further, without recognizing the specific practical applications of the Constitution, it is easy to overlook just how important it is.

The goal of this project is to approach the Constitution and founding documents in an accesible way that integrates ideas into principles and demonstrates how these principles are relevant in your own life and are critical to the success and freedoms you enjoy.

This is a new project applying reason in business decisions. The goal is to provide a way of thinking through questions and challenges in business that recognizes the human mind as the fundamental source of value. A reason-first approach provides a greater chance of success by avoiding the often unpredictable results from decisions based on emotions and gut feelings. Rational approaches also allow for correction and learning from failure, while emotional approaches can provide no such guidance for future actions.

Movers Mindset is a podcast focusing on the philosophical foundations of the practice of Parkour or Art du Déplacement. High quality sound and editing, transcription, and translation of the podcast into multiple languages set the site apart from most podcasts with a level of professional polish that is not commonly found in this medium.

The goal of this report is to provide an unbiased overview of the current state of global parkour organizations. This is not an attempt to support or renounce any particular organization, but rather to provide a single location where the information about each organization can be easily viewed and compared. This report was produced as background research for a presentation given by Craig Constantine on September 29th, 2017, in Brooklyn, New York, as part of the 2017 Art of Retreat event.

The Parkour Forum was an experimental online community, operated for two years starting in 2017. Different from the flashy sites with pictures, videos and a superficial emotional approach to Parkour, the Parkour Forum was text based. Intentionally, there were no attention-grabbing graphics, no distracting images, and no videos of potentially risky practices. Instead, the forum sought to provide a spot for the serious discussion of the foundational ideas of the practice of parkour and a place where parkour practitioners could address and find solutions to practical problems ranging from the protection of parkour as a sport to social issues involved in practicing within a public space.
